I really appreciate this article, and plan to incorporate your ideas into my next marketing piece. I especially like the part about focusing on ONE person!!!
Thank you for this valuable information.
I need to make a couple confessions:
1. Most marketing pieces I receive end up in the trash.
2. I'm bored easily by most websites.
Maybe I'm a snob? It's possible, but I don't think so. I have a feeling that I'm not the only businessperson sick of reading glorified brag sheets.
Too often, in my opinion, us small business owners and solo-entrepreneurs become too self-involved. We forget that while, yes, we're in business to make money and put food on the table, we're ultimately providing a valuable service to our clients.
The result? We start telling people how long we've been around. We boast about being the number one salesperson in the country. We name drop. Here's the thing: potential clients are savvy consumers, and they don't care.
On the top of every prospect's mind is one question: what can you do for me?
Before they buy, customers want to know how they're going to benefit from your product or service. They want to know what's in it for them. If you tell them, you'll be in business.
To cut through (the crap) and make an impression, you need to become an audience-focused marketer. Here's how.
Take stock of your current material:
If your marketing brochure or website sounds like a resume, you've got a problem. When is the last time you wanted to read a resume? Umm...never. Too bad many small business owners feel like they have to prove themselves by listing their credentials, years experience, and awards. With marketing, you really only have a couple of seconds to gain your audience's attention and make a point. Don't use this time to bore people with factoids. Instead, share how you're going to help them. How?
1. Focus on one person.
Too often, we try to pack everything into a small marketing piece or on one page of our website. (We want to appeal to as many people as possible because then we'll get more business, right?) Wrong. When you try to appeal to everyone, you really appeal to no one. When you craft your marketing pieces, try to imagine one person. This person must be your ideal client: they'll love your product, get the most benefit from your service, and will tell all their friends about you. When you speak to one person instead of the masses, your marketing gets easier. Your approach changes automatically: instead of spewing a rehearsed pitch, trying to please everyone, the conversation becomes personal. Your marketing message becomes accurate. (It's like playing pin the tail on the donkey without a blindfold.)
2. Tell a story, create a mental image.
Instead of writing something dull like "We've been in this industry for 20 years," use your marketing content to tell a story. Storytelling creates images in people's minds. People relate to stories, and when you use a story to show people how you help, they'll identify, create a mental picture, and seek out your assistance.
Stories don't have to be super long case studies or go into great detail, they just have to get people to relate, and create an image in their mind. For instance, on my website I have a "Call me when" section on my contact page. One of my favorite call me when lines is: "Call me when your website has been under construction for longer than six months." Is everyone going to relate to this sentence? No. However, those prospects who have not launched their website because they can't write their content will. In their mind, a picture of their "Under Construction" page will pop up, and they'll have the desire to take action. Those are the people I can help, and those are the people I want to call me.
Craft stories and create images for your business. When you do, you'll have motivated customers knocking on your door.
3. Features vs. benefits.
Ahh yes, here we go with the features and benefits rule again. I won't go into too much detail because I feel like I'm beating a dead horse (this topic has been discussed ad nauseam), but I'll do a brief re-cap because I wouldn't be considered a true professional otherwise.
Features are about you. Benefits are about your clients.
Example: Lawn Care Company
Feature: We're the area's best mowers.
Benefit: You'll have the area's best lawn.
To retain your prospect's attention, you need to talk about benefits. To make a prospect a client, you need to listen and then talk about benefits they care about. If you want more on this subject, I highly recommend reading the article "Benefits Don't Sell" by fellow Biznik member Paul Anderson. He does a brilliant job laying it out.
The lesson: stop thinking about yourself and start thinking about your customers. How does your business help them? How will they benefit? Once you know, you can craft marketing messages that won't end up in the trash.

I really appreciate this article, and plan to incorporate your ideas into my next marketing piece. I especially like the part about focusing on ONE person!!!
Thank you for this valuable information.
Well, yes and no. I think a lot depends on the business. Yes, I want to know what you're going to do for my lawn, rather than how great a lawn company you have (I want to hear the latter from your customers, not from you.) But I also want to know about you, the solopreneur: your anecdotes, your successes, your failures and how you rose above them, the applications of your product or service to your own life. Tell me about that time you had embarrassing crabgrass dominating the lawn at your own outdoor wedding, to show me that you're human just like me...or the time you saved the day when all the other lawn mowers in town failed to deliver due to a power outage, so that I know you truly are the most reliable lawn-mower I can hire in Santa Cruz. The newsletters I receive that I don't trash, those I read from top to bottom, tell me something about the service provider. They're the ones I'm most likely to purchase something from as well. These marketers help me by demonstrating who they are and how they'll work with me.
It can even be a good schtick to tell stories that seemingly have nothing to do with benefits, or withme. I get a weekly newsletter called Writers Weekly from a gal named Angela Hoy. She knows her market, which includes many work-at-home mothers. So not only does she provide excellent service and value...she also writes about the questionably brilliant thing the baby said, or her teenage daughter's prom night, or...well, whatever the heck she wants. She also does the unthinkable: she toots her own horn...a lot. In addition to that, she does everything you're "supposed" to do when marketing a product or service: provides stats, testimonials, freebies, informative articles: the goods. You may hate or love reading about little Max's diaper rash when what you ultimately want is a reliable self-publishing package or a list of writers' markets, but since she's been doing this for many years in this "self-serving" way, I'm betting she has more loyal subscribers and customers than most of us will ever have.
@Dawn: I'm glad you found this article useful!
@Carol: I definitely agree, I want to know how my service provider solved problems for other people, and that's where storytelling comes in: you're showing people what you've done for others, how you solved their problems. Other potential clients will relate to the story and will want their problems solved, too. I don't mean to say that using personal stories as examples is wrong. It's not. And, like you said, it can help you relate to the person you're about to do business with. The problem, I think, it when we start writing a list of features (stats, numbers, etc.) that overwhelm and bore our audience. Benefits get closer to what we want our clients to learn about us: they're the result, what the clients get. So when your friend Angela toots her own horn because she solved a diaper rash problem, it's great. She's telling an interesting story, she knows her audience of work-at-home moms will want to know how she solved the rash problem, and her audience will relate to feeling triumphant in that situation. They'll also want to do business with her. Great points! Thank you for helping me clarify.
Dear Lindsay,
Thank you so much for the great article! I thought I was the only one who felt that way. I tend to rant but I'll spare you that and simply say I never trust any business the uses stock photography, describes itself as "full service", or insists I read a blog.
Not gonna happen.
Michael Rodak
I'll be checking and editing my website right away. Thanks for the great info. Nan Johnston Southern Staging & Redesign
I am very new at what i do for a living now, i am an Aflac agent and yes, i believe that knowing my future costumers is more important then what they know about me, that way, like you said, i can offer to them the exact thing that they're looking for without approaching them with overwhelming information that will just scare them away, i will let them know more about myself by providing a great service and by being there for them when they need me, ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THEN WORDS.
Thanks for the article.
Aaron Morales
Lindsay, I would say that you are correct and on topic about the "initial" message not being about you-the business owner. However, I would caution those who are reading articles like this to not run away screaming in the direction of taking yourself out of the marketing.
I agree with crafting the message to solve a specific problem. However I feel that a customer is next going to evaluate whether or not they want to do business with "you". That is where you want to have some place on your site that expresses who you are and a bit about why you are unique, talented and able to service the customer in the best possible way.
When searching for a provider for a solution I want to see 2 things.
Can you solve my problem?
Can you demonstrate or educate me as to why or how you have the skills, background, experience or education to solve the problem?
Personally, I am a bit cautious about the "great sales copy" telling me how they are going to solve my problem without knowing if they have the stuff to back it up.
I have seen a number of articles and discussions about this lately and just wanted to chime in as a warning not to void your site of "about you" and some mild "tooting of one's horn" is a good thing.
Great article overall.
I have to say though that I totally agree with the comments Marc has left above. I too am weary of precisely word-smithed sales copy, and, like Marc, I'm also a bit weary of all the articles recently posted on the topic.
In addition to making sales, business is about building relationships. Ultimately, business is about people. It's important to communicate what you offer a client, but taking yourself completely out of the equation can be a mistake.
I am currently in the midst of redesigning my studio's web site. I've made the decision to include a lot more content, rather than focus primarily on our portfolio as is currently the case. I don't expect everyone to read everything we include, but it's there if they wish to review. Hopefully, the hierarchy we've created presents the critical "what's in it for you, the customer" message first.
I feel it is also relevant to establish one's credentials (especially in an industry like mine – design – where anyone with a computer can claim to be an "expert"). That's why on our new site, the bios of our principals will be included. But, they will be farther down in the navigation structure. Essentially, "there if you're interested", but not the main selling feature.
For us, personality is important, on both sides of the client/consumer relationship. Our work is highly collaborative, and personalities count. This is how we'll be addressing the subject on the new site:
Given the chance, any experienced and talented design firm can give you results. The question is: will you have fun during the journey? Life is too short to work with people that leave you cold. Do you need to like us personally to work with us? Well... yes. Just as we need to like you. Great design is the culmination of many things. Achieving a creative and effective solution not only requires creativity and imagination, but also a spirit of trust and mutual respect among people who inspire each other. If you like our work, and agree with what you've been reading so far, then we'd say we're already well on our way to a successful collaboration.
Or, something along those lines. I'm still figuring it out :)
Thanks for sharing, and starting the conversation.
Ken Peters | Nocturnal Graphic Design Studio
Great article, i've been working on focusing on 'client benefits' for some time now and the difference has been HUGE!
Marc and Ken have done a great job of bringing balance to your very well written article and some very good points.
If marketing were all science and no art, one or two books/articles would be all anyone would need.
Anyway, thanks.
hey woman love the article. you are giving me work to do. i want to change up and get a better and targeted marketing plan. so thanks for the article.
Thank you for helping me get back on track! No matter how long I have been in the sales business it is an article like yours that gets me thinking about meeting my prospects needs and wants again.
Great points. I now have a website that gets a ton of visitors to the "about us" page. I was surprised. Very unusual to me. So I will rewrite this page to be dry and targeted to investors...to be more exciting...and targeted to consumers and buyers. Make it sound less like a resume...and provide the interesting story behind dna testing.
Here's the page I need to change... http://www.pathway.com/about_us/management Coupon code for $25 off: DNA25PG
I love the way you write...straight to the point. When I am ready to change my site, you will be my first call.
"Call me when..." is different and so fresh.
Thank you for all the wonderful ideas and great read this morning.
Sandy Rivers Civil Split LLC
As a graphic designer, I am always preaching the ideas of marketing to the audience and not marketing yourself. Clients just want to tell their stories and don't think about what the customer may want to hear.
This really comes up in websites. A lot of confusing navigation has been designed because the client was stubborn about what his main sections had to be. Not thinking about the visitor in web design is death.
Thanks for the post.
Love the article, especially the idea of the "one client". One extremely wealthy client is all I really do need at this time.... your timing is uncanny.
I do have to say I am often impressed by how long one has been in business and I do like to hear about the business owner.
Maybe it's just because I'm a woman but I'm not always in the mood for a story. I've already heard many and just not that into it....again, timing. Other times, love the story...hmm...go figure. Spontaniety. Did I spell that right? Close enough.
Cindy Chartieryoga guide
Great advice, and perfect timing. You've described succinctly something I've been thinking about, and have given me the ideal way to focus: on how my dealers will receive and benefit!
If your thesis was used as the paradigm of American business overall, we wouldn't be in the current economic condition. General Motors, AIG, Smith Barney all were guilty of the 'its all about us' mindset. They (along with the majority of businesses) not only marketed from a 'who we are' and 'we're the experts' orientation, but operated their businesses from the same belief system.
When we address the desires, interests, and potential to benefit of the customer, we create systems, products and services that create a constant stream of commerce. Hooray Lindsay!!
Thank you all for the kind comments and additional insight! I'm glad this topic has started a conversation and got people talking about their marketing (and, it turns out overall business paradigm).
A few points I wanted to clarify, quickly.
While this article is sort of in-your-face, I do believe that there is a time and place for your personal story, your credentials, and your experience. Your About page on your website is a perfect place for this information, for instance. I do not feel that you should leave yourself out of the picture completely! However, I do feel this information should take a "supporting role." (Not on your home page, necessarily.)
Like Marc mentioned above, marketing content without real-life experience and hard work is just a bunch of words. Meaningless. So, you have to be able to back up what you're claiming you can do for your customers. I don't think this was clear in the article.
Storytelling is not necessarily make believe. This is where the examples of how you've helped people in the past should come into play. If a potential client asks you if you've ever worked with someone in their industry before, for example, tell them. In addition, show how you solved that client's problems and how that experience will help you solve your prospects problems, too.
Again, thank you all for reading!
Thank you so much for this. I have been telling one of my clients who has his own business often about nobody cares about him, but what he can do for THEM and he refuses to believe it. Meanwhile, his monthly newsletters are all about him. I have also mentioned he might want to tell a story so that his future clients can identify with him. He should tell a story about what one of his dogs or kids did; people can relate to pets and kids.
I learned how to tell a story in my marketing pieces from a By Referral Only program and it literally helped me sell millions of dollars of property while only spending $14.95 per month. It is the most amazing technique ever and I find it very easy to do because it goes along with what I do everyday anyway. Telling stories suits my personality.
Thank you for sharing this valuable piece. It has reminded me to rewrite a new web site I have going up -- too many features and not enough benefits for the user.
These are great ideas, but I tend to disagree a little. Things like telling everyone how long you've been around and name dropping tend to lend some credibility, don't they? I'm not saying that's my main selling point, but who I am and how long I've been around DOES matter, does it not? But I do think the idea of focusing on one client is BRILLIANT and I will starting incorporating that concept into my marketing. Thanks!
@Cathy: I'm glad you've found this article helpful and are helping others tell their story in a way that relates. Good luck revising your website, let me know if I can help in any way!
@Lisa: Telling people how long you've been around and name-dropping (client list) are not completely taboo and in fact do lend credibility. I know my article seemed a little slanted against that, but my writing was strong to make a point: this type of information should be used in a balanced and measured way. Like you said, this information shouldn't be your leading marketing message or dominate a conversation. This info is best used in a supporting role, or when a customer asks for it. Thank you for your insight and best of success to you!
Enjoyed reading your article and kudos to your title! Often times the title is what really grabs someones attention and makes them want to read your content, website, blog, or brochure. To me this is just as valuable as your article! Business is all about relationships now more than ever and your section about telling stories is one that I need a constant reminder on! Often as we do the same presentation over and over again we start to do less story telling and more just going through the motions of the presentation. For me I always reach a point where I realize I am not connecting with my clients or prospects and then the bright light flashes and I realize I stopped telling stories... Thank you for being my reminder this week!
I skip - read articles that are too long or take too long to get to the point, but not this one. It is short and pricise...i like the tip of thinking my client as one person.
Thanks for sharing all the good ideas!
Good article with some excellent points often forgotten by small business owners.
I would be curious to know whether this was written with the B2C sales/marketing in mind and not B2B.
My background is in industries with large barriers to entry. In many cases, customers would want to hear about what was going on in our company more than what they had to share about theirs. There would be a sharing and exchange of information from both sides before any negotiations would begin.
In all of these cases, the customer really did care about us as their own success depended on it.
Regards John

GSA's Federal Technology Service Awards Third ACES Contract to AT&T
Note: Archived news releases may contain contact names, telephone numbers, Web links, or other information that is outdated. You may reach a public affairs officer at 202-501-1231. For a list of public affairs officers by beat, visit http://www.gsa.gov/portal/content/101120.
October 18, 1999
Contact: Bill Bearden (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC -- The U.S. General Services Administration has issued the third award in its Access Certificates for Electronic Services (ACES) procurement to provide secure online transactions between the federal government and American citizens.
GSA's Federal Technology Service (FTS), Office of Information Security, has selected AT&T for the third award of the ACES contract. AT&T joins Digital Signature Trust Company of Salt Lake City, Utah, and Operational Research Consultants, Inc. of Chesapeake, Virginia, as providers of public key infrastructure (PKI) services under this multiple award schedule contract. AT&T will be partnering with Verisign, Inc. to deliver services under the contract.
The ACES contract will provide a common public key infrastructure for enabling the American public electronic access to privacy related U.S. Government information and services. Based on public key technology, ACES will provide identification, authentication, and non-repudiation via the use of digital signature technology as a means for individuals and business entities to be authenticated when accessing, retrieving, and submitting information in communications with the government.
"The American people want easy electronic access to government information. They can only do this if we make sure their privacy is protected. The ACES Program will help achieve that goal," said David Barram, GSA Administrator. "By offering a governmentwide solution, this initiative allows the Government to present a common face to the public promoting convenience and user friendliness."
GSA/FTS is continuing to work with the remaining offerors and expects to have additional awards on this multiple award schedule contract within the next few weeks.
Additional information concerning ACES is available at http://www.gsa.gov/aces or by calling Judith Spencer of GSA's ACES program office at (202) 708-5600.

Tips on How to Become a Calmer Person
It is well accepted that being a calm person under pressure helps you remain more mentally and physically healthy. Even your immune system works better when you are not under stress. A person who remains calm under pressure is also far more likely to deal with situations with more thought and efficiency. Being able to effectively deal with problems is a very necessary quality for someone who wants to be successful at whatever they do. A person who can remain calm is also likely to find more pleasure in life. There are few worse feelings than feeling highly stressed under pressure.
So it is really important in life to be able to remain calm when under pressure. It will make you healthier, more successful, and happier. That's a pretty significant set of benefits I'm sure you would agree. Luckily being a calm is a skill that can be improved with a little know how. So for the benefit of the rest of your life, here are my top 10 tips on how to become a calmer person.
10 Tips on How to Become a Calm Person
1.) Accept that things will not go always go according to plan in life. Whenever you try anything it is inevitable that obstacles will get in your way. It's how you deal with them that counts. Instead of referring to them as 'problems' think of them as challenges.
2.) When in a stressful situation, breath slowly and deeply. You will be amazed at how calming this is.
3.) If possible, leave the stressful situation for a while and allow your mind to calm. It will be far easier to find a solution after some time out. If you are talking about a subject that is stressing you out, change the subject for a while.
4.) Take regular exercise. Our bodies are designed to do far more physical work than most of us do. Exercise can help us burn off excess energy and frustration, leaving us far calmer generally.
5.) Eat a healthy balanced diet. Many studies have been done that show that childrens' behaviour significantly improves when they are eating a healthy balanced diet. The same is true for adults.
6.) Try meditation and self hypnosis. Disciplines such as these can significantly help calm the mind. They also get our minds used to being calm, helping in both the long and short term.
7.) Consider yourself a calm person. Often what we tell ourselves is what we become. Why not tell yourself you are a calm person? People really admire this quality, and it is something to be proud of.
8.) Remember, most things that we worry about or get stressed about are almost never as bad as we first think. Don't jump the gun and waste your energy worrying over nothing.
9.) Also remember that there is no point worrying over something that you cannot control. If the traffic is bad and is causing you to be late, worrying will not speed you up. You may as well turn up late and calm, rather than late and stressed.
10.) Remember, a calm mind can resolve almost any situation, whereas a stressed mind often makes things worse. Take the easy route and remain calm.
Read these 10 points a few times, and let them sink in. Perhaps even print them out and stick them on your wall or fridge, and re-read them regularly. Of course reading these tips is not enough. You must also practice using them in your day to day life. If you follow these tips then you will definitely become a much calmer person. People will probably notice a change in you, and may even compliment you for it. Very quickly you will be healthier, happier and more successful. What more could you possibly ask for?!

HP Pavilion dv7 - USB ports on right side not working
Hi everyone - I've seen a couple of posts on this, but so far no answers that have helped. I have a Pavilion dv7 running Windows 7 64-bit and the two USB ports on the right side of the laptop do not respond to devices (flash drives, USB mice, etc) whereas the USB port on the left side works fine.
I don't have any errors or issues in my device manager that I can see - I have seen suggestions to uninstall the drivers - but I don't know which ones to do - I have Generic USB Hubs, USB Root Hubs, etc.
If anyone could point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it. If there's any other information necessary, please ask and I'll do my best to provide.
Thanks for your time and help!
Re: HP Pavilion dv7 - USB ports on right side not working
I hate to bear bad news, but usually when the ports no longer work, then they are toast.
This is an issue that can be caused by using non-powered USB hubs or USB devices that draw too much current. The only sure fix I have ever heard of is replacing the system board. My wife's previous work notebook had two dead ports.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!

They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

OHV consultations go nowhere; appeals to be forwardedJoshua Sebold
Plumas County Supervisor Lori Simpson and Public Works Director Robert Perreault represented the county at a consultation meeting Friday, Jan. 5, with Plumas National Forest (PNF) Supervisor Alice Carlton.
PNF Appeals and Litigation Coordinator Jane Beaulieu began the meeting by explaining the purpose: to see if any of the issues in the county's appeal of the PNF's new Travel Management Rule could be resolved before going to formal review by the regional office.

Hewlett-Packard aims to offer it all in the tech world, from hardware and servers to technology services to enterprise IT management.
Where do I start? I think everyone else who picked under-perform on this one has said it all. Morgan Housel's latest article about how HP has basically set money on fire over the last few years sums it up nicely. Yes, the stock looks very cheap. But it's cheap for good reasons.

I have been reading a lot of adult play (check out Stuart Brown's TED talk on why play is vital at any age); all the benefits it brings and how somehow we lose it as we grow older. Play is seen as silly or unproductive or a waste of time, but yet think of the last time you ran around and played frisbee or hit the swings – it feels good, uplifting and free to goof around.
Today I decided to take Lily to the playground for a workout – maybe I should change that to "playout". Her and her little pal Amelia are our cheer leaders as their moms grunt and puff during the playout. I suppose if you truly wanted to make this play, there would be no purpose for the exercises, no reps, no times, but I kind of like structure, so we added some reps and sets to the sequence of exercise.
Run about to warm-up and cool-down for at least 5 minutes each. Do 3 sets of each pair of exercises, with descending reps for the first move and 30 sec for the second move. After you have completed all 3 sets, run about for 1-3 minutes before tackling the next pair of exercises.
1. Lumber Jack squats – start tall with your arms overhead as if you are holding an axe, as you squat down bring down the axe. Do 20 / 15 / 10 for each subsequent round. + 30 sec of sprinter jacks – like running on the spot but more "bouncy and fun"
2. Swing rows – 20 / 15 / 10 + 30 sec of swing knee tucks (place your shins on the swing, hands on the ground and draw your knees towards your chest)
3. Plank with leg circles – raise one leg off the ground and draw 20 circles. Repeat with the other leg. Decrease by 5 for following 2 rounds + 30 sec of bench jumps
4. Jumping pull-ups (kids make these look so easy!) – 15 / 10 / 5 + 30 sec swing v-sit leg cross-overs (sit in the swing, raise your legs and lower upper body slightly to form a "V" and scissor your legs out wide and cross-over in front)
5. 1 leg T-raises (thumbs to the sky) – balance one leg, fingers facing the ground. Pinch your shoulder blades together as you lift your arms up. Switch legs half way through the reps 30 / 20 / 10 + 30 sec 2 foot side to side plank jumps – hold high plank as you jump both feet together side to side
Have fun!!!!

One-Day-Old Kitten Found at a Trucking Place
Animalkind was brought in a day-old kitten without a mom, found in an tractor engine at a Trucking place in Selkirk. We went to the location to look for other homeless kitties and the mom but none were found alive nor was there a mom in sight. ...Until another very pregnant kitty appeared (LUCY) who was fed by the company's compassionate workers throughout the past year.
It was decided that a truck is not a great place for giving birth-so Lucy came to Animalkind...last minute call! Within hours, the foster mom didn't even arrive yet- 6 kittens were born. 2 had a hard start and would not have made it outdoors. They needed to be resuscitated and warmed with a heating blanket-force fed for a few hours until they perked up and joined the rest of the tiny gang.
Lucy is soo happy to be a mom and is now in her foster home. We are still working with the company to trap/neuter/release other cats who made their home there, so no more kittens will be born in engines and die of lack of care. We will keep you posted on the progress of those sweet hearts and Lucy.
Please help us continue our efforts by making a donation today. Tax deductible donations to Animalkind can be sent by mail or online. Your support is sincerely appreciated!

I had to visit Rockland for a business trip and chose to stay at the Berry Manor for my 2 nights because it was the closest to the facility. I am so glad that I did! The B&B was absolutely lovely. It was beautifully decorated for the Christmas holidays. The innkeepers Cheryl and Michael and their staff were so friendly and made me feel right at home. Definitely DO NOT miss tasting one of their home-made pies which are available for guests 24/7. A special thank you goes out to Cheryl for helping me arrange alternate travel plans when some bad weather caused my flight to be canceled. I would highly recommend staying here.

This place was just what the doctor ordered! Cozy, on a side road, walking distance to town, friendly staff, knowledgeable staff, considering the age of the buildings, great shape and well kept. And the " treat at the end of every day! My favorite was the blueberry pie, no ice cream needed, but my wife was making sure that the ice cream didn't get wasted! Ok, the cherry pie was just as good too! I listed Outstanding, because we really could find no faults. Some people go places to look for the faults, we go places to enjoy ourselves, so if things run smoothly for us , then "outstanding"! And again, this was just what the doctor ordered. We will be back. Even the "singing" at breakfast was.... !

Berry Manor was picture perfect. From the moment we walked up the front steps when we arrived we knew this was going to be a delightful anniversary weekend. Room 2 was so cozy and beautifully decorated and waiting for our arrival. Cheryl and Mike had it all planned and were ready with lots of great ideas for our couple days ahead exploring the Rockland area. Breakfast was delish - oh those raspberry stuffed French toast! As advertised and better than what we imagined those PIES! Cherry was my favorite with coffee on the front porch. A MUST STAY and we will be back.

The Berry Manor Inn was the perfect place to celebrate our 37th wedding anniversary. The location was great. Room #9 was very plush and comfortable. Everyone very friendly and accommodating. This was our first experience with a bed and breakfast and we were pleasantly surprised. Breakfast was delicious and entertaining. Their fresh homemade pies were scrumptious, available 24/7. We tried them all! Everything was wonderful with many personalized touches that make all the difference. The only downfall was we were only able to get away for one night. Will plan to stay longer next time! We are highly recommending them to our friends - Diane & Rick New Gloucester, ME

Recently, my great friend Sandra and I had the opportunity to visit charming Rockland, Maine. She had secured accommodations at the Berry Manor Inn, a B&B located walking distance to the coast. I had never experienced a B&B although Sandra had. I was immediately impressed with the exterior appearance and landscaping. Upon entrance the 'wow' factor continued, a stunningly beautiful interior true to it's time period. We were then greeted by Michael (co-innkeeper), a very extroverted individual who made us feel like we were old friends. Michael took us on a tour of the Inn, all the way sharing the history, features and amenities (homemade pies 24/7 with ice cream, sodas, juices, teas and coffee and more). He explained that there was fresh coffee and juices available on the second floor if we wished to partake before breakfast. Breakfast, served in an attractive period dining area came in courses served by a delightful young lady with assistance from both Michael and Cheryl (the other co-innkeeper) a cheerful, knowledgeable lady. The quality and quantity of food was TOP SHELF. The cherry attitude of all made for a very pleasant breakfast. The room we stayed in was SPOTLESS compliments of Cheri the assistant innkeeper and VERY comfortable and well appointed. When it came time to venture out Michael and Cheryl where very helpful with suggestions, directions, maps and brochures. Our stay INCLUDED a venture with true lobstermen as they checked their traps and educated us about lobster and the area. Included also was a lobster lunch (you pick your lobster) just down the road that was fabulous and included a tour of the operation. Both Sandra and I are well traveled and have worked in the hospitality business and unequivocally, whole heartedly and honestly recommend Rockland and, in particular, the Berry Manor Inn as an outstanding experience not to be missed. On a scale of 10…this place and these people rate an 11.

Innkeepers Cheryl & Mike has created the perfect blend of exquisite and quirky. Cheryl has thought of everything...tours of the inn so you'll know where everything is, turndown service with quiet classical music playing when you return, warm fireplaces, 2-person jacuzzi tubs, comfortable beds & pillows with luxurious bedding, throw blankets and thick robes, delicious breakfasts & pies all day! Mike's touch of quirky keeps things real & fun. At the Berry Manor Inn you'll find fancy without the stuffy.

When my husband and I started planning our trip to Maine the only item on the agenda at that time was, "Stay at the Berry Manor Inn". We were greeted by the very nice Assistant Inn Keeper who gave us the history and grand tour of the home, introduction to the guest pantry and showed us our room which was room 5. We were VERY happy with our stay, the blueberry pie with ice cream, CLEAN & COMFORTABLE huge room and bathroom and the delicious breakfast. The dining room at the Berry Manor Inn was arranged with cozy, elegant tables of two or three and there was a time frame for the breakfast meal. The breakfast team was also very friendly and attentive to each guest as they "drifted" in and had a seat at a table. We would absolutely 100% recommend this home to everyone.

If you're ever vacationing on the coast of Maine, a stay at the Berry Manor Inn is not to be missed. The innkeepers have thought of everything to make your stay memorable. The surroundings are exquisite with such attention to detail. Breakfast is always superb with every effort made to cater to dietary needs. Of course the homemade pies available 24/7 are an added touch! The added bonus is that this beautiful place is situated in the amazing town of Rockland where excellent dining, shopping, and tourist attractions are readily available. We look forward to coming back. You will too!!

We had our wedding there on July 13th 2013. The room was very comfortable, our wedding was fabulous, the owners Cheryl and Mike along with the rest of the staff treat you like family. Every morning they cook a delicious breakfast and the pies are to die for. Would highly reccomend staying there.

From the first moment we arrived at Berry Manor, we knew it was going to be wonderful. The Staff gave us a very warm welcome and a wonderful tour of the house. Our room (12) was the most beautiful room we have ever stayed in, we are so glad we found Berry Manor. Cheryl and Mike were very down to earth, which we truly loved and they made us feel like a part of the family. We will definitely be going back. Oh and the pies were OMG delicious and so fresh.

Chen, Xun and Opoz, Tahsin Tecelli (2010) Simulation of Grinding Surface Creation – A Single Grit Approach. In: The 13th International Symposium on Advances in Abrasive Technology (ISAAT 2010), 19-22 September 2010, Taipei, Taiwan.

The paper presents an investigation of grinding material removal mechanism using finite element method. Understanding of grinding removal mechanism relies on the investigation of material removal by each individual grain. Although some analytical formulations have been developed to predict and to quantify the machining events in grinding, they do not illustrate every stage of abrasive actions. Finite element analysis provides good facility to present details of physical behaviour in grinding. In this research, material removal mechanism of grinding, namely rubbing, ploughing and cutting, is discussed with the variation friction coefficient. The major emphasis here is on the ploughing. Total force variation exerted during indention and sliding of a grain is also presented along its path.

With the 2013 XV Crosstrek, Subaru reaffirmed its interest in niche crossovers, and early signs are that it's selling well, so will parent Fuji Heavy Industries green-light another one? That's the question begged by the new Viziv concept just unveiled here at the Geneva Motor Show.
Subaru will be stocking its display at the Geneva Motor Show next month: The European debut of the Subaru Forester joins the world premiere of a diesel Outback with Lineartronic CVT and a display called Subaru 360 that showcases the "brand's history and future vision."

Following our article on the Top 10 fastest smartphones, the time has come to see who makes the fastest hardware in the world of tablets. While Qualcomm dominated the list in mobile phones, situation in tablets might change, as bigger chassis allows for higher clocked parts and less thermal challenges than was the case with smartphones.
All we want to know is who makes the fastest tablet on the market using a 3D benchmark that drives OpenGL ES 2.0 to its limits. Once more, we have relied on Rightware's Basemark ES 2.0 Taiji benchmark, and results listed on the PowerBoard. PowerBoard is Rightware's online resource where benchmark results are being uploaded by the device manufacturers even before they come out.
Just as in our smartphone list, we've excluded the identical products with various features (for example, the first three tablets in the original list are identical), as well as products which are no longer supported by manufacturer (read: HP TouchPad). The list includes model, screen resolution, SoC processor and the GPU inside the SoC.
Top 10 Fastest Tablets (as compiled by BSN*):
- 32 fps – Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus (1024×600, Samsung Exynos S5PV210, ARM Mali-400MP)
- 30 fps – Lenovo IdeaTab S2110 (1280×800, Qualcomm MSM8960, Qualcomm Adreno 225 GPU)
- 28 fps – ASUS PadFone (1280×800, Qualcomm MSM8960, Qualcomm Adreno 225 GPU)
- 27 fps – APad Yundao Window N90 Dual-Core (1024×768, Rockchip 3066, ARM Mali-400MP)
- 23 fps – Pantech Element (1024×768, Qualcomm APQ8060, Qualcomm Adreno 220 GPU)
- 21 fps – Cube U30GT-W (1280×800, Rockchip 3066, ARM Mali-400MP)
- 20 fps – Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 WiFi (1280×800, Samsung Exynos S5PV210, ARM Mali-400MP)
- 20 fps – Ainol Novo 7 Aurora II (1024×600, Amlogic 8726M, ARM Mali-400MP)
- 19 fps – Acho C908 (1024×768, NuSmart NS2816M, ARM Mali-400MP)
- 19 fps – Acer Iconia Tab A510 (1280×800, NVIDIA Tegra 3, NVIDIA GeForce ULP)
As you can see from the list above, ARM's Mali GPU leads the way with six products in Top 10, followed by Qualcomm with three design wins. With the tablet chassis providing more space, NVIDIA finally managed to crack into Top 10. The first runner-up is Google Nexus 7, whose 18fps only sufficed for 11th position.
Still, there is a lot of potential coming in the Winter 2012/13. With Qualcomm's next-generation APQ8xxx processors featuring Adreno 300 Series GPUs, and NVIDIA T40 (Tegra 4) featuring Kepler architecture, ARM Mali-600T as well as Vivante GPGPU architecture – things are bound to heat up. Naturally, let's not forget the Imagination Technologies PowerVR graphics processors in Apple and Intel processors.
For the end, we leave you with an image of PowerBoard's original list. Let us know what you think, is our list more realistic, or we should stick with figures from Rightware?
The original Top 10 Tablet list on PowerBoard. With four identical tablets in Top 5, it is easy to see why we removed the identical models.
Feel free to discuss below.

ACP-ASIM Pressroom
Tax Credits for the Uninsured Should Be Targeted to Most Needy
April 8, 1999
Many Current Congressional Proposals Fail to Meet Key Criteria
(Washington, DC): A tax credit for people lacking health insurance should minimize "substitution," be targeted to those most in need, and provide a big enough subsidy to be effective, declared American College of Physicians - American Society of Internal Medicine President-elect Whitney Addington, MD, FACP, at a Capitol Hill briefing April 7.
Dr. Addington described several current congressional proposals for a health insurance tax credit as positive starting points, but noted that most fall short on meeting three main criteria for success:
- Any tax credit should contribute enough to make affordable coverage available to low-wage/low-income uninsured people, typically those at 150% of the federal poverty level.
- The credit should minimize incentives for insured persons to substitute the tax credits for existing coverage.
- The tax credit proposal should clearly define the administrative structure to implement the tax credits, explain what they will cost, and suggest sources of financing.
The ACP-ASIM noted that a plan it unveiled in February was designed to address these concerns based on past governmental experience with tax credits.
For example, by limiting the credit to adults with incomes between 100-150 percent of the federal poverty level, the problem of substitution is largely eliminated since this group represents people most likely to have no other source of insurance.
The amount of the credit is important too, since participation for low-income people falls off rapidly as cost sharing increases. The ACP-ASIM plan calls for a tax credit at the amount of $2,800 at 100 percent of poverty and $2,400 at 150 percent. This is sufficient to buy a health insurance policy equivalent to a standard Blue Cross/Blue Shield plan.
An advance payment option also must be provided, since low income people can rarely afford to wait until tax time to receive the necessary funds.
The ACP-ASIM plan suggests using the state infrastructure currently used for administering the Child Health Insurance Program (CHIPs) to administer its tax credit plan. By contrast, some of the other current proposals before Congress suggest relying on the Internal Revenue Service.
The CHIPs' administrative structure , the ACP-ASIM notes, is already in place and is conducting outreach to the same basic group, i.e., children in families at 150 percent of poverty. The outreach for the adult tax credit could simply be "piggy-backed" on the current CHIPS program, as could the eligibility verification requirements.
In addition to the tax credit proposal, the ACP-ASIM plan also suggests expanding Medicaid, increasing funding for Medicaid enrollment outreach efforts, and providing insurance subsidies to temporarily unemployed and uninsured workers phased out at 250 percent of poverty. The plan would be paid for by funds equivalent to 12.6 percent of the projected federal budget surplus.
"The ACP-ASIM welcomes the opportunity to work with others who are interested in tax credits for the uninsured to develop the most effective plan possible," said Dr. Addington. "Incremental expansions, however, should only be viewed as a "down payment" toward universal coverage, not as an end in themselves. We can only really rest when all of our fellow citizens are covered by a decent health insurance policy"
ACP-ASIM is the nation's largest medical specialty organization and the second largest physician group. Membership comprises more than 115,000 internal medicine physicians and medical students. Internists are the major providers of medical care to adults in America and treat more Medicare patients than any other medical specialist.

There's quite a lot of spell making in this level, so you'll need to find all the ingredients. Some are very well hidden, so check out our guide to find them all!
In the room where you first start off, you need to find two keys to unlock the door. The red key is high up in the left-hand corner of the room next to the cobweb. Levitate the fiery torch on the side wall and burn down the vines that are wrapped around the key. You then need to levitate the key to the lock. For the yellow key target the wardrobe on the right side of the room and then build a statue. Shoot at the statue and it will release a key. Once again levitate it to unlock it. Now turn them both, you'll need two characters to do this simulataneously.
When you arrive at the next open room there's a number of things you need to do, including finding the ingredients to put in the cauldron. First up, you need to find the cauldron. There's a large wardbrobe on the right hand side of the room. Hit it and then build the cauldron. Now for the ingredients. In the centre of the room put the LEGO blocks on top of each other in this order – Green, Red, Blue. Hit the Skeleton with a spell, grab the hand and put it in the cauldron.
There's a small chest to the right of the main door. Hit the chest to reveal a snake and then target the Pixie (blue spell) who'll drop a hammer. Levitate the hammer to smash the snake and you'll get the second ingredient. The final ingredient is on the left side of the main door. You'll need to target the object high up on the back wall and you'll get the last ingredient for your strength potion. Now drink the potion and pull the heavy chain to exit the room.
In the next section, you'll need to find the three ingredients to make an invisibility potion. The cauldron is trapped by vines so burn them away with your Lumos spell. There's a spade near to the cauldron, use it to dig and you'll find the first ingredient. Now go back to by the entrance where you came in and use the Riddikulus spell on the boggart (spider) in the chest. Switch to Harry and use him to speak to the snake. You'll then be able to build an object that lets you go down the side of the building where you'll find a spider's web and the second ingredient. Target the fountain on the lower level and then build it so you have a wheel you can turn that gives you access to the upper level. The final ingredient is on the upper level. Stay out of the way of Argus Filch and the cat and jump through the window in the centre of the balcony to get the chicken leg.
Put all the ingredients in the cauldron and then both characters should drink the potion at the same time to go invisible. You can now both go to the upper level and walk past Filch without being seen. You'll need both of you to activate the pully system at the same time when you get past Filch. You'll open the gate and you can now leave the area.
To exit the next corridor, just target the small chest on the left hand side of the room and then build a cello. That will play and the man in the painting will drop a key that you can levitate to the lock on the left hand wall.

No one can fault his effort as far as his bowling in this IPL is concerned, but star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan feels that it's about time that he starts contributing with the willow. He has taken six wickets at an average of less than 11 run per wicket but according to Shakib that's only half the job done. "From the three matches I played, I was man-of-the-match once. I've done well as a bowler. I'm now focussing on my batting. By the God's grace, I hope to do well as a batsman," the unassuming Bangladeshi all-rounder said. KKR has been one of the most popular sides and Shakib believes that this year thay have a good opportunity to win their maiden IPL title. "The team atmosphere is just perfect. We are improving match by match. We are looking to be more consistent. We are taking one match at a time. Our first aim is to make it to the last four (play-offs). Then we will focus on winning the title. But I'm sure we will do better than last year," Shakib said. The Bangladeshi further said the conditions in India were similar to that of his country so it helped in delivering his best. "I always feel at home here. I've have been playing here since U-15 days. I always feel confident playing here," he said. Asked whether they are all geared up to face Sourav Ganguly-led-Pune Warriors at home on May 5, Shakib said: "It's just any other match." "As I said, we are taking one match at a time, so our target now is to win against Royal Challengers on April 28. There will not be any additional pressure against Pune (Warriors India). The spectators, though, may feel the heat," he said. The IPL is giving the cricketers a perfect preparation ahead of the T20 WC to be held in Sri Lanka this September-October, Shakib said. "Here you get to play against all the big players. A good performance here definitely boosts your confidence. I hope everybody will be happy with my performance in IPL. I always played for the team, to contribute in all the three departments." The all-rounder also thanked everybody in Bangladesh for his rise in International cricket. "I owe my success to everybody in Bangladesh. Right from the groundsmen to coach, my family, friends...everybody. It's difficult to name anybody particular," the 25-year-old said.

The opposition parties said a new commission must be constituted on the basis of a new modality agreed upon by all stakeholders.
By Halima Athumani
KAMPALA - Uganda`s opposition political parties and civil society organizations on Monday joined hands to call for free and fair elections in the country, underlining the need for a new electoral management system before the 2016 presidential vote.
"We are coming towards 2016 and we are saying we want electoral reforms," former ethics and integrity minister Miria Matembe, an opposition activist, told Anadolu Agency on the sidelines of the launch of the Basket of Demands for Free and Fair Elections NOW.
"The previous elections had been rigged," she said, citing bribes, intimidation and police harassment.
The opposition Forum for Democratic Change, the Uganda People's Congress, the Conservative Party, the Democratic Party and the Justice Forum joined hands to call for a new, independent and impartial Electoral Commission.
They insisted that the current commission was an integral part of the electoral rigging machine of the ruling National Resistance Movement regime.
The opposition parties said a new commission must be constituted on the basis of a new modality agreed upon by all stakeholders.
They also demanded a new voter's register in order to ensure free and fair elections.
The parties said there should be no involvement of security forces in the electoral process and the role of police should be strictly to ensure public order.
They wanted a control and monitoring mechanism to prevent the NRM and President Yoweri Museveni from allegedly using public funds to finance the NRM campaigns and buy votes.
Other demands included the demarcation of electoral boundaries and freedom of assembly. Currently opposition political parties are not allowed to assemble and their activities are routinely blocked.
Matembe, the former minister, accused President Museveni of being the "biggest rigger."
She recalled that he had gone to the bush in 1980 protesting the rigging of elections by the Milton Obote regime.
"He chose the uncivilized way and went to the bush and fought. Thousands of people had died," said the opposition activist.
"When he arrived here we embraced him thinking that he was going to do away with rigging of elections," she recalled. "Look now he is the biggest rigger."
Matembe accused President Museveni of preventing the opposition from mobilizing and talking and using police to instill violence and fear.
On Sunday, the ruling National Resistance Movement caucus meeting endorsed President Museveni to stand unopposed for the 2016 elections.
The 2016 polls would be the fifth such election organized under Museveni's regime in five yearly intervals since the NRM came into power in 1986.
"We are saying look here, 51 years down the road of independence, enough is enough," said Matembe. "We are tired. Ugandans are tired."

Seen in the upper Dunedin Botanic Garden, in the Cedars of Lebanon Grove, and overlooking the playground area.
The Cedars of Lebanon Grove was initiated and commissioned by the Cedars of Lebanon Club who had recently sold their 'Club House' on Stafford St.
Consulting Landscape Architect Mick Field, and the Director of the Dunedin Botanic Garden Alan Matchet offered the CLC a site next to the newly built Mediterranean Garden for the placement of a memorial seat and the planting of ceremonial tree for their coming event 'The Gathering' in October 2011, when the diaspora of Dunedin's Lebanese Community were to gather for a special celebratory occasion
Stuart Griffiths was invited by 'The gatherings' event manager Kerry Buchan to meet members of CLC to discuss the production of some further ideas for the Dunedin Botanic Garden's site, on the basis that it could be more than a seat and a tree and become more of place as was then being proposed.
Some concepts were later discussed with the members of the CLC and were presented to Alan and Mick to consider. A meeting was held at the DBG and it was realised that the site that was offered was not appropriate for the more substantial concept being discussed, and that the present site may be a better option. This new site was agreed as being appropriate and was to be developed further as a concept by Stuart Griffiths.
Stuart Griffiths produced a concept that the CLC was interested in pursuing further, where the seat, tree and a Sculpture of a Lebanese Cypress Cone would be placed on a terrace to be constructed on the site offered. The tree was already in situ as was another Cypress not to far away.
At the subsequent meeting with Alan and Mick it was agreed that the concept was acceptable to them and their plans for the surrounding areas future development. It was also concluded that the concept could be expanded from the quite 'incidental' concept in the arboretum, to being a concept Garden in its own right. Mick Field designed a garden planting and redeveloped the pathway systems to accommodate the placement of this new Cedars of Lebanon Grove Garden.
Mick's expanded concept was agreed to be pursued as the gift that the CLC would donate to the City. Mick and Stuart developed the project management plan to build the Garden, in which time – Delta was approached to construct the landscape elements and Stuart Griffiths and Graham Burgess and Alan Stocker of Abrasive Concepts and Monumental were to produce the Sculpture, its plinth, and its base along with the base for the seat. The CLC commissioned the construction of the seat from Cedar of Lebanon timber. The stone tiling also had a map of Lebanon cut into it under the seat.
Bryn Jones was the sculptor who carved the Cone and Alan Stocker did the pattern making. Alan supervised the sand casting of the cones sections at Giltech Dunedin and the welding together of the sections at Alans Sheet Metal.
Throughout the project the CLC had delegated the responsibility of managing the project for them to Richard Joseph and Martin George.
It needs to be 'Noted' that Bryn had decided to be inspired by the Cedar of Lebanese Cone in the carving of this idealised Cone and not to pursue an exact copy with all its crinkles and pores.
Discussion is underway to locate an appropriate plaque nearby the sculpture.
