Twitter rules! Why? Because I had the opportunity to respond to @danmartell twitter invite to chat for 30 minutes in @namesake chat room. I was one of the lucky 24 people that were able to grab the wonderful gift of time!
Knowledge is to be shared so with @danmartell permission to post this, here is the full transcript of our chat. Huge thank you to Dan for sharing his time, knowledge and especially for being candid.
Chat transcript in raw format so you have to bear with it, don't have time to edit. I have to go outside to talk to random people
1 hour ago • Mention Evan • +1
I've never hosted .. so bear with me.
Who's here?
Everyone that has a green by it
Hey Rick
on the right
Hi there!~
So how does this work exactly ?
How do I make this a public / private convo? Private (invite only) but public for everyone to see?
why not just post the transcript of it after the fact? or do you want it to be live?
@Rick Fillion can you do that? if so, then that works.
Where is @Brian Norgard when you need him.
Hey all. Steve with murfie.com here. Excited to hear Dan drop some knowledge.
If you haven't seen this .. it's going to help shape the conversation – I want to focus on Startup Marketinghttp://udemy.com…startups
lol… i dunno… I've never used namesake, but I figure a copy/paste can't be too hard.
What's up guys
thanks for the time, Dan
Sounds great.
@Dan Martell what are the top level buckets/ways a startup can use to get users?
Brian Norgard (Founder of Namesake) is a friend and a Flowtown investor .. so wanted to use his cool tech – it's pretty awesome!
I'm a web apps guy, and this web app is solid.
Very cool – glad to be here – feel like a cool kid;)
@Ethan Bloch (who's my co-founder – great question. I like to start by asking your friends – after you've explained to them what you do – for referals.
"Live comment scrolling" is causing my window to jump up and down – I'm in the latest version of GOOG Chrome, argh. "Error: Unable to load /conversation/private/11a87e6-11e0-9def-12313f014066/comment status:0″But looking forward to the convo
Once you have a solid based of customers (ask for $1 or more – then focus on building renewable marketing channels like social media accounts, blogs, and "press".
@Dan Martell How do you leverage celebrities that are already using your service to gain more early adopters.
@Dan Martell Normally Brian or Andrew would simply create a conversation then make it invite only, so the world can still view it. Now we are in a private – invite only convo, so only we can see it Still fun though!
@Ethan Sopenski ideally you reach out to them when they sign up for the app, thank them for their time and ask for any thoughts / feedback / etc … try and get them on the phone. Once you listen to them, implement or fix something, then reach back out and ask for a testimonial.
@Dan Martell so names/users you got for free (asking for an email address on download, for ex), not as useful?
@Nick Frost ah, got it .. will need to talk to them about the convo settings. I'd like to make it public but invite only to pariticipate.
@Dan Martell How have you leveraged YouTube, if at all, as a a marketing tool?
2@Rick Fillion free users don't teach you anything .. asking for a $1 seperates the real entrepreneurs from the rest.
1@Dan Martell any advice on reaching out to customers (for interviews) where the solution is a reactive purchase (e.g. computer repair)
@danmarell I'd argue that that depends on what hte business model is. but yeah, i see your point.
@Dan Martell Hey Dan, I saw on your website that you specialize in tech start ups. I have an idea that I ran by with Rick and I think it has some potential. What are my next steps to help validate my idea?
@Rogtung I've helped my brother leverage YouTube http://youtube.c…ellhomes (local Home Builder). Marketing is all about: Know, Like, Trust, Buy and hopefully Refer. Youtube gets you from 1 to 3 really fast.
There's a whole marketing aspect to my idea and I think you'd be the expert in this.
@Evan Morgan start with a guess as to who your customer might be, make a list of 20 people, then pick up the phone .. seriously, it's that simple and something you can validate in a day. Ask @Ethan Bloch we do this all the time.
Hi everyone, glad to be on the chat
@Dan Martell Does the Dropbox method of launching grassroot through Hacker New, Digg, Reddit still work?Minna Van 51 minutes ago • Delete Comment
@Rick Fillion maybe, but most first time Entrepreneurs don't know why they do what they do .. so I always suggest getting $1 first, then adjust.
@Dan Martell How do you keep tract of all your connections, what tools do you use to keep track of your network?
Anyone working on mobile apps and have tips for standing out amongst 500,000 other offerings?
@Minna Van it's not as potent as it once was .. but it can be done. I think Zaarly did a good job at that (although you need to insure your product rocks when you do open it up).
Oh, and it's zuluMe (my app) and I do charge;)
@Dan Martell back to what you told @Evan Morgan . What if your idea is for the business (entrepreneur) community, are you not concerned about someone taking your idea and running with it?
@Ethan Sopenski I use Evernote and create lists for different cities and categories .. mainly just keep first name, email and info about them. Super old school. The key is not how I store them, but leveraging them. I focus more on outcomes than process.
@Dan Martell Is hackernews still one of the best way to get feedback on projects? Any other channels you would suggest to get solid feedback?Minna Van 48 minutes ago • Delete Comment
WTF is up with Tim O
@Eric Strait nope, you do more harm than good keeping your idea to yourself. Trust me, tell as many people as will listen, and see if it sticks. If it doesn't, consider adjusting.
1@Eric Strait If someone is more concerned about your idea than their own, then how can they be a credible entrepreneur?
@Dan Martell How would I go about pitching my idea to an angel investor ?
2@Minna Van hackernews is for geeks .. every app I've built is for people – I go to where they are. Usually in the streets, malls or sitting in a restaurant/coffee shop. I really think entrepreneurs should stop hiding behind a keyboard and talk to real people face to face.
Dan, given your comment that "the pitch is your URL", do you have a preference on how to build landing pages? I'm partial to Unbounce.
@Dan Martell if you're working on something that's for consumer: any tactics on how to start a conversation and not come off as a weirdo? E.g. I could sit in a park or mall, and start asking people "hey, do you have a computer problem", but that might come off sleazy
@Brian Hayashi I'm an angel investor in Unbounce, so thank you . I meant a working prototype. Startups are not about Landing Pages. It's too easy to build something – if you don't have a prototype then you're not serious.
@Dan Martell Thanks, that takes the biggest relief off me ever It makes me fill better that I'm not about to waste $15,000 of my own money for a "who wants this" product.
I might be in a unique situation here… 2 years down the road, several hundred k $ invested… when do I know "enough is enough" and it's time to jump to my next idea?
@Nick Frost nice point Nick.
1@Jay Liew your assuming customers don't do preventative repairs on their computers. You might want to partner with a local repair shop and pay them for leads to route through your site to test.
1@Dan Gould Martell Is there any way I could talk with you about my idea? I am looking for an angel investor.
@Dan Martell Thank you! Will slowly crawl outside to talk to people :pMinna Van 43 minutes ago • Delete Comment
@Dan Martell** Is there any way I could talk with you about my idea? I am looking for an angel investor.
@Rick Fillion the customers will usually tell you. At the end of the day, Entrepreneurship is an Art. There's no one answer for that.
@Minna Van it's awesome … you'll have fun. Just stop people and ask them for 3 seconds to give advice on a new company "Your friend is working on" (so that the feedback isn't filtered).
@Dan Martell I agree prototypes trump landing pages — but what about using landing pages to triangulate interest and determine pivot points?
@Evan Morgan I only review investments made from close friends I trust .. if you can get through that then I'll review what you've got.
@Dan Martell Any analytics tools you highly recommend when first launching a web service?Minna Van 40 minutes ago • Delete Comment
2@Brian Hayashi FUCK LANDING PAGES . Talk to people. Pick up the phone, go outside, email someone. When did doing a tech startup become about landing pages? I could spend 1 hour learning more about my market by picking up the phone then you will configuring a landing page.
@Dan Martell LOL
@Minna Van Google Analytics is pretty awesome if you configure it properly with events and goals.http://kissmetrics.com rocks and I've been playing with http://totango.com
I have found that my targeted market is people in college, or just finishing college, would you suggest that I go to campuses and ask if they like it?
@Ethan Sopenski absolutely .. if you can print of wireframes or have some mockups on an iPad/laptop – that'll help as well.
1Dan – this past weekend at LSM you said something to me that stuck really well "If you want to become a real entrepreneur, you must do all the things that the wannabe entrepreneurs are afraid of doing"
@Dan Gould Martell who can I talk to ?
@Ethan Sopenski and bring pizza. Or food in general. I've done hour long studies for a few slices (in college).
@Dan Martell ** the site keeps changing the name, who can I talk to?
@Evan Morgan if you can't figure that out – then you probably will have a hard time with your startup. Just saying .. I live a very public life, with my friends tweeting at me, list on Facebook / LinkedIn, etc.
Twitter, facebook, linkedin, youtube,- Rank the order of importance to you as a startup marketing tool
that was for @Dan Martell
@Garrett Dunham great suggestion .. best way to have them come to you – #food
I'm a bike mechanic, do you think if I put up a sign free bike maintenance at a campus I would get people to come over ?
Facebook Ads (I run stuff everyday for $5), LinkedIn cost 2x per lead but very relevant .. the other stuff is more for inbound marketing.
@Ethan Sopenski I have worked with college students for a while and have configured teams in dorms for almost nothing, so let me know if you need any help (and no I don't want any money)
1@Ethan Sopenski what about scheduling a bike ride/meetup and asking your target market while getting some exercise?
@Ethan Sopenski just stop people as they walk by .. yes, I know it'll be scary at first – but trust me, doing a startup can be way more intense .. so start getting use to it =)
@Dan Martell what are your thoughts on leveraging text (sms) marketing for industries like golf clubs, resorts, etc?
@Greg HIckman I've never ran sms marketing campaigns .. so can't say.
@Dan Martell Would the Hubspot approach to inbound marketing (i.e. getting ppl's email addresses to send them relevant content) necessarily work for B2C startups? Instead would it better to have the content available to them without an email address but drive them to our website?
Thanks everyone, i'm copying and pasting it all
@Yoseph West inbound marketing is great .. but takes a while to build up a presence, traffic, etc … if you're a startup – it's best to leverage your network to get early users, then build some kind of social invite flow to amplify those users. B2C should be more about product then inbound marketing.
@Yoseph West Good question
@Dan Martell You've advised calling once a week to talk someone in the Valley to get advices if your meetup is elsewhere but at what point is it necessary to move to the valley?Minna Van 32 minutes ago • Delete Comment
@Dan Martell you're running facebook ads for $5? I'll have to look into this more. What kind of tests are you running? (Or is it straight marketing?)
@Dan Martell Ooops I meant businessMinna Van 31 minutes ago • Delete Comment
@Minna Van it's not necessary to be in the valley – but it may be 2-3x harder to get funded or hire a certain level or engineer. I personally believe great entrepreneurs can do it from wherever … problems are problems and you'll still need to solve them here or there. If you build something awesome outside of the valley, that usually means you'd be a weapon if you moved here!
@Garrett Dunham I'm running ad copy test .. to see what benefit statements work best (by looking at the CTR's and CPC's).
@Dan Martell what has been your most effective marketing strategy so far?
@Dan Martell any good books you recommend for startup marketing, or just anythign startup?
or blogs
@Dan Martell I'm sure that works for mass consumer apps that don't require a high level of trust. We're a finance app and building trust with consumers is priority #1 to ensure we're successful. Any ideas of how else we can do this? We're kind of avoiding press until we hit p/m fit
@Nick Frost Thanks
@Garrett Dunham for us, our blog and Facebook
@Rogtung I would highly recommend spending $100 bucks and run ads on every platform you can to learn what's available. Then I read Inbound Marketing by @Dharmesh Shah – he's a genius. Doing is better than reading.
@Rogtung Steve Blank's: The Four Step's to the Epiphany, Patrick Vlaskovits': The Entrepreneur's Guide to Customer Development, and Alexander Osterwalder: Business Model Canvas. Get those to start.
@Dan Martell what are your recommendations for bootstrapped startups that are trying to get the business off the ground while having a full-time job?
@Yoseph West I would argue the trust is almost on the same level .. what's the difference between read only access to a bank account vs. full on access to someones Facebook account?
@Greg HIckman Work hard.
2@Greg HIckman set a small revenue goal that's 3 months out in the future – then post it to your Facebook wall and tell everyone you plan on hitting it. Then report weekly how you're doing.
1I love how many people have joined .. just wanted to say thanks to everyone!
@Dan Martell Umm, fair point. But, we're actually recommending / valuing stocks. Surely that requires more trust than worrying about an app spamming your facebook wall?
@Dan Martell awesome. that is good advice! thanks for doing this! great stuff!
@Dan Martell Thank YOU for taking the time to answer our questions!Minna Van 23 minutes ago • Delete Comment
@Dan Martell Whoa, that'll be accountability! I think that most folks would be afraid to validate their revenue goals via Facebook updates.
@Dan Martell same here! thanks Dan for putting this together
Thanks @Dan Martell for setting this up, it was fun to see all these questions.
@Dan Martell Thanks a million Dan! I love how candid you are!
@Eric Strait He's even cooler in person
Good luck with the new venture! I think it's a winner!
@Nick Frost The truth doesn't lie
Haha too bad I couldn't be at lean startup machine this weekend – would have liked meeting Dan and everyone.
@Nick Frost Freaking A, I would love to see that! LOL!
We should all let namesake know how cool this was
Me too! Great discussion – thanks Dan
4I might do another one of these in the future .. good luck with everyone's startups. If you're an Entrepreneur – take a bow. You're a special person .. don't ever forget that. Most never start.
Just wondering, is this convo logged forever? we can comeback and read this?
@Dan Martell thanks again let us know if you're going to do more!
thanks Dan!
Thanks for your time @Dan Martell
@Nick Frost By the way, the BetaCandy shirts are ready and look freaking awesome!
@Rogtung Yep, forever.
@Eric Strait Thanks! And just so you know everyone, BetaCandy.com is kick-ass.
@Nick Frost Haha, yep I agree
@Dan Martell Any chance I can get my last question answered? "Umm, fair point. But, we're actually recommending / valuing stocks. Surely that requires more trust than worrying about an app spamming your facebook wall?"
@Dan Martell Thanks for your time Dan! See ya at the next LSM, hopefully in LA
How do you get your startup on betacandy?
@Ethan Sopenski Ask me, but message me privately please, we don't wanna dilute this convo on Startup Marketing.
What are some projects some of you are working on?
@Nick Frost ok cool, sorry
@Ethan Sopenski No worries
Mike, I was thinking about that last night while watching Paul Graham's Office Hours from Disrupt. Seems like if you get 1 big company on board, others will follow suit.
Blake that's my impression as well
@Mike Caprio You can try one of Bill Rancic's moves and send some kind of gift to the company and see if you can connect somehow that way.

We arm AND train the enemy, then send our boys and girls in to fight them... It backfired in Afghanistan, among other places, and it may backfire here.
We. Are. Stupid.
We've done this for years. I can remember when Arab and Israeli pilots went through fighter pilot training together in TX. Knowing that within a few months they would be seeing each other again, except this time through active gun sights.
Just keep electing the same lawyer type politicians and this cycle will end bad....................IMO.
We could start with our doubledealing "ally" Pakistan.Quote:
The peak of stupidity!Are we ever gonna learn?
BBC News - Bin Laden, the doctor and $33m in aid
as long as we are making money
I was going to say "We aren't stupid, they are". BUT collectively as a country," we" are stupid, because "we" keep putting these weenies in office. If "we" want to look more intelligent, "we" need to put more thought into who "we" vote for. No more voting for a person based on gender, race, snappy dresser or fast. flowery talker, but on what they have said and done in the past. No more hollow, fairy tale promises and minds filled with mush (or worse). "We" need to put the best choices in on all levels of government. We are fighting the actual dummies who put no more thought into who they vote for than ordering a burger at McDonalds. The ones who say "Read me another bedtime story, Barry".
It'll always be that way as long as we continue to elect profit whores in key positions of government.
I remember one of my uncles that served time in Vietnam ranting and raving about some of the stuff that went on there. He served with an engineering unit that ended up blowing up a bridge somewhere in Vietnam. He ranted about the fact that alot of the steel used on that bridge came from Bethlehem Steel here in the U.S.A. because some of it still had manufacturers markings on it. That wasn't so bad in itself, until he went back a few years later to do same thing over again. Anyone want to guess where the steel came from? Bethlehem Steel. It seems that we had sold the enemy the steel not only the steel for the first bridge, but also the steel for the second bridge. It wasn't the first bridge that he got upset about, but the second one. He can tell that story today and he still gets totally disgusted.
Where there is confusion there is money to be made. War, is confusion. I never understood why we would blow a county to smithereens and then rebuild it after it was all over...until one day I woke up and realized that its not about right or wrong, or principals, or honor, or anything other than money. Its all about money and its the only thing that some people in high places care about. Nothing else matters. When you finally see the light, then, and only then do things start making sense.
Of course, that is not the way it is supposed to be, but that is the way it is. When you elect public officials that have no principals, no morals,and care only about how much money they can make, thats what happens. Looking the other way when a President commits adultery, or a Congressman breaks the law and gets away with it, or overlooking anything that is immoral and wrong and saying its their buisness and not ours or whatever feeble excuse that one uses to justify wrong and eventually, you'll get the goverment that you deserve.
I couldn't find the "like" on this, but I LIKE.
My older brother was in the Air Force in Vietnam. He played trumpet and sang in a on base club when not on duty. Came home with a pretty penny. He said that the on base clubs, as well as other on base civilian enterprises, were owned by Lady Bird Corporations. This was 68-69. Yep, LBJ's wife owned them. Being the only "safe" place to go for entertainment, they shoveled in the money besides money given to them by the government for being there.
I am sure this is not the only example of this kind of "money grab" by the people making the decisions.
I contend that we are NOT at the peak of stupidity. Plenty of room to go yet.
The military industrial complex likes to make money. In order to do that, they need customers. With the American military shrinking in size, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan drawing to a close, orders for weapons and weapons systems are reduced. So, they look somewhere in the world where trouble is brewing and lobby politicians to be allowed to sell their weapons there. They aren't concerned with whether it's in the best interest of the United States or not. They are concerned with what is best for their companies. If the United States eventually falls, they will just move their company to whatever country is left standing. Politicians, who receive campaign contributions from these companies along with lucrative consulting deals when they leave office, don't really have the best interests of the United States at the top of their list either.

I've found that the longer you lager your ginger beer, the drier it will taste. Just don't cold crash it and lager at room temp. After a month or so, you shouild have a dry, ginger champagne.

KNIB assists in tree canopy renewal
Lori Gummow, executive director of Keep Northern Illinois Beautiful, planted trees to further restoration in New Orleans last week during the annual Keep America Beautiful (KAB) Conference attended by affiliates nationwide.
"By planting these trees, we help renew the tree canopy; by expanding community greening initiatives, we restore our entire economy," said Gummow. "Damage to 70 percent of New Orleans' urban canopy (100,000 important trees) by Katrina created an urgent need for reforestation and made the city an ideal location for this year's meeting."
Affiliates reinforced KAB's emphasis on community restoration by planting trees in the western New Orleans neighborhood of Pigeon Town.
"Renew – Restore – Regrow" was the theme of the meetings this year, and conference sessions focused on sustainable gardens and tree maintenance, furthering Keep America Beautiful's national "g.r.o." initiative started in 2010 to train and educate local organizations in practices for restoring community green spaces. In-depth training included, in part, the planting and care of trees.
"The transformation of public spaces impacts our environment as well as human behavior," Gummow said. "Advocating for the urban forest truly impacts productivity, property value, safety, health and infrastructure savings." For more information, visit www.knib.org or call (815) 637-1343.

A group of House Republicans planning Senate campaigns next year took different bets on a bill in Congress ending a government shutdown and avoiding a default. For some, a general election loomed large while for others, the vote was a matter of competing for conservative primary voters.

Six Makeshift Pantry Meals
You know the scenario: You arrive home late, need to put a meal on the table, and haven't gone grocery shopping. Rather than going out to eat an expensive dinner, stay home and whip up a last-minute meal from the ingredients right out of your cupboard! Here are six of our favorites.

Those all look pretty good and want to try them. Well except for the spanish spagehetti...I just can't get behind that one.

Yum, your shells with Tuscan tuna looks marvelous. I'm printing off the recipe to try next week.
Our go-to quick meal is usually omelets. We always seem to have eggs and then the fillings can be assembled from leftovers, veggies, any kind of cheese, and my favorite topping - salsa.
6 years
I want to add Goulash to the list!
Mix browned ground hamburger, can of tomatoes, and pasta together! I usually throw it all in a baking dish, top with bread crumbs or cheese and bake for 5-10 minutes.
Super quick and doesn't even taste like a pantry dish at all.

i've been there soooo many times. you just don't have time to go to the store and you end up with the most random foods ever in the pantry. lucky for me, i'm usually a veggie person, so if i don't' have them, then i choose to starve! just kidding. i almost always have some type of soup in the cupboard - so that's my saving grace.
the other day though, my fiance made something that was random - it was chicken and veggies and curry and he put peanut butter in it too. i don't know if that was intentional or he saw it unused in the cupboard and figured that we should use it. (it was a bad tasting natural version of peanut butter so we haven't eaten it but couldn't bring ourselves to toss it)

Willpower apparently can be bought. The chance to win or lose $20 a month enticed dieters in a yearlong study to drop an average of 9 pounds -- four times more weight than others who were not offered dough to pass up the doughnuts.
Many employers, insurers and Internet programs dangle dollars to try to change bad habits like smoking or not exercising, but most studies have found this doesn't work very well or for very long.
The new study, performed with Mayo Clinic employees, was the longest test yet of financial incentives for weight loss. Doctors think it succeeded because it had a mix of carrots and sticks -- penalties for not losing weight, multiple ways to earn cash for succeeding, and a chance to recoup lost money if you fell off the "diet wagon" and later repented.
Incentives are "not like training wheels where people learn healthy habits and then will continue them on their own" -- you have to keep them up for them to work, said one study leader, Dr. Steve Driver of Mayo in Rochester, Minn.
If you're looking to set up a system like this at work or among friends, the key is to make it self-sustaining, Driver said. The Mayo study did that by having people who didn't lose weight put penalties into a fund that paid rewards to those who did.
It's also a good idea to make people pony up in advance. One woman flew into a tizzy when she stepped on a scale at a weigh-in and was told she'd have to pay.
"She headed for the door" but later came back and paid, Driver said. "People in Minnesota are pretty honest.
Driver will discuss the study this weekend at an American College of Cardiology conference in San Francisco. The group released results Thursday, March 7. Mayo paid for the study and Driver owns stock in Gympact, a company with an Internet program that gives financial incentives for exercising.
The diet study involved 100 obese employees at Mayo Clinic but was not a workplace wellness program. Half were given weight-loss counseling, monthly weigh-ins and a three-month gym membership. The others had those things plus financial incentives.
The aim was to lose 4 pounds a month up to a goal that depended on their starting weight. If they failed, they paid $20 into a kitty. If they succeeded, they got a voucher to collect $20 when the study ended. Part of the kitty was used to pay the rewards. The rest was put into a lottery that anyone could win, whether they had made their goals or not.
"People saw that if they stuck with it, they had a chance at winning more than they had lost," Driver said.
Participants in the financial incentives group also earned $10 a month and lottery "tickets" for coming to monthly weigh-ins and texting their weights to study leaders each week, said Dr. Don Hensrud, preventive medicine chief at Mayo. So people could have lost as much as $240 or won as much as $360, plus what built up in the lottery fund.
After a year, 27 of the 50 financial incentive participants came out ahead, moneywise. About 62 percent of them completed the study versus 26 percent of the other group. The incentives group lost a little more than 9 pounds on average, compared with 2.3 pounds for the others.
The cash was a big motivator for one study participant -- Audrey Traun, 29, a lab training specialist who dropped 40 pounds, from 215 pounds to 175.
"I was impressed. I didn't think I was quite capable of that," said Traun, of Kellogg, Minn. As the study went on, though, the cash became less important, and "it was actually more motivating to see my progress -- pounds lost and how my clothes were fitting," she said.

unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

re: unicode possibilities
I have to think about it.
The use of English as the standard language is prefered so that the information is useable by most lispers.
I don't mind some other language content though.

Clustered ID with the WG on disappearances and the SR on freedom of religion or belief
Check against delivery
Geneva, 1 March 2012
Statement by Austria
Thank you Mme President.
Mr. Bielefeldt,
Austria attaches great importance to the respect of freedom of religion or belief which constitutes one of our thematic priorities during our membership in the Council.
We are deeply concerned about growing discrimination and the rising number of violent attacks against members of religious minorities and their places of worship in many parts of the world. In order to promote and create a peaceful environment with regard to religious freedom and belief, the issue of recognition is of utmost importance. Therefore, Austria welcomes this year's focus of your report.
We share your assessment that it is important to clearly distinguish different meanings within the above-mentioned concept in order to avoid possible misunderstandings which could negatively affect the implementation of freedom of religion or belief or even undermine its status as a universal human right.
With regard to the issue of privileged status positions for certain religious or belief communities, we believe that people who have chosen a religion that differs from the majority need particular protection. In addition, we fully support your idea that States should ensure that no religious community has, de jure or de facto, the possibility to exercise a veto or otherwise influence the decision to register or not to register another religious or belief group.
In your report, you have stated that States should offer appropriate options for religious or belief communities to achieve the status of legal personality at domestic level. Have you identified good practices examples in this regard which you can share with us?
Finally, we would like to thank you for the in-depth analysis and reiterate our support to your mandate. During the High-Level Segment last week, we have organized a side event on "Rising Restrictions on Freedom of Religion or Belief" which aimed at leading an open dialogue on the protection of the right of freedom of religion or belief and possible additional efforts the UN's human rights system could undertake to foster its universal enjoyment. This clearly demonstrates our commitment to the issue.
Mme President,
Please allow me to express our deepest appreciation for the important work of the working group on enforced disappearances. We are concerned by the working
group's finding of a continuous pattern of threats, intimidation and reprisals against victims of enforced disappearances, including family members, witnesses and human rights defenders working on cases of disappearances.
Austria welcomes the important standard setting work of the working group this year cumulating in the adoption of a general comment, which concluded that enforced disappearance represents a paradigmatic violation of the right to be recognized as a person before the law. We would welcome if you could further elaborate on the content of the general comment. In addition, we would be very interested to learn more about your cooperation with the committee on enforced disappearances.
I thank you.

If you plan to buy a new iPhone 4S that Apple recently introduced, or any other smartphone for that matter, you might be one of the millions of customers who will walk into an AT&T retail store this month. And if you do, you'll notice some major changes that the brand has recently implemented. Many of the changes are physical—less clutter, innovation centers, warm colors, and much more. But the most important changes involve the way customers are treated.
I recently had an insightful conversation about customer service with Paul Roth, President of Retail Sales for AT&T. Roth is responsible for the customer experience delivered by some 26,000 employees at the more than 2,300 stores that AT&T owns and operates.
When the iPhone was first introduced four years ago, Roth and his team were inspired by their partnership with Steve Jobs and decided to raise the bar on the customer service experience. "We set a goal to become America's premier retailer," Roth told me. The company decided to accomplish the vision by differentiating itself around the customer experience. According to Roth, "There was a strategic reason for it. Networks and devices continue to move toward parity and, as a retailer, you have two choices. You can be the cheapest or you can have the best customer service experience in the industry. We chose to focus on the customer."
After talking to Steve Jobs—who is passionate about the customer experience—and conducting a ton of research, AT&T developed a 6-step process dubbed the AT&T Retail Experience. After listening to Roth describe these six steps, I'm convinced that they will work for any retailer or any service company seeking to improve the customers' experience with the brand.
6 Steps to Better Service
1. Greet and approach. AT&T store employees now greet customers within ten feet and ten seconds of entering the door. Roth challenged me to visit any store and so I did. Employees at the first store didn't greet me in ten seconds. They made it five seconds! Employees greet you and introduce themselves by their first names. Once they know you on a first name basis, they'll have started to make a deeper, emotional connection with you.
2. Build value. An employee will ask the customer specific questions to understand the purpose of their visit.
3. Offer solutions. This step is key. Roth has consistently communicated the notion that AT&T is not in the business of selling products. They are in the business of selling solutions. Customers don't walk through the door to buy a phone. They are interested in sending email, text, enjoying music or sharing video with their kids. The wireless industry had always been considered a "transaction" oriented industry. Roth and AT&T decided to turn that concept around and to focus on understanding the customers' needs.
4. Gain agreement. Roth is proud of the fact that AT&T has a very low return rate. Roth believes it's due to this critical fourth step. Employees must make sure they have helped the customer walk out with the solutions they were looking for. They are even taught to educate the customer about solutions/benefits they were not aware even existed. This step cannot occur, however, unless the employee asks the right questions in the previous steps and develops a rapport with the customer.
5. Walk out working. This is the educational step. If a customer walked in wanting a phone to text her kids, the employee will show the customer how to take a photo and send it as an SMS. Employees will even set up a customers' email in the store.
6. Thank and depart. An AT&T employee will thank a customer and walk them toward the door. Why? Because that's how you would treat a guest in your home. "We have an expectation that an employee will thank the person for being an AT&T customer, walk them to door, and wish them a good day. As simple as it sounds, it rarely happens in the service industry," says Roth.
Roth said retail store customers valued employees who were "smart," "friendly," and "fast." AT&T now trains all employees to be certified small business specialists and they are expected to know all about each of the mobile operating systems (smart). Employees are hired for attitude (friendly). "Former teachers do a terrific job of understanding the customer, educating the customer and adding value to the relationship," says Roth. Employees are also walking the floor with specially equipped iPads to swipe credit cards and email receipts. A customer doesn't even have to stand in line to see a cashier (fast).

Oct 15, 2012, 12:10 PM | |
Plow, my comment on the power hd analogs is that you should buy two extra ones because out of seven you might have five that work well. I had horrible luck with the power hd 1711mg's (micro). They were very strong and fast as specified but were truly awful at centering. I ended up replacing three out of the four with hs85's before I had a plane that flew well.
I checked the reviews at hobbyking specifically looking for centering problems. Most of the reviews don't mention it but I did still find some that did. They will probably work out well but buy two or three more than you need. At that price you can afford it without breaking the bank. |
Oct 15, 2012, 12:14 PM | |
I have these in my slick and they are truly awesome! Of course they are 3x the price but I think they compete fairly well with any of the top brand servos in the same class.
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...dProduct=19919 |
Oct 15, 2012, 12:18 PM | |
I've used a number of their servos, including the plastic gear 6001 hb which would strip out a lot. I've also used the 1501 mg Snowdog, and they are hit or miss. The 6001 MGs work well. I'm going to put them in my Twist. I used to get them from Tom at PlaneAddicts but he's out of business now.
Oct 15, 2012, 12:20 PM | ||
Oct 15, 2012, 12:24 PM | |
Sounds like you have experience that we don't have. I had some 1501s as well. Didn't love them even though all of mine centered fine. They are heavy and slow. I have not tried the 6001s but I might now based on your recommendation. My slick is all on hv but the 6001 might be a good option for throttle and I have regulators that can turn the voltage down.
I have never heard anyone say how happy they were that they bought towerpro servos though. |
Oct 15, 2012, 12:44 PM | |
The 9001MG were so nice I almost cried when that Extra that had 5 brand new ones in it exploded from that lightening strike. The 1501 seem to burn out shortly after they stall for a bit... Jon tested a few and the constantly puff smoke. The ones in the Elevator in the video of my SHP are HD servos <9150MG digitals> and are ok..222 ounce, little slow. The seem loud to me when moving.

well, what's more insulting or pretentious? ... people who wear Che T-shirts, or douchenheimers who punt to lazy assertions that anyone refuting their wacko RW rhetoric must somehow be a Che fan?
You must have ignored all of NEPAtriots's threads At least this one might start some spirited debate, his were just idiotic temper tantrums
Not at all ... politically correct should apply to all. That Che is trendy clothing is disrepectfull. Che was not a warrior, he was a mudererer ... no different than any other political muderer in the history of the world. So someday if Bush clothing becomes trendy will you feel the same? How about Cheney or Rumsfeld clothing ... it's all the same IMO.
That's true ... look in my under reported stories thread. Bush and Cheney are directly and indirectly responsible for over 1,000,000 iraqi deaths ... that's a huge number.
The fact remains that people who wear those shirts are almost always trendy douche bags. I'm pretty sure the only counter examples are people who've lost bets. Its not like some young Bolivian with not a penny in his pockets could work hard, save his money, invest wisely and get rich before the USA came along. The squalid, miserable and poor places Guervara blamed America for were all squalid, miserable and poor before we got there.
That's perhaps debatable... But at least back then they were not seeing us assassinating their S. American rulers every 4-5 years or so in convenient plane crashes.
I certainly do not worship those two idiots. For a liberal, you should know not to group people who have a different opinion than you do into one group. That's pure racism... without race being involved.
It's the Rush effect. If everything's racism nothing's racism. So you guys would obviously be in favor of buttons that say "Bush and Cheney Killed People. Stop Worshipping Them You Trendy Douchebag." Right?
Does anyone (in their right mind) really believe that someone wearing a Che t-shirt or whatever condones murder? Is that what this is about? Would any of those people wear a Batista t-shirt? Does anyone know who Batista was?
Hollywood and MTV Liberals love this Creep Che it won't be long before they announce that they have a new hero, this little Scumbag Ping Pong over in No Korea is emerging as someone the Liberal Loons will soon be slobbering and gushing over, they love dictators.

Assassin's Creed: Revelations will launch a "Mediterranean Traveler Map Pack" on January 24, 2012, according to GameStop. The store's page has no further description of the DLC, except for a (potential placeholder) price of $9.99. Ubisoft has yet to confirm any details.
According to the AC wiki, the Mediterranean pack will include new multiplayer maps set in Siena, Jerusalem, Dyers, San Donato, Firenze and the Imperial District of Constantinople.
We'll likely find out more after AC:R's "Ancestors Character Pack" launches on December 13 for $3.99 (320 MSP). That pack will add four new characters to the multiplayer stabfest.

Will the Ohio Healthcare Freedom Amendment End Obamacare?
Description:"If you're going to take away liberty and property, there has to be some sort of due process involved," says Chris Littleton, the head of Ohioans for Healthcare Freedom and a Tea Party leader in the Buckeye state. "In this case, as citizens, we feel that those things are fundamentally inhibited and we want the Supreme Court to hear our case on this." (5:19)

BEAUFORT - Three suspects are in custody in connection with the armed robbery and beating of a 76-year-old man in his BonAire Estates home.
Firefighters with the Bluffton Township Fire District responded to a house fire around 10:30 p.m. Wednesday. "Upon arrival, the first arriving apparatus reported nothing showing from the exterior of the home.
Fourth of July activities include parades, music, fireworks. A plethora of Independence Day activities are available in Bluffton or within a short drive. No public fireworks displays are scheduled for Bluffton, but there will be many nearby.

(B, C, Ab, ACap, LLL, VV, N, SS, A, M) Moral worldview opposed to sectarian & ethnic violence in Northern Ireland with some minor Christian references but containing an unbiblical view of marriage as well as negative portraits of sectarian Christians; 35 obscenities & 6 profanities; moderate violence including two brutal boxing matches, two terrorist bombings, man executed in back of head, arson with child arsonist getting burned, hero physically beaten & threatened, & scenes of a major riot; upper male nudity; depicted adultery & one seduction attempt but no fornication or heavy petting; alcohol abuse; and, miscellaneous immorality such as inciting to riot, intolerance, undermining peacemaking efforts, & violating the rule of law.
Daniel Day-Lewis and Emily Watson wonderfully portray two Catholic lovers who antagonize some extremists in the Irish Republican Army in director Jim Sheridan's new movie, THE BOXER. Sheridan justly condemns the oppressive violence of IRA thugs and other extremists, but wraps this worthy message around a slightly flawed story of a potentially adulterous affair.
The Irish Republican Army takes it on the chin in writer/director Jim Sheridan's new drama, THE BOXER, starring Daniel Day-Lewis and Emily Watson. This suspenseful, well-acted movie has excessive foul language but moderate violence. Sheridan justly condemns the oppressive violence of IRA thugs and any other extremists who sabotage all peacemaking efforts in Northern Ireland. He wraps this worthy message, however, around the story of an adulterous affair containing an unbiblical view of marriage.
Day-Lewis plays Danny Flynn of Belfast, a once-promising professional boxer sent to a British prison for 14 years after helping the IRA fight the English. As Danny explains in the movie, he just got tired of seeing the English brutalize his Catholic neighborhood in their attempts to quell the ethnic strife with the Protestants. When Danny sees that his former neighborhood is filled with concrete barriers and hatred, he joins up with his old friend, Ike Weir (Ken Stott), to re-create their old Holy Family Boxing Club which used to welcome both Catholics and Protestants.
Danny also reunites with his former lover, Maggie, played by Emily Watson. Danny did not ask Maggie to wait for him when he went to jail, so Maggie got married and bore a son with another IRA soldier who also eventually went to jail. Maggie's father, Joe Hamill, heads the political wing of the IRA. Joe is trying to arrange a peace settlement with the British in exchange for the release of some IRA prisoners.
Although Maggie and Danny's relationship in the movie does not become overtly sexual, it angers her son, Liam, and the head of the IRA's military wing, Harry (Gerard McSorley). Harry is also upset by Ike's attempts to unite Catholics and Protestants through the boxing club. Without Joe's approval, Harry arranges the murder of the Protestant police force's Director of Community Relations during the height of a benefit match between Danny and another boxer. The murder breaks the preliminary cease-fire arranged by Joe, and a riot ensues, leading to the boxing club's destruction by some very young arsonists, including Maggie's son Liam. Liam is upset by his mother's betrayal, in thought if not so much in deed, of his imprisoned father.
Tension mounts between Danny and Harry and his henchmen. Danny loses a fight in London because he refuses to continue fighting his opponent when the referee won't stop the fight after Danny's opponent clearly can't continue without serious and perhaps fatal physical damage. Harry calls Danny a quitter, and Ike defends his friend by calling Harry a coward. Harry murders Ike, precipitating a final showdown between Danny and Harry at the end of the movie.
The acting in this film is as good as you're likely to see anywhere. Daniel Day-Lewis and Emily Watson turn in excellent performances as the two romantic leads, Danny and Maggie. Their faces delicately portray a full range of emotions just waiting to burst forth. Day-Lewis seems to falter only once in his portrayal, in the scene where his character displays his biggest rage against Harry and his henchmen. Both he and Watson are wonderfully supported by a strong gamut of other fine performances, especially the engaging, tragic portrayal of good-hearted Ike by Ken Stott.
Besides the unnecessary use of excessive obscenities and profanities, three major weaknesses stop THE BOXER from being a full success. First, the film fails to depict the Protestant side of the conflict in Northern Ireland, thus depriving its audience of a complete understanding of the situation. Secondly, the film says nothing about any of the possible religious aspects of the conflict. It doesn't even tell us how the people in Belfast might use their religious beliefs to cope with the violence and strife. Finally, the movie provides no real explanation for why Danny and Maggie believe it is okay to violate her marriage vows by resuming their romance. Of course, she is legally entitled to a divorce because of the length of her separation from her husband, and Danny and Maggie were lovers before she married her husband, but none of this is clearly presented in the movie. Also, the audience has no idea why Maggie became estranged from her imprisoned husband. This not only is hazy character motivation, it also undercuts any moral justification for Danny and Maggie's renewed relationship. All of these flaws mar the otherwise excellent quality and morality of director Sheridan's efforts.
In Brief:
Daniel Day-Lewis and Emily Watson wonderfully portray two Catholic lovers who antagonize some extremists in the Irish Republican Army in director Jim Sheridan's new movie, THE BOXER. Day-Lewis plays ex-convict Danny Flynn, a once-promising professional boxer who tries to effect reconciliation among Catholics and Protestants by rebuilding a nonsectarian gym with his old friend Ike. Danny also tries to rekindle his romance with Maggie, played by Emily Watson, even though Maggie is married to a jailed IRA soldier. Both activities anger the IRA's military director, who disrupts the cease fire arranged by Maggie's IRA father.
THE BOXER tells the story a man who has the courage to take a moral stand against political terrorism in the midst of an undeclared war. However, besides the unnecessary use of excessive foul language, three major weaknesses stop THE BOXER from becoming a full success. First, the film refers only slightly to the Protestant aspects of the conflict in Northern Ireland and makes some of the Catholic IRA members out to be religious bigots. Secondly, the movie says nothing about any of the religious aspects of the conflict. Finally, the movie provides no real explanation for why Danny and Maggie believe it is okay for her to abandon her imprisoned husband and resume their romance. All of these flaws mar the otherwise excellent quality and morality of THE BOXER.

Featured Book Reality Repair Rx: Knowing What's Up and What's Not by William Cottringer
Featured Book Dream Angel- Heaven Waits by Patricia Garber
I am loving my daily walks:)
Shelter- squirrel in snow, huddle within the walls of the trees, scurry for nuts and leaves to crown your Queen and feed your young, until spring trots along, wearing ruby slippers and a full yellow dress. Contact- reach the other side, where brown rabbits peer over the weeds, their lean bodies move with the sway of the trees, tricking the humans with their sly sweetness. Disappear- the hole in the ground is your castle of dirt, tiny body popping into Mother Earth, making sounds of small and rodent and alive, crawling past these intruding feet, the giant disrupters. Breathe- there is better air here- How do they stay, trapped in metal and steel? How do they stay, trapped with people unreal? Exhale- head in the clouds and sunsets of nature's delights.
