The astute reader will notice that I put the links up first this week. The reason being is that I don't expect anyone to read through what I have to say, except for my brother, Michael Thomas (YTMT.) Ohio State's Michael Thomas (NTMT) is an imposter, I tell you! I'm not even sure why I'm bothering to write this. But write I will because I had an idea two weeks ago, and I'm not letting it go to waste.
When I was a kid, I heard that Bo and Woody preferred to run the ball because when you pass the ball, three things can happen and two of them are bad. The Michigan offense of the past two years has redefined that calculus. I now believe that when you pass the ball, six things can happen and five of them are bad. Of course, you have the original two bad items, the incompletion and the interception. I've seen enough of Michigan's offense to realize that we have to add these additional bad outcomes: 1) throwing screen passes for negative yardage, 2) getting sacked, and 3) getting strip-sacked.
In case there was any doubt, Michigan drove the point home to start the game. On our first play, Drake Johnson ran for 7 yards. On the next play, Devin Gardner threw an interception. On the next drive, Michigan threw a screen pass for -5 yards, ran the ball for 15 yards, took a sack, ran for 4, and took another sack. Three good running plays and four bad passing plays. The second drive ended with yet another poor special teams play, as Jalin Marshall returned a punt 23 yards.
After the Rutgers game, someone asked the MGoBoard to sum up the season in a song. I went with Johnny Cash's version of Hurt (I focus on the pain, the only thing that's real.) While I still think that song is an apt metaphor for this season, there can be only one song that describes where we're at this weekend. I present to you, the Sunday's, "Here's Where The Story Ends," with commentary provided by yours truly. If you press play and read the following notes, you'll find they sync up like The Wizard of Oz and Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the MOON.
People I know, places I go
Make me feel tongue tied
I think I was aware somthing happened, but I'm not fully aware
I can see how, people look down
They're on the inside
Brady's ultimate insider, Dave Brandon resigned this season. Does he have any support left from insiders?
Here's where the story ends
The story ends with a 31-20 record at Michigan with declining win totals year after year
People I see, weary of me
Showing my good side
Yeah, you can say that again
I can see how, people look down
I'm on the outside
You will be soon (wow, this is starting to sound harsh. But don't blame me, I didn't write this song.)
Here's, where the story ends
Ooh here's, where the story ends
The story ends with your fifth year senior quarterback being outplayed by a freshman and a third string QB
It's that little souvenir, of a terrible year
The tent stake?
Which makes my eyes feel sore
Watching Michigan this season made my eyes feel sore
Oh I never should have said, the books that you read
Were all I loved you for
I'll admit, graduating 69 of 69 seniors is a good thing
It's that little souvenir, of a terrible year
The two bottles of coke?
Which makes me wonder why
And it's the memories of the shed,
In year 4, Michigan was on the wrong end of woodshed games including:
0-31 versus a mediocre Notre Dame team
10-26 versus Utah
14-30 versus Minnesota
11-35 versus Sparty
that make me turn red
No! Anything but red!
Surprise, surprise, surprise
Losses to Minnesota, Rutgers, and Maryland provided the biggest surprises of this season
Crazy I know, places I go
Make me feel so tired
Tired of the losing, tired of the miscues, tired of the turnovers, tired of losing the places you go, i.e., road games.
I can see how people look down
I'm on the outside
Here's, where the story ends
Ooh here's, where the story ends
With Michigan leading #6 Ohio State 14-7 late in the first half, Michigan punted with 15 seconds left on the play clock. Unsurprisingly, Ohio State drove down the field and scored a TD with 7 seconds left.
It's that little souvenir, of a terrible year
Which makes my eyes feel sore
The "KEEP BRADY HOKE" banner that flew over Spartan Stadium?
And who ever would've thought, the books that you brought
Were all I loved you for
Oh the devil in me said, go down to the shed
I know where I belong
But the only thing I ever really wanted to say
Was wrong, was wrong, was wrong
It's that little souvenir, of a colorful year
Which makes me smile inside
I know, it's the "Quit Drinking and Go To Bed" novelty t-shirt I bought from the MGoStore!
So I cynically, cynically say, the world is that way
Surprise, surprise, surprise, surprise, surprise
Here's, where the story ends
Ooh here's, where the story ends
With Michigan down by 14 points, Brady Hoke used his last timeout with 1:12 left to extend the game by one more play. Sorry Brady, you're now out of timeouts. The story ends. Your story. But there's always next year and another story to tell.
See you in '15.
Game Day Weather
Thank you for the warm thoughts last week! Hopefully you've had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday, and we all get to be thankful for another win today! At least the weather will be on the warmer side! Low pressure may still be off to the west in the Dakotas, but that doesn't mean the warm front isn't having an impact on us - temps have been slowly rising since yesterday and will generally continue to do so today as the front passes north. The warmer air is bringing more moisture with it, so expect some cloud cover and drizzly spots throughout the day as we reach the mid 40s. Overall, not too shabby of a day for November football!
If you're traveling to Columbus...
Starting the early morning hours with a few breaks in the clouds, but approaching mid-morning the clouds have really filled in and it's turned overcast. We'll keep most of those clouds around throughout the morning and walking into the stadium. Grab the exra layer to begin the day, with temps in the low 30s until closer to 10am, then we start edging our way closer to 40. Winds are out of the SSE at 10mph (leaves and small twigs blow around). Doesn't sound like much, but that little breeze is enough to put the wind chills to 30 - order that coffee hot (and maybe spiked)!
Our warm-up continues for the start of the game! 42 degrees for the start. The wind will be out of the south at 15mph (loose paper blows about, small branches sway), so it will still feel like 35 degrees. You might see a little brightness trying to make its way through the clouds, but don't expect much, and it won't last long if you do.
Pretty darn comfy for the end of November! Sitting at 45 degrees for the half with cloudy skies. We may have a little drizzle develop later in the second half, but it's only a small chance. Winds remain out of the south at a steady 15mph, but we'll see a few gusts up around 20mph here and there (white horses would form on the water, small trees sway). That means the annoying wind chill is still there too - but it will only drop that feels-like temp to 40.
Not too bad! (Hopefully that's what we're saying about the game too) 46 degrees outside leaving the stadium. We'll have overcast skies, and there is a slight chance for a little drizzle - that will stay with us throughout the rest of the day. If you're headed out on the town, temperatures stay fairly constant the rest of the afternoon and evening, slowly rising to the upper 40s by midnight. We do get rid of the few gusts we had in the afternoon, and for the remainder of the night keep south winds at 15mph. Sunday brings us another warm day with scattered rain showers, but we turn cold again Sunday night.
If you're staying in Ann Arbor...
A little cooler here despite seeing some sunshine early on in the day. Clouds move in across the area throughout the day, and we'll keep a chance for some drizzle or a passing light rain shower with us through the afternoon. By game time we're still in the upper 30s. Winds will be out of the south at around 15mph with gusts around 20mph (wind chill still feeling like 30). We make it to 40 in the early afternoon, but it takes until late-night for us to hit the mid 40s here.

Yet Another CC Roundup, Part the Third: Fringe Candidates!
Welcome to the third installment of "Yet Another CC Roundup!" (Part 1 and part 2.) In this edition, I examine several fringe candidates--a fuzzy category including low probability hires and those who should be low probability hires. As usual, there are 4 serious and 1 not-so-serious profiles included.
1. Bob Stitt
POTENTIAL UPSIDE: Everyone's favorite fringe candidate is a bona fide offensive innovator--arguably this decade's Rich Rodriguez (at WVU). So at the least we'd probably run some cool plays that aren't read pre-snap by literally everyone watching the game. In a best case scenario we could see an offense literally no one is prepared to defend (yet).
POTENTIAL DOWNSIDE: The Rich Rodriguez experience didn't travel well to Ann Arbor. And he, at least, came in with a record of success at a Big East school.
TRANSITION COSTS: High. We don't run anything remotely resembling that offense, recruiting would almost certainly nosedive and attrition would be significant.
OVERALL DESIRABILITY: As an HC? Let's be honest here—it's low. Running a "blue blood" program clearly takes a lot more than schematic innovation; some of those things are invariably annoying and frustrating to us as fans, but it would be naive to pretend they aren't real. At the least Stitt would need several years to acclimate, and we're just not that patient anymore.
CHANCES OF HIM COMING: Close to non-existent, unless we're talking about a potentially open offensive coordinator position. Would he take that? I don't know, but it's the only thing we'd plausibly offer.
2. Greg Schiano
POTENTIAL UPSIDE: A more irritating, less sympathetic version of Iowa under Kirk Ferentz.
POTENTIAL DOWNSIDE: A more irritating, less sympathetic version of Michigan since 2013.
TRANSITION COSTS: Low. That's something I guess.
OVERALL DESIRABILITY: Extremely low. Schiano only surpassed 10 wins once in eleven tries at Rutgers. Meanwhile, his two-year stint with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was an unmitigated disaster--marked by palace intrigue, backstabbing and frequent losses. As far as I'm concerned, Schiano may be the worst possible hire of all the discussed candidates.
CHANCES OF HIM COMING: If offered? A near certainty. But let's just hope that never comes to pass.
3. Paul Chryst
POTENTIAL UPSIDE: Wisconsin! I mean, who does more with less in the Big 10? Plus now that he's gotten some HC experience at Pitt, Chryst might be able to pull a Dantonio and implement something comprehensive, sustainable and well-suited to talent pool in the upper Midwest.
POTENTIAL DOWNSIDE: For the record, Pitt is not very good.
TRANSITION COSTS: Low. He runs an inside-zone based scheme on offense, would probably hire to fit personnel on defense.
OVERALL DESIRABILITY: Moderate. He's a good fit in most ways, but again—Pitt. Granted, Pitt is a terrible job—even Todd Graham did poorly there. But Chryst hasn't really shown any signs of genius once separated from Alvarez and Bielema either. Always possible he just called the plays at Wisconsin and so wouldn't deserve much credit for the recruitment-and-development program that has driven their recent successes. He may be a great coach in the long-term scheme of things, but purely as a candidate for HC at this exact moment in time, Chryst feels like a poor man's McElwain to me.
CHANCES OF HIM COMING: If offered? High. But the chances we offer it to him are low to moderate. Chryst is either a backup plan or a backup to the backup plan. Or not on any sort of plan.
4. Bret Bielema
POTENTIAL UPSIDE: Wisconsin with a richer talent base: tough defenses paired with high scoring, inside zone-based offenses, producing lots of wins in the crappy Big 10. Wears headset while pointing.
POTENTIAL DOWNSIDE: Similar caveats about the Wisconsin experience being portable. They've built that machine over decades. Plus if you look at his record, the first three years look eerily like Hoke's—do we have that kind of patience?
TRANSITION COSTS: As low as you can go. He runs an inside-zone based scheme on offense and knows how to get the most out of his defensive roster.
OVERALL DESIRABILITY: High for a fringe candidate. Regardless of how you feel about him personally, Bielema is a perfect fit for our personnel, and is another one of those "should be able to do what Hoke was supposed to do" type candidates (especially since, after declines in years 1-3 at Wisconsin, he then rattled off four straight quality seasons). In total, he coached 7 seasons at Wisconsin, and did this: 3/7 Big Ten Championships, 4/7 10+ wins and 6/7 ranked at the end of the year with a total winning pct of .739. His 1-5 record vs. OSU does give pause, but would we not kill for the rest right now? Plus he recruits and develops players very well, and now Arkansas has even won a couple big games in the SEC West--that makes him orders of magnitude more desirable than, say, Schiano. At the same time, it's hard to see us make a move for him if any of the marquee candidates are still in the mix.
CHANCES OF HIM COMING: Moderate. Tony Gerdeman argues that Bielema might plausibly look for a return to the Big 10, since paying him Hoke's salary would constitute a big raise and the SEC West is impossible. Gerdeman also contends that Bielema would relish the opportunity to "stick it to Barry Alvarez" (for reasons that are unclear to me, but maybe it's true). On the other hand, this is just idle speculation on Gerdeman's part and there's apparently the trifling matter of a $12.8 million buyout as well. So if we were interested, it would all come down to whether Arkansas wanted to fight to keep him (I think—help me out here if you know more about how these buyout things work).
5.Layne Kiffin
POTENTIAL UPSIDE: He can run an offense, that's for sure. Already has experience at two historical programs that feel the weight of history as well. Maybe third time's the charm?
POTENTIAL DOWNSIDE: Those experiences were primarily negative.
TRANSITION COSTS: Short-term costs would be pretty low. Long-term? Don't even ask.
OVERALL DESIRABILITY: Extremely low, due to T.O. effect, in which an undeniably talented and capable figure produces right off the bat but then begins to corrode the program from within. Added benefit of more time at Alabama potentially having that effect on Saban's program.
CHANCES OF HIM COMING: Low but not impossible. No one has ever mentioned Kiffin as a serious candidate at Michigan, but you just know he's angling for another HC job, and there are only two good ones on the market this year (so far). This guy must interview well, because he's got bad idea jeans written all over him. Thankfully Floridian weather is more visor-friendly.
Wallpaper Season - "The Game"
Im going to be gone for the Thanksgiving holiday and won't get more than this done. I like how it turned out, but I always love feedback/suggestions. My heart's just barely in it this season, so I apologize for the drop off in wallpapers (Basketball WILL have a few ready before B1G Season). Even so, I HAD to make one for "The Game." Because OH HOW I HATE OHIO STATE...

Giving MGoThanks
As we gear up to face Ohio State in a few short days and as many of us gear up to face our families tomorrow and over this long Thanksgiving weekend, I felt this might be a good time to give a little thanks for having this space called MGoBlog.
Particularly in a fall like this one, when the football season has been disappointing to say the least, it has been even more important for myself and hopefully others to have a place where we can express that frustration and talk about the direction we would like our football program to take moving forward after a season which, on paper, will likely not end in a bowl of any kind.
Personally, this site has provided catharsis as well as some therapy with a dash of perspective over the course of this fall, and I would like to thank everyone here for that. It has been a rough stretch, but we are probably the top end of engagement as Michigan fans go and we do seem to keep ourselves involved regardless, and we should be thankful that this community has that sort of glue, if you will. I am sure that, as football faces a future with some likely changes in its leadership, not to mention the changes which have already occurred in the athletic department, we all essentially want the same thing – the success of the department and football, but really all of our varsity sports as well. Leaders and best throughout.
I know that many of us have expressed a bit of hope as well, now that basketball is getting off the ground for what looks to be another competitive and exciting season, that we will be able to balance our feelings about football with the promise of basketball. Hopefully, we can indeed do that and through the trials and tribulations of that season, we'll be here just the same – rejoicing in one thread, commiserating in another, but a community through all of it. That's the idea anyway. Sometimes, the basketball threads get a little testy, particularly when there is a frustrating stretch of play or a close loss, but I think the value in having this space to express thoughts remains even in those cases.
We've seen many analyses, many threads about coaching candidates and the like in the last couple months, all of it an attempt to understand Michigan's position in the world, but all of it also being an expression of how much passion there is around Michigan athletics here. Good or bad, insightful or not so much, it comes back to the collective desire to see Michigan succeed. I am definitely thankful to be part of a group which cares as deeply as I do about this very thing. It is one of the things which makes MGoBlog something special and – as we have seen, powerful – in the Michigan blogosphere.
I would also like to thank the University itself for the education and opportunities it has afforded me in my life, but also the many people that I knew growing up – from my mother and so on down the line – who took the time to impress upon me the culture of Michigan and to show me just how special and institution it is. This blog also recognizes that, which is why it is so easy for me to hang around here even if, in the role of moderator, I sometimes seem as if I am about to tear my hair out or indeed someone else's hair. It is because I know that we want the same thing at the end of the day.
Many of us here will sit down with our families this weekend and give thanks for this, that and the other thing, hopefully this space is somewhere on that list of "other things". It will be for me as a place which has made a painful fall much less painful on many levels. Even if we don't like our chances on paper on Saturday, I am sure we'll cheer on our Wolverines all the same and, win or lose, we'll congregate her after the game to discuss and dissect, but also to be around – even if virtually – folks much like ourselves.
Have an excellent Thanksgiving holiday, MGoBlog.

The language of women on Twitter
I'm going to throw a name at you that you're probably going to think has no place in a piece about something even vaguely feminist, let alone a publication such as this one. It's probably going to bring a furrow to your brow. And after you see it, you're probably not going to want to read further, but please do.
Katy Perry.
Katy Perry tops the list of the 100 most followed people on Twitter with more than 55.5-million followers — men, women, young, old, teens, girls boys, you name it — more than 55-million of them. This is probably not fascinating information on its own.
But the point is that she is influential. And in this day and age, where social media platforms are a sort of parallel digital existence of our lives played out in real time, she is not influential just on Twitter. Those numbers translate. Katy Perry is influential in the world, directly, to more than 55.5-million people.
More interesting still, of the top 30 most followed people on Twitter, 17 are women.
In fact, there are five women in the top 10 alone, with influential men on Twitter only taking up three positions — the rest are held by handles belonging to companies such as Instagram or Youtube.
Twitter is revolutionising the status quo of the dominant sex in the world. History and social norms have not so much taught, but bestowed on, us the fact that anyone who is important or top 10 worthy in terms of influence is always going to be a man.
Not so anymore. Not here at least, on this digital extension of life — not on Twitter. Did you notice before? I certainly didn't. A friend brought it to my attention and when she did, it stood out. Not in a sore thumb kind of way, but more in a "look at this amazing flag being raised without any unnecessary pomp and ceremony because it's just so cool it doesn't even need bells and whistles" kind of way.
Feminine power
So what's the big deal? Who cares how many Twitter followers Katy Perry has, or Ellen Degeneres for that matter? Why is that influential? It doesn't have to be. But a quick scroll through their feeds proves at least one thing, these women are using their power in different ways and mostly, it's in a way that's so subliminal, we're not even aware that it's happening — until we are — like now.
It's in the way they talk to their followers. Sometimes they're a friend, sometimes a do-gooder, sometimes they're playful, sometimes they're inspirational — and none of this is new, or even particularly powerful, but the language is. And that is powerful.
Language is a passive thing in many ways. We use it without even thinking about where it comes from. We, as woman, are completely oblivious to the fact, some of the time, that a lot of what we say, turns of phrases and the ways in which we use them have been dictated by men through years of patriarchal societal rule and the roles they established.
Even to this day, women get asked the types of questions men don't, such as: "How do you do your job when you have kids?"
All steeped in stereotype and archaic roles, determined by men, and communicated in a language — or word choice — prescribed by men. We're slowly becoming more aware of it, and now we as women are less inclined to find fame and fortune because of who's wives or mothers we are.
But still, the language exists, and it persists. It is just there, it is just language being used.
And just like this, in this same unintentional way, something new is brewing and bubbling under. Influential women are dictating their own terms of communication without even knowing it. Without perhaps the audience even knowing it. Just like it happened with how we use language that is patriarchal in nature, so it's happening now, on Twitter – A new world, a new order and a new language.
Katy Perry is communicating to her audience in a new compact language, a language that's conducive not only to Twitter, but to the digital age, a language that wasn't used before.
Carving a new language
It's not a predetermined language. It's made of emojis and videos and Instagrams. I
It's free of maleness and yes, even when she does use words – those are free of maleness or even sex too.
She has in her following what she refers to as KatyKats, the same way Lady Gaga has her Monsters. Neither of them have a sex assigned to them. There is space for masculinity, femininity and everything in between. More than that, these influencers are exercising this language on all colours and creeds, at the same time. Breaking free not only of the patriarchal use of language, but also patriarchal responses – in many ways, it's gender free engagement.
I know that the pertinent "which came first, the chicken or the egg?" question prevails. That is: Are these women carving the language for themselves? Or is it just that the language is being carved regardless and they are using it more independently?
Could be either, could be both, and it's definitely dynamic in that sense. But the fact remains, this language is falling freely and being used freely. It's fluid in a sense. It's not tied to anything that's predetermined and it's of their choosing.
Yes, this kind of communication is so common on the platform in question that it's just accepted as the norm. We, and perhaps they are not even privy to the way in which they're using it. This gender-free, pronoun-free use of language engages, involves and equalises. And it's not only true for the women in their audiences, the women who are influenced by them, but the men too.
It's not a militant, come down to our level language, or a forceful we're up on your level kind of language. It's not insistent. It's not argumentative. It's a fluid transition to the next step.
On Twitter, women rule but even so, all their followers are equal. Willingly – because they are being communicate to in a certain way. It's sort of just happening independently, yet, if one stands back and reflects on it a bit, it is interesting for women.
It's a digital movement, on screen, in real time - shift. And perhaps, if this can happen on what is an extension of daily life in digital, perhaps it can happen in real life too?
Collectively, the top five influential women on Twitter share an audience of approximately 217-million followers. That's a massive portion of people who are all participating in the same conversation, at the same time, in a language that's not determined by men and has not been used that way before – albeit subliminally.
And it is certainly more people than any Tom, Dick or Harry could fit into a town hall filled by more Toms, Dicks and Harrys in days gone by.

Sony retires first-generation SAIT
This article is part of the Storage magazine issue of Vol. 6 No. 8 October 2007
From his vantage point as general manager of New York City-based Broadway Video Digital Media, a service bureau that converts tapes and video to files for its clients, Dirk Van Dall could see the proverbial writing on the wall. Like many users and resellers of SAIT (Sony Electronics' proprietary half-inch tape format), he wasn't surprised when Sony announced it would stop shipping the product this month. "LTO-3 is really hard to beat, particularly if they can get the density up to 800[GB]," says Van Dall. "We'll support anyone who has it [SAIT-1]. But we haven't spec'd it for a while." Van Dall is one of many SAIT-1 users who began phasing it out before Sony did. The network library at National Lampoon, the multimedia comedy company, was using SAIT, but Van Dall's company had National Lampoon's data migrated off SAIT a while back. Now, he says, LTO-3 is a common choice for many clients. "It's about speed, price and uptake on their drives," says Van Dall. "For legacy users, LTO-3 has much faster search rates." With clients like ...

Storage grid pushes the envelope
What started out as a test-bed project for Network Appliance is now a good example of architecting enterprise storage systems. The vendor's Kilo-Client project showcases how SAN booting and thinly provisioned snapshots can be used in a storage grid for rapid provisioning, simplified storage management and huge disk space savings.

Top 10 tips of the summer of 2006
Storage, security and open source were the front runners in our tally of the Top 10 SMB tips for the summer of 2006.
How useful are storage benchmarks?
Most storage vendors like to tout how well their gear performed on benchmark tests, but the results may not always be as they first appear. The benchmarking process can be easily manipulated because of the large number of variables that influence performance results. To level the playing field, test results need to be categorized by product type, configuration standards need to be defined for each category and vendors must strictly adhere to the configurations.

Contacts and relationships are the lifeblood of any business. They also come in all shapes and sizes–from supporters, partners, and media to customers and evangelists. With more businesses operating online and on social media, your ability to reach out to and connect with these people has increased exponentially. Imagine yourself on any given day, talking to 50 customers, replying to the 100 emails in your inbox, and interacting with thousands of Twitter followers.
This reality has changed the way you manage and build your relationships. There are too many contacts who are on too many different channels.
Luckily, a simple contact management system will help to streamline all the relationships in your business. A contact manager is a program that enables you to store, track, and manage all your interactions with contacts.
In six easy steps, I'll show you how to create your own contact management system that will identify the most important contacts and qualified prospects for your business. Let's get started.
Setting Up Your Contact Management System
You will need three tools:
- Google Docs for your contact manager.
- IFTTT, a tool that will automatically create lists of contacts with whom you interact.
- HootSuite, a social media management dashboard.
Next, follow these steps:
1. Define Key Attributes for Your Contacts
When do you consider a contact a lead? How do you differentiate between a customer and an evangelist? Identify the key characteristics that you look for and group them. This will help you frame the contexts of your interactions. To start, use the following categories:
- Customers
- Leads and prospects
- Evangelist
- Partners
- Media
- Supporters
These categories will be the "tag" that you assign to contacts in step 2.
2. Set Up Your Contact Management Database
Create a Google Docs spreadsheet with the column headings shown in the image below to record important contact information.
3. Start Tracking Contacts Who Interact With You
Set up IFTTT to record each contact who interacts with you on Twitter into a list. For example, when someone new follows you on Twitter, they will be placed into your "followers" list. In addition to the categories earlier, create lists on IFTTT to segment your contacts:
- Followers
- Mentions
4. Use a Social Media Dashboard to Manage Interactions Online
Next, set up HootSuite's social media dashboard to quickly browse and interact with your contacts. Follow these steps:
- Sign up for HootSuite.
- Connect your Twitter account.
- Create a stream. A stream is a column in the HootSuite app which we will use to display your various Twitter lists.
- Create six lists for your different contact categories. The lists will already be available from when you created them in IFTTT. Just select the appropriate lists and click "Create Stream."
- Create three search queries to track and engage new leads on Twitter.
Twitter search allows you to set up searches specific keywords relevant to your business and industry. From inside HootSuite, you can set up each search to be its own stream. To decide which keywords you should be searching for, pay close attention to the type of words customers use when talking about your industry. Explore how they describe their problems and the solutions they are looking for.
You can also use search to find leads who are conducting research and inquiring about your competition—through searches for their brand name.
For example, you could find a lead who is asking if anyone has any experience with a certain competitor, or is unhappy with their current solution. Set up searches for the following:
- People who tweet keywords relevant to your business/industry.
- People who tweet about your competition.
- Industry leaders you would like to build relationships with.
5. Create a Dashboard to Visualize Your Relationships
A dashboard helps you to quickly analyze and understand the type of relationships you have in your business. Each week, you will be able to track your efforts and see how they have affected those relationships. By using a simple formula, Google Docs will automatically calculate the number of contacts in the different "categories" in your contact management system and update those numbers for you.
6. Interact and Grow Your Relationships
Relationships can go stale and lose touch if you don't continually interact with your contacts. The only difference is that you are now tracking what you do and can see how you affect those relationships. After a lead has turned into a customer or a customer has turned into an evangelist, you can log that into your contact manager and see a tangible return on your efforts.
Tweet your prospects, answer their questions, offer them advice, and when the time comes, they will remember you. Maybe they will tweet you back, or they'll sign up for and evangelize your product/service. Either way, you'll know when you reach those 100 contacts.

The son of a former assistant minister has been sentenced to death after he was found guilty of robbery with violence.
Nairobi Chief Magistrate Kiarie Waweru ruled that the prosecution had proven beyond reasonable doubt that William David Tett was part and parcel of a gang that violently robbed his foster father William Mulready Tett on September 6 2011 at Karen, Nairobi.
Mr Waweru dismissed the young Tett's pleas to be handed a non-custodial sentence, ruling that he participated in the robbery on his own volition and the mandatory sentence is death by hanging.
"I have considered that he is a first offender but also the fact that the offence he is charged with carries only one mandatory sentence. I will be imposing an illegal sentence to deviate from what the law says and therefore him to suffer death," said Mr Waweru.
Tett is the foster son of Mr Mulready and Mrs Betty Tett.
He was charged with violently robbing his father while armed with a revolver and a knife a wallet containing Sh1,000, an ATM card, Visa Card, Alien Identity Card, two medical cover cards, three supermarket's smart cards and a mobile phone all valued at Sh157,000.
According to the prosecution's evidence, the young Tett while in cahoots with others raided his parent's home and robbed them including two workers.
The court was told that Mr Tett wanted to kill the former Westlands MP and her husband during the robbery.
Corporal Benson Ingosi and Constable Hillary Kyalo Kimuya told the court that they found two bodies at the Tett's Karen home.

New Year's Resolutions are notoriously hard to keep. It's often because the goal is too big, or simply unattainable. But you also need to take responsibility for failing to stick to it.
We here at Mix 104.1 wish all of these celebrities can adopt these New Year's Resolutions we've suggested for them, and actually follow through. Some of them have to try harder than others, but successful resolutions would make life better for everyone involved.
Some of these people are only important around here, while others will have fans worldwide waiting to see what they do. We're looking at you, Bruno Mars…
But there's also Mayor Menino, who we hopefully still get to see on TV, and the Boston sports teams who are oh-so-close to winning a championship. And maybe winter won't be so bad this time around?
Here are 10 New Year's Resolutions we hope become realities in 2014:
Taylor Swift: Write a song about something else, for a change
We're not knocking Taylor Swift's songwriting ability – she is clearly awesome at it. But when you write literally every song ever about a failed relationship or past romance that didn't live up to your expectations, that can get tiresome. Swifty needs to liven up her subject matter with some diversity – maybe about things that make her happy? How about a party anthem? Because if we need to hear (and begrudgingly love) one more song about your ex…
Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen: Spend more time in New England
They've got their castle in California, but soon they will have a mansion in Brookline – so there's no reason to believe Tom & Gisele won't be around here more often! Hopefully for the Patriots' sake Tom spends some of his off-season here working out, and it would just be cool to have more major celebrities hanging around town for much of the year. Have your camera ready!
Mayor Menino: Find a way to stay in the public eye
For us, the saddest part of Mayor Menino's retirement is the thought that he might not make as many public appearances. His shortcomings in the public speaking department have become endearing to Bostonians over time, and they can only get better when he doesn't have the responsibility of running the city. We don't want to lose that. But hey, he'll always be "Mayor Menino" to us and surely he won't completely disappear…Right?
Kim Kardashian & Kanye West: Make it through the year married
Assuming KimYe make it happen and tie the knot at some point in 2014, the first goal should be to outlast the sham of a marriage that was the 72-day Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries experiment. Then the goal should be to make it through all of 2014 without a divorce. Then we'll see what happens from there. This doesn't look like a celebrity marriage built to last, but stranger things have happened.
Red Sox: Prove to everyone that 2013 was not a fluke
The Red Sox will field roughly the same team in 2014 as the group who improbably won the World Series in 2013, so there's no reason to believe they won't be in the thick of the playoff race once again. They also have an up-and-coming star in Xander Bogaerts and plenty of young pitching coming up through the farm system, so they should be able to sustain the success of the 2013 turn-around – but they still have to execute!
MBTA: Expand late-night service
The MBTA is officially expanding its service past 3AM on weekends starting in the spring, and it's up to you, the passenger, to make it a success. There will surely be thousands upon thousands of people stumbling out of bars at 2AM glad to be able to hop on the T instead of grabbing a taxi, especially in areas like Faneuil Hall. Once it proves successful, it's up to the T to make the service permanent all week. You can do it!
Danny Ainge: Get a superstar player for the Celtics
This is easier said than done. For the Celtics, it's practically impossible to lure a big-name free agent to Boston, so their best option for acquiring a superstar player is through a big trade or the draft. The draft looks out right now, because they're playing reasonably well and won't finish in the bottom 5 of the league, so Danny Ainge needs to pull off another version of the Kevin Garnett trade from 2007 – trade several medium-to-small pieces for one major piece. It's not impossible, but many strings need to be pulled for it to happen.
Yuengling Lager: Get back here sooner rather than later!
Yuengling Lager is officially returning to Mass. liquor store shelves in 2014 after over 20 years away, but an official date has not been set. Can we set the date ourselves? January 1. Please and thank you.
Mother Nature: Go easy on us this winter
It might already be too late – there's reportedly 6+ inches of snow on the way this Thursday and Friday. But once that's out of the way, maybe Mother Nature could take it easy with the snow and extreme cold weather…Maybe???
Bruno Mars: Dominate the Super Bowl Halftime Show – and maybe win some new fans
Bruno Mars is a superbly talented artist with plenty of big hit songs under his belt, and he's squarely in the prime of his career – the perfect recipe for a Super Bowl Halftime Show performer. But he also has his fair share of doubters. Hopefully for his and his fans' sake he can prove everybody wrong with a spectacular performance in New York while the whole world watches on Super Bowl Sunday.

text: Don't let your garden go to waste! Here's how to dry your herbs for money-saving eating all winter long #Food#fall#gardening#herbs September 19 | Cat Rocketship If you've been growing herbs 'round your place, now's a really good time to start drying them so you'll have fresher herbs all winter long. Save them now, before their herby oils begin leeching out (though if you dawdle for a few weeks, you'll be okay too — as long as you get to them before frost hits.) When dried or frozen correctly, you'll have herbs for a very long time — to use for cooking, tinctures, or magickal rites. It is so, so easy. Here's what I did to save my herbs — cilantro, sage, oregano, chives, and more. Start with dry herbs — i.e., not dew-covered ones. Leafy herbs like basil should be frozen, and sticky, drier herbs can be hung and dried. In my experience, if you aren't sure which is right is just pick as best you can and you'll probably be fine. Cut each herb as close to the base as possible. For the herbs you plan to hang and dry, this is especially important because you must strip some of the stem so that you may bundle it with other herbs and tie them off. I cut my samples of each herb: chives (above), oregano, rosemary, peppermint, lavender, and sage. Some I set aside for drying. Some I laid into single layers in freezer bags, and those were done. For the herbs-to-be-dried, cut holes in the sides of paper bags, to allow circulation. Insert bundles of stems, and tie off the bags. I packed the Ziplock bags away in the freezer and hung the paper bags in the corner of my studio. It's important for the bagged herbs to have an airy, dry room with some circulation. The bags keep the herbs dark and potent. After two weeks, your herbs are sufficiently dried and can be stored more permanently. I still have herbs from last winter — when stored properly, they're good for it. This whole process took me 30 minutes exactly, and that was with a bunch of running back and forth from the kitchen to the garden with forgotten supplies. Herb gardens are so easy to grow — and can cut down on your grocery bill in a huge way. Join our community! Reporter Name * Reporter Email * Original text Enter the original text here.

There's no doubt fresher herbs are better — but me, personally? I can grow things like MAD — if they're outside. I have yet to be terribly successful with indoor plants, though I'm hoping Derek Powazek's advice will be helpful this winter. 1 agrees Reply love it Reply Most times, we'll cut up the leaves ahead of time and just place them in a bowl on the table to dry. It doesn't take long. I recommend cutting up the chives first anyway, as mine always dried better. 4 agree Reply My mother taught me to snip fresh herbs into special ice cube trays (read separate from the ones you use for ice). Then you can drop them into any dish you want fresh herbs and it won't matter if there's a little water. You can also mix your herbs in the trays and make "Italian" ones etc. 4 agree Reply Join the conversation Cancel Reply Your email address will not be published.

It has commonly been described as an absence or suppression of concern, emotion, excitement, feeling, motivation or passion, and also as a state of indifference that are otherwise or generally found to be arousing. Positive psychologists describe apathy as the result of the individual feeling that s/he is unable to address challenges or also of perceiving no challenge at all (learned helplessness).
The word is derived from Greek ἀπάθεια (literally, "without emotion") and has been variously evaluated. For Hindu-Buddhist monks and the ancient Stoics, a state of indifference toward events and entities outside one's control was deemed desirable. The early Christians disagreed and considered apathy as an obstruction in the way of devotion to God. Soldiers returning from World War I were subject to 'shell shock' which induced a sense of numbness and indifference to social interaction upon returning from combat. Apathy is also considered the response of an organism when it is subject to stimuli that are excessively intense or complicated.
It has, however, largely been considered negative in modern Western discourse, because of the impact it has over relationships, political processes and personal discipline. Correlations with mental disorders have also been pointed out – schizophrenia patients do not express significant interest in events around them – as also its links with depression and shortcomings in health.
Apathy in the workplace is a concern not only for the sake of productivity but also for employee satisfaction. Causes include poor physical environment, unsuitable working conditions, lack of opportunity to apply skills, discouragement of initiative and responsibility, curbing of social interactions, burnout and lack of job security. Ensuring cleanliness, better lighting, soft background music, conducting informal meetings, providing infrastructural access and amenities, clarifying roles & goals, instituting reward systems and personal integrity on the part of managers are measures that go a long way toward boosting motivation and interest.
Hence, this concludes the definition of Apathy along with its overview.

Two stabbed near Marine Avenue Park in Manhattan Beach
Two men were stabbed late at night Dec. 26 near Marine Avenue Park in Manhattan Beach.
The victims—residents of Lennox and Inglewood—were not critically injured and declined medical attention, MBPD detective Michael Rosenberger said
Around 11 p.m., the victims saw the suspect puncturing tires in the nearby parking lot, Rosenberger said. When they approached him, the suspect slashed one victim across the face and also stabbed his calf. The suspect stabbed the other victim in the shoulder.
The victims told police that the suspect "used something like an ice pick" to assault them, Rosenberger said. They reported the incident to MBPD after the suspect fled, he said.
The suspect dropped an ID as he fled, and police are currently working to determine whether it belonged to him. Rosenberger said on Tuesday that police will soon bring in the victims for a photo lineup.
The suspect is described as a black male, 25 to 30 years old, approximately 5-foot-10 to six-feet tall weighing 160 to 175 pounds. At the scene, he wore a black jacket with a hood and black pants, Rosenberger said.

My experience with this company was mostly great. The staff member i spoke to was excellent. I had lots of questions and options I wanted him to find out about and he did everything with willingness and friendliness. I was able to contact him almost any time and he was always ready to help my enquiries. I found him very honest and approachable.
The website itself was less satisfactory as there were various flights displayed at prices that were not actually available. This was quite annoying and misleading but once I was dealing with the staff member the service was excellent.

Games to Phone with Data Cable
Hi everyone I am hoping you can help me. I have bought a data cable for my V551 and it came with a CD with a bunch of games on it. But I am having trouble getting the games loaded on the phone I am using Mobile Phone Tools as well. Any help would be appreciated.
Your phone may need the java app loader unlocked. This is a SEEM edit. Go to howardforums.com and do a search. There are many threads detailing these procedures, most with pictures posted of what you should be seeing on your screen thru each step. With my v400 I had to do the SEEM edit to open up the app loader. With my V3 (razr) I can simply open up p2ktools and load them thru there easily with no "hacking" required. Hope this helps!

Anyone ever heard of foofshop.com ? They make amazing MacBook cases, I fell in love the first time I saw them. At the moment 42 $AU is not that much, 24 euro. (For a laptop case quite reasonable.) But international shipping and handling add another 22.50 $AU and that's less fun. Besides, I don't own a Mac but a normal PC laptop. And why spend money if you have some fun fabrics laying around and no class because your professor is at a conference?
For the first project I used black polar fleece and a Ikea pillowcase from my parents. (They make those things awfully small, I had to make my parents new ones because their pillows wouldn't fit in it. I kept the original ones because I liked the print.)
Actually I made the first a while ago, and made a few more since. I showed it to my best friend and he liked to have one too. I used another Ikea pillowcase (my little brother's) and a piece of blue polar fleece. Recently I bought a portable harddisk and to protect it I made a mini case. Plain dark blue cotton and white polar fleece. It's kinda boring, maybe I'll put an applique or some embroidery on it.
The design is very simple, most likely you can find out how to make it yourself. The hardest part is the ease. The first one is quite snug, the second too loose. I used 1 cm for the first and 2.5 cm for the second. The harddisk case is something in between, but because it is much smaller it's a bit loose too. There is no good way too calculate it. For the small one I made the lining a little bit smaller, otherwise it wouldn't fit in the outer fabric. With the big covers it was not necessary, though you can do it if you have a very thick lining. Also I would like them a bit longer, but I have no idea how much would work best. If you have questions, I'll try to answer them. (I try to visit the forum regularly, but I also try to do get some crafting done before my summer break is over.)

This range sounds really great - I'd heard of the Liquid Gold before but wasn't entirely sure what it was. The eye cream sounds particularly appealing - will have to make sure I don't miss that QVC show! xReplyDelete
I love Liquid Gold so may have to try some others from the range:) xReplyDelete
I have wanted to try the liquid gold for a long time but still haven't got round to it! Are the results really that amazing?! :) xReplyDelete
The balancing cleanser from Alpha-H is one of my all time favourites. It's so calming on irritated skin!ReplyDelete
Sounds pretty good. I don't think I've heard about this brand before. I suffer from bad skin too though, so I might have to check out the products and try them.ReplyDelete
Lovely review, I definitely want to try that cleanser!ReplyDelete
You definitely loo younger than 25/26 and what a great price from QVCReplyDelete

My mother buys a few things from this brand I do pretend I have ran out of my own to use a tiny bit (occasionally!)ReplyDelete
From what I used I do like it, but I couldn't afford it myself :( This is still really interesting to read to see how others like it.:) xxx
I really need to try Liquid Gold - I get acne scars too, they take forever to fade, so it sounds like this could be a must have for me.ReplyDelete

I bought a little Alpha H kit so that I could try out the Liquid Gold Smoothing & Perfecting Mask, but I haven't really used it because I have so many other products competing for attention. I might have to pull out the cleanser their Balancing Cleanser for the mornings - I use balm cleansers at night but cream is my preference during the day.ReplyDelete

That eye complex sounds quite nice. I really need to invest in a good eye cream, the skin around my eyes has been so dry this winter, which is odd, since it's just around my eyes.ReplyDelete
First of all, I would like to say a big thanks for sharing this article. It is very important to keep your skin moisturized in all season. Use Sakare products to get beautiful skin.ReplyDelete

TalkTalk talks up SIM only mobile deals
Signs Voda UK for heavy lifting
Posted in Networks, 30th July 2010 13:05 GMT
TalkTalk is to launch its own mobile phone service, thanks to a deal with Vodafone UK.
The company is launching a range of SIM only voice and data tariffs later in the summer. Given its track record with home broadband and landlines, we anticipate highly competitive pricing.
In cellco parlance, this tie-in makes TalkTalk an MVNO or mobile virtual network operator, just like Virgin Mobile, which piggybacks off T-Mobile UK, and Tesco Mobile, which relies on O2 for the heavy lifting.
TalkTalk used to be part of Carphone Warehouse but demerged from the retail group earlier this year to be a pure play telecommunications company. The company claims 4.2 million broadband customers.

The city of Shinnston is working on a new city building.
It already has a location ready to go for its $6 million project.
It said the new building will provide space for city administrators and room for the community to hosts events throughout the year.
"The building is really going to be a hub for the community. It will provide a permanent home for us. It will provide new offices for administration. But the main thing this building will provide is a gathering space," said Emma Clarke, acting city manager.
The project is expected to take about a year and a half to complete.
The city hopes to have the building finished in early 2016.

Zoe Christian Fellowship of Los Angeles will observe its 30th Anniversary on Sunday, January 19, at 3:30 p.m., at 5315 West Adams Boulevard in Los Angeles.
"Praise God for being able to celebrate thirty years of pastoring Zoe Christian Fellowship of Los Angeles," said Bishop Frank Stewart, senior pastor.
"Many local churches have branched out from this one body. Many are associated in an official capacity and others in a non-official. Altogether in my estimation, including official and non-official capacity, there have been approximately thirty local churches. Thank God for all of them. To God be the Glory," he said.
"I am looking forward to the local body expanding the Kingdom of God on this earth before Christ returns in an exponential fashion."
Saluting to his spouses for their support, Bishop Stewart reflected, "For any human activity to last 30 years is a long time and a milestone. Twenty-eight of the 30 years was with my late wife, Charlene, and blessed helpmeet.
"One of those 30 years has been with my current wife and blessed helpmeet, Sandra. Believe me, a pastor truly needs a good helpmeet. I am grateful to have them by my side.
"Encouraging the public to attend the anniversary service and dinner, Bishop Stewart added, "Thanks to our core supporters, my family, active members and friends for your investment into this work. We look forward to seeing you on our celebration date."
For information or to RSVP for the dinner, call (323) 931-1477, ext. 21.
