That finding is echoed by the latest Forrester Wave report, in which analysts note that marketers are demanding improved capabilities in content creation, management and especially delivery.
So why is it so hard for marketers to produce quality content and keep the machines humming?
I asked Peter Loibl, vice president and publisher of the Content Marketing Institute. He said, "I think many marketers struggle to produce engaging, steady content because such a large percentage simply don't have a documented content marketing strategy in place."
Too many marketers are taking the scattershot approach. Loibl said that "less than half of B2B marketers have a documented strategy, which validates the fact that while the interest in content marketing has never been higher, B2B marketers who have a documented strategy are far more likely to consider themselves effective."
What's the first step to a cohesive, documented strategy then? "The thing I hear the most from colleagues … is that by assessing the content needs of the end user, a marketer can truly understand what their prospects are thirsting for much better, and even more relevantly, understand their pain points," Loibl said.
"Once a marketer has a focused, documented content marketing strategy in place, a great way to shape and improve upon this direction is to make sure the focus is on the audience's needs -- and not yours -- while arming oneself with clear goals and finite measurement processes," Loibl said.
He advocates enjoying the process too. "Most importantly, have some fun with it. Try new tactics, be different, and don't be afraid to fail. The 'human factor' of good, relatable content may pay significant dividends."
Actual content creation that eases those pain points and delivers relevant solutions can be approached from various angles. "B2B marketers are producing content in a number ways: many have hired traditional journalists to leverage the talents of professionals battle-tested in producing consistent, quality content," Loibl explained, while "others have leaned heavily on marketing departments and in-house staff."
Loibl noted that publishers and media outfits are major sources for branded marketing as well. "Many media companies have leveraged their expertise in their individual vertical segments and have served as a content arm for their customers, essentially creating in-house agencies within the walls of their more traditional publishing operations."
He added that "several content creation and workflow companies have emerged to soften the bandwidth burdens that marketers face, while agencies -- both traditional and content-specific -- continue to play a big role."

Downtown newcomer Little Lotus is not easy to find. It's secreted within the International Jewelry Center, and the only indicator outside is a colorful blackboard sign posted along North Miami Avenue. You might drive by without a second glance, which would be a real mistake. Hidden in this most unlikely of locations is an izakaya (that's the term for the smallish, Japanese-style pubs littered throughout Tokyo) offering a surprisingly large menu of sushi and tapas-style plates that capture the essence of an authentic Asian kitchen.
The restaurant is indeed small. There are only 30 seats (half of which line the outside hallway) plus four stools at the tiny sushi bar. Decorations are modest — no giant Buddha statue or bamboo garden here — but lack of pretension is precisely why Little Lotus delivers such a pleasant shock when it comes to culinary consumption.
In this case, it takes two to make a thing go right. Chef Inyoman Atmaja deals mainly with the hot kitchen dishes, while chef Michael Asalie oversees the sushi bar. The menu might look familiar. Atmaja hails from North Miami's Yakko-San and brings knowledge from that experience to the table. From crispy baby bok choy ($6.50) to trigger fish jerky ($6.50), the crossover is readily apparent. Asalie worked for Masaharu Morimoto in NYC, so his sushi skills were developed while working under one of the greats, and it shows.

Our server warned us up front that the miso black cod ($13.95) was actually Chilean sea bass, which is slightly easier to procure in South Florida. Sweet, earthy miso deeply permeated the flaky layers of white fish, which honestly was as good as any high-end restaurant offering. On the side, a plump little tomato came threaded with a slender straw of Japanese chive; it's one of those plates whose garnishes you should definitely eat.
See a photo slide show of Little Lotus.
The caramelized glaze on the kabayaki (grilled eel, $10.95) delivered a crisp edge while protecting the soft, salty flesh from drying out. The eel was at least an inch thick, yet bones seemed to be miraculously removed without a trace. We were blown away by the Little Lotus version, compared with the same dish we ordered on a recent trip to Yakko-San. Atmaja instructed us to eat the provided oshinko between bites; the pickled radish boasts a subtle flavor that cuts through the eel's richness and clears the palate for the next luscious forkful.
Ginger, garlic, and soy sauce seasoned the squid kara age ($7.95), which was then tempura battered and fried until slightly crisp. The cooked squid had a meaty density not unlike Italian-style fried calamari. Unfortunately, an accompanying side of Japanese mayo lacked luster. A bit more wasabi in the mix could have made the difference between bland and umami excellence. Another dish, panko-crusted oysters ($7.50), came with a side of spicy mango sauce, which might have worked better with the battered squid rings and tentacles.
Rock shrimp tempura in a creamy spicy sauce ($10.95) rivals that of well-known restaurants and is infinitely more reasonably priced than many other versions (for example, Nobu's costs $26). The shrimp was tossed, rather than doused, in sauce, leaving the crisp coating intact instead of soggy — often a danger zone at other establishments.
The only true disappointment was the highly anticipated uni pasta ($12.95). Had it been served in its natural state, the raw sea urchin would have turned into a creamy sauce upon contact with the warm, buttery noodles. Instead, chunks were first sautéed in garlic and butter, giving new meaning to the old saw, "Tastes like chicken." Gone was the briny afterglow that uni can bring; the heaping helping of pasta was an oily mess, with chicken cutlet-like urchin tossed on top. There was no harmony between the noodles and the uni — a sad waste of an expensive delicacy.
Owner Sari Maharai hails from Jakarta, so a few Indonesian specialties round out the menu offerings. A homemade dumpling called pastel tutup ($8.50) is stuffed with potato, carrots, mushrooms, chicken, egg, and peas — sort of an Indonesian potpie. Choose from red, green, or panang curry with beef, chicken, pork, or shrimp. Spicy braised beef with coconut and spices, fried Singapore rice noodles, and chicken simmering in coconut sauce are all available as well-priced lunch specials ($7.50 each).
Sushi rolls have curious names such as "Angel Heart" (eel tempura with spicy tuna, $11.95) and "Big Mac" (crunchy spicy tuna with snow "krab," $11.95). The Hawaiian roll ($10.95) is the kitchen sink of sushi yet works surprisingly well as a conglomerate of flavors. Tuna and salmon compose the inner belly, which is then topped with slices of tuna, salmon, and eel. Crunchy tempura flakes and masago are scattered liberally on top. A balsamic reduction coats the plate, adding a distinct note of sweetness that at times is overpowering.
Little Lotus doesn't sell hard liquor, so don't come here expecting some kind of lychee martini on fire. Go for a simple carafe of hot sake, or ask your server for cold sake suggestions (try the Nigori-style sake in the ice-blue bottle). A limited selection of beers and wines is also available.

Crazy Articles
Celebrity craziness and odd behaviour
Just mail
Twi-Hard jizz sprayed all over the internets last night as photos were released of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson holding hands leaving Paris. I was hosting the Giller Light Bash and my Blackberry, it would not stop buzzing. Ah yes…the hate mail. And, to be fair, some nice mail too. So I'm not writing this post. Full Story
Get you're dirty ass of that balcunny in Paris with Robert Pattinson, HE DOESN'T BELONG TO YOU!!!!!!!!! What's funny? What's FUNNY??? Do you think it's funny to lie and make bad shinaniguns? Because Rob loves her and not you. Just like Bella loves Edward and NOT Jacob. Your not even 2nd best, you are in the dirt and I will kick it in your face. Full Story
Pitt & Pattinson in Tokyo
Horniest place on the planet today? Definitely Tokyo. Robert Pattinson is there with New Moon director Chris Weitz on promotion and Brad Pitt just arrived without the Jolie and the babies sending the Hello Kitties into a lust frenzy from which they may never recover. Here's the Hello Kitty philosophy: if you scream at them loud enough they will f-ck you. Full Story
Robert Pattinson Vanity Fair
I'm gloating. Click away if you can't handle it. Because as I first reported exclusively back in June, Robert Pattinson covers the December issue of Vanity Fair, featured in a series of beautiful photos that explains the mass jizzing… They've been jizzing all weekend over these shots. Full Story
The Royal Family of JailBait
And all those ambitious parents on Toddlers & Tiaras, all of them are taking notes, admiring the latest move by the Cyruses who have written the definitive book on raising JailBait, following up their Miley masterpiece with what could very well be the Mona Lisa of all JailBait... Take a look at 9 year old Noah Cyrus at Jamie Lee Curtis's Halloween party on Saturday dressed as. Full Story
Anna Kendrick comes back to party
She's the only member of the Twilight cast who'll be considered for an Oscar this year and Anna Kendrick arrived in Vancouver yesterday after a triumphant appearance in London in support of Up In The Air for a few final days on set of Eclipse. She looks great, non? Especially after such a long flight. Full Story
Short shorts and set stalkers
It was a quiet Twilight weekend in Vancouver – with paps buzzing around and fans on the stalk, most cast members remained hidden, a few popping out only for brief outings, while the Big Three are now increasingly reluctant to roam around alone and unprotected. You would be too if you had to deal with lunatics who would do anything to get close to you. Full Story
Vampire Seduction
Last night the Twilight Eclipse crew was back to work shooting under a bridge a "Seattle" scene with Bryce Dallas Howard and Xavier Samuel as "Victoria and Riley". Victoria seduces Riley so that he'll carry out her orders to make new vampires. As you can see, they've wigged out Bryce's hair to resemble Rachelle Lefevre's. Full Story
Chicken Fried Crazy back to blonde
And back at the club. They spent 9 hours taking the Chicken Fried from brown back to blonde this weekend. 9 HOURS. And she was brunette for, like, maybe a month? 6 weeks? To me this is not worth the trouble. It is already excruciatingly boring sitting in a stylist's chair, and for 9 F-CKING HOURS? How long does a perm take? Have always wanted a perm. Full Story
Crazy beautiful
Winona Ryder looked very beautiful in Italy yesterday attending the Giffoni Film Festival. Beautiful, and not even so crazy even though she is so f-cking crazy. Love her, but it's the truth. Remember she was all like, yeah we'll be doing a Heathers sequel Full Story
Edward Anthony Masen Cullen
Robert Pattinson? He doesn't matter. Apparently, according to Jackie A from New York, what matters is Edward Anthony Masen Cullen. Who is divine. So the real Robert Pattinson, who wants to be an actor, apart from the Twilight hysteria, is irrelevant? This may not be the perspective of every Robert Pattinson fan, but it certainly is the perspective of a great many Twi-Hard. Full Story
Robert Pattinson's prison
These Twi-Hards…they've turned him into a goddamn fugitive. Every day they line the streets, waiting for a glimpse. And as soon as the glimpse comes, they start screaming. As you can see in this video Full Story
Be careful how you look at him
That's what they're hissing at her… At Emilie de Ravin, as she shoots with Robert Pattinson in New York today on the set of Remember Me, looking up at him beguilingly, so pretty, they are shouting it from every corner of the world: Don't you f-cking look at him like that you bitch! Or I will cut you! Can you hear the Twi-Hards crying? There may actually be someone they hate more than me. Full Story
They are crying today
Because Robert Pattinson has a bruised and bloody face. It's obviously makeup for a scene in Remember Me shooting in New York last night. But we all now know the Twi-hard inability to separate fact from fiction. The same way they truly believe Pattinson is Edward Cullen and should therefore be dating Bella/Kristen Stewart, which means they are probably heartbroken this morning at the site of these photos of their beloved looking like he's been attacked by one of them.

Casualties in Sanbornton New Hampshire
Posted By Dennis On In New Hampshire | No Comments
Casualties or severe accidents in Sanbornton New Hampshire
The Great Bay, before the building of Mosquito Bridge, was the scene of more frequent accidents than in later years, as most of the comunication between Sanbornton an Meredith Bridge was had by means of boats in summer and ice in winter, avoiding the circuitous land route by Union Bridge. The freezing up of the bay was quite an important event in each year, generally about Christmas time; and it may be naturally supposed that people often ventured upon the ice too soon, or before it was sufficiently strong to be safe. Boys frequently got "cooled off" by breaking in while skating, and horses were often lost when their owners escaped. The mouth of the river, or its vicinity, has ever proved a dangerous locality. Here John Knowlton, in the winter of 1858, broke through into deep water while drawing wood to Laconia, with two valuable horses. One of them he succeeded in getting out; the other perished.
We are indebted for some of the foregoing items to "Sketches of Sanbornton Bay," by "W.," in the New Hampshire Democrat of Jan. 20, 1860, from which also we quote the following:–
" Besides the above, there have been almost innumerable 'hair-breadth escapes' on the bay, both summer and winter, such as upsetting of boats by wind; loads of wood, hay, potatoes, etc., breaking through the ice, but generally managing to get out. Mr. Alva Gilman [probably Alba] was once taking a big boat-load of wood down to Meredith Bridge; the wind sprung up so that he had to keep near the shore, when the boat filled with water and the wood floated all over the bay!
"Many years ago Elisha Chapman and Jeremiah Gilman got lost, one dark, foggy night, on the bay, while coming home from Meredith Bridge in a boat. Chapman rowed and Gilman steered. Chapman said Gilman would holloa out to him every few minutes, 'Row away, Mr. Chapman, or we shall sartinly be lost!' Daylight found them near the middle of the bay, having rowed all night. Probably they went round in a circle, as a strong man like Chapman would have rowed to Concord in a night"!
"W." also relates of a certain early settler at Sanbornton Bay that while coming across from Meredith "in a boat, during a heavy wind, he was afraid, and kept praying to the Lord for deliverance till he got near enough to the shore to be out of danger," when his prayer suddenly changed to a thoughtless imprecation of the "Prince of the power of the air."
When the writer first came to Sanbornton from Orford, he brought over the favorite boat with which he used to naviate the peaceful Connecticut. It was a very small craft, flat-bottomed, and rigged with a square sail to run before the wind. Adding a slight keel (a plank fastened edgewise to the bottom, in the centre, and extending half-way to the bows), he launched it upon Middle Bay, and was accustomed for four or five years to take occational rows and sails, — sailing one way and rowing the other, — sometimes to Laconia, sometimes to the upper part of Sanbornton. Numerous romantic adventures and hair-breadth escapes are recalled in connection with these boat rides, from some of which he now regards it as a wonder, to the praise of a kind Providence, that he was spared to write the present record.
Disasters by lightning have not been frequent in Sanbornton. Two only have been noted which resulted in the burning of buildings, both high up on the old New Hampton road; the barn of Thomas McClary on the Winthrop Durgin place, and a barn on the David Brown place, the latter, July 22, 1829. Two dwellings have likewise been struck by lightning within a few years in the Hunkins neighborhood. In both cases the houses were slightly injured, and the inmates narrowly escaped, leaving more in the matter of preservation to be thankful for than in the way of loss to be regretted.

Unemployment rate down 1.2 percentage points from May 2013 to May 2014
June 10, 2014
In May, the unemployment rate held at 6.3 percent, following a decline of 0.4 percentage point in April. The number of unemployed persons was unchanged in May at 9.8 million. Over the year, the unemployment rate and the number of unemployed persons declined by 1.2 percentage points and 1.9 million, respectively.
Measure | May 2013 | May 2014 |
Unemployed (seasonally adjusted) | 11,690,000 | 9,799,000 |
Unemployment rate (seasonally adjusted) | 7.5 | 6.3 |
| ||
Reason for unemployment (seasonally adjusted) | ||
Job losers and persons who completed temporary jobs | 6,094,000 | 5,018,000 |
Job leavers | 944,000 | 875,000 |
Reentrants | 3,326,000 | 2,857,000 |
New entrants | 1,257,000 | 1,062,000 |
| ||
Duration of unemployment (seasonally adjusted) | ||
Less than 5 weeks | 2,704,000 | 2,559,000 |
5 to 14 weeks | 2,642,000 | 2,390,000 |
15 to 26 weeks | 1,934,000 | 1,441,000 |

| ||
Persons not in the labor force (not seasonally adjusted) | ||
Marginally attached to the labor force | 2,164,000 | 2,130,000 |
Discouraged workers | 780,000 | 697,000 |
NOTE: Detail for the seasonally adjusted data shown here will not necessarily add to totals because of the independent seasonal adjustment of the various series. |
Among the unemployed, the number of job losers and persons who completed temporary jobs declined by 218,000 in May, and by 1.1 million over the year.
The number of long-term unemployed (those jobless for 27 weeks or more) was essentially unchanged at 3.4 million in May. Over the past 12 months, the number of long-term unemployed has declined by 979,000.
The number of persons employed part time for economic reasons (sometimes referred to as involuntary part-time workers), at 7.3 million, changed little in May. These individuals were working part time because their hours had been cut back or because they were unable to find a full-time job.
In May, 2.1 million persons were marginally attached to the labor force, essentially unchanged from May 2013. (The data are not seasonally adjusted.) These individuals were not in the labor force, wanted and were available for work, and had looked for a job sometime in the prior 12 months. They were not counted as unemployed because they had not searched for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey.
Among the marginally attached, there were 697,000 discouraged workers in May, little different from a year earlier. (The data are not seasonally adjusted.) Discouraged workers are persons not currently looking for work because they believe no jobs are available for them. The remaining 1.4 million persons marginally attached to the labor force in May had not searched for work for reasons such as school attendance or family responsibilities.
These data are from the Current Population Survey (CPS) program and are seasonally adjusted unless otherwise noted.

I Will say the price as stated above on the new TLX is pretty aggressive - I haven't seen that standard features but one would guess it would be similar equipped to a midrange accord or better, which is better equipped then a 320 bmw and priced less. I really hope they fixed the look vs the TL- I saw a newer TL today and was amazed they waited so long to fix it.

You really should test drive the actual C class, or the A4. Those three have always been the classic three "European Sedans" to test drive. The CLA is a front wheel drive piece of fodder aimed at yuppies who don't know better and just want a luxury car to putter around town in. Yes, the A4 also is normally front wheel drive, but they have spent decades perfecting AWD in their cars. An A4 with AWD is a very good car to drive.
http://www.guideautoweb.com/en/specifications/compare/12087,7634/ A little sobering, actually. The 320i has such a weak engine given the price you pay. BMW should just stop selling it and make the 328i the entry level model. (the 0-60 for the Mustang? not listed, but it's 5.7 seconds)

Yeah....my sister is looking to load one up, I think somewhere in that low $40s range. Out the door around $37K, maybe?
Pickins are getting slim, given the '15s are right around the corner. '14 you get what you get. She wants mineral white with tan leather, plus nag, winter pack, etc. '14 she gets $1K incentive. '15 she has to order, but can get exactly what she wants....no $1K incentive.
Really surprised by the suspension on the CLA......it felt closer to a Cobalt than it did to a Mercedes.....no exaggeration.

If the dealer really wants to make a sell, they will do a dealer trade, take MSRP - 7% this is a good start on any 3 series, then subtract the 1K from that. Now since you are previous BMW owner they might give her another 1K off. Is she buying or leasing? Do you know about MSD's?

how the heck fast do you people need to go? From reading some of these comments I was expecting something akin to my 1985 Colt (68 HP baby! ). But the first 2 links said 6.7 and 7.1 (x drive) with the AT. I guess if that seems dangerous you can always spend a little more for the 328, or a chip.

Stick, the 320i goes 0-60 in 6.7 sec, faster then a Hyundai Sonata Turbo or Kia Optima Turbo that have 274hp. Stops from 60-0 in 106 feet. Overall I'm happy with the car, and extra boost added has given what the 320i needed. Now for 2015, the 320i will get a power boost, officially BMW has not stated what is it, but talk is between 200-210hp, the 328i is also getting a power boost too.
Now the new M3/4 are nice cars, but are they practical? Some people will say yes and some will say no. But BMW wont have a problem selling every single one. But then again, some people are happy at buying a used car while others don't. The 320 has sold very well for BMW and I'm sure it will continue to do so.

Our '03 325i was pretty loaded up.. MSRP around $38K... 184 HP and 0-60 in about 7.1 seconds... pretty quick..
If it's 11 years later, and you can get the same performance from a 320i for the same price? Sounds good to me.... I have a car with 327 HP.. can't say it's any more fun than that '03 325i.

@sweendogy said: Is the 320 really considered a bmw or is it some sort of a mini limo, without leather? - tell yr sis to look at the a3 - get way more standard and a better looking rig-
I seriously considered a3 before going for 320i. I didn't feel a3 to be any more faster (though numbers say it supposedly is) even though I think its 220hp. Also a3 lease was lot more expensive, in the range of 328i or more. But the biggest issue for me was I could not get used to the audi awd system. Never was able to take the exit like I wanted to, had to slow down lot more than I was used to a rwd bmw. But still check it out. You may like it.

Sister is a buyer. She didn't inherit the same car gene as I did. She has had her Jag for over 12 years. So, MSDs don't enter into it.
Her "wants" are a bit different than a "price" buyer......mineral white, tan leather, nav, xDrive. All that makes a loaded up 320i. And, price wise, you creep into 328i territory. But, she's not a speed demon. I think her salesperson hit it on the head when he said the 320i is the car that BMW wants to sell to hook people on the brand, regardless of what they are coming from. Really good suspension and toss able, as it's much lighter than my previous 335i coupe.
Audi is off the table based on hearing of my experience.
C class was underwhelming....still a $45K car with some equipment added on, that felt ponderous compared to the 320i.
CLA......really good looking car.....but in reality that is the ONLY thing it has going for it.
She was shocked that the Jag (XF?) she looked at had a sticker of close to $60K. Not sure what she paid for her "S" type a dozen years ago, but I didn't think it would have been that big of a jump. So, Jag is off the table.
We'll see how this turns out.

Yeah, my '13 XF stickered for ~$65k, but I paid significantly less. Big incentives on '13 XF ($6500, $1975 on '14 in my zip code), if she can find one and would buy last year's model new... Still, with the 6 cylinder, I'd imagine price would still be in very high $40s, low $50s for a '13. But, ya never know...

We live in a little town about 20 miles north of the CBD of Cincinnati. The routes to get from home to the CBD (approximately where my wife and I work), include I-71, looping around from north to south by sort of going east on I-275 and heading down the back road (or so it seems) of Wooster Pike and SR 50.
OK, with that much info at hand, I must say it is virtually impossible to use more than a relatively small fraction of the potential of an S4 or SQ5. I had, for about 5 seconds, thought it would be cool to change out the supercharger pulley and engine management software for more torque and horsepower.
But to what end?
There are so few opportunities where I can push my S4 -- I, so far, literally overtake every other car on any of the above mentioned hi-ways and roads. The "joy" of punching it on a freeway entrance ramp is something I would love to do -- unfortunately the acceleration is so quick (sub 50-seconds to 100kph) I overtake everything and end up hitting the brakes hard.
I wouldn't give up the feeling of deep wells of power and torque that these S cars offer -- but I must say, it has become virtually impossible to "play with" the power offered in a sane and unselfish manner.
Tuning the Auidi S's or the "35" BMW engines would certainly boost their power, torque and therefore increase their "accelerative" force and overall thrust -- but I have now reached the point that I see no merit in chipping, changing out the exhaust system, etc, since I can't use (and enjoy) the factory force available.
I assume the same frustrations are "enjoyed" by certain Cadillac, Mercede, Volvo, Porsche and other "sported up" model owners -- at least if you live in just about any medium to large US city.
You finally get a modern "hot rod" and you literally can only tap into a fraction of its capabilities.
Kind of a drag.

My two favorite cars in the garage are the fastest(MS3) and the slowest(Club Sport). And I have absolutely no problem pushing either to the edge of their respective performance envelopes- that's what HPDEs are for!

I have been to no less than 8 HPDEs and you are correct roadburner, you can push the cars (however the HPDEs I have attended supplied the cars for us, we weren't allowed to use our own). However, I was thinking more of the "everyday" that I "remember" from past years.
I'm not suggesting I want to get on a crowded (and ours almost always are) interstate and floor it, consequences be damned. My "wistful" intents are more to find a relatively deserted stretch where I can "punch it" with the only concern being getting a speeding ticket, not endangering the clog of cars (and their drivers and passengers, of course).
Of our many trips to Germany, some of my fondest memories have to do with taking my BMW, Mercedes or Audi rental on the autobahn and driving from Berlin to Munich where there are some fairly long stretches of the autobahn that have no speed limit.
During those driving moments I had no sense of danger or that our collective high speeds were reckless. Here, as the freeways are ever more crowded and people pass on the right or sit in the far left lane and cruise along below the posted speed limit, driving has become much more like work -- and increasingly risky work at that.
We'll go to an HPDE perhaps once or twice every five years -- always love them, but I guess I'm looking for an American Autobahn -- not gonna happen in my lifetime.
Next up our cars are going to (already are) provide ever more driver aids that take the wheel, accelerator and brake away from us.
Driving and our car culture are changing -- and I am, usually, in favor of the change. This time, however, what I am longing for is my memory restricted return to having fun behind the wheel as we did not that many years ago.
It's the weekend, it's summer -- I'm going to go out and find a curvy "back road" (whatever that means anymore) and carve it up.
I'll get over it in a minute.
There, I'm over it.

Driving at high speeds in virtually a straight line gets boring after a while. Fortunately my job involves a lot of driving and I often choose to take a nearly deserted rural two lane as opposed to a dull interstate slog, which allows me to enjoy the handling prowess of whichever car I'm driving. The Club Sport requires a bit of finesse and the ability to conserve momentum. You have to make sure it is always in the right gear at the right time(fortunately the pedal placement is ideal for heel/toe downshifts). In contrast, the MS3-fitted with Koni FSDs and Michelin PSS tires-simply bludgeons the road to death; just leave it in third gear, turn in really late with a bit of trailing brake, and nail the throttle once you see daylight(or, as I've said before, visualize obedience training a bipolar pit bull that is mainlining crystal meth).
Think of it this way: if the Club Sport is a Steyr SSG 69, the MS3 is a Colt AR-15 with an extended capacity magazine.

Loved the power of both the 335i and the S4. Seems Audi has issues with some of the cars that use recent iterations of their Quattro system, as I've seen mention in some of the trade rags about the same "grinding" issues I experienced.
There wasn't much on the road that could beat you in stop light wars, though. It would have to be a very recent muscle car, and the persin driving it would have to know how to launch. Or, AMG, RS, M, etc tuner cars. Aside from that, not much can touch them.
That said, I do think the TL SH AWD, while not as fast in a straight line vs the S4 or 335i (but certainly more than capable), feels more balanced, confidence inspiring and entertaining in its own right. Then, there's the elephant in the room....the significant price difference
I'm pretty excited to get behind the wheel of the TLX.

The question has to do with whether the drive is the deal, or the car.
I live in the West where it's possible to drive at very high speeds on virtually deserted roads, and I enjoy doing so. I also spend far too much time in commuter traffic, but that can be more pleasant driving the proper vehicle.
That said, the capabilities of most of the "watch me and what I dirve" cars are never even approached, unless you live out here, where there's a bit less of the "watch me" culture. Certainly more than there used to be (which was zero), but not so much.
I continue to watch the parade go by.

Dr. Jacob's research focuses on the management, epidemiology and pathogenesis of sepsis syndromes in resource-limited settings. He is currently based in Uganda as the UW Principal Investigator for a multi-site randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of a management bundle for sepsis in resource-limited studies and to identify common pathogenic pathways of septic shock using a systems biology approach. The research in Uganda is primarily funded through the United States Department of Defense and is part of a larger multi-national research consortium called the Austere environment Consortium for Enhanced Sepsis Outcomes (ACESO) for which Dr. Jacob is the Consortium Deputy Director and Uganda Country Director. As part of this research, he will be describing the epidemiology, establishing clinical correlates, evaluating diagnostics and developing management guidelines for sepsis from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the most common etiology of sepsis among HIV-infected patients in sub-Saharan Africa.
Dr. Jacob is also currently working on a US Department of Defense-funded project to develop and validate novel multiplex point-of-care devices to improve diagnosis and bio-surveillance of tropical infectious diseases. His work on this project involves collaborations with investigators in Peru, Thailand, Cambodia and Northern Australia.
To complement his research, Dr. Jacob has also served as a consultant to the World Health Organization since 2009 as part of various working groups to improve the clinical management of sepsis and other severe illnesses in resource-limited settings. He is one of 8 overall technical editors for the WHO Integrated Management of Adolescent and Adult Illness (IMAI) District Clinician Manual and has helped to develop a related training course focusing on triage, emergency management of severe illness and the clinician's role in disease surveillance, infection control and outbreak response. This training course will be scaled up at district and regional referral hospitals in East Africa over the next 3 years. He also teaches a module on critical illness management in resource-limited settings for the East African Diploma in Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. In addition, in association with colleagues from the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care, he co-founded the University of Washington International Respiratory and Severe Illness Center (INTERSECT).

Di Maria Ready to Snub Manchester United for Champions League Football
The Real Madrid winger reportedly wants to play Champions League football next season therefore ruling out his much anticipated move to Manchester United.
AS reports that Real Madrid President Florentino Perez met with PSG's Nasser Al-Khelaifi on Friday. The meeting reportedly took place in Madrid and it is expected that PSG will pay £48 million for Di Maria.
Previous reports had suggested that Di Maria had already agreed personal terms with the Red Devils but the deal could all go to waste because of the fact that United will not be making an appearance in the Champions League next season.
Di Maria, whose participation in the World Cup final is still uncertain due to injury, was initially keen on joining Louis Van Gaal's side but the temptation of Champions League football seems too good to pass up.
The Argentine has been linked with a move away from Los Blancos as they prepare a bid for Colombian star James Rodriguez. Both Manchester United and PSG are very interested in the winger, with United reportedly offering him £150,000-a-week contract.

My boyfriend said he would love to finger me. But there is no pressure. Thing is he wants me to shave that area to do it.
I have no idea how to do that! with a razor? Wax!? I have no clue. We've been going out for three months so is that too soon? And what if (if i let him) when he does it discharge or blood comes out? That would be really embaressing. How do I guide him to do what feels good and not what hurts? I shouldn't but I'm really paranoid about my body... and my legs and bum have the worst stretch marks on them ever. I don't think he'll mind at all because apparently I'm perfect. But it would be the first time we did something like that and what if he is shocked with how I look without clothes!? I like him so much and I want to be able to let him to do that to me because he said he would love to but how the hell do I shave down there without leaving marks or stubble?

Ernst Tugendhat
Ernst Tugendhat (born March 8, 1930) is a Czech-born German philosopher.
Life and career[edit]
He was born in Brno, Czechoslovakia, to a wealthy Jewish family that commissioned Mies van der Rohe with the Villa Tugendhat in Brno. In 1938 the family emigrated from Czechoslovakia to St. Gallen, Switzerland, and in 1941 travelled on to settle in Caracas, Venezuela.
Tugendhat studied classics at Stanford from 1944 to 1949, and went on to do graduate work in philosophy and classics at the University of Freiburg, receiving his doctorate with a work on Aristotle in 1956. During the years 1956−1958 he did post-doctoral research at the University of Münster. From then until 1964 he was an assistant professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Tübingen, where, after spending 1965 lecturing at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, he gained his Habilitation in 1966 analyzing the concept of truth in Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger.
Tugendhat became a professor at the University of Heidelberg (1966−1975). During the 1960s and 1970s, Heidelberg developed into one of the main scenes of the left-wing student protests in Germany.[1] Because of the student movement and as a protest against the situation at German universities in the 1970s,[citation needed] Tugendhat gave up his position and relocated to Starnberg, where Jürgen Habermas was at the time. In 1980 he moved to Berlin, becoming, like his friend Michael Theunissen, a Professor of Philosophy at the Free University of Berlin. He was invited to give the 1988–89 John Locke lectures at the University of Oxford, but had to withdraw because of ill health.
Tugendhat retired in 1992, but was a visiting professor in philosophy at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Santiago (1992−1996), a researcher at the Institute for Human Sciences, Vienna (1996), and visiting professor at Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic (1997−1998).

Ty Abbott, a junior guard on the ASU men's basketball team, was arrested Feb. 16 by ASU police for driving with a suspended license, according to records obtained Monday.
Abbott failed to appear in Phoenix Municipal court in November for an August incident where he was cited for speeding, displaying suspended plates and not having liability insurance. Court records indicate that he also failed to pay a fine for driving without insurance.
"The situation is being handled internally by our coaching staff directly with Ty," said Doug Tammaro, director of media relations for ASU athletics.
Tammaro said coaches were aware of the situation directly after the arrest, but he wasn't able to comment on the consequences for Abbott, who was likely on his way to practice when he was arrested about 1 p.m. near Rural Road and 6th Street in Tempe.
Abbott was cited and released from the scene. His car was impounded along with his driver's license, which was destroyed at the ASU Police Department.
Under the guidelines of the NCAA and Pac-10, there are no specific policies about athlete arrests, said Jim Muldoon, associate commissioner for the Pac-10.
"Those matters are up to the institution," Muldoon said.
Civil traffic offenses are not a violation of ASU's student-athlete code of conduct policy.
Abbott is averaging 11.9 points per game, tied for the team lead. He has scored 16.5 points per game during the Pac-10 season, including 28 points to lead the Sun Devils to a 73-69 win against UA on Sunday.

This is a great A LITTLE GOLDEN BOOK about the television star dog Lassie with Bob Schaar's illustrations and written by Kennon Graham. It tells the story of Lassie and forest ranger Scott Turner visiting the Smoky Mountains National Forest. One day, while in the forest, Lassie discovered a black bear cub with a tin can stuck over its head. Lassie led him to the ranger station to get help from the forest rangers. The following day Lassie spotted a baby deer that hurt itself on a broken glass bottle. Again she got help. Lassie was determined to do something about the litter lying around the forest before she and Scott Turner left, so that no more animals would be hurt or maimed.
This is a great hard cover or hardback 1971 Lassie Book-- and who doesn't love Lassie.

Spencer Reed and Sam Barclay
It's the HotRods night and the awards are in full swing. With young stud Sam Barclay getting his harness on and socks pulled up, he's getting ready for one hell of a heavy fucking by US superstar Spencer Reed live and in front of the entire club! Collared and chained, there's a reason why Spencer is Best Top 2012 and this is it! With Sam getting throat fucked and arse eaten by our *********** in charge, he's swiftly bent double in front of everyone and ploughed hard by Spencer's famous thick cut cock! Pushed and pulled all the way in and all the way out, there's no denying Sam is feeling every rock hard inch playing with his insides as his neck is pulled back and tight body contorted with each heavy thrust until both men spunk hard, leaving the stage awash with man juice.

Apprenticed Investor: Know Thyself
Statistical evidence suggests a high probability that you underperformed the broader market last year, and most investors will likely underperform again this year. But it's not just retail investors. The pros are barely any better. In fact, four out of five investors will do worse than the S&P 500 this year.
The problem, it seems, is a design flaw.
Indeed, many classic investor errors -- overtrading, groupthink, panic selling, marrying positions (i.e., refusing to sell), chasing stocks, rationalizing, freezing up -- are mostly due to our genetic makeup. Humans have evolved to survive in a harsh, competitive landscape. To do well in the capital markets, on the other hand, requires a skill set that is very often the antithesis of those innate survival instincts.
Why is that? The problems lay primarily in our large mammalian brains. It is actually better at some things than you may realize, but (unfortunately) much worse at many others you are unaware of. Most people are unaware they even have these (for lack of a better word) "defects." The fact is, when it comes to investing, humans just ain't built for it.
Psychology Vs. Economics
In order to understand how humans invest requires more than the study of economics; one also needs to comprehend behavioral psychology. Combining both cognitive science and behavioral economics can yield powerful insights into the conduct of investors.

Behavioral Medicine Clinic treats problem pets
Roger, a 2-year-old mixed breed dog, was wreaking havoc on his owners' home. His fuzzy face had won their hearts at the local shelter, but the first time they left him alone at home, he chewed his way out of his crate, tore open couch cushions, chewed up the remote control and three pairs of shoes, then spewed the contents of the trash bag all over the house – all within a period of 90 minutes! To make matters worse, he had urinated and defecated in the middle of the living room.
The owners thought Roger was acting out, but after careful examination and thorough history taking, Meghan Herron, DVM, DACVB, director of the Behavioral Medicine Clinic at Ohio State, determined that Roger had separation anxiety, a psychological disorder common to recently adopted rescue and shelter dogs. These dogs may go through severe emotional trauma with the abandonment/rehoming process and bond closely (a bit too closely in this case) with their new owners, making separation from the owners difficult, even panic-inducing.
"Through a combination of medication, environmental changes and training, we were able to help Roger's owners implement a plan to get him feeling much more comfortable while home alone," Herron said. "After eight weeks of therapy, he was able to be left at home without destroying things or eliminating in the house."
If you have pets who are exhibiting behavioral issues, we encourage you to consider the Behavioral Medicine Clinic. Drs. Herron and Shana Gilbert-Gregory treat issues such as:
- Human-directed aggression
- Inter-pet aggression
- Separation anxiety
- Inappropriate elimination
- Fear/phobias (e.g., thunder, wind)
- Compulsive behaviors
- Cognitive dysfunction
Initial consultations typically last around two hours and include:
- Physical examination
- Observation of pet
- Detailed written summary and discussion of pet's behavior
- Three months of unlimited follow-up by email or phone
Call 614-292-3551 to reach the clinic. A behavior assessment form is available at vet.osu.edu/behavior.

Premier U.K. Conference Centre Selects ADTRAN To Double Capacity And Expand Wireless Connectivity
ADTRAN®, Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), a leading provider of cloud connectivity, enterprise communications and virtual mobility solutions, today announced that the Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC) has deployed ADTRAN's Bluesocket virtual wireless LAN (vWLAN®) solution as part of its major facility expansion and renovation upgrade project. EICC turned to ADTRAN for a wireless solution that ensured optimal connectivity within a very high density Wi-Fi environment. EICC deployed ADTRAN's vWLAN with high availability software to achieve a fault tolerant Wi-Fi environment, ensuring maximum Wi-Fi connectivity for exhibitors, guests and operational staff.
Already serving 200,000 visitors a year, the EICC is doubling its conference capacity with a 1,600m 2 multi-purpose hall, additional break-out rooms and a new delegate cafe. To accommodate the impact this growth will have on its wireless network, EICC began exploring a cloud-based wireless LAN solution to solve critical capacity, operational and scaling burdens which they were facing with their previous Wi-Fi network solution. ADTRAN's Bluesocket vWLAN solution virtualizes WLAN control and management on centralized software residing in the cloud, enabling EICC to avoid the substantial expense and operational constraints inherent with traditional WLAN hardware-based controller solutions.
With traditional hardware controllers, IT must manage access points by location while facing prohibitive scaling constraints. The vWLAN control and management software and Bluesocket access points can be located independent of each other – anywhere in the networked world. This provides a more dynamic and flexible solution to address network demands in real time, and supports ten times the amount of access points than a hardware based controller can support. As a result, the EICC benefits from greater scalability, simplified administration, a reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), increased capacity, and integrated guest access services to support its various events. Eliminating Wi-Fi hardware controllers, which can account for up to 80% of the energy consumption in a wireless network, also helps EICC meet its green IT initiative goals set forth by its corporate sustainability strategy.

Katarina Waters (Winter/Katie Lea Burchill) recently spoke with Art of Wrestling about a potential WWE or TNA return and more. Check out the highlights:
On her wrestling influences: "Kevin Nash, a.k.a. Big Daddy Cool Diesel, because I was obsessed with him…"
On whether she'd go back to WWE or TNA: "Perhaps if it was the right opportunity. I enjoyed myself in both places. I just don't know if I would want to be quite so restricted again as I would be in WWE."
On her time in OVW: "OVW was some of the best times for me artistically I think. Al Snow is a fantastic trainer and he and Danny Davis who ran the OVW TV show were always open to ideas and stories we came up with, so we had the best opportunity to build characters and learn how to put feuds together."
On the "strange relationship" plans with Paul Burchill: "Well, the "strange relationship" part never really happened so, instead we started having these inter-gender handicap matches which was really fun. We got do put together so

Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow
The Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT) is a conservative Washington, D.C.-based non-profit organization, founded in 1985. Its stated mission is "to promote a positive voice on environment and development issues". CFACT co-founders David Rothbard and Craig Rucker believed that "the power of the free market, combined with the applications of safe technologies, can offer humanity practical solutions to many of the world's pressing concerns."[1]
Craig Rucker stated that mankind faces a threat "not from man-made global warming, but from man-made hysteria."[2] In 1993, CFACT began a daily radio program, "Just the Facts," which in 2012 reached 5,000 daily broadcasts.[3]
In 1994, CFACT began attending United Nations conferences and World Trade Organization meetings that addressed environment and development issues. It was given recognition as an official non-governmental organization for the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.[4]
CFACT produces online articles and radio segments on environmental and consumer subjects. In 2004, CFACT Europe[5] was founded and provides public policy research, analysis, publications and conferences. CFACT also coordinates the work of affiliate chapters, called Collegians for a Constructive Tomorrow, on U.S. college campuses.
CFACT is governed by a Board of Directors that includes founding President David Rothbard and founding Executive Director Craig Rucker. Prominent staffers include Communications Director Marc Morano, whose primary job is maintenance of the Climate Depot news service; Senior Policy Analyst Paul Driessen, whose book, Eco-Imperialism: Green Power, Black Death, discusses ways environmentalist organizations perpetuate poverty and disease in developing countries; and environmental journalist Duggan Flanakin.[6]
CFACT has a 50-member board of advisors. Among the advisors are South African nuclear engineer Kelvin Kemm; Craig Idso and Sherwood Idso of the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change; Alex Avery and Dennis T. Avery of the Hudson Institute; Roger Bate, director of Africa Fighting Malaria; professor William M. Gray of Colorado State University; Peter Holle, founding president of Canada's Frontier Institute for Public Policy Research; Willie Soon of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics; Vincent Gray, founder of the New Zealand Climate Science Coalition; and Howard Hayden, publisher of "The Energy Advocate."[7]
Total revenues over the past three years have averaged around $3 million, as reported on the organization's IRS Form 990[8] and its most recent annual audited financial statement.[9]
CFACT does not disclose its funding sources. According to CFACT, it is mainly funded by private citizens and has never sought or received money from federal, state, or local governments. As of 2013, it had a three-star (out of four) rating from Charity Navigator[10] and a four-star (out of five) rating from GuideStar.[11]
Environmental issues[edit]
CFACT is a member organization of the Cooler Heads Coalition, which aims at "dispelling the myths of global warming through science and analysis."[12] CFACT chapters have protested in defense of oil exploration[13] and in opposition to the Kyoto Protocol.[14] CFACT supports drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.[15]
Copenhagen Climate Challenge 2009[edit]
During the COP15 conference in Copenhagen, CFACT hosted an outside side event in Copenhagen called the Copenhagen Climate Challenge.[16] COP15 attracted 33,200 delegates, the side event was attended by 60 people (15 journalists, 18 speakers, 27 audience)[17][not in citation given] According to Lenore Taylor of The Australian, Professor Ian Plimer, "a star attraction of the two-day event", attracted an audience of 45.[18]
Utility Air Regulatory Group v. Environmental Protection Agency[edit]
In December 2013 CFACT served as amicus curiae for the Southeastern Legal Foundation in the review of the Utility Air Regulatory Group v. Environmental Protection Agency case.
Their main argument presented was:
The EPA's attempt to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from stationary sources without authority from congress in order to accomplish its preferred policy objectives violates the separation of powers.[19]
On the issue, CFACT policy adviser Paul Driessen commented that:
The real threat to public health and welfare is not climate change. It is EPA and what this rogue agency is doing in the name of preventing climate change. If the Supreme Court allows this, by giving carte blanche authority to EPA, the battle will rage on countless other fronts, because voters are sick and tired of being lied to, manipulated, defrauded, and forced to pay outrageous prices for oppressive regulations.
Democrats say they plan to use climate change to attack Republicans in 2014. I say, Bring it on![20]
The challenges were unanimously rejected by a three-judge panel at the D.C. circuit court, some on the merits and some over issues of standing.[21]
The Supreme Court accepted review of the case and heard oral arguments on February 24, 2014.[22]
On June 23, 2014, the Court reaffirmed EPA's authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act. Justice Antonin Scalia commented "... EPA is getting almost everything it wanted in this case, ... It sought to regulate sources that it said were responsible for 86 percent of all the greenhouse gases emitted from stationary sources nationwide. Under our holdings, EPA will be able to regulate sources responsible for 83 percent of those emissions."[23]

Behind-the-scenes deal pushes immigration reform closer to reality
Page 3 of 3
In 2011, the US admitted more than 2 million temporary workers, a figure that swells to more than 3 million when the workers' families are included, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Roughly half of those, ranging from seasonal agricultural workers to nurses to electrical engineers, could be governed by a new flexible-visa regime.
But deciding which low skilled workers would have an opportunity to obtain permanent residency or, eventually, citizenship, will be a key debate. The groups also have not come to an accord on high-skilled workers.
Liberal groups were supportive of the agreement.
"We salute the notion of using real world data about labor markets and demographics to determine the future flow of employment-based immigrants and temporary foreign workers," said Ross Eisenbrey, a vice president and economist at EPI, in an e-mailed statement. "This is an important step forward for achieving comprehensive immigration reform."
Critics say that fine-tuning such a system is beyond the reach of any government agency.
"It is over-ambitious, but it's more than that," Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, told the Monitor earlier this month. "It's based on an idea that we can manage government by experts. It just doesn't work. Everybody who has tried it everywhere crashes and burns."
The AFL-CIO and Chamber statement does not explicitly put the commission in control of visa levels, offering that such a body would be able to "advise" on such issues. The ideal system would "automatically" adjust to economic changes, according to the principles released Thursday.
"We are now in the middle – not the end – of this process," the groups' statement concludes, "and we pledge to continue to work together and with our allies and our representatives on Capitol Hill to finalize a solution that is in the interest of this country we all love."

Why can i give an image a relative link and it appears in Outlook fine but if I use a relative link for a background image it doesn't appear? I have to use a site link http://www.example.com/images etc..
Is this really necessary or is there a way around this?
Asside from that the CSS style sheets formatted html email etc everything displays fine.
[edited by: tedster at 11:32 am (utc) on June 1, 2004] [edit reason] de-link the url [/edit]
Look at the source of a google-cached page to see how it works.
that worked just fine. Still not sure why background images would be treated differently, so if anyone has an answer would like to hear it!
