Scott Sigler's Infected shocked listeners with a visceral, up-close account of physical metamorphosis and one man's desperate fight for sanity and survival, as "Scary" Perry Dawsey suffered the impact of an alien pathogen's early attempts at mass extinction. In the sequel Contagious, Sigler pulled back the camera and let the listener experience the frantic national response to this growing cataclysm.
And now in Pandemic, the entire human race balances on the razor's edge of annihilation, beset by an enemy that turns our own bodies against us, that changes normal people into psychopaths or transforms them into nightmares.
To some, Doctor Margaret Montoya is a hero-a brilliant scientist who saved the human race from an alien intelligence determined to exterminate all of humanity. To others, she's a monster - a mass murderer single-handedly responsible for the worst atrocity ever to take place on American soil.
All Margaret knows is that she's broken. The blood of a million deaths is on her hands. Guilt and nightmares have turned her into a shut-in, too mired in self-hatred even to salvage her marriage, let alone be the warrior she once was.
But she is about to be called into action again. Because before the murderous intelligence was destroyed, it launched one last payload - a soda can-sized container filled with deadly microorganisms that make humans feed upon their own kind.
That harmless-looking container has languished a thousand feet below the surface of Lake Michigan, undisturbed and impotent...until now.
Part Cthulhu epic, part zombie apocalypse and part blockbuster alien-invasion tale, Pandemic completes the Infected trilogy and sets a new high-water mark in the world of horror fiction.

My taste differs from kid books to gory horror books.
All books by Scott Sigler are entertaining. This is my fifth, I have yet to be disappointed. This third book in the trilogy was written five years after the first two. The first two were written before the Zombie craze and have no Zombies. This book has sort of Zombies and is a lot better than book 1 and 2, of which both, were good. Reading book one and two is not necessary to enjoying this book.
The Infected, remember their pasts when they were human. Some are very smart, some are strong, some are fast and none are rotting. They do eat humans. This is closer to Invasion of The Body Snatchers than a zombie thriller. Sigler must not like the Midwest, as he nuked Detroit in the last book and destroyed Chicago in this one. This book has science and explains how and why, more than other books of this type. It also has a little character development and some nasty twists and some gory stuff.
Post apocalyptic listener with some thrillers mixed in. Follow me on twitter at @drewsant
"buckle your seatbelt!"
Scott Sigler's first two books in the Infection trilogy mix action, blood and gore , and "Pandemic" is no different. Non-stop action with gory details put you in the middle of the action right from the start. Not for the faint of heart, this book will have you floored from cover to cover.
I'll admit I'm not a big Phil Gigante fan. Every time he does a woman's voice they all sound the same and I just don't think he does that good a job with the non-dialog stuff. That said his voices are pretty good and the production value is pretty good, but I'd much rather the author read this book like he did with the first two.
"I will never look at Triangles the same again"
I am a fan of the audiobooks. Due to my schedule and on the road a lot.
I really liked Margaret throughout the series. And she steps out more fully as a character in the third book.
Phil Gigante is one of my favorite narrators. Although Scott Sigler did the narration on books one and two in this trilogy, I had no problem with character identification in this book.
This trilogy grabs you and takes off like a rocket, but definitely should be read in order. 4 STARS
"written better"
hard to follow the story at first due to the main charters getting killed off last story and after listening to scott sigler the new reader is just kind of bland in comparison decent story but seemed like it was pushed for the happy ending kinda forced just happening to find hydras , but it fit things together decent listen
Say something about yourself!
"hard to stomach, but very well told"
The whole trilogy is very entertaining. At times it's quite foul, disgusting, disturbing, stomach turning, vomitous…but overall entertaining and well paced.
I do cringe at the sight of a sign post.
Scott Sigler ruined BBQ for me as soundly as Training Day put me off chunky peanut butter for life.
"Loved it!"
I truly enjoy Scott Sigler's books. This final book in the series is predictable yet still enjoyable. I wish Mr. Sigler would have read this one as with the others but still narrated very well.
During my commute Audible keeps me from going insane. I like books that keep my mind awake. No slow moving books here.
"A Good Ending to the Series"
During the time the audiobook was being complied all I could think of is, "How can Scott Sigler make the evolution of this alien species even creepier than triangles and sub-human kissy-face monsters?" Well he took it up a slight notch and I was not disappointed.
Audiobook-wise, Scott's stories always take you into a place your mind that makes most people uncomfortable. Sit in a car and listen and you will be asking yourself, "Could I take on the seemly nice lady in the car next to me if she got out of her car brandishing an axe?" "Would I be able to escape a horde of blood-thirsty teens waiting for me when I stop next to the bus stop?"
Anything in the Scott Sigler universe..
I wasn't thrilled to not hear Scott Sigler perform but Phil did a okay job in his place.
Sit in a dark room, turn on this audiobook and let the book help you create the scenes in your head. You will laugh, tense up, yawn (sorry there are some conversations that will make you want to fast forward) and many moments you will ask yourself, "could you deal with all of this?"
Vincent Ferrari
"A fitting end for an amazing series."
After putting this book down for a very long time, I picked it up again and I'm really glad I did.
One thing Scott Sigler does better than anyone else is put that knot in your stomach. That sinking feeling that "it isn't going to work out." That we're doomed. That bad things happen. That even main characters are expendable at all times.
This book starts out really slow and uncomfortable, which was why I put it down, but when you get into the story you realize how important those first few chapters are to the story. Without giving too much away, you spend most of this book going "Jesus Christ, how are they going to get out of this one?" Or "Oh my God, humanity is doomed." The lightbulb moments when scientists make progress make you go "Oh my God! We have hope!" You really feel invested in the whole story.
I loved this book way more than I thought I would initially. It might be my favorite in the series, the entirety of which is absolutely 100% worth reading if you haven't already.
Also worthy of note: That this is more "produced" than a typical audiobook made it so much more fun. I'm just wondering why if they were going to put all that effort into voices and modulating them, why not have a woman read the female parts?
Other than that, this one is a must-read and a must-listen!
"Quality, quantity. good all over. Buy it."
This is a worthwhile story. The entire thing is quality. There is no weak link. Buy it. Also check out The Rookie.
"Great read"
Loved the series. sorry it ended. Narrator was good too. Sound effects were good as well.
"what a way to go!"
best audiobook of 2014 so far
doctor feely good! such a contrast of characters traits all mixed up in one person makes for unexpected twists in the story
I first heard Phil Gigante perform Scott Siglers NOCTURNAL and it took me a couple of episodes to get used to his voice as its so deep, but he is very professional and draws you into the narrative until your fingers are clenched and your waiting with baited breath for what's coming next!
its an apocalyptic story so its going to have its gory moments that fill you with revulsion and fright , but it also has its lighter side that made me laugh out loud and a few where the story brought a tear to my eye
this is the 3rd in a trilogy so if you haven't read(heard) the first two I would definitely urge you to seek out the first two, if you haven't heard of scary Perry Dawsy and his eye watering scene with the chicken scissors then you haven't lived!
"Simply Brilliant"
Intelligent, unrelenting, brutal.
Why Dr Tim Feely of course. Read it and see why
Phil seems to improve with each production. Is voice is so smooth that you just fall into the story. His voice acting is great and he never misses a beat between characters. Some effects on the voice a little hard to make out but they sounded awesome.
This book made me laugh out loud, cheer, shed a few tears, and the punch the air and cheer some more.
Scott Sigler never disappoints. It was the first book in this series that got me hooked on his work and this third part Pandemic as ended it every bit as dramatically. Although following a three book arc, each book has it own style and feel and sense of dramatic tension and desperation for the characters.
This book is an epic of carnage, chaos and destruction but at the same time is funny engaging and will make you shed a few tears as well.
If unfamiliar with the trilogy do yourself a favour and start with 'Infected' and I guarantee you will be back here very soon to snap up this ball busting adrenaline ride of a concluding tome!
"Not as good as the first two."
Good narration. Irritating music. Bad writing in parts spoiled it. Some shocking and gruesome moments that were well written and cringeworthy bad writing in others. Predictable ending.
"Great story"
Having listened to most of Scott's work which is wrote and recorded by him I was a little worried about listening to a new performer but Phil Gigante did a great job on Scott's work.
I am not sure if it was because Scott was not the reader but the book did not feel as exiting and edgy as his other books. I would have liked Scott reading his own work but if it meant getting more books from the FDL with another reader, give me the books.
"A brilliant story told by a brilliant story teller!"
So many twists and turns and unexpected paths down which the story travels. As ever with Sigler, the journey is always richly regarded!
"followed you since first rogan appearance"
insane, fast paced, and truly awesome, although.... NEVER get attached to any character hahaha, 5*****
Loved the last instalment. Writing excellent as always. Strange not to hear Scott Siglers voice reading, but the narrator did a wonderful job.
Highly recommend the book, but read the other two first to get the best out of it. You will soon turn into a junkie
"Well Done Sigler"
This was such a great end to a great trilogy. I'd love to see these books made into a kiss ass film.
"Sig as F**k"
Great conclusion to a great trilogy, loved it loved it loved it loved it loads
"Triangles are back!!!"
Firstly, I listened to the other books in the series on podcast where Scott Sigler does the narration. Sometimes he sounded a little crazy with the different voices but I grew to love it as he gave his characters the personality he wanted with their tone and pitch so when I listened to this, although it was still read well I felt a little detached from the characters because they weren't quite as I remembered them. That being said it was still nice to find out what happened to the world in the end and the characters we had come to love or hate from the previous books. It felt unnecessarily long to me but I'm still a fan. In conclusion it is well read but too long in my opinion.

Go see this film in front of Monsters University! Here are a few pieces of concept work for Pixar's new short film, "The Blue Umbrella." This project is very special to me because it was the first Pixar film I created a color script for. I learned so much throughout the process and I feel very happy that the geniuses in the Technical and Lighting Departments carried through brilliantly, and did a fantastic job in plussing my color and lighting suggestions. You'll also find a couple of set paintings of the city block and a handful of costume sketches for our Blue and Red Umbrella owners. Artwork copyright by Disney/Pixar.

These handy glue pots speed up the process of hot-glueing your wick tabs to the bottom of your containers.
Directions: Plug the glue pot into an outlet. Fill the pot with hot glue pellets and allow to melt. Once melted, apply the hot glue to the base of the wick tab, being careful not to get too much. A dab usually is sufficient. Place the tabbed wick into your container.
Dries quickly.
Here's a quick demonstration to show how easy it is to use.
Done! Wick is quickly secured to the jar!

wait, so you guys actually take off rims off a car because of weather (winter) an change them with other normal wheels? good thing i havent sold my m sport wheels yet, but that cars going to look so crap without my lm's :/
LMs in winter is a big no no! Unless you want to clean then daily!
so what do i do? take them off? an replace them with the original wheels? an for how long like what month to what month?
Guys and also as i just purchased the poor boy wheel cleaner, if i just keep the wheels cleen an possible apply the poorboy cleaner once a week, wont that be enough? then would i need to take off the wheels?

Why would you spend a load of money on nice wheels then put your original crap ones back on to stop them getting 'cold' in the winter....
Can't see the point. Just clean and protect them, your car will look good all year round instead of just summer. Some people are just stupid!!!!GRRR
Why not go a stage further and just leave your car in your garage all year round, it will look lovely all the time then...

Well troops, surprise inspection! Let's see how secure your defenses are against mail-born threats. Think you're up to the test? Then read on.
The problem with all the security holes that arise from day to day, is that it's hard to keep up. "Am I protected?" you wonder, "I update constantly, I scrutinize all my email messages, especially attachments, and read all of Chad's awesome security articles, but how do I know for sure?"
Well, since such a large number of security holes center around email, I'm glad to announce today a service that can check your system for potential exploits. The service is a web based email scanner that you can tailor to send out over 20 different emails, each attempting to defile your system with dummy exploits. It's like hiring a security agent to go over your system and tell you what aspects of your security is in good shape, and what areas could use some improvement. When set in motion, the scanner fires off the dummy viruses and exploits to the specified email address. Don't be surprised if your virus software starts popping up with security messages, as a matter of fact, this is exactly what you want to happen, it means your system is seeing the threats coming in.
The emails themselves have message bodies describing what their particular test was for and how to make sure you're protected from this sort of attack. Some of the emails have attachments and some attempt to create text documents on your desktop, the emails tell you exactly what to do to ensure the tests ran correctly, thus providing an accurate assessment of your system's defenses.
In addition to the testing your system for security holes, this is also a good way to educate yourself on some email-born security issues by getting a chance to see them in action without putting yourself in any danger.
Click here if you would like to have your email security tested…
P.S. According to their Privacy Statement, they keep your information confidential and will not sell, trade or exchange your name and email address.
Stay safe out there,
~ Chad

just great and the sides are high enuf to keep liter in and just high enuf for kittens to jump in
|by Gabrielle Sin
|Date Added: Monday 12 August, 2013
I bought these to have extras for when I foster cats. I already have two cats, and they alone can fill a couple of litter boxes in a very short time. These litter boxes are massive. Well worth the money. They are, however, not pretty litterboxes. The ones I got had plastic pieces hanging off the rim, slight visible defects in the plastic, and were a gross tan color. However, they are very large and very sturdy. Even the largest cat would be comfortable fitting into this litter box. Sides are somewhat high, so if you have a CH cat (I do), you'll need to cut a bit of one of the sides off, so they can get in easier.

I wanted a large box for a very large cat. This box met my requirements. It's sturdy and deep as well as being wide enough for my baby's needs.

|Date Added: Saturday 10 August, 2013
I have a Ragdoll, Maine Coon, and a tabby kitten. All the cats can easily use this and the sides are high enough to prevent them from kicking out the litter, low enough for the kitten to get into. For the price, I would buy three.

We have multiple rabbits that use as a liter box. Plenty of space for both rabbits to use at same time.

These pans are a very good size. I bought two of them and they sent both the same color beige.

My pal Peanut tagged me. I'm a few days late (what can I do -- lazy mom!), but here goes.
1. Meow! Are you a noisy kitty or a quiet kitty?
Well, I'm kind of on the quiet side. I mostly let my big blues do the talking, but occasionally I let loose with a meow or two. Or maybe three.
2. Litterbox! Cover your business or let some other kitty cover?
Nope, I don't cover.
3. Happy! Favorite Daily Routine?
I've established a detailed daily schedule around here and it must be adhered to. It begins in the morning and continues throughout the day.
4. Hiss! Least Favorite Routine?
Anything to do with the v-e-t.
5. Ding-Dong! What do you think about visitors to your house?
If I know them, that's okay. However, my mom has a friend who regularly brings her small humans with her and I have to admit I'm not crazy about them.
6. Friends! Do you like other animals?
No not really. I'm a loner.
Thanks, Peanut, for asking me! I tag any and every cat who reads this diary!
My mom and I are beyond shocked and saddened today. Hazel Lucy went to the Bridge.
Hazel Lucy will be well and happy and free from her body at the Bridge. And, of course, she will be with her beloved Buddie.
It's Hazel's mom who needs our virtual hugs today. Nobody could have been a better mom to Hazel Lucy and she will feel her loss deeply. The out pouring of love from her Internet community has been overwhelming. When the first rush of pain goes away, I hope she will take comfort in this.
My mom send our love to Hazel Lucy and to Julie, her mom. The mark you made on all our hearts is forever.
We will never forget you, Hazel Lucy.
My pal Spit Fire tagged me and here's the topic: 5 Reasons My Humans Annoy Me.
This is going to be fun!
1. I ask so little, I really do. Is it too much to expect that my night time water cup be in place no later than 6:15 p.m. daily?
2. I ask so little, I really do. When I want my breakfast should I really be required to engage in an increasingly loud, passive-aggressive display every morning in order to get her out of bed?
3. I ask so little, I really do. When I want attention and I indicate such by doing something heartbreakingly adorable such as batting my ball around adorably, sometimes when she's "working" or something like that, she fails to get up and admire me immediately.
4.I ask so little, I really do. When my Mom does laundry, she lets me lie in a big pile of warm towels and it's one of my favorite times of the week. That's right, I said week. Since I love it so much and my mother knows I love it so much, why does she only do this once a week? Is daily too much to ask?
5. I ask so little, I really do. Do I really have to say it: No more outfits! I have to give my Mom credit because she does it a a whole lot less than she used to. But, gee, Mom, just because you can put clothes on a guy, it doesn't mean you should. Please, Mom. I have my feline dignity, thank you very much.
I tag:
Nikko: My Ragdoll pal and brother from another mother

Portland's EcoDistricts
Next American City talks with Portland Mayor Sam Adams about the project and what he hopes it will achieve.
"Next American City: Are the five chosen districts meant to be mixed use? How are you shaping what goes in the districts (retail, residential, etc.)?
Mayor Sam Adams: Portland's standard approach to district-making is to have mixed-income opportunities. Our best work is in housing, and we are now applying the same expectations to affordable, small independent commercial. We are moving forward on triple-bottom-line sustainability, not just for a shallow environmental footprint, but to provide people with economic security and prosperity and make sure that opportunities are equal for all to achieve more social justice and equity. Portland suffers from the same trends, to a lesser extent, as the nation at large in terms of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. Meanwhile, the middle class is challenged like never before. Another focus of social equity is that in Portland, communities of color are in a worse position in terms of economic security when compared with similar communities in Seattle and San Francisco. So we have a lot of work to do. We get high praise for environmental sustainability, but we shouldn't sit on our laurels. We should always do more."

2014: Digital Reality Sets In
Posted by Nigel Fenwick on January 17, 2014
In my post at this time last year I wrote of the changes we could expect in 2013 around the shift toward digital business. And indeed we did see a significant move toward digital business in 2013 - a transition that's still very much just beginning.
But 2014 will be different. 2014 is when digital reality begins to sink in for CEOs around the world. And if your CEO doesn't figure out digital business this year, I predict 2015 will be a very challenging year for your organization, no matter what business you are in.
The Retail Conundrum
A recent Wall Street Journal article highlights the challenge of retailers very well. Store footfall is declining as consumers' lives become more digital. We are seeing a steady shift toward shopping online and shopping less often. So how can today's retailers survive? The simple answer is that many will not. Retail will undergo a seismic shift in the next 10 years. And since retail is a major employer, it's a shift that will impact us all.
Time drives behavior. Digital tools extend the workplace into our private lives, allowing greater productivity while also creating fewer opportunities for large chunks of time to "go shopping." We are increasingly using digital technologies to optimize how we fill our days for work and pleasure:
• Digital scheduling tools like Google Calendar help us plan our work and play time.
• Reminder apps help structure what we need to do with fewer opportunities for impulsive behaviors.
• DVRs, Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon help time-shift entertainment to burst-fill small downtime slots or fill even bigger chunks of time as we binge-consume a season of a show all at one time.
As a result we have fewer blocks of "quality time" - the time we gift to ourselves to do the things we like to do as a reward for doing all the other things we have to do. We aim to spend our quality time wisely doing the things that give us pleasure.
For retailers there is indeed one very important demographic that I don't count myself in: the people who get pleasure from shopping (unless I'm shopping for gadgets, hi-fi, or tools it seems). Retailers must still compete with other draws on the time of this important demographic - and compete even harder for people outside of this demographic. Retailers must compete for a share of quality time, not just a share of wallet.
The shift for retail is a transition from selling boxes to fulfilling desires. And to fulfill desires, retailers will need to become an extension of how we choose to live. In the future I believe we'll subconsciously select the businesses we feel we want to partner with to help us achieve our desires. We already see the signs of this shift in the transition toward customer experience as a major driver of success.
Better online marketing is not a silver bullet. When Best Buy's CFO, Sharon McCollam, told the WSJ "we were out-competed from an online marketing standpoint" she highlights what I see as a critical gap in understanding among senior executives about the transformation to digital business. Too many CEOs and their executives view today's digital business challenge as a marketing problem or even a technology problem. While digital marketing is a critical business capability, such a view greatly underestimates the opportunities and challenges of fundamental digital transformation.
The real challenge for every company, especially retailers, is to make the transition from a company that is in business to sell products or services to becoming a digital software company that adds value to their customers by fulfilling specific desires. Emerging leaders in digital business, companies like GE, are radically rethinking their business value models to create added customer value from bits and bytes. But it's not easy, and nobody has yet fully transformed their business. And because this is an incredibly difficult transformation to undergo, some companies will flounder along the way: The results at JC Penney over the past couple of years highlight the risks of getting it wrong.
The transformation to digital business requires such a significant mindset shift that I believe the overwhelming majority of today's CEOs will find it difficult to make the transition. That's why I predict 2014 will be the year of digital reality - where many CEOs are forced to reconcile their long-held beliefs about their business with the new realities of a digital world.
If you're interested in this transformation challenge, I'm working on research to help firms make the transformation to digital business, and our upcoming Technology Management Forum is designed to help technology management teams "unleash your digital business."
I'd love to hear from you in the comments section below or on Twitter Do you believe the digital economy will force transformation on every business?

Great article. Thank you. I'd
Comment from Ray Wright on Wed, 01/22/2014 - 14:14
Great article. Thank you. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the impact of digital on B2B businesses and the timeframe.
The digital economy is certainly going to impact many businesses. Very small service businesses that rely on word-of-mouth promotion/lead gen will likely take the longest to be impacted and to change. They rely a lot on foot traffic and may not see the need to "digitize" just yet. However, the competition from younger businesses (with digital age employees/owners) will eventually have an impact.
For larger businesses the challenge is about risk and complexity. When your business model is complex (e.g. healthcare) it will take some time to figure out the best digital strategy. Getting it wrong could be disastrous.
It's hard to say if all businesses will notice the impact of the digital economy in 2014 or 2015. We have prospects in the mid market that have created a protected market for themselves and can still rely on their traditional approaches right now. However, they are already seeing margins being squeezed as buyers first trawl the web for options and then send out RFPs without speaking to a sales person. Getting them to see (and react to) the headlights coming down the track is sometimes quite a challenge!

Bruno Mars Rocks "Today"
He's been a busy boy promoting his brand new album Unorthodox Jukebox, and this morning (December 11) Bruno Mars paid a visit to the "Today" show.
The "Just the Way You Are" singer looked dapper as he arrived at Rockefeller Center in New York City for the NBC Toyota Concert Series, sporting a black tuxedo with a ruffled white shirt and black bowtie.
And if he seems like a natural performer, it's because Bruno comes from a long line of showmen in his family.
Mars explained, "My dad had this 1950s review show, very Las Vegas-style, and my uncle impersonated Elvis, and that was my favorite part of the show. And as a young kid, you're like, 'I want that.'"

The mountain of analysis concerning the Super Bowl and its ads continues to pour in. With a record average of 112.2 million viewers for the game, per Nielsen's adjusted tally, brands had an opportunity to reach the largest TV audience ever recorded. So which brands did best? Which ads were tweeted about and shared the most? This article rounds up and sifts through the research surrounding the performance of the Super Bowl commercials.
First off, a look at the 10 most effective commercials of the Super Bowl, according to an analysis from Ace Metrix. To arrive at its rankings, Ace Metrix surveyed consumers who watched and scored each ad across a variety of standardized metrics. According to this analysis, Microsoft surprisingly scored the most effective commercial of the game, with its "Empowering" ad fetching an Ace Score of 710, way above last year's high score of 665 (from Budweiser), and ranking as the second highest score in Ace Metrix history. Following Microsoft were Budweiser's "Puppy Love" and Hyundai's "Dad's Sixth Sense," each with a score of 681. Rounding out the top 5 most effective ads were RadioShack's "Goodbye '80s" (677) and Budweiser's "Hero's Welcome" (675).
On the other end of the spectrum, the least effective ad of the Super Bowl was GoDaddy's "Bodybuilder" (432). GoDaddy also aired the fourth-least effective ad, "I Quit" (492), continuing its run of misery (at least according to Ace Metrix) from last year, when it also had 2 of the 5 least effective ads. Bud Light's "Epic Night" (472) and GoldieBlox's "Bring The Toys" (473) occupied this year's 3rd- and 4th-least effective positions.
The Ace Metrix scores reflect the persuasive nature of the commercial (through desire, relevance, information, attention, change, and likability) and its watchability. Combined, the overall effectiveness score is designed to understand how a commercial performed from the twin angles of voluntary consumer consumption and the business goal of the advertiser.
While Ace Metrix had Microsoft on top, the USA Today's Ad Meter, which gathered an online audience of 6,272 preregistered panelists from around the country, crowned "Puppy Love" the winner, making this the 12th of the past 14 years that Anheuser-Busch has aired the winning ad. The commercial was tops among both men and women, but came in second among 18-34-year-olds, ceding the top spot to Hyundai's "Sixth Sense." Meanwhile, among adults making $100-150k, Doritos' "Cowboy Kid" was the top vote-getter.
Nielsen took a different perspective, rating the top ads by memorability and likability – with Microsoft nowhere to be found on either list.
Using the memorability measure, Budweiser's 60-second "Hero's Welcome" won out, with a general brand memorability index of 195, meaning that it was 1.95 times as memorable as the average Super Bowl ad this year. That ad had some distance from its closest competitor, Doritos' "Cowboy Kid" (177), with Budweiser taking the third position with its "Puppy Love" spot (169). Doritos was the only other brand to place 2 ads in the top 10 by memorability, with its "Time Machine" (141) commercial in the #10 position. Of note, while Ace Metrix may have scored Go Daddy's "Bodybuilders" as its least effective ad, Nielsen had it in the 8th spot by memorability.
In terms of likability, Radio Shack's "The Phone Call" picked up the top spot by a significant margin, with an index score of 140, meaning that it was 1.4 times as likable as the average ad. Trailing Radio Shack were Budweiser's "Puppy Love" (129) and Doritos' "Time Machine" (126).
A total of 5 commercials made it onto both of Nielsen's lists: Budweiser's "Hero's Welcome" and "Puppy Love;" Radio Shack's "The Phone Call;" Cheerios' "Gracie;" and Doritors' "Time Machine." Interestingly, Part 1 of Wonderful Pistachio's 2-part ad featuring Stephen Colbert made it onto the top 10 by likability, while Part 2 was in the top 10 for memorability.
Another ad scorer, Touchstorm, looked at how video content fared on advertisers' YouTube channels, coming up with a composite ranking of how well the ads sustained audiences based on views, likability, velocity/acceleration, and subscriber conversion. The winner? A familiar name by now, Budweiser's "Puppy Love." Based on data through February 3rd, that spot was the most effective YouTube video campaign, ahead of Coca-Cola's #AmericaIsBeautiful and RadioShack's #InWithTheNew. Of note: Microsoft's #empowering was the best-liked video campaign through that date.
How did ad executives perceive the ads? The Wall Street Journal surveyed went beyond consumers and surveyed ad execs too, revealing that among these respondents, Radio Shack, Chrysler, and Anheuser-Busch were the big winners.
Did these ads actually drive purchase intent? BrandAds ran the numbers via two surveys conducted across internet-connected devices – one completed by a control group prior to the game and another by a separate group exposed to the ads after the game.
This analysis found that Hyundia was the top-performing brand when measured by percentage increase in likelihood to purchase. Hyundia enjoyed a 39.5% lift in purchase likelihood, followed closely by Budweiser (37.8%) and Jeep (36.1%) and more distantly by Sony Crackle (25.6%) and Sonos (25%). The average increase across all the advertising brands was a more modest 6.6%. Some brands (16% of them) actually saw a decrease in purchase likelihood, according to the study, with Jaguar seeing the biggest drop (of 31.7%). Other insights from the study: lift in purchase likelihood was higher among men, under-18s, and those making less than $100k.
That study measured purchase likelihood among respondents who had seen the ads – but did viewers actually watch them? Apparently they did: Rentrak reports that while the game was a blowout, audience levels were stable throughout the game, with ad exposure nearly equal to viewership of the game itself. The most-watched ads of the game, per Rentrak, were from NFL.com, Kia, Audi, Coca-Cola and Nestle, each with an index of 104 compared to the average ratings of the game.
The following is a distilled list of the various research surrounding the social aspect of the game and its ads:
This portion of the article deals with research surrounding mobile and search, as well as other miscellaneous pieces.
Was it all worth it? Well, brands could have run an "anti-Super Bowl ad campaign."
[Editor's note: This portion of the article was originally published on January 28th.]
The average cost of a 30-second Super Bowl spot has exceeded $3 million in the past couple of years, and is expected to hit $4 million this year. With Super Bowl XLVIII looming, new research concerning ads for the big game has been pouring in: a recent survey suggests that the ads are as big a draw as the game itself, while other pieces of research have emerged looking at advertising effectiveness, online sharing, and brand rankings.
The Super Bowl audience has numbered more than 50 million TV homes over each of the past 4 big games, according to Nielsen data, and the NRF projects that 181 million Americans will watch the game this year. What should be enticing to advertisers is Kantar Media's finding [pdf] that tune-out during the average commercial during last year's game was just 0.7%, a tiny figure also several times smaller than the average 3-4% for regular programming. In fact, Kantar says that last year, the average Super Bowl commercial had an audience size that was 1.6% bigger than the average audience for the game.
That tallies with survey results from VB&P, which found that 78% of respondents would prefer to watch the Super Bowl with rather than without commercials. In fairness, the NRF study found that among viewers, 47.5% consider the game itself to be the most important part, versus 24.9% finding the commercials most important.
Also encouraging for advertisers, though: as Super Bowl audiences grow, so has the percentage of affluent viewers. Nielsen reports that from 2003 through 2013, viewership grew from 43.4 million to 53 million TV homes, while the percentage of households viewing the game making more than $100,000 per year concurrently grew from 14% to 26.8%. In other words, more than 1 in 4 households that watched the Super Bowl last year had incomes of more than $100,000. (Most of the increase in share of high-income households occurred earlier in the 10-year period, as the above chart demonstrates.)
Interestingly, while Bloomberg Businessweek reports that Super Bowl ad sales have outgrown viewership in the past few decades, the advertising cost of $35 per thousand viewers last year was actually in line with other prime-time TV programs, a reflection of the massive reach of the game.
But is the advertising worth the cost? A study from Communicus suggests that only 1 in 5 Super Bowl ads sell products, with the ads more likely to generate awareness than to persuade viewers to actually buy products. For its part, VB&P's survey indicates that one-quarter of respondents would be more interested in buying a product after seeing it advertised during the Super Bowl, while 15% of respondents claimed they would buy something while watching the game. (That figure was almost twice as high among youth, and also far higher among men.) And according to the NRF survey, almost 8 in 10 respondents view the commercials as entertainment, with far fewer indicating that they make them aware of advertiser brands (16.9%), influence them to buy products from the advertisers (8.6%) or influence them to search online for more information (8%).
Small businesses are skeptical about Super Bowl advertising's effectiveness, per survey results from Sage North America. Only 37% of small businesses surveyed said that a national commercial aired during the Super Bowl would help their business, compared to 60% who believed it wouldn't. That's a fairly incredible result if these businesses aren't factoring in the costs of the ad in their perception.
In fact, few marketers with limited resources invest in Super Bowl ads, per Kantar's data. Last year, 4 advertisers – representing 12% of all Super Bowl advertisers – invested more than 10% of their annual media budgets into the game. By comparison, in 2011, 24% of advertisers poured in that amount of their media budgets, and in 2010, one-third of advertisers (13 in total) invested that much.
So which advertisers are on track to win this year, and which brands have seen some measure of success in the past?
The research from Communicus indicates that Budweiser's "Brotherhood" spot aired last year was the most effective at winning the consumer over at the cash register. Of note, Ace Metrix last year pegged the spot as its most effective.
This year, Brand Keys' latest Super Bowl Engagement Survey [pdf], which measures how advertisers' brand engagement ratings will be affected by their Super Bowl spots, has determined that Doritos, Coca Cola, Hyundai, and M&M's will be the biggest "winners" in engagement. At the other end of the spectrum, Intuit, TurboTax, Squarespace and Volkswagen will likely lose the most engagement points.
Volkswagen may not score engagement points, but it can at least boast to having its Super Bowl ads shared online more than any other brand. With the VB&P survey indicating that 7 in 10 Americans will pay attention to ads before the game, 52% will re-watch ads online after the game, and that 36% will share their favorite ad, there's a significant opportunity for additional exposure before and after the big game. Unruly has taken a look at the statistics regarding Super Bowl ad shares (sources here, here, here and here), and has come to the following conclusions:
A round-up of some other interesting statistics concerning Super Bowl ads follows.
Fun fact to end with? According to the Census Bureau, as of July 1 2012 the populations of Seattle and Denver were almost exactly the same, with the former having just 270 more residents (0.04% more) than the latter.

Redd, however, is not your ordinary 19-year-old sophomore. The Norwalk, Conn., native, who is fighting to become PSU's starter this spring, has an appreciation for the game that stretches back before he was born.
One of the greatest running backs ever, Gale Sayers, said, 'You can't teach vision,' Redd said Tuesday morning. I think that's true.
Great vision, you see, happens to be one of Redd's strengths. So too are speed, quickness and the ability to change direction in ways that seem to defy physics.
Redd knows the things he can do are not new to the gridiron -- not by a long shot.
I don't think you can progress in this game unless you know about the past, he said.
Along those lines, during his formative years, he would watch old NFL Films videos on game days. His favorite? Pure Payton, which highlighted the career of Chicago Bears' Hall of Famer Walter Payton. He also loved NFL's Greatest Ever -- Running Backs.
Even today, he rattles off the names of the backs on the tape, noting his favorites were, Barry, Bo Jackson, Eric Dickerson. And one can only wonder how many of today's athletes refer to Barry Sanders, the Hall of Famer who last played in 1998, by his first name only.
Yet it sounded natural coming from Redd, who is obviously dialed into the career of Sanders, a back to whom he is often compared.
Redd said he, just tried to take a little something from each of those backs. I think that helped me through the years, because those are all excellent backs.
As much as he has learned from the past, this spring Redd is focused on the here and now. Evan Royster, Penn State's all-time leading rusher, has wrapped up his career and Redd is in the mix of players trying to replace the three-year starter.
Though the youngest of a trio that also includes senior Stephfon Green and redshirt sophomore Brandon Beachum, Redd is coming off a true freshman season in which he finished second on the team in rushing (437 yards) and averaged a healthy 5.7 yards per carry.
Green, meanwhile, suffered through another injury-plagued season and only carried 48 times for 188 yards. Beachum took a redshirt while rehabbing from an ACL injury.
All three players have very strong personalities. All three view themselves as leaders. And yet Redd insists there has been no bad blood as they battle to gobble up the snaps available now that Royster is gone.
There is never going to be any animosity between us, Redd said. We made that clear going into spring ball. First and foremost, we as teammates, we're going to be happy for whoever gets the starting spot. The roles will fill in from there.
Maybe you'll be upset if you don't get the spot, he added. But at the end of the day, you're in it for the same goal, which is the national championship. We trust the coaches to put the right guys in the right spots.
Besides, as Redd sees it, there may not be a clear-cut starter. It may make more sense for the Lions to go with a tailback-by-committee approach, given the different skill sets of the three players in question as well as burly redshirt sophomore Curtis Dukes.
We have enough talent that any one of us can start, Redd said. I think that is actually a good way to run the ball, to divvy up the carries. We have myself and Stephfon, who are speed guys, and you have Beachum and Dukes, who are big power guys. There obviously are ways you can incorporate everyone into the offense.
All of that said, Redd is still going after the starting job with vigor. I obviously have high expectations for myself, he said.
His primary areas of focus this spring have been ball protection and improving his blocking. He'd also like to become more involved in the pass game after catching only four balls last year. Finally, he's bulked up to more than 205 pounds after starting his rookie season at about 195.
I feel I'm a sturdier back, which is good, he said.
Even before he eclipsed the school's longstanding rushing record last season, Royster told reporters the new mark probably would not last long. He anticipated Redd breaking it. Redd said he was shocked and flattered when he heard Royster say that.
Whether Redd actually enjoys that level of success remains to be seen, of course. But as spring ball winds down and the kickoff of the 2011 campaign draws closer, Redd is now worried less about learning from the past and more about the chance to make a little history himself.
I'm very excited for what possibly could be in store for me next season, he said.

Hodson, HP (1985) INVISCID BLADE-TO-BLADE PREDICTION OF A WAKE-GENERATED UNSTEADY FLOW. Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power, 107. pp. 337-344. ISSN 0742-4795Full text not available from this repository.
A description is presented of a time-marking calculation of the unsteady flow generated by the interaction of upstream wakes with a moving blade row. The inviscid equations of motion are solved using a finite volume technique. Wake dissipation is modeled using an artificial viscosity. Predictions are presented for the rotor mid-span section of an axial turbine. Reasonable agreement is found between the predicted and measured unsteady blade surface static pressures and velocities. These and other results confirm that simple theories can be used to explain the phenomena of rotor-stator wake interactions.

A Cool Roof is more than just a roof painted white. To be a Cool Roof, a roof must be treated with a specialized coating material that is lightly colored and has two unique properties: high solar reflectivity and high infrared emissivity.
Solar reflectivity expresses the degree to which a roof reflects the visible, infrared and ultraviolet rays that comprise solar energy. Surfaces with high solar reflectivity reflect more infrared and ultraviolet rays.
Infrared emissivity refers to the roof's ability to give off its absorbed heat. Highly emissive surfaces are cooler than non-emissive surfaces since they have the ability to shed more absorbed heat at a faster rate.
A Cool Roof reduces the amount of energy absorbed by the roof which helps lower a building's temperature and cuts energy costs.

buying M3, have questions
Hi all, well i think i am going to buy a new 2005 BMW M3 either Carbon Black or the Metallic Silver, still unsure. i am in the military stationed overseas and won't have access to test drive one for a while, and have no salesperson to ask questions so i decided to ask you guys. here is what i am planning to get.
2005 bmw m3 silver or black (leaning towards silver so it's easier to keep clean)
performance package
trying to decide on the competition package - i am considering buying aftermarket wheels so this might not be worth it.
xenon headlights
no nav
1.besides wheels i think i may upgrade the audio system and am wondering what it is like without the nav. i am assumming you only get that screen i see in the pics when you order nav, is this correct? also, is the system without nav 1 din or 2?
2. if i upgrade the deck, will the steering wheel controls still work with an aftermarket deck?
3. i am trying to decide if i want the factory spoiler...i may eventually put an aftermarket spoiler and am wondering if most aftermarket spoilers use existing holes from the oem spoiler? is it better to go with the spoiler deletion option so you dont have to worry about holes?
4. is the competition package worth it, i know you lose the steering wheel cruise control, so does that mean you lose cruise control all together? did the put the control somwhere else? this doesn't matter so much, just wondering.
well i guess that's about it for now, that's all the ?'s i can think of, thanks in advance to all who respond.
Spoiler isn't mounted with any holes.
1 and 2, no idea.
3, what Alex said. OE spoiler uses double-sided tape.
4, depends on why you want it. Some people think $4k for blue paint is expensive, some don't.
:rofl: :rofl: Jesus Bren, you can stop your relentless campaign against the Comp pkg any day now. :dunno:
To me the style of the wheels are worth it alone. The IB paint is an extra bonus. :thumbup:
Ah...real CSL wheels on the rear (same part #). 1/2" less wide but similar quality to CSL wheels on the front. THEN you would have to pop for 19" tires also.... so 2K for the wheels, + at least $500.00 difference between selling the originals and buying 19" tires.
EVERYONE likes the idea of having the Euro rotors on there car. Why not get the REAL CSL brakes for the car, and the REAL CSL steering rack also...
All in all it's quite a good deal, IF you like/want the wheels. :beerchug:
Even if I did get 1K for the wheels, It's still an $1800 option. Losing $800 right there. :p
I was just commenting on the fact that I have seen Bren on MANY occasions bashing the Comp pkg. If people want to get it let them. You don't have to keep bagging on it relentlessly. Sounds like a ZHP relived story. :eek:
Looks like this became a M3zhp thread. :p
To me, if the pkg. isn't compelling enough on it's own that you have to ask for input about the value says that it isn't worth it.
Also the IB costs an additional 475 bucks, so its not as if they just throw in metallic paint with comp package. Still the wheels are sweet and the brakes look cool atleast.
1. Yeap, Nav only. NO idea what spec the head unit is, if any.
2. Nope unless the hed unit talks the appropriate BMW bus. The steering wheel controls put a code on the bus that must be read and acted upon.
3. Factory spoiler is double sided tape. SO get it, adn if you don't like it, you can take it off. If you don't get it, you will have to pay to get one and then pay to have it painted to match the car.
4. Yeap, no cruise control. Choice is yours alone. But personally it makes no sense to put the premium package on the car (moon roof) and Competition package.
The way I see it, ZCP takes too much of the good away vs. the bad(heavy gadgets)..\
no steering wheel controls(BT, volume, Cruise)
NAV is a beautiful thing..
Cruise is a beautiful thing
IMO even uglier trim
smaller wheels
If you were to order a standard M
You can get everything except for the brakes, alcantra, and trim(at least from what I know of)
From the sounds of it all later 05's will have the same rack as ZCP
factory double spokes sell like hotcakes..I see countless e36 with them(EBAY)
To me, it's not worth it...I like to have all the goods..and from the looks of it and the way I foresee BMW going, especially with styling...E46 might be a highly sought after car in the future..meaning resell might be worthwhile...It might be a good idea to get it loaded..But then again ZCP might be a good selling point as well..as far as resell value goes...
it's your preference
I agree with the steering wheel controls. I have a left over M wheel from my old 330 that I am researching to see if I can retrofit to my Comp Pkg. I really hope this can be done as I will miss the wheel controls. :(
You can still order Nav, I did.
I also agree with the interior trim. I would rather have the real aluminum. I might try and trade later if it really bothers me.
The wheels are not smaller. They are 19's as well.
The steering rack is different while the suspension upgrades are an across the board 05 M thing.
Still worth it for me. Not to mention the IB color. :p
Nah, that's old history. :beerchug:
The other side of the coin is, they do perform somewhat better than the solids, thus why essentially all high performance rotors are drilled.
Hey Nick, that kick down switch is @#%#% annoying. Where do you suppost full throttle is, at then end of the push up to the kick down (thus the kick-down switch just signals auto mode it's OK to drop down a gear), or must you press past the kick-down switch to get full throttle. If it's the latter, then the pedal MUST be changed. Have you looked into the swap any further?
would disagree:
:p Nothing do disagree with. "Essentially" leaves room for the few exceptions.
But above all...
:thumbup: :thumbup:

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 22.214.171.124
Forum Moderators: martinibuster
For example, if my made up business of sports stores have locations throughout the United States, and each location had its own page on the domain, is it useful to submit to every location category which we are offered? Will this help our search engine rankings when searching for terms such as "Chicago sports stores" or "Sports Stores in Denver"? Basically, do directory sites pass link juice to different sub domains, or just once to the homepage?

Are you trying to pick a theme for an upcoming party? Do you have some great rustic decorations you aren't sure how to use? Maybe even an old rancher costume from Halloween? A cowboy-themed party works for a lot of different events. If you're planning either of the following, consider some cowboy invitations to get your guests in a frontier mood.
Many boys and girls love the wild west, cowboys and horses. A cowboy-themed party can feature a variety of dress-up items for the guests, such as fuzzy mustaches, deputy stars and bandanas. Just be sure to take lots of pictures, a great photo collage is a lasting reminder of this fun-filled day.
An outdoor party is a great canvas on which to paint a picture of frontier life. With a few decorative props, you can turn your backyard into a scene from a Western. The popular game of horseshoes is very appropriate in this setting. Be sure to get some customized napkins in a western motif with the date, for memorabilia's sake.
When two groups clash on television for the enjoyment of others, a western theme creates an atmosphere of high stake show downs. This is especially appropriate if either team has a cowboy, horse or another symbol of the old west as their logo. You can either dress things up in praise of your frontier-inspired team, or make miniature effigies if it's your opponent who has the western mascot. Eve better if they both fit the theme, then you can have a real show down at your hoedown.
"The invitations we ordered are wonderful! The quality of the paper is superior - Iwebelieve it will be a keepsake for many of our guests. We were extremely pleased with the color and quality of the picture we uploaded - and each invitation showed this unique quality. The printing, font, and colors are so professionally done - one would never know it was designed and submitted online. Also, it is important to point out how user friendly the website is and also how good the communication is following an order. We received an email advising of our order's review and even that our one special request had been completed. We will definitely use Tiny Prints in the future."
"I was hesitant ordering an invitation online. I was very pleased to receive the order before it was due and was incredibly happy with the invitation. I will definitely be ordering from Tiny Prints in the future."
"I loved this invitation for my daughter's first birthday. It was feminine without being too girly. I loved how i could customize the layout to suit the event. I wish there were a few more font colors to choose from, but overall it was money well spent. Good quality card, crisp lines, the colors stood out. I would definitely shop at tinyprints again."
"We are using this for our daughter's 8th bday party which is being held at a horse farm. She chose the scalloped border which makes it extra cute. Adorable!"
"The color pink is lighter in person than what my computer screen shows but it is still a beautiful card. The paper is a nice weight and the font is crisp. I added a picture on the back and it came out beautifully. I would definitely recommend this card to anyone looking for a traditional invitation."

Forest, Jr. was first to get his Sky King Decoder ring. I collected my Corn Flakes box tops and mailed them up north. Every day I would wait for the rural mail carrier beside a dust covered mail box. Finally the package arrived. I tore into it as fast as I could to examine the genuine article. It was shiny, with a tiny, built in compass, but no instructions.
I pressed the " one size fits all" sides around my small finger and admired how good it looked. Then I walked to the store to find Forest, Jr.
The store was located directly across the road from the Lloyd Star school. Like many country stores of that era, this one was a structure built to display merchcandise inside with gas pumps out front. Forest, Jr. and his family lived in the back of the building.
Reaching the store I found my cousin and held up my hand to show off my new ring, but Forest, Jr. was not impressed.
"Let's go to the hideout," he ordered. And as quick as a cat, slipped a pack of cigarettes into his pocket. (It was not the first pack he had stolen.)
Our hideout was in the woods behind the store. We had placed a large metal Clabber Girl Baking Powder sign over a ravine. It was perfect. We could crawl under the sign for secret missions and sit on top of it for a lookout. Burlap bag walls hung loosely and danced in the wind to hide our trophies inside.
Some of our trophies were two molasses cans, one filled with long wooden kitchen matches, and another filled with Rabbit Tobacco. There was also a mason jar filled with possum grape wine that we had made.
Today I would graduate from smoking Rabbit Tobacco to the real thing. After summers of smoking Rabbit Tobacco and grapevines, with parched lips and sore tongues, we couldn't wait to get started on some Camels.
Forest, Jr. had watched carefully as adults performed the smoking ritual. He pulled the pack from his overall pocket and tapped the cigarettes rapidly on his knee, then with great care, he removed the cellophane and tin foil from the pack and gently pulled out two white Camels.
"Get the matches," he commanded.
We struck the matches on our overall zippers and fired up. We didn't know it at the time, but a habit would be born that day that would follow my cousin for the rest of his life. Smoking didn't snare me, but the wine would.
One sin often begats another, and on this smoke filled afternoon, Forest, Jr. said his first cuss word.
"Damn," he exclaimed, "we got to come up with us a code."
"Hell, yes," I replied.
"Damn right, a code so we can decode it."
"Hell," I said, "I don't get it."
"Get what?"
"If we make up a code we won't need to decode it if we already know the answer."
Forest, Jr. shot me an unapproving look.
Then he turned his attention quickly to something else. He started examining his Sky King Decoder Ring. "This ring only has a damn compass on it. What good is that?"
"Hell, to find a direction, I guess."
"And what in the damn hell good is that if you're not lost?"
That made sense to me and I became silent.
Then a nicotine rush set in and suddenly my cousin sprang to his feet, pulled his Sky King Decoder Ring off his finger and screamed,"Damn Sky," and then he caught himself. Even the sudden rush of nicotine could not bring him to profane our hero. "Well then, damn Corn Flakes, and to hell with all the sons of bitches that make them. I'll never eat another bowl of Corn Flakes as long as I live." In one swift motion he threw his Sky King Decoder ring deep into the woods. I kept mine.
note: This thing is already turning on my finger.
