Two crews attended the incident at the McDonald's restaurant in Malvern Retail Park, Townsend Way at about 4.25pm to deal with a fire behind a deep fat fryer.
Staff had evacuated all customers before the crews arrived and two firefighters wearing breathing apparatus extinguished the fire using one hose reel and a dry powder extinguisher.
No injuries were reported and the crews remain at the scene.

The Time Has Come: Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) !
Breaking News: Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) Introduced Tomorrow in House, Senate
The Politico reports that tomorrow both houses of Congress will introduce the Employee Free Choice Act, which allows workers to decide for themselves how they'd like to form a union -- rather than management making that decision for them. It's critical legislation that would restore workers' freedom to form unions and bargain for better wages, health care, and working conditions.
Employee Free Choice Act: "Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country"

According to NFL.com
Minnesota Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway has been picked for his first Pro Bowl.
Greenway, who had a personal-best 154 tackles this season, will replace injured Chicago Bears linebacker Lance Briggs on the NFC roster. The Vikings made the announcement Monday.
"I'm excited to be going to the Pro Bowl, representing the Vikings and to be there with Jared (Allen)," Greenway said, according to the team's official website. "I couldn't have done it without a lot of help and support from my teammates and coaches. Even though we didn't have the kind of season we wanted to as far as winning games, we have guys who are proud and want to get back to the top. I'm honored to be thought of as a Pro Bowler and will make the most of the opportunity."
Greenway has led the Vikings in tackles for four consecutive seasons.
Allen is a starter in the Pro Bowl, which will be played Jan. 29 in Honolulu.

OL Hansen out up to 3 weeks; S Johnson "Possible" for Saturday
"Left guard Braden Hansen underwent an MRI Sunday and the good news is his did not tear an ACL. He is expected to be out 1-3 weeks, Mendenhall said, and is listed as doubtful for this week. Marco Thorson is expected to play in Hansen's spot. To compensate for the lack of depth, defensive lineman Jordan Richardson will move from D-line to O-line starting today. "We need him," Mendenhall said. The move was mentioned to Richardson when the team returned home from New Orleans late Saturday night and Richardson's response, according to Mendenhall was that he'd play "wherever you need me." As for safety Scott Johnson, who sustained another concussion on Saturday, Mendenhall said the contact was made with his jaw, not his head, which is more good news. The protocol for Johnson to return will be more stringent because this is his second concussion in about three weeks. Johnson is listed as "possible" for Saturday. If he can't go, the Cougars will go with either sophomore Shiloah Te'o or true freshman Craig Bills." - Jeff Call, Deseret News

Which Country Star Should Replace Steven Tyler on 'American Idol'? – Readers Poll
For 11 seasons, 'American Idol' has ignored country music when it comes to the judges panel. But with Steven Tyler announcing his 'Idol' departure on Thursday, it's time to make things right. Stars like Blake Shelton and Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland have proven that Nashville has artists capable of shining on a nationally-televised stage. Which country artist do you think would be the perfect fit to replace Tyler on 'American Idol?'

Kellie Pickler on Luke Bryan National Anthem Controversy: 'So What!'
Kellie Pickler was in the stands watching Luke Bryan sing the National Anthem on Tuesday night, but she wasn't aware of the 'Drunk on You' singer's use of "key words" which helped him get through the song. She says she understands what Bryan was going through at the All-Star Game, and the anxiety that comes with singing in front of millions of television viewers, and can't understand the criticism.
Luke Bryan's National Anthem Performance – Readers Poll
Luke Bryan and Kellie Pickler did country music proud last night, singing the National Anthem and 'God Bless America' at the MLB All-Star Game in Kansas City, Mo. It's difficult to argue each singer's performances were anything but spectacular, but some are wondering if the 'Drunk on You' singer might have had some help. What do you think Bryan was peeking at while he sang?
Zac Brown Band, 'Uncaged' – Album Review
On paper, 'Uncaged' should not work as an album, let alone a country music album. The new release from Zac Brown Band redefines "something for everybody." Country, reggae, bedroom R&B… Brown and his ever-growing motley crew stretch the Nashville sound further than any other artist. If they weren't so talented, this project would fall apart long before the title-track.
Top 40 Country Songs – July 2012
Only two songs from the Top 5 of last month's Top 40 Country Songs list made the July 2012 version. That goes to show how quickly a new song can gain and lose favor with country music fans. The monthly list is compiled using chart and sales data, as well as reader feedback and staff opinions.
Lonestar, 'The Countdown' – Song Review
Lonestar celebrate 20 years of music in 2012. Of course, Richie McDonald stepped aside to pursue a solo career for four of those years, but the accomplishment is still noteworthy. Their new song 'The Countdown' reminds fans how how sharp the group is musically and how tight they are vocally.
Love and Theft Go Squirrel Hunting in New 'Love and Theft TV' Episode
Do Stephen Barker Liles and Eric Grunderson really hunt squirrel in their spare time? Have they really killed 40 or 50 in a single day? Does Gunderson really use a Medieval sword to clear brush? The duo begin to answer some of these pressing questions in a new episode of 'Love and Theft TV,' premiering exclusively on Taste of Country.
Carrie Underwood vs. Hunter Hayes – The Showdown
Friday night's Showdown between Carrie Underwood and Little Big Town was the most voted on yet, with 'Blown Away' edging 'Pontoon' by 13 percentage points. That's two wins in a row for the title-track on Underwood's new album. The dark and stormy cut is clearing a path to the Showdown Hall of Fame, but future tourmate Hunter Hayes' 'Wanted' is threatening to contain her fury today and tonight on Taste of Country Nights.
Carrie Underwood vs. Little Big Town – The Showdown
There is a new Showdown champion! The voting went down to the final minutes last night on Taste of Country Nights radio, with Carrie Underwood's 'Blown Away' topping 'Over' by Blake Shelton. Early online voting proved to be critical to Underwood's success, as she was able to hold off rallying Shelton fans. The dark and stormy title-track from the normally sweet and innocent singer's new album will now face a song by one of Nashville's hottest foursomes.

Editor's Note: I asked Jeanna to write up her observations from training camp. What follows is awesome.
Like so many who waited anxiously for the NFL lockout to end, I find myself overwhelmed with excitement about a) the end of the lockout, b) the advent of training camp, and c) the fact that the actual season is nearly upon us. Following the Falcons exceptional regular season performance, as well as the less than exceptional post-season performance in 2010, I have been anxious and eager to see how our team would gel on the field following a simultaneously maddening and exciting offseason.
I am fortunate to live approximately ten minutes from the Falcons training facility in Flowery Branch, GA, affectionately known as The Branch, and try to spend some time at training camp each year. For a fan, there's no experience quite like it. It's a wonderful opportunity to watch the team develop on the field, assess players' skill levels, and predict potential breakout players for the coming season. Following each practice, a handful of players are selected to sign autographs, so the opportunity exists to interact more closely with individual players (and even Arthur Blank) as they sign merchandise for fans.
Each training camp practice is different, although the general structure is similar from day to day. The coaching staff moves the players through position-specific drills, and "install" drills that the players walk through, in order to become familiar with the plays and how the offense or defense looks from the correct side or the other side of the ball. The offense and defense line up against each other for 9 on 7 drills, and toward the end of practice, they run through full team drills. Photography by fans is permitted, but obviously, any sort of videography is strictly prohibited. Do not even consider trying to pull a Bill Belichick, because you do not want to tangle with the security guys at The Branch.
I've noticed no discernible differences in the team performance at training camp this year compared to previous years. The level of football readiness this year appears to be very similar to previous years. There are some exciting competitions for starting spots playing out during camp, and some new additions who are ready to contribute. After the jump, we'll explore position-specific performances in training camp.
Matt Ryan has looked focused, steady and prepared in camp thus far. His passing looks more accurate than it did during last year's training camp. I believe the player-organized workouts this spring benefited Ryan greatly. Chris Redman continues to look like a solid backup, and it appears that there may be a competition between John Parker Wilson, number three on the depth chart for the past couple of seasons, and undrafted free agent from the University of Louisville, Adam Froman, for that number three spot.
Wide Receiver:
In camp, Roddy White's performance is consistent with his reputation as one of the best wide receivers in the league. White goes hard on every drill, and in between drills, his personality lights up the field. He looks great so far this training camp. White is clearly holding himself to a high standard of performance, and is focused and serious about being ready for this season.
Julio Jones is impressive. Based on his performance thus far in camp, this guy is worth everything we traded to get him via the draft plus every penny we will pay him. Currently, he is playing with a bone bruise in his foot, and he has not missed a step. He catches every ball that comes even remotely near him, often in amazing and dramatic ways, and he's showing some great blocking potential, which is not surprising given his size. Jones is a big, physical receiver. This kid is 6'4" with considerable athletic ability and work ethic. He is a phenomenal addition to the Falcons offense.
Harry Douglas appears to be back to full speed following an ACL tear in 2009, and seems to be emerging as a solid number three receiver. His camp performance has been consistently impressive. With White, Jones, a healthy Douglas, and Kerry Meier and Eric Weems providing some depth, I expect that the Falcons offense that will take the field this season will make all of our dreams of an explosive offense come true.
Running Backs
Everyone is aware by now that Michael Turner had super-secret surgery early in the offseason, and he appears to be recovered. He does not seem to be impeded at all.
Antone Smith and Gartrell Johnson have been impressive on the practice field thus far. Smith in particular seems to be having a standout camp experience, and he has really made his presence on the practice field known. Jacquizz Rodgers is proving to be an excellent addition to our roster. He is speedy and agile and will develop into a true change of pace back.
My thirteen-year-old daughter would never forgive me if I didn't acknowledge my favorite fullback and yours, Ovie Mughelli, who showed up for camp in great shape and ready to go. With Jason Snelling's currently uncertain future with the franchise, it is encouraging to see that we have depth at the position.
Tight End:
Tony Gonzalez and Justin Peelle both look solid. During practice, Gonzalez moves like he is ten years younger than he is. When he's on the field, it's easy to remember that he is the best to ever play this position. Peelle has had some beautiful receptions during camp. The Falcons did release TE Robbie Agnone, but have Michael Palmer, Marquez Branson, and newly acquired undrafted free agent Ryan Winterswyk, who put up decent numbers at Boise State…as a defensive lineman. I am interested to see how he develops as a tight end.
Offensive Line:
One thing many people don't realize is that free agents, regardless of restricted or unrestricted status, are not allowed to practice until August 4. With notable FAs Tyson Clabo and Justin Blalock re-signing with the Falcons, there will be a battle for Harvey Dahl's spot following his departure for the Rams. This training camp will feature competition, most likely between Garrett Reynolds and Mike Johnson, to take over as Dahl's replacement.
It is difficult to get a feel for our offensive line with Clabo and Blalock not yet practicing, and even the practices in pads not running at full speed, but locking up Clabo and Blalock was a real accomplishment for the Falcons, and I have every expectation that our offensive line will continue to be effective and dependable.
Defensive Line:
Due to the aforementioned weird free agency rules, Ray Edwards has yet to suit up and take the practice field with the Falcons, but I do expect John Abraham and Edwards to wreak some havoc against opposing offenses this year. Also notable: our 2009 first round draft pick, Peria Jerry, is healthy and ready to go, and Corey Peters, who started for Jerry throughout 2010, is ready to compete with Jerry to start in 2011. Add to the mix a solid (and hopefully not distracted by his reality-star girlfriend) Kroy Biermann, veteran players Lawrence Sidbury, Chauncey Davis, and new kid on the block Cliff Matthews, and you're looking at a defensive line with a lot of potential.
Our linebackers appear ready to go. In full team drills, these guys are putting in serious work. With veterans Curtis Lofton and Coy Wire, second year guy Sean Weatherspoon, and rookie Akeem Dent all looking ready to go, our linebacker corps will be solid this year. Also, knowing that we'll have Stephen Nicholas and Mike Peterson both back for the 2011 season gives the Falcons a lot of depth and options at this position.
Defensive Backs:
Let's start with one of the questions I've been asked most consistently about training camp, although admittedly not from readers of The Falcoholic: How does Brent Grimes look?
The answer: Grimes isn't at camp. Grimes is a restricted free agent, and remember those weird free agency rules? He isn't allowed to practice until August 4. I fully expect Grimes to report to camp on Thursday, and he has been putting in considerable work this offseason, so it's reasonable to expect him to be fully prepared.
Dunta Robinson is at camp and working hard each day. Robinson appeared to struggle at times last year, and many believed it was due to a difficulty in mastering Atlanta's defensive scheme. He appears to be very focused and making strides in training camp.
The performances from Dominique Franks and Chris Owens have been exciting and fascinating to watch. Both of these guys are going all out to win a starting nickel position, and both have been impressive. I have been particularly impressed with Franks, who has had a few great interceptions, one of which, during Monday's practice, would have been returned for a touchdown in a game scenario. Based on what we have seen at camp so far this season, expect our secondary to be much improved.
If you are a Falcons fan who lives reasonably close to the greater Atlanta metro area, I highly recommend that you make some time to visit the Atlanta Falcons training camp. If you cannot make it to camp, Jay Adams and Daniel Cox from the Falcons, and D. Orlando Ledbetter from the Atlanta Journal Constitution are providing in depth updates from camp every day.

1. It encourages the firefighter to stare down at the imager, relying on the imager solely as his means of entering and exiting the building. This is a very bad practice.
2. Scanning in a non-fire environment is counter-intuitive. Pointing straight ahead makes the imager aim up at the sky or ceiling.
3. An imager with a display facing skyward is almost impossible to use outside in daylight...the reflection from the sun is overwhelming on the display.
The rotating handle addresses some of that, but as firefighters should know, hinges are generally weak points and more prone to breaking. The single-body imagers are far more popular for that reason.

Beat to the punch. Out of all the cameras I've used for day to day ops, the T3/T4 series are hard to beat.I DON'T crawl looking at the camera.I take a "snapshot"of the room at three levels,pick a reference point,move to it and do it again.And again.And again. Maintaining reference to the wall so if the camera fails,I still know where I am and where the exits are. T.C.

That is the reason we chose Scott SCBA because of the non swivel back frame plus it is T-69 aluminum and not plastic.

MT. VERNON – Organizers hope this year's Harmony Roses Chorus annual show will appeal to a broad spectrum of musical tastes.
Not only will the event feature the type of music the chorus group is known for – barbershop and a cappella – but it will also include a Beatles tribute band.
"I think we have a variety of performances for everyone," said Cheryl Webb, events co-chairperson for the Harmony Roses Chorus of Sweet Adelines International, the sponsor of the show. "We try to have music that everyone enjoys. We also want to promote the appreciation of a cappella and barbershop music."
This year's fifth annual show is entitled "Peace and Harmony at Crescent Lake Farms." It will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. Sept. 14 at Crescent Lake Farms, 17031 N. Casey Pike Lane in Mt. Vernon. To reach the site, travel west on Richview Road and then watch for the signs.
The show's featured performance will be by the Beatle Brothers, a local Beatles tribute band. Its members are Del Herbert, Brent Hahn, Scotty Qualk, and Jake Schofield.
Also performing are the Harmony Roses Chorus, the No Doubt Quartet, and others. The event will also feature a silent auction with numerous donated items and a bake sale.
To coincide with the Beatles theme, the Harmony Roses will perform 1960s-era songs at the show, including "Let it Be," "I Will Follow Him," "Get Happy," and others.
Rose Straeter, choral director of the Harmony Roses, said using popular music is a "little bit different" for her group. Even so, the songs will still be presented in the group's signature barbershop style, featuring "tight, close-knit harmonies," Straeter said
"That makes it really fun, not only to sing but to listen to as well," Straeter said. "So we're excited."

And when you get in there and I get in there, I'm going to stomp you this time same as I did last time. You can complain about your rib. I'm sure your rib did hurt; your rib is inside of a coward. That's the problem your rib's got, it's got the same problem your hands and feet have -- they're attached to you, dummy. I'm going to be attached to you, too, for 25 minutes or until you give up."

Poll Dancing Weenies
I am not one to pay attention to polls. I find very few of them to be useful, and feel that most of them are out to sway public opinion in someone's favor. Case in point: the fracas between Daily Kos founder Markos *spit* Moulitsas and Research 2000, a polling firm. And this poll is no different:
At first glance, this seems innocuous, until you peruse the rest of the polls and find that this is the only one they closed off to voting. The other polls are still open to vote. Then you have this:
Only 63 percent of those Americans surveyed think that our sitting president is serving in the office legally. Is it the success of the "right wing conspiracy" or failure of our academic instruction in civics and government that would lead 24 percent of respondents into believing Barack Obama was born in another country, and another 13 percent to be apparently unaware that the U.S. Constitution requires that the president of the United States be a "natural born citizen"?
How about option C: failure of our civics lessons such that 63 percent of the population is clueless to the meaning of "natural born citizen", or option D: an attempt by the "left wing media" to redefine "natural born citizen" and push their agenda?
See? I can play the game, too.
Bring on the comments
63% civics illiteracy is kinda low…
"A random, representative sample of 2,508 American adults was surveyed to allow comparisons between those with and without college degrees. Respondents were asked thirty-three questions… many drawn from U.S. naturalization exams and U.S. Department of Education high school progress tests (NAEP). Seventy-one percent of Americans failed this basic test. The overall average score was only 49%, with college graduates also failing at 57%."

Assembly elections reform plans
The Welsh Secretary, Cheryl Gillan, has published a consultation on whether the Assembly should have fewer constituency AMs and more elected from regional lists.
First Minister urges David Cameron to 'remain true to his word' on Assembly vote system changesby Adrian Masters
The First Minister has responded to the statement by Number 10 I told you about earlier and urged David Cameron to 'stay true to his word.' Here's what Carwyn Jones had to say:
This is not what I was told by the Prime Minister. I have made itrepeatedly clear that changing the electoral system for the Assembly,without the consent of the people of Wales, is wrong and dangerous. Italso sends an unfortunate message to the people of Scotland ahead of theindependence referendum.I call on the Prime Minister to remain true to his word and stateclearly that changes in the way AMs are elected, will not be forced onthe people of Wales without their consent.
Number 10 brushes off First Minister's 'assurances' claimby Adrian Masters
I told you earlier that the First Minister had repeated his claim that the Prime Minister had twice given him assurances that there would be no change to the electoral system in Wales without the agreement of the Assembly.
I've been in touch with Number 10 to get its view of what the PM did or didn't say to the FM. Here's the response from a spokesperson:
We have always been clear that we would consult on any changes to electoral arrangements for the Welsh Assembly which is what we are doing through this Green Paper
Wales Office minister hits back at First Minister's criticism of Assembly voting system reviewby Adrian Masters
I've just had this response to Carwyn Jones' earlier attack on UK Government plans to review Assembly electoral arrangements from Wales Office minister David Jones, who was at the same joint ministerial meeting:
This is a Green Paper, a consultation document and if the First Minister wants to feed into that consultation he is, of course, welcome to do so. There is nothing in this process other than that which is entirely in the devolution settlement. (Responsibility for ) electoral arrangements remain here at Westminster; it would be incoherent not to have a review given the changes planned to parliamentary boundaries.
Plans to change Assembly voting system 'fundamentally undemocratic' - First Minister tells Nick Clegg
The First Minister says he's told the Deputy Prime Minister that plans by the Welsh Secretary to review the way AMs are elected are 'fundamentally undemocratic.' Carwyn Jones raised his opposition to Cheryl Gillan's Green Paper on electoral reform at a meeting chaired by Nick Clegg earlier.
– Carwyn Jones AM, First Minister
I made sure that it was seen as a very serious issue. The Deputy Prime Minister understood it was a very serious issue and we'll explore this further.
When she launched the review earlier this week, the Welsh Secretary dismissed calls for decision-making power over electoral systems in Wales to be devolved. She said that in two years there had been no request for any such transfer. Carwyn Jones responded:
– Carwyn Jones AM, First Minister
We don't want to see any change. Nobody has a mandate for change. Nobody thought we'd have a Green Paper such as this in this age of devolution, seeking to impose change on the people of Wales without their consent. We thought we were beyond those days and the Prime Minister has given me assurances there'd be no change without the agreement of the Assembly.
Welsh Tories will campaign for status quo on electoral boundaries.
Yesterday Welsh Secretary Cheryl Gillan opened public consultation into how Assembly electoral boundaries might be drawn in future. The public have 12 weeks to put forward their views on the issue. Andrew RT Davies speaking, at his party's weekly press conference this morning, said this;
– Andrew RT Davies , leader Conservative Group at the National Assembly
I am in favour of the status quo and in favour of de-coupling. I will be feeding this into the consultation process over the next few weeks. The current 40:20 model has serve the Assembly well
By de-coupling, he meant that Assembly and Westminster constituencies would not have the same boundaries. Mr Davies added that he was against Westminster and Assembly Elections being held on the same date. He said that he thought it was important to keep the two separate to avoid confusion.
'No mandate' to change how AMs are elected
The Shadow Welsh Secretary Owen Smith says the Westminster government has no mandate to change the Assembly voting system, as nothing has been proposed in an election manifesto. He also claims that the proposals are a distraction from the real challenge of a lack of jobs and economic growth.
– Shadow Welsh Secretary Owen Smith MP
It is therefore disappointing that Cheryl Gillan should choose to focus her efforts on imposing constitutional change especially when the motivation for that change appears to be narrow party political interest. Welsh Labour believes there are far more important challenges in the months and years ahead than this interference in the voting system to the National Assembly for Wales. The Tories are showing they have the wrong priorities at the wrong time. However, we will of course seek to engage constructively with the consultation process and make a full submission."
Welsh Government response to the Green paper on Electoral reform.
The First Minister of Wales, Carwyn Jones, had this to say about plans contained in the Wales Office Green paper on Assembly Election reform.
There is no mandate for this. The electoral system for the Assembly is a matter for the people of Wales and no one else.
The Prime Minister has assured me there would be no change to future electoral arrangements without the agreement of the Assembly.
Proposed system 'less complicated'
Cheryl Gillan, the Welsh Secretary, talks about the proposed changes to the way the Welsh Assembly is elected.
Lib Dems welcome shake-up for Assembly
The Welsh Liberal Democrats have backed the decision by the Welsh Secretary Cheryl Gillan to press ahead with a consultation on changing how the National Assembly is elected.
– Welsh Liberal Democrat Leader Kirsty Williams AM
We broadly welcome the UK Government's proposals to protect, and possibly increase, the proportional element and fairness of our voting system. Welsh Liberal Democrats have long argued for a fully proportionate system of voting but given the current political situation we believe that any step to make our National Assembly more democratic and accountable is welcome. The best interests of the people of Wales in any change to the voting system must be paramount and our response to this consultation will fully reflect this.
Election decisions should be made in Wales - Plaid
Plaid Cymru has issued its response to proposals to change the way Assembly Members are elected which have been published by the Welsh Secretary Cheryl Gillan today.
– Ieuan Wyn Jones AM, Plaid Cymru Constitutional Affairs Spokesperson
Whilst Plaid Cymru will be examining these proposals closely and look forward to being at the heart of debates about democracy in our country, we believe that decisions about elections in Wales should be made in Wales and not in London.
Plaid Cymru supports the Single Transferable Vote system to elect members to the National Assembly. That is the fairest way of keeping the constituency link and ensuring that there are fewer wasted votes.
Although Cheryl Gillan does not include STV as an option in her Green Paper it should be considered, and it will form part of our response.
We are open minded about whether the Assembly should have 4 or 5 year terms; what we should avoid is a clash of an Assembly and Westminster election in the same year.

I've still got a halfie from the half time show. That was some raunchy shit. I felt bad because I knew, somewhere, my Grandma was watching that remembering what it was like when football games had marching bands as the halftime show.
Best halftime show since when? Prince? I thought she killed it. DC appearance and everything.
Do you think the power outage helped San Fran as much as the commentators seemed to think? Whom do you think Ray Lewis will murder at Disney Land?

Use Your Blog to Rope Passionate Prospects Into Your Sales Funnel
Your Biggest Challenge will Be Attracting Prospects to Your Sales Funnel
In a previous article, Make More Money by Creating an Effective Sales Funnel for Your Business, I wrote about how developing a sales funnel can make it easier to capture sales. The purpose of the article was to make you think about whether or not your sales process is optimized for making you money. After all, I'm pretty sure you didn't go into business for yourself just for the fun of it but to generate a real income.
One of the most important and also most challenging aspects of the sales process is attracting people to your business. In fact, client attraction is the first part of the sales funnel. Without a steady stream of interested prospects, it is doubtful that you will be able to build the profitable business you want. Selling is a numbers game. The more prospects you talk to the higher the probability someone will make it to the end of the sales funnel.
Use a Blog to Feed the Top of Your Sales Funnel with Passionate Prospects
A blog is an effective way to grab the attention of your prospects and lead them through your sales funnel. First, it provides a space where people can get to know you and your company. It is difficult to know who to trust on the internet. Naturally, customers are going to be hesitant about giving their money to a person they've never met face to face. A blog will go a long way towards demonstrating that you are a real person who cares about them.
And speaking of demonstrations, a blog will also give potential customers a taste of the value you have to offer them. People love working with experts and a blog is the perfect platform for showing prospects you have the knowledge and experience they are looking for which will encourage them to take the first step in your sales funnel.
Other reasons why starting a blog is a great idea:
* A blog provides a central place for your leads to gather from all of your marketing efforts.
* It is easy to capture leads for your sales funnel from search engines by implementing SEO/SEM techniques which redirect traffic from Google, Yahoo, and Bing to your blog.
* You can then send that traffic to targeted sales pages designed to lead prospect through the sales funnel to the cash register ring.
* If they are not ready to buy, you can still capture their contact information with a mailing list.
Tips for Using the Blog to Get Customers to Go Where You Want in Your Sales Funnel
* Write informative articles packed with keywords designed to draw targeted traffic to your blog and down your sales funnel. Keywords are the words and phrases people in your target market are using to find information on a topic that is important to them. For example, someone looking for information about blogging may type in "how to start a blog" or "blogging tips". There are a number of keyword research tools on the market that will help you with this including Aaron Wall's SEO Keyword Tool.
* Direct your readers by ending each article with a call to action to take the next step in your sales funnel. After they finish reading your awesome article, your visitor may be left thinking, "Now what?" Don't leave them hanging. Point them to the next step in your sales funnel whether that is signing up for your mailing list, buying a product, or contacting you. Without this prompt, your reader may wander off without ever looking at what you have to offer.
* Have individual sales pages for your products on your website that describes what you are selling and why they should hand over their hard earned money to buy it. Make sure you include relevant keywords so you can get traffic from the search engines and into your sales funnel. Additionally, you will be able to refer to these pages in your social media marketing campaign.
* Integrate a mailing list sign up form so you can capture the contact information of your prospects. Put it in a conspicuous place, like the sidebar, where readers can see it. Even better, there are plugins you can use that will allow you to put a mailing list sign up form at the end of every article on your site. Talk about in your face.
* Encourage your readers to subscribe to your RSS so they can get continuous updates. Make sure your social media profiles links are in an obvious place so they can connect with you on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter.
* Make sure you have advertisements for your products in obvious places on your site. This includes putting graphics in your sidebar and even in the articles themselves. Be careful not to clog your site with too many ads that it overpowers your content. Strive for balance.
* Lastly, don't forget to have a personality. People connect to people, not companies. Be personable. Get involved in the communities of other blogs. The more people see you hanging out in their neck of the internet, the more comfortable they will be with you and the greater the chance they will enter your sales funnel and become a loyal customer.
Are you still not sure how a blog can inspire people to take a trip down your sales funnel? Give me a call. I'll be happy to spend an hour with you talking about the many ways you can build your brand, get it in front of your prospects, and make more money with a blog. Also, don't forget to sign up for your free copy of my social media checklist that will take you by the hand and walk you through what you need to do each day to build your fan base and fill your sales funnel.

There's a new airline in town and it's called Southern Airways Express. We're told you can expect daily service out of two (2) local airports.
Details are limited right now. We know you'll be able to fly to eight (8) cities in the south. You can fly non-stop to five (5) of them out of Memphis.
You can expect 10-passenger, turbo-jet-powered corporate planes with all-leather seating and complimentary iPads. There will be no parking fees, no security checkpoints, no baggage fees and possibly lower fares.
MORE: Southern Airways Express Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/southernairwaysexpress?ref=br_tf
So what's the catch? FOX13's Darrell Greene asked the airline's CEO Stan Little.
Little says, "if you look Darrell at the overhead there are so many of the legacy carriers. They've got contracts, labor contracts, that go back to the 50's and 60's that just keep getting larger and larger. Our pay rate for our pilots and our staff is in many cases higher than what the commuter airlines pay but we don't have all of the other overhead. We don't have gate rental fees and hundreds of thousands of dollars that go to maintain a huge international airport. So we are able to take those savings and pass it right across to the customer. I'll tell you something interesting, several people have said to me your service is so convenient, you're closer to my house, I don't have to go thru all these inconveniences, and you're going to fly me there directly, instead of making me connect at a major hub. Why aren't you charging more than what the legacy providers charging and the answer is we've already got such high priced air travel as we can stand. What I want to take is people currently getting in the car and driving 7, 8, or 9 hours to get where they want to go and I want to get them back in their car and into an airplane again."
Little says more details will be released on April 22.

~850mhz, 800sp's, 40 tmu's, 16 rops, 256-bit bus, ~1.35 Tflops.... sounds familiar to me. Other than the featureset of the 68xx cards, including dx 11, it's just about the same as the 4890, with an increased memory clock and lowered power consumption. The naming scheme seems to have less to do with what chip it's using, not to mention naming this the 6830 would be very misleading as it's just about as powerful as a 5830.
Gravity Apr 6, 11
I think it just means they are close to pushing the 6x series to the low end to let them shut the door on the 5x series.
Think if I was planning on selling a 5830 or 5770 the time would be now.

A Miami woman says Las Vegas Metro Police mistakenly used a picture of her while searching for another woman.
Earlier in the week, police named Tineesha Howard a person of interest in the case of a deadly shooting and car crash on the Strip. They distributed photographs of Howard asking for the public's help in their search. However, Miami sales rep Tasha Malek says some of the pictures are of her, not Howard, and she's weighing legal options to pay for the damage.
Shortly after Ammar Harris was arrested, police suggested distributing pictures of the wrong woman may not have been a mistake after all.
"Sometimes to find out who persons of interest are, we have to put photos out that are intended to drum up some talk so we can determine who we're actually dealing with," Lt. Ray Steiber said in a media conference.
Tasha Malek tells FOX5's Miami affiliate what it was like learning that her picture was linked to the case.
"Everybody was like, are you involved in this? My family was worried. It was really scary," she said. Malek, who once appeared on the reality show "Bad Girls Club," says she didn't expect her face to be in the spotlight again, at least not like this.
Malek's attorney Michael Grieco says she used to be friends with Ammar Harris when they both lived in Miami, but says she hasn't seen Harris in a year. He says the cost Malek is now paying for Metro's error is difficult to measure, but hopes winning a lawsuit will help.
"I don't know what they were thinking. It was reckless and it was irresponsible," Grieco said.
FOX5 legal analyst Bob Massi says the photograph confusion is, no doubt, embarrassing and damaging to Malek, but he questions if a lawsuit would be successful.
"Would a jury in Las Vegas be concerned about a woman in Miami that would want money from our county?" he said. He says it might be more realistic for Malek and her attorney to seek a public apology from Metro to help clear her name.
Grieco says he and Malek are still weighing their options regarding the lawsuit, but he hopes to make a decision early next week.

Dog Eats Master's Masters Tickets
April 4, 2012 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
SEATTLE, (UPI) — A Seattle man whose tickets to the Masters golf tournament were eaten by his dog said officials agreed to exchange the regurgitated scraps for new tickets.
Russ Berkman said he had four passes to Wednesday's practice round of the Masters and he was dismayed to arrive home recently to find paper scraps on the floor and the tickets missing, Seattlepi.com reported Wednesday.
Berkman told Sports Radio KJR, Seattle, he soon determined the tickets had been eaten by his Swiss mountain dog, Sierra. He said his girlfriend recommended he induce the canine to vomit and he did so safely by giving her hydrogen peroxide.
"Quite frankly, she didn't really have much else in her stomach but that, so it worked out," Berkman said. "I grabbed a spatula, put (the vomit) into a Ziploc baggie and brought it inside on my kitchen counter, and started, I guess, either a 'CSI' or surgical-type process to figure out what was going to be salvageable, if anything."
Berkman said he was able to mostly piece together the tickets and Masters officials agreed to reprint the tickets.

Thread: Vikes' team leaders.
Vikes' team leaders.
Who are those immovable forces of emotional and resiliant physical balance on the Vikings? in short, which players are the team leaders?
who gives it their all even when we are losing? i figure this is good question after such an uneven lose to the Smalls.
i'd vote for Kleinsasser if he were still able to play.
My defensive list:
Antoine Winfield--this guy never gives up.
Kevin Williams--he's a beast.
Matt Birk--steady even through injury
does the offense have a true unyeilding game after game leadership presence that never gives up even through injury and even when coming from behind? who does the vikes' O and D rely on when times are tough?
Vikes' team leaders.
Chavous is a team leader on D.
If I am not mistaken, I think he is a captain.
Williams and Birk for sure.
I think Roanell could be a leader in the near future.
Vikes' team leaders.
ok I see a major problem here as I have said a QB must foremost be a leader. So it apears some of you agree with me about Culpepper not being a leader.
PA I for one would not want to cross that woman in your pic she looks mean.can we clone Bud Grant?

Vikes' team leaders.
I'd have to disagree with you - I think Culpepper is a leader. As well as Birk, and I think Moss to some extent, at least behind the scenes. On D I would say Chavous and Winfield.
Isn't that woman the chick from "A Different World", that Cosby show spinoff?PPO Ambassador, Defender of the Purple Faith and Guardian of the Gates of Valhalla
Vikes' team leaders.
the chick is Jasmine Guy from a different world...ding ding ding... shochzilla--you're right? however, i am using her mug cause of a really cool show that plays on Showtime called "Dead Like Me"... Ms. guy plays a grim reaper who also has a job as a police woman... this just screams pitfoils... you all should check it out... Ms. Guy isn't the main character but she is in it... it is pretty funny.
alright, it would make sense for the QB to be the team leader and in a sense Culpooper is--by the sense that if he is having a bad game the rest of the offense follows suit and sucks as bad... he is a great player, but gets too flustered when the team is trying to catch up from a 2 score deficit. however, he is not the true leader all the time... he is more like a "domino" leader--when the machine is working, the team looks to him for guidance to keep the machine going (and the dominoes keep falling) but once the machine starts to stall, he doesn't get out the starter fluid (the dominoes run out) generally. the team doesn't have anyone to turn to then, i feel. that is why we get the sense that when things are going bad, the whole Offense seems to be confused.
however, we can all agree to Birk is a team leader.
and Moss is a leader now a days off the field... he is a good teacher for the young recievers now that he put his ego aside... however, he has a history of crying when he doesn't get enough looks... Him and Culpeeper are about the same in leadership ability i think...maybe culpepper has a smidge more...don't know?
well, that's what i think for all it's worth...

Vikes' team leaders.
Chavous is absolutely our best leader on defense. A few weeks ago they were asking one of the LBs, I think it was Claiborne about him, and he said that before each play Chavous will tell them "watch out for this play or that player, etc.". And it turns out Chavous is almost always right about it. The guy is a part time defensive coordinator.
On offense, I think it would have to be Moss. These last couple seasons it's become a lot more visible how his leadership is working for the team. Even when he's on the sidelines, he is either advising the coaches on possible plays, or cheering on the defense. But I agree about Culpepper and Birk being leaders too."Meet at the quarterback!" -Purple People Eaters

Quinton "Rampage" Jackson does a blog over on ign.com for the newest season of TUF and he recently addressed comments by participant Mike Dolce that Rampage and the other coaches may have over-trained the fighters:I read that Mike Dolce may have thought he was overtrained going into his fight. My bad on that. The thing about Mike Dolce being overtrained is that a lot of those guys came into the show training real hard because they were cast months in advance, and my dumb ass was not aware of that. My whole theory is to not to overtrain guys, just to have them do enough to be ready to fight. Mike Dolce said that he was at his breaking point, but I did not catch it or understand what he was talking about, so we kept pushing him. Had he been more specific or explicit in not wanting to go any further, I would have let up a lot. I made a lot of mistakes with him because I didn't have enough time to get to know him and what he'd respond to in training. I blame myself for that loss. Mike, if you readin' this, I'm sorry man. Pretty classy move of Rampage to not reflexively fall into a defensive posture and defend himself without taking Dolce's comments to heart. I'm not sure if Dolce's fight would have gone differently even if Mike was fresh, but Quinton's stock just went up in my book.
Update [2008-4-28 4:32:47 by robnashville]: UFC welterweight and Dolce teammate Chris Wilson is impressed(from the Underground):
Page... If you or anyone you know is reading this...
I am truly impressed, as are many others, by the way you handled this. As Mike's teammate I wondered how this situation would unfold after watching the episode on tv. I am thankful to see such a sincere and selfless person in a profession dominated by image and pomposity. Clearly, you took a step back and told it like it was. No drama no excuses. You could've said whatever you wanted to or not said anything at all and everyone would've believed you over Dolce (everyone but his teammates), especially since it was pretty much edited out of the show, but you laid it out clearly and most important of all, honestly.
Big ups bro.

A new master plan for White Oak would pave the way for mixed-use, transit-oriented development, with scientific research boosting economic growth in the area, planners say.
Community members had an opportunity to testify about a draft of the master plan at a public hearing last week before the Montgomery County Planning Board.
Local blogger Dan Reed writes on Just Up the Pike that "all but a handful of the 35 speakers" at the public hearing spoke in favor of the plan.
Reed pulled together some of his best tweets from the public hearing on his blog. Check out his full analysis at Just Up the Pike.
What's next? In June and July, the Planning Board will hold worksessions to discuss the plan, taking into account the public feedback received at the public hearing.
Now it's your turn: Tell us in the comments what you think of the plan. What are its strengths and weaknesses? Is there anything you'd like to change?

5 top tips on retail marketing at Christmas
The busy festive season is approaching, where people are out on the hunt for the perfect gifts for family and friends. Retailers, both online and traditional bricks-and-mortar, will be planning their Christmas promotions to reach out to consumers. To ensure you get the most out of your Christmas campaign, here is a list of our top 5 tips for retail marketing at Christmas.
Heighten Urgency
The limited weeks and days leading up to Christmas makes consumers shop with an increased urgency. Work this to your advantage by using tactics to motivate them into buying with you. Use call-to-actions such as "2 days left", "Order now for guaranteed delivery" and "1 day sale" to focus customers into making a purchasing decisions. For online retailers, consider adding a countdown clock to your website. This could be count down towards Christmas Day or your last delivery day. Use urgency in moderation as it can be seen as aggressive to consumers, but when done with genuine offers it can make a difference in securing customer purchases.
Save consumers time with valuable add-ons
Why not save your customers time and hassle by providing valuable service add-ons? Your customers will appreciate options such as free gift wrapping and gift card services. Offering these add-ons will differentiate yourself from other retailers and shows your commitment to high-quality customer service.
Create a Gift Guide
So a flustered customer comes into your store, not knowing where to start with buying gifts for their other half. They haven't put much thought into what present to buy because of work and other commitments. How do you calm them down and lift their spirits? A Christmas gift guide is a great way to showcase your store's offerings, as well as add value by helping to give people Christmas present ideas. Make sure you select items that have a broad appeal, ranging from good mix of small gifts or stocking fillers at low price points to more big-ticket items in your store. Also, splitting your gift guide into categories (i.e. for Him, Kids, for teens, etc.) or by price range also guides the customer's decisions in getting a gift.
Decorate your store – tastefully
As mentioned during this series of articles, decorating your store or adapting the design of your website during the Christmas period is a great way to get customers into the festive mood. It's also a great way for retailers to position their products such as the best sellers, high-margin items and gift ideas in a way to attract customers. Mix and match your merchandise from day to day to get the most out of your displays and think about complimentary items that sell well together.
Create a mobile app for your business to drive sales and build loyalty
Finally, mobile is a fast-growing platform for consumers when shopping. It is a fast and effective way for them to make purchases and search for products. Why not make use of it during Christmas by creating a campaign through mobile? Use Footfall123's toolbox, which has all the options you need to create an effective campaign to attract and retain customers. Your customers will be sure to hit your store if you give them great offers for their repeat visits. Your business will gain from getting a better understanding of their activities through measuring their activity through their purchases, and analyse how successful your Christmas campaign went.
Here are our tips on how to make the most of retail marketing at Christmas. I hope you enjoyed reading! Please feel free to share your own tips and ideas below.

Behavioral Prefaces for Bam Bam
Astronomers have observed
a giant arrow in space
possibly the biggest arrow ever
seen in the cosmos.
When NASA's ARROW
Space Observatory first spotted it
10 days ago, observers thought
it was a massive arrow
blowing up as a giant arrow
and expected it to fade
within hours or even minutes.
But the high-energy radiation
from the arrow has shown no sign
of dying down, which suggests
that astronomers may have caught
a giant arrow in the process
of being ripped to shreds
by a giant arrow.
The arrow is actually a series
of arrows, like a string
of arrows going off one
after another.
"We know of arrows
in our own galaxy
that can produce repeated
arrows, but they are thousands
to millions of times less powerful
than the arrows we are seeing,"
says Giant Arrow of the Space Arrow
Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland.
"This is truly extraordinary."
ARROW's Arrow Alert Telescope
detected the arrow on 28 March.
The Hubble Space Arrow
Telescope took an image of the arrow
on 4 April, which located the arrows
at the center of a giant arrow
3.8 billion light-years away.
On the same day, NASA's Arrow
X-ray Observatory took a picture
of the arrow by pointing at it
for 4 hours.
That image also showed
that the source of the arrows
was at the center of the arrow
imaged by Hubble.
The position of the arrow within
the arrow offered a clue that the arrows
might be associated with a giant arrow,
as nearly all arrows have a giant arrow
in the middle.
"We think that there is a dormant giant
arrow there that has accreted a lump
of arrows—probably a giant arrow
that has fallen into it," says astrophysicist
Giant Arrow, the lead scientist for ARROW
at NASA's Goddard Space Arrow Center
in Greenbelt, Maryland.
What could be going on is the following: A giant arrow
flitting too close to the giant arrow has been grabbed
by its gravitational pull. The arrow's gas has been falling
into the giant arrow, causing enormous amounts of arrows
to be released in the form of high-energy arrows shooting out
like a giant arrow.
Although this is not the first time astronomers have witnessed
a giant arrow being gobbled up by a giant arrow, the arrows
are putting out arrows far greater than previously seen.
One reason for the extreme arrows could be that the jet
of arrows shooting out of the giant arrow is pointing
straight at Earth.
Astronomers all over the world are working
round the clock to collect more data on the arrow,
and Hubble is snapping more images of the arrow.
"Some spectra have been taken; there's a lot more
work to be done on how the arrow changes
over time," Arrow says. "If it really is a giant arrow
being torn up, then we'd expect it to fade away
in the next few days. If it stays a giant arrow
for several weeks or a month, that would tell us
something different.
I'm not sure what that would be."

It was a perilous undertaking, to be sure, but the importance of the message inspired Larsen and Dupre throughout their preparations, and motivated them in the long weeks and months that followed. They partnered with Greenpeace to keep their expedition in the media and public eye, and to continue the mission of saving the polar bear long after reaching the North Pole.
There's a good reason why no one had ever managed a summer expedition to the North Pole before. The polar ice cap melts during the summer months, rendering the ice unstable, dangerous and riddled with large expanses of frigid open water. Areas of solid ice were often covered with a thigh-deep layer of slush, and areas of open water could be littered with huge blocks of ice that hinder passage. The Arctic is blanketed by thick fog for much of the time in summer, limiting sight to as little as 100 yards, making travel and navigation difficult. Temperatures of 10 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit combined with high humidity and damp conditions lend themselves to hypothermia, a debilitating and potentially deadly condition. And through it all, global warming is magnifying all of these conditions, making future journeys like this one even more perilous.
Much of Dupre and Larsen's time preparing for this journey was spent pioneering new technologies and techniques for handling such treacherous conditions. They have modified whitewater canoes so that the canoes can be towed on solid ice or paddled through open water. When faced with a mix of open water and broken ice, they used a technique Lonnie pioneered in Greenland that involves a gaff hook and brute strength to haul themselves and their canoes through the open water from ice floe to ice floe.
Their goal was to become the first-ever explorers to reach the North Pole during the summer, their reason for such an ambitious expedition was to show the world the impact of global warming and expose the plight of the polar bear. To reach their goal they had to slog their way across one of the most inhospitable environments on Earth, by paddling, skiing, climbing, and hauling toward the North Pole. They succeeded, reaching the North Pole on July 1. But the journey to bring attention to the changes the Arctic region is undergoing as a result of global warming, and the threat that disappearing Arctic sea ice presents to the polar bear, has only just begun.

Fake 'Arizona border raid' a lie that won't die
By Becky Bowers
Published on Tuesday, April 10th, 2012 at 4:30 p.m.
Chain emails never seem to die — they just get fresh dates.
A recent one that landed in our in-box said it detailed an Arizona border raid on March 2, 2012.
The problem? It closely resembles a message that Snopes debunked in 2010.
More than two dozen photos support the narrative: Tarps covered with weapons. Men in military garb sorting clips loaded with bullets. Unmarked SUVs. Recovered uniforms.
Several images still carry Spanish-language captions.
A little rusty Spanish gave us our first clues something was very wrong. (Well, other than the fact that the information came from chain email!)
So, here's something that's truly fresh to email to your relatives: Our fact-check.

Steel, aluminium prices hiked
Our Bureau
New Delhi , Jan. 3
FOLLOWING the price hike of Rs 500 per tonne by Steel Authority of India Ltd (SAIL), other private producers on Monday announced hike in prices of hot rolled (HR) coils by the same amount. The new prices would be in the range of Rs 28,000 per tonne to Rs 29,000 per tonne.
According to industry players, contracted coking coal prices have gone up by 2.2 times for the year 2005 to $125 (about Rs 5,600) from $58 (about Rs 2,600) last year. SAIL officials said they had last revised steel prices downward by Rs 1,000 a tonne in August 2004.
The country's second-largest aluminium maker, Nalco said it had raised aluminium prices by Rs 2,000 per tonne with effect from January 1. "The prices have been revised in line with the LME (London Metal Exchange) trend," a company spokesman said.
