This post makes most sense read on Labour Day, on a deck with a cold one in hand, which is where you should be today!
Being that it is Labour Day, and the de facto end of summer, I thought we can take a look at a lighter side of sales while still giving us something to think about without having to think too hard, something many of us in sales are already good at most days.
I'm not a big Shakespeare fan, but one of the things I did like was his use of the environment (skies, landscape, etc.) as tool to accentuate or contrast elements of the plot, or the inner conflicts of characters. Next time between calls, check Macbeth or The Tempest. You can see similar things unfold in sales, or at least those of us observing the drama, often the characters, you the sellers, are too close to see what the audience sees.
More often though, it is more the case that sales people tend to reflect their environment, which is good in the context of a sales meeting, but not when the environment influences their view and execution.
The Tuesday after Labour Day signals the unofficial start of the home stretch for most sellers. This conveniently comes only a few weeks from the Autumn Equinox, (well only here in North America, for our Aussie and southern hemisphere followers it would be the Spring Equinox).
I have always found that the time between the two Equinoxes to be the most productive for sales people. Not just because of the "Year End" or "Start of year" dynamic, but other factors and trends. (Speaking of drama, and Shakespearean predictability, are you braced to see an avalanche of "How to end the year right" posts, quickly followed by "How to start the year right"). An obvious one being the productivity cycle of their market and buyers. There is a natural cycle where businesses are more focused on doing business, less distracted by things like opening the cottage, getting the kids ready for collage, and more.
The Autumn Equinox brings with it shorter and shorter days, less light more darkness; it is dark when you start your day, and dark before it ends, making it easier to focus on the task at hand during day light house. An almost Shakespearean effect of the days narrowing with your opportunity to retire quota. Everything coming to a crescendo with the arrival of the Winter Solstice. While many will run the race right December 31, most will build their efforts to peak days before Christmas. And just as we return to work January 2, new beginnings, fresh opportunities, and longer days, more light, more energy.
Just a crock of sh#t you say, you're probably right, but how deep do you want to be on the "last" day of summer, with a frosty on a deck?

Following the sacking of Roberto Mancini, I saw plenty of City fans on various websites questioning the type of people we had in charge of the club. Not Sheikh Mansour or Khaldoon Al-Mubarak: those two are held in special regard for obvious reasons. Most of the criticism was aimed at Txiki Begiristain and Ferran Soriano for the way Mancini's departure was handled: abrupt, before the end of the season and without giving the fans the chance to say goodbye. However, it is clear that since the end of the season these two have begun to work their magic in the area that was most culpable for our regression last season: transfers.
Of course, most of us mere fans (with the exception of those with the revered 'in the know' status) will never know what goes on in transfer negotiations. But it is clear that Mancini had his targets last summer: the likes of Robin Van Persie, Eden Hazard and Daniele De Rossi. Brian Marwood, who was in charge of transfer dealings then, failed to sign any of these: and this arguably was the biggest reason our title defence was so shabby. Following the loss of the title to City, United spent money and strengthened where they needed to strengthen. City, for the most part, didn't.
That's not to say our business last summer was completely disastrous: we signed Matija Nastasic, who is clearly one of the most accomplished centre halves in the league at the age of just nineteen, and was deservedly runner-up only to Pablo Zabaleta in City's player of the year awards, even if the official awards didn't recognise his achievements. Jack Rodwell, despite his various injury setbacks has shown plenty of promise when he has played. However, it has to be said that Javi Garcia has been disappointing since his move from Benfica. Most City fans thought the signings of Scott Sinclair and Richard Wright were inexplicable at the time, and that instinct has been proved to be correct. Maicon has also proved to be a strange signing, and has certainly made very little impact: certainly not competition for the consistently excellent Pablo Zabaleta.
Contrast that to the first two weeks of the 2013 close season. Despite the lack of a manager having been officially confirmed (although you would imagine Manuel Pellegrini has given the green light for these signings to take place), City already appear to have two top-class players in Jesús Navas and Fernandinho signed, with the promise of more on the way: Isco and Edinson Cavani being the most likely names. Players who will clearly bolster the squad in areas that need improving, rather than second choices who are being bought for the sake of it.
I'm not laying the blame for last season's failure at Marwood's door, because I'm not privy to what's gone on behind closed doors. It's also not the only reason our title defence was so poor. However, I'll say that Txiki Begiristain and Ferran Soriano have quickly identified what City need to do to get back on track and mount a better challenge for the title (and the Champions League) next season, and have wasted no time in starting that process. For that reason, I'm even more confident in the people we have running City than ever before, and even more confident we'll come back even stronger next season.

IAR Embedded Workbench now offers support for Atmel's new picoPower AVR32 UC3L microcontroller family. With its built-in chip-specific code optimizer, IAR Embedded Workbench generates efficient and reliable FLASH/PROMable code for the AVR32 microprocessors. The integrated capacitive touch controller in the AT32UC3L is supported by the Atmel's QTouch Library and is also available for IAR Embedded Workbench. IAR Embedded Workbench integrates the IAR C/C++ Compiler, assembler, linker, librarian, text editor, project manager, and C-SPY Debugger in an integrated development environment (IDE).
IAR Embedded Workbench makes full use of the single-cycle load/store and DSP instructions in the AVR32 UC core. Together with advanced optimization intelligence in the compiler, the generated code will require a minimum of memory space while running applications with excellent per-cycle throughput. The efficient code generated by the IAR Embedded Workbench enables the microcontroller to complete application tasks using fewer clock cycles, thereby conserving power. In addition, smart scheduling and register allocation performed by the compiler avoids unnecessary power consuming load/store operations. In most cases this will not only further reduce the power consuming instructions, it will also generate faster code that allows the microcontroller to go back to sleep mode sooner.
For a typical application utilizing sleep mode, the optimizations in IAR Embedded Workbench reduces the execution time by up to 30%, and consequently lowers overall power consumption by as much as 30%.

Questions and Answers I watched a good deal of the debate last night ( I kind of forgot it was on so I missed the first 30 minutes ) and was everything I expected. And my expectations were not all that high.
There was, toward the end, one question the answers to which revealed everything you need to know to make up your mind about the candidates. They were asked what they would do to encourage employers to bring back jobs that had been moved overseas.
Romney's plan was to make doing business in America more appealing by making our business taxes more competitive and the regulatory burden less burdensome.
Obama's plan was to make it more difficult for a company to move operations overseas by increasing regulation and manipulating the tax laws to make it more costly.
Romney: make America better.
Obama: make leaving just as bad as staying.
The only time I felt compelled to shout obscenities at the television (the only time the compulsion was so strong I couldn't overcome it) was when Obama said everyone should be paying their fair share (i.e. tax the rich more) because everyone should be playing by the same rules. IN THE SAME SENTENCE!
My question is, is he really as stupid as he thinks we are?

Thoughts on the the Debate I watched the Great Debate last night. By watch I mean it was on the TV in my office while I was working.
My first thought was that is didn't matter who was talking only that I was driven to tell the voice on the TV to just SHUT UP.
My Second thought was that if they paid Jim Lerher more than $5.95 to be a moderator they probably overpaid.
Third thought. The One is about as good as debating as he is at being president.
I didn't think Romney was objectively fantastic but by comparison he was a debating god.
The bottom line on the debate is that Romney kicked Obama's ass. For that, the debate was enjoyable.
Sadly though, we face yet another presidential election in which there is no one running that I actually want to be president. I prefer Romney over Obama. But then I would vote for my dog over Obama.

HUMMER Expanding in
"It's clear that as the portfolio expands, and it must, it will head into smaller segments than the H3. That's still a very large car in some markets. To get the maximum out of the brand and guarantee profitability we have to find ways to get a smaller, more efficient vehicle into showrooms."
Lutz even hinted that the company may be willing to sacrifice some of the HUMMER's legendary capability in a bid to keep gasoline consumption down. "We will stay with extreme off-road ability, but we have to create something like an H5 or H6 – and these are cars that are not even in anyone's imagination at the moment – which will have better fuel efficiency than before. But they still have to have more off-road ability than anything else in the class."
He also gave clues about another possible direction the firm might take, saying: "We don't comment on future product before it's launched but we're mindful of the trend in pickup trucks at the moment."

Just wanted to let you all know, my SO and I tried Tang's Pavilion this past Sunday and were disappointed. The food was QUICKLY served to us so it was already PRE-PAPERED in the back. Plus, it wasn't really good. It was lacking flavor. Overall, it just wasn't worth it! The price was not worth it at all, especially for Lunch, and I don't care that it was NYC. It was definetly a MISS.

If you've ever worked with RES PowerFuse, RES Workspace Manager and/or RES ONE Workspace then you are likely very familiar with the Management Console, a Windows based Management Console to configure, administer and maintain your digital workspaces. Although this Windows Management Console is still alive and well in every RES ONE Workspace environment and provides a consistent single point of administration, it's time for a change. Let us tell you about the new web-based RES ONE Workspace Management Portal!
Introducing the RES ONE Workspace Management Portal
Our goal is simple: to streamline the workload resting on IT (specifically IT Helpdesk, IT Administrators, IT Managers, IT Security Officers) and to leverage the power analytics and reporting delivered by a modern, innovative and easy-to-use Management Portal for RES ONE Workspace. During the design phase, we went back to the drawing board and re-wrote user stories to provide you with a new, innovative platform to control your digital workspaces across multiple complex environments. We did not simply convert existing features which are currently in the Windows Management Console to the RES ONE Workspace Management Portal and add to that, we had to re-think our entire approach.
Installation and configuration
Before showing you the powerful capabilities of the RES ONE Workspace Management Portal, let's get it installed first. Now this is really easy and straightforward, similar that you are used to with the Windows Management Console. All you need to have is an IIS Web Server and an internet browser (Microsoft IE or Edge, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Safari on a Mac) and the installer package of the RES ONE Workspace Management Portal.
Follow the instructions in the installation wizard and within a few minutes the RES ONE Workspace Management Portal is installed and a desktop shortcut is created on the first machine where the installation is executed. If you access the RES ONE Workspace Management Portal for the first time after installation, it will show the database setup page by default. Here you can manually specify the database details and credentials
All the current operations in terms of configuration, administration and maintenance RES ONE Workspace environments are now performed from the Windows Management Console. Our goal is to get you on the RES ONE Workspace Management Portal as soon as possible. But instead of delivering you a complete RES ONE Workspace Management Portal, when it is finished, we are taking a phased approach. Therefor you will notice in time, that more and more functionality will be available in the RES ONE Workspace Management Portal. To make life easier for you and avoid switching from Windows Management Console to RES ONE Workspace Management Portal all the time, we've build an integration for you.
Once the Management Portal integration is configured, features that are available in the Management Portal will not be available in the Windows Management Console anymore and are automatically redirected to the Management Portal. Of course you can access the Management Portal via an internet browser directly, without the need to open the Windows Management Console anymore.
Historically RES ONE Workspace contains a lot of information regarding the digital workspace. Think about the configuration which is required to deliver a context aware and secure digital workspace to the end-users, but also session information, auditing information, security logs, application usage for IT staff. Now this information is all stored in the RES ONE Workspace database. Having all this is really powerful and unique, but the biggest challenge is how to deliver a user friendly and easy-to-use way of accessing the right information at the right time, without going to dig into tons of data.
The foundation of the new RES ONE Workspace Management Portal, contains powerful search, filter and sorting capabilities. With these capabilities the RES ONE Workspace Management Portal delivers an easy-to-use view on the information you really need to solve a problem, configure or administer the digital workspace.
Now let's get started and take a common example of the IT Helpdesk department to show you the power of searching and filtering. The IT Helpdesk is called by a user (Testuser1 in this example), who reports that his printer which he normally uses every day, suddenly does not work anymore. The first thing that the IT Helpdesk will do is search for the Workspace Analysis of the digital workspace for Testuser1.
The RES ONE Management Portal shows very quickly that there is an error reported for Testuser1 by showing a marker that an error has occurred at the last user session logon.
When entering the Event Log details, the list of chronological events for the session logon of Testuser1 is shown. By enabling the filter "Only show errors…", the view on the event log is changed from all events to only the events that contain error(s). Optionally this can be combined with a search for "Printer" to narrow down the result to error(s) in the event log related to printers only.
In this example the IT Helpdesk employee spots an error on the printer that was reported by Testuser1, visible in the Event Log details. A next step in troubleshooting why Testuser1 cannot print, could be to determine if a change to the particular printer object was made. To get this information, he navigates to the Audit Trail in a new browser window, by typing audit in the tree view filer and searches for "Printer1stFloor" to determine if a change was made. The result is that no changes are made.
Now there is only one thing left which the IT Helpdesk employee can do, which is a check of the current configuration regarding this particular printer. To get to this information he navigates to the Network Printers section in the Workspace Analysis of this user session. Similar as the IT Helpdesk employee navigated to the Audit Trail, he now uses the filter in the tree view to navigate to Printers.
By applying the proper filters and search in the Network Printers section, the configuration of the particular printer can be gathered. By default, the information in the Workspace Analysis for actions (like this printer) is:
- The order of execution
- Is the object enabled
- Name of the object
- Options related to the object
- Connection State
- Access Control
- Administrative Note
Unfortunately, everything seems to be configured fine and the root cause of this problem needs to be delegated to the next line, the IT Administrator who is responsible for printing.
… And bringing information to the next line
Now the IT Helpdesk employee has opened three browser windows with the RES ONE Workspace Management portal, showing:
- Event Log details, filtered on Printers only with errors
- Audit Trail, filtered on recent changes on Printers
- Network Printers, filtered on the particular printer object which still causes a problem
Part of the foundation of the RES ONE Workspace Management Portal, is the ability to export information where possible. To bring the findings of the performed analysis above to the next line, the IT Helpdesk employee can export the Event Log details, Audit Trail and configuration of the Network Printer, by simply click the "CSV" or "XML" button on each of the screens. A file with the information will automatically be generated, which can be send to the IT Administrator.
This blog is only a small example how the RES ONE Workspace Management Portal empowers you to configure, administer and maintain your digital workspaces across complex multiple environments in such away it is easy-to-use and user friendly. It gives you the ability to get the right data at the right time by using powerful searching, filtering, sorting and analytics.
*Following the launch of RES ONE Enterprise on February 21, 2017, RES ONE Service Store is now RES ONE Identity Director and RES ONE Suite is now RES ONE Enterprise.

[ Coming From: Passive Aggressive ]
Dark browned oculars gazed intently at the road ahead, breathing in the whiff of fresh air that hovered through him like a strong passing wind, produced of course by the increasing speed which he drove at. It was about 150 miles per hour, a cop would have been obligated, by the law, to pull Johnny Blaze to the side and sanctioned him for his reckless speeding. Should it happened, if it did, Johnny wouldn't care. Chances were he would have likely increased the speed of his motor vehicle, with intentions of outrunning the law enforcer, and leave behind a faded trail of oil and burnt smoke, if that was even possible. He shrugged his shoulders, continuing his ride well until the night, or morning, considering that it was already past midnight in this mildly crowded city of Manhattan.
Nights like these were those Johnny spent stalking the streets, with his demonic senses lurking around the corners, prying over those who prey on the fearful. He could scent the smell of criminals and vagabonds performing whatever task earned them such titles. They needed to be taken care of, their sins needed to be charred, and their soul, cleansed. That aroma, that ever lingering odour, it stung like the urine of a skunk. It was nauseating, yet had eccentrically lured his demonic self towards it. It led him to a bar. One that made him raised his eyebrows the moment he parked his bike beside the many other Harley Davidson that were stationed by the side of the establishment. Johnny curiously made his way towards the entrance, walked past the sign that read Outlaws, marched straight into the tavern.
His stare hovered around the packed crowd like a watchful owl. No one seemed to give him any sort of attention, for the mere fact that he appeared to blend fairly accurately with the rest of the crowd. They were all dressed like him: leather jackets, jeans, some ripped, all carrying the appearance of men and women who would likely get stereotyped for being members of the Hells' Angels bike gang. The surprise was nothing to be overly concerned about, Johnny shrugged his shoulders and impassively made his way towards the bar, ignoring the few bickering individual who shouted at him, or towards him. He did give a subtle grin to one cute lady who nodded at him, however, she was a waitress, and chances were she was probably trying to make a good first impression if ever it occurred that she was stuck with having to serve him. No, Johnny didn't think that through, but it was something to take note of for the average reader.
He arrived at the counter with his broad shoulders spread, and his stature imposing, just slightly. In his human form, he had never seemed like much of the intimidating type—even his voice didn't and had likely never covey such desire. His other self however, he had that presence in him, to simply frighten those who dare stare at him. Of course, it helped when you had a flaming skeleton for a head. "Coffee?" was what the stuntman ordered when the barman approached him; those who were around the devil's vessel laughed out loud, mocking the man who had just walked into a bar to order a cup of coffee. The bartender too, joined, and laughed as they all looked at Johnny, and he back at them, nonchalantly, quite impassively with his blank stare. "A shot of whiskey it is then," he grinned subtly, indicating that he was merely joking… just a little. Once the alcoholic beverage arrived to his hand, the man took a sip of his drink quite swiftly, and turned to face the crowd. Two idiotic and barbaric men appeared to be trying to fight one another, such only made Johnny smile as he gazed on curiously. Itching for some action of his own despite his evident I don't give a damn attitude.

I met Sharon when she read an article about the book my husband and I wrote. She wrote me an email and eventually we talked by phone. After our first conversation, I remember turning the phone off on that warm August 2009 day, sitting under my favorite tree in the yard and weeping. The story she told ripped me to my very core and will never be sewn shut.
Sharon was on the 80th floor in one of the twin towers and while I will not go into details, her horrific journey to survival that day was so far beyond what my soul could imagine, that all I could do was listen in silence and disbelief. I read many stories after 9/11 and the heroic measures of courage that took place. My friend Sharon went through extensive therapy and emotional work. She has not only continued to grieve her own losses and the images she carries in her head but she also lost her only daughter in 2006.
When Osama bin Laden was killed I wondered how that would affect her grief. Was she elated? Did she feel as if some justice had been served? We emailed and I realized that for her and, probably many of the others, it was a prayer answered. It was a victory for them, for all of the United States, but it didn't bring any of those loved ones back, or cause any of the memories to go away.
I'm a writer and a grief therapist. When someone goes through a traumatic event or a sudden loss often times the human body builds an invisible wall around the heart and mind to protect the person. Shock often prevents one from facing the true reality in front of them. Reality comes in waves, and the agony of grief follows behind it. For 9/11 survivors and the families of the victims, grief has no rules. This may be the 10th Anniversary, Osama bin Laden and some of his cohorts may be gone, but nothing changes the events of that awful day. Nothing can bring back those that are gone. I, for one, promise to honor and remember the survivors and victims forever. For Sharon, I have nothing but admiration and respect for her courage to keep living her life and to give back to others.
On September 11th I will wake up and I will be silent. I will sit with sadness for everyone impacted directly by the events of that day 10 years ago. Then, I will spell the word 'hope' in my mind, then I will spell it a little bit larger (HOPE) until finally it will be my prayer for that day and everyday for those hurting because of an evil that had nothing to do with them.
May God bless all of you.
I also want to thank the soldiers who fight and protect us every day.

I have been a customer for many years and have recommended services to family and friends. I've never had any serious issues with AT&T until recently, and my experience has been horrible since. I've never e-mailed/posted complaints before but my situation now warrants me to do so. I'm not sure I'll get the resolution I'm looking for by posting here. I had a combined billing account with my wireless and DSL services. I moved a couple of months ago and called in to transfer my DSL service to my new address. The representative I spoke to was very nice but was mistaken when she told me it would be no problem to transfer the service and that a technician would come out within the week to turn on the switch. I waited to weeks and no one came so I called back in. The new rep apologized and stated that DSL service was not available in my new area and that I would have to transfer to UVerse, which I did. I even signed up for UVerse TV, which was not my original plan. The rep told me he would cancel my DSL service retroactive to the date of my original call and confirmed that I would have a $0 balance when I received my final DSL bill within 10 business days. He told me that I would also receive a $40 credit for my troubles but that I would need to call in to the Sales dept. to receive it. I attempted to do so on two occasions but was on hold for so long each time so I just gave up. A technician came out that weekend to install my services but told me he just had an order for internet and not TV. I called in while he was installing internet and was told by a rep that they had no record of me ordering TV but that they could send another technician out within two weeks to do so. The technician installing my internet stated he could and was willing that day but was not given the permission to do so, so I told them to never mind as far as TV was concerned. My wireless service was turned off and I received a bill that week for a ridiculous amount that made me call back in. This was a month later after my original call and it turns out that my DSL service had not been cancelled and, since I had a combined billing account, it affected my wireless service. The rep I spoke with apologized for the misunderstanding, cancelled my DSL service, and immediately turned my wireless service back on. I had him verify that my account was in good standing, I made my monthly payment, and asked to de-combine my account as it was a headache that was not worth it. He confirmed that all was well, my new separate bills would arrive soon, and that I had no outstanding balance on any account. Less than a week later, my cell phone has a message about my sim card not being active, so I figured it was a sim card issue. I was unable to contact AT&T through my cell phone (my only phone) due to the sim card not working so I walked into a retail location and I explained my situation to a representative. He contacts the corporate office through the chat application and this is where the real headache began. My account had been not suspended but CANCELLED due to non payment. He was told a number of different reasons as to why my service was not working, which forced him to call in to clarify. He was eventually told that they would need to run an internal credit check to reactivate my service, which I initially refused because I did not feel I was at fault. They reassured me that it would not affect my credit so, after 2 hours of being at the store, I agreed to. They proceeded to tell me that I had an outstanding balance on my DSL account and that I would need to pay it before they could reactivate my service. I was furious at this point, thanked the retail representative for his assistance, and left. I went to another retail location the following day after I had the chance to calm down and used one of their phones to contact customer service. I was told so many different reasons as to what the problem was with my account, it's not even funny. I spent 4 hours at the store and called in 5 different times. I was initially told that my service would be reactivated immediately and was forced to call back in when it was not. I was transferred to a manager on one of my calls who was very condescending and rude. All of the representatives up to that point had been very friendly and attempted to resolve my situation. I asked this manager to please verify all of the notes in my account but she refused to do so. She offered to mail me a detailed billing statement but I wanted her to explain it to me on the phone since I had been without my phone all week and waiting for a bill in the mail would not resolve my situation in a timely manner. She continued to be rude and ended up hanging up on me. I immediately called back in and got a great representative who offered the most assistance through my whole ordeal. She completely understood my situation and stayed on the line with me an hour and a half as we were transferred to many different departments, each one having a different reason for my account status was and to what amount I supposedly owed. The last representative we spoke to in the Accounts Receivable department provided the most information, stating that, since I de-combined my account, I had an outstanding balance on my wireless account because AT&T pays it in advance. This did not make sense to either me, nor the great rep who was on the line with me and I asked why this was not explained to me when I de-combined my accounts and why I was told that I had $0 balances when I did so. She was unable to explain, offered to transfer me yet again to another department but I was beyond fed up at this point. I thanked the rep who stayed with me for so long through this whole ordeal. So here I am, it's been over a week without my wireless service and I am strongly considering going to another carrier. I have absolutely no problem paying what I owe but, since I was given so many different reasons and amounts owed, I am not comfortable paying as I feel I do not owe since I pay my account in full each month. This is my last ditch attempt to salvage my relationship with AT&T, but I really do not see an acceptable resolution happening. My friends/family think I crazy for spending so many calls/hours trying to fix this but I really have enjoyed most of my experience, up until recently. After spending thousands of dollars over the years, I would have hoped to be treated differently (better), but I fully understand that my account is a very small deal for a huge corporation.

Launching a Newsletter
I am a newsletter subscriber to businessknowhow.com. I saved an article called 17 Ways to Get Newsletter Subscribers since it hit my inbox on March 6th of this year. The reason? I wanted to make my blog more accessible. There are people who do not surf the web for news and commentary. There are also people who have email addresses that are not on Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn. So how do I get in front of these people?
I have been toying around with the ideas in this article listed above. Granted, most of the ideas in the article are focused on internet based methods. But I did find some useful tips for getting subscribers on and off the web. Of the 17 suggestions listed and explained in the article, the suggestions I will be implementing in my business are:
Make a subscription form a prominent feature of your website.
I have finally setup a MailChimp account that allows up to 2000 subscribers for FREE!!! I added the HTML code the blog page (look to the right). But it is not prominent though. I have find space on the homepage if possible.
Capture names of people who leave a product site without buying.
I never considered an exit page. But I think this would also work best for websites with high volumes of traffic.
Ask current subscribers to forward your newsletter to their friends.
I have a two-part plan of attack. First, I am going to email my current and prospective clients. In my mind, they are already true followers of my blog. Yes?? But just in case, that they are not reading it, they can sign up now. Then, once they are signed up they will be encouraged (regularly) to invite friends and family to my blog. I am a firm believer in the power of word of mouth. After all, word of mouth is how I got my start.
Promote your newsletter in your 30-second commercial
I can do this easily with a digital camera and social media platform or YouTube.
Get a friend in your industry to promote your newsletter to their mailing list.
I am going to find out if my fellow entrepreneurs have a mailing list. But I don't want people in my industry to promote it. Why? Accountants, analysts, CPAs, etc. only speak in language that is tangible to them. I want the average Joe to read my blog/newsletter too.
Send a postcard mailing to targeted mailing lists you've built from collecting business cards or from the newspaper
It never occurred to me to use that ever growing stack of business cards I kept after being rejected. I have created a sample postcard on Vistaprint.com. I also researched the small business directory in my state to find where all the small businesses are in my state.
Some tips I really didn't care for were the ones that reeked of desperation. For instance, suggestion # 2 states "Put a subscription box on every page of your website". I think that is overkill actually. The average person only spends on a website is less than 3 minutes, and they usually decide if they are going to stay on the website/page in less than 30 seconds. Most people don't even scroll down the pages. So what the point of adding all the HTML codes if no one is going to see them? My suggestion would be to add it to the top to your home page with your contact information (physical address, phone, email, and fax). By doing this, you will increase your chances of someone actually clicking the link.
In all marketing efforts, there is no cookie-cutter plan that can apply to every business. What do you think about the suggestions I am implementing? How do you feel about the suggestions in the article?

Click here for more posts featuring quote trivia and history of the team in quotes.
New idea for an off-season series: Quote Trivia.
The idea is that I will find various quotes and will post quizzes about those quotes.
I don't have Fred Goodwin's collection of Cowboys books (see his Dallas Cowboys Books Blog on Facebook or his Q&A pieces on AllExperts.com), but mine isn't bad. My sources for today's quizzes are old issues of the Dallas Morning News, but I will get into the books soon.

EU and Russia explore ways to take joint space research to new frontiers
Hundreds of top-level representatives from the European Union and Russia recently gathered in Moscow to draw up a road map for enhancing joint space research within the context of the EU's Sixth Framework Programme.
"We are not building an EU science and technology fortress," insists EU Research Commissioner Philippe Busquin. "Our interest is to build a European Research Area… and co-operation with Russian scientists and industry on space matters is of undeniable mutual interest."
A recent workshop in Moscow organised by the European Commission, ESA and the Russian space agency Rosaviakosmos drew more than 300 high-level delegates from across Europe and the Russian Federation.
Finding new common spaceAlthough both the EU and Russia have impressive track records in space, the complexity and multi-disciplinary character of space activities underscores the strong need for Euro-Russian collaboration in these areas to exploit the two parties' diverse specialities to the full.
Delegates at the conference discussed ways of taking collaboration in space to new frontiers under the Sixth Framework Programme, which has earmarked over €1 billion to promote integrated European aerospace research. On the agenda were the GALILEO satellite navigation system, Global Monitoring of the Environment and Security (GMES), satellite telecommunications, scientific research in space, and the intriguing field of human and robotic exploration.

The latest Busenitz Pro release from adidas Skateboarding sees the silhouette don a design inspired by the 3rd and Army San Fransisco skate spot, which Dennis Busenitz is known to frequent. At first glance, the sneaker looks like a standard edition a smooth off-white upper on a dark gum sole. However, the silhouette is made to transform with wear, becoming scuffed to create a unique look.
…emulates the scratched metal pipes that the spot is known for. Like the pipes, these shoes show wear as you skate them by way of a unique dual-layered surface that exposes metallic silver underneath when scuffed.
The kicks are premium in genuine Italian leather and can be found starting on the 22nd of April through adidas Skateboarding dealers and adidas.com.

Mark Zuckerberg wants to put a lot more "book" into Facebook.
The founder and CEO of the social media site announced on his page that he has vowed to read a book every other week in 2015, with an emphasis on learning about different beliefs, cultures and technologies.
He has created a page called A Year Of Books and urged his friends to join him in the project. As of today, it had more than 100,000 likes.
"I'm excited for my reading challenge," Mr Zuckerberg wrote. "I've found reading books very intellectually fulfilling. Books allow you to fully explore a topic and immerse yourself in a deeper way than most media today. I'm looking forward to shifting more of my media diet towards reading books."
The first book in his programme, Moises Naim's The End Of Power: From Boardrooms to Battlefields And Churches To States, Why Being In Charge Isn't What It Used To Be, was out of stock on Amazon.com and had a sales ranking of No 138.
The End Of Power has now been listed among Amazon's "movers & shakers" for books making the biggest gains on the best-seller list.
Venezuelan-born Mr Naim is an award-winning columnist, author and television host, a former trade minister in his native country and currently a distinguished fellow in the International Economics Programme at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
The End Of Power was first published by Basic Books in 2013.
"It's a book that explores how the world is shifting to give individual people more power that was traditionally only held by large governments, militaries and other organisations," Mr Zuckerberg wrote. "The trend towards giving people more power is one I believe in deeply."
TV talk show host Oprah Winfrey remains the gold standard for choosing books, though clubs have been started by Good Morning America and the Today show, among others.
Winfrey's most recent pick, Sue Monk Kidd's The Invention Of Wings, was announced in early 2014 and became one of the year's top-selling novels.

For a long time now, Bendis's New Avengers has been on the cutting block for me but I've never gone through with it. Since the launch of the title, something's never felt right but I always thought that the promise was there for something great. I enjoy the first story, gloss over the whole Sentry arc, think the Japan story isn't too bad but can't read The Collective. The post Civil War stories were nice since I like the Luke Cage Avengers and thought that up-in-the-air status quo really worked for those characters and their situations.
And then Secret Invasion happened.
The main Secret Invasion story isn't that bad and I have a feeling it will read better in a collected form like House of M does. But the way Bendis is using the two main Avengers' titles to fill in all the minutia backstory is driving me bonkers. Maybe if it was just in New Avengers or just in Mighty Avengers, I wouldn't mind but it's in both. These titles have barely featured the Avengers in the past 4-5 months, instead showing every little detail about the Skrulls and their plans. With the latest issue of New Avengers, it feels like Bendis is just retreading ground he's already gone over.
Secret Invasion is a case where the crossover is driving me off of the books it crosses over with (I never subscribed to Mighty so saying bye to that isn't too bad.) The way Secret Invasion has hijacked the Avengers titles has just bored me to death. It's not that this story isn't needed but the way Bendis is doing it, this fractioned storytelling, doesn't create a whole cohesive story. It produces a lot of fragments that the reader has to put together. But the reader has to care to put them together and I don't think Bendis is putting enough into the Avengers titles currently to make the reader care.
Bendis did this type of storytelling during Civil War, producing single issues highlighting a single character but those worked since the focus there were the Avengers. It wasn't great but it wasn't too hard to get invested in the characters. I also didn't care for this type of storytelling when Brubaker did it in Captain America during Civil War as well. But again, those were characters we already cared about.
So bye, bye New Avengers. I'll probably see you whenever you release a new collection but I'm done with the monthlies. It's been fun.

DESERT FORCE was sent off a short-priced favourite on his debut at Ascot last month but faded inside the final furlong and only beat one home. Expect Richard Hannon's colt to leave that form a long way behind here and he can recoup losses. Harlequin Striker has been placed three times in a row over this course and distance and is getting closer. He had Lysander The Greek behind last time and is by Bahamian Bounty, as are newcomers Awjab and Code Red, but Twilight Son is a more interesting debutant being by Kyllachy out of a mare that's already produced three winners for Henry Candy. Little Riggs and Oriental Splendour should both improve from their initial run.

Little Riggs 66-1 (8-12) Chased leaders, pushed along halfway, no chance with leading trio over 1f out, lost modest 4th close home, 5th of 13, 5l behind Typhoon Season (9-5) at Windsor 6f 2yo mdn (5) gs in Jul.

Veteran garage-noise peddlers Big Black Cloud have unleashed the hounds of disharmony and devilishly great spaz-punk on their latest LP, Black Friday. The crew's affinity for fuzzed-out chord mashing, bionic low-end blasts of beautiful fuckery, and raucous abandon are but a few aspects of Black Friday that stand out; their deftness at articulating rage and lethargy in equal measure via writhing tunes like "Pile of Shit," "Bomb My Brain," and "Wastoids" is about as vehemently punk as it gets. At the core, Big Black Cloud represents an underground renaissance for the rowdies, while also appealing to the somewhat more honed arbiters of noise-fuzz artists like Mudhoney and... sure, Big Black.

Unanswered: Move Staging Data To Weekly Partition
I have a process that loads about 500,000 records on a daily basis and normally takes somewhere in the neighborhood of 5-10 minutes to complete. First I use a SSIS Package to load the data into a staging table, and then call a Stored Procedure that determines which weekly table the data belongs in, and executes dynamic SQL to move the data from the stage table to the final table.
It's working pretty well except that the Monday load (Sunday's data) is taking around 10 hours to run, instead of the normal 10 minutes. The only difference I see is that when it is copying data from the stage table, Monday's load will be adding the first rows to the week's partition.
I have one clustered index on the table, and data from the staging table should be in the same order. There is also a Non-Clustered index on the ID field that is added as part of the insert.
Does anyone have any suggestions for things that I can look at? It makes no sense to me, why an empty table would be 60 times slower...--wayne

Director Vikas Bahl, who is all set to return as a director with his second stint, Queen, feels that he is actually starting from the scratch. Chillar Party (his first film as a director) is forgotten. This is as good as a debut, states Vikas.
While everybody is stunned to see Kangana Ranaut portraying the lead protagonist, Vikas was asked as to what made him choose Kangana for the de-glam role of Rani? "Who said Kangana is de-glam? I wouldn't call her de-glam. It is a very pretty character. She is girl in a group of 10, whom we think gets unnoticed. Every girl has someone who finds her the most beautiful and eventually falls in love with her. This is the story of one such girl in a group of 10. And I think Kangana is pretty, she has her own sense of style. I don't think there is anyone in this world who feels they don't have a style. So de-glam is not the right term for it", reveals Bahl.

Explaining why he zeroed down his choice to Kangana, the director discloses, "We spent 15-20 days of discussing and then narrowed down on her. Kangana belongs to Himachal and she is familiar with those (pahadi) girls. Their accent, dressing, body language etc. So it became easy for me. What Kangana has done is real and not caricaturish".

Fresh Canvas: Teach Your Foal Training DVD by Kalley Krickeberg - OUT OF STOCK COMING TO LIVE STREAM SOON
Kalley has made foal development her life's passion - a passion that has led to an almost scientific exploration of what it takes to set a foal up for success. She spent years at the Atwood Ranch, handling a multitude of foals as she developed an understanding of a foal's natural behavior and psychology. And for everything she's taught to foals, they've taught her just as much. It's this willingness to learn and complete lack of preconceptions that sets Kalley apart.
Kalley herself puts it best: "I love the idea of a freshly groomed arena, a blank sheet of paper, a clean whiteboard – it's the opportunity to make a good mark. You've got none of your past drawings, no old tracks in the dirt. It's all fresh. You can make a perfect circle. You can make a beautiful drawing. You can get all your new ideas out on the whiteboard. I love the title Fresh Canvas because, whether you're taming a wild horse or starting with a foal, you're working with something that has no preconceived notions; it's untouched by humans, and has no baggage. It's pure."
Fresh Canvas segments include:
Approachability Either that you can approach the foal with it remaining calm and confident or, ideally, the foal will approach you while remaining calm and confident.
Lead-ability You are able to lead the foal from Point A to Point B. To achieve this, you need to be able to halter the foal. There are two steps to this process: the catch and the haltering.
Vet Preparation Handling their mouth, nostrils, eyes, ears, anus, belly, between the legs. Basically, its getting the foal comfortable with any and every area of their body that a veterinarian would touch.
Farrier Preparation Confidently being able to have the foal pick its leg up and put it in various positions for a length of time. It takes time to trim feet or do any sort of shoeing, so being able to hold that position is essential.

Netflix (NFLX[1]) reported upbeat numbers this week that has money flow pouring back into the high-beta momentum names. I guess the hedgies just can't stand to miss out on the action. If the momentum stocks rally anywhere near where they just cascaded down from, even I'll be impressed. My take on any rally in the high-flyers is that it will be short lived and then undergo another pullback.
But again, if the market totally ignores the correction these stocks recently endured and they don't come in, I'll be very impressed. It is crucial that the leaders in the Internet and biotech space put up big-time sales figures because most of these stocks have no earnings to speak of. Netflix did have earnings — $0.86 per share in the first quarter — and trades with a price/earnings ratio (P/E) of 91x. Its shares corrected from $458 to $328 before recovering to $365 earlier in the week.
That's quite a ride, but if animal spirit takes over, as does happen, then new highs for the major averages are not out of the question before this rally runs its course. It's never smart to step in front of an oncoming train — and if earnings keep coming in above estimates, then the train coming down the track will be hard to stop.
As such, I remain cautiously bullish and continue to stay fully positioned in short-term covered calls for my Cash Machine Trader portfolio.
One of the sectors that has shown excellent relative strength in the midst of the tech correction that took down NFLX and other high flyers is semiconductors. Nvidia (NVDA[2]) is a standout here but another name within this group of current overachieving stocks that remain technically sound is ON Semiconductor (ONNN[3]), a maker of various chipsets for electronic systems and products worldwide.
ON Semiconductor's chips touch just about every industry category in the economy. ONNN stock trades better than 7 million shares per day, and the company beat Q4 estimates by 21%, propelling the shares on their new uptrend. I recommend initiating a short-term covered call on ONNN by buying the stock at market on this minor pullback and selling to open the ONNN May $10 Calls at $0.30 per contract or better.
For every 100 shares of ONNN you own or purchase at market, use a limit order to sell to open 1 ONNN May $10 call at $0.30 or more per contract, good till canceled.
The option symbol is ONNN140517C00010000. If ONNN is trading above the $10 strike on the May 17 expiration date, the potential called-away return is approximately 6% in just about three weeks, depending on your stock entry point.
The NFLX's of the world still need to prove themselves to me, but I uncover 8 to 10 names each month that make ideal short-term covered call trades, and ONNN is one of them.
Get paid immediately on every trade you make! Most people lose money trading options – you can bank 5%-10% on every trade, like clockwork.
We've enjoyed 63 winning trades since our mid-September launch, and we've closed winning trades 81.8% of the time. My "Cash-on-Demand" trading strategy is a highly-disciplined, systematic approach that turns your money every 20-4030-45 days. Get the details here[4].

California property management audits – do you need an attorney to represent you?
One question we get a lot is "if I get a DRE audit letter requesting an audit of my property management company do I need to hire a real estate law firm, or does that MAKE ME LOOK GUILTY?
The short answer is NO, you do not "look guilty" just because you hire a property management law firm to help you as you go through a California Bureau of Real Estate Audit. This blog discusses this interesting question.
Getting the Property Management Audit Demand Letter
So here's the situation, say you are a California property management company (residential or commercial, apartment buildings etc.), and you get a letter from a DRE investigator (now "BRE") demanding that you submit your company to an audit. As we have discussed in many other blogs, podcasts, and videos, these audits could be RANDOM or driven by a COMPLAINT.
A fair number of property managers are not certain whether or not they are 100% in compliance, and so sometimes they turn to our firm seeking legal representation, and sometimes, a broker property management self-audit.
I often get the question "do i look guilty if I hire a real estate lawyer" in this situation? My answer, no, and you shouldn't look guilty when charged with a crime (such as embezzlement, grand theft, etc.) and you hire a lawyer to help you, or if you hire a lawyer to help you with an IRS audit. I often ask people "what do you think Donald Trump would do if a real estate regulator wanted to audit his books?" While I cannot say for sure what he would do, I would think he would hire legal representatives to assist him.
You don't need a lawyer to represent you in a property management audit
It's 100% true – you don't need a lawyer to represent you in a DRE or BRE audit/investigation. You might even hear this from representatives of the California Bureau of Real Estate ("BRE") or the Arizona DRE (we represent brokers on both states). While this is technically true, I am going to give you my top reasons why you SHOULD consider hiring a real estate attorney to help you when you are dealing with a property management audit in California EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT GUILTY OF ANY WRONGDOING.
Top Seven reasons to hire a real estate law firm to help you with a property management audit
1. Your real estate license is your livelihood, and when it comes to your ability to earn a living, this is something you need to take very serious. Our firm can help you prepare to respond in the best light possible to the requests set forth in the audit demand letter.
2. Sometimes the property manager will know "who" filed the complaint (when it is a complaint-driven audit), and preparing your version of the story is important, and getting the documentation in order to best prepare your case. The time to review the transaction with your attorney can be very important.
3. You don't know what you don't know. Sometimes there are hidden compliance issues that you might not be aware of. At times, we can point out, or make a few suggestions that would help you from a legal compliance standpoint, in preparing for the audit.
4. The auditor makes some people nervous, and makes some people defensive. When this happens, people tend NOT to hear everything that is being said, and may not be taking diligent notes of what's being requested (auditor's often request information and we can help facilitate getting everything the auditor is requesting, while you continue to run your practice.
5. Auditors will often have you "initial" documents, and may ask you to sign a final "compliance findings" statement (basically acknowledging the auditors findings). It might makes sense to have documents reviewed by a real estate lawyer before you put your initials to them.
6. In some cases, the property management audit will lead to a cite and fine real estate compliance case, or an accusation (in an accusation, your license may be on the line and you could be subject to a license revocation or suspension administrative hearing in front of the OAH. In either event, it makes sense to have a real estate law firm on your side that is already familiar with your organization, and familiar with the case. If it goes to an accusation, your law firm already understands the case and is in a good position to help you negotiate a favorable settlement without having to go to a hearing.
If you can get your case settled with a "cite and fine" you can often avoid getting an embarrassing blemish on your public record on the DRE public records database. This will cost you clients and future business in most cases as accusations are posted on the BRE database with a link to the accusation and settlement.
7. You are entitled to due process in real estate cases. Part of due process means you have a right to have legal counsel represent you throughout the process.
These are some of the most common reasons property managers and other real estate brokers and salespeople in California hire our law firm when they get a audit demand letter.

Hambleton Council Looks for More Traveller Sites
3:19pm 25th February 2013
An action plan to meet the need for travellers' pitches in Hambleton is being drawn up.
A recent study undertaken for the District Council identified that 26 pitches - 11 public and 15 private - would be needed over the next 15 years. Of those nine private and two public pitches are needed by 2017.
An earlier study of Showmen's yard requirements identified that about ten plots would be needed in the district by 2019 – those plots have not yet been provided.
Now the authority is looking to landowners and their agents, Parish Councils and the traveller community to help identify and put forward sites they think might be suitable to meet these needs. These will be assessed by the Council against its policies with a view to inviting planning applications for suitable sites.
"The Council needs to be more proactive in dealing with current problems at several unauthorised gypsy sites in the district," said Councillor Mark Robson, Portfolio Holder for Planning.
"The key to this is planning for new pitch provision in more appropriate locations. As with other forms of housing, the Government expects Councils to provide adequate suitable sites to meet established local housing needs from travellers and it is essential that we act to find suitable sites as quickly as possible. The Council is also investigating providing public sites in conjunction with delivery partners."
He said sites should not harm the amenity of existing residents, be close to a town or large village with good access to a range of local services such as a school and shop, have good highway access and avoid protected sensitive areas.
Submitted sites will be fully assessed against planning policies and government guidelines
Anyone with a potential suitable site should call Amanda Madden on 01609 767048 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
