By Tony Cuddihy of Setanta Sports
Another huge weekend of GAA action, with top class action in both football and hurling taking place over Saturday and Sunday.
DUBLIN v CORK, SUNDAY, 2PM
Cork manager Jimmy Barry Murphy has made two changes to his side to face Dublin at Croke Park on Sunday. Eoin Cadogan returns from injury in place of William Egan, while Darren Sweetnam makes way for Tom Kenny at midfield. Veteran star Seán Og hAilpín has thanked Murphy for bringing him back into the Cork panel, after he was dropped by Denis Walsh last year. "It was a big move in a lot of people's eyes because basically I was retired last year," O hAilpin admitted. "I'm 35 years of age this year so from a sporting perspective people might see me as a depreciating asset, but I was delighted to get the call from Jimmy. We sat down and had an honest chat. There were no huge expectations, Jimmy said, 'Look the door is open for you, come in training with the panel and see how the body is shaping up'. "The body is not so bad, probably not as good as it was five or ten years ago but I'm still able to chase the young cheetahs on the team today." Dublin, meanwhile, will be without defender Peter Kelly for the clash. Kelly twisted his left knee in the closing stages of the defeat to Galway. The news is a further blow to Dublin boss Anthony Daly, who is already without Liam Rushe, Conal Keaney, Stephen Hiney, Tomas Brady, Paul Schutte, Ross O'Carroll and David O'Callaghan.
WATERFORD v KILKENNY, SUNDAY, 2.30PM
Waterford face Kilkenny off the back of an opening round defeat to Cork, and knowing that the Cats are brimming with confidence after putting Tipperary to the sword. Kilkenny captain Eoin Larkin, for one, is expecting a Deise backlash. "Yeah, I think there will be a backlash because teams that didn't win their first game will be under pressure to win their second game," he told gaa.ie. "They don't want to be falling down the table. "Likewise, if we get beaten we'll be slipping down the table as well and so it has the makings of a great game. "We were happy enough with the win [against Tipperary], you know. The bottom line is to get two points ahead of the Waterford game and we got that. "It's probably easier getting back into the swing of things after winning an All-Ireland. Of course, September was brilliant but once January comes around and you are back from the holiday, you know it's back to the hard work again." Waterford's Richie Foley has confirmed he will miss the whole league campaign, with the versatile Abbeyside clubman now targeting the Munster SHC clash with Clare as a return date. The Kilkenny team, meanwhile, will be named on Friday night.
TIPPERARY v GALWAY, SUNDAY, 2.30PM
With Galway's Joe Canning still sidelined with a shoulder injury, the only change to the Tribesmen's team that beat Dublin sees Bernard Burke come in at the expense of Barry Daly. Manager Anthony Cunningham will have no problems motivating his side to face the 2010 All-Ireland champions, who won the Waterford Crystal Cup last weekend to lay the ghosts of an opening day league defeat to Kilkenny to rest. Galway got their league campaign off to a flyer with a 0-20 to 0-13 win over an admittedly under strength Dublin. Niall Burke was in inspirational form for the Tribesmen, accounting for half of their overall total. Tipperary have made wholesale changes for Sunday's game. John O'Keeffe, James Woodlock, Shane McGrath, John O'Neill and Shane Bourke all come into the team in place of Shane Maher, David Young, Gearoid Ryan, Adrian Ryan and John O'Brien.

Suppose you are concerned about the sustainability of the stock market rally. You believe the fundamentals underlying the economy and the markets are built on sand, and you may have even felt this way for a long time. But you also see a stock market that seems to only rise day after day after day. This results in a dilemma. You do not want to buy into the market in which you are already deeply skeptical the moment it finally peaks and enters a new bear market. The mere thought of it may even be distasteful. Yet you also may not want to absorb the opportunity cost of standing aside if stocks are insistent on adding a few more months or even years to the current bull market. What is the conflicted stock investor to do? The answer? Apply bear repellent where possible to your stock portfolio.
It is a sense of internal conflict that many investors find themselves grappling with today. You look around and see a domestic and global economy that despite all of the flashy headlines is continuing to struggle to regain momentum toward a sustainably strong recovery. When you take a step further and explore the fundamentals, you find that many companies are struggling to increase revenues and seem to be relying a bit too much for your liking on cost cutting and debt funded share repurchases to boost earnings per share. And then when you check the valuation on many of the stocks you might like to own, you cringe at the price tag you have to pay. But despite all of these legitimate concerns, the problem is that these have been issues for the market for the last several years, yet the stock market continues to march higher in setting new record highs.
You may believe this all will end badly. But when does it all end? On Monday? In October? Or 2017?
Given this uncertainty along with the fact that the market remains in a sustainable uptrend and the recognition that as evidenced by the news out of the European Central Bank that the world is still not at a loss for major central bankers that are willing to do (or at least suggest that they will do) whatever it takes to try and wring the last drops of blood out of the global recovery stone, it remains worthwhile at least for now to maintain a meaningful allocation to stocks.
But this raises another predicament for the skeptical investor. During a raging bull phase, the market is filled with investors that all think that they can ride the rally to the top and get out before the next bear market fully takes hold. Unfortunately for the many holding this belief, one of the cruelest characteristics of a bear market is that most investors are not even aware that they are in the throes of major downturn until it's way too late. By the time they realize the market has officially turned, they look around and suddenly find themselves down -20% to -30% or more with no way out. In short, they are essentially trapped and are forced to ride out the downturn for as low as long it is determined to go.
Of course, many investors have an excellent retort to this predicament. Go out and buy with conviction the stocks of high quality companies, particularly those that have steadily growing dividends, and hold on to them through the downturn no matter how severe the losses may become along the way. As long as the dividend keeps growing, the decline in value is nothing more than a paper loss that will eventually be recovered once the next bull market begins. This is an outstanding approach and I agree completely with this strategy. In fact, such is the strategy that resides at the core of my investment philosophy.
Unfortunately, two key challenges present themselves with this approach.
First, while it is easy for many investors to say that this is what they intend to do when the next bear market finally arrives, it is far more difficult to actually carry this out in practice when the principal value of your investments are falling by -30%, -40%, -50% or more. For while being out of the market when it is rising is painful enough, it is far more gut wrenching to be in the market when it is falling relentlessly day after day. Eventually, it can break the most resolute of portfolio managers. And it has been a long time now at over five years since investors have felt such prolonged pain.
Second, the possibility actually exists that stocks may correct during the next bear market and not bounce back to their previous price levels for a very long time. Investors over the last 30 to 65 years have been conditioned to the idea that stocks will bounce back fairly quickly after plunging into a bear market the same way that homebuyers were conditioned for 60 years to the idea that home prices never sustainably declined up until the financial crisis took place several years ago. But the primary drivers of these sharp reversals in stock prices after bear markets have been the strength of the economic recovery that accompanies it along with highly accommodative monetary policy from the U.S. Federal Reserve. But when looking ahead to the next bear market, what is the likelihood that either of these conditions will present themselves next time with the economy already having struggled to regain strength for so many years and a Fed balance sheet having already more than quintupled to $4.3 trillion trying in vain to ignite more robust growth? In short, the double barreled shot gun that has sparked past rallies following bear markets may be left firing blanks the next time around, potentially leading to a far longer road back for many stocks to current price levels than most anyone is expecting.
The Value Of Bear Repellent For Your Stock Portfolio
Fortunately, reasonable answers exist for such skeptical investors that wish to participate in further stock market (NYSEARCA:SPY) gains while still protecting themselves from getting caught in the next bear market despite all of these challenges and concerns. The following are three fairly straightforward additions to a stock screening strategy that may help to provide a layer of bear repellent protection on your stock portfolio.
1. Focus On Yield And Dividend Growth
This, of course, is a concept with which many readers are very familiar. As mentioned above, one of the best ways to perform in any market is to emphasize companies in your portfolio that are able to support an attractive dividend payout and are also able to sustainably increase this dividend payment over time. This way, no matter what the price of the stocks you are holding may be at any given point in time, as long as the dividend payout is growing, you are achieving a consistent increase in portfolio income over time.
This approach has particular appeal if you are concerned about the potential for a change in market direction at some point in the future. For if stocks were in a better case scenario to enter into a sideways consolidation phase, you would still be benefiting from a steady stream of increasing portfolio income as the market worked its way through this process assuming you selected the right names in advance. And in a worst-case scenario the stock market were to plunge into a more dramatic decline, you will still have the income being generated by your portfolio to help offset the decline in principal value sustained along the way.
2. Focus On Stocks Whose Prices Have "Life"
What the heck does "life" mean in relation to a stock price, you might ask? This second point is a bear repellent in recognition of the fact that five years of aggressive monetary policy stimulus from the U.S. Federal Reserve has had a highly distorting impact on financial markets including stocks. One of the defining characteristics of this distortion has been the increasing trend across many security prices, particularly since the beginning of 2013, to enter into zombie like phases where they start drifting higher for months with virtually no price volatility along the way.
The following is just one of many examples of stocks and entire asset classes for that matter that have entered into extended periods of zombie like behavior. In order to protect the identity of the company shown here, I have removed any references to its name or pricing. All I will say is that it is a top 100 market cap company that is among my favorite high quality stocks that I have owned on several occasions in the past but do not own today.
So what exactly is the problem with stocks entering into these sustained periods of gains with minimal price volatility? Because this is not what would be considered as anything close to normal price behavior, as it suggests that other potentially unhealthy and unsustainable forces have suddenly caused the stock price to turn comatose. And while such zombie like behavior is certainly nice when it is moving in your direction - I have been the direct beneficiary of such zombie like moves along the way - they often end badly once the security price snaps back to life. For while this was not the case with the security shown above, it was the case for many others during the sudden market awakening last May and June such as the one shown below that has taken a full year to finally recover the value lost in what is still a raging bull market for stocks.
In order to protect against the potential for a sudden sharp decline in value, it may be best to focus on securities that are consistently showing "life" in their price. This includes more normal up and down price movements on any given day and a reasonable amount of price volatility along the way. Taking this one step further, it may be even more ideal to focus on high quality dividend growing stocks that are consistently showing continuous "life" in their stock price and are either being disregarded or discarded by the market at the present time. The following are three such examples among many in Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG), McDonald's (NYSE:MCD) and Chevron (NYSE:CVX). It should be noted that each are Dividend Aristocrats with annual dividend yields in excess of 3.2%, which qualifies each to pass the first screen mentioned above.
3. Focus On Stocks That Have Proven "Emergency Exits" From Bear Markets
The ideal situation is to purchase a stock that you can hold forever. In the interest of full disclosure, while I have purchased a number of stocks over the last year, I have not sold any holdings since last August. And as long as the current stock market uptrend remains intact, I am likely to continue to maintain these positions. In fact, I am likely to continue to hold many of these positions even after the next bear market initially gets underway. Why? Because each stock position in my portfolio with the exception of one was purchased after being screened for having a proven emergency exit hatch from a major bear market (the one exception being a name owned for direct high beta exposure).
This is arguably the most important characteristic of the three listed here. But what exactly do I mean by an "emergency exit"? These are stocks that have demonstrated the ability at best to continue rising or at worst hold even well into the onset of past major bear markets.
Returning to the examples highlighted above demonstrates what an emergency exit looks like, which are shown in the charts below during the last major bear market from 2007 to 2009.
The last major bear market got underway in July 2007. And although the stock market subsequently faded into a sustained -20% decline over the next 14 months through September 2008, both Procter & Gamble and McDonald's were trading between +15% to +25% higher over this same time period. As for Chevron, it was higher through July 2008 and was down in the low single digits in the few weeks after the Lehman bankruptcy in late September 2008. In each case, investors had more than enough time to consider whether a sustained bear market was underway and to decide whether it would be more prudent to stay the course or to evacuate these positions either with gains in the case of P&G and McDonald's or only a modest decline in the case of Chevron. It is worth noting that all three stocks demonstrated this same resilience during the 2000 to 2003 bear market, as both Chevron and McDonald's held up in positive territory until mid 2002 while Procter & Gamble never relented to the downside.
While there is no guarantee that a stock including any of those shown here that held up well during recent past bull markets will do so again during the next bear market, it is at least worthwhile to have the demonstrated ability of having successfully done so in the past.
Bottom Line
The use of bear repellent in the wild does not guarantee that one will not suffer injuries from a bear attack. But the application of the spray does help to minimize the potential for damage from such an unfortunate encounter. And the same principles hold true when managing your investment portfolio. For applying some theoretical bear repellent through methods such as those shown here among others, one can position themselves to participate in any potential further market upside while still managing against the risk of major stock portfolio loss.

In marketing a bicycle, it helps to have a unique selling proposition which often includes "lightest", "fastest" or some other superlative adjective. In pitching themselves to potential clients, bicycle manufacturers seek to cut through in a similar way.
The 2.2-ranked 'Tour of Nansha', to be held 19-21 November in Guangdong – China's most populous province – is now one of seven UCI AsiaTour stage races scheduled to take place in China within the second-half of this year.
Courtesy of ex-Discovery Channel rider, Li Fuyu, there's a chance Hengxiang Cycling may already be on the radar of some Euro-centric cycling fans. However, there's more substance to the roster than an ex-ProTeam rider, most recently thanks to the new addition of Ma Guangtong.
With a little under two months until the third edition of the Tour of Beijing begins, a detailed overview of the parcours for Asia's only WorldTour race has now been released. In breaking through the 1,000 metre elevation barrier for the first time, the event also seeks to shake off its image as one which … Continue reading

When Sacha Modolo today won his sixth stage in this year's Tour of Qinghai Lake, he joined an exclusive club of riders who have achieved the same feat in a single race. With a final stage remaining, he could become the first rider to ever win seven stages in one edition of an AsiaTour stage … Continue reading
In winning today's 123 kilometre stage, Sacha Modolo joined Australian Allan Davis (2007) and Slovenian Luka Mezgec (2012) with five stage wins in a single edition of Tour of Qinghai Lake. Bardiani Valvole – CSF Inox's unstoppable sprinter also took his home country's total stage wins to 19, since the race was inaugurated in 2002.
With appearances in Tour of Qinghai Lake, Tour of Hainan and Tour of Taihu ticked off in the second-half of his 2012 season, Benjamin Giraud was in China a lot last year; the 27-year old Frenchman graced the podium seven times, but always with another rider standing taller beside him. Today, he finally made the … Continue reading
The worrying thing for Sacha Modolo's rivals in this year's Tour of Qinghai Lake is not the fact he won his fourth stage today, it's the fact there are still four remaining. Does anyone else have a chance?
Points classification leader Sacha Modolo elevated the coveted green jersey further from the reach of his rivals, completing a hat-trick of victories in this year's race so far and continuing to frustrate ProTeam squad Lampre-Merida's search for its elusive first stage win in China.

Victor Stark was always neither good nor bad. He always had a knack for science and technology. He was also very rich and handsome. He was rich because he was the owner and founder of Stark Industries in latveria. During a scientific experiment with radiation and during a building session of a power suit Victor was fused with radiation and the power suit that he was building was infused in his skin and gave him nanobots that recreate his body exactly the same as he was before he died so he is viturally immortal. He also found out later that he was also a mutant who can have any powers he wants so he could be as weak as Aunt May or as strong as the Hulk. Influenced by both Iron Man and Doctor Doom he became a neutral hero vowing to destroy crime by killing criminals so that he can become ruler of a crime free world. He called himself Iron Doom.

Well, it's a bit different than being "plain evil", but I only recently realized that Google aren't the geeky, all helping and generous company they claim to be. In fact, the "don't be evil" motto is to be taken in the very strict sense of the words. Do business, make profit, don't help others, just without being evil. And it's a fine line...

Let's be clear, this camera is not a straight line upgrade from the 50D so if that's what you are expecting you may be surprised or disappointed. Canon is clearly repositioning the xxD line. The xxD line has always been in a bit of an odd space. Not an entry level DSLR, where Canon has the XS and T2i, which really isn't entry level any more, but not quite a pro camera, so what is it really? The 60D lacks some of the features needed to be considered a real Semi-Pro or "ProSumer� camera, whatever that is; however there are plenty of people doing pro work with Rebels, in theory a less capable camera series. It's ultimately about the pictures and here the 60D can shine with the best of them. IQ is terrific, on par with the more expensive 7D and little brother T2i due to the same 18mp sensor and Digic 4, high ISO performance while not revolutionary is very good, FPS at 5.3 is quick and good enough for most sports action and more. For a serious Enthusiast who wants a lot of features, better build and better performance (FPS, better metering, better battery life, etc.) than a Rebel this maybe the camera. Focusing is quick and accurate, the camera handles well in use, and controls are well positioned and easy to understand if you've had any other Canon. This is clearly an upgrade over the T2i, a very capable camera in its own right. In fact unless you're doing really demanding Pro work you probably don't need more than this, really. If you don't need 9FPS and lens micro adjustment, metal body and the higher price tag of the 7D but want more than the Rebels look at the 60D. The articulating screen alone may make this purchase worthwhile; meanwhile you have a top notch Enthusiast camera capable of pro level results.

I have owned XXD and Rebel series cameras since the D30 (3MP) and original digital Rebel. I was looking forward to a replacement to my 50D but to be honest, I was so disappointed in the 60D I returned it after three days. The image quality is as good as it gets in this class, but the build and feature set are Rebel class. In many ways, this was a downgrade from my 50D due to the plastic body, SD card slot, and absence of lens micro adjustment. Had this camera been sold as a T3i/600D, it would have been a perfect replacement for my XSI. But I need something more rugged for my part-time pro work. The image quality is first-rate and I almost kept the camera just for the superb swivel screen. I hope Canon incorporates that feature on all of its new cameras. This would be a good camera for the first-time DSLR buyer, but than so is the T2i at a substantial savings. In the end however, I just couldn't justify a Rebel series camera as a replacement for my rock solid 50D, so I returned the camera (at a 15% loss). What helped my decision was two days after I bought the camera, a competitor released a camera with 39-point AF system with 3D tracking and 2,016 pixel RGB metering sensor, metal body, GPS compatible, twin memory card slots (though SD) - the camera the 60D should have been. Maybe when the 70D comes out?

A really good overall camera.

Comments about CANON U.S.A., INC. Canon EOS 60D EF-S 18-200mm IS Kit:
I bought this camera new May 2012 and it has performed flawlessly since. The flip out screen is very nice for awkward angle shots, the shutter is quiet (quieter than my 70D) and the 9 point autofocus is fast very accurate. Autofocus via live view uses contrast detect and is quite a bit slower but accurate. Exposure metering is very accurate and plays well with my Canon flashes. (580 EX II, 420 EX and 270 EX II) The IR wireless slave flash control is very useful. Does not focus like a camcorder when shooting video. Need a 70D, 7D MkII or Rebel T4i or later for that. (See my 70D review). Ergonomics and menus are very good. You can repurpose most of the buttons on the back too. Uses "multi controller" as opposed to a joystick on previous xxD models. Nice fit for my hands and my wife's who inherited this camera when I got a 70D.

Great all around camera
By Ranchhand
from Texas
I bought My 60D 3 months ago.Brand new to me and I have not regretted the money well spent, The egonomics for one are good for someone with large hands, the grippy texture helps to hold the solid heft of the camera with a 70 to 300 EF lens at work..this is no studio queen..this is out of doors, on the field and in the weather. Never fails. Ive two lenses..the mentioned 70 to 300 and an 18 ro 135 EF-S. Beautiful captures in extremely low light conditions, If you work your craft, get to know the Camera,you will not be disappointed with the excellent results. Lightning shots, stars, eclipses..all are in your grasp. Sunsets are an extreme joy to capture in full manual mode. Colors are rendered faithfully as you desire. In full auto mode, it is easy to get the wow factor shots as well. Video is a wonder as well. Need a Black and White movie? Why yes, again, in full manual mode, you can. There is only one drawback.. A monaural mic. That is easily rendered moot by adding any stereo mic available to be kitted to the 60D. Shoot both Jpeg and RAW, single and both at same time. This Camera will go where ever you are ready to go..when you are ready to go. The Battery life of the OEM battery is amazing! As for bumps,and bruises..sadly i dropped it last week. The material is physically discolored..that is it. The Camera works perfectly, the fall was onto the floor from the center console of a 11 F 250 onto the rubber floormat..a distance of around a foot. It may not sound like much...but it did impact, and still works. I would recommend this Camera to everyone.

Won't work with Yosemite 10.10!
By RGH
from Boone, NC
I love this camera except for one thing. We now run an all-MAC household - all the computers are MAC, as are all devices. They are all up to date re OS, which means that there is no way to get photos from the EOS into any of the MAC devices. Canon should warn people before they buy the camera that they cannot use it with Macs, as this failure to keep the utility updated means the camera is useless. I've downloaded the supposed "fix" - the Utility2 - and it doesn't work. I'm not sure if this is a firmware or a software issue, but it is unacceptable. If there is a genuine solution to this issue, then your failure to post it prominently on the EOS60D page is an information-delivery issue. either way, again, this is unacceptable.

My favorite camera so far
By Tweet150
from Minnesota
This is my 4th Canon SLR and I love it! I got the 60D when it launched and I have not been disappointed yet. It's a little heavy, but I expect that in a good product. I use it for weddings, portraits, landscapes, macro, travel, sports, everything. It goes with me everywhere I go. It's easy to use, there is a ton of different functionality so you can personalize it to your needs. Paired with the right lens you can capture absolutely amazing photos. I am more than pleased with this camera. I am sure there are bigger and better out there, but for the price and options it's a great investment!

Best camera I purchased. Easy to use features. Manual feature is like the old canon cameras.
Just OK
By GreenMonstah
from Albany NY
I was forced to purchase this after my 50D broke and by that time, that model was discontinued. My biggest gripe witht he 60D is the mirror shake. I do a lot of macro where the detail and sharpness really count and more often than not, the image is not crisp from the mirror vibration. It's on a tripod and I use a remote shutter release. There should be no blur. It's terrible in low light situations, producing very noisy images. I also don't really know why Canon is such a big fan of the HD video. Unless you're doing interviews where the subject is stationary, it's pretty impossible to take usable video on this because while there is autofocus, it is not constant and is very slow. Canon, you should just stick to pictures. If someone wants video, they'll buy a camera specifically made for it. Despite the gripes, I have been able to get some pretty decent pictures. The movable screen has helped in a few situations where I needed to put the camera over my head and needed to compose my shot or if I was on the ground taking a picture of a flower at an upward angle and couldn't look through the viewfinder. Overall, I'm disappointed with the performance of it. This camera definitely wasn't worth what I paid for it. I can't wait until I can afford the 5D Mark III.
Fantastic camera

I personally enjoy the physical body of this Canon camera over the other cameras I own. And the adjustable display screen is also an extremely useful tool to have while filming or using a a tripod. Overall, I am quite satisfied with this Canon product so far!
Great camera
By jpmalonesr
from Owego, NY
Even though I just got this camera I love it. There are so many features that it is not an easy camera to learn but my experiences with using the XT, XTi and Xsi have smoothed over the edges. I wouldn't have wanted to come into this camera cold. Before I actually got the camera I downloaded a pdf of the users guide. This is one of those rare times when I would advise anyone interested in this camera, or any of the advanced Canon EOS cameras, to READ THE MANUAL.

State Street Digital Helps Milwaukee Area Businesses Reach Online and Grab Customers
As more and more consumers turn to the Internet to conduct research before they buy, the quality of online content and reputation management are increasingly important. State Street Digital brings together seasoned marketing professionals and the industry's best practices to help companies compete and win using the web.
Consumers today are still primarily buying goods and services at local brick and mortar locations , but they are also increasingly conducting research online before making their purchasing decisions.. To help businesses build an online presence that professionally represents their brand and sites that are easy to discover and navigate, Milwaukee social media and Internet marketing firm State Street Digital has launched a range of high quality digital marketing services.
"We realize business owners are busy with their keeping-the-doors-open tasks and may be neglecting their online audience or are simply unaware of the importance of their online presence," said Aaron Toynton, Director of Digital Business Development at State Street Digital. "Knowing that time is one of their most precious assets, our job is to establish, maintain and grow our client's digital footprint so that they can effectively compete in today's marketplace."
State Street Digital offers many services to help businesses market themselves effectively online, including:
- Website design, hosting, and ongoing management
- Social Media integration
- eCommerce solutions
- Website traffic monitoring and reporting
- Domain name registration
- Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
- Search Engine Marketing (pay-per-click)
- Technical support
- Email marketing service
- Directory listing management
- Reputation management
Just like in other marketing campaigns, getting found is paramount in online marketing. Since most consumers begin their digital research on search engines or Internet directories, State Street Digital's Directory Management Service ensures the business's accurate information is posted on over 50 national and local sites, including Google, Yahoo!, Yelp, Bing, yp.com and the Milwaukee Marketplace. "We have seen great success just by making sure the client's information is uniform and correct across the major directories, says Toynton. "We had a client move to the first page in Google's natural search results just from correcting incorrect phone numbers, addresses, and backlinks."
Finding the business is not enough. Consumers will only spend a few moments skimming a site before they decide whether to stay on it or move on—so a site must make a good impression immediately.
"Our websites are designed using industry best-practices to make them appealing and relevant to the business's demographic," said Toynton. "We focus on a user-centric approach when designing and developing sites for our clients--premium Websites designed to convert. We do this by creating a quality content destination for their business."
Social media is an increasingly important element of online marketing. According to shop.org, 42% of online consumers have followed a retailer proactively through Facebook, Twitter or a retailer's blog, and the average fan follows about six retailers. 58% of this group say they follow companies to find deals, 49% to keep up to date on products, and 39% to stay informed of contests and events.
Because they are free and accessible, social media sites offer a level playing field for the merchants who compete with much larger corporations. State Street Digital helps businesses by creating Facebook fan pages, blogs, Twitter and FourSquare accounts.
Before people take a chance on a new restaurant or other business they usually check out the review sites to see what other people are saying. In Milwaukee, online reputation management can have a huge impact on sales. The internet doesn't wait for your side of the story. Unaddressed bad reviews on sites like Yelp can sometimes spell ruin for small and mid-sized businesses that are judged by the character of employees and quality of goods and services. State Street Digital's Reputation Management Service is designed to help businesses by:
- Generating a visibility score, an overall average of the business's total online presence.
- Monitoring online social networks, blogs and directories for positive and negative comments and reviews so that the business owner can respond appropriately
- Producing a digital report card detailing the business's competitive standing, positive and negative reviews, and mentions
State Street Digital offers many other digital marketing services, including video marketing, search engine marketing (pay-per-click), targeted website display advertising, and email marketing that reaches out to the business's customers, and can be expanded to include local consumers who have signed up to receive offers from merchants.
Mobile advertising and marketing services are also available. Specific Milwaukee online advertising services can include JSOnline mobile site, pushing banner and text ads to iPhone and Droid users, and building mobile versions of websites or creating simple mobile landing pages so people can find them when they are on the go.
For more information about State Street Digital's online marketing services call (414) 224-2311 or go to http://www.statestreetdigital.com.

Great Value & Look Good
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
Test equipment: HK3490 stereo receiver and Sony compact disc player Test discs: Taylor Swift (1989), Lindsey Sterling, Fates Warning, Megadeth (Cryptic Writings, original issue) Previous loudspeakers: NHT SuperOne, NHT SB3 & PSB B6 I also considered Wharfdale, Audio Engine and Energy but those cost much more For this little cash the speakers perform well. They look nice and do not take up much room. Only 11 inches tall. I went by internet reviews since no mainstream magazines tested these. Good base but sometimes "thumpy"
Pros: Cheap, small size, look good, sound good too For $150 I do not feel that you can do better than these
Cons: If you spend $300-600 you will get a better sounding bookshelf speaker than this

Prime Minister celebrates LGBT History Month at Downing St
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Postponed until March 2009
The Michael Causer verdict shows there is nothing to celebrate. Holding a minute's silence in his memory, during this meeting, would be an appropriate gesture….
Any gay person who attends this event should ask the PM when civil partnerships will be available to heterosexuals and full marriage available to homosexuals
Anyone who thinks Brown is doing anything other than sucking up for votes is an idiot
Anyone willing to ask why the Pope has been invited into the country given Labour's prounouncements on extremism and homophobia and penchant for banning people from entering the country. Given that the pope has a dig at homosexuality every time he gets a chance and the Catholic church is currently working in so many countries against equality for gay men and lesbians, I don't think it is appropriate. Intrinsically disordered, a wound, worse than the destruction of the rain forests, sounds pretty much like extremism to me.
When they say "organisers and gay activists". Will this be Stonewall "representing us" as usual? In which case we shouldn't expect much progress from it.
Hello Alex, I have to agree with you, as the Director of a voluntary sector organisation who works (with no money or funding) at grass route level, including being the force OH YES IT WAS US behind the petitions requesting the home office and Hampshire constabulary to 'ban' the Phelps from entering the UK last week; attending the play to show our support – despite being 4 hours drive away from Basingstoke, giving up our own time, using our own petrol – Stonewall yet again claim victory for all this work despite Ben Summerskill and Peter Tatchell emailing me earlier that day to say they were aware of the Phelps threat but what did they do? I too am becoming tired of this super sales team; prostituting themselves to our public services, diverting the funding stream into their pond away from local organisations who are in touch with local individuals! I am currently undertaking local research to identify whether our local experience (LGBT lifestyle survey) mirrors the research Stonewall have published, but as yet have not met a person who has ever taken part in one of their surveys! Those which are used as 'get out of talking to us' reports by local authorities and seek to speak for us? I do not wave a banner, I do not scream with a loud speaker or seek to 'out' anyone who chooses not to be; but seek to work and ensure our lifestyle choice receives the respect the £140,000,000.00 paid by gay people in council tax across the Easter Region in 2008 demands! I urge every gay person to ask Stonewall "what have you done for me, as an individual what have you done"?
I think I agree with Peter Martin. Stonewall are really riding on the back of history, although the visibility is good for us all (visibility small groups could not afford). However, the usual (dated) Peter Tatchell quotes are getting as tedious as an outburst from Boy George! I wish Ben Goldacre would get involved and test some of Stonewall's 'statistics' and P.C. lobbying.
Furthermore, Stonewall appears to be a bit of a love-in for the gay scene elite, which riles me. Where is the representation from normal people? Where are the democratically elected figures? :)
In short, the patronising self-elected 'become our friend!' junk from Stonewall needs to stop and they need to be more open.

A inexperienced Slip is a kind of protection in Australia. It supplies you with safety from a damages declare in the event that you or the individual riding your auto is worried in a motor vehicle accident.
When you buy a green Slip you're participating in two schemes. The 0.33-get together insurance scheme, regulated by way of the Motor Accidents Compensation Act 1999 and the Lifetime Care and support scheme, regulated with the aid of the Motor Accidents (Lifetime Care and support) Act 2006. Your inexperienced Slip operates everywhere Australia, no matter where the accident involving your car happened.
But who and what's protected? Good, a green Slip will furnish compensation for men and women killed or injured in a motor automobile accident. This involves pedestrians, passengers, cyclists, motorcyclists and drivers of different automobiles and, to a lesser extent, the motive force at fault, and involves trailers under the greenslip of the towing vehicle.
A green Slip is not going to, nonetheless, cover the driver at fault to the full extent of the scheme, except the driving force is catastrophically injured (as defined by using the Lifetime Care and support Scheme), nor will it cover injury to your car or property, injury to different peoples' autos or property, or duvet you for the theft of your car.
The easiest strategy to evaluate costs of the insurers providing CTP inexperienced slip coverage is to go to the fee evaluation provider internet site operated by way of the Motor Accident Authority (MAA), the green Slip Calculator. There was a upward thrust in inexperienced Slip comparison websites across Australia in recent times, but the internet site operated by the MAA is renowned in the course of the country as being a peculiarly trustworthy source of knowledge. This price comparison provider will provide you with a rate for every insurer headquartered on your automobile and details. You will also receive contact important points for every insurer. Which you could then contact the insurer of your option to purchase your CTP greenslip, and the insurer will notify the RTA electronically. The fee evaluation service operated with the aid of the MAA only operates for common car classes, however. In case your automobile is just not a kind of blanketed by the rate comparison service or in case you desire to assert an input tax credit score for GST, you are going to have to both contact each of the insurers personally to examine costs, or use one more price assessment provider.
If you know the right way to go about doing it, selecting a green Slip may also be as convenient as looking for the place that you can get auto glass restore.

Mariscada En Salsa Verde (Seafood Stew in Green Sauce)
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 1 hr
This seafood stew gets it's green sauce from tomatillos and fresh parsley. I've adjusted the traditional cooking method a bit to, hopefully, bring out the flavors of the seafood with less of a "fishy" taste. This is a Spanish version, rather than Mexican or Latin American so it uses fresh parsley. If you prefer, you can substitute fresh cilantro for some or all of the parsley.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 226.79 g tomatillo
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 6 garlic cloves, chopped
- 29.58 ml olive oil
- 382.71 g unsweetened coconut milk (or whatever your can size is)
- 473.18 ml chicken stock or 473.18 ml water and 2 tsp chicken bouillon
- 236.59 ml dry white wine (like Pinot Grigio, one you would drink)
- 118.29 ml fresh parsley, chopped (about 1/2 a bunch)
- salt & freshly ground black pepper
- 2.46 ml hot pepper sauce
- 14.79 ml butter
- 113.39 g large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 113.39 g sea scallops
- 2 lobster tails
- 12 littleneck clams
- 12 mussels
- 113.39 g squid, bodies washed well and cut into rings (calamari)
- fresh parsley, optional for garnish
- heavy cream, optional for garnish
- Cook tomatillos in boiling water for about 3 minutes (they will change color), cool off in cold water for a couple of minutes, then chop in a food processor.
- Add onions and garlic to food processor and coarsely puree.
- Heat oil in a large saucepan and saute puree until onions are tender, about 5 minutes (I know this is hard to tell, but use your nose; the puree will smell strongly of onions, but once done, the aroma will be lessened).
- Stir in coconut milk, chicken stock, wine, and parsley; season with salt and pepper and hot sauce.
- Cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium high heat; add shrimp and saute until slightly seared, but not necessarily cooked through (will finish in the sauce), about 1 minute per side; set aside.
- Saute scallops until seared, about 2 minutes per side (will also finish in sauce); set aside.
- Wipe out skillet and add about 1/4 cup water and and lobster tails; cover and let steam about 3 minutes; snip in half, lengthwise, with kitchen shears, and set aside.
- Add clams to skillet, cover and cook clams, shaking occasionally, until one opens, then add mussels.
- Re-cover and cook, while shaking pan occasionally, until all shells open.
- Add seafood, including squid (calamari) to salsa verde and heat through, about 10 minutes.
- Serve with optional garnishes.
- Once, salsa verde is finished simmering, pour it into an oven-safe covered casserole (a pretty one for serving).
- Add seafood, stir, cover, and bake at 325 degrees F until bubbly, about 30 minutes.
- Bring to the table in the casserole dish; pass optional garnishes.

I just finished making a big pot of this stew - it is DELICIOUS! I used clams, mussels, crab and shrimp, and cooking white wine. I also used more garlic, onion and parsley than the recipe called for, and added an entire hot pepper, instead of hot sauce (we like our foods spicy). I also added the clams and mussels directly into the sauce instead of "precooking" them...it came out perfect. Definitely a restaurant quality dish at home! My fiancé devoured it. Will definitely make again.

Don't bother with conversion slides. Buy a real Bb.
"I was performing professionally at age 17 and have never had a real job." Allen Vizzutti
Better than the conversion slides is transposition. It is good for the brain, and stops the player (or student) next to you copying your fingering dead in their tracks--always fun!

I had a set of C to Bb slides for my C Strad trumpet. The intonation is pretty squirrley with them - I wouldn't waste the money. New, they will cost you around $650 (discounted price), a few hundred dollars less than a good used Bb trumpet, so I'd just buy a Bb horn. In fact, that's what I did. I bought a Bb Strad and sold the slides on eBay a year or two ago.

Forget about making a trumpet something that it isn't.
A C-trumpet is not a Bb with shorter slides. It is a creation in itself. The leadpipe on a C is much shorter and the taper is optimised for that key. Adding longer slides screws the proportions up and there is no hope for success. If saving money is the reason that you are considering this, look for a used Bb, that has a very good chance for success!
Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.
I have a set and tried them once. It was interesting yeah that's it intersting. I am planning on turning them into pencil holder or something else. I second and third and what ever the statement go buy a new or used Bb.
Per aspera ad astra
Thanks all for your responses. I'll be taking your advise and forget the Bb slides (very expesive pencil holders!). I'll have a go at transposing and will look for a second Bb when the time is right.

ITEM#: 13874258In A FISH CALLED WANDA, veteran director Charles Crichton and scriptwriter-star John Cleese create a dazzling quilt from various strands of English and American comedy. The plot, in which four disparate characters attempt a daring heist, comes from Ealing caper comedies, such as Crichton's own THE LAVENDER HILL MOB. Cleese and Michael Palin, as the hit man with a stutter and a love of animals, come from the anarchic tradition of Monty Python. The movie pays savage tribute to another Ealing comedy, THE LADYKILLERS, as Palin attempts to kill a witness to the gang's getaway. The glamorous con woman (Jamie Lee Curtis) is from Preston Sturges's great comedy THE LADY EVE, while Kevin Kline provides his own unique feverish comic intensity. But, in the midst of this breathless comedy, something else happens. The barrister, Archie Leach (Cleese), who is defending one of the gang, is jolted out of his tight-laced British existence by Curtis's life force. And Curtis--like Barbara Stanwyck in THE LADY EVE--falls into her own trap: falling in love with the man she's conning. The 78-year-old Crichton never before had such rich material. He times everything in this brilliant comedy with the precision of a Swiss watch.
