How to Build a Profitable Client Portfolio via Authentic Connections
Dec 23 2019
4:00 pm
60 mins
Irene Rivkah Krasnoff, Digital Marketing & Sales Strategist, Sapir Management Group
Social Selling is the art of selling via social media. It's based on cultivating relationships and building authentic connections so that the selling process isn't awkward. As a result, your prospective client isn't defensive, anticipating having to say "no" to you. Why? Because you already laid the groundwork by building relationships via social media, and establishing a deep sense of trust where you're seen as the expert. Soulful social selling is about framing the sales conversation as a two way process to dig deeper into their specific challenges in a totally relaxed environment where the prospective client feels it's OK to say no.
You can even sell via livestreams and get "hell yeses!"
By using social media to produce compelling and valuable content, you're laying the groundwork during the early stages of the marketing and sales cycle for the client to internally say "yes" to your products or services. You'll learn how to use social media to develop relationships across 4 key phases: captivate your ideal clients' attention, cultivate online conversations, connect with your ideal clients and deepen the relationships & convert to paying clients without resorting to closing techniques that feel contrived, manipulative and product focused versus client focused.
Social selling is soulful because you're relying on your intuition to guide the conversation versus using a rigid structure. The conversations are still structured, but you have the flexibility to move in a different direction based on what your ideal client shares with you.

FROM STORIES to ROI: 10 steps for transforming your customer insights
Sep 18 2019
7:00 am
45 mins
Philippe Ruttens, B2B Marketing & Sales Transformation Consultant & Coach
Do you think your CEO really cares about how creative your latest storytelling campaign was?
Of course, content, stories and brand experience are the foundation of B2B marketing to generate customer trust as, even with data and marketing automation, we still play on a human-to-human, P2P field.
However a more structured approach is required to engage your seven communities optimally through insights-based storytelling. This requires "pain point-based" stories while delivering maximum ROI at every step of the buyer journey, 90% of which is measurable.
Philippe will explain 10 practical steps as core principles for optimising your storytelling impact with a required ROI and REVENUE focus, accompanied by examples of dashboard/benchmarks, including:
· How to start from a solid data and insights foundation
· Develop a list of key questions on your stakeholders' mind
· Which KPIs to use as priority for your content, campaigns and channels
Not only are insights and ROI key components of your storytelling strategy but also the visualisation of your data into stories. The DATYLON framework and examples will also explain further how the way you communicate your data and stories to your stakeholders is key in WOW-ing your audiences, from customers to CEO.
This webinar is a summary taken from Philippe's full "STOROI" approach to make your marketing team a success in the 2020s. READ MORE on "The CMO is dead, long live the chief STOROI o
Bringing over 25 years of experience as a B2B marketer, Philippe coaches CMOs and helps sales & marketing teams transform faster into ROI-driven revenue marketing centres of excellence. Leveraging his multi-sector consultant/interim manager expertise developed at firms like Accenture, EY, MasterCard and Iron Mountain, he combines his strategic demand generation vision with a pragmatic people- and ROI-focused operational approach to help teams achieve their commercial objectives faster. www.ruttens.com

Aug 14 2019
47 mins
Christa Tuttle, Founder and CEO, Launch Marketing
In order to make intelligent decisions from marketing data, B2B marketing execs need smart, precise data. Locating, vetting and analyzing this data, however, is one of the least exciting things for companies to prioritize. Many companies will choose volume over value and continue piling new data into their CRMs rather than taking on the slower, long-term work on proper data cultivation.
Join Launch Marketing's Founder and CEO Christa Tuttle as she explores the importance of a strong data foundation in maximizing the profit potential of marketing. This presentation will discuss the true value of data in several components of an integrated marketing plan, from messaging, lead generation and more.

Elisabeth Cullivan Thomas, Founder, Launch Product Marketing
Product marketers are not building a product, nor are they selling a product, so what do they do? Most often, they find themselves at the intersection of product development, sales, and marketing. The role is ambiguous - sometimes strategic with persona development, pricing, and messaging responsibilities or tactically focused on collateral, webinars, and research. Great product marketers thrive on the role's ambiguity and cross-functionality. Attend this webinar for an inside look at the high-demand role of product marketing.

jrizz Posts: 1I have a 02 Nissan Sentra SE-R spec v and it is having both problems. My car won't start but I have power. It cranks over but will not fire. I have 12 volts everywhere I can test and I still can't get it to start. I towed it to the dealership and this guy wiggled a wire and it started. the next day the engine cut out on the freeway and I had to tow it home. I can't get my obd2 reader to pull any codes. I have tested if it is getting spark and it is. What in the wide, wide world of sports is a going on here!0
citybeach Posts: 1I have an 03 sentra. I just changed the battery because I have had to jump start it a number of times. But after changing the battery, it does not start. At first, the lights worked but the car would not turn over. Minutes later, I tried again, and nothing worked---no lights, no clicking, nothing. I've been told that it could be a starter problem, or that the alternator fuse may be shot. Any other suggestions?0
slvwino Posts: 1Hello everyone. I'm new to posting but not new to the site. Just yesterday I was having the same problems with my 04 sentra spec v. It would start but then if I cut it off and try to start it again, nothing. It was so bad that I even left it running while I ordered some fast food and it just cut off! I took it to a mechanic and he told me that it wasn't getting any spark, and that the cam sensor and crank sensor went dead. Anybody else get official word on their problems yet? And any help would be grateful. Oh and the guy says that it will cost me $307.61 to get it fixed. :sick:0
jsmith178 Posts: 2Hello everyone!! I hope someone can help answer my question!
I have a '96 Nissan Sentra GLE. For the past 2-3 years (I've only had this happen to me about 5 times total). When going down the road, my car will all of a sudden just stall/die. The engine will just completley shut off leaving me with hardly any brakes and stearing to control my car. I've noticed that it only happens when it is somewhat hotter out and when I am getting low on gas (but not when my red light is on). The most it's ever done this is 2 times in 1 day. Once I finally come to a complete stop and am able to put it in Park, I can then start my car and off I go!!! Not only is this annoying but dangerous as I loose a lot of my brakes and steering. Please let me know if anyone else is having this issue!! Any suggestions anyone????0
miakasan Posts: 1I own a 04 Sentra 1.8S. I have had starting problems from the first few months. When I tried to start up the car, the lights would go on and the car would crank, but engine would not start up. I brought the car back to the dealership 3 times and they told me there is no problem. "It is normal for the engine to start up after 4 or 5 tries." I told my friends and they said it's BS. I lived with that for 4 years (37K miles) and last year the battery died. I changed it at Sears and the startup improved a bit but it was still not perfect.(took 2 to 3 tries). 2 months or so after I replaced the battery, I brought the car into the dealership for free inspection and oil change. The rep told me that my radiator was leaking and my head gasket was loose and that the car is dangerous (40K miles). Rep also said the head gasket was still under warranty so I told them to just fix both. I did some research online during the week that my car was in the shop and found out the starting problem might have to do with the gasket leaking and sure enough, after replacing them, the startup problem pretty much went away. It takes 1-2 tries now. I think I had a lemon to begin with but Nissan wouldn't fix it for u unless they can charge you something. I have other problems with this sentra but since they are not related to the startup issue, I won't take up space here... but I have to say, I don't know how much longer I should keep this car. It already costs me 1500 this year in repairs and "maintenance"0
antracite Posts: 1Same problem here! No start up and stalled.
I got stuck on the freeway once after my 04 Sentra shut off unexpectedly after coming to a stop because of traffic. All I can say is that experience was horrible! I almost got hit several times after traffic flow resumed.
Nissan seems to have a problem with emissions systems. I had to replace several parts that I later learned where under and extended warranty (150000 miles). Its been a hassle to get my money back. No one is willing to help!
Service is very poor at Nissan, you would think they would want you to come back.0
I have an 04 1.8 Sentra I have an electric problem, no fire on the spark plugs I checked all the fuses they are fine .Maybe a corroded wire maybe a sensor I'm baffled.0
roberto9013 Posts: 1i got a 2000 nissan sentra its ben running great sence the day we got it,one day shhut off the car like any other day went to start it the next day and i wouldnt start,messed wit some stuff jiguled some wires and cleand some stuff in finnally started drove for bout two and half weeks no problems now it only starts when it wants to and it dosent stay running for long we tryed all sorts of stuff and its starting to cost more money then i got and missed work do to towing any ideas will help thanks0
charlene5 Posts: 1I have a 2004 1.8s sentra and it has had cranking problems for over a year. Recently, it stalled twice after starting with the long crank. It doesn't have a problem first thing in the a.m., but when it does occur it is during the day, and it doesn't always happen. I had the spark plugs changed and the mechanic cleaned out something. I called nissan service and their mechanic told me it could be a fuel pump or the crank position sensor. I had already called nissan headquarters and they really were no help. They told me that I would have to bring it to nissan service. A friend has the same car and has the same problems, therefore, I know that it is a defect with the car. I really don't know what to do and don't want to keep spending money. I am bringing it back to my mechanic tomorrow and it will check it again.-1

joseph32 Posts: 2New here...need some advise/pointers. My Nissan loses power while driving; I know for a fact that when it loses power the spark plugs are not firing up...I step on the gas and nothing. First I thought it was the gas pump, but when I encounter this trouble and I switch gear the power comes back. My mechanic believes it's the distributor but he's not really sure as it can get very expensive. I've had this problem for the last six months, approx. 9k miles. I have changed the spark plugs and cables (original parts), and the distributor cap is fairly new. Does anyone here have any ideas as to what the problem maybe? this little car is my worrior car and would hate to give it up, it saves me a lot of money in gas as I commute 1hr each way when going to work.
Any advise is highly appreciated.0
ray111 Posts: 1NOVEMBER 2007 -- Nissan is recalling 653,910 MY 2002 and 2005-2006 Altima and Sentra vehicles equipped with 2.5L engines. The crankshaft position sensor can overheat causing a brief interruption in the signal output from the sensor. If the interruption in the signal from the sensor is so brief that the electronic control module (ECM) logic does not have time to diagnose the condition, the engine may stop running without warning while the vehicle is driven at a low speed increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will reprogram the ECM. Certain MY 2006 Altimas which have been previously remedied under recall campaign 06V223 (Nissan R0606) are not included in this recall since the reprogramming for that recall also included this reprogramming. The recall is expected to begin during December 2007. This recall was the subject of a Recall Query, RQ06-001, conducted by the Office of Defects Investigation. 07V5270
sputnam Posts: 1My 94 Sentra starts fine (cold), and I take off, then just about when warm air comes from the vents, it starts bucking, and dies. I roll to a stop, turn off the ignition, and wait about 2-3 minutes, and crank it over. It starts, then dies after a few seconds. I wait another 2-3 nminutes, and it will start, and die immediately. This goes on for around 10-15 minutes, then it will start, and I can drive away, like nothing happened. Once in a while, it will buck, but still stay running. This happens like clockwork, and almost exactly the same time/distance.
When the car is still warm after some travel, it will do the exact same thing, but after a shorter time/distance - around 5 minutes. If the car was just on a short hop, and is still up to temp, it works fine. It's just when the car has sat for over an hour or so.
Note: If I crank it over too soon after it dies, it just cranks, with no firing, and I have to wait an extra amount of time for it to restart,, but will still die again, and go thru the cycle. Anyone have any ideas?
BTW, replaced fuel filter, plugs, wires, cap and rotor when this started.0
sumerg Posts: 1Took my mechanic a while to figure out that it was my coils. if one goes bad then you will have to replace them all.0
ezeena Posts: 1Have a 96 Sentra GLX. Never had problems with the car until recently. It stutters and turns off when the car is stopped at a red light or stop sign. It stutters and sounds like its going to stop on the highway which scares the heck out of me. I've had 3 mechanics, including the Hartford Nissan Service Department take a look at it and no one can find the problem. Does anyone have any ideas as to what is causing my car to stutter and shut off? I've already spent $300.00 on throttle cleaning and diagnostic testing that revealed nothing at the Nissan dealer. Just want to know what is the problem so that I can have it fixed. Thanks.0
rjuliette Posts: 1Hey there, I have recently been having the SAME problems with stepping on the gas and I get maybe 1500 RPM's . did you ever resolve this issue? We've changed spark plugs, and my mechanic said it may be the coil pack going out. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I hate the whold trial and error thing.
Take care,
kimmie11 Posts: 1I have the same problem with Nissan Sentra 2000. Right now I can't start it. I took it to a garage and the mechanic hooked up the car to the computer and couldn't find anything. But I checked online and there is a number of very serious recalls having to do with starting and stalling. Contact Nissan dealer asap. Defective crank position sensor recall 01V357000 is just one of them.0
I have an 02 nissan sentra that won't start if puts forth a great effort. It did this a couple of months ago I replaced the fuel pump and then it was fine until now. Now it is doing the same no start noise as when it was the pump but now I can hear the pump kicking in and trying to run however it won't actually turn over. My check engine light as been on for several years unless I go down an EXTREMELY bumpy road it will go off. Someone PLEASE help.0
It also will not connect to a diagnostic code reader. It makes it seem like there machine is broke when hooked up to my car.0
The wire he wiggles is the MAF wire the mass air flow sensor wire can cause your car to stall out or not start check for cracked wire or move the wire around and when the car starts use tie strap to keep it the were its at0
sounds like a fuse0
definitly the MAF wire it is the leading source to many problems including yours wiggle it or replace it it fixed mine 2 years ago no problems except oil burning since0
Wiggle MAF wire that is the primary source of all problems with this car seems i outsmarted the dealer and mechanics and if the wire is really charred it needs to be replaced0
mammi Posts: 2i have a 2001 nissan sentra..the battery is good, the alternator is good. it will only run about 20 minutes then battery needs charged, any ideas?0
ashhug Posts: 1I have an 02 sentra that did the same thing. Would run 15-20 minutes fine, and just shut off. Battery and alternator were fine. Turns out it was the crankshaft position sensor, which wasn't super costly to replace. A year later, I found out there had been a recall, and Nissan refused to reimburse me for the repairs I'd had done. Now my sentra refuses to start, and I've done the typical checks again. It's happened before, but after I had it towed to my mechanic, it started up just fine. Diagnostics were run, but no problems were found. I hate to have it towed again if it's going to be the same situation.0
I have a 2001 Sentra GXE with approx 106000 mi. Recently it started having trouble turning over when cold. My mechanic checked it out and said it was misfiring on #2 cylinder. He changed out the cylinder and it didn't fix the problem it made it worse. He said it was a computer issue and I would have to take the car to the dealer. My car which, was only not turning over well began to shake uncontrollably and want to stall at every stop. It is now sitting at the dealer waiting to be fixed. Any ideas? I sure hope it doesn't cost a fortune! I love my car.0
Ok, so the issue was a computer that needed to be replaced. Paid 1000 to replace it and the next day the service engine light came on again. Back to the dealership and they said that the cataylic converter was going out and that I have a leaking head gasket ($800 and $900 to fix). At this point is it time to trade or should I fix???? Seriously don't know if I can afford a monthly payment but don't know what to do!!! Any advice??0
Hello, I have bought a Nissan Sentra, 2001 few months ago. I am facing a weired problem. sometimes the engine stop suddenly while running and then when I turn the key the engine starts and run well. It doesnt happen always but frequently like every 15 days or so.
I am a new driver and new owner. no ideas whats going on. It is a matter of safety because it stops while running.
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated0
Hello have you got any solution for this?0

University of Minnesota's Administrative
Expenses Become Target of Lawmakers
From the Pioneer-Press:
Some state legislators vow to comb through the University of Minnesota's budget. Others demand a comparison between what the U and peer institutions spend on administration.
A front-page Wall Street Journal story on the university's rising administrative tab last week ran at a delicate time. The unflattering national press stirred up perennial questions about the university's overhead just as legislators gear up to tackle its $1.1 billion biennial budget request.
University President Eric Kaler went on the offensive: He penned an editorial. He sent lengthy email rebuttals to employees, alumni and parents. He stopped by the Capitol. There, even some Republican legislators say he's proved he is serious about a promise to rein in operational expenses he made when he took over 18 months ago.
Key legislators might differ on how lean the U is, but they agree about this much: Over the years, the U has suggested that sizing up and comparing administrative costs -- both to previous years and to other universities -- is just too messy a task. That stance no longer resonates after years of legislative clamoring for solid numbers.
Kaler said the U bowed out of an initiative to compare such costs across other Big Ten schools a few years back. Now, he is revisiting that decision.
"Going forward, the focus here is on being as effective and efficient as we can be," he said.
Kaler has walked a fine line on the issue of administrative costs: He
promised to slash them and shrink bureaucracy in his inaugural address. A few months into his tenure, he said the U's administration already was relatively lean. In recent months, he has made cuts.
He eliminated the Office for Academic Administration, including a vice president position most recently worth $414,000 in pay and benefits. He also did away with the Bursar's Office, where seven employees handled primarily student payment processing made obsolete by electronic banking. The total savings: $2.2 million.
Kaler also touts recent energy, purchasing and information technology savings worth millions of dollars. He feels the Journal story on U spending buried such steps as it zeroed in on payroll growth.
Based on 2011-12 data the U submitted to the federal government, its Twin Cities campus employs more than 17,000 people, or roughly one for every three students.
A 2011 university internal report showed a 10-year 52 percent increase in the number of jobs labeled administrative as total employment grew about 11 percent.
But school officials say the U's payroll data -- and thus analyses based on it -- misclassified about 350 instructors, lumping them with 650 administrative positions added in the past decade.
In any case, U leaders say the payroll has grown for legitimate reasons. Student enrollment is up 15 percent since 2000. Beefed-up support services such as academic and career counseling have helped push up graduation and retention rates. And a spike in research grants meant more staff to oversee compliance with often cumbersome regulatory strings attached.
Ann Hagen, chair of an advisory committee of the U's Academic Professionals and Administrators group, said spending criticism tends to paint administrators with too broad a brush: The 5,500 members of her employee group counsel, teach and coach students, facilitate research and staff extension offices. In 2011, according to the group's website, it represented almost 30 percent of university employees, up from 6 percent in 1980.
"We're not paper-pushers who sit around soaking up money," Hagen said, adding members worry about their jobs.
To Kaler, it's patently unfair to blame the university's rising tuition squarely on administrative costs when state support has declined steadily.
His assessment today: Some areas of university operations, such as the finance office, are extremely lean. Others need to get leaner.
And, he readily acknowledges, the university should do better at keeping track: "I think it's a fair question you should ask of any organization: 'How much do you spend on administrative oversight?"
In October, Kaler's administration unveiled a new breakdown of payroll spending in three broad categories. Professors and researchers accounted for about 57 percent of total payroll costs. Administrators in oversight roles covered another 11 percent. The remainder went to salaries and benefits for support positions, from clerks to librarians to administrators without supervisory duties in human resources and finance.
Board of Regents Chair Linda Cohen said Kaler has made progress.
"I think there are many things we're doing right," she said, "and many things we can approve upon." [improve?]
The Wall Street Journal story generated buzz on the Capitol in the first week of the legislative session. Within days, several House members had forwarded it to Rep. Bud Nornes, R-Fergus Falls, the ranking member on the Higher Education Finance and Policy committee. Terri Bonoff, the new DFL chair of the Senate Higher Education and Workforce Development committee, summoned Kaler to her office on Monday.
Legislators give Kaler credit for the steps he has taken to boost efficiency. They caution against letting the debate over operational spending overshadow the achievements of its students, faculty and researchers.
To Nornes, the charge that the U is top-heavy is at least partly a perception issue. Jeremy Miller, R-Winona, the ranking minority member on the committee Bonoff chairs, doesn't see it that way.
But lawmakers tend to agree: They have lost patience with the idea that administrative costs are so complex an issue that they defy definition or historical comparison.
Miller says he requested an estimate for such costs during the 2011 session. A year later, he got a breakdown of compensation for 11 top administrators and a 2010 comparison of presidential pay at Big Ten universities. For him, that response did not cut it.
He said this year he plans to ask for much more detailed spending information from the U as well as the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system.
"I think we really need to dig deep into their current budgets before we look at their new requests," he said. "I don't want to micromanage the university, but I do think it needs to be held accountable."
Senate Majority Leader Tom Bakk, DFL-Cook, said earlier this week he was "very troubled" by the Wall Street Journal story. He and Bonoff, of Minnetonka, sent Kaler a letter requesting an administrative cost comparison with other Big Ten universities, with an interim report due in March.
The university's budget proposal calls for a $91.6 million increase over the biennium. It ties some of the extra money to a two-year undergraduate tuition freeze. Heeding a call from Governor Mark Dayton, the U also pledged to trim 5 percent of operational costs, or $28 million over two years, and channel the savings into the classroom and lab.
That amount will include the cuts made earlier this fiscal year and others that are in the works, such as the closing of several academic centers, Kaler said: "It will be a number of small things adding up over time."
To Cohen, the board chair, the scrutiny is not all bad, pushing the university toward more transparency. When it comes to sizing up administrative costs, she said, "It's very tough to compare, but we're going to give it a try."

On Monday, March 10, Hanjin Shipping announced that it would continue its weekly transpacific vessel call in Portland.
The announcement comes as welcome news to the hundreds of shippers who depend on the carrier and its alliance partners to get cargo to and from international markets in Asia. According to Hanjin's notification to the Port, the company will be reviewing operational performance on a quarterly basis.
"Hanjin has been a valued customer of the Port for 20 years, and they have an important shipping franchise in this market." said Sam Ruda, chief commercial officer for the Port of Portland. "We will continue to work closely with all stakeholders to ensure that the case remains for Hanjin and all carriers to keep cargo moving through Portland's Terminal 6."
In October 2013, Hanjin officials indicated to the Port and terminal operator ICTSI Oregon, Inc. that low productivity and escalating costs needed to be addressed at the container terminal in order for the company to remain in the local market. Even with the decision to stay, operational conditions and labor productivity will need to stabilize and improve for container services calling Terminal 6 to be successful.
Hanjin is the largest container carrier calling Portland's Terminal 6. The service represents nearly 80 percent of container throughput at the terminal, averaging about 1,600 containers per week. Hanjin has shipping contracts with many of the area's largest shippers, and also provides significant vessel capacity servicing Oregon and regional agricultural shippers. The Hanjin service supports an estimated 657 direct jobs and $33 million in personal wages annually.
"We appreciate the support, commitment and patience shown by local shippers, as well as Hanjin, to continue this important service in Portland amidst some rough waters," said Ruda. "With this decision, we are hopeful that all parties involved will work together to continue improving the competitiveness and reputation of the container terminal."
The Port has a 25-year lease with ICTSI Oregon, Inc. for operation of the container terminal, where Hapag-Lloyd, Hamburg Süd and Westwood Shipping also provide container service for imports and exports. Besides containers, business lines at the Port's four marine terminals include autos, minerals, grain, steel, project cargo and liquid bulks.

The small Jewish high school in Houston that has been in national spotlight for being forced to forfeit its state semifinal basketball game will be allowed to play the game after all.
The Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools has received a temporary restraining order that will allow Beren Academy to participate in the 2A state semifinals.
Beren, an Orthodox Day school, had been scheduled to play Dallas Covenant at 9 p.m. Friday at Mansfield High School. But chose to forfeit the game because of the Jewish Sabbath.
The new gametime has yet to be announced.
Edd Burleson, the executive director of TAPPS, said Thursday morning that he will abide by the restraining order and is making the necessary arrangements.
"Unlike many people TAPPS does follow the law, and we will comply," Burleson said. "We're trying to make those arrangements at this time. As soon as those arrangements can be made, we'll post those on our website."
The TAPPS Executive Board had voted 8-0 – with one member not attending – on Wednesday to deny an appeal to reschedule the games.
Abilene Christian and Logos Prep of Sugar Land will play in the other state semifinal.
"First of all, I've got to call the three schools who are involved – the semifinal opponent and the other two opponents – and find out when they want to play," Burleson said. "Those folks need to have some word as long as they comply and they don't request a time during the Sabbath. We're going to allow them to have some input as to when and where and what time."
Earlier in the week, some big names came to the defense of Beren Academy.
Houston mayor Annise D. Parker and former Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy have come out to support Beren Academy.
Parker said she was "very disappointed" about the decision in a letter to TAPPS.
"It is also my understanding that TAPPS teams are not allowed to play any sports on Sundays," Parker wrote. "Which I presume is out of respect for the Christian Sabbath."
Van Gundy also left a phone message with TAPPS representatives.
"I called because when you're the head of an association like this, the only thing you should worry about is doing right by the kids," Van Gundy said in a phone interview with the New York Times. "This decision has nothing to do with the kids. I feel like they made a mistake and they don't have a vice president of common sense who will tell them that this is silly and it's O.K. to change your mind."

I was wondering if the width of the skirt (waist) is 60 inches or 36 inches (the 1 yd)?

60" wide. alternately, you could use two yards of narrower fabric. this would even alow you to mix and match patterns rather than finding a fabric that has a decorative border

Hi, thanks so much for giving us this pattern. Just joined here and I am blown away by the contributions that sewers make to this site. I just wanted to ask, on the webpage where I originally saw your skirt listed I saw that it said "copyright free". So I just want to check with you if you allow the sale of the finished product? Thanks Jen

Very practical and pretty too, but I am dying to ask… where was that?! I love the setting of your pics and I am very curious to know where they were taken, is that somewhere in Spain? Can't be Mexico, which I know you are fond of (read it in your blog) I've never seen such Architecture in Mexico. Anyways, beautiful skirt, and beautiful place… now I want to travel too sigh

it is Mexico, actually! these pics were taken in Chiapa de Corzo, Chiapas. the structure in the first pic was built around the time the Spanish were first there, though, so good guess either way!
Jan 5, 2011, 06.43 PMby nellyvdb
Never been to Chiapas, shame on me, cause I am from Mexico, that's why I was instantly drawn to your pics.

Love wilderness? Thank a veteran
Some of the environmental movement's greatest heroes were also heroes of World War II
Tom Brokaw coined the phrase "The Greatest Generation" to describe the veterans who helped win World War II and went on to reshape America into an industrial superpower. World War II was the deadliest war in modern human history — 60 million people killed between 1939-'45, as the globe was swept into total war. When the bloodshed was over and American veterans came home, many saw the public lands of their country with new eyes. Its wild beauty comforted them even as they recognized its vulnerability, and it wasn't long before some became staunch defenders of wilderness.
In Montana, I think of my late friend Loren Kreck, who was an energetic kid growing up in Los Angeles when he signed up for military service. He flew Corsair fighter planes off aircraft carriers in the South Pacific. After the war, Loren and his wife, Mary, settled in Montana, where they opened a dentistry office, raised a couple of boys and roamed the woods and waters by canoe, hiking boots and cross-country skis. Loren played pond hockey into his 80s, regularly schooling opponents half his age, like me.
Loren was among the founders of the Montana Wilderness Association, helped preserve the Scapegoat and Great Bear Wilderness Areas, and fought polluters in his beloved Flathead Valley. He and his wife led the charge to stop a smelter from polluting Glacier National Park and prevented an effluent-spewing pulp mill from being built upstream from the spectacularly clean Flathead Lake. Of course, his more shortsighted neighbors targeted Kreck, passing around bumper stickers saying "To Heck with Kreck."
Loren was my friend and a true hero, but he was not the only veteran who courageously fought to save the West's wild lands. I also think of David Brower, who was a lieutenant in the Army's 10th Mountain Division, winning the Bronze Star in Italy. He turned the Sierra Club into a national political powerhouse, helped save the Grand Canyon from being flooded by a proposed dam, and won enough other conservation victories to fill books.
Then there's Michael Frome, now 90 and still writing, who was a Navy navigator during the war's Pacific Theater. He went on to become a crusading journalist, educator and lifelong defender of our national parks and wilderness. Bud Moore is another fighter for wild places. He grew up a homesteader's child in western Montana, and as a Marine he led troops in some of the more notorious battles of the South Pacific. At home, he worked for the Forest Service as a voice for wilderness preservation and smarter fire management.
Tom Bell of Lander, Wyo., was a ranch hand who became a gunner on bombing raids over Germany until a chunk of enemy flak tore one eye out. He went on to found the nonprofit Wyoming Outdoor Council and the environmental publication High Country News. Both have become robust Western institutions that are celebrating their 40th birthdays this year. Kurt Vonnegut was a prisoner of war in Dresden, Germany, when the United States firebombed the city. He famously turned that experience into the novel Slaughterhouse-Five, and continued to write passionately (and often hilariously) about environmental themes. He followed Western public-land issues closely well into his elderly years in New York City.
None of these warriors were the least bit warlike after they got home. They didn't parade their valor, but often spoke for peace as fervently as they defended the environment. These veterans shared the sensibilities that helped shape postwar America: They loved America deeply, both the people and the stunning landscape itself; they witnessed ungodly evil and massive destruction by industrial nations run amok; they knew that when Americans worked together toward a common goal, they were a mighty force. Most of all, they had guts and were not afraid of a fight.
In an era when patriotism is sometimes a refuge for blowhards, it's good to remember that the truest patriots are often the quiet ones. Loren Kreck flew an American flag over his property -- in the backyard, where strangers were unlikely to notice it. What mattered to him was that he could see it, flapping over the still-sparkling waters of the Flathead River and waving toward the pristine splendor of the Great Bear Wilderness Area.
Our nation is now saying thanks and goodbye to the Greatest Generation, as their span on Earth draws to a close. May we never see another horror like World War II, but may all Americans continue to learn from the example of these true, land-loving patriots.

Persistence personified can be found in the group of area youth who have pushed for a skateboard park in Lancaster County.
The group, led by Dustin Owens and his skateboard-loving followers, have frequented area government council meetings in the past year, pushing for a skateboard park.
They've been to city and county council meetings in hopes of a solution, but it appears they may have found their future hopes at the Kershaw Town Council.

Neon Flash Bangles
As a general rule, little pops of neon in accessories always beat giant bending swaths around ones derriere (though if I saw the right skirt combo, I might just be persuaded...). With that in mind, and because I'm in a bracelet re-doing mode these days, I decided to reinvent these salvaged plain silver bangles that I've had forever and would most likely never wear again. Until now, anyway. Check 'em out. I wanted the silver to peek through here so I chipped the paint off while it was not entirely dry.
|1. Take a stack of silver bangles and mask the inside so they are easier to handle/paint.
|2. Spray paint with Krylon neon spray paints in yellow, orange, and cerise.
|Summer fun with navy and white stripes!

5/30 Lineup & Ramirez
Aramis Ramirez was in the Cubs lineup Sunday, ready to test some changes made to his bat and to his grip. He's been bothered by a sore left thumb.
Here's the lineup:
RF Fukudome
2B Theriot
1B Lee
3B Ramirez
CF Byrd
LF Soriano
C Soto
SS Castro
P Dempster
— Carrie Muskat
2 Comments
Lou is senile. Since when do you ever put your worst hitters in the 3 & 4 spots of the lineup?
We have a 3rd baseman at AAA batting .424, a third baseman batting over .310 on the roster and what does Lou-seless do? Stick with Ramirez.
Saturday was a great win; we won 2 of 3 against the Dodgers… what was the connection? Ramirez wasn't on the team.
If Lou is too clueless to see the obvious, it is time to get him out – and Hendry too.
Many of us pay a lot of money to follow the Cubs – in my case I flew from UK this weekend to watch this shower… but for the mistakes of Lou and Hendry this team could be topping the NL Central.
I would happily follow the Cubs anywhere, but to be watching the managemenrt bereft of any ideas and ""what do you do…?" Lou" is just painful.
As long as they pick Ramirez we will plummet down the log.
Bring up Tracy and Snyder and send down Ramirez and Baker while this can still be rescued. If the Ricketts family have any balls they need to rid us of the ulcer that is Hendry and Lou now.

Narrative Text
The Bear and Rabbit
Once upon a time, there lived a bear and a rabbit. The rabbit is a good shot. In contrary, the bear is always clumsy and could not use the arrow.
One day, the bear called over the rabbit and asked the rabbit to take his bow and arrows.
The rabbit was fearing to arouse the bear's anger so he could not refuse it. He went with the bear and shot enough buffalo to satisfy the hungry family. Indeed he shot and killed so many that there were lots of meats left after.
However the bear did not want the rabbit to get any of the meat. The rabbit could not even taste the meat. The poor rabbit would have to go home hungry after his hard day's work.
The bear was the father of five children. Fortunately, the youngest child was very kind to the rabbit. He was very hearty eater. The mother bear always gave him an extra large piece of meat but the youngest child did not eat it. He would take it outside with him and pretended to play ball with the meat. He kicked toward the rabbit's house.When he got close to the door he would give the meat with such a great kick. The meat would fly into the rabbit's house. In this way, the poor rabbit would get his meal.

Your calendar is running out of squares: you need a new one. Luckily, Prendas Ciclismo have just been in touch to tell us about their new 2010 calendar, Memoires du Peloton, which looks to be a shoe-in at the top of the cycling buff's Christmas list.
The calendar is a collaboration between the guys at Prendas Ciclismo and acclaimed cycling photographer John Pierce. John's an instutuion at the Tour, having covered 43 Tours de France as a photographer and journalist; his images of the blue riband event of cycling have graced more than 600 magazine covers. Needless to say he's got an extraordinary library of images to choose from – not just of the Tour, but of all the top races – and Andy at Prendas tells us they've really enjoyed to process of putting the calendar together. "If you think the calendar's good", he says, "you should see what we left out!" The photos are a combination of John's personal archive and dhots from his photo library, Photosport International, which represents nearly 30 professional photographers.
The photos themselves go back through more than 40 years of professional cycling history and there's a hatful of iconic riders featured inside. There's a quick rundown of what's inside below, and Prendas have kindly sent us images of the pages - have a look through the gallery, there's some cracking shots. You can pre-order the calendar – it's available from 10 december – at Prendas Ciclismo
Front cover: "Hinault-Sprint" Tour de France. Circuit Zolder, Belgium 1981.
This photo shows Belgian Eddy Planckaert (1st) leading team mate Guido Van Calster (3rd) and World Champion Bernard Hinault (6th) wearing the race leaders' Yellow Jersey. Freddy Maertens was 2nd.
Rear cover: Bernard Hinault, Paris Roubaix Arenberg Forest 1981.
Bernard Hinault the 1980 World Champion had crashed along with others in the Arenberg. He emerged behind the crowd running and carrying his bike cyclo-cross style. This is the shot of him remounting his bike to chase none other than Roger de Vlaeminck.
January: Tom Simpson and Eddy Merckx, Paris Nice 1967, Col d Eze.
An iconic shot at the end of an era, the older Simpson and the younger Merckx - only 21 years of age in this photo. Simpson won the Paris Nice in 1967, alas later that year Simpson was dead.
February: Bernard Hinault, Paris Roubaix 1982.
This shows the outstanding power of Bernard Hinault who has several Paris-Roubaix winners on his wheel. Hennie Kuiper, Johan Vandervelde, Gilbert Duclos- Lassalle, Jan Raas (Winner), Ludo Peeters, Jonathan Boyer and Dirk DeWolf fight to hold the wheel of "Le Blaireau".
March: Roger De Vlaeminck, Paris-Roubaix 1977.
De Vlaeminck rode Paris-Roubaix on 14 occasions, winning four times (1972, 1974, 1975, 1977), finished second four times, third once, fifth once, seventh twice and abandoned only in 1980.
April: Gilbert Duclos- Lassalle, Paris Roubaix 1992.
Here we see Duclos powering to victory at 37 years of age after twice finishing second in the 1980 and 1983 editions of the race. To prove it wasn't a fluke, he won again the following year in 1993.
May: Marco Pantini, Tour de France Col du Galibier 1998.
Here we see Marco Pantani on the Col du Galibier. With the temperature dropping to minus 2°C and snowing, Pantani's lone break would see him take a famous victory and the Yellow Jersey from the shoulders of Jan Ullrich after dropping him for nine minutes. It was the most awful wind and rain, so cold there was a worry about riders not being able to use their brakes on the descents because of cables and fingers being frozen
June: Greg Lemond, Coors Classic 1986.
Lemond actually rode for Celestial Seasonings, using the same La Vie Claire jersey design. His team mate and controversial leader was Bernard Hinault who won overall. Lemond was not very happy about it and it was indeed Hinault's last race win before retiring.
July: Robert Millar and Greg Lemond, Tour de France Col d'Izoard 1989.
In this group Robert Millar leads Greg Lemond, Gert Jan Theunisse (KoM), Raul Alcala, Laurent Fignon, Steven Rooks and two La Vie Claire riders. It was at this stage finish where Fignon 'lost' this Tour de France. Fignon was dropped on a small uphill lane, just meters from the line in Briancon, he was the only rider to lose contact. It cost him12 seconds, but had he not lost time here, he would have done sufficient to win the overall in the final Paris Time Trial, instead of losing the Tour by just 8 secs.
August: Pedro Delgado, Tour de France, Alpe d'Huez 1986
This was Delgado's first year with PDM, I really love that jersey! The photo was taken at Virage 1 on Alpe d'Huez. It's not possible now as barriers are placed in the last 3km. Accredited photographers can still stand in the road inside the barriers, but not at the corner where this was taken. I used some white tissue around the flash to soften the extra light.
September: Luis Ocaña, Tour de France Paris Time Trial 1970.
This picture shows Ocaña in action during the 54km final time trial from Versailles to Paris. The great Eddy Merckx caught Zoetemelk on his way to victory in Paris recording a time of 1-09-39. Ocaña finished second on the day with 1-11-26 and went onto win the Tour in 1973.
October: The Maertens chase group, Paris Roubaix. Hem 2km Arrivee 1978.
This photograph was taken about 2km from the finish. The race winner on this day was Francesco Moser who made a lone break for his first of three consecutive wins in Roubaix. This is the powerful chase group. Multi Road and Cyclo-Cross World Champions and Roubaix winners, Roger De Vlaeminck (back) won the sprint for second beating Jan Raas (middle) and Freddy Maertens (leading).
November: Fabio Parra and Lucho Herrera, Lans-en-Vecors 2km Arrivee Tour de France 1985.
On the 12th stage Morzine to Lans-en-Vercors, Bernard Hinault was alone in the Yellow Jersey as was Ireland's Sean Kelly wearing the Green Points Jersey. Fabio Parra (here on the left) won the 269km stage, assisted by his team-mate Lucho Herrera seen wearing the Mountains Polka dot Jersey.
December: Eddy Merckx, Mur du Grammont and Tour de France 1974.
The photograph on the left shows Merckx climbing the Mur de Grammont at Gerrardsbergen during the 1974 Tour of Flanders. The portrait photograph on the right was taken at the sign-in for the Plymouth stage of the 1974 Tour de France (Plympton
by-pass). Beneath his Molteni track suit, Merckx wears the White Combine Jersey, in later years it became the Best Young Riders Jersey.
Dave is a founding father of road.cc and responsible for kicking the server when it breaks. In a previous life he was a graphic designer but he's also a three-time Mountain Bike Bog Snorkelling world champion, and remains unbeaten through the bog. Dave rides all sorts of bikes but tends to prefer metal ones. He's getting old is why.

Also its based off of goddamn Shakespeare. Of course it was going to end up as a miserable little pile of secrets.
Goddamn Blast of Tempest is good. I feel like an idiot for not starting it sooner. Looked kind of generic so I skipped over it at first, but then there was a drought of titles at the end of the season and I decided to check it out. Wow. It is anything but generic. Still in the middle of the first season but I have no idea how what is going to happen. This show constantly keeps you on your toes.This is probably the best show of last season. I can't believe I almost missed it...Edit: Aaaand, just finished watching the second half of the first season in one sitting. I guess I'm sort of glad I waiting before starting this show, because though it takes a couple eps to get going, once you're into it every single episode ends on a friggin cliffhanger. It's extremely addictive, the kind of show you really do want to watch all at once.But holy crap, the cliffhanger at the end of season 1 means I can't wait for season 2...But seriously, why is it that I haven't heard any buzz about this show? Forget being my favorite show of the season, it might be my favorite show of the year. And yet nobody is talking about it...
It's definitely more "inspired by" than based on, but there are a lot of Shakespeare references.
I should probably give it a try. I read a few chapters of the manga years ago. It's by the author who did "Spiral: the bonds of reasoning" and "record of fallen vampire" so I'm a bit wary of it. Used to be a huge spiral fan but then it got crappy and had an absolutely horrible ending (I have never felt so betrayed).
Quote from: Kevadu on January 04, 2013, 11:30:02 PMIt's definitely more "inspired by" than based on, but there are a lot of Shakespeare references.You know what I meant. >:(Honestly I'd be really surprised if there was a manga or anime adaptation made within the last 5 years that's more based upon rather than "inspired by" like how pretty much every instance of the story Romance of the Three Kingdoms is at best "inspired by" verses actually based upon.
Oh yeah, Mickeymac's question. I don't actually know what you've seen already, but in terms of short-but-good series a couple that come to mind are Kokoro Connect and Another. Kind of on opposite ends of the spectrum, though.
Retailers list Gurren Lagann BD Box with English Subs/Dub in JapanSEVEN HUNDRED TWENTY ONE US DOLLARS! @A@
There's a reason for the saying "It's cheaper to be addicted to crack than to anime.".
While I'm still open to suggestions, I'll probably start Kokoro Connect soon. Another looks a little too gruesome for me.

BC Country will pick you up in the morning, bring you to your destination in urban core of Broome County, and provide a return trip in the afternoon or early evening.

However, if the consumer or agency does not contact us after each warning letter and then they receive a suspension letter, there is a grace period prior to the suspension beginning where the consumer or agency can contact us once again. It is only after every possible step is exhausted that we instill the suspension process. At this point they are given an opportunity to appeal.
