'I was too scared to ask for the money'
Relevant offers
Don't be afraid to ask for your money, Christchurch business owner Melanie Morris says.
Morris was speaking to owners of small and medium-sized businesses at The Biz, a free event for business owners hosted by Yellow in the city today.
Speakers included a number of local business owners and representatives from Yellow, Google and BNZ.
Morris, who started her own business Bookkeeping and Beyond in 2006, said she learned a crucial lesson in her second year in business. She did a lot of work for a big client, who initially paid promptly but then got behind in payments.
Morris was too scared to ask for the money. The client then went under, leaving Morris as an unsecured creditor.
''I lost a whole year's rent because I was too scared to ask for the money.
''If you're too scared to ask for the money, outsource it.''
Business owners also needed to make sure they were using the right accounting software and the right terms of engagement.
Cash was king and business owners needed to plan for ways to survive during a downturn.
They would need a good set of books to show investors or the bank.
Small businesses also needed to think about their terms of payment and consider making them shorter, or offering prompt payment discounts.
''Invoice as promptly as you can and keep on track with your debtors.''
''It's your money so go and get it.''

Video: Tampa police promote neighborhood watch with 'Harlem Shake'
The department teamed up with a radio station to make a parody video to get the word out that the group exists
By Sarah Gottlieb
The Tampa Bay Times
TAMPA — When the newest pop culture fad recently gained worldwide attention, Tampa radio station 93.3 FLZ jumped at the chance to shake things up. The station partnered with the Tampa Police Department to produce a "Harlem Shake" video to call attention to the department's neighborhood watch programs.
The radio station asked police officials what they wanted to raise awareness about. Police spokeswoman Janelle McGregor said the department immediately thought of the neighborhood watch program.
"It was a no-brainer because our neighborhood watch members are the eyes and ears of our community," she said. "We want to show the program is in existence and that citizens are part of these groups."

LinkedIn Purchase Will Spark Brands into Buying Media Companies
Junta 42
That year, my first prediction was as follows: Microsoft will buy one, maybe two, media companies in certain industries. Still others believe the move was a data play, while even more have no idea why Microsoft would buy LinkedIn. Get ready for the media-buying spree. Overnight, Arrow Electronics has become the leading media company for electronics technical decision-makers.

Trends for 2016 Edited by Tom Pick and Tony Karrer 25 Thought Leaders Weigh In 0 Executive Summary B2B marketing practices are in the midst of profound change, driven by three powerful trends: • Changing expectations of buyers: as Baby Boomers retire and Millennials move into and up within the ranks of B2B enterprises, buying. preference, lead generation) isn't new, just more intense.
Introduction to Lead Management
B2B Lead Generation Blog
Tweet If Sales and Marketing were a manufacturing operation starting with raw materials — leads — and ending up with 5% to 20% in deliverable product — won sales — it would soon be shut down to determine what is wrong. However, companies continue to spend untold dollars on lead generation efforts ultimately doomed to fail. Lack of lead management impacts lead conversion and ROI.
How to Use Trigger Events for More and Better Leads
B2B Lead Generation Blog
People aren't ready to buy when we want to sell. This common statement has big implications if you're doing account-based marketing (ABM) and lead generation. Why doing more lead generation activity doesn't help . Marketers often believe they solve the issue of clients being further in their purchase process by driving more early-stage leads to sales.

New Chapter for the B2B Lead Blog
B2B Lead Generation Blog
You may have noticed the B2B Lead Blog has a new look. Over the next few months, I'll be starting a business and working on my next book, a sequel to Lead Generation for the Complex Sale. Back when I started this blog in 2003, I couldn't find any place where people were sharing ideas related to lead generation and the complex sale. Image credit: PhotoDune.
Lead Generation That Converts Leads into Sales Opportunities
B2B Lead Generation Blog
Tweet Ask most executives and marketers what salespeople need to sell in this economy, and they will say one thing: more leads.

Lead Generation: Balancing lead quality and lead quantity
B2B Lead Generation Blog
Tweet Lead generation is somewhat like a tightrope act. Generate too many leads, and the rope between Sales and Marketing breaks. If you don't generate enough leads that turn into sales, your ROI plummets. As Debbie Pryer, Program Manager, Siemens Healthcare , discovered, finding the right balance between lead quantity and quality takes trust, teamwork and planning.
How Do We Find People Who Are Ready to Buy Our Product?
The Point
A prospective client asks: "What are the best demand generation strategies for finding people who are ready to buy our product?". For example, if you offer prospects a broad, educational white paper on trends in your product category, you're more likely to generate a wide spectrum of leads, some more qualified than others, and many who are only mildly curious about your solution.
Is B2B Content Engagement Heading In The Wrong Direction?
Tony Zambito
Track Maven referred to this as the "content marketing paradox" when publishing the study. I am not sure it is a paradox. My interaction with buyers, via hundreds of B2B buyer interviews in multiple industries, leads me to believe this outcome is a correlation as opposed to a paradox. A paradox suggests you may not be able to make sense of such as outcome for it is not the expected outcome.
Measure Your Way to Lead Nurturing Success
The Point
Demand Gen Report just published " Top B2B Marketers Measure Lead Nurturing Effectiveness to Boost Performance ," a special report in which they address the whys, whats, and how tos of measuring lead nurturing's true impact. That, ultimately, is what lead nurturing is designed to do – move leads towards opportunity and close. The results were dramatic.

My Nikon D90 Mini Review
I had a Nikon D90 earlier this year but never got around to writing my mini review for the camera when I had it, so here it is now!
The Nikon D90 is Nikon's "Enthusiast" model which fits in between the D5000 high end entry level model and the Semi pro D300 and would be the equivalent to Canon's XXD series. The D90 was also the first d/SLR to feature video. The Nikon D90 features a 12.3 megapixel 1.5x crop sensor, and ISO range from 100-6400.
The Body
The Nikon D90, like it's predecessors has a plastic (polycarbonate) body with a metal chassis. The build quality was very good though! Probably the best plastic bodied camera I've owned, and very well built. Nikon covers most of the plastic up with rubber, so it doesn't feel plasticky, and the camera feels very solid. The D90 is also light weight compared to a similar sized body made from metal such as the Canon EOS 50D or the Pentax K20D.
The buttons and switches are well layed out, and there are allot of external controls which means you don't have to go into the menu system as much as the lower end Nikon bodies. You can also customise allot of the buttons and assign functions to suit your shooting style and personal preferences.
The Nikon D90 has a built in AF motor, which means that Nikon's screw driven AF lenses will autofocus on the D90 unlike the lower end bodies which don't feature a built in AF motor and will only autofocus with the Nikon AF-S lenses with the built in autofocus motor, or the 3rd party lenses which feature a lens based AF motor. The D90 will also work with the AF-S lenses too.
The D90 features a self cleaning sensor which is designed to reduce dust build up on the sensor (you might still get some dust build up though).
The built in flash can also be used as a flash trigger for the Nikon creative lighting system (CLS) so you can use compatible Nikon external flashes off the camera body.
The Viewfinder
The Nikon D90 features a pentaprism viewfinder which is bigger and brighter then the lower end Nikon bodies, and is the same type found on most mid – high end d/SLR's. The Nikon D90's viewfinder covers 96% of the frame. The viewfinder is a good size too, and looking through it doesn't give you that "Tunnel vision" feel that you get with the lower end models and is similar the the viewfinder on a Canon 40D/50D.
There is allot of information displayed in the viewfinder which is great to see, and means you don't need to look at one of the LCD screens as much when you need to look at camera settings.
The Nikon D90 features a 11 point autofocus system which covers a nice range across the viewfinder which makes composing off centre objects easier. Low light autofocus performance is good with very little hunting and the camera being able to lock focus quite easily. Unfortunately the D90 only has 1 cross type AF point (the centre AF point) compared to the Canon 40D/50D which offers all 9 of it's AF points with the cross type points, but the D90 still performed well.
The tracking focus worked well too, the camera locked focus and performed well when shooting fast moving objects and did very well considering it doesn't have the added advantage of having the cross type AF points.
There is also the option to use contrast detect autofocus when shooting in live view mode, but it's very slow and Nikon recommends that you use a tripod when shooting in this mode. I tried it once, but it was much to slow to be of any use.
Shutter and drive mode
The shutter on the D90 was not to loud which means you won't be attracting to much attention every time you take a photo.
The Nikon D90 offers 3 drive modes which are, Single shot, Low speed continuous shooting (1-4 frames per second) and a high speed continuous shooting mode (4.5 frames per second). There is also a self timer mode.
The Mode Wheel
The D90 offers a similar mode wheel to most mid range d/SLR's which offers the full range of manual settings, as well as a "Basic Zone" for beginners.
The LCD
The Nikon D90 features the same high resolution 920,000 dot pixel LCD screen featured on the D300, D700, D3 and D3x models and is allot better then the low resolution 230,000 dot pixel screens on the D5000 and D3000. The screen is big, bright and clear, and is useful for reviewing photos, and is useful for manual focusing when shooting in live view mode.
The Nikon D90 also offers a top LCD screen which displays all your camera settings. Nikon also put in a custom function which allows you to keep the backlit LCD light to stay on permanently while the custom function is enabled, which makes working in the dark easier since you don't need to keep pressing the top LCD light switch.
Nikon also offers all the camera information that is viewable on the top LCD screen on the back of the camera which is useful when shooting at night so you can easily see all your camera settings.
Nikon also provides a plastic LCD cover with the D90 to protect the rear LCD from scratches and smudges etc.
Video Mode
The Nikon D90 offers HD video recording, but it's only in 720p and not full 1080p HD video which is currently only offered on Canon d/SLR's. The video quality is still good and is great for shooting video clips while out taking photos.
There are allot of limitations though, you will need to manually focus your lenses (The contrast detect mode is erratic and very slow) Nikon doesn't offer much in the way of manual controls either, and the only adjustments that can be made are just exposure compensation. There have been some rumours that Nikon is working on a firmware update which will give D90 users manual video controls, but I don't think manual video controls will be offered until the D90 replacement.
The audio quality is ok, but the D90 only records in mono, and the built in microphone picks up allot of stray sound such as the lenses AF (If your trying to use contrast detect focusing) the sound of the VR motor (when using VR lenses) and the sound of your hands if your trying to manually focus the lens when shooting video. Nikon doesn't offer a external microphone input port on the D90.
Picture Quality
The Nikon D90 uses the same 12.3 megapixel sensor as the D300, and picture quality is about the same. The sensor offers nice colours and a good dynamic range and the ability to produce decent sized prints.
The D90 has a ISO range of 200-3200 and offers ISO 100 and ISO 6400 with ISO expansion. There is also a auto ISO mode which works well if you prefer the camera to choose the ISO settings for you.
The D90 performs well up to around ISO 3200 with a bit of noise reduction, and ISO 6400 is still usable for web or small prints with noise reduction applied.
Nikon D90 vs Nikon D300
The Nikon D90 offers allot of the features from the D300 in a more user friendly body and a more affordable package. The D90 would suit someone who is either just starting out, or moving up from a lower end d/SLR and doesn't want or need all the features that the D300 offers.
The D300 has a better built body, being made of metal and offering some weather sealing. The D300 also has a 100% viewfinder and also offers 51 AF points vs the 11 points on the D90. The D300 also has a higher frame rate, and a bigger buffer which is useful for those that shoot allot of action in high speed drive mode.
Picture quality wise, the D90 is pretty much identical to the D300. The D90 offers video, the D300 doesn't (But the new D300s does).
If you shoot allot of action, sports, birds etc, the D300 would be the better choice, if your just looking for a all round camera and don't do allot of high speed photography then the D90 would be a great choice.
Nikon D90 vs Canon EOS 500D
I get asked this question allot!
The Nikon D90 is a higher end model over the Canon 500D. The Nikon D90 offers more features and customisation over the 500D, and also a better build quality and better viewfinder.
The 500D is smaller then the D90, and is also lighter, the 500D also offers 1080p Full HD video recording capabilities, but just like the D90, video recording capabilities are limited.
Picture quality from both cameras are good, The 500D offers ISO 12,800 which is one stop more then the D90. The 500D also offers 3 more mega pixels which is great if you want to make large prints, and also offers the ability to crop your photos down a bit more.
Both cameras are great and I would recommend that you look into the lenses and accessories that are offered from Canon and Nikon and look at what type of photography you do, and what you might expect to do in the future to determine which camera system you want to invest into.
Nikon D90 vs Canon EOS 50D
The D90 competes well up against the 50D, offering similar features at a cheaper price then the 50D.
The Nikon D90 offers better picture quality, especially at ISO's above ISO 800 where the 50D gets noisy. The D90 offers more customisation then the 50D and also has Video recording capabilities which the 50D lacks.
The 50D has a slightly better build quality being made of metal vs the plastic body on the D90. The 50D also has some "Weather sealing" but it's nothing more then a couple foam strips around the memory card and battery doors.
The 50D uses compact flash cards (CF), the D90 uses Secure digital cards (SD). Some prefer one or the other, if your upgrading from a compact camera you might already have invested in SD cards which you could use on the D90, but would mean you would have to invest in some CF cards if you choose the 50D and don't already have some.
Which would I choose?
I would choose the D90 over the 50D. The D90 was a much nicer camera to use, the picture quality was much better then the 50D, and it's cheaper then the 50D! If you want a Canon get the 500D instead.
But as I said when comparing the D90 with the 500D, I would recommend you look into both camera systems before making your final decision.
The Nikon D90 is a very good value camera and offers enough features to keep most photographers busy. Picture quality is good, the build quality is also very good, and the amount of features offered should be enough for most casual shooters and is definitely worth adding to the list for those looking at buying their first d/SLR, or upgrading from one of the lower end Nikon d/SLR's.

It's been 12 years since he made his debut for the New Zealand hockey team so you can be sure his parents have seen it all.
Waipipi's Blair Hopping first played for the Black Sticks in 2000 against Pakistan and his parents Roy and Lois were on the sideline full of pride.
Now more than a decade down the track Hopping has been selected to represent New Zealand at the Olympics Games in London, for the third and what could be final time.
Although they will not be going to London for the Games, Roy and Lois remain their son's biggest supporters.
"We are not going this year, we haven't been to the Olympics but we have been to a couple of other things," Roy said.
The opportunities given to the pair while Blair has been in the national squad have been huge and said they have been to Germany, Kuala Lumpur and Australia to name a few.
They have recently returned from Cairns watching Blair play in the pre-Olympic three-test series against Australia during which Blair notched up his 250th game for his country.
"The thing with the Olympics is that it's extraordinarily expensive so this time we are just sending our representative over – Blair," said Roy.
Supporting their son will come from home, where they plan to record and watch every game of his during the Olympics.
"We will be recording them all and I will be watching them about three of four times each," Lois said.
"'We will make a copy of them and put them in to the archives."
And it's an archive full of bits and pieces, memorabilia and photos from the 32-year-old's long career in New Zealand hockey.
It's a career that started at a young age growing up in Waipipi with his older brother Tony, his hockey-playing mum and sport-mad dad.
"It was my sport first and they [Blair and Tony] used to come along on the sideline watching and then they both took it up," Lois said.
"They have enjoyed it, it's not a sport that we forced on them, they enjoyed it right through."
Going to the small country school in Waipipi meant Blair played his junior hockey for Sandspit Rd School where there were enough numbers to make a team.
From there he made his journey through to playing hockey for Waiuku College and Counties Manukau age group representative teams.
Although he now lives out of Franklin, Roy and Lois said he owed a lot to his local upbringing and coaching from the likes of Andrew Massey at Waiuku College.
"I think he was very lucky because at the start he was noticed as having the skills and he had great coaching right from the beginning," Roy said.
"Andrew Massey really had a lot to do with his early development but certainly he made the team through Counties Manukau.
If not for his time in the Counties Manukau Hockey Association systems his parents believe Blair may not have been noticed for the talents that have now lead him to 250 plus games for New Zealand.
"He did not leave the area and play in Auckland to make a name for himself, and going to Waikato University was a big move for him because it meant he made it into the Midlands team,'' Roy said.
An advisor for Midlands and ex-New Zealand hockey coach Kevin Towns led him to be selected into the national team.
Roy and Lois said the highlight of their son's sporting career so far came when he first ran out on to the field against Pakistan in 2000.
"I remember that there were other supporters there and because it was the first game for Blair the group started yelling out for him," Lois said. "Also when he walked out for New Zealand with the flag in front of them."
For Roy it's a thing of pride.
"I think that nothing changes it, if you read his name in the paper or see him live or on TV, it's a sense of pride I guess in terms of everything that he has achieved,'' Roy said.
"It's like when a little girl gets up and sings on stage, it does not matter if she's out of tune.
"He has been New Zealand player of the year in the past but in my view he is every year."

A salvage operation and clean-up efforts are still underway in Haines, where a 78-foot tender sank last weekend in the boat harbor.
The tender Neptune is being raised from the bottom of the Haines Harbor, although progress is going more slowly than anticipated.
That's according to Coast Guard Lt. Ryan Erikson who has been on scene this week observing the salvage operation and monitoring the leaking fuel from the vessel that is polluting the harbor.
"The tides were not working in our favor yesterday so the vessel slipped a little," he said. "They were able to push the nose back up to where it was."
"This afternoon they're looking to go ahead and swing the stern back to the rocky shelf to keep it a little higher as the tide comes in and then work on it again when the tide goes out."
But now that the boat is at least partly above water, containment booms surrounding the harbor were removed Thursday. Booms remain around the tender to contain fuel and oils still leaking and cleanup continues, but boats are now able to move freely in and out of the harbor.
The Neptune sank while moored at the harbor Saturday, Oct. 5. Containment booms were placed at the harbor's entrance and no fuel was reported to have escaped into Port Chilkoot or Lynn Canal, but the state and Coast Guard required boats leaving the harbor, including the Haines fishing fleet, get hosed down at a decontamination station.
The boat's owner estimated there was about 1,600 gallons of fuel on board when it sank. It's unclear how much of that leaked, but it's far less than the 10,000 gallon benchmark that would make it a major spill, Erikson said.

Nikki Sixx on Feud With KISS Members: 'We Look Like a Bunch of Old Women Fighting at This Point'
Nikki Sixx has been in a war of words with KISS members Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley in recent weeks. See what he tells Loudwire about the situation.
Nikki Sixx has been in a war of words with KISS members Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley in recent weeks. See what he tells Loudwire about the situation.
In a recent column, Gene Simmons talks religion and pedophilia and says there's a special place in hell for priests who are pedophiles.
In a new statement, Gene Simmons cites his experience of seeing fellow rockers' lives destroyed by drug use as the motive behind his words.
Ace Frehley's music video for the cover of 'Fire and Water' features KISS' Paul Stanley, marking the first time they've appeared in a video together since 1998.
KISS legend Ace Frehley remembers getting pleasured by a 'hooker' at Pantera legend Dimebag Darrell's house during a weekend of debauchery.
An injury to the frontman caused the band to play as a three-piece for only the second time in their career.
KISS have only received a single Grammy nomination, but don't tell that to Ace Frehley!
Ace Frehley fans who find it odd that his new Origins Vol. 1 album includes a cover of "Rock and Roll Hell" — a Kiss song he didn't originally play on — have Frehley's label rep Ken Gulick to thank.
N.W.A.'s Ice Cube continued the debate over rap acts in the Rock Hall, calling KISS' Gene Simmons 'just wrong' in his stance against it.
Ace Frehley's second stint with Kiss started with a reunion tour, so perhaps it's fitting that it also ended on the road.
Gene Simmons recently stated 'rap will die' and MC Ren of N.W.A. had some words for the KISS icon during his acceptance speech at the Rock Hall of Fame.
Though it has ruffled the feathers of some fans, KISS' Gene Simmons says it was the right decision to continue using classic era makeup with new members.

I have been a fan of his for quite some time, particularly enjoying his appearances on 'HIGNFY' and 'Qi'.
I really feel he is the closest we have to a young Billy Connolly, many of his spontaneous moments on stage, and his tendency to go off on a tangent remind me of the great man.
I originally watched this series when it was first shown on televison and had regretted not keeping a copy of it, so was really chuffed (and quite surprised) to see it released in it's entirety on DVD.
It's great fun, a surprisingly relaxing watch, and it offers quite a unique view of that wonderful country. It is quite similar in feel to 'Billy Connolly's World Tour of Austrailia' (which I personally see as no bad thing, considering that is one of my all-time favourite TV shows).
Highly recommended, particularly when at a reduced price.
I first got into Ross Noble because of my parents as they put it on TV for me and said it would probably be my kind of thing (ie very silly) and they were right. Since then I've been to all of his tours when they've stopped off at Cliffs Pavilion in Westcliff and brought all of his tour DVD's.
This DVD is different though as it's him touring Australia on his bike as well as a bit of each gig. It was originally shown on Channel 5 but I only caught one episode (at the time I had moved into a new flat and our TV signal was awful so decided to wait for the DVD.) I got it as soon as it came out and watched it all the way through and really enjoyed it. It's a great tour of Australia with some great information too. Ross visits many places including a giant prawn and goes on a little adventure on a mobility scooter.
Writing this review is reminding me how funny it is and think I will have to get it out and watch it again now!
All in all, if you like Ross Noble or were just thinking about finding something that will have you in stitches this is the DVD for you.
Pitty that the trip was in many places but too litle the informations about them!

Gorgeous decor in the lobby. Clean and comfortable.
Thin doors. Very jovial conservation in hallway at four AM withs doors slamming kept us awake. Not sure if I can blame anyone but the tenants for this but my wife refuses to go here again.
I've stayed at this hotel two times in the last 6 months and had similar experiences. First, the rooms appeared to have been occupied by a guest prior to my arrival. On the first visit, the bed comforter was indented in the shape of a body. On the second visit, there was a scarf left on the side table and the desk chair was pulled away from the desk. Also on both visits, the coffee in the reception area was empty during breakfast. Finally, on both visits I requested a king bed in my reservation but received two queens.
Room was clean, quiet. We enjoyed a delicious, if a bit pricey, dinner in the Aspen Grill. Wasn't sure what it would be like, but we were satisfied.
The room was clean and spacious. The towels were soft and fluffy. The bed oh so comfortable. Food is great. I will definitely recommend this hotel.
Long walk to the dinning room. No room service. Unable to do a take out from the buffet. I was not able to leave my room for long periods of time as my dog would bark. So I prefer to eat in my room. This worried me as I did not want to disturb my neighbors.
The coupons for food at nearby restaurant.
No elevator to get to room on second floor. The locks were hard to open had to jiggle key for sometime to get door to open.
Room was clean and quiet, unless you ran the heater. Location is good. Decent "no-frills" place to stay.
Hallways, lobby, and breakfast areas a little to a lot worn.
Staff nice
Rooms were disappointing
the shower was as dirty as I have seen, black ring in bath tub black footprints on floor of bath tub, the control handle for the water would not work, only 2 bath towels if we wanted to take more than one shower, the worst place we have ever stayed at.
the breakfast was a joke with NO juice, as the machine was broken, never stayed at a Holiday Inn this dirty
The hotel was very clean, well lit, inviting and modern. The rooms were in excellent condition, bathrooms fully functional, the beds were of excellent quality. For a 2.5* hotel, this Holiday Inn Express exceeded our expectations so much.
Shower lack good pressure
the room was clean and quiet
the casino was very smoky smelling, so we went somewhere else to eat. There was no elevator, we had to drag our suitcases up two flights of stairs. There were no windows to open in our room.
We use to live in Elko for a short time and liked it alot. It's a great little town. We have stayed here before and it was great.The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable of the area. The restaurant there "JR's" is one of the best restaurants in town and they have the Best waitress, her name is Sami. She is very polite and is very in tune with her customers and work area. We always ask for her when we eat there. They are also pet friendly. We have 4 large dogs and they were all allowed with out question.
The beds were comfy, there were extra pillows on the beds the rooms were clean, there were small microwaves and refrigerators in the room that worked excellent. The A/C and heater system worked good. They have med. sized flat screen tv's that were very nice.
The room key system has major issues. We were there only 2 nights visiting family and had to have our room keys reset and replaced 6 different times and was a little frustrating. The staff blamed it on the cold but we disagree with that. Other than that there were no real issues.
occasionally while watching tv, the commercials were blacked out but there was sounds the whole time. We never said anything to the staff about this and it looked like the TV had been dropped on its corner. It was clearly damaged
The location was great, the front lobby was clean and fancy
The beds were hard, air conditioner didn't work properly, one chair in our room had white crusty stains on it, it was raining so the indoor pool was closed due to leaky roof,
The wonderful, sunny pool was a trifle too warm, especially since there was a hot tub nearby for those who wanted to warm their bones, but the depth and spaciousness of the pool was so lovely.
The hotel got slammed at breakfast and couldn't keep up with a single employee running the breakfast room. I had to wait half an hour for hot food only to have another hotel patron take all of the newly made food for himself.
It was a little more than we were expecting to pay, but between the cleanliness of the rooms and hallways, the generous complementary hot breakfast and the helpful staff, we wound up being very pleased. There is a laundry room for guests, which we did not use but which could be handy, and they sell frozen entrees for cooking in the microwave in your room in a pinch. That's a nice touch for people who come in very late after restaurants close. If we go back through Elko and need to stay overnight again, we'll probably return to Best Western.
Rooms were very beautiful and the bed was comfortable.
Restaurant was not very good
Nicely renovated rooms, decent restaurants. Nice clientele, and an excellent price (booked same day for $40). Maid service was excellent.
Because they recently renovated the rooms, when you arrive, they will inform you they have a new policy where they charge an $80 deposit to ensure against damage. Really? We're talking an upgraded Motel 6 here, not the Ritz. Tacky. Hubby is 60, I'm 55, we're not going to trash your newly-renovated room.
Aside from that, the cigarette smell in the casino is pretty strong. Other hotel/casinos (such as the local Red Lion) have a ventilation system in place to mask the casino cigarette smell. Lastly, don't plan on using the pool, it's gated off and emptied.
The bed Terribles
Air cooler didn't cool room
Air cooler did not cool room
Firm mattresses, very clean room. Comfortable, mini fridge and microwave, no coffee machine.
Friendly owner and staff.
I would recommend Elko Economy Inn for an extended stay.
Limited parking.

Nissan has revised the Pathfinder's exterior and interior color combinations, added a moonroof as standard equipment on the LE-V6, and included a navigation system on the LE-V8. Two new option packages are available for 2010: The LE-V8 Value package includes a rear DVD player and a moonroof, while the SE Premium Journey package includes alloy wheels, rearview monitor, Bose audio system, XM satellite radio, Bluetooth and more.
- New interior and exterior combinations
- New exterior color: Dark Slate
- Moonroof is now standard on Pathfinder LE-V6 models
- New LE-V8 Value package includes rear-seat DVD entertainment system and a power moonroof
- New SE Premium Journey package adds alloy wheels, rearview monitor, 10-speaker Bose audio system with XM satellite radio, Bluetooth, Intelligent Key keyless locking and ignition, and more
The Nissan Pathfinder is a 7-seat SUV, larger than the Murano and built for more rugged use. It features a truck-type body-on-frame construction and offers either a V-6 or a V-8 engine, plus many luxury features. Its traditional competitors are the Toyota 4Runner, GMC Terrain, and the Mazda CX-9.
The 2010 Nissan Pathfinder is available in four trim levels. The entry-level Pathfinder S features 16-inch wheels, air conditioning, cruise control, keyless entry, 6-speaker sound system, roof rails, and a receiver hitch for towing. The Pathfinder SE features 17-inch wheels and adds running boards and fog lights. The SE's power features include dual-zone automatic climate control, adjustable driver's seat and pedals, and rear air conditioning controls. The premium Pathfinder LE upgrades to 18-inch wheels, and adds automatic headlights, sunroof, leather upholstery with heated front seats, and many other enhancements-some of which are available as options on the SE trim. The Pathfinder LE V8 is the LE trim with a V-8 engine and a hard-drive-based navigation system.
The 2010 Nissan Pathfinder features a total of 79 cubic feet of storage space with the second- and third-row seats folded flat, according to Nissan, and can tow 6000 pounds with a V-6 engine and 7000 pounds with a V-8. Maximum payload is just over 1000 pounds.
Standard on all 2010 Nissan Pathfinder trims but the LE V8 is a 266-horsepower, 4.0-liter V-6 engine with a 5-speed automatic transmission and rear- or 4-wheel drive (2WD or 4WD). With 2WD it delivers 15 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway, according to the EPA. The LE V8 features a 310-horsepower, 5.6-liter V-8 engine with a 5-speed automatic transmission and standard 4WD. It delivers 13 mpg in the city and 18 mpg on the highway.
Standard safety features on the 2010 Nissan Pathfinder include anti-lock disc brakes with brake assist, stability control, traction control, active front head restraints, front side air bags, and side curtain air bags.
Starting MSRPs for the 2010 Nissan Pathfinder ranged from $27,540 to $42,300.

We introduce the notion of "we" or collectivistic leadership. A general collectivistic approach to leadership is developed and contrasted with traditional and contemporary approaches to leadership. An overview of five collectivistic leadership approaches—team, network, shared, complexity, and collective leadership—is then presented. Key notions, constructs, and levels of analysis; the role of a focal leader; operationalizations and empirical results; and implications for leadership development, assessment, and practice of each approach are summarized. Common themes across, and our perspective on, the approaches and future directions for collectivistic leadership science and practice are discussed.
