1. CFL team plays a top college team.. For years, all I hear about is a top college team could "hang in there" with a bad NFL team.. Its a shame, they cant at least have an exhibition game.. College rugby teams, play against 2nd string professional club teams and 2nd string international teams, ALL THE TIME! Why cant the americans do it? I would love to see this match up..
2. Call me Blasphemous.. Have a super bowl in London.. If you yanks are ever going to get remotely serious about expanding the sport to an international level.. The first step on the Golden path is London.. Alot of yanks dont know this, but there is a "cult" following amonst us Brits, that follow the NFL.. Since the 80's there has ALWAYS been a TV program in England, that will show game of the day on Sunday night NFL style..
Wembley is one of the most gorgeous stadiums in the world..
And while February in England isnt exactly super weather.. It wont be artic either..
3. The US female national soccer team, plays against one of the top male college teams..
Everyone loves a battle of the sexes..
And with USA consitently getting to the semis and finals of the WC.. It is a decent product.

"2. Call me Blasphemous.."
You are blasphemous. A Super Bowl in a foreign country is completely unamerican, and would do the exact opposite of creating excitement for Americans. American fans that would normally attend the game would be stuck watching it on TV. The Super Bowl should always be in the U.S.
A CFL team playing a college team would only be half-american. No go for that one.
Americans, generally speaking, don't like soccer. Nothing will change that.
1. Play the Super Bowl at Lambeau Field. The biggest game played in the most brutal weather possible. Real men playing the sport in real weather. Fighting your opponent and the elements simultaneously. The ratings would be incredible.
2. NBA games at Rucker Park. I don't like basketball, but I think I would watch this. The crowd would be raucous and electric. It would be highly entertaining.
3. NFL QB Skills Competition. Everybody is always arguing who the best QB is, so they can prove it here. Accuracy, distance, evasion, etc... That would rule.
Those are my ideas.

Hey, Im not the first person to flirt with the idea of having the superbowl in London..
If you think about it, England has alot more in common with your policies, than the "deep south".. We have always been a kind ally towards the States, and we have always tried to help you out where we could, even if it meant sacrificing our own blood for a stupid cause, (eg Iraq)..
Back in 1994, USA of all countries hosted the World Cup in soccer..
Everyone knew it would be a horrendous world cup, cause americans dont have any passion when it comes to soccer..
However, the dudes in charge thought it was worth a shot, cause they wanted the chance, (even if it was a small one), for the sport to grow..
If you want the sport to grow.. You are going to have to take risks..
"Sitting at home is not going to do anything"..
Besides its just one freakin Super Bowl..
Its not like a soccer world cup, that happens ONLY ONCE EVERY 4 YEARS..
Super Bowl happens EVERY Year..
Not having it on american soil, for one year, I think its something we can live with..
You guys will still get to celebrate a super bowl, 99 times out of 100 years..
Quit being such a baby:)
BM. said 02/10, 11:54 AM
The Declaration of Independence is proof that the Super Bowl should never be held in Europe. Especially not in England. We are free from you douchers now. Going back to England would set this country back 236 years.
Again, nobody here cares about soccer. It's shallow and pedantic to us high-class, hard-working americans (shown below).
Selling americans on a SB in Europe would be the exact opposite of this salesman selling Peter Griffin volcano insurance.
We just won't stand for it. It's American. It should be held in AMERICA. The idea is horrible. Samir said it best:
The NFL will never grow to include European countries on a regular basis. It's an inconceivable idea. The travel would just not work.
No, we will get to celebrate a Super Bowl 100 out of 100 years because it's just never going to happen.
HighwayCrossingFrog said 02/10, 12:23 PM
ok, you dont like my SB Euro Idea..
But if they can make a disney world in Europe.. ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE..
My other 2 ideas would involve highly competitive games, that you are under estimating..
Like I said in my first argument.. EVERYONE LOVES A BATTLE OF THE SEXES..
Although I dont particularly like womens sports..
I do like the USA and Sweish national soccer teams, cause they have some of the most beautiful women on the planet.. I have a major crush on Hope Solo.. She would just tear you up.. and she's not one of those air head models.. Solo, actually has another skill other than getting paid for men to drool at her..
And I did watch Japan beat the states in the world cup final.. I hate to say this but it was a good highly competitive game, with alot of suspense involved..
The tennis equivalent of Bobby vs billie jean King, was a massive success, and made a ton of money..
Deep down in my heart.. I know my soccer proposal is an excellent very plausible idea, (injuries in soccer our at a minimum, and Im sure the college guys wouldnt try and kill the girls via rough tackling,)..
Just because YOU dont like soccer..
Doesnt mean my idea would be a great success..
BM. said 02/10, 12:58 PM
Disney in Europe? That's your argument?
Disney is a worldwide phenomenon. It makes sense for Disney to have a presence in Europe.
England doesn't even have an american football league. I highly doubt that thousands of Europeans are going to shell out a few grand to attend a game for a sport they aren't even familiar with.
Yeah, everyone loves a battle of the sexes. But Americans dont like soccer.
If it was bikini beach volleyball, you can bet your funny accent that americans would watch it. We like to see half naked chicks running around with their boobies flopping around.
But not soccer. The women wear sports bras.
We like manly sports.
Again with the soccer. The UNITED STATES, in general, DOES NOT LIKE SOCCER. We just don't. There are much better alternatives. It's not that it's just me that doesn't like soccer. Soccer is not big in the U.S. unless you are talking about little kids playing.
The SB will never be played in London, and we hate soccer.
Best thing American sports can do is ignore Europe.

An extremely quick Google search provides at least 12 hotels within a small radius of Lambeau.Doucher.
12? For the thousands of people that would be going? Even in Indy people had to stay as far away as Cincinnati because they didn't have enough hotel rooms. I don't think Lambeau is possible.

However, we do realize that some links are outside of your control. As a result, for this specific incident we are taking very targeted action on the unnatural links instead of your site as a whole.
If I am reading this correctly - Google will simply discount the links, instead of penalizing your website. God, I hope I am reading this correctly :)
This is also how I read it; however, what about entire sites that seem to have been previously penalized (subsequent to Penguin 1.0, the site doesn't rank #1 for its own name and is supplemental for snippets of content)? Maybe the next Penguin refresh will reduce the severity of the penalty, particularly for the site owners who have done some link cleanup. We are going on 2 months since the last Penguin refresh.
I am just returning from a 10 day vacation (needed to get away from the computer), so just catching up on all the news in WebmasterWorld. I am trying not to ask redundant questions. It still sounds like a big mess with these link messages.

Forest Service (FS) personnel placed gates and signs on FS Road 20N35, known locally as the Scales Road, to alert motorists about a closure, however, they have been illegally removed. Travel on the road is not allowed due to a hazardous landslide. The road closure is located about 1.5 miles southeast of the Strawberry Guard Station, in legal location T20N, R8E, Section 22 (northeast corner).
The large slump and crack in the road bed are affected by winter moisture and may slide at any time. Closure signs will be replaced, but motorists that choose to ignore the road closure and continue traveling on the Scales Road will be doing so at their own risk.
The alternate route for access is through the LaPorte area. Passenger vehicles may access the Scales area via Plumas County Road 513 (21N28) from the town of LaPorte across the steel bridge, then across Slate Creek to Sierra County Road 791 to Queen City. Turn right on Sierra Co. Road 690 (21N17) to Sierra Co. Road 691. Continue on 691 to the town site of Scales.
The area has been greatly impacted by natural geologic processes along with groundwater saturation of the original fill, thus creating the potential for landslide. An expensive and complex fix was completed in 2007, however, a large crack is forming again making the area unsafe for travel.
For more information, contact Herman Wendell at the Feather River Ranger District, (530) 532-7466.

This apartment is located on the 4th floor (lift unavailable). It is very bright and has beautiful wooden beamed ceilings.
The apartment is composed of a living room with a double sofa bed, a completely equipped kitchen, 2 bedrooms with a Queen sized bed and a bathroom with a shower.
The apartment includes AIR CONDITIONING, a TV set (TV only in Italian), a microwave, a toaster, an iron and an ironing board.
The size of the apartment is about 110 square metres.
Within the same building (same floor) there is another apartment for 4 persons (click here to view) so if you book the 2 apartments you will be able to bring a party of up to 10 persons.
This apartment is located on Via dei Coronari, right behind Piazza Navona.
Piazza Navona, one of the most famous squares in Rome, is definitely a must for those who visit the Eternal City, and one of the favourite spots among Romans. Its three fountains (including the central one, which appears in all the books about Rome), the colourful restaurants and the churches give Piazza Navona a lively feeling during the day (when artists gather around to sell lovely pictures) and a magical atmosphere at night. You'll absolutely love sitting at a bench as the band from the restaurant next to you plays Italian music and the young men and women on the square offer you a red rose!
The apartment is located in one of the little streets between Piazza Navona and Tiber River, in this characteristic side of the Eternal City. Campo dei Fiori is very close by (about 300m away), and if you walk down Corso Vittorio Emanuele you'll be able to reach all the important sites in Rome: Largo Argentina, Piazza Venezia, the Roman Forum, the Coliseum and much, much more!
Well located, very clean, very spacious and modern, the owner is very nice and caring, the internet did not work.
Overall, this was a really great place to stay in Venice - great location and a really cute and cozy space. Natalia is the owner, very nice and accomodating. She was out of town on our arrival date, but arranged for a friend of hers to meet us at the bus station.
A few small things to note though:
The process was a bit confusing as the unit is rented through a third party agency, but you still deal with the owner directly. (Natalia, if you know about this site, rent it yourself and cut out the second middle man!)
Some of the other reviews here are correct in the plaza being a bit noisy at night and the wi-fi being difficult to figure out.
Beyond that though, a great spot and would definitely stay again.
The apartment is nice and its location is indeed very close to Coliseum. Internet connection seems to be limited to two connected devices. This is not convenient when you travel not alone.
Very happy with our stay. Great location in a busy square with plenty of fun bars. The flat itself is plenty large enough to relax in.
If I was in Venice again, I would happily stay in this flat.
The location is perfect! Just literally 1 minute from San Marco! The kitchen is very well equipped that we ended up cooking most if our meals there. The fish market is very close, only 15 minute walk, so I would highly recommend anyone who rent this place to cook your own seafood!
The flat is very spacious and clean. We have a toddler and he could run around in the flat and not feel like being confined.
The beds are not very comfortable though. They seem like air beds, and the middle portion if the bed is slightly bulging out. We don't feel it the first night since we were so tired. But the nights after we're pretty bed, I felt like my back is being pushed upward, and I woke up with a terrible backache the next morning. I ended up sleeping on the sofa bed in the living room. Other people in our party also complains about the beds.
Another problem, which maybe a common problem in Venice, is that there were Mosquitos. It's end of October and there are still lots of Mosquitos. The fact that Venice is a water town and the bottom of this building is a restaurant maybe the cause for the Mosquitos. We solve the problem by not opening the windows in the bedrooms, and we make sure to close the doors of the rooms that we keep the windows open for ventilation such as bathroom and kitchen.
Communication with Enrico is non existent. This may not be a problem since all of my message to him doesn't really require reply, such as notifying him we are arriving shortly, we are checking out and leaving the keys inside etc. maybe that's the reason he didn't reply my message. So make sure you could establish a line of communication with him just in case something needs attention.
All in all this is still a very nice place to stay and I would rent it again if I were in Venice again, just hope the beds will improve.
Thanks for your feedback about the (website hidden).
We are going to check with the owner how to improve the beds and to prevent the mosquitos enter into the flat.
In October there should not be many mosquitos in Venice since it is fresher than in summer. Maybe, you just met some by chance.
I apologize that I could not reply to those short messages on time via the Airbnb chat, but due to a technical issue for several days on the Airbnb account we only got those messages after your departure. For a safer communication it is advisable to use a normal e-mail and/or phone call.
As you remind, all the messages via email were promptly replied.
Once again we appreciate your comment to improve the quality of our services.
Charming apartment located in the heart of Venice! Definitely would recommend to friends.
Tres bon sejour, avec possibilité d'arriver tard
Pas très proche du centre mais accessible en transport (ou à pied)
L'appart est propre et confortable.
Seul problème: départ tot imposé le dimanche matin si d'autres hotes suivent... (mais possiblité de laisser les bagages quand meme)
The lovely apartment is the perfect place to stay for your visit in Rome. Located on one of the most fashionable streets in Rome, it is an ideal location to both enjoy Rome and all the comforts of a modern apartment. It was spotless and comfortable. Enrico is a gracious host. He waited for us to arrive, even though we were late. The bedrooms are very spacious and the bathroom included a stand-up shower. We loved our stay near the Spanish Steps in this beautiful apartment!
We enjoyed our visit very much - the place was very nice and small garden next to two canals was a special bonus.
The apartment is great, just like the pictures, and the location is fantastic: right in the middle of all the action, with easy access to the subway and within walking distance of many of the sights and about a thousand restaurants.
We arrived by car, and I will say that it was difficult, mainly because the area is so popular and lively and in Rome's ZTL. Arrive by train or taxi if possible.
Enrico gave us a warm welcome, was very helpful with our difficult driving/parking situation, and a great host in every way. Thanks Enrico!

Building an Electronic Fence to Track Space Junk
To ward off orbital debris, three aerospace companies compete to design a "space fence"
Thousands of manmade pieces of space junk orbit the Earth, threatening astronauts and unmanned missions alike. Now the U.S. Air Force Space Command wants an electronic "space fence" that could track any orbital object larger than two inches in width.
Such a surveillance system would require a global network of sensitive S-band radar stations that operate in the gigahertz range of the electromagnetic spectrum. The U.S. Air Force currently relies on a system dating back to 1961, which only covers the continental United States, and can only track objects 20 inches in width or larger.
The growing cloud of space debris in Earth orbit includes more than 16,000 pieces of debris larger than four inches in width. And that only seems likely to grow, given incidents such as a satellite collision in February and space weapon tests by several nations involving old satellites.
A piece of space junk even forced astronauts to temporarily evacuate the space station in March as a precaution. Experts also continue to warn of the dangers to the growing numbers of private launches and space tourism.
Northrop Grumman, Lockheed-Martin, and Raytheon have each received $30 million from the U.S. government to compete in the federal "space fence" competition, which ends in 2010. And beyond that date, wilder solutions could come into play to begin helping clean up the orbital mess.
Worrywarts on Earth can ease up a bit in the meantime, too. NASA has said that our chances of being struck by a falling piece of space debris are extremely slim.

This just goes to show incredibly stupid we humans can be in polluting everything we possibly can till it becomes a dangerous hazard. Then we go about trying to find billion dollar solutions to clean up the mess and the consequences of this glaring lack of foresight.
Who are the idiots that never thought of cleaning up the left over junk after themselves (wiping their space a**) in this specific case? Scientists!
Will we ever learn? Doesn't look like it.
I can easily foresee the coming human mess on Mars and the Moon. We'll do what we always do, just leave the junk lying around for some future generation to have to clean up.

New Focaccia branch open in FiDi
The new Focaccia branch on First (at Market) was up and running (although not at full speed) when I walked out of my office for lunch today (there are entrances both on First and on the courtyard between 425 and 455 Market, behind the Starbucks).
It will be nice to have a better sandwich option than Specialties close to the office, and even better when they get the hot foods fully up to speed.
Focaccia Cafe & Bakery
119 Sacramento St, San Francisco, CA 94111
Additionally, there's a farmer's market on Monday 12-530 p.m. in the courtyard (today was 1st day)
re: Ruth Lafler
The courtyard on the First Street side of the complex (just a few steps south of the Focacia entrance on 1st St.) immediately south of 455 Mkt. building across from Jack in the Box). Didn't have time to walk through and see if the booths extended through to Fremont St.
The tomato grower was from Winters ($3.75/lb with an Opening Day special of $3.25) & had purple cherokees; the orchid grower, from Watsonville had offerings ranging from $6 to $8.

Chuck Jackson
Chuck Jackson
He's relatively forgotten today, and his brand of uptown soul is dismissed by the relatively vocal clique of critics who prefer their soul deep and down-home. But Chuck Jackson was a regular visitor to the R&B charts (and an occasional one to the pop listings) in the early '60s with such early pop-soul concoctions as "I Don't Want to Cry," "Any Day Now," and "Tell Him I'm Not Home." His records were very much of a piece with New York pop/rock-soul production, with cheeky brass, sweeping strings, and female backup vocalists. Those production trills make his work sound dated to some listeners, and his hoarse, emotional vocals weren't as subtle or commanding as peers like Ben E. King or Wilson Pickett. On its own terms, though, his best work is quite good, whether you prefer pop to soul or vice versa.

Jam Shows Abe Overcoming Sticky Prices
With Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe laboring long days trying to vanquish the chronic price falls that have plagued the nation for over 15 years, he might find some evidence of success at the breakfast table.
More In Inflation
- BOJ Beat: BOJ Eyes Expanding Cheap Loans To Spur Bank Lending
- BOJ Beat: Market Rethinks Bets on Easing as Inflation Rises
- BOJ Beat: Kuroda Ends 2013 Facing Heavy Dose of Skepticism
- BOJ Beat: Yen's Fall a Boon for BOJ's Bid for Inflation Target
- Leading Japan Economist Says Abe On Right Track, But BOJ a Risk
Starting September, food-product maker Kewpie Corp. says it plans to hike the price of some of the types of jam it sells by about 4% to 7%.
While one might think that the price of jam would fluctuate along with other goods on a regular basis, Kewpie, perhaps best known domestically for its mayonnaise, says that the price increase is actually the first in 23 years.
Citing a variety of factors such as the cost of raw materials as well as the impact of the yen's weakening, the company is mainly raising the cost of strawberry and blueberry jam as well as orange marmalade. Apple jam prices remain unchanged.
Besides jam, there have been other recent indications that the prices of other breakfast favorites might start to go up.
Last week, Megmilk Snow Brand Co. President Yoshiharu Nakano told reporters that his firm was mulling raising prices on some of the company's milk-based products.
"The industry doesn't need to just consider cost-cutting efforts and the burden placed on consumers but also whether (rising prices) might damage consumption," local media reported.
The proof of the pudding, so to speak, may come on Friday when the government reports June consumer-price figures. According to a survey of analysts by the Wall Street Journal and the Nikkei, Japan's nationwide core consumer-price index is expected to rise 0.3% from a year earlier. That would be the first on-year increase in the closely watched core CPI data since May 2012, and should cheer up the prime minister's morning meal.

SALT LAKE CITY — TRAX operations were stalled for more than an hour Monday morning after a man was struck and seriously injured by a southbound train.
The accident occurred around 6:30 a.m. near the TRAX station at 2100 South and 200 West when the man was apparently trespassing, Utah Transit Authority spokesman Gerry Carpenter said. The man was hit by a southbound train.
"The gentleman was in the right of way, where he shouldn't have been," UTA Police Capt. Jason Petersen said. "He was about 30 feet north of the grade crossing, and somehow he ended up under the train."
It was unclear how the man ended up on the light-rail tracks. Carpenter said UTA officials planned to interview him. But one witness, Brian Christensen, said the man slipped.
"The gentleman was trying to get across on the tracks and he had lost his footing, and that's when he slid underneath the train," Christensen said. "I heard him yell, 'Help! Help!'"
Petersen said the man was dragged about 20 feet, but that the train was slowing as it approached the station, leading to injuries that allowed the man to remain coherent. Carpenter said the man was pinned under the train for about 45 minutes while emergency personnel worked to free him, using heavy lift equipment to lift the train.
Meantime, all train routes in every direction were stalled until about 7:40 a.m. Carpenter said there were some residual delays lasting between 10 and 15 minutes.
"Safety is our top priority," he said. "We need to make sure emergency personnel are safe, so we did not run any trains until they had cleared the scene."
A bus bridge was used to transport passengers, but "with the demand, it was very slow," according to Carpenter.
Jonny Love was on the train headed to work at the time of the incident and said he heard the man screaming for help. He thought the man was trying to walk alongside the train when he slipped.
"It's a big, 3,000-pound vehicle. Why walk in front of it?" Love said. "I hope he's OK."
Carpenter said this case is a good reminder of the importance of only crossing at designated areas when it is clear and safe.
"We will investigate why he was in there," Petersen said. "The grade crossing was fully activated when he ended up in there. He was in no-man's land."

It's rare that I see the Little House in winter. Come November, it's too cold and raw for a house made of balsa wood, and this fall, Fauxhawk and I did the honors in locking it up, neat as a pin, until spring.
The Little House is fast asleep. We come to rouse it, briefly, from its slumber. The world around it is already beginning to stir. Poking out from a landscape of browns and grays are edges of the palest, most tenative greens. Snowdrops greet us at the door like tiny footmen.
The house is just as we left it this fall, everything still pale and fresh and cold like the inside of sea shell. I set a fire, watching with satisfaction the chimney draw and the fatwood drip.
There is work to be done. Roses need pruning, vines need pulling, trees need feeding, shears need sharpening, ladders need climbing. And if there's a ladder, my dad will climb it - come hell or high water. The fruit trees beg for a haircut, and we oblige, clippers and saws in hand. I gather armfuls of fallen branches, their fat buds promising cherry blossoms in four week's time.
These days I find grace in the smallest things.
It is the first real snow of the winter (if you can call two inches that turned to slush "real") and I hop the R train to Bay Ridge to see a girl about a baby. Swaddled against his mother - the friend I met when I was only a few months older than this wee babe - he sleeps. And sleeps. And sleeps.
"Listen," I say, poking him. "I need to see some action here."
"He's sleeping - you can hold him when he wakes up."
Two minutes of slumber later.
"This baby is broken!" I complain. "How do I get a refund?"
Finally, finally, I get my snuggle. A tiny beastie as hot as a furnace against my cold hands. Such a pleasing weight in the crook of my arms. I watch him drift off, dreaming the shadowy dreams of infants.
* * *
Back at home, there is coffee and a handful of anemonies someone should paint. I experience a complete revelation: pot roast. Earthy and savory and laughably easy.
Dinner with friends, the girls watch Sophia Grace and her hype girl do Nicki Minaj as feelings of awe and horror duke it out. The boys hack away at the Christmas tree, feeding the fireplace with dry pine boughs. It feels vaguely disturbing, like something a serial killer might do if he left his Christmas tree too long and couldn't be bothered to take it down five flights of stairs. Staring at the sad empty space where the tree once was, I console myself with an orchid strung with lights. It's Hawaiian Christmas, everybody!!!!
* * *
Morning again. At Cafe Luxumbourg, the girls make eyes at Jon Hamm in the corner but he doesn't know he's in love with us yet. We're not wearing our Mac #7s after all, so what can we expect? We talk about dreams and aspirations and I demonstrate my superior restaurant crying skills with an unexpected outburst that casts a dark pall over the afternoon.
Walking out into a gray, uninspiring day, I call my dad. "Come over," he offers, and I realize it's really the only thing I want to do.
When I arrive, he is shivering on the chaise longue. "I seem to have caught a chill," he chatters, as I quickly fix a tray of tea, Tylenol and baklava. Swaddled in blankets, he is as hot as a furnace against my cold hands.
We chat about Paris after the war, his dinners on Rue du Dragon, whether the Giants will win the playoffs. Sick as he feels, his mere presence cheers me, and I know mine cheers him.
Then, apropos of nothing, he changes the tune.
"I come from a line of diffident underachievers," he says, counting the ways. "If there is something you want to do, you must do it. There are always countless reasons why you can't. But you must."
It is the kind of conversation we never have. His directness fills me with countless questions. So many I can't think of a single one.
"Are you warmer now, Dad?"
"Yes," he says. "I think I am."
Tucking the blankets tighter, I watch him drift off, sleeping the sleep of the just.

A guest post by Matthew Schwartz
Ever since we launched Follow the Lead in late 2009, the most popular blog posts have revolved around cold calling. Despite all the kibitzing about online communications and inbound marketing – and the accompanying shift in marcom budgets – cold calling remains one of the most enduring, albeit problematic, methods of generating new leads. In an increasingly digital era, the human touch, the human voice (unaltered and unabridged), is taking on a new currency.
But the game has changed. Dialing for dollars is no longer forgivable, not to mention prohibitively expensive. Such an approach to generating new leads is, at best, counterproductive and, at worst, inexcusable, what with online-search engines the norm of business and myriad tools available online on how to drill down so you're reaching more qualified prospects.
In numerous conversations over the last 18 months with industry observers, a few essential elements about effective cold calling have bubbled to the surface:
Create a profile of the customer you're trying to reach:
Take the time to research the prospects you plan to call to determine whether they are legitimate prospects; where they reside in the company hierarchy; whether they have the power of the purse; what problem you're product and/or service is going to solve and what kind of pain you plan to reduce.
Rehearse an unscripted script:
Once you have a prospect on the horn, you have a very small window to get your message across. It's good to have an outline in front of you – with some key bullet points – but it's important not to sound scripted. Have a command of the nomenclature as it relates to the prospect and the marketplace make sure you're up to speed on the company's competitors, stock price and other vital stats.
Cultivate the conversation:
An initial conversation with a prospect is, one can only hope, the beginning of a prosperous relationship and not a one-shot deal. The buyer is not going to make a decision based on a single conversation. Indeed, in an initial conversation the seller's role is to listen carefully and assess what kind of information he or she needs to provide in order to help the buyer.
Distinguish yourself and your company:
To appeal to delete-happy prospects, you've got to set yourself (and your product) apart and convey relevant information. But cold calling still exists because people buy from people. Try to locate any commonalities between you and the prospect that you think would be fair game to bring up during the conversation. If you see an opening, and it's appropriate, try to infuse a little humor into the dialogue. It's the great equalizer.

On a day like today, German painter Anselm Kiefer, was born
March 08, 1945. Anselm Kiefer (born March 8, 1945) is a German painter and sculptor. He studied with Joseph Beuys and Peter Dreher during the 1970s. His works incorporate materials such as straw, ash, clay, lead, and shellac. The poems of Paul Celan have played a role in developing Kiefer's themes of German history and the horror of the Holocaust, as have the spiritual concepts of Kabbalah.

OGDEN -- Two days after the longest game of the Ogden Raptors' season, rain threatened to make Friday's one of the shortest.
A couple of brief rain showers moved through Lindquist Field, but the weather couldn't delay or dampen Ogden's enthusiasm for snapping a five-game losing streak.
Jesmuel Valentin and Joey Curletta each drove in a pair of runs as the Raptors defeated the Idaho Falls Chukars 8-1.
Curletta and Jacob Scavuzzo both had three hits while Valentin, Justin Chigbogu and Austin Cowen each added two more. Ogden tallied 16 hits total and three Raptors pitchers combined to strike out 13 Chukars.
"It feels great," Valentin said. "We have been playing good baseball, just sometimes we can not finish the game up. We're not making it to the playoffs, but at least the team did a pretty good job. We're pretty sure we deserve to be there but we didn't play good enough. Everyone's just happy (tonight), just trying to keep winning, trying to get to the last game and finish off the season real good."
Ogden schooled the 5,546 fans in attendance on Ogden School Foundation night in the art of smallball in the first inning, collecting three runs on five singles that would prove to be more than the Raptors' pitching staff needed.
Hall of Fame manager Tommy Lasorda was also in attendance. Lasorda managed the Ogden Dodgers to three consecutive Pioneer League titles early in his career and won two World Series with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The second came in 1988, the year current Ogden Raptors reliever Jordan Hershiser was born and his father Orel Hershiser won the Cy Young Award, the National League Championship series MVP and the World Series MVP.
"It's pretty awesome to have a guy like Tommy here, being around practice, helping, giving tips," Valentin said. "That's why I think the Dodgers are the best organization in major league baseball. We have too much talent, we have a lot of people, not players or coaches, people like him always around, helping us, giving us tips, telling us how to play baseball. I think that's one of the best things we have."
Valentin first met Lasorda in 2005 when his father Jose Valentin, played for the Dodgers.
Friday, Ogden starter Victor Araujo (5-3) was in command through six shutout innings, striking out eight while scattering six hits and walking one in the victory. Araujo began the game second in the league in strikeouts and now has 75 Ks. He stranded runners at second and third inning in the fourth and left two Chukars on the pond in the sixth.
Raptors reliever James Baune allowed one run on two hits over two innings and Jose Diaz struck out the side in the ninth to end it.
Jake Junis (2-6) took the loss for Idaho Falls.
The Raptors, already eliminated from the Pioneer League playoffs, begin their final series of the season tonight at 7 p.m. at Lindquist Field, welcoming Grand Junction for a two-game set.
Even without playoffs to look forward to, Valentin said there's work to be done.
"It's everything about focus and being mentally tough," he said. "There's two games left to go back home, most of the guys are thinking about going home but the most important thing is do not let your guard down.
"Just keep playing hard baseball, like we played the first game, and just try to finish up."

ITRI Introduces iAT Technology(TM) -- See-Through Display and Air-Touch Input Technology Requires No Physical Device for Touch Input
Users See and Interact With Data, Images, and Devices "Floating in Air"
Tweet Send to a FriendHSINCHU, TAIWAN -- (Marketwired) -- 10/23/13 -- ITRI (Industrial Technology Research Institute), Taiwan's largest and one of the world's leading high-tech research and development institutions, today introduced iAT (i-Air Touch) Technology, one of the first see-through display and air-touch input technologies for computers, wearable computers and mobile devices allowing a user's hand to be free of any physical device. Wearing a pair of special eyeglasses, users can see and interact with a virtual input device (e.g. touchscreen or mouse) floating in air, while still seeing and interacting with the real world around them. i-Air Touch is available now for licensing by computing, consumer electronic and mobile companies. ITRI will receive a 2013 R&D 100 Award in November for this breakthrough technology.
Instead of controlling wearable computers with head movements, voice commands, touching the devices or entering commands into the app on a smartphone, i-Air Touch users can type on the "floating" keypad, keyboard, mouse or touch panel insuring flexibility, accuracy, privacy and convenience on-the-go.
i-Air Touch includes three components: see-through eyeglasses, an internal camera technology, and an air-touch interface. The see-through eyeglasses display data, images, and input devices to both eyes or only to one eye. The camera scans for and records input, and the air-touch interface relays input from the camera to the eyeglasses displaying a response to the user. The camera technology can be integrated with an existing camera in a wearable computer, and the air-touch interface can be integrated into the firmware and software system of a wearable computer, making it cost-effective to incorporate i-Air Touch in existing wearable-computer designs.
The DDDR (defined distance with defined range) camera is the key functional component of i-Air Touch and conserves battery power, a major issue facing manufacturers of many wearable computers.
i-Air Touch commercialization is currently underway and available for transfer to companies worldwide. ITRI holds eight international patents on i-Air Touch technology (Taiwan, China, and the U.S). Companies interested in licensing i-Air Touch should contact ITRI at 1-408-428-9988, email@example.com or visit https://www.itri.org.tw/eng/.

Create a program customized to your age, gender, and skill level
For example, an elite hockey player might create up to 9 workouts per week, but a youth hockey player might only have time for 2-3 workouts per week. All members also get to choose dryland training for in-season and off-season so that they can get the most out of the training.
Use techniques that will rapidly improve your on-ice performance
Players are almost never on the ice for a full 15 minutes. And even while on the ice, they are not necessarily moving their legs the entire time, and may not have the puck on their stick for longer than a minute or two. HockeyOT's dryland training program is designed to mimic these same patterns you use while playing in a game. By recreating these movement patterns in your off-ice workouts, you can rapidly improve your on-ice performance in as little as 2 training sessions per week.
Monitor your progress with benchmarks
Your progress is benchmarked throughout the dryland hockey training program, allowing you to see measurable results in Speed, Endurance, Agility and Power.
Some of the key identifiers for hockey-specific benchmarks are:
Lateral stride hop | Faster first 3 steps/acceleration | |
Medball side throw | Shot power | |
Medball chest throw | Upper body strength | |
Lateral agility test | Change of direction | |
Barbell deadlift | Lower body strength | |
30 meter sprint | Skating speed | |
1-mile run | Endurance |
By defining these exercises as athletic standards, Hockey Online Training can provide measurable results which indicate improvement over time. Feeling better is one thing; seeing measured feedback indicating exactly how much you have improved is another. What's more, based on the data Chad Moreau has collected from years of training athletes from all levels of play, you can see how you measure up physically to other athletes of a similar age and/or experience level.

Between The Buried And Me (self.progmetal)
submitted 1 year ago by thornska
Guys, we've got an issue here.
I mean, what's the fuck with that band ?! How is it possible that I discovered this band only a few weeks ago (thanks to this subreddit btw) ?! How is it possible for a band to be that much awesome ?! The last two times I whatthefucked that much was when I discovered Dream Theater and Cynic, and that was more than a whole fucking DECADE ago ! Even when I discovered Pain Of Salvation and Porcupine Tree, I did not whatthefuck that much !
I first listened to The Parallax II: Future Sequence, and I was like "Damnit, this album kicks my ass like it deserved to be kicked, but hey, lots of bands have one piece of jewelry and their other albums are ok at best. Let's give them a try anyway". Then I listened to The Great Misdirect and to Colors... And then bricks were shat.
How such awesome composition, virtuosity and influences can even fit on a humble CD ?! I'm now facing a dilema: as far as I know, Between The Buried And Me still have three albums that I haven't listened to yet : Alaska, The Silent Circus and Between The Buried And Me. What if these albums are also awesome ?! I would then have listened to everything they had to offer me ! How can you live like this ?!
I mean, fuck !
[–][deleted] 7 points8 points9 points 1 year ago
Just because you've listened to a BTBAM album doesn't mean you've heard all it has to offer. Listen fifty more times. And then fifty more. And another. Discover all the subtle nuances, the recurring themes, the related themes, the instrumentation in the back of the soundstage, the sympathetic tones, etc, etc. The only BTBAM question that evades me is why the fuck Shevanel Take 2 exists.
Also, brace for downvotes. A lot of this sub is burnt out on hearing about BTBAM.
[–]starshinepony 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
Hey! I really like (Shevanal, Take 2).
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
That song loses me as soon as they mention tears on a pillow. I'm 6'4" with a big ass beard. I don't listen to metal to feel feelings, because I don't feel feelings. I listen to metal for awesome manliness.
[–]Heads-Will-RollDigital Veil 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
Shevanel is a homeless dude they met one time. Just spend the song imagining how dirty his beard is.
[–]thornska[S] 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
Hundreds and counting.
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
IMO, Their first self titled album is their best. It's not the most polished, but its the one i like the most.
Alaska as a close second.
[–]ohgodwhydidIjoin 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
For me it goes
The Great Misdirect
Alaska (these two are almost tied)
Parallax I
I can't really say where Parallax II or their other albums rank for me. I need to give them at least another 50 listens before deciding (I don't even want to think of how many hours I've put into Colors).
My point here was to say how good Alaska is. I've kind of failed.
The song Alaska, dealing with insomnia, is fucking brilliant. Selkies an Endless Obsession is like being really high and flying through some mountains with a hot magical fairy woman guiding you. Backwards Marathon is like being a plant.
Sorry if none of this makes sense :(
I'm a little high
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Did you even listen to the first album?!?!
[–]ohgodwhydidIjoin 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
I actually haven't :P
I don't listen to Silent Circus that much either. Actually, I don't even have their first album on itunes. That's probably why I haven't listened to it.
It's great. Highly recommended. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBBaFwd0z8s
downvoted for highly excessive BTBAM jerking and wankery.

Violent volcanic eruptions, catastrophic earthquakes, devastating tsunami and climate change are all evidence of the dynamic character of the Earth and its component parts, the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere and geosphere. To understand how the Earth System works, the ideas and principles of Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics are integrated in the exciting and stimulating studies which make up Earth Sciences.
Geoscientists may work anywhere on Earth – and also with material from the Moon, and with planetary images. They may travel widely, working in many different countries and climates: on an exploration drilling rig in the cold of Alaska or the heat of the Persian Gulf, in Antarctica, the Himalayas, at sea drilling the ocean floor, in arid environments seeking groundwater, and in the many naturally hazardous volcanic and tectonically active regions of the world. Geoscientists work in the field, laboratory and office gathering rock samples and making measurements, applying many and varied analytical techniques, interpreting results, computer modelling, presenting reports, and contributing to development of policy on the Earth's vital resources and life-sustaining environment. Our graduates pursue varied careers paths.
Earth Scientists make many beneficial contributions to society, by:
- understanding climate change and its dramatic consequences
- monitoring geohazards and predicting volcanic eruptions and earthquakes
- discovering and managing the world's resources: hydrocarbons and precious minerals
- managing groundwater and ensuring pollution-free water supplies
- planning for environmental sustainability e.g. carbon capture and storage
- investigating the strength of bedrock, to support roads, dams, power stations and tunnels
UCL Earth Sciences carries out world-leading research in mineral, rock and ice physics, climate change impacts in the polar regions, geological archives of past global climate changes, palaeontology, and geo-environmental hazards – all used in the development of our undergraduate programmes. World-class facilities are accessible to our undergraduate students; these include NASA's European Regional Planetary Image Facility (hosted by the Department).

the big foot range
The Big Foot range of products are the premium products in the Black Ravioli range. They have been have been available in the UK since early 2010.
The Big Foot units are available in one, two or three pad configuration and incorporate a corian plate to further optimise the operation of the groups of pads.
The Big Foot range has now been fully upgraded to second generation specification. It should be noted that with these improvements The Big Foot range is now handed and should always be installed with the Black Ravioli logo the correct way up to ensure they are in the right orientation.
Typical use will be under the main source, control and power equipment and suggested options are presented in the Black Ravioli set-up guide.
The Big Pads are once again pre loaded for better efficiency and have nominally 2.5mm of additional compression available to allow for settling of the equipment. The additional settling range makes them most suitable for use where the weight distribution of a piece of equipment is biased. For this reason, the two and three pads options are recommended with large power amplifiers of both valve and solid state orientation.
The nominal dimensions of the Big Foot 1 are 52mm x 52mm x 30mm (27.5mm fully compressed).
The nominal dimensions of the Big Foot 2 are 52mm x 110mm x 30mm (27.5mm fully compressed).
The nominal dimensions of the Big Foot 3 are 52mm x 168mm x 30mm (27.5mm fully compressed).
