Manufacturers Use Evaluation Kits for Effective Lead Nurturing
Industrial Marketing Today
Forrester, CSO Insights and Marketo reported that lead nurturing produced much better results. Lead nurturing is usually done by sending out helpful content to prospects and moves them from the top of the funnel (ToFU) to the bottom of the funnel (BoFU) where they are ready to make a purchase decision. Lead nurturing plays an important role in industrial lead generation programs because it is rare that an industrial sale is completed on the first call or the first visit to the manufacturer's website. Still not convinced? Some refer to this as "drip marketing.".

11 Web Marketing and Social Media Trends That Will Shape 2014
2014 is going to be a killer year for Social Media and Small Business.
Social Media allows small businesses to leverage technology to even the playing field with bigger brands and companies. In 2014, some of the trends we saw in 2013 will continue to rise while others will fall. But it all comes down to how you communicate with your customers, how you leverage relationships, and of course how you share GREAT content.
Content is what businesses are built on today. It always has been and always will be.
So without further ado, here are 11 trends for 2014 and how you can get ready:
1. Mobile Is About To Go Mainstream
Every website needs to be optimized for mobile. This means having responsive design and thinking about how people interact with your business via mobile devices should be one of your top priorities. As a small business it's time to make the switch to a mobile site if you haven't yet, and think about ways that you can get in front of your customers through their phone. Yes, this include Mobile Apps, SMS, and emails that are designed to be viewed on your cellular phone.
2. Niche Sites Will Make An Impact
As Facebook, Twitter, and Google Plus make it harder to get found organically, niche sites are going to prove to be more valuable than ever to get in front of your customers. Not only are niche sites highly targeted, they can also provide a much more affordable solution for advertising.
3. Blogging Will Remain The #1 Way To Generate New Business
Creating great content on a regular basis and driving traffic back to your site is going to remain the number #1 way to generate new leads. This means as a small business, if you don't have a blog yet, it's time to start one. Let us handle it for you. We're the pros.
4. Spammy Content Will Be Eliminated Everywhere
We've seen it happen on Google and now it's happening on Facebook. Spammy content is not going to get you anywhere, and the big sites are cracking down. Think about creating valuable content that resonates with your customers.
5. Google Plus Will Grow Faster Than Ever
G+ is my new favorite social network. With the search benefits from Google and the increased user base, it's likely that your audience will be making the move from Facebook to G+. Being a step ahead of the game is a good idea. Plus, they are about to launch promoted posts (+Post ads) that will get your content to a larger audience than ever before. Get on Google Plus as soon as possible.
6. Triggered Emails Will Increase Sales
Consumers are looking to connect with brands and by providing custom content for them based on their behavior is going to help you increase your sales. We love Infusionsoft, and you should too.
7. Ambassadors And Influencers Will Hold The Power
Influencer marketing and word-of-mouth marketing is going to be one of the most powerful ways to get in front of customers in a new way. By empowering your best customers to spread the word for you, you can gain trust in a new audience and hopefully turn them into new customers.
8. Image-Centric Sites Will Continue To Rise
Instagram, Pinterest and probably many more sites will come about in 2014 that are based around images. While text is not dead, you need to think of ways to incorporate images into your strategy that compliment your written context.
9. Video Consumption Will Increase
Whether it's an educational video or an ad, consumers will look to video content to learn about businesses. Video will continue to create meaningful relationships between business and consumer. Think video customer service here. Oh, and many times they will be watching video on their mobile phone. You know what that means. SEE #1 above.
10. Sharing Will Be More Important Than Ever
Social media sharing will be get ramped up and everyone and their mother will be doing it. While this is a good thing for getting your content shared, it also presents challenges to get found. The key here is to communicate to your customer directly and relevantly and you'll be found. Plus, it's going to help your search rankings.
11. Marketing Will Be About Adding Value
It's no longer about pushing yourself out there, it's about how you provide value to your customer that matters. Whether this is through blogging, video, or email marketing, in order for people to stay engaged, they have to perceive value.
2014 is going to be an exciting year. Be sure to stay on top of as many of these exciting Social Media trends and Online Marketing trends as you possibly can.

Great post, Stephanie!
A good editorial calendar should be able to publish to social media sites. It should work with Twitter and Facebook because that's where your customers hang out. Even better, it should combine content curation with content creation. Namely, it should be very easy to curate content, but also very easy to integrate with existing blogging platform like WordPress.
ContentDJ has a good social media calendar(http://bit.ly/1nq15fC). It integrates with Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Wordpress. Each social account is color coded. You can drag and drop to schedule posts.
The tool also helps you find the most shareable content to publish. -
Jan 28 Posted 3 years ago
I totally agree with this blog. The most valuable assest for the niche sites is the content. After Google the social media sites like Facebook are eliminating the spammy comments. Having relevant content can have a high impact on the customers and will help in building your business a brand.
Jan 15 Posted 3 years ago
Completely agree with this blog, mobile has to be at the forefront of everyones mind when vcreating content this year.
I really believe that video is going to be the best route to engagement this year, but more specifically short-form video. The sooner businesses can get their heads round Vine and Instagram Video the better.
I wrote a blog on what I saw as being big in 2014 and the top 2 for businesses were Video and Location apps (foursquare). Good to hear others saying similar :-D
Jan 10 Posted 3 years ago
Stephanie, I totally agree with your comment about blogging as the #1 way to generate new leads as content is always king. However, if you manage to bring in people, is there a way to find out who your visitors are so that you can reach them before you lose them.
I tried google analytics, but it doesn't seem to show much about companies and contacts. I heard of leadlander, but it seems to be pretty expensive. I also heard of meetleads as a free alternative, but it's somewhat new. Do you have any suggestions on any free services? Thank you.

Thanks CJ! I'm glad you liked it. Niche sites will be key. Good luck. I think you'll do very well.
Jan 3 Posted 3 years ago
Great article Stephanie! I am using a lot of those trends now. Another trend that is coming back to life so to speak is podcasting. People are always on the go and they listen to a lot of audio so this is another way to reach your customers.
Jan 2 Posted 3 years ago
Great to see responsive websites at number one, Stephanie. Anyone looking for a re-design or new site this year should be aware anything else will be outdated as soon as it's built.
Jan 2 Posted 3 years ago
Nice Stephanie.
Love #7 and have plans to create some meaty content on the subject.
Hard to agree on #4 though. Maybe spammy content will be discouraged everywhere? Eliminated? Don't we wish.
Jan 2 Posted 3 years ago
Stephanie, your list is spot on in my opinion. Especially about Google + and niche sites really gaining traction for businesses and individuals to spread their brand awareness. Personally, I am finally beginning to see how Google + can yield me professional contacts and leads. I am really going to focus on niche sites like Quora, BlogHer, and Care2 in 2014 to create deeper engagement with readers and potential clients.
Thanks for the insightful article :)

looking for some quiet nice sireen spots to fish, non crowded, not too far from tacoma area(50 miles or so. Day or evening. My dad and I are just starting out flyfishing. Got the gear, need to know where to go, thx. :THUMBSUP
If the secret spots were posted on the internet they wouldn't be secret anymore. Finding new places on your own is just part of fishing. Even on most crowded rivers you can find some places to yourself if you do some walking.
You hit the nail on the head cuponoodle. For all you rookies out there... Fly fishing is a great sport/hobby that is rich in tradition. You won't find a nicer bunch of people, but there are some things just too sacred that not even the kindest soul on earth can share. As such, it does the sport (and you) a favor by not having people share "uncrowded" fishing holes on busy internet sites like this. Don't get me wrong. Everyone appreciates the info on a site like this. I know I do. If you read through this you'll get a lot of information about gear, flies, etc. But half the fun of fly fishing is finding those "uncrowded" spots on your own. When you see access info about the rivers and lakes that are no secret feel free to share, but don't expect to find out about the next great "uncrowded" river on a website. As soon as you do, hundreds of others will too. One tip, if you want to avoid crowds: Don't go anywhere that's been freshly featured in a publication (ie. Fishing & Hunting News) or website. You won't be alone if you do.
well i thought i would try anyway. I expected that answer after I posted it. Any suggestions for beginners that I should know. Thanks for the replies! :THUMBSUP
Actually, the best way to ask this question is to ask "What places should I avoid while fly fishing?" Then we will line up to tell you: My favorite is never fish fortson's hole on the stilly or Reiter Ponds on the Sky, or Tokul Creek on the Snoqualmie on the weekends. They are wall to wall with gear guys and a decent fly drift is impossible to obtain. If you want to be alone on a river, there are literally thousands of miles of water on the west side that see few, if any fishermen. Basically, I just don't go to the name brand places: Rocky Ford, Lone Lake, and Dry Falls lake are not on my A list. My A list is made up of places that most people don't fish, or places they do fish, at other times of the year. The least crowded place to fish in this state are the beaches for Sea-Run Cutthroats. Its most common when I go that I see no one fishing, much less with a fly rod. As to tips for a beginner, I would suggest lake fishing out of a boat, canoe or raft, as when your arm gets tired, or you get frustrated, you can always troll flies. Rob
Hey, many a many day we all have driven, hiked, walked and bush-whack'd for NOTHING! I would as I am sure all of us would have to take our shoes off to count all the times exploration turned into "Well, at least I was on the water" trips. So, grab yourself a state map, start hitting water! When ya hook fish and there is nobody there, you have found your spot! Good luck! Not to sound like an ass or anything, but I firmly feel one has to "Pay their dues", I know I did! Good luck and stick with it! Xstream! "If it aint wet, it aint xstream"
To start with most rivers are closed until June 1 so check your reg book. After June 1st there are tons of river areas you can find by using a good map and a set of hiking shoes. I find most of the rivers areas along trails starting from up and down I90. While I may come across other people hiking in these areas I do not find many fishing them. They are often shocked to see some one with a rod in hand in most of the areas I go. I myself plan to find many more new areas to try this summer using a map and my feet to explore new areas. It is rare for me to fish the same river area along I90 twice in a summer. Word of advise for a begginer would be to not over look smaller rivers, stay low so as to not spook the fish, remove your wrist watch so the flash does not hit the water and make sure you are good at casting first including while sitting down or on one knee. Be ready to lose flies in the trees because you will. In small rivers do not wade in, there is no reason to and you will scare the fish. Small rivers mean sight fishing so use stealth. Also be aware that most of the rivers that are not crowded are catch and release only that may be part of the reason that they are non-crowded. One last thing be ready to put lots of miles on your feet and pack like you are going for a long hike you never know what mother nature might throw at you or where your adventure might take you. Since most secret spots are still just that, pack out everything you pack in so that they stay that way. The fun of a secret spot is finding it and making it your own for a time. ROFESSOR Oh and if some one want to know some of the secret river areas I am talking about. forget it I have already said all I am going to.
Caddisaction, Hi. You've already heard about people not giving up their favorite spots, so I'll only second those cautions. Here are a few ideas that might help you and your dad find some really cool places that are known only by the two of you. Get a good map book, it's worth it. Spend some time frequently and money occassionally in your local fly shops. They know where the great spots are, and might help. Look for altitude and seclusion, above natural and man made barriers. Trout there will be uneffected by anadramous species. I like creeks that have consistant water supply, never dry up. :SAD It's best to hike a little. Not necessarily miles, but at least a few hundred yards, bush whacking too. The fish don't move around in the small streams that much, so the areas right next to the parked car have few fish after a few weeks of pressure. Don't worry about the crowds. I've fished several years now and the only others I've seen are people that are with me, unless I'm steelheading the larger rivers. A previous poster said he rarely if ever fishes the same spot. I'm not that way. I'll revisit a spot as many as 5-6 times if I know there are fish there. So, I'm very particular about careful C&R so that the fish population stays healthy. I like the suggestion to carry out all your garbage. But if I go to a lot of work and find a good place, I'll pick up other litter too. No point in letting others see it's a popular area. I rarely get skunked, it only happens on rivers or creeks that are new to me. You'll find your niche in flyfishing, and your spots will be yours. Practice casting at home. 15-20 minutes at a time several days a week is not too much. Remember, time on the river is for fishing, not casting practice. Tie up lots of those caddis patterns, you'll need them. :COOK Flyfisher Frank
I know hard hard it is to start out and the best 15 bucks you'll ever spend is on your Washington Atlas and Gazeteer. My advice is forget about going north, head south...now that the Deschutes is catch and release, we need more eye's on the river watching for worm chuckers. Try walking the 3rd hole at Tumwater golf course...it may be crowded, may not be, upper Nisqually can be good at times for rainbow. Good Luck :THUMBSUP
Yes. Pay your dues, blah blah blah. I'm sure you'd like to know who you're supposed to pay. Jeez you guys; we can throw the kid a bone. There are places out there besides Rocky Ford and the Yakima that are still not anybody's "secret spot." The crowded places are crowded for a reason; they generally have the best fishing. Uncrowded places are usually that way because they are very hard or expensive to get to, or the fishing is kind of marginal, or some combination of the three, not necessarily because nobody knows about them. Sure there are exceptions, and those are the places people have every right to guard, within reason. There are other places though that plenty of people know about but not a lot of people fish, often because most people want to be where they think the fishing's better. But that doesn't mean you can't have fun there, particularly if you don't like crowds, and you shouldn't have to feel bad about asking where they are. Out on the peninsula, the Dicky River, the upper Solduc, and the south fork of the Hoh are just a few streams that offer decent if spotty cutthroat fishing and minimal crowds in the summer and fall. If anybody feels I've given up their "secret," they should've taken a look at Fishing Holes, STS, any of several flyfishing magazines over the last decade or so, or the "info" board at any number of regional fly shops; that boat has sailed my friends. The Elwah in Olympic National Park offers uncrowded fishing for nice rainbows all summer. It's not a secret, just a long walk. I know that's farther than you're looking for, but often that's part of the deal, or "paying your dues." (And yes, check the regs before you go anywhere.) Yes, pay your dues. Get a Gazetteer, and a copy of Flyfishers Guide to Washington by Greg Thomas, and the Washington State Fishing Guide #8 by Terry Sheely (there might be some #7s out there with a Stan Jones byline; the #8s are fully updated). The WSFG is not a fly guide, but it has every puddle and rivulet in the state; read between the lines and then explore to find your own secret spots you can get snotty about. But having the nerve to ask questions is part of paying your dues too. Keep asking, at flyshops, outdoor shows, and yes even on internet BBs.
I think everyone is always trying to answer the same question. I tend to be after steelhead, and one thing you'll find is that the metropolitan area rivers that are known for steelhead or other anadromous fishing can consistently be pretty crowded, other than maybe during the week. I think if you want solitude, your best bet is to avoid the anadromous fish-bearing streams (e.g., Snoqualmie above the falls, particularly Middle and North Forks as far away from I-90 as you can get) or rivers that aren't reputed to be good for anadramous fishing. In the latter category, you might try the Tolt River, which flows into the Snoqualmie just above Carnation. I fish the lower section (accessible near the bridge that goes over the Tolt) with some frequency in the summer and don't usually see many people there. The fishing is pretty inconsistent, but it's not bad for solitude. There is also access to the Tolt further up river. There's a road (can't remember what it's called) that you get on kind of in the middle of Carnation that eventually travels near the river (you can figure it out by looking at a good map). There are a few spots you can pull over on this road once it gets close to the river (one obvious one, marked - I think - with one of those Public Fishing signs, and a couple that are less obvious) with good access to the river. The state owns easements along the Carnation side of this section of the Tolt, so you actually have the right to wander through people's back yards along the river - the easement extends back from the high water mark some number of feet (I can't remember how many; I stay below the high water mark or as near as possible). I've never run into anyone fishing this section of the river. A couple of other tips: (1) unless you're going during the middle of the week (and even then don't get your hopes up), you are not likely to find much solitude on any of the metropolitan area rivers near the places where people can park, so if you can find places that have trails that allow you to hike away from the public parking areas, you're more likely to find some elbow room; (2) when you plan your trip, it's best to have at least two backup spots planned in case the first one or two you hit are crowded - better to have planned that in the calmness of your house the night before than next to a river in a car loaded with fishing gear as the clock is ticking; and (3) look through the regs for rivers or sections of rivers that are under selective gear rules. Regulation makes these streams off limits to about 75% of the fishing population - not a guarantee of solitude (e.g., North Fork of the Stillaguamish, which is fly fishing only for about 6 mos. of the year, can be crowded) but I think it ups your odds. Oh, and if you really want to increase the odds of finding solitude, don't forget there's about 4,000 miles of beaches on Puget Sound.
Lots of wind on this string, here is my two cents worth. Most flyfishers are lazy. If you are willing a walk, even for 5 minutes, you can just about always find a spot to have mostly to yourself. Every river has crowded spots and uncrowded spots. Nobody has a secret river, just their spot. Exploring and getting out and about is great, actually catching a fish is a bonus for me. (If I set myself up to only judge my fishing trips by fish caught, I never would have made it through my first few years fishing, enjoy getting out into the woods and finding "your" spot) Before I sign off, get a washington atlas!! It will be the best 20 bucks you spend on fishing gear, I promise. Good luck!
Alessis: I would strongly disagree with you about FF's being lazy. How many FF's do you see sitting at launch areas, fishing docks or along a bank? In addition, you won't find alot of anchored boats, pontoons or tubes, unless chronie fishing, on lakes. Sorry, but you picked the wrong type of fisherperson to describe as "lazy". Plus, we don't hide in the trees on no bait lakes....

The dogs have been plowing through the snow in the backyard with no problems. LittleDog seems to like the snow more than Sam does. I shovel a path around the yard for them but they always forge their own paths anyway.
Last weekend brought us a beautiful light, fluffy 12" of snow.
wah, wah! First pair ever to wear through...have you ever darned a handknit sock? I'm going to have to do some research on this. I certainly won't be throwing them away.
I'm ready to pick up the thumb stitches on the mitt I've been working on. I really like how these look and they are not difficult.

What Does the L and 2 Mean on a Car Gear Shifter
Related Questions
- Design A New Exotic Car What Would It Be Like I like to make up new car designs in my spare time. Here's one that I came up with: Buick X9 (I think it's cool when unlikely brands produce
- What Do I Do If My Manual 4×4 Shifter Is Real Stiff When Engaging I need to use a jack handle to help push it into 4 wheel drive. what can be the problem? linkage? please help. thanks.
Answers for The Question
L= low gear 1-10mph
OD= Over drive, over 55mph, its safer on your engine.
2=second gear, 1-20mph
If its an automatic, the only one you need to worry about is the overdrive. Stick that on when your on the highway etc. -
Daniel G
The trans you have is a 4 speed automatic. The L is really first gear, the 2 is second and D is third/fourth. You should run you car in D. The overdrive should be turned on because of the gas milage difference.
L = Long drive
2 = 2nd level of speed
O/D = you can set-up your own speed level limits, normally, the maximum speed is set-up in the vehicle 120KMPH. If you cross the 120kmph limit, an alarm sound would make you to notify that you are exceeding the limit. -
L is first gear and 2 is second gear. In 2 the car will still start in 1st gear but won't shift past 2nd gear. Use these positions for engine braking going down steep mountain roads so you don't overheat your brakes. OD should always be on unless you are pulling a trailer or going up a steep hill where the engine is constantly shifting in and out of OD.
L is short for low or 1st gear. You might use this to pull a boat out of the lake or a trailer up and very steep hill until you reach level ground.
2 is short for 2nd gear and you might use this to pull a heavy trailer or boat up a hill or slow your descent down a hill. Going down hill with a heavy load will over heat the brakes and the only way to keep the vehicle from racing out of control down hill is to shift into L2 or "2" before you go over the top of the hill and start your descent. "2" or L2 will limit your speed to about 50 MPH going downhill and this is also the passing gear on a 3-speed transmission and even a 4-speed automatic if you stomp on the gas hard enough.When the overdrive button is on the transmission will shift into overdrive between 30-40 MPH and give you the best gas mileage. If the OD button is off then you will stay in 3rd gear in a 4-speed tranny. If you have a 3-speed tranny with a lock-up torque convertor, you will stay in 3rd gear and not "shift" into OD as the torque convertor will not lock up to give the engine and tranny ratio 1:1 for best mileage. This would be beneficial if towing trailer in speed zones lower than 55 and or hilly terrain where you need some uphill torque and downhill control.
Overdrive is when the tranny and motor are spinning at the same RPM's 1:1 ratio. Newer trannys will have 6-speeds and be even more efficient than a 3-speed lock up torque convertor or a 4-speed OD and even a 5-speed manual or stick shift.
Good Luck!
hi dear..
there are Japnies,Germen,Britsh,Friench,Itilan,Swedeish,USA,Russian,Romanian cars, all the cars have there own country gear shifting menual, (made for Export Only) most of EU cars are using gare shifting , as follows,
L = 1st. gare, driving speed is 0 to 15 Kmp,
S = 2nd., driving speed is 15 to 35 Kmp,
D = 3rd., driving speed 35 Kmp to, the end of mention speed on you speedomeater,
Plase note that on the new verson of cars ther is 4 speed and 6 speed gers also that is not menton on the gear transmeating lever, but most of the cars will shift the 4th. gear after 80 to 120 Kmp, and 5th.after 120 to 160 and upto the end of Kilometers,
some car's menfutucers, use 1,2, 3,
and some use 1,S,D,
and about OD,
pleas note that its meen OVER DRIVE, if you are driving over 80Kmps, then make it on, so it will shift the 4th, 5th, gears, one IMPORTENT notice, if you are on hi speed
(80 above) and you got somthing comes infront to your car, or little bit away from yor car, don;t be panic, and dont push your Braks suddenly, First quickely press OD( make it off) the push your car's breaks, it is safe way, 85% cnace to servive from the comening incedent. hope that is enough for you nedd more mail me on [email protected] i will give you more information you want. -
L locks the transmission in first gear
2 locks the transmission in second gear
Overdrive is used for highspeeds and it has a lower gear ratio and is more efficient

Godsmack, the most unoriginal and shitty band on the face of the earth, was playing a radio festival with a bunch of bands when their representatives and security staff had a run-in with Story of the Year, a pop-punk band also on the bill. I don't necessarily like Story of the Year, but my hatred for Boston's own Godsmack is unprecedented. Is it the pilfering of their name directly from the Alice in Chains album Dirt while also trying to sound like AIC sometimes? Yes, I hate that. Is it their cro-magnon, knuckles scraping-on-the-pavement music that attracts nothing but those without brain cells? Yes, I hate that too. That and a whole lot more. This world would be better off without that band.
Anyway, this is the account of the incident from Story of the Year on the Maverick website. If you go there, you can see some gross pictures of the blood and bruises caused by the representatives of Godsmack. Did I mention that Sully Erna can't sing worth a damn?
(Disclaimer: I know nothing about whether anyone referred to in this piece actually does or does not do drugs. I DO NOT have any problems with police, and I have placed the **'s in the middle of the eff word. These are the words of members of Story of the Year, and not mine. The only opinion I have here is that I don't like Godsmack. Enjoy.)
- Hello everyone. Something pretty amazing happened, and I would like to share it with you………..
- Last night, at a Radio Show in Indiana, my band (except for Josh, he was in the shower) and our tour manager was jumped by godsmack's production manager, crew, and security, along with local security. It was a pretty fair fight. The five of us vs. at least ten 200+ pound football reject, jock – coke head f**king piece of shit f**king losers. Almost a fair fight huh? So what did we do to deserve this you're probably wondering? It had to have been something really bad huh? Did we have sex with one of their wives? No, that's not why. Did we steal some of their drugs? No. Not that either. Did we sell their security some bunk steroids?. No. This is the awful thing that we did to get jumped..
- The show was in an amphitheater. We made everyone in the crowd jump, and asked everyone in the lawn to come down to the front of the stage. I can totally understand how this might have caused a little bit of a panic for the local security, but the show was sucking, so we had to make it rock. It's not like there was a riot or anything. It ruled. Apparently, godsmack's douche bag f**king production manager and crew didn't like this, so they we're backstage waiting for us……
- I'm going to stop the story right there just to reiterate the fact that this was a RADIO SHOW. NOT A F**KING GODSMACK SHOW. We were not opening for godsmack. We are not on tour with godsmack. The absolute fact of the matter is that neither godsmack's band or crew had any authority or say in anything regarding my band. It was simply none of their f**king business what happened on or off stage during our performance. It's funny that the only people in the whole f**king ordeal that were cool was the damn radio station. No one from WRZX said anything to us. Plus they didn't jump us.
- Anyway, we walked off stage excited, because we turned a shitty show into a f**king rock show. Within ten seconds of us finishing our last song, Godsmacks ugly dick faced production manager had his hands all over Dan screaming at him saying "Get the f**k out of here, you're not getting f**king paid" "Who the f**k do you think you are, you're not f**king rock stars"….Dan replied to the guys face "YEAAAAHHHHH ROCK AND ROLL! WAHOOOOO!" This really pissed off the piece of shit production manager. Our tour manager intervened and told the dude not to touch band members. What happens next? Three cro-magnon jock f**ks grabs our tour manager and holds him still so one guy could pummel his face. 4 of them jump on Adam and pummel his face. Dan, Phil, and I got hit, but not half as bad as they did. Josh walked off stage and went in the dressing room just 5 seconds before this happened and missed it. I did get to punch a dude in the face a couple of times. That ruled. Dan got to punch their production manager in the face, and Phil, god love Phil…He picked up a metal box and smashed the pussy face production manager in the head with it. I think It's still pretty safe to say we lost though.
- Let me again reiterate the fact that no one in godsmack's band or crew had ANY F**KING RIGHT TO EVEN SAY A WORD TO US. If we were opening for godsmack at one of THEIR lame ass shows or if we were on tour with them, then yeah, they've got the power, it's their show, they're in charge. But even then, kick us off tour, tell us to go home, cuss at us, don't pay us whatever. DON'T PUT YOUR F**KING GORILLA HANDS ON MY F**KING BAND. That's not business, that's f**king gang shit.
- So we just got jumped putting on a rock show, then to top it off, the f**king cops quarantine us in a 300 degree room while all the f**ks who started the fight walked around drinking beer and laughing about it. They totally started the fight, threw the first punches, and WE were f**king held in a room, then held in our bus. Then, the icing on the cake; an inbred cop with a handlebar moustache tells us "he's not putting up with our kind" and " the whole things a joke and he can personally guarantee that nothing will happen to anyone that kicked our ass"…. Eat another doughnut you power abusive f**king molester.
- So why f**k godsmack? Because their dickface crew jumped us and not one member of that f**king band bothered to come and apologize for it. Sully (the singer) walked by our dressing room, looked at us, and gave us a dirty look. No sorry my hoosier ass crew jumped you. No sorry my band hires irresponsible f**king criminals, Nothing from any of them. Awesome.
- It's funny that we played a radio show with all these hard ass new metal bands like godsmack, and they couldn't handle little old storyoftheyear's rock show. Sorry we're not 40 years old and we don't stand on stage like someone is forcing us to. Sorry we love our band and love to put on a show for people who pay 3 million dollars to see a bunch of dorky bands stare at their feet. So they took it upon themselves to jump us. Yeah, so f**k godsmack and their stupid f**king crew, and f**k every steroid using, jock f**king cave man security guard that thinks hitting a dude 200 pounds smaller than him is cool. Eat shit and die you f**king pussies.

Managing a household with multiple species can present many challenges. How you start out can determine whether you end up with a peaceful house – or one where your pets fight "like cats and dogs."
A match made in heaven
Both cats and dogs are born with inherent instincts, and often these instincts are in direct opposition to living with the "enemy." For instance, some dogs are meant to chase and kill small prey while others are meant to retrieve. Think about the breed characteristics of your dog, and be a good matchmaker before you embark on adding an additional species to your house. Adding a cat to a household with a dog who is not good with cats is a bad idea. Frightened cats will instinctively run from a dog, which in turn will stimulate the dog's instinct to chase. This can have disastrous effects – not only on the cat, but also on anything in the way of this duo!
I have found that it tends to work best to introduce a kitten to an adult dog, rather than a puppy to an adult cat. Cats tend to be set in their ways and don't always take kindly to you bringing home a busy, barking buddy, even if it is the cutest, cuddliest thing on the planet. If your cat is brought into the home when she is a kitten, she will have an opportunity to learn "dog language" and pick up on cues from the dog as she grows.
Fight the good fight
Even if your multiple species household is relatively peaceful, you still have challenges every once in a while. A scuffle will inevitably pop up now and then, so be prepared to try to break it up. Never reach into a fight between two animals, as this can lead to serious injury. Instead, try to distract the fighters by yelling or making a loud noise, or if needed, spray them with water. After the fight is over and everyone has had time to calm down, check both your dog and cat for injuries. Don't assume that it will always be the cat with the most serious injuries; I've seen some pretty terrible cat scratches and bites on dogs in my day.
Dinner is served
Dogs should eat dog food and cats should eat cat food. Sounds simple, right? Well, anyone who lives with cats and dogs knows how difficult this concept seems to our pets. The truth is, cats NEED cat food. For cats, taurine is an essential amino acid, meaning that they are incapable of producing it on their own like dogs (and humans) can. Cat food is supplemented with taurine, but dog food is not. If a cat fills up on dog food, she will be taurine deficient (a major contributor to heart disease). And eating from your dog's bowl may also incite the dog in the house to guard his food. Food guarding in dogs can become severe enough that the dog also applies the behavior to humans, which can lead to dog bite incidents.
If the cat can't eat the dog's food, it's only fair that the dog can't eat the cat's food. Cat food, especially when it is canned, can cause gastrointestinal issues like vomiting and diarrhea in your dog. If your dog has a sensitive stomach, it can be severe enough to require a trip to the vet for treatment (and an unwanted vet bill). Protecting your entire household with Petplan pet insurance is a great way to maintain peace of mind in multiple pet homes.
Finally, I have to bring up the uncomfortable subject of poop. Dogs love to eat poop! Especially when it is deposited on a somewhat regular schedule in a known place every day. In my house, they are called "sweet tootsie rolls" or "cat box crunchies." But in all seriousness, having a dog eat from the litter box is a terrible, nasty habit. Nip it in the bud by placing litter boxes out of the reach of your canine friend.

Last week we had a very special visitor in Room Eight, it was the teacher Mrs Kennedy from St Marys School in Mosgiel, whose on a tour of New Zealand for her masters! She delivered a thank you card to the students of Melville Intermediate who'd worked with her and the class.
This was very exciting for our students as although we've done lots of online work and met many students and classrooms its the second time this year that someone has come to school just to meet us! The Girls were also very excited by the gift that they received - which made a nice gift heading into the last week of school.
If you not already visited their wonderful class page then you can do so by clicking on the link for it on our sidebar, or by clicking on the link here, we've really enjoyed working with every class that we've networked with this year and the the school year is only half the way through!

"more great suspense"
I never know if these co-authored Patterson books are really him but the quality is as superb as any prior Patterson novel. This one moves quickly and offers suspense while including a heartfelt family angle as well. I didn't take my Ipod off from start to finish and I'm looking forward to Patterson's next two releases coming soon.
"Classic good Patterson"
At the First Lady's funeral, a small group of armed men kidnap everyone in church, filled with celebrities. The kidnappers seem to have everyone extremely well-planned, which means Patterson's plot is just as well-planned. The detective-negotiator lead, Mike Bennett has to solve it all while he struggles with his own personal/family life issues. A great mix of family-values, pathos, and action make this an easy listen.
Narrators John Slattery and Reg Rogers are a great mix, with Slattery providing a style like many of the the well-read Ludlum series and Rogers providing good spice with Christopher Walken-sounding characters.
"pleasant surprize..."
Actually, I downloaded this book because I was caught up with all the titles I really wanted to listen to. Thought it would be the typical James Patterson... which was getting boring for me.
I was surprized though... the story was tight and told well. The plot was interesting and all and all a good listen.
"Confounding and Sad"
The beautiful audible presentation make this one of the best Audible presentations I've heard. The story which spins abuot a skilled and insightful New York detective, a husband and father who carries very heavy personal concerns and responsabilities. Criminal activity so difficult to get your mind around. Lots of smoke and mirrors. It's just one of the best.
I love espionage, legal, and detective thrillers but listen to most genres. Very frequent reviews. No plot spoilers! Please excuse my typos!
"Modern Detective tragedy!"
This one, the first novel in Patterson's Michael Bennett series, pulls at the heartstrings. It is an excellent suspense thriller with a very likable protagonist. It is set in New York City. I'm accustomed to being disappointed by James Patterson's novels, but this series is an exception. Narration is unusual, but excellent.
"Good new character"
The beginning was very interesting and intriguing, but the ending seemed like Patterson rushed to finish it and left out alot of possibilities for a great ending. I like the new character(s)and look forward to more stories, with a bit more substance.
"Great Listen"
In typical James Patterson fashion, this would be a page-turner if it were in paper form. Highly recommend if you're a Patterson fan.
I fell in love with Mike and the all the kids!! I laughed, I cried, it moved me ;-) The villians are interesting and the heroes are people you would love to have over for dinner. The story has a good pace and the narration is well done. ( even the second voice was good it just took a minute or two to get used to.)The balance and insight into Mike's professional and personal life is well done.
Overall, good story.
"Good story but....."
This was definitely a good story but the lead character's behavior begs believability. He has a wife in the hospital, dying of terminal cancer and 10 kids at home who depend on him as they will soon have no mother yet he is the ONLY guy in NYC who can go in after the kidnappers, risking leaving those kids orphans? Really???
And why does one of his kids comment about the nanny's "funny" Irish accent when his mother's character speaks with the exact same accent? Doesn't make sense.
Then there is the issue where the dead hijackers are found with NO finger prints but later they break the case using FINGER PRINTS from the dead hijacker!
Numerous little conflicts like that kept me from giving it 5 stars but overall I liked the book.

- Professor of Cardiology (Emeritus) at the Harvard School of Public Health
- Developer of the direct current defibrillator
- Cofounded with Dr. Evgeni Chazov, International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, an organization which won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1985
- Cofounder of SATELLIFE, ProCor, and the Lown Cardiovascular Research Foundation.
- Author of The Lost Art of Healing: Practicing Compassion in Medicine and his most recent work, Prescription for Survival: A Doctor's Journey to End Nuclear Madness.
Dr. Bernard Lown is Professor of Cardiology Emeritus at the Harvard School of Public Health, Senior Physician at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, and the Founder of the Lown Cardiovascular Center and Lown Cardiovascular Research Foundation. A pioneer in research on sudden cardiac death, Dr. Lown developed the direct current defibrillator for resuscitating the arrested heart as well as the cardioverter for correcting disordered heart rhythms. He also introduced the use of the drug Lidocaine for the control of disturbances of the heartbeat. Dr. Lown's innovative research established the role of psychological and behavioral factors on heart rhythms and as provocative factors of sudden death.
As an author or co-author of four books relating to medicine and over 400 research articles published in peer reviewed medical journals worldwide, Dr. Lown's work is prolific in the world of cardiology. In addition to his most recent book Prescription for Survival, (published in July 2008), Dr. Lown has authored the books: The Lost Art of Healing (Houghton Mifflin, 1996), a critically acclaimed appeal for compassion in medicine and repair of the sacred trust that once bound physicians and patients in a healing partnership, and Practicing the Art While Mastering the Science (Harbinger Medical press, 1995) a collection of his ruminations on medicine.
Dr. Lown has long been an activist to abolish nuclear weapons and promote world peace. In 1962, he cofounded the Physicians for Social Responsibility (PSR) and became its first president. The organization helped educate millions of people on the medical consequences of nuclear war. From 1974 to 1975, he presided over the USA-China Physicians Friendship Association, and served as coordinator of collaborative studies with the USSR on cardiovascular disease on behalf of the National Heart and Lung Institute.
In 1980, he co-founded with Dr. Evgeni Chazov, of the former Soviet Union, the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW). Drs. Lown and Chazov served as IPPNW's first Co-Presidents, and in 1985, they were co-recipients of the Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of IPPNW. Dr. Lown is also the recipient of the UNESCO Peace Education Prize (with Dr. Chazov), the George F. Kennan Award, the Ghandi Peace Prize, and the first Cardinal Medeiros Peace Award, as well as 20 honorary degrees from leading universities both in the USA and abroad. In 1993, he delivered the most distinguished Indira Gandhi Memorial Lecture in New Delhi.
Dr. Lown is the founder and emeritus Chairman of SATELLIFE, an international non-profit organization that uses satellite and Internet technologies to serve the health communication and information needs of developing countries. Dr. Lown is the founder of ProCor, an ongoing, worldwide, e-mail- and web-based electronic conference that addresses the emerging epidemic of cardiovascular diseases in the developing world.
Additionally, Dr. Lown has delivered more than 150 named lectures globally. He has been five times named Master Teacher of the American College of Cardiology and has been selected honorary member of a number of medical and cardiac societies including those from Australia and New Zealand, Belgium, Brazil, Britain, Colombia, Croatia, Hungary, Mexico, Poland, Switzerland as well as the Institute of Medicine (USA). Dr. Lown is also Fellow, American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Among numerous other honors and recognition are the Golden Door Award; International Institute of Boston; the Dr. Paul Dudley White Award; American Heart Association; Distinguished Emeritus Professor, Harvard School of Public Health; Johns Hopkins School of Medicine Distinguished Medical Alumnus Award; and the highest recognition bestowed by Lithuania, the Cross of Commander of the Order of the Lithuanian Grand Duke Gediminas.
Dr. Lown graduated summa cum laude from the University of Maine and received his M.D. degree from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He lives in Newton, MA, with his wife Louise. They have three children and five grandchildren.

Something wrong with my ps3 or my router?
March 2007
I bought my ps3 recently and I have been trying to get online for weeks. I use wireless connection and it connects fine (for about 4 seconds)and then it says disconnected from network. It keeps saying that and i cant seem to find the problem:( Every couple of seconds it just keeps repeating itself. I've managed to actually go to a page briefly before it says that again. Can anyone help me out?
Lyndon M STAFF
March 2007
The problem is in the router settings- go in there and set up a custom IP address for the PS3in the DHCP section. You will need the PS3's MAC Address, which you can find under system info in the Settings menu on the PS3. Once you have that custom IP address made go into the PS3's network settings and add in the IP address. If you didn't before also put in the router IP, subnet mask and DNS servers.
March 2007
I actually typed the message wrong sorry:rolleyes: it says "you have been disconnected from the access point" every two seconds or something. what does that mean? please help me! i want to play online now
Lyndon M STAFF
March 2007
Same thing still applies- settings on both the router and the PS3 are making communication between the router and the PS3 impossible. Your wireless router is the access point the PS3 is talking about.
As I said before, go into the router settings and set up an Ip address to be assigned to the PS3 every time it wants to go online and then add that IP address to the connection settings on the PS3.
March 2007
ok i see my ps3 in the dhcp clients table does that mean its done because im still getting disconnected from access point
Lyndon M STAFF
March 2007
If it is there already you are halfway there. You should go into the PS3's network settings and add in the information I mentioned to the connection file. Tell the PS3 the IP address it will have, which you set up in DHCP, as well as adding in the other settings i mentioned (all of which can be found in the router status). Save it and this should hopefully cut out the disconnects.
March 2007
ok ive added all the information the ip address, primary and secondary dns server, default gateway. It still says disconnected from access point. Would it be because of the sony server or is it my router...
Lyndon M STAFF
March 2007
This has nothing to do with Sony's servers, it's the communication (or lack thereof) between the router and the PS3.
How far away is the router from the PS3? Would you be running any encryption on the router?
March 2007
Its very close as the signal strength is %80+ but isnt close enough to use cable. What is an encryption?
Lyndon M STAFF
March 2007
If you don't know what it is chances are it's turned off anyway. Encryption scrambles the signal from your router so that only devices with the right key or password can actually get online through your router.
80% should be fine but it seems the wifi card in the PS3 is somewhat lacking in quality, judging by other posts I've found around the web. How close is "very close"? In the next room, in the room downstairs ?
March 2007
the ps3 is just behind the wall from the router. PS. Do you have msn? its probly more convenient.
Lyndon M STAFF
March 2007
Yes i do have MSN- just click the logo for it along the top of my post over in the top right corner.
Using an ethernet cable would easily be possible if you don't mind having a small hole through the wall or run it under the floor where it would be less noticeable.

The process times are estimates and may depend on your bank in some cases – we clear (move) your money in to your CurrencyFair account as soon as it arrives.

Zack de la Rocha, Sound Strike, and Puente's April 23 Anti-SB 1070 March
VotoLatino is sponsoring a talk with Javier Gonzalez of Sound Strike on Twitter today at 4 p.m. Pacific Time
There continues to be a lot of kvetching from the local music "scene" here in Sand Land about Sound Strike, the ongoing boycott of Arizona by numerous acts over Senate Bill 1070.
But like it or not the Sound Strike, led by Rage Against the Machine legend Zack de la Rocha, has been effective, as has the boycott in general.
In fact, state Senate President Russell Pearce's recent loss on five pieces of anti-immigrant legislation is directly attributable to the boycott.

The Arizona Chamber of Commerce, which had stayed neutral on 1070, actively lobbied against those bills, fearing another 1070 backlash. CEOs of major corporations doing business in Arizona chimed in against the hateful measures. Why did they do this? Because of the impact of the boycott on their bottom lines.
It's also worth remembering some recent history. Zack de la Rocha was involved in pro-immigrant marches and other efforts in Arizona long before SB 1070 was signed into law. He's lead marches against Sheriff Joe Arpaio, and has selflessly given of himself, performing at the Phoenix human rights center Tonatierra, signing countless autographs, and speaking out against the injustices suffered by migrants in Arizona.
I would also note that prior to 1070 and the resulting boycott, these naysayers in the critical realm were, generally, silent.
Both the Sound Strike and de la Rocha have raised beaucoup bucks for pro-immigrant organizations such as Puente and the Florence Project. Rage Against the Machine reunited for a benefit concert in Los Angeles, donating the proceeds to organizations in Arizona.
Puente's leader Sal Reza told me recently that de la Rocha and Sound Strike have together donated around $100,000 to Tonatierra.This past Christmas, the Sound Strike sponsored a community posada, where tons of food and thousands of toys were given away to children and families.
Sound Strike and de la Rocha will be helping again, paying the tab for the bandstand and sound system for Puente's April 23rd march to the Capitol. April 23 will mark the one year anniversary of SB 1070's signing. Much of the law has been enjoined, but not all of it. and of course, it's still in play in the courts.
Until SB 1070 is off the books, Russell Pearce is out of power and Arpaio is no longer doing immigration raids and sweeps, I hope Sound Strike keeps up its efforts.
What puzzles me about its critics is that on the one hand, they deride Sound Strike as ineffective. On the other hand, they whine that it's hurting the "scene." Pick a lane, guys. And as far as the "scene" goes, I could give a flip. I care more about the civil rights crisis in this state, and Sound Strike's detractors should as well.

Community leaders have struggled to improve the area's low college-going rate for decades and say a grant received Monday by the city of Riverside and Riverside City College will make a big difference.
Using the $3 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Riverside city and education officials will aim to increase the number of high school graduates here earning a college degree by 5 percent so that by 2013, 20 percent will earn college degrees.
Nationally, almost 38 percent of adults have a two- or four-year degree.
Only 19 percent of adults 25 and older in the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario metropolitan area have four-year degrees, according to the Brookings Institute, a nonprofit public policy organization in Washington, D.C. The institute ranked the region as 94th out of 100 in educational attainment nationwide. The national average in 2008 was almost 28 percent of adults with bachelor's degrees, the institute said.
The three-year Communities Learning In Partnership grant from the Gates Foundation will fund a program that begins aiding Riverside students at the high school level, providing them with resources such as mentoring to continue on to college and earn degrees in areas where local jobs will be available.
"We feel this kind of collaboration between high school and college, city and education officials is absolutely essential if we're going to make progress," said Allan Golston, president of the U.S. program at the Gates Foundation.
In Riverside, a survey of high school graduates in 2002 found that 39 percent went on to college but only 15 percent earned degrees.
By the time the grant funding ends, those involved in the initiative say they want to increase that number to 20 percent.
"When we put the statistics up in three years it's going to be markedly improved," promised Riverside Community College District Chancellor Gregory Gray at a morning news conference at Riverside City Hall.
The grant funding is considered seed money for a long-term program.
Pamela S. Clute, assistant vice provost at UC Riverside and a mathematics professor, is on the steering committee of the two-county Federation for A Competitive Economy. FACE was launched by Riverside Community Foundation CEO Daniel Foster, Cal State San Bernardino President Al Karnig and UC Riverside Chancellor Timothy White. Its goal is to increase the number of students who enroll in college or job-training programs in Inland Southern California.
One year into FACE, Clute said the project is making strides but, she said, programs at various schools and districts don't work together as a regional campaign.
The program includes 18 public and private higher education institutions and promotes communication between educators about what helps students perform.
Clute said academic preparation needs to begin before the end of third grade because if students aren't reading at grade-level by then, they seldom catch up. Elementary students need to get ready for algebra before it is required in eighth grade. Schools also need to create a college-going culture, especially if parents don't, Clute said.
She said mentoring should begin in middle school while students are still young enough to be influenced.
Most of the region's middle and high schools mentor students in a program called Advancement Via Individual Determination or AVID, to prepare them for college.
AVID teaches students how to take notes in class, to form study groups and how to study, said Kenneth Young, Riverside County superintendent of schools. It also guides them in what high school classes they need for college and how to find financial aid.
Last year, 94 percent of AVID seniors completed all courses required for UC or Cal State admissions and 88 percent were accepted into a four-year school, said Miceal Kelly, AVID program manager for Riverside, Inyo, Mono and San Bernardino counties.
