I have a challenger with the super track pack, which is a inch lower then a R/T without the track pack.Even with the track pack the car felt floaty like a boat when going into curves and still had a decent amount of wheel gap between the wheel well and the tires.The Eibach pro kit changes the whole car,It takes bumps better and the car now go's along with the curve like it is on rails.Plus it gives the car a more aggressive stance.It lowers the car just enough to not scrape everything as well.

Tonight, Vice President Joe Biden and Representative Paul Ryan square off in the vice presidential debate, but that isn't the only important election related issue to think about today. Now is also the time to learn about early voting options in your state or request an absentee ballot if you or your loved ones won't be able to vote in person on Election Day.
I'm hitting four states in the next two weeks, and I started this swing close to home in North Carolina. Then I visit Florida, Wisconsin, and Minnesota before a quick respite and then I head out again. Since my travels are now in full swing, I recently shared some of my overarching insights over on my Huffington Post blog.

All quotes tagged Intuitions
(209 quotes found)
"There is no logical way to the discovery of these elemental laws. There is only the way of intuition, which is helped by a feeling for the order lying behind the appearance."
"You must train your intuition - you must trust the small voice inside you which tells you exactly what to say, what to decide"
"The moment of truth, the sudden emergence of a new insight, is an act of intuition. Such intuitions give the appearance of miraculous flushes, or short-circuits of reasoning. In fact they may be likened to an immersed chain, of which only the beginning and the end are visible above the surface of consciousness. The diver vanishes at one end of the chain and comes up at the other end, guided by invisible links."
"All great men are gifted with intuition. They know without reasoning or analysis, what they need to know."
"Intuition and concepts constitute... the elements of all our knowledge, so that neither concepts without an intuition in some way corresponding to them, nor intuition without concepts, can yield knowledge."

The Two Doctors was actually 135 minutes! The Three Doctors (but basically had 2 Doctors) was 100 minutes.
Mr Awe
That was my initial instinct too, but, I believe when Starkers says "...75 minutes for 2 Doctors", he's referring to Smith and Tennant in The 50th (No Troughton/C. Baker
in The Two
That may well be the case (Starkers' intent) but the comparisons to the other stories that mainly feature 2 doctors is still legit.
Shoot, even the TV movie (notably referred to as a movie and features 2 Doctors) is 89 minutes.
I'm set to enjoy the special and, as I've said, if it's a good story, I'm sure the running time will not be an issue!

People and search engines love skilled copywriting and content writing
For clients who want to take their marketing to new heights, stepping out of the copywriter role is often both a revelation…and a relief! Copywriting is part art, part science and always essential to marketing success—especially now that "relevance" is such a critical factor in how your web pages are ranked by search engines.
But many clients, despite their in-depth knowledge about their business, industry and/or customers, get stalled by writing the content for their website, blogs, ads, brochures or direct mail. Writing sales copy, or developing content that reflects the "how and what" that your customers are looking for isn't easy.
A copywriter extracts what people need to know, and turns it into words that work.
Copywriters learn to be quick studies when it comes to new industries, digging quickly into the essential terminology, sales levers and key concepts so they can stand in your prospects' or customers' shoes, allowing them to focus your materials directly on their needs. They have chameleon-like tendencies that enable them to adopt a new voice—your company's brand voice—as easily as a skilled actor. They know what buttons to push to make each medium work hardest.
Your marketing program need not be held hostage by a lack of the right words. Just give us a call and we'll provide you with cost-effective options for design and copy that will drive your business forward powerfully.

November 26, 2015
A teen mother who abandoned her abused, dead infant outside a San Antonio fire station has been sentenced to 12 years in prison.
Julie Navejar, now 18, had pleaded no contest to injury to a child by omission.
Her 7-week-old daughter was found in 2009. At Navejar's sentencing Friday, prosecutors said an autopsy showed the baby died from cocaine in her system, starvation and pneumonia.
Navejar told the judge she's sorry and not the same person anymore. But prosecutors said she never mentioned her baby's name in court.
The San Antonio Express News reports that Navejar has agreed to cooperate in the prosecution of her boyfriend, Ramiro De La Rosa. The 21-year-old faces up to life in prison if convicted of first-degree felony injury to a child.

A caricature of "Craig the Spa Man" Hueffner decorates the Cream Puff Pavilion at Wisconsin State Fair Park.
But people have had a tough time finding the real spa man, who owes thousands of dollars in small claims judgments, unpaid taxes and bad business debts.
For years the Spa Man and his hot tubs were mainstays at the State Fair doing business as Master Spas of Wisconsin.
But at least a half dozen consumers have been chasing Hueffner for the past two years, trying to collect thousands in cash after the spa man sold them hot tubs with hefty rebates that were never delivered.
Those who've tried to sue Hueffner in small claims court say he's an expert at wriggling out of his responsibility to pay. He lists different addresses and different business names to avoid being served with court papers, they say, and he stalls in court.
"It was very frustrating . . . a big run-around," said Sally Merschdorf of East Troy, who gave up trying to sue Hueffner last October after spending at least $300 and many hours trying to track him down and serve him with court papers.
The Merschdorfs are just one family that feels burned by the spa man and discouraged by the hurdles they have had to overcome to try to get him to pay up.
No one interviewed by Public Investigator had complaints about the quality of their hot tubs, just problems getting back their promised rebates.
Hueffner's problems began around 2001 when he entered into an agreement with a group called Consumers Trust to offer big rebates to customers. People could buy a hot tub and receive a substantial portion of their money back three years later if they followed specific rebate instructions.
The Merschdorfs, for example, paid $10,608 for a hot tub and say they were supposed to get back $5,000 three years later, according to the sales agreement that Sally Merschdorf signed.
But Consumers Trust went bankrupt in 2005, and many of Hueffner's customers couldn't get their rebates.
On at least a few occasions, Master Spas of Wisconsin kept selling hot tubs with the rebates even when the company knew or should have known that other customers' rebates weren't being honored, according to state records and Leslie Van Buskirk, attorney supervisor for the Department of Financial Institutions.
Consumers Trust was recently the subject of a class action lawsuit for the rebate debacle, but Master Spas of Wisconsin has had to share in the blame too. The Department of Financial Institutions reprimanded Hueffner's company last year for administering the rebate program incorrectly.
After the rebate program started falling apart, nearly 50 people complained about Master Spas of Wisconsin to the state's Consumer Protection agency. The company also has an unsatisfactory rating with the Better Business Bureau because of two unanswered complaints.
A handful of customers sued Hueffner or variations of his company in court and won. Some have had difficultly collecting the judgment.
Kris Davantes has been tracking Hueffner like a bloodhound, trying to collect on a $5,000 judgment she received against Hueffner and Spaman Wholesale Inc. - which is Master Spas of Wisconsin's incorporation name - this spring in Waukesha County court.
She has paid nearly $700 in fees to file her case and serve Hueffner with court papers. She tried to garnishee his company's bank account and got a warrant issued for his arrest so he would finally disclose his company's assets.
Finally in late July, Davantes got a court order that would allow the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Department to swipe Hueffner's 2003 Hummer - license plate "SPAMAN2" - and auction it off to give her cash.
But then the Sheriff's Department told Davantes that the address listed in Hueffner's financial disclosure form wasn't correct, so officials couldn't do anything. Davantes would have to go back to court and get a judge to order Hueffner to disclose his correct address.
That, of course, would mean Davantes would have to serve him with court papers again.
"I'm kind of amazed that a guy driving around in a big Hummer labeled Masterspas, doing business at the Masterspas Pavilion at State Fair, is evidently so hard to find," Davantes wrote in an e-mail.
But that just may be the reality of small claims court.
"People think when they come to court that they are going to get instant relief," said Judge Rebecca Dallet of the Milwaukee County Circuit Court. "We can give what the law allows, but we have no way of getting the money for them. I don't think people realize that."
It's unclear where Hueffner is now.
Some customers say they heard he fled to Florida to sell spas. His lawyer, James Gende, said in an initial interview that Master Spas of Wisconsin and Spaman Wholesale Inc. don't have any assets and aren't advertising anymore.
But the Spa Man's company was out at State Fair Park as recently as this summer. Hueffner had signed a $48,600 contract to hold hot tub sales from January to July, said the fair's communication director, Patrice Harris.
Keith Hueffner, Craig's brother, had signed the contract to sell Master Spas during the actual 11 days of State Fair this year under his own company, Master Spas of Northern Wisconsin, Harris said.
Neither Keith Hueffner nor Gende would return numerous follow-up calls from Public Investigator.
Craig Hueffner worked as an independent dealer of Master Spas, a brand of hot tubs sold by the Fort Wayne, Ind., company.
Bob Lauter, CEO of Master Spas, said he knew Hueffner had run into trouble with the rebate program but said he didn't know about the judgments against Hueffner or customer complaints. He also said his company hadn't sold Hueffner products in six months.
"We have to look at this, re-evaluate it, and probably terminate him as a dealer," Lauter said. "I don't want our customers to be involved with that."
Three weeks later, however, Lauter wouldn't return repeated calls, so Public Investigator could not confirm whether Hueffner was terminated as a dealer.
In the meantime, the Spa Man's troubles with the state are mounting. Spaman Wholesale Inc. is being sued by the state Department of Justice for violating consumer protection laws that give consumers three days to cancel sales contracts in certain situations. The company also owes the state about $79,300 in taxes.
In addition, Spaman Wholesale Inc. owes the Journal Sentinel about $26,000 for unpaid print advertising, which Public Investigator discovered in the midst of investigating this story.
But the Spa Man must have some money left. Neither he nor his companies have filed for bankruptcy.
And last month, Tim Kostusak received $1,000 from a settlement with Hueffner, he said. Kostusak had won a judgment in April for $4,600, but Hueffner's attorney appealed for a jury trial in November.
"It's not much money, but if one person breaks through, you open the floodgates," he said.

Micex Jumps Most in 7 Weeks on Oil; Sberbank, Severstal Advance
Russian stocks advanced the most in seven weeks after oil gained on optimism Europe's debt crisis will be contained and as U.S. Thanksgiving retail sales reached a record.
The 30-stock Micex Index surged 3.9 percent, the most since Oct. 6, to 1,466.22 by the 6:45 p.m. close in Moscow. OAO Sberbank, Russia's biggest lender, jumped 5.8 percent. OAO Severstal, the nation's largest steelmaker, rallied 6.2 percent while oil producer OAO Tatneft added 7.5 percent. The dollar-denominated RTS Index increased 4.4 percent to 1,475.25.
"Record Thanksgiving sales in the U.S. and rumors over the weekend of a $600 billion IMF loan to Italy set a positive note for today's session," Peter Szopo, head of research at Alfa Bank in Moscow, wrote in a report today.
The MSCI All-Country World Index added 3.2 percent at 10:48 a.m. in New York after La Stampa newspaper said the International Monetary Fund is preparing a 600 billion euro ($799 billion) loan for Italy in case its debt burden worsens. That report, which didn't cite anyone, followed U.S. retail data that showed a 16 percent jump in Thanksgiving sales to a record. The IMF said it wasn't discussing a rescue package with Italy.
"This rally, like all others will probably founder as soon as the next sovereign downgrade is announced or the next bond auction flops," Julian Rimmer, a trader of Russian shares at CF Global Trading in London, wrote in e-mailed comments today.
The Micex has lost 13 percent this year, trading at 5.4 times analysts' earnings estimates for member companies. That compares with a 19 percent slide for Brazil's Bovespa index, which trades at 10.1 times estimated earnings, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The Shanghai Composite Index trades at 11.3 times estimated earnings, and the BSE India Sensitive Index has a ratio of 14.8.
Oil Climbs
Oil, Russia's biggest export earner, climbed a second day as the Arab League's decision to impose sanctions on Syria over its lethal crackdown on protesters raised concern about the stability of supplies from the Middle East. Crude oil for January delivery increased $2.60, or 2.7 percent, to $99.37 a barrel in New York.
OAO Rosneft, the nation's biggest crude producer, advanced 5.2 percent to 217.21 rubles. Smaller rivals OAO Lukoil and OAO Gazprom Neft gained 4.2 percent and 2.3 percent to 1,712.2 rubles and 138.97 rubles, respectively.
Rusal, Gazprom
United Co. Rusal, the world's largest aluminum company, jumped 3.6 rubles to 222.71 rubles after announcing on Nov. 25 that it has agreed to buy a 33 percent stake in the trading affiliate of China North Industries Corp., or Norinco, to help boost Asian sales.
OAO Gazprom, the world's biggest gas producer, increased 3.5 percent to 171.97 rubles. The state-run company on Nov. 25 agreed to cut prices for neighboring Belarus as part of a deal to gain the half of that country's gas-pipeline network that it doesn't already own.
VTB Group, the country's second largest bank, increased 3.9 percent to 6.5 kopeks, while the largest, Sberbank, added 5.8 percent to 82.98 rubles after the ruble rallied against the dollar. A stronger ruble discourages Russians from converting savings into foreign currencies.

UPS Study Reveals Broad Use of E-Commerce for Industrial Purchases
Atlanta, May 01, 2014
Buyers prefer online ordering, place high value on post-sales support
A shift is underway for distributors of industrial supplies and the e-commerce experience they provide to their customers. In 2013, more than 63 percent of industrial supply buyers said they made purchases online, with half of those purchasers spending at least 50 percent of their annual budget with e-commerce suppliers.
This preference for e-commerce purchases offers potential growth opportunities for distributors of industrial supplies by reaching buyers who are using the web to expand beyond their existing supplier base. Distributors of e-commerce websites are opening new routes for customers, with 34 percent of survey respondents claiming they made online purchases outside of their existing supplier base in the last year.
UPS, a global logistics leader and TNS, a global market research expert, surveyed 1,500 industrial supplies purchasers in the U.S. to gain a deeper understanding of their perceptions in five key areas of the purchasing process: researching and selecting suppliers; the purchase transaction; suppliers' websites; shipping, delivery and returns; and post-sales service and support.
The vast majority of respondents said their experience with vendors' e-commerce sites are the same (56 percent) or better (37 percent) than the consumer sites they use for personal purchases. However, that doesn't indicate complete satisfaction regarding their experience with either B2C or B2B sites.
Even though industrial supply purchasers are embracing e-commerce, traditional purchasing capabilities are still important, along with best-in-class product quality, purchase visibility and delivery speed. Survey findings show B2B online purchasers still want access to traditional customer methods, such as catalogs and access to a sales representative. Post-sales support was particularly important to respondents, with 68 percent indicating they would be somewhat or much more likely to do business with a new supplier if their website featured post-sales service and support. In addition, 53 percent of buyers stated aspects of the returns process are important, such as including a pre-printed return shipping label with the original delivery.
"Sales representatives and other methods are still in demand, but the study shows B2B and B2C purchasing habits are becoming more similar," said Brian Littlefield, industrial distribution director at UPS. "The findings underscore the need for industrial suppliers' e-commerce sites to offer a positive customer experience, much like B2C companies. With more than a decade of experience in the online retail space, UPS is particularly well-positioned to assist our industrial supply customers with implementing a competitive range of services, as they look to enhance their customers' online purchasing experience."
Visibility in online purchases and shipping
When evaluating purchasing decisions, buyers of industrial supplies identified several benefits to purchasing online. Of those surveyed, 67 percent think the ability to make an online purchase is very or extremely important. When asked about the benefits of making purchases online:
- 64 percent cited knowing shipping costs prior to making an order
- 63 percent selected the ability to see real-time product availability
- 63 percent said the ability to view purchase history, as well as the ability to see the estimated delivery date when ordering
How can industrial suppliers be more competitive online?
UPS can help industrial supply distributors with a complete portfolio of services to effectively compete and make their online presence comparable to leading online sites. The company offers specialized solutions to help suppliers manage services that are the backbone of great e-commerce sites, including:
- Contract logistics, including inventory management
- Shipping, visibility and returns solutions
- Online service and support solutions

Tips For Marketing Your Shop
You may think that your products and services are enough to attract customers to your store. One important factor in promoting and marketing your shop is when you implement an effective shop design. You gain an edge over other stores when you have an effective marketing strategy that would make potential buyers enter your store and buy your products. Here are some tips that you can keep in mind when you want to promote your store.
Window Displays
A good shop design can start with elaborate and colourful window displays. These displays can definitely attract people and make them enter your shop. You can place a few of your popular items and new products on display. It would be much better if you can add a spotlight to the best item you have on display. This will draw a lot of attention from the people outside your store. Your store would also look much better than before because of the various displays.
Use the Right Colours
Most store owners choose colours that they like. However, it can be a good idea if you can start with a theme with colours that represent it. For example, your store is selling summer and beach clothes. You might want to choose colours that can capture the theme of the summer. With the vibrant colours of the sea, sand and sun, you can make the environment of your shop more relaxing and fun for the customers. Choosing the right colours for your shop is a great way to improve your shop design.
Social Media
Almost everyone uses the social media today. Having an account on Facebook or Twitter is important, especially if you want to communicate with your customers and market your shop. You can post updates on all your social media sites to attract shoppers about the latest items in your store. It is also a great idea to post photos of your new items. If you made renovations to your shop, you can let your customers know about it by posting the photo of your new shop design.
Use In-Store Promotion
You can use In-Store promotion to make your customers come back to your store once more. Use signs that will highlight special discounts, promotions or new items. Your sales people can also inform your customers about any upcoming sale to make your customers visit your store again. Flyers and postcards that offer discounts and free samples on the next visit can be given to the customers inside and outside the store. Your customers will easily remember your shop because of your tempting in-store promotions.
Renovate or Upgrade
You have to remember that your store, whether it is a physical store or an online store, should have an overall look and design that is unique and has the ability to build a brand identity. The overall look of your shop should contribute to the business identity that you want to achieve. Choose a shop design that sets you apart from other stores and build a theme that works well with your shoppers and customers.

Junior Suite (obstructed views) (OB): Carnival Elation Cabin Reviews
Carnival Elation Cabin Categories
Suite with a private, large balcony and a queen bed.
Junior Suite (obstructed views) (OB)
Decks: Deck 11
Pleasantly surprised lhc2266Our room (V-27): I booked this for a reduced price, knowing that it had a partially obstructed view. The balcony is actually between a smaller boat and a life boat. So, you still get the advantage of a balcony had a great price. The cabin was larger than we expected. Also, the steward made up the couch into a twin size bed for our son, and kept this made up for the entire trip. We had a small refrigerator, that kept our drinks very cold. There was a thermostat in the room, and a flat screen television. We also had plenty of room for clothes and bags. The cabin was also very quiet. We were extremely happy with this cabin, and would recommend it for anyone looking for a balcony junior suite at a fantastic price.

My cabin said that the view was obstructed, however I was in between life boats and had an actual really nice view. Our room was clean and our Steward Tapa and her assistant Lawrence were on top of making sure we had everything we needed.

LAS VEGAS — The Bulls stayed perfect in summer-league play, defeating the Nuggets, 103-76, on Sunday night at Cox Pavillion on the campus of the University of Nevada-Las Vegas.
Following a slow start that saw them face an 11-1 deficit, the Bulls climbed out of the hole behind the torrid perimeter marksmanship of second-year swingman Tony Snell (23 points) and first-round draft pick Doug McDermott (31 points), who scored a combined 20 points in the opening period to give the Bulls a 32-24 lead, despite Nuggets forward Quincy Miller's (26 points) early hot hand.
Behind the play of Miller, a native of North Chicago, Denver briefly drew closer at the outset of the second quarter, but the duo of McDermott and Snell, along with some physical play from second-round pick Cameron Bairstow, helped the Bulls take a 52-42 lead at the intermission.
After the break, McDermott and Miller went at it, with the Bulls forward, already a fan favorite in Sin City, continuing to showcase his impressive skill throughout the third period, putting the Bulls up, 75-63, heading into the final stanza.
"It feels much better. The game kind of slowed down for me out there. I felt real comfortable, and I'm glad we got the win," McDermott explained. "I wasn't rushing things, and I thought as a team, we moved the ball a lot better. We had 21 assists compared to yesterday — we only had 10 — so overall, our flow was a lot better.
[MORE BULLS: Nikola Mirotic finally coming to Chicago to join Bulls]
"We ran that down-screen action that was giving them some trouble, so whenever you have two shooters like that, it's tough to guard," he went on to say, discussing his burgeoning chemistry with Snell. "That first one, just a little uptight. I was so excited for my first game, and today, it slowed down. It felt more like basketball and just back to normal.
"I just felt way more comfortable. After I hit that first face-up jumper, everything started to open up a little for me, and I just felt a little more confident with my post game."
Bulls summer-league head coach Adrian Griffin chimed in: "Well, I think tonight Doug really slowed down. It seemed like the game slowed down for him, and it was impressive to see how he scored on the inside. He can put it on the floor, he can space the floor. He has a very high basketball I.Q., and that's what these games are about, just to see where these guys are and see how much improvement they need to be ready in the fall."
The Bulls cruised in the fourth quarter, as McDermott continued to torch the Nuggets with help from Lazeric Jones, a Chicago native and Derrick Rose's fellow Simeon Career Academy graduate.

Florida teen fighting criminal charges for same-sex relationship
Kaitlyn Hunt, 18, a senior at Sebastian River High School in Sebastian, Fla., has been charged with two felony counts of ŌĆ£lewd and lascivious battery on a child 12 ŌĆō 16 years of ageŌĆØ stemming from her sexual relationship with a 15-year-old girl, according to arrest records.
Kaitlyn HuntBooking photo
Hunt was arrested on Feb. 16 after her girlfriendŌĆÖs parents filed a complaint with local police.
ŌĆ£She had a mutual consenting relationship with her girlfriend who is three years younger, and her parents had her arrested,ŌĆØ according to KaitlynŌĆÖs mother, Kelley Hunt Smith.
ŌĆ£This is about two teenage high school girls who were dating, and both consenting,ŌĆØ Smith told LGBTQ Nation on Saturday. ŌĆ£They are out to destroy my daughter, because they feel like she ŌĆśmadeŌĆÖ their daughter gay.ŌĆØ
Following the arrest, the Indian River School Board expelled Hunt based on the criminal charges, according to Smith, but said she would be able to participate in graduation and senior class events. She is completing her senior year at an alternative school, and has been ordered not to have contact with her former girlfriend.
Hunt faces the possibility of a 15-year prison sentence, but has been offered a plea deal by state attorney Brian Workman, according to Smith.
Under the terms of the plea deal, Hunt would be sentenced to two years house arrest, and allowed to attend school or work only during that time, one year of probation and attend sex offender counseling. It would be at a judgeŌĆÖs discretion whether Hunt would be required to register as a sex offender.
ŌĆ£We have until next Friday to either agree with an outrageous plea offer, or start trial,ŌĆØ said Smith.
If Hunt rejects the deal, she would face a jury trial in the predominantly conservative Indian River County, and if convicted, would face up to 15 years in prison and be required to register as a sex offender for the rest of her life.
Under FloridaŌĆÖs ŌĆ£Romeo and JulietŌĆØ Law, an ŌĆ£offenderŌĆØ can petition the court to remove the requirement to register as a sex offender if the ŌĆ£victim in the caseŌĆØ is between 14 and 17 years old, ŌĆ£a willing participant in the sexual activity and no more than four years younger than the offender,ŌĆØ but historically the law has only been applied in cases between heterosexuals.
A petition at Change.org is calling on the stateŌĆÖs attorneyŌĆÖs office to drop the charges against Hunt.
Since I've had to write it multiple times.
I did NOT create the title the journalist of this article wrote this title.
And what's really sad is if she is charged she will forever be labled as a sex offender. Poor girl =(
if the 18yr old were a man everyone would call him a rapist but because this case involves two girls people feel bad?! Plz

Gavin Ballas | September 22, 2011 | Comments
Media messages move quickly and integrated direct marketers must be prepared to accommodate further fragmentation to their traditional response channels.
I recently came across an interesting social media strategy from a direct response TV advertiser (DRTV). It was for a self-storage company that is tracking Twitter posts to identify potentially qualified consumers.
By tracking tweets like "So excited to get out of Dallas!" they are able to identify the city within the text of the tweet and then match that up with the identified city on the user's profile. Accordingly, they can determine the length of any move.
The goal is to find consumers moving over 500 miles since these are the most valuable consumers to this company. If they identify a tweeter as being qualified, they can tweet back a discount on their moving services.
For this marketer, these social media interactions are being monetized; but I wonder if there isn't a greater opportunity utilizing an integrated approach that leverages all other media to greater response and ultimately greater ROI from all media.
While there are many DRTV marketers who still view media as a "siloed" venture, the advent of social media further is another example of the need for an integrated approach within this metric-focused set of marketers. DRTV marketers thrive on data, analytics, and constant media testing so online has been a natural fit for them, and now social media is finding its place in the mix. The challenge for the DRTV marketer is figuring out how to convert this discussion into sales and then utilizing other media to increase the volume of discussion.
As greater numbers of television audiences now sit in front of the TV with multiple devices at the same time, surfing the Internet and texting, consumers are carrying out their research and communicating online while they're watching your spot on TV. This creates an environment where media messages move quickly and integrated direct marketers must be prepared to accommodate further fragmentation to their traditional response channels.
In recent years, there have been some moves among DRTV agencies and clients to integrate both the offline and online media functions to varying degrees of success. This strategy makes particular sense when you consider the depth of message delivered in a 60-second, 120-second, or 30-minute infomercial. At its heart, DRTV is generally considered to be a complete selling message given the sheer volume of information delivered in a longer form. But DRTV also drives significant interest from consumers who then continue their research online.
And the trend over the last 10 years has been a rapid shift of orders and leads generated via the web rather than the traditional 800-number. This is especially true for higher consideration and higher priced products and services.
Where does social media play a role for direct response marketers? The very nature of social media creates a cross-channel consumer dialogue. This dialogue must be considered in the creation and development of the DRTV spot and in the measurement and analysis of your marketing mix, particularly in the case with higher consideration offers. But it can be difficult to find agencies with competencies in direct response for both online and offline media, further few who understand social media's place in the mix.
Direct response TV marketers must ask themselves: what types of discussions are my consumers currently having surrounding my product or service? What other messages can our TV and offline media utilize to generate further engagement? The answers to these questions should create a complete feedback loop that can inform creative decisions to drive better results.
Interactive media and social media in particular have reinforced the idea that even direct response marketers must think more like a branding advertiser and consider how consumers will interact with them across multiple channels: TV, online, email, social, mobile, radio, print, and PR.
What do you think? How does social media impact your company's view of integrated marketing?

A chromebook (or chromebox) runs Chrome OS. This is basically a very lightweight version of Linux that runs a Chrome Browser. You do not have the ability to install "native apps", with the exception of recently, it was announced, you can now install some Android apps. The difference between Chromebook and Chromebox is a Chromebook is a laptop, which has a ...
Purchase a mouse which supports multitouch gestures (using which you zoom in or out). e.g. PadKite If you don't want to purchase anything, just go to Dolphin's Settings, tap Lab and turn ON pinch-Zoom Button. Then, you'll find +/- clickable buttons to zoom in or out.
I just briefly read through the manual for your television found at Kogan's website, and as far as I can tell, the only available connection interface other than the typical IR used by remote controls is network-based. That means whatever application you use has to be supported both by the serving device (i.e. your TV) as well as use the local network ...
There are a number of apps, like remodroid, droidmote, tablet remote and even a number of vnc server, most of them requiring root access, and those that don't require root access have fairly limited features.
If your device supports Google TV you could try the Google TV Remote app
Google TV is an old set-top box (STB) product line, conceived as a competitor with Apple TV, using Intel-based hardware and initially without access to Google Play. After a rushed launch and a series of bad product reviews, Google TV had been pretty much abandoned as a product line, and is now replaced by Android TV. In addition, other manufacturers have ...
Chromeboxes, such as Dell Chromeboxes, are essentially small computers with video output. They are designed to run Chrome OS on a larger monitor - think of these as Chrome OS Desktops, whereas Chromebooks are Chrome OS Laptops. Android TV devices, on the other hand, are media devices designed to run a version of Android and deliver media (video, music, ...
No, It simply won't work for a stock android phone. Because the app was created with a tv's resolution in mind so all you would see is misaligned screen or force crash.
The quote I got from here is as following: These Miracast dongles have 'WiFi direct' like this Sony has, therefore you'd not need a router controlled WiFi home network. But if I had a Note I'd look for a Samsung Allshare dongle, just to be sure
There is POWER BUTTON on the TV BOX, its not just to release the camera , its the power button too., After Powering On the device , you need to click it once to boot the Android TV Box. hope this helps.
Yes on Android TV I can play local games without Internet.
You won't be able to do this without being rooted. Lots of custom ROMs (custom Android OSs) will have this built in, or there are apps to do this as well.
You have to be rooted, but any boot animation changer can do this. Here is an example from the play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.boot.animations
It depends on how the Android image you're using was built. When you build a ROM image from the Android sources, you set what drivers are included in the image, according to what target hardware you're expecting to use it with. If you got the Android image from the manufacturer of the TV box, it should have drivers for all the hardware in the device. (At ...
If every video behaves this way, it could be a bug in the display driver for your TV stick. When a video plays full-screen, the video decoder writes the decoded video directly into the framebuffer, a special part of memory that holds the image being displayed. When a video is played inside another window, it instead uses an overlay, which is a way of ...
Think about it, if you were to stretch that screen on the handset when and only if, plugged into the TV set, it would look hacky and awful at worst! Reasons include: Would chew up a lot of memory to allow translation on the fly to accomodate the width of Android's graphics frame-buffer device - which is a limited size based on the resolution of the ...
I am sorry to have to tell you this, but this is not possible. The OS outputs the data to the screen, and the screen follows this. When the device is in portrait mode, that is what the device outputs - as the screen has wide space, it fills it with black bars. This is the same for the iPad's (I know, I hate them as well) with their screen connectors - if ...

I think the possibility of the moon causing an unusual high tide, because of its closeness to the earth, might increase knowledge of other things, besides the sinking of the Titanic. The decisions of the captain have nothing to do with the scientific subject of the relationship between moon, high tides and ice bergs. Mentioning the Titanic is just presenting the new information in away that might get more people's attention.

Swiss Stocks Fall; UBS, Credit Suisse Retreat, Clariant Advances
Swiss stocks fell as European banks declined after officials agreed to review the terms of Greece's bailout, reigniting concern that the country will fail to repay at least some of its debt.
UBS AG, Switzerland's largest bank, slumped 1.9 percent after the Financial Times reported that the lender may fail to meet performance targets that it set in 2009. Credit Suisse Group AG declined 1.4 percent as a gauge of European banking shares tumbled 1.3 percent, among the biggest retreats of the 19 industry groups in the Stoxx Europe 600 Index.
The Swiss Market Index of the biggest and most actively traded companies slid 0.8 percent to 6,476.89 at the 5:30 p.m. close in Zurich. The broader Swiss Performance Index lost 0.6 percent to 5,979.96.
"It's really the larger banks in Switzerland that are suffering today from sentiment across Europe," said Andreas Venditti, an analyst at Zuercher Kantonalbank in Zurich. "Sovereign-debt concerns are amongst the reasons."
The European Union agreed in an unannounced meeting on May 6 to ease the terms of the 110 billion-euro ($157 billion) lifeline Greece received last year. The gathering followed a report in Der Spiegel magazine that Greece may withdraw from the euro. EU officials denied the report and said that the country will require further aid after investors drove yields on its two-year notes to more than 25 percent.
Swiss stocks consolidated their losses after Standard & Poor's lowered Greece's long-term sovereign-credit rating to B from BB-.
UBS, Credit Suisse
UBS sank 1.9 percent to 16.70 Swiss francs. The bank will probably fail to meet the performance targets it set in 2009, the Financial Times reported, citing unnamed senior UBS bankers. UBS set the goals before international regulators completed the Basel III framework. Switzerland subsequently put forward additional capital requirements for its banks.
UBS has no immediate plans to change its medium-term growth targets for 20 billion francs ($22.9 billion) in annual sales and 6 billion francs in pretax profits at its investment bank, the FT said.
Credit Suisse Group AG, the nation's second-largest bank, declined 1.4 percent to 36.99 francs.
Julius Baer Group Ltd., the 121-year-old wealth manager, retreated 1.7 percent to 38.69 francs.
Clariant AG, the maker of chemicals and paints, jumped 2.5 percent to 18.66 francs after Deutsche Bank AG raised its rating to "hold" from "sell."
"Clariant is well on track to generate significant economic value for the first time in 10 years," Patrick Rafaisz, an analyst at Vontobel Holding AG in Zurich, wrote in a note to clients. "We expect momentum to pick up again."
Santhera Pharmaceuticals Holding AG surged 7.1 percent to 7.70 francs after saying a study showed that its Catena treatment may slow the decline in respiratory function in ageing patients.
