Happy New Year and welcome back to the daily grind. We have a few new things worth mentioning, so here goes.
First, Stu and his A Thousand Knives Of Fire band will be heading out on the road later this month. The new ATKOF cd is at the plant and should be around here sometime in early February. We were hoping to have it a little sooner, but it did not work out that way.
We also have just recieved some copies of the very limited vinyl pressing of Five Horse Johnson's The No. 6 Dance. The fine folks of GMR in Sweden made only 500 of these for you to consume and we got our hands on 50 of them. You know what to do. They will go fast.
Next, we have decided to right a wrong so to speak... The boys at Mad Oak Studios are currently remixing Dixie Witch's One Bird, Two Stones album, so the lo-fi version that you all have will become an out of print collectors item, and the hi-fi, soon to be version will be the one that you all need. We Should have One Bird, Two Stones (version 2.0) ready for you sometime this spring.
Finally, We have confirmed our yearly mission down to the SXSW Music Festival. The Small Stone Showcase @ SXSW 2008 will take place on Friday March, 14th at The Room 710 in Austin, TX - (512) 476-0997.

Do the 3 P's of CRE Apply to You?
Last week, I had the privilege of being in Portland, OR for a commercial real estate conferencence. I had never been before and discovered it to be a beautiful and unbelievably clean city. I was blown away.
Our Pacific Northwest franchisees put on a great training conference. I got to speak on how to improve efficiencies with technology. I also got to lead a couple of break out sessions on measuring outcomes and accountability. It was a blast.
Curt Arthur, our managing director and franchise owner in Salem, OR said something there that I had to write about.
He mentioned in his opening remarks the 3 P's. These are the three things that typical commercial real estate brokerages do with a new listing. He was not complimenting our industry of commercial real estate.
3 P's of Typical Commercial Real Estate
- Put up a sign.
- Put it online.
- Pray that someone will bring an offer.
These are not bad things. A sign is a great way to broadcast to locals that property is available. Most property searches start online, so you have to make sure your listings are there. And I am a huge believer in prayer so don't get the wrong idea here. For those of you who would substitute the word 'hope' for 'prayer' – hope is not a strategy.
This is called Passive Marketing. The definition of passive marketing is to flood the market with information on all fronts, and then wait for the phone to ring. That is simply not good enough.
But this is the norm. Too often, a seller signs a listing contract and doesn't hear from the broker for 6 months when it's time to extend the contract.
The other side of the coin from Passive Marketing is Proactive Marketing. Proactive Marketing is taking the initiative to ensure everyone who could be a buyer knows the property is available. That takes work. That takes a system.
So here are some questions for you to consider as you start your week. I encourage you to ponder and share your answers in the comments section below.
- Is hope your strategy?
- Will you be described this week as proactive?
- In what ways will you proactively market your listings, products, or services?
- What are the most effective ways you proactively ensure that every qualified buyer knows about your listing, product, or service?
Question: Will the 3 P's describe you this week? You can leave a comment by clicking here.

7 Steps to Unleashing Crowdsourcing by Utilizing Testimonials
My wife drives a Toyota Sienna. Do you know why? It is because a couple of her friends do. My family is going on vacation next month. Do you know how we came up with Disney World? We asked our friends on Facebook what they recommended. This is what crowdsourcing is. By definition, it is the practice of obtaining needed services, ideas, or content by soliciting contributions from a large group of people.
Crowdsourcing is not a new phenomenon, but it has never had more power. Social media has brought the world to you laptop screen. You can access more content and opinions – and quicker – than you ever could before. People are making decisions this way. You probably did today.
Did you know that over 80% of all due diligence starts with a Google search? Do you know how many people trust a recommendation from a "friend"? 90%! Do you know how many people are positively influenced by a Facebook 'Like' button from someone they don't even know? 70%! That number astounds me.
By contrast, only 19% of people now trust traditional advertising. I'm talking about print, TV, or radio. Do you know why? Because the game has changed. No one wants to hear you toot your own horn anymore. They want to know about real people who have actually used your product or service. They want a testimonial.
I plan on writing more in the coming months about the power of crowdsourcing and how you can maximize its advantages. But today, I want to give you 7 steps to harvest testimonials. There are a dozen ways to repurpose them once you have them. First, though, you have to get them.
7 Steps to Getting Testimonials
- Make a list of your top client relationships – This is obvious, but you first need to list those clients from whom you would like a testimonial. Consider who was in love with the service or product your provided. Consider who has the most clout. Who are those people who you have done business with who can sway the most people in your direction? Write them down.
- It doesn't matter how dated the client relationships are – Don't be concerned if these clients go back years in the past. It doesn't matter as much when you provided value, but that you did.
- Write the testimonial for them – Typically, you are going to send an email request. For the first one or two, write the testimonial for them. It should read, "I'm writing to respectfully request that you write a couple of sentences as a testimonial for the service I provided. I'm looking for something like this…" Spoon feed it to them. Then let them know that if what you wrote is accurate, you are happy to use it as their words – with their blessing. This is the quickest path to obtaining a testimonial.
- Use peer pressure – Once you have your first one or two, introduce peer pressure. You can accomplish this by including the testimonials you have already received as examples of what you are looking for. This demonstrates that others are providing these testimonials. Peer pressure can then kick-in encouraging them to follow suit.
- Engage their competitive nature – By providing testimonials you have already received as examples in your email request, you will engage their competitive nature. Your client is likely to want to give you a testimonial that out-does the ones you have already received. Over time, this can really work in your favor.
- Make it easy – I have a coaching client who has collected recommendation letters for years. He has a book of them. It is very impressive. It also took a ton of work to accomplish. I'm not saying this is a bad idea because it is not. I am saying that you will have more success more quickly if you keep it simple. Use email. Ask for a couple of sentences. Provide examples. Make it as easy for them as possible. You are interrupting them with your request. The simpler it is, the more you will get.
- Systematize – To this point, I'm suggesting you look to the past for your testimonials. Once you've accomplished that, then systematize the process. Make it a part of your business to seek a testimonial from every new client you do business with. Over time, you will develop a stable of clients that scream from the mountain tops how awesome you are. Remember that 70% of people trust a recommendation from someone they don't even know!
I'd be so grateful if you would add to my list by using the comments section below. What have I left off? How have you put the power of testimonials to work in your business?

The Anatomy of a Cold Call – While I don't believe in scripts, I do believe in crafting your opening statement before you call. Most salespeople have the most problems with how they start the call. "Uh, hi. My name is Bo Barron and I'm with ABC Co. Uh….how's it going?" Terrible! Read more…
The 5 Steps of the Initial Meeting – With some experience and some great coaching, I learned a better way. Remember, if you are following my system, this initial meeting should be short. Actually, you told the prospect that it would be short. If you connect and the prospect starts asking questions – great. You may be there 2 hours. However, you told them short. Prepare for short as you are making an impression as someone with integrity…or not. Read more…

Why Do We Fall? [Video] -This week I had the privilege of traveling to Salisbury, MD to visit SVN Miller Commercial. This group is the Sperry Van Ness 2012 Firm of the Year. They are a study in how to build a team with incredible culture. They like each other. They have tradition. They have camaraderie. They absolutely dominate their market.
I had the pleasure of training their entire company primarily on prospecting. At the end of our afternoon together, Brent Miller played this video. I was so moved that I wanted to share it with you.

The Secret to Great Communication Every Time
How many times have you communicated a message to someone and followed up with "Do you understand?" In response you get a head nod and an "Uh huh."
When I was in boot camp, drill instructors barked orders at us all the time. When they would give instructions, they would follow-up with this question – "Do you understand that?" When said correctly, it sounds just like, "Undastanddat!?" Now jack up the volume and say it again.
Our response was always the same, "Sir, yes sir!" Regardless of how loud I screamed, I often did not understand. Bad things tended to happen at that point.
I remember the first time we were taught how to drill as a platoon. Not pretty! Drilling at its finest is choreography. It is also beautiful when it is down correctly. Check out this video of the Marine Corps Silent Drill Team. This is incredible.
My first day learning drill was the opposite of what you just saw. I distinctly recall that day. During a certain command, the entire platoon took a 45 degree turn to the right. Barron here took a 90 degree turn. I should have been wearing a sign that read "Please make me do push-ups until I create a pool of sweat from my brow." Not pretty.
The Drill Instructor communicated the instructions correctly. Yet I didn't get it. What happened? Where was the breakdown?
Leaders make this mistake all the time. They assume that because they have clarity in their minds, you should get it. Right? Not so fast. Let's look at the communication process.
Communication Process
- Sender – The sender of the message has a thought.
- Encoding – This step involves the sender choosing words to communicate the thought.
- Message – Here, the sender chooses which medium to send the message. It could be spoken, written, communicated through sign language, or even nonverbals.
- Decoding – Now the receiver of the message receives the message and interprets the meaning.
- Receiver – The receiver of the message now understands the original thought in the mind of the sender, right??
The break down occurs because words have meanings that could be different depending on where you are from. All the experiences of your past impact how you interpret the words you hear. Think of the word 'father.' Some of you are replaying great childhood memories. Some of you are reliving painful memories. To some of you, the word father means hero. To others it means absent. Your life experience gives meaning to words.
Because of this, every great leader and communicator adds a step to the communication process. That step is feedback. I was in a great workshop last week in Orange County, CA put on by MAP Consulting. I loved how they framed this concept. They call this the playback. Once you communicate the message, have the receiver play the message back for you.
Here is the phrase you want to learn. "So that I know I was clear, please play back for me…" Here are _ reasons why this phrase is so important.
5 Reasons to Playback
- Ownership – As the sender of the message, you are taking responsibility that it was understood. You are making sure that you were clear, not that the sender comprehended correctly. This is a big distinction.
- Feedback – Without this step, you have no way to know that your words were interpreted correctly.
- Adjustment – Once you hear your message played back, you have the opportunity to adjust your message. You may not need to, but you can add clarity before time is wasted going down the wrong path. Have you ever misunderstood a message and cost your company thousands of dollars? Millions?
- Accountability – Once clarified, there are no excuses. The message was understood. The entire team is on the same page moving towards the same goal. And everyone knows it.
- Repeatability – This process is repeatable in at least two ways. The first is playback can be used in every communication situation. The second, though,It is also repeatable in that it allows you to repeat the playback step multiple times until the message is clearly understood.
Question: How can you improve your leadership and communication by adding this playback step? You can leave a comment below.

When I was 15, my dad hired me to clean out a concrete drainage ditch. That ditch ran behind the houses of a street he had developed. We agreed on a price and I started digging. I soon discovered that I could hire my friends at a rate higher than minimum wage. I made all the income when I did the work. I made half that amount when they did the work.
It was an epiphany for me. I made money by providing work for my friends. It cost me no time. Instead, I would mow yards. It multiplied what I could make. As I look back, this was the summer I was bitten by the entrepreneurial bug. The other thing I learned that summer was digging ditches is no fun!
So let me ask you a question. If I paid you a million dollars to dig a ditch, would you not do it?
Prospecting is much like digging a ditch. It is no fun. However, it is the path to substantially increasing your income? If I paid you a million dollars to prospect, would you not do it? This is your choice every day when you decide how to spend your time.
Dig your ditch! Here is a recap of how to do it.
How to Dig Your Ditch
1. Introduction to the Clarity Series on Prospecting
2. Choose your Geography and Specialty
This wraps up the Clarity Series on Prospecting. My hope is that you will now have actionable steps to implement into your business. Adopt the mindset that someone is paying your a million dollars to dig this ditch. Systematize your prospecting. Delegate every task you can. Make the calls! Do this and join the 5% of top performers. Nothing is holding you back except…you.
There are more Clarity Series topics to come in the future, but I want to hear from you. What topics would you like to read about in more depth? Comment below!

I was an Arabic Linguist in the Marine Corps. Those with my job specialty went one of two paths. They deployed in support of infantry units, or they were sent to a support battalion state-side. Those units did not deploy. I was placed on the second path.
My mom was thrilled as was my wife. I was not. I would volunteer for every deployment (they never sent me). I wanted to go and do the job.
I compare this to faithfully studying for a test. You have put in the work. You are ready. You know that you will come through when it matters at test-time. You are confident that you will ace it. But you never get to take the test. That is what it was like for me. I had put in the work and needed to take the test.
You have now landed a meeting to make a listing presentation (or whatever presentation applies to you). You have worked through the entire prospecting process to get to this point. Your put in the work becoming a market specialist. Building a database. Sending letters. Making cold calls. Conducting the needs analysis. It has all led to this moment. You sit in front of the prospect. The business is there for the taking. You have the privilege of potentially improving the life of the person in front of you.
What do you do?
Normal Listing Presentation
Before we get into what the winning listing presentation looks like, let discuss the industry standard.
The industry standard listing presentation is broker-centric and follows the sequence in the picture.
- Bio – the broker talks about how awesome he is. The prospect gets to hear the bio, breadth of experience, etc.
- Company – the broker then talks about the company. They have been serving their clients faithfully for 45 years, etc.
- Buyer Lists – My database is bigger than anyone else's. This is the claim that kills me. There is no way that any one firm knows all the potential buyers for the property. It is simply impossible. But this is the claim.
- Advertising – Explanation is given to how the property will be marketed. They promise to pre-screen all buyers to not waste the prospects time, etc.
- The property – Finally, the broker gets around to discussing something that effects the prospect – their property! The broker takes the seller through the underwriting and analysis.
- Listing Agreement & Commission – Once the broker has made the case for how awesome she and the company are, and explained how they will produce the sure-fire buyer, they make the case for their fee and negotiate the listing agreement.
Note that the prospect must sit through a presentation that has little to do with them and everything to do about the broker and his/her company. Often, the prospect has 4 of these back to back in an afternoon. The last broker in should bring a six pack.
Winning Presentation
In contrast to the broker-centric presentation, the winning presentation is all about the prospect.
- Start by connecting – You have already had the needs-analysis interview so you know what the main concerns and highest interests of the prospect are. Start there. Demonstrate that you were listening. Assure the prospect you have custom crafted your presentation to meet those needs. Discuss with the prospect your conclusions about the property and demonstrate how you got there.
- Explain your action-plan – As your prospect has specific needs, explain how you are going to meet those needs. Think of all your capabilities as the proverbial toolbox. Which tools are you going to pull out and use together to accomplish the goals of your prospect.
- I have, I am, and I will do – Now share with your prospect a deal story where you have accomplished a similar feat before. Use the "I have, I am, and I will do" method. I have accomplished this before. I am working to accomplish this right now with other clients. I will be able to do so again for you.
- Close – Summarize the key points of your presentation. Emphasize your understanding of the prospect's situation. Show how you custom solution will accomplish the prospect's goals. Then ask for the business! Don't forget to actually ask. Too many salespeople stop just before this point.
I realize that this is over-simplified. But what do you do to win the business? What are your key steps to a winning presentation? Share those thoughts in the comments section.
CS: Prospecting – The 5 Steps of the Initial Meeting

While the context is commercial real estate, these steps and principles can be applied to any sales. To read the introduction of this series, click here.

Over the last couple of weeks, we've discussed the first 5 steps of the killer prospecting system: geography, specialty, database, use the mail, and make the dang cold call. You have done these 5 steps and now have a meeting with a prospect. Here is what I used to do.
I would go into the meeting guns blazing about why me, why my company, and why now. It was all about me. I would give my canned listing presentation. I would use this on a 2 acre piece of raw land just like I would with an $8MM apartment complex. I cringe thinking about this.
With some experience and some great coaching, I learned a better way. Remember, if you are following my system, this initial meeting should be short. Actually, you told the prospect that it would be short. If you connect and the prospect starts asking questions – great. You may be there 2 hours. However, you told them short. Prepare for short as you are making an impression as someone with integrity…or not.
5 Steps of the Initial Meeting
Your purpose in this meeting is two-fold. First, you need to find out if there is a problem or an opportunity. Second, you want to leave with an appointment for a second, longer meeting. This second meeting is where you will make your proposal. Here is how to pull it off.
- Ooze Gratitude and Excitement – Too many brokers or salespeople act too cool. If you have done your homework and worked the system, then you are sitting with someone who you want to do business with. You are sitting across from someone who you have pursued. Don't act like you could care less. Show the prospect that you are excited. Let them know that you are thankful they have given you some time. Gratitude and manners go a long way. "Mr. Prospect, I lost sleep last night I was so excited about meeting with you today. Thank you so much for the time."
- Arrive Bearing Gifts – To get the meeting, you may have offered them something of value – information on a comparable sale effecting their property's value, etc. Be sure you have it. It is likely they aren't meeting with you because of your reputation. Deliver this information in the context of a story. Stories are a great way to communicate the emotion of the deal. It will help you connect with the prospect.
- Make the meeting about them – This is contrary to a salesperson's natural inclination. Don't drone on about your experience or your company. You should have researched the prospect. Try to quickly connect around some common ground. Did you go to rival colleges? Do you have children of similar ages? Ideally, you will be in their office. This gives you the opportunity to see pictures, awards, diplomas, etc. Pay attention to detail.
- Ask Great Questions – Here is where you are trying to uncover motivations that could lead to a transaction. Better stated – you are trying to uncover opportunities to serve the prospect and build trust. Asking open-ended and insightful questions is how you will do it. Try to find area of frustration or pain. Ask them what keeps them up at night regarding their property. The answer could be about an opportunity they are excited about. It could also be about pain they are having. Ask them about frustrations they have had with previous broker relationships. The answers to these questions are gold. This is the information you will use to prepare your customized proposal to win their business later.
- Ask for the next meeting – Now that you have conducted your needs-analysis meeting, ask for the next meeting. Explain that you will need a little more time for the next meeting to propose how they might achieve their highest interest (this is the same highest interest you learned in step 4). Once you leave with an appointment, it is now time to prepare for your proposal.
What are your thoughts about an initial needs-analysis meeting? What are some questions that you would ask? Please leave your comments below!

The Purpose of a Cold Call – The purpose of a cold call is very simple and there is no debate. It is to get a meeting. That's it. It is not to spend 20 minutes on the phone. It is not to build a lasting relationship. It is not to make the sale. The purpose of the cold call is simply to get a meeting.. Read more…
How to Write a Prospecting Letter – So, here is a not so short letter to my children. I share this because I believe intentionally communicating with our children what they should know is a great idea. Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my life, but it could also be my last. I want to intentionally take steps to share certain things with my children that could make a huge difference in their lives. I share this to encourage you to do the same. Read more…
Introducing the Clarity Series: Prospecting – Clarity is such a powerful thing. It allows you to act with direction and focus. It gives you the ability to maximize your efforts and your results. Clarity of purpose allows you to say 'no' to good things and 'yes' to great things.
I am introducing the Clarity Series. Let me explain what the Clarity Series is.
Preparation for a Cold Call – I recommend that you take 2-3 minutes before you make a call and see what you can find out about your prospect. There is way too much information out there not to. Your goal is to find something quickly that you can use to establish common ground. Remember, cold-calling is a numbers game. Don't spend too much time researching your prospect. And don't spend too much time on the call itself. Read more…
5 Steps to Build a World-Class Database – In 2004, I got out of the Marine Corps and moved home with my family. The next day, I started working with my dad in his CRE brokerage business. As we would be driving around town, he would share with me the histories of the properties we drove by. He knew everything. He knew who owned the property. He could tell me what they paid for it. He could tell me how big they were. We would pass some properties he had sold multiple times. He defined encyclopedic knowledge of a market. I remember thinking that I would never get there.

CS: Prospecting – Anatomy of a Cold Call
The Clarity Series is a series of posts all on one subject. This particular subject is prospecting. While the context is commercial real estate, these steps and principles can be applied to any sales. To read the introduction of this series, click here. To read an overview of the entire prospecting system, click here. Thank you for reading!
In the last two posts, we have discussed the purpose and philosophy of cold calls as well as how to gain confidence by solid cold call preparation. In this post, we are going to talk about the ideal anatomy of a cold call.
Anatomy of a Cold-Call
Opening Statement – Mike Lipsey calls this the IBS – initial benefit statement. The key here is to get right to the point. Communicate quickly and with clarity why taking this call will benefit the prospect. In Part 2 of this post, I discussed that you want to find the prospect's website. What you are looking for is their mission statement, core values, etc.
For example, let's say the prospects mission statement is to "Add value to the lives of our clients by providing unmatched products and world-class service." Your opening statement could then be:
"Mr. Prospect. My name is Bo Barron. The purpose of my call is to help you add value to the lives of your clients by providing you with world-class service and unmatched expertise."
Notice that I didn't completely plagiarize their mission statement, but I'm talking the language of the prospect. The prospect will know that I've done my homework.
While I don't believe in scripts, I do believe in crafting your opening statement before you call. Most salespeople have the most problems with how they start the call. "Uh, hi. My name is Bo Barron and I'm with ABC Co. Uh….how's it going?" Terrible!
Knowing your opening line will give you confidence. It will also grab the attention of your prospect. This will give you a much better chance of landing the meeting.
Follow Up Question – Once you have gained the prospect's attention with a killer opening statement, it is now time to ask the perfect question. What is that question, you ask? It is one that gets the prospect talking. If you can get them talking about a problem or an opportunity – even better. Here are some sample questions:
- What problems are you having with your vacancy?
- Many owners are struggling with their management. What difficulties are you having?
- When you purchased this property in 2004, what were your thoughts about how long you would keep it?
- I see that you own 3 properties in this area. What are your continuing growth plans?
- How long do you feel like your current capacity can handle your growth?
I suggest that you have two questions ready. If you bomb with the first, then you are ready to fire with the second. Also, human dynamics make it very difficult to say no twice. That is why a door-to-door salesman always has a second item to sell you when you shoot down the first.
And do not ask 'yes/no' questions. They will tell you no. Ask the prospect a question that leads them to share a little bit about their property, their plans, their frustrations, etc.
Value for Free – Here is where you can set the hook. Have something of value to offer the prospect for free. This could be a market report, trend report, or something in the news that could affect their property. The best thing, though, is a comp. Ideally, you have just sold something in the neighborhood. Owners want to know about deals that have happened. They want to know the details. They want to know who was involved. If you have that information, they will talk to you and meet with you.
Your thinking should be, "Even if I don't uncover a possible relationship or transaction, this prospect is going to gain something valuable from taking my call."
Close for the Meeting - At this point, you have shared with them the purpose of your cold call. You got them to share a little bit about their property or their business. Now you have piqued their interested in some information that you have. Now it is time to close.
Most of you stop here. Don't. You have to ask for what you want. Ask for the meeting!
Now, you have just offered the prospect information that they want. Do not give it to them over the phone. Do not email it to them. Require that they meet you face to face. But make the requirement as whimsical and gentle as possible. I use the assumptive and alternative calendar closes the most.
First, I assume the prospect will meet with me. Then I give them two different dates and times that I can "pop by."
- I like the alternative calendar close because the answer to the question is not "no." I am asking the prospect to choose between two dates and times. This increases the likelihood of a positive answer.
- The term "pop by" is one I learned from the book How to Master the Art of Selling by Tom Hopkins (affiliate link). This is a great book on the tactics of selling. The term "pop by" just sounds quick – like you will just be there for a few minutes. Maybe you will. Regardless, it is easy for the prospect to agree to.
Within these 4 steps of the anatomy of a cold call, the conversation can go anywhere. You need to be ready to improvise and go where the cold call may take you. But remember, you have to actually ask for what you want. Ask for the short meeting.

Not to mention the uniform brackets that hold the shades in place – an element that adds both form and function to this beautifully understated style.

1 Questions from the Community
We have 9 foot ceilings, can the light be adjusted to hang down less than 60 inches?
ATG Stores Answer
This fixture has a body height of 21.75". The stems that come with it to hang the fixture come as 2, 12" stems, and 2, 6" stems. So ultimately, you could just use one of the smaller stems and that would be the highest you would be able to hang this fixture. You can mix the stems around to adjust the height to where you want it.

Heptonstalls' clinical negligence solicitors are very familiar with the fact that:
If you or a member of your family has suffered an injury as a result of the negligence of a doctor or health professional, you may be entitled to make a clinical negligence compensation claim.
There are many different types of areas for clinical negligence claims. You may have been injured in one of the following areas:
Clinical negligence is an area of law that is highly specialised. It takes a considerable amount of knowledge and experience in order to represent claimants successfully.
Our advice to you is:
In order to win a compensation claim in the clinical negligence area, you are required by the law to prove:
Before we make a clinical negligence compensation claim, we will discuss the NHS Complaints Procedure as you may need to submit a complaint prior to pursuing a compensation claim.
Heptonstalls specialise in the following area:
Clinical Negligence: Although the UK's health treatment is known to be of a high standard, mistakes are made and this can have devastating effects on individuals and families.
Spinal Injury: Injuries of this type can leave the victim paralysed or with serious mobility difficulties and other health problems.
Brain Injury: A serious head injury can lead to needing long term specialist care.
If you, a member of your family or somebody who you know is a victim of Clinical Negligence, get in touch for a confidential and free consultation with one of our specialist solicitors.

She still looks OK, but she's starting to go downhill. She was a lot hotter ten years ago.
Also, lots of Colombian women look WAY better at her age. I know several that are over forty and have nice, tight bodies and MUCH better looking faces than Sofia.

However, I'm sure she has a bunch of freckles on her ass too.
Either way, she'd look a hell of a lot better without all those damn freckles.

We have been receiving a few scattered cases of outbreaks from a file labeled snkb00ptz.exe or snkb0ptz.exe, but it seems to be on the rise.
It's normally considered poor troubleshooting to use the file name for any type of identification of a threat, but recent examples have made this practical. Even though these files were detected as many different threat names and families (Trojan.gen, w32.IRCBot.NG, Downloader, etc), the cases all reported the same behavior and symptoms.
After some additional investigation, Symantec Security Response has broken out detection for W32.Inabot. That's short for the Insomnia IRC bot. More information is available from the makers of this threat in their manual, here: http://pastebin.com/dvpu8Zwb
For those of you familiar with W32.Changeup, much of this threat's behavior should seem familar.
II. THREAT DETAILS: Note this section is being updated with new information as we find it. (BN)
- Creates the following registry entry so that it runs every time Windows starts:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\"[RANDOM KEY]" =
"%UserProfile%\Application Data\[RANDOM CHARACTERS FILE NAME].exe"
- Gathers information from the compromised computer and sends it to the remote attacker.
- Perform the following actions:
- Spread itself through removable drives
- Spread itself through network shares
- Download and execute other malicious files
- Perform distributed-denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks through UDP or TCP flooding
Known Aliases:
- Win32/Dorkbot.AM [Microsoft]
How it spreads: Note this section is being updated with new information as we find it. (BN)
- W32.Inabot uses AutoPlay (autorun.inf) files to launch remotely.
- W32.Inabot copies itself to open shares, hides legitimate folders, and then imitates folders in the share.
- W32.Inabot current iteration does not appear to be also using vulnerabilities to spread.
Common file names:
- snkb00ptz.exe
- snkb0ptz.exe
Communication for the current w32.Inabot campaign:
- e.eastmoon.pl
- gigasbh.org
- gigasphere.su

Symantec Endpoint Protection:

Intrusion Prevention System
Applying the 5 Steps of Virus Troubleshooting to a W32.Inabot Outbreak AKA
Inabot Battle Plan
Step 1. Identify the threat
- See above, but don't guess. Submit the files if you're not sure.
Step 2. Identify infected machines:
- Machines with Auto-Protect alerts should be scanned with up-to-date definitions.
- The entire network needs to be audited for unprotected machines, out of date machines, and infected or likely infected machines.
- Traffic on the ports or to known W32.Inabot domains is a good indicator of a potentially infected machine. See W32.Inabot
- Protecting and managing fileservers is often the key to solving any outbreak scenario. - unprotected NAS devices are at risk!
Step 3. Quarantine the infected/unprotected/under protected machines:
- Unprotected and under-protected machines need to be removed from the network until cleaned and protected.
- Unprotected machines should be returned to the network only after being protected, checked for suspect files, and scanned clean.
Step 4. Clean the infected machines:
- Infected machines need to be scanned clean. Safe Mode is not necessary, just a basic Full System Scan.
- Don't forget file servers. This bears repeating.
- Folders may have to be manually renamed or unhidden
- These changes cannot be done as part of the automatic repair routine of Endpoint, as many users have intentionally hidden folders or disabled automatic Windows Update.
Step 5. Prevent future outbreaks:
- AutoPlay is a spreading mechanism for thousands of worms and should be disabled. Microsoft has moved to this position as well.
- An "Open Share" is any share that does not require a password to access. Password-restricting shares can slow or stop a worm like this in their tracks.
- Remove write-access on shares from users not needing this level of access.
- Maintain a strict patching regimen. Inabot and threats like it often add new capabilities in response to new vulnerabilities.
- Infected customers should block the Command and Control (C&C) servers or they quickly will become re-infected with new variants.
- Upgrade to SEP 12.1 with SONAR and Download Insight

I liked this very much, it is not too sweet as I think many normal milk chocolates are. Not sure if it qualifies as vegan though, since it has honey in it.. Not an issue for me, but thought I´d mention it anyway. Will buy again!

Perfectly crunchy dairy-free chocolate. Love that this is with crunch and not just plain chocolate (most dairy-free chocolates are just plain). Tastes very nice; like actual milk chocolate! My new favorite :)
Love it!

I have been having soy and dairy allergy and had avoided from any kind of chocolate bar for over a year. This is just an awesome after-lunch treat for me to enjoy. The taste is great. Thank you.

Mercedes were ahead of the pack in meeting the challenge of Euro-6.
In 1993, the European commission introduced the Euro-1 legislation for trucks and busses to regulate the amount of harmful pollutants vehicles over 3.5t with diesel engines are allowed to produce. Euro-6 is the latest diesel engine emission legislations from the commission and is arguably the most significant update to emissions standards since the introduction of Euro-3 in 2006.
The 2012 Truck of the Year just got a whole lot more accessible
Mercedes have recently released a brand new animation celebrating the humble van. The video is a long over due hat tip to the van and highlights how it has shaped modern life. The video which is just under 2 minutes long is a brilliantly concise potted history of the van, from its initial inception all the way through to todays modern vehicles.
At the annual Dusseldorf Caravan Salon Mercedes launched the new Marco Polo Activity "recreational vehicle". With the release of the Marco Polo Activity Mercedes is looking to offer VW camper van fans a viable alternative to the classic camper.
There's no doubt that Mercedes is deadly serious about competing with VW's much-loved camper. The new Marco Polo Activity seats or sleeps up to five people in a two up, three down formation so it's perfect for young families or small groups of sports enthusiasts and outdoor types.
At the start of the year the government officially announced plans to scrap the tax disc and the abolition date of Wednesday 1st of October is now just around the corner. Don't start celebrating just yet, you're still required to pay vehicle tax but the paper disk you have dutifully displayed in your van windscreen is to be phased out and replaced by a digital system.
IMPERIAL Holdings SA, owners of IMPERIAL Commercials, one of the UK's largest independent commercial vehicle dealership groups and Orwell Truck & Van Ltd, a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle dealer based In East Anglia have purchased the entire share capital of S & B Commercials PLC from the Holmes family. S & B Commercials is a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle franchise dealer located in North London, Hertfordshire and Essex. The four principal sites are located in Welham Green, Hatfield, Stansted and West Thurrock. The business employs around 275 people.
Welcome to a new series of conversion articles where we'll be looking at unique and extreme Mercedes-Benz van and truck conversions. The first article in the series starts with a look at clever advertising through the use of custom wraps on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter which, with its large panels, is ideal for customising.
Mercedes-Benz introduced the first Actros in 1995 and it has gone on to become their flagship haulage truck, consistently staying ahead of the pack with a succession of modernising updates. When Mercedes introduced the most recent Actros in 2012, the German automotive giant not only maintained the high standard set by previous models but ushered in a new benchmark for long-distance haulage transport. The latest Mercedes-Benz Actros quickly received rave reviews and recently cemented its market-leading credentials by winning the Motor Transport's 2014 Truck of the year award.
The demand for good quality used vans continues to surge, consistently outstripping supply and forcing the prices of vehicles up. Some figures suggest prices for used vans have risen by 3% between August and September in 2013 alone. That makes it all the more important to choose the right van for your needs and make sure you're getting value for money. Here are the most popular types of used van that tend to be purchased for commercial use:
In conjunction with a seller of premium spirits and a taxi advertising company, a fleet of Mercedes Vito vans helped launch a major cocktail competition in Edinburgh.
The Vito vans, which are most commonly used as black taxis in big cities such as London as well as Edinburgh, have been recruited by Hi-Spirits as part of Buffalo Trace Distillery's taxi campaign to raise awareness of the Edinburgh Festival Cocktail Competition.

- Technical Information
The BEST!Wow! I became interested in this type of faucet after seeing one at Home Depot then started my internet research. This is when I found Signature Hardware and their awesome selection. This faucet cost a bit more than the one at Home Depot but there is NO comparison. This thing rocks! It came promptly and well packaged. I can hardly believe how heavy it is. This is the real deal - commercial grade for home use at a fair price. Easy to install and the water flow is great. Looks fantastic! Buy this. You won't be disappointed.
Engineers ViewOverall I love this faucet. I actually had to nearly close the under-sink water flow valves to keep this thing from being too powerful! The action on all handles is nice and I haven't had any problems with function for about a year now.
One small flaw:
When you rotate the spring hanging sprayer it will either slowly start to loosen its connection to the body of the faucet, or it will be resistant to staying in the position you would like it to hang in. The fitting is supposed to allow rotation but when you tighten it down it introduces more friction and the spraying is hard to rotate. The fitting holding the sprayer on will also loosen itself over a couple months and leak very slowly when you use the sprayer until you notice and tighten it up. Tightening the fitting only takes seconds every couple months but if there could be a set screw or jam nut to hold on this fitting, that would be ideal.
If you want a nice faucet similar to industrial kitchens I have been very pleased with this one and it was the nicest faucet I could find.

Exclusive: Part 3 The MugshotTanya Young Williams
What actually prompted the now infamous domestic violence travesty at the home of Deion and Pilar Sanders on April 23, 2012 is replete with "he said" "she said" drama. What is not in dispute is that Deion had his 10 year old son for four days and his mother, brother nor sister had seen him. What is not in dispute is that Pilar was attempting to see her son when all hell broke lose. What is also not in dispute is that Pilar Sanders, the mother of three young children, was arrested on April 23, 2012 for misdemeanor domestic violence against her husband, Deion Sanders although she suffered visible injuries.
Dr. Lisa Cheryl Thomas, a renowned pianist, who has been teaching the Sanders children piano for nine years. She was at the Sanders home to give a lesson to the eldest child. Dr. Thomas testified during a protective order hearing on May 4, 2012 that she heard a loud scream from Pilar in the area of the master bedroom. She said the boy immediately became visibly upset and told her this wasn't a good day for lessons. Thomas said she heard glass breaking and commotion in the hallway. "Deion was screaming over and over 'Get out of my house! Get out of my house!' " she testified. Dr. Thomas didn't see either Deion or Pilar in the house while she was at door with the boy. "I just kept standing there, and he kept begging me to go," she testified. While sitting in her car deciding what actions to take, the Prosper County police arrived in response to the 911 call they received from inside the house (testimony from police indicate that there were eight calls that day to 911 from the Sanders home, most were hangups and Deion's voice could be heard on two calls). Dr. Thomas said she called police the next day when she learned Pilar Sanders had been arrested. "I said you should not have arrested her," Thomas said. She said she told the officer what she saw but they had yet to take her sworn statement.
Deion has given numerous interviews and testified during the protective order hearing that he was the victim in the fight and Pilar was the aggressor. He testified that he only touched her to restrain her and defend himself. Not surprisingly however, Pilar has a very different version of events. Although she has testified in court, this interview is the first time that she has given details of what she alleges transpired in her home on April 23, 2012.
Q: Please describe the violence that took place in your home on April 23, 2012.
A: "After Deion closed the door so I couldn't see or talk to my son, he then opened it and jumped towards me in a taunting, frightening manner. I said, 'what are you going to do?' And he closes the door and I see him pushing (my son) into the closet area and closes that door. I cant see my son anymore and then he shuts the door on me. I call him a bitch. Then the door opens and he charges me like he's running out of a tunnel on the football field – straight to my throat – completely off guard – drives and slams me into the glass double door by my neck. I'm kicking and scratching any where that I can get him off of my throat. I put my hand under his fingertips and I'm able to wiggle out of his choke. He picks me back up by my neck and throws me around … I'm screaming at the top of my lungs and now he's rushing me into the bedroom – off of my feet – solely by my neck. He pulled me around the sitting area, I can't breathe anymore … I grab the elbow of the statue with one arm and try to grab the double doors while he still has me. It's very heavy, and I'm tipping it. With whatever bit of breathe and strength I have, I'm giving it all I got because I don't have many more 'gots' left. He grabs the statue. I look at him like 'you gotta be kidding me' and I just cover my head and close my eyes and boom, boom, boom. He's just hitting me with the statue and with his hands. He wasn't doing a Superfly Snuka (the famous wrestler) over my head with the statue, he was just tipping, tipping it on my head … He lies and says he didn't hit me or choke me and this is why I'm sitting here with a broken arm and a smashed thumb with a pin in it."
Q: How are your children dealing with the constant drama in the house?
A: Its very unnecessary drama. I'm sure it's very confusing because they have been attached to me like glue. They are one of my extensions. Then all of a sudden in March you are getting all of this attention from a man that you always wanted attention from and now he is giving it to you but they don't quite understand because at the same time he is throwing their momma under the bus. He is really nasty. I don't know another word to describe him that will surpass "nasty".
Pilar is also suing Deion for slander and assault. The assault stems from him allegedly instructing his aunt, whom Pilar states was ordered by the court to stay away from her home, to go to the house. The undisputed end result is that two grown women had a violent, physical altercation in the family home. "She played the recording the next day and thought it was so funny. Then he took her on (radio shows) and introduced her to all these radio stations as a fifty year old woman who beat up your wife". He tried to get me thrown in jail that night. They cuffed me and had me sitting in the front of the cop car in front of my house for two hours. But because I had the entire incident on 911, they had to let me go."
Q: Where do you see yourself in the immediate future and five years down the road?
A: I have businesses and I've been working for a minute. I have a perfume line and a T-Shirt line and some savings but I've been using everything since September when he cut us off, and my family and some friends have helped me out. Moving forward, I want to work more in depth in TV and film for sure – acting and writing. It was something that I did before we were married. He knew that after the kids were older it was something I wanted to get back into. I have a business plan and I want it to grow with clothing, fragrances and beauty products. I want my children to see me grow an empire for them. A have a lot of fun things that I do with my daughter and my mother and my sister. Fun things that are passed down through generations – beauty and skin care secrets. Most importantly, I want to go further with my babies and their talents. They all play the piano and are musically inclined. I want them to experience great things and see the world. The divorce can't happen soon enough for me.
Deion Sanders denies any physical abuse towards his estranged wife and is unaware of the incidents she cites. He also asserts that he has always wanted the prenuptial agreement to stand, thus he did not offer Pilar the assets, excluding the house, and custody of the children. Deion's representatives have stressed that he loves his children equally and prides himself on being a good father.

I witnessed this ominous cloud hanging over southern Auburn around 6:00PM on Oct. 21st. It turns out to be what is know as a SCUD cloud that is created when severe wind sheer along with cold air down drafts from a cumulous cloud overhead aare present. This cloud went all the way to the ground and was probably close to a quarter mile wide at the base.

From: "Peter F. Patel-Schneider" <email@example.com> > Yes, but my point is that this logical interpretation is *not* RDF > entailment. It is, instead, RDFS entailment. I still fail to see why it is important for us to classify entailments. It's just going to over complicate stuff needlessly. If my agent knows the rules for rdfs:subClass, than it can arrive at legitimate entailments, if it doesn't know those rules, then it can't. Why can't we just agree not to bother to classify entailments? What added benefit is gained by classifying entailments? http://robustai.net/mentography/rdf_entailment_pfpsQ.gif Seth RussellReceived on Thursday, 30 May 2002 12:59:03 GMT

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

More thrills and spills for adventure seekers and families – the Thriller Cayman is described as 'the world's most exciting tour boat' and the high-speed experience is said to be like riding a rollercoaster on water.
http://www.thrillercayman.ky/ has more information.
Based on the busier stretch of Grand Cayman (i.e. Seven Mile Beach), this is one of the most fun trips in Cayman, especially for guests who may be concerned with keeping the children entertained.
The Reef advises that you plan your thrill-seeking for a day when there are few cruise ships in town so you don't have to fight through the masses.

It's October 1st.
It's been an amazing summer. There has been so much great stuff that has happened to me this summer. Quite a few things stand out for me.
1. My family reunion /wedding. It just felt like such a fulfilling experience because I went in with a new attitude of appriecating my cousins and aunts and uncles as unique, amazing and part of my world. It was awesome to begin there.
2. Doing a research study in Ghana. As the experience is settling in. I'm realizing how much it's expanded my worldview. I'm seeing things from another perspective. My eyes are open to how my experience and culture isn't the center of the everyone's experience. I also have felt enormous support from my family and friends.
3. I'm more active than ever. I've started up physical activities I used to do in my 20's. I laugh as I say I"ve reawakened my inner athlete. I'm playing tennis regularly, I'm biking to work. I went backpacking last weekend. I love it. I'm exhausted today and sore from yesterday's trip, but I fel great!
4. Having my mom visit and us having a great time. We did fall back in some old roles, but I came out of it all feeling like we have renewed our friendship.
I may have strived for other goals, and my intentions a little different, but it truly has been a new and fulfilling summer.

The "Reggie, Reggie, Reggie" chants will sprinkle through Springfield next Friday, and a familiar voice may be leading the way.
News broke on Tuesday afternoon that inducting Reggie Miller into the Basketball Hall of Fame on September 7th will be none other than his sister Cheryl, along with Charles Barkley and Magic Johnson.
Pacers joins fellow Indiana player Mel Daniels among those to be inducted in the Class of 2012. Daniels will be inducted by Artis Gilmore and Wayne Embry.
Miller had the unique distinction of playing all 18 of his NBA seasons with the Pacers, scoring a franchise-record 25,279 points while also hitting 2,560 three-point field goal attempts-which was an NBA record when he retired. He also dished out 4,140 assists during his time with the Blue and Gold.
Drafted 11th overall by the team in 1987 out of UCLA, Miller ushered in the most successful era of the franchise during their time in the NBA. He helped the team advance to four Eastern Conference Finals in the 1990s and eventually the NBA Finals in 2000.
Honored often by the chant of "Reggie, Reggie" by fans at both Market Square Arena and Bankers Life Fieldhouse, Miller appeared in five All-Star games as a member of the Pacers and also helped the United States to the Gold medal in the 1996 Summer Olympic Games.
Following the end of his career in 2005, Miller's number 31 was retired by the Pacers.
Only three times did the Pacers miss the playoffs when Miller donned their uniform, and it was there that he delivered his greatest performances. In 1994 the guard earned national acclaim when he scored 25 fourth quarter points in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals to help the Pacers beat the Knicks in Madison Square Garden.
One year later, Miller pulled off a feat that remains in NBA lore to this day. On May 7, 1995 in Game One of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Knicks, Miller stunned the crowd by scoring eight points in nine seconds off a pair of three-pointers and two free throws.
The quick barrage gave the Pacers-who trailed by six with 18.7 seconds to go in the game-an improbable 107-105 win. Indiana would go on to win the series over New York in seven games and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.
Getting past that point, however, was difficult for the guard who lost four times in the step before the NBA Championship series in the 1990s. Miller would finally help the team break through in 2000, when the Pacers beat the Knicks in six games to advance Indiana to its first NBA Finals.
The Pacers won two games in Indianapolis during the championship series against the Lakers, but Kobe Bryant andShaquille O'Neal were too much as Los Angeles won the series in six games.
Miller would again get the Pacers back to the conference finals in 2004 only to be upended by the Detroit Pistons in six games. The following season Miller retired following another loss to the Pistons in the playoffs, this time in the second round.
Since his time away from the Pacers Miller has become an analyst for NBA and NCAA coverage on the Turner networks.
