The last time that these two sides met in the FA Cup was 1978. Annie Hall was about to win best picture at the Oscars, Sony had just invented the Walkman and Bolton knocked Spurs out the cup with a 2-1 win. How is it all shaping up this time?
Well, after the success at the Golden Globes, Russell Crowe could well be in line for a second successive gong and given that the Globes are a good indicator of …oh, the FA Cup you say? That, on the other hand, isn't so clear cut.
Although it is true that no side has managed fewer accurate passes than Bolton, they are still carving out chances and are always going to be a threat. Bolton have hit the target with 103 shots in the league so far this season which is two more that Tottenham have managed. For all of Spurs' pass-and-move football they have not been able to create enough clear-cut chances, as last weekend's bore-draw with Everton illustrated.
But as the win over Coventry in the last round of the FA Cup showed, Spurs are capable of playing some brilliant attacking football and they do have the ability to carve teams apart. Darren Anderton has been the architect of much of their good work and only Manchester United's Juan Veron has completed more accurate passes than Anderton.
If Anderton is the key player for Tottenham then there is little doubt that the star turn for the Lancashire side is Kevin Ricketts. The former Walsall striker has scored 12 times this season, but the brilliance is in the detail. A dozen goals is undeniably good but when you consider the he has scored with a massive 23% of his shot.
That return is better than Thierry Henry, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, Kevin Phillips and Alan Shearer amongst others. The calls for Ricketts to get a chance for England are well founded and games like this are the perfect place for him to get even more recognition.
Although Bolton have a reputation as a somewhat physical side, there is evidence to the contrary. Only Middlesborough have gone in for fewer tackles than the Trotters, but they could well have to battle in this game to stay in the cup. Only three sides have made more key passes - passes leading to a clear scoring chance - than Spurs and Glenn Hoddle's side are capable of creating openings on a regular basis.
If you think that Spurs' creativity will be too much for Bolton then surreySPORTS.co.uk are offering 1/2 on them getting through to the next round at the first attempt. In fact conspiracy theorists at White Hart Lane might like to consider the odds of Spurs winning the cup at odds of 10/1. They won it in '62 and then '82 and now 20 years later they are looking like they could well be in with a shot again.

Dean Richards returns to the Tottenham team for the visit of Bolton, so Glenn Hoddle will make one change despite his side's 5-1 thrashing of Chelsea on Wednesday.
The central defender missed the Worthington Cup win as he was cup-tied, but will replace Anthony Gardner, who has an ankle injury.
Les Ferdinand will be given until Saturday morning to shake off a neck problem that saw him miss the Chelsea clash. Long-term injury victims Stephen Carr, Steffen Freund and Christian Ziege are all absent while keeper Kasey Keller is on international duty.
Striker Dean Holdsworth and midfielder Paul Warhurst are both available for Bolton after serving three-match bans - but could both miss out with thigh and calf injuries respectively.
Left-back Simon Charlton is also doubtful with a calf strain and could be replaced by Mike Whitlow and Colin Hendry and Per Frandsen have already been ruled out.
Bo Hansen, who scored against Middlesbrough last week, could come into the starting line-up while German international Fredi Bobic looks for his first goal in English football.

NEW BRITAIN, Conn. — A promising start turned sour for the Portland Sea Dogs and shook the very foundation of Red Sox Nation.
Sea Dogs center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr., Boston's top choice in the 2011 draft, went down with an ankle injury in the top of the first inning of the game against New Britain Monday night and limped off
the field.
Bradley, a 5-foot-10, 180-pounder, smacked a leadoff single and thought about heading to third on a single by Jeremy Hazelbaker. When he stopped suddenly, he fell and scrambled safely back to second, but did not get up immediately.
"He just slipped. I think he was more scared than anything else," Sea Dogs Manager Kevin Boles said. "He's going to be fine. It just caught him off guard. The track was definitely pretty wet."
Bradley's condition was evaluated by Sea Dogs trainer Brandon Henry.
"He was able to put weight on it," Boles said. "We'll check him out tomorrow to see how he is but he should be back sooner than later."
The grounds crew spent the next 22 minutes spreading an absorbent over the entire infield although it hasn't rained here in days. The Sea Dogs won the game, 4-3 in 10 innings.

The Opening of Waterloo Bridge was supposed to be reunited with its full-scale preliminary sketch as part of 'Constable: the Great Landscapes', opening at Tate Britain on Thursday.
But shortly before the exhibition was due to open, technical experts discovered the sketch was more likely to be the beginnings of a separate work that was never finished.
Technical analysis of the painting's priming layer at its permanent home of Anglesey Abbey revealed Constable's use of a paint that he stopped using in the early 1820s - a decade before The Opening of Waterloo Bridge was known to have been produced.
'Constable: the Great Landscapes' offers the public the first opportunity to view Constable's 'six-footer' exhibition canvases in one place. These include the famous set of views of the River Stour, exemplified by 1821's The Hay Wain, alongside later works such as 1829's Hadleigh Castle and 1831's Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows.

Have we really sunk that far, America? Have we really become so weak minded that a grown woman can't deal with an anonymous communication from a complete stranger by simply, someone stop me if I'm making crazy talk here, deleting the e-mail and forgetting about it?
Okay. Fine. I'm accepting. I am going to be completely accepting of this....and vote for Hitler's Brain in the Body of a Great White Shark in November.

Don't forget we live in Americuh, where if you eat like **** your whole life and get Type II diabetes, you can just turn it into your next career opportunity, peddling pharmaceuticals and more food.
Remember how people came out of the woodwork to defend Paula Deen's terrible, blood sugar saturating diets after her condition was announced?
Step 1: Eat like **** your whole life
Step 2: Get Fat
Step 3: ...
Step 4: PROFIT!!
"I was determined to share my positive approach and not let diabetes stand in the way of enjoying my life," - Paula Deen
I've seen too many people stuck to dialysis machines who didn't eat like **** to ever sympathize with these kinds of people.

This president has done nothing but spend money ever since he got in office. It has to stop, even if it means impeachment for him.
I voted for him, and now I'm sorry I did. I was hoping he would be a good president and do good things, but no. He doesn't know how to do anything but spend money and make people lose homes, businesses and everything they hold dear to them.
I wish I could fly all over the U.S. on someone else's money. I sure do wish I could spend, spend, spend like our president.

Kingwood mother prepares for double arm transplant
Updated 10:04 pm, Monday, May 28, 2012
Katy Hayes has no illusions about the countless risks she faces as the first person in the U.S. to have someone else's arms and hands transplanted onto her body.
After all, the 43-year-old Kingwood mother of three has already experienced losing every one of her own limbs.
A flesh-eating infection invaded her body shortly after the birth of her last child two years ago, forcing doctors to amputate her arms and legs above the knees and elbows, leaving behind only small stubs.
Katy's eyes glistened and her voice cracked recently as she recalled being quizzed by a medical team at Brigham and Women's Hospital, a Harvard University teaching affiliate in Boston, about what motivated her quest for transplants.
"I want my life back," she answered without hesitation. "I want to hold my last child before she's grown - and she's already 2. If anybody tells me 'no,' I'll just go to the next hospital. 'No' is not an option."
Her husband, Al Hayes, who plays in a rock band and teaches music, supports her decision: "Death is not the worst thing that can happen here. What about having to resign herself to the life she has now? It's our job to keep moving forward."

Fighting spirit
Katy continues to surprise her doctors with her fighting spirit. They never expected her to survive that flesh-eating infection. Her caretakers were stunned when she awoke after being comatose for a month to discover she was now a quad amputee.
"I have no regrets. I'm glad to be alive," she said, though she admits to indulging in an occasional pity party. "I'm only human. But I passed Brigham's psychological exam. I don't have prolonged dark days."
She's also had to undergo a battery of physical exams to assure she's in good health before she's placed on the donor list possibly as early as next month. At this point, she still has a few issues to clear up such as repairing some teeth and removing anything that might cause kidney stones, said Dr. Simon Talbot, who heads the transplant team at Brigham and Women's Hospital.
While using another person's hands and arms seems like pure science fiction, Katy points out that a farmer had both his arms successfully replaced in Germany four years ago. Karl Merk lost his arms above the elbow in a combine harvesting accident and received new ones from a teenager who died in a car accident.
Trickier surgery
Dr. W.P. Andrew Lee, chairman of the plastic and reconstructive surgery department at Johns Hopkins University, said attaching full arms can be much trickier than the more common hand transplants below the elbow. That's because new nerves - which use the arm's old nerves as conduits or channels - must grow a longer distance to reach the hand.
Lee led the first doctor team in the U.S. that attached one full arm to a patient, Chris Pollock. Katy will become the first patient to have two full arm transplants. At the same time, nearly 50 single and double hand transplants have been performed worldwide, research shows.
"The nerve in the arm will grow only about an inch a month. It can take a year or two to reach the hand. Functional recovery is less predictable," Lee said, noting Pollock can now grasp things.
A team of some 40 medical personnel will be required to connect Katy's new arms in a surgical procedure expected to take at least 15 hours. Doctors must first meticulously attach the bone with metal plates, and then with the help of microscopes suture the arteries, veins, tendons and nerves.
What emboldens Katy, as she pushes forward with this historic surgery, is watching Internet videos of the German farmer. She's amazed to see him scratch his head, shake hands, lift weights and ride a bike.
But Katy, who used to own a spa where she enjoyed giving massages, also knows the surgical procedure is experimental and dangerous. A 27-year-old man, who was also a quad amputee, died this year after having a double-arm transplant in Turkey.
"I'll be their guinea pig," Katy acknowledged. "But I'll also be that pioneer in a new world who can one day talk to others about having transplants."
She and her husband think about others who could benefit from transplanted limbs, such as injured soldiers, diabetics and children with birth defects.
"We're told that 18 people have amputations every day," said her husband, Al.
Lengthy process
Doctors cannot guarantee how much Katy will be able to move or feel with her new arms.
"It's supposed to take three months healing and therapy before I can move the elbow," she said. Her arms will be supported by harness-like slings until the tissue heals.
While she doesn't expect to perform fine motor skills like buttoning a blouse, she does hope to do basic things like grab a cup, brush her teeth, hold a pen and hug someone. She also laughs about having a complete new set of fingerprints to identify herself.
But before undertaking this surgery, doctors had to be reassured that she wouldn't feel like some kind of Frankenstein monster using a stranger's limbs.
"I told them that the new arms look like freedom to me. I see them as gifts," she said.
The hospital is donating its medical services for Katy. But the Hayes family is holding fundraisers to help cover their living expenses in Boston and allow her husband to assist her recovery after surgery.
When it's all over, despite her challenging disabilities, Katy believes she will have given her three children a gift that not everyone can.
"When you're up against an obstacle, you can still get through it," she said.

Police officers in New Mexico can take guns away from drivers who pose no threat. The state supreme court ruled on May 20 that "officer safety" is more important than any constitutional rights a gun-owning motorist might have. The ruling was handed down in deciding the fate of Gregory Ketelson who was a passenger in a vehicle pulled over on November 13, 2008.
During the stop, Hobbs Police Officer Miroslava Bleau saw a 9mm handgun on the back seat floorboard. Ketelson and the driver of the car were ordered out and away from the car while Officer Shane Blevins grabbed the gun. The officers later learned that Ketelson, as a convicted felon, could not legally possess a firearm. The court, however, only considered whether the officers acted properly in taking the gun before they had any reason to suspect Ketelson, who was entirely cooperative during the encounter, of committing a crime.
This is the same shit logic that's been used in Philadelphia where citizens legally carrying firearms have been harassed by police (and now hit with BS charges for showing up the cops on their legal ignorance).
The Court has demonstrated a stunning misunderstanding of the very basis of Constitutional liberties. Our rights are fundamental, not conditional. Our right to bear arms can only be taken away under certain circumstances, such as being a convicted criminal. There can not be an a priori assumption the police can violate our rights any time they think there might be trouble. You open that door and the entire law enforcement establishment will thunder through it.
The state argued that anyone with a gun should be considered "armed and dangerous". This is an absurd statement. There are tens of millions of guns in this country and only a tiny tiny fraction are ever used to commit a crime (less than 1 in 10,000 to commit a murder). A car is more dangerous in the hands of a citizen than a gun.
I'm getting very worried about our civil liberties. A few weeks ago, Indiana decided that it was illegal to resist a warrantless search. Then SCOTUS ruled 8-1 that officers hearing the sounds of (maybe) illegal materials being destroyed justified a warrantless search. The PATRIOT Act was reauthorized with no protections for civil liberties, despite the valiant attempts of Rand Paul.
The problem is that we've had three Presidents in a row — Clinton, Bush and Obama — who have nominated judges that defer to government authority. It's been a slow path but we've finally reached the destination: a judiciary that never wants to rock the boat, that errs on the side of authority and against liberty, that sees fundamental civil liberties as almost quaint. And given the rhetoric out there and the bizarre passion of politicians to look "though on crime/drugs/terrorism" in their judicial appointments, I see little hope of reversing this trend.
Hold on your butts (and guns). We're in for a bumpy ride.

The Victoria Rebels are a Canadian football team that was founded in 1985, and is coached by Scott Mennie. They are part of a league called the BC football conference, and is part of the Canadian Junior football league. They now go by the name, "the West Shore Rebels".
There are many similarities between American Football and Canadian Football. They are both high speed, high action, and both attract a huge fan base. Some of the differences may seem arbitrary, but do impact the philosophies utilized by the coaches, and the strategies of which to defend.
This video helps illustrate many of these differences:

Home to powdery white cays, year-round good weather and the clearest, bluest water in the world, this archipelago of 700 islands is what you might call a little slice of paradise. But there's a lot more to the Bahamas than millionaire-dollar views and diamond-studded millionaires. Dive a little deeper (or sail a little further) and you'll discover virgin reefs, historic shipwrecks, pink sand beaches and mangroves flush with exotic birdlife, not to mention some of the most gregarious and welcoming locals you'll ever meet.

Fabulous, once in a lifetime trip! The Bahamas was one of the most beautiful locations I have ever been to, the weather was incredible and sailing enabled us to see The Bahamas in a really special way - getting into remote spots, breathtaking snorkeling everyday and some truly unique opportunities to interact with the natural world! Skipper Judy is a complete star - she looked after a very international group with relaxed confidence and charm that engaged the group and inspired trust. In particular, she helped me (a novice snorkeler) gain confidence in the water and so enabled me to have one the of the most spectacular experiences of my life! Adriann (our cook) added even more warmth and personality by not only conjuring up delicious food and drinks every day (incredible!) but by also spending time to get to know everyone and look after them on an individual basis. Between them, they created a fun, friendly and incredibly comfortable environment and made the trip for me. I really can't recommend this trip enough!

If you love being on the water and seeing lots of sea life then this trip is for you. As a group everyone got along and we all talked about how great it was to get to know Judy and Adrian.

Its time to NOMINATE for the 2018 Xixax Awards!

I feel like this movie raises an interesting question about the extent to which context matters when it comes to the quality of a film. To me, it's a MIRACLE given the modern studio system (if this does well and the general public demonstrates a taste for it, some real interesting films could get made), but agree that it's not perfect. Most movies of this scale don't even seem to try to try for perfect. And you never know what might have been studio mandated. The runtime almost definitely given that most people won't leave the house for anything less than two hours. The same thing seems to be happening with The Florida Project, with people online getting pretty nit-picky. These are good films! Real deal adventurous, interesting films!
Yes, but it is being spoiled to still be picky when a movie is worth discussion? I did think about it. It's true that most movies on this scale aren't even trying. That said, even if I, personally, think the movie is messy, the mere fact that I am writing a lot about it here is a sign that they have done something.
But it is way too self-conscious and its originality becomes a gimmick. Let me explain. The movie isn't as fast paced as almost all the big Hollywood movies. At the contrary, it takes its time. But every scene takes its time even when it is absolutely not necessary. There are a lot of shots of Gosling slowly walking in great sets. Do great sets make a great movie? Some shots seem to be motivated by how great the set is. There is no reason for this movie to be that long.
probably would have been even better with less dialogue- in fact, less dialogue, fewer scenes and overall greater abstraction could have made this really, really special

File under: Music
Saw the Monday Night Band (beats the hell out of Monday Night Football) at the Odeon tonight: Go Van Gough. They're a 5 piece featuring bass, drum kit, percussionist, woodwind (alto and tenor(?) sax) and some sort of bizarre electronic slide guitar ...playing a strange jazzed version of middle eastern music that was too much fun for the paltry audience. Later I met my friend Robin and we went off to the Voodoo Lounge and then hit a couple of places in Chinatown (Li Po and Buddha Bar). Like you care.
Hmm.. re: "bizarre electronic slide guitar" It might be the dobro. (My dad plays one.) RE: the 'Like you care.' comment at the end: can't speak for anyone else, but hell ya, I care! I love reading about your daily life; how else am -I- supposed to cyberstalk -you-? ;)Posted by: Laura on September 18, 2002 01:56 PM
Hmm, I found some dobro photos on images.google.com ant I think that's too big to be the same thing. As for cyberstalking, you could hack into my machine and install some montoring devices like I did to your machine. It's great, let's me read all the mail and even turn on the microphone.Posted by: Dav on September 18, 2002 07:52 PM
Hmm, I wondered why my computer is running slow. Well, I don't care if you listen on the microphone - Just as long as you don't hack the webcam. I only entertain Eric on that!!Posted by: Laura on September 19, 2002 06:50 AM
wow i think this is such a wonderfull site i love it so much it makes me cream my jeans everytime i think and see this site especially because its about "VAN GOUGH" i have never thought that one man would be such and ensperation to me, i look up to that man for all he has done for the love of his art. thank you for listening to what i have to say because van would love that alot.Posted by: jennifer on December 3, 2002 01:53 PM
Wow, I agree with Jennifer, see i am an up and coming artist, and Van Gogh has really inspired me and even changed my life. It has made me really sit down and think about what i want in life. It has even made my sex life better, believe it or not. Every time i think of him i get all wet, and he really did a lot for his art, and became something. Well, thanks for listening to all i have to say, I hope everybody appreciates Vincent Van Gogh as much as i do!! And Gogh Baby...if you're reading this, I hope you realize how much i love youPosted by: Hinsonator on December 3, 2002 02:15 PM

van gogh led a very tragic life yet all his feelings and emotions went in to his works of art.this is one of the reasons i admire him.he inspires me to go for my goals in life. xPosted by: pauline hendry on March 25, 2003 06:49 AM
i think that Van Gough is prety good for what i have seen of his work. Van Gough has inspires me woke harder in lifePosted by: kirsten on May 7, 2003 12:26 AM
Well now, Anne Herbert is down with the band and she's thinking that expecting to be entertained leads to boredome and sloth, whilst entertaining your own (misbegotten) self leads to amazing grace when running for the bus (and other benefits) so I'd like to stand at the bus stop with Go Van Gough and hand out kazoos to the public transit populace and hum in resplendant 36 part harmony til we all have to go running after that pesky got-a-schedule-to-adhere-to bus, and give that driver a root tah tootin live concert he won't soon forget.Posted by: busmun on November 30, 2003 11:54 AM
Hey, i was actually doing a Van Gough thing for school and I came across this website by accident. I agree with Jenifer, apart from the "cream my jeans" bit, and Van Gough is a total inspiration to people, esp. me. :-)

The more I ponder the problem of anonymous AcksTo, the more I think that anonymous can't quite be treated as just another EPR address. I'm posting this here because I think the situation is not unique to AcksTo or WS-RX. Rather, WS-RX happens to have presented the use case that flushes the issue out. Also, while I may have got the WS-RX use case wrong here, I believe the overall point is still of interest to WSA. Finally, there are clearly enough WS-RX folks in the audience here that if this is in fact relevant to WS-RX, I'm sure the news will find its way there. Here's the scenario: Suppose that A and B both want to use a reliable sequence to send messages to C. Each uses its own sequence. As I understand it, this is the normal case (as opposed to, say, A and B sharing the same sequence). Now further suppose that A and B both use anonymous for AcksTo. Given that acks for a given message could come back with a later message, the following could happen: * A sends C message A1 * C sends back a response with no acks * B sends C message B1 * C sends back a response with an ack to message A1 For that matter, if C isn't careful, it could send acks to some completely unrelated process that happened to be sending to it without even using WS-RX. So, in order for this to work, C has to be careful only to use anonymous AcksTo for replies to request messages that are part of the same sequence (by the way, how does C ack the last message of such a sequence if it doesn't know it's the last?). By contrast, it doesn't seem C would have to be so careful in the case where the AcksTo EPRs are not anonymous. Normally (and again I'm not a WS-RXpert) I would expect that A and B would use separate AcksTo addresses, and C would just send acks to the addresses it was told to use. Even if A and B used the same AcksTo address and used the sequence number on the acks to sort out whose acks they were, they could do so without any help from C because the acks would at least always end up at the same destination. Another way to look at this is that using the same AcksTo for two different sequences ties the two sequences together and whoever's getting the acks has to know about both sequences. This would apply equally to anonymous and non-anonymous. I believe this handles most of the problem, but not all. First, this would require every sender that wants to use anonymous AcksTo with a given destination to know about every other one. Second, by itself it doesn't deal with senders that aren't even using WS-RX. I'm not sure the second problem is serious, but the first one seems like it might be. It also seems worth considering the case where A uses anonymous and B doesn't. If B is expecting acks at non-anonymous D, then it wouldn't normally be checking for acks in its responses, and neither could it be expected to know what to do with A's acks if it did notice them. C can send B's acks freely to D, but it has to be careful to send A's acks back only on responses to messages from A. Even if there turn out to be no serious issues here for WS-RX, it seems worth noting that trying to extend anonymous beyond the context of a single request-response message exchange effectively ties together all senders to a given destination into one virtual receiver for messages to anonymous. That is, a message sent to anonymous in such a scenario could arrive back at /any/ sender.Received on Tuesday, 21 February 2006 07:15:24 UTC

In his article Your Sales Emails Suck, Kyle Porter introduces four effective sales email rules. These are written in the way to discover what you might've done wrong. They include that your pitch was way too long, it was completely non-personalized, it was all about you, or it includes an unsubscribe. Which rules are making your emails 'suck'?
Some points to remember:
"If you need more than 6 sentences to get your point across, you need to rethink it...Simple is hard, so work at it and remember saving your prospect time will allow them to focus their attention on your message."
"If it's applicable to 100 million people, I'm not going to care about it at all."
"you want ME to get excited. You want ME to give you my attention. You want ME to read what you wrote...and you want ME to take a meeting with you. So why did you talk about YOU the whole time!?"
"If there is an unsubscribe, then someone from the marketing machine sent it in mass...If it has an unsubscribe, then you aren't taking the time to send this email yourself. Why would I ever give my time back?"
Remember the four rules to sending crappy emails:
- Have a long pitch
- Don't personalize it
- Talk only about you
- Let them unsubscribe
To send good emails, emails that show you put yourself in the buyer's shoes, switch them around:
- Get your point across in one sentence.
- Personalize it, show you actually care.
- Talk about them.
- When they can unsubscribe, it shows the email was sent to the masses. Show them how unique they are to you as a customer by sending it yourself.
1. Is There a Sales Enablement Bubble and Will it Burst?
In Nancy Nardin's article, Nancy introduces a 'hype'. She says, "The hype machine is how we call attention to our products and services, make buyers excited, and get buyers to take notice...solution providers as a group downlay or ignore a couple of very key factors that underlie the hype." What are Nancy's factors?
- Buyers aren't as agile as you think.
- Buyers don't care as much as you think they do (or should).
- Buyers don't share your perspective.
Important points to know:
"It's the salesperson that can build relationships, navigate the organizational structure and build a coalition of internal supporters. You'll never be able to sell your solutions with the brute force of your marketing initiatives."
"Buyers aren't just comparing your solution to similar products. They're comparing your solution to completely different solutions that solve completely different problems."
"...turning up the volume won't direct the Buyer's attention away from that which is on fire. It may put you on their radar, but your solution won't be a priority until there is nothing more important for the Buyer to do than to buy your product."
What to take away:
- Marketing throughout the funnel can ensure that more leads result in deals. Sales needs more of marketing help during the sales process itself.
- ...we do need to do a better job looking at things from the Buyer's perspective in order to grow the market to the size we envision.
2. Social Selling Is More Hype Than Reality: Here's Why
We've heard a lot recently on the importance of social selling and its effectiveness. Is that true to reality? Could Mark Roberge be right in his article? Decide for yourself. Here's what Mark says:
"Social selling was named a priority for only 8% of our survey respondents. Clearly, there's a mismatch between what social selling influencers are recommending and what's actually happening in real sales teams."
Mark writes that because of this data, many people might dismiss social selling. Butt that would be the worst thing to do. Why? I thought his article was about the unimportance of social selling? Apparently not. We have the data, but this is reality: "Social selling is an incredibly valuable practice. The low prioritization among sales teams doesn't speak to a problem with the value of social selling (or lack thereof) -- it speaks to a problem with salespeople's perception and use of social media."
This is my favorites part of his article, read it well-it's really good.
"To me, social selling usage today is a classic example of sales reps trying to use new technology to execute outdated processes. Salespeople too often treat social platforms such as LinkedIn or Twitter as additional channels on which to spam prospects. Instead of cold calling 30 prosepcts, they'll send 30 direct messages on LinkedIn and call it "social selling." But modern buyers don't respond to this type of outreach--regardless of what platform the rep uses to get in touch."
What should you use social media for? Instead of what is described above, use social media to boost your personal brand and to gain context around the people and accounts you're trying to engage.
"It's not time to label social selling a fad--it's time to start incorporating social selling into sales the right way."
3. What Most Sales People Do In The Demo That Loses The Deal
In Keenan's article, the sales guy starts with saying that the demo is EVERYTHING. Do you agree? He writes, "AFs the demo goes, so goes the sale."
Keenan says that this is the key to a good demo, one that actually works: "...every feature you show must be tied to a specific business goal, operational process, work-flow, execution issue or opportunity that speicific customer has-PERIOD!"
What he's saying is that during a demo you can't say, "If this happens, here's this feature." Instead, he's saying "Demos should not be used to demonstrate your product, but rather to show how your product can affect your buyer's business."
What a demo should NOT be:
- to highlight products
- not interactive
- too generalized
- full of "if..then" statements
4. How to Persuade Others with the Right Questions
In Daniel Pink's video, Pink teaches us about motivational interviewing:
- Ask two irrational questions. example: How ready are you, on a scale 1 to 10? and Why weren't you a lower number?
- With these questions, people articulate their own reasons for doing something.
Watch the video, Pink's example is very interesting and helps put the ideas into context.

This past week I presented at a technology conference and it was AMAZING! I love attending all the sessions and learning from other educators. I was lucky enough to be able to present at the conference as well. My favorite type of session to present at is when the attendees talk to me and it's totally casual.
I was asked the BEST questions and one of them I just had to share on the blog with my readers!
My topic was on data collection but like all good professional conversations, we dig into instructional challenges in the classroom.
The question was "How would you use Google Slides to create interactive vocabulary lessons?"
Truth- I would have answered that I would have saved a template of the Frayer Model as a .jpg file and inserted it as a background image in Google Slides. (shown below)
Then I would have created 4 text boxes inside each of the images for students to answer the questions.
However that was before I got all the techy-goodness of the conference! I was thinking about different apps to use to get kids more engaged in the vocabulary lessons all the way home. teaching vocabulary
Here's what I was thinking- This is an example of an adapted Frayer Model to integrate technology. My 6 year old daughter made this as an example of how user friendly these apps are!
But what I love about it is that even though my 6 year old made it, it is completely appropriate to use this same strategy at the high school level. Maybe if I had videos I would have understood chemistry vocab a little better…. (but probably not! ha!)
She used Rhonna Designs app to add the text and then to embed the video she used PicPlayPost.
Here is the outline that you are welcome to share with students! With this app smash, I used Word Swag for the text and Adobe Spark Post for the video! We put it all together with Pic Play Post app.
What would it look like in a classroom? I'm thinking this would be a great think-pair-share activity! If you have 20 kids in your class and 15 vocabulary words, break the 20 kids up into groups and have them make just a few of the vocabulary word app smashes (I think I just made that term up!) Share them with parents on the SeeSaw app or have a share session where the kids explain why they chose or created each particular video. How fun would that be???
What are your favorite apps to smash? Tell me in the comments! I LOVE to learn what other people are using!
I hope you love this quick tip on how to turn a traditional paper-pencil lesson, based on solid pedagogy, into a fully interactive digital lesson.
For more ideas on how to transform your instruction using engaging technologies like this, check out this full course!
The price will double SOON when all the content has been uploaded so be sure to grab it NOW!
I'm often asked if I do on-site trainings and the answer is YES! Contact me for more information!

Kuranyi keeps an open mind
Kevin Kuranyi is not ruling out staying with Schalke amid reports he has been offered a contract by Juventus.
By Thomas Zocher
Last Updated: 07/04/10 6:16pm
Kevin Kuranyi is not ruling out staying with Schalke next season amid reports he has been offered a contract by Juventus.
The striker's current deal expires in the summer and he has several clubs on his trail from across the continent, with Sunderland among those to have expressed an interest.
The latest reports have claimed that Juventus have offered Kuranyi a four-year contract to move to Serie A at the end of the season.
However, following Schalke's defeat by title rivals Bayern Munich last weekend, the former Stuttgart star feels it is the wrong time to discuss his future.
He is leaving any initial negotiations in the hands of his representatives and is not shutting the door on staying with Schalke.
Wrong moment
"My agents are working on things," Kuranyi told kicker-Sportmagazin.
"But there is nothing decided just yet, everything remains possible.
"Currently, it would be the wrong moment to think about offers, we have just lost an important Bundesliga match.
"If the package is right, I can imagine staying at Schalke. Still, there have been no negotiations between me and Schalke."

Judge: CLEMENT First Paragraph: This workers' compensation appeal has been referred to the Special Workers' Compensation Appeals Panel in accordance with Tenn. Code Ann. S 50-6-225(e)(3) for hearing and reporting findings of fact and conclusions of law. The issues presented pertain to a 71 year old employee of Sak's Incorporated who sustained two separate injuries. The employee and Sak's settled the first case, involving injuries to the left shoulder, for the maximum benefits stating in the settlement that the employee was "100% permanently partially disabled." The matter on appeal involves an injury to the back that occurred within one month of the prior injury. The trial court found the employee permanently and totally disabled from her back injury and awarded her the maximum benefits. Moreover, the trial court construed the prior order as a finding of 100% permanent total disability to the body as a whole and held the appellant, Second Injury Fund of the Department of Labor, liable for the entire award for the back injury. For reasons stated herein, the panel affirms the judgment of the trial court as modified. http://www.tba.org/tba_files/TSC_WCP/bolingjuanita.wpd

THE woman who Mike Hancock pursued an 'inappropriate friendship' with has attacked senior members of government for not backing her from the beginning.
David Cameron and Theresa May came out in support of the vulnerable female constituent last week after Mr Hancock, the Portsmouth South MP, apologised for his actions against her.
But the woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has letters from government dating from 2011 that dismiss her claims into Mr Hancock's behaviour and advise her to find support elsewhere.
Home secretary Ms May's office told her there was nothing she could do and said to pass on the concerns to the Liberal Democrat party – which Mr Hancock was an member of until his suspension earlier this year.
His victim – who has mental health problems – says she did not get a reply to letters of help she sent the Prime Minister and Labour national leader Ed Miliband.
She said: 'It angers me. It's disgusting that no-one listened to me all those years ago.
'It's a bit too late for them to jump on the bandwagon as I have been tormented for all of these years.
'I'm angry that some never even bothered to reply to me.
'The system of dealing with people with mental health problems needs changing. It's terrible.'
The Office of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards also said in 2011 it was 'beyond the commissioner's remit' to investigate an individual case against an MP.
The woman even wrote to the Queen after the police dropped their investigation into Mr Hancock's behaviour in 2010, but was advised by Her Majesty's office to take up her complaint with the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
Meanwhile, Lib Dem leader Gerald Vernon-Jackson has admitted he thought text messages which Mr Hancock had sent the woman in the past were 'unprofessional'.
But Cllr Vernon-Jackson, who was council leader when the woman's claims came to light, said he stood by Mr Hancock given that he vigorously denied any wrongdoing.
He now admits he was wrong to stand by the MP following the apology he gave through the High Court.
As previously reported, the MP was suspended from the party after a report into his conduct by QC Nigel Pascoe was leaked.
An internal investigation is being held to determine whether his membership will be stripped completely.
Home Office admitted 'it couldn't be of assistance'
HOME Secretary Theresa May last week criticised MP Mike Hancock for his behaviour towards his victim.
She told The News during a visit to Portsmouth: 'It's a terrible case.
'What I want to see is people of Portsmouth represented by a good hard-working MP – Flick Drummond.'
But the letter from the Home Office on behalf of Mrs May to the constituent in 2011 took a different view.
It came after Hampshire Constabulary dropped its investigation into Mr Hancock, who is still being treated for ill health at The Priory Hospital in Southampton.
The letter said: 'It is the responsibility of the police to decide whether there are sufficient grounds to launch a criminal investigation, and that of the Crown Prosecution Service to decide whether to prosecute those alleged to be responsible.
It adds: 'You may wish to write to the Liberal Democrats to outline your concerns.
'I regret I am unable to be of further assistance.'
The victim's letter from a representative for the Queen said: 'The Queen's position as constitutional Sovereign precludes her from intervening in matters such as this.
'I'm sorry to send you a disappointing reply.'
The woman said she intends to become an ambassador for vulnerable people in order to help them get through their difficulties.

The ABAC students gave a presentation on how to deal with conflict in business, titled "Golden." Out of the 15 national level presentations that were presented, the ABAC chapter was named the national winner in the division of presentation. The presentation was written by Harper and then revised by the whole team. The students have been practicing the 15-minute presentation that included props and visual aids since February.
Three of ABAC's ABG students were also elected to hold positions on the five-seat National Executive Board. Partridge was elected as National President, Leu was elected as National Marketing Director, and Harper was elected as National Secretary of the organization.
Kathy Moreno and Elisabeth O'Quinn, advisors to the ABAC chapter, received the highest honors in the adult presentation division. Moreno is an assistant professor of business at ABAC, and O'Quinn is the business apprentice in the Stafford School of Business.
ABAC students majoring in business who are interested in the Alpha Beta Gamma business honors society can contact the Stafford School of Business at (229) 391-4830.

New ash tree disease cases found
A disease threatening to devastate the UK's ash trees has now been found in woodlands in 10 English counties - as experts warn little can be done to stop its spread.
Cases of Chalara ash dieback have been confirmed in woodlands in six more counties - Sussex, Berkshire, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, Bedfordshire and Northumberland - in addition to Norfolk, Suffolk, Kent and Essex where it had already been identified in the countryside.
The latest figures show the disease, caused by the fungus Chalara fraxinea, has been found in 61 locations in the wider countryside, as well as 39 planting sites and 15 tree nurseries, a total of 115 sites across the UK.
Some of the sites had hundreds of infected ash trees, while in others, just a handful were found.
The Chalara fraxinea fungus, which causes leaf loss and crown dieback and can lead to tree death, has wiped out 90% of ash trees in some parts of Denmark and is becoming widespread throughout central Europe.
There are fears that the UK's ash trees are facing a similar fate to its elms, which were destroyed by Dutch elm disease in the 1970s.
The results of the survey by hundreds of officials in the past week were revealed as Environment Secretary Owen Paterson held a summit with representatives of industry, conservation groups and experts to discuss the problem.
An action plan to deal with the disease is due to be published on Friday following another meeting of the Government's emergency committee on the issue.
After the summit, Mr Paterson said: "We called this summit to bring together the best ideas from experts and all who care for our forests so we can urgently prepare an action plan on how to tackle Chalara and better protect our trees for the future.
"Many of the ideas discussed today are extremely interesting, and our scientists and plant health experts will examine them urgently and include the most effective ones in an action plan by the end of the week."

Heart-throb actor Gyllenhaal in Broadway comeback
Brokeback Mountain star Jake Gyllenhaal is to return to the Broadway stage.
The 35-year-old actor will take a lead role in Lanford Wilson's Burn This.
The play is set i n New York in the 1980s and deals with themes of gay identity and relationships in the wake of a tragedy.
American Gyllenhaal is best known for blockbuster movies Donnie Darko in 2001 and Brokeback Mountain in 2006. He made his Broadway debut in Constellations in 2015.
Michael Mayer will direct the play's Broadway revival, which also marks the official re-opening of New York's Hudson Theatre.
Mayer said: "I am honoured to bring Lanford Wilson's gorgeous and timeless play back to Broadway in a new production starring Jake Gyllenhaal, whose stage work has been exhilarating and who is a dream choice for this role.
"What a joy to reopen the historic Hudson Theatre. In the midst of an exquisite restoration, the intimate playhouse is the perfect home for this modern American classic."
Burn This premiered 30 years ago and will return to the stage from February 2017, with opening night set for March 6 2017.
The 1987 production of Burn This starred Joan Allen and John Malkovich, transferring to Broadway after a successful run.
An off-Broadway revival in 2002 featured actors including Edward Norton and Ty Burrell.

An algorithm is a specific set of clearly defined instructions aimed to carry out a task or process.
Algorithmic trading (automated trading, black-box trading, or simply algo-trading) is the process of using computers programmed to follow a defined set of instructions for placing a trade in order to generate profits at a speed and frequency that is impossible for a human trader. The defined sets of rules are based on timing, price, quantity or any mathematical model. Apart from profit opportunities for the trader, algo-trading makes markets more liquid and makes trading more systematic by ruling out emotional human impacts on trading activities. (For more, check out Picking the Right Algorithmic Trading Software.)
Suppose a trader follows these simple trade criteria:
- Buy 50 shares of a stock when its 50-day moving average goes above the 200-day moving average
- Sell shares of the stock when its 50-day moving average goes below the 200-day moving average
Using this set of two simple instructions, it is easy to write a computer program which will automatically monitor the stock price (and the moving average indicators) and place the buy and sell orders when the defined conditions are met. The trader no longer needs to keep a watch for live prices and graphs, or put in the orders manually. The algorithmic trading system automatically does it for him, by correctly identifying the trading opportunity. (For more on moving averages, see Simple Moving Averages Make Trends Stand Out.)
[ If you want to learn more about proven and to the point strategies that can eventually be worked into an alorithmic trading system, check out Investopedia Academy's Become a Day Trader course. ]
Benefits of Algorithmic Trading
Algo-trading provides the following benefits:
- Trades executed at the best possible prices
- Instant and accurate trade order placement (thereby high chances of execution at desired levels)
- Trades timed correctly and instantly, to avoid significant price changes
- Reduced transaction costs (see the implementation shortfall example below)
- Simultaneous automated checks on multiple market conditions
- Reduced risk of manual errors in placing the trades
- Backtest the algorithm, based on available historical and real time data
- Reduced possibility of mistakes by human traders based on emotional and psychological factors
The greatest portion of present day algo-trading is high frequency trading (HFT), which attempts to capitalize on placing a large number of orders at very fast speeds across multiple markets and multiple decision parameters, based on pre-programmed instructions. (For more on high frequency trading, see Strategies and Secrets of High Frequency Trading (HFT) Firms.)
Algo-trading is used in many forms of trading and investment activities, including:
- Mid to long term investors or buy side firms (pension funds, mutual funds, insurance companies) who purchase in stocks in large quantities but do not want to influence stocks prices with discrete, large-volume investments.
- Short term traders and sell side participants (market makers, speculators, and arbitrageurs) benefit from automated trade execution; in addition, algo-trading aids in creating sufficient liquidity for sellers in the market.
- Systematic traders (trend followers, pairs traders, hedge funds, etc.) find it much more efficient to program their trading rules and let the program trade automatically.
Algorithmic trading provides a more systematic approach to active trading than methods based on a human trader's intuition or instinct.
Algorithmic Trading Strategies
Any strategy for algorithmic trading requires an identified opportunity which is profitable in terms of improved earnings or cost reduction. The following are common trading strategies used in algo-trading:
- Trend Following Strategies:
The most common algorithmic trading strategies follow trends in moving averages, channel breakouts, price level movements and related technical indicators. These are the easiest and simplest strategies to implement through algorithmic trading because these strategies do not involve making any predictions or price forecasts. Trades are initiated based on the occurrence of desirable trends, which are easy and straightforward to implement through algorithms without getting into the complexity of predictive analysis. The above mentioned example of 50 and 200 day moving average is a popular trend following strategy. (For more on trend trading strategies, see: Simple Strategies for Capitalizing on Trends.)
- Arbitrage Opportunities:
Buying a dual listed stock at a lower price in one market and simultaneously selling it at a higher price in another market offers the price differential as risk-free profit or arbitrage. The same operation can be replicated for stocks versus futures instruments, as price differentials do exists from time to time. Implementing an algorithm to identify such price differentials and placing the orders allows profitable opportunities in efficient manner.
- Index Fund Rebalancing:
Index funds have defined periods of rebalancing to bring their holdings to par with their respective benchmark indices. This creates profitable opportunities for algorithmic traders, who capitalize on expected trades that offer 20-80 basis points profits depending upon the number of stocks in the index fund, just prior to index fund rebalancing. Such trades are initiated via algorithmic trading systems for timely execution and best prices.
- Mathematical Model Based Strategies:
A lot of proven mathematical models, like the delta-neutral trading strategy, which allow trading on combination of options and its underlying security, where trades are placed to offset positive and negative deltas so that the portfolio delta is maintained at zero.
- Trading Range (Mean Reversion):
Mean reversion strategy is based on the idea that the high and low prices of an asset are a temporary phenomenon that revert to their mean value periodically. Identifying and defining a price range and implementing algorithm based on that allows trades to be placed automatically when price of asset breaks in and out of its defined range.
- Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP):
Volume weighted average price strategy breaks up a large order and releases dynamically determined smaller chunks of the order to the market using stock specific historical volume profiles. The aim is to execute the order close to the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP), thereby benefiting on average price.
- Time Weighted Average Price (TWAP):
Time weighted average price strategy breaks up a large order and releases dynamically determined smaller chunks of the order to the market using evenly divided time slots between a start and end time. The aim is to execute the order close to the average price between the start and end times, thereby minimizing market impact.
- Percentage of Volume (POV):
Until the trade order is fully filled, this algorithm continues sending partial orders, according to the defined participation ratio and according to the volume traded in the markets. The related "steps strategy" sends orders at a user-defined percentage of market volumes and increases or decreases this participation rate when the stock price reaches user-defined levels.
- Implementation Shortfall:
The implementation shortfall strategy aims at minimizing the execution cost of an order by trading off the real-time market, thereby saving on the cost of the order and benefiting from the opportunity cost of delayed execution. The strategy will increase the targeted participation rate when the stock price moves favorably and decrease it when the stock price moves adversely.
- Beyond the Usual Trading Algorithms:
There are a few special classes of algorithms that attempt to identify "happenings" on the other side. These "sniffing algorithms," used, for example, by a sell side market maker have the in-built intelligence to identify the existence of any algorithms on the buy side of a large order. Such detection through algorithms will help the market maker identify large order opportunities and enable him to benefit by filling the orders at a higher price. This is sometimes identified as high-tech front-running. (For more on high-frequency trading and fraudulent practices, see: If You Buy Stocks Online, You Are Involved in HFTs.)
Technical Requirements for Algorithmic Trading
Implementing the algorithm using a computer program is the last part, clubbed with backtesting. The challenge is to transform the identified strategy into an integrated computerized process that has access to a trading account for placing orders. The following are needed:
- Computer programming knowledge to program the required trading strategy, hired programmers or pre-made trading software
- Network connectivity and access to trading platforms for placing the orders
- Access to market data feeds that will be monitored by the algorithm for opportunities to place orders
- The ability and infrastructure to backtest the system once built, before it goes live on real markets
- Available historical data for backtesting, depending upon the complexity of rules implemented in algorithm
Here is a comprehensive example: Royal Dutch Shell (RDS) is listed on Amsterdam Stock Exchange (AEX) and London Stock Exchange (LSE). Let's build an algorithm to identify arbitrage opportunities. Here are few interesting observations:
- AEX trades in Euros, while LSE trades in Sterling Pounds
- Due to the one hour time difference, AEX opens an hour earlier than LSE, followed by both exchanges trading simultaneously for next few hours and then trading only in LSE during the last hour as AEX closes
Can we explore the possibility of arbitrage trading on the Royal Dutch Shell stock listed on these two markets in two different currencies?
- A computer program that can read current market prices
- Price feeds from both LSE and AEX
- A forex rate feed for GBP-EUR exchange rate
- Order placing capability which can route the order to the correct exchange
- Back-testing capability on historical price feeds
The computer program should perform the following:
- Read the incoming price feed of RDS stock from both exchanges
- Using the available foreign exchange rates, convert the price of one currency to other
- If there exists a large enough price discrepancy (discounting the brokerage costs) leading to a profitable opportunity, then place the buy order on lower priced exchange and sell order on higher priced exchange
- If the orders are executed as desired, the arbitrage profit will follow
Simple and easy! However, the practice of algorithmic trading is not that simple to maintain and execute. Remember, if you can place an algo-generated trade, so can the other market participants. Consequently, prices fluctuate in milli- and even microseconds. In the above example, what happens if your buy trade gets executed, but sell trade doesn't as the sell prices change by the time your order hits the market? You will end up sitting with an open position, making your arbitrage strategy worthless.
There are additional risks and challenges: for example, system failure risks, network connectivity errors, time-lags between trade orders and execution, and, most important of all, imperfect algorithms. The more complex an algorithm, the more stringent backtesting is needed before it is put into action.
The Bottom Line
Quantitative analysis of an algorithm's performance plays an important role and should be examined critically. It's exciting to go for automation aided by computers with a notion to make money effortlessly. But one must make sure the system is thoroughly tested and required limits are set. Analytical traders should consider learning programming and building systems on their own, to be confident about implementing the right strategies in foolproof manner. Cautious use and thorough testing of algo-trading can create profitable opportunities. (For more, see How to Code Your Own Algo Trading Robot.)

monkdiscuss sundialsvc4
 This post is by [sundialsvc4], not [Anonymous Monk], just in case somehow I get logged-out prematurely. (I didn't.) Yes, I have said some of these things before. Place your down-votes here to be sure that I get proper credit.

 PerlMonks is kind of like Perl itself ... [id://872809|quirky, hasn't changed much despite various attempts to change it in a dozen years], and we sort-of like it that way. And, it does serve two fundamental user communities remarkably well:

N00B1ES: Perl is a hard language to get to know, and newbies don't get barbequed here. Much. (They're often so amazed at being treated courteously, that they write nice letters.)

Esoterica: Perl is a high-performance, yet compact language, with [http://search.cpan.org|one of the most well-developed contributed software libraries to be found anywhere]. So, it winds up being pressed into service in a lot of amazing ways. You can ask a question here, and get an informed answer (and a few not-so informed ones), and some complete blocks of source-code, in a matter of minutes or hours.

 I suggest that all of us should always be asking ourselves, how can we serve these two groups better. (And then, if changes to our venerable <tt>perlmonks.pl</tt> are called for, actually get changes done.) Why do people come here? What do they want to get from it, and what do they not?

 They do want to get:

Answers. Above all. I am (whoever I am ...) "show-stopped" and the clock is ticking. We have all been there.

 Peer Review. The best solution is not-obvious. We want to hear the opinions of our peers. We know that the Perl space is actually vast, with all kinds of nooks and crannies, and that someone .. here has already been there.

 They do not want to get:

Participant personalities. The moment a thread "gets personal," it not only becomes off-topic, but it also gets irrelevant and even annoying to people who have to scroll through back-and-forth exchanges. The rules of debate are formalized, but they're formalized for a reason. The greatest scene in The Fugitive ends with Tommy Lee Jones' character shouting back, "I don't care!" His character had one purpose. So do we. The audience doesn't come to a movie to see back-office politics.

XP wars. So far as I know, PerlMonks is the only forum that provides a means of negative feedback, although a great many offer n people found this post helpful. When I am looking for answers, especially in unfamiliar spaces, it is helpful to zero-in on what other people find helpful. But it isn't coincidence, I think, that these forums don't tally negativity, let alone bundle them into a singular "total." [http://www.rottentomatoes.com/|Rotten Tomatoes], the well-known movie review site, tallys, separately, both the fresh and rotten fruits. (And, guess what, I tend to read only the fresh ones.) You heard the opinions of both Siskel (R.I.P.) and Eibert (R.I.P.). Separately. I think that there were carefully market-researched reasons for that.

"Anonymous" egg-throws. No other forum that I know about permits posts to be made anonymously. You must log-in, and if your session times out, you must re-authenticate to proceed. The ability to do so, not only prevents someone from following-up offline with the true author of a particular post, but also encourages the other two things that, I aver, participants do not want to get. Once again, I think there is a reason why every other forum acts differently from this one in this regard.

 In the end, movies exist to sell popcorn. Perlmonks similarly exists to provide on point answers and peer-reviews to people who one-and-all "sing for their supper." Whether we change the site software or not, in the end, it is the Monks who define our effectiveness in doing what we do here. We ought to be "on-point" and "on-message," collectively, all the time. That message is never particularly about "any of us," and I think we all should strive to keep it that way ... for them: the folks who buy popcorn.

Do GOP Trump disloyalists led by Maverick John McCain, Paul Ryan and Jeff Flake care that they can cause irreparable damage to the Republican brand and incite anger toward down ticket races?
Dealing with the endless fallout from a 2005 video, suspiciously revealed in the final weeks of the presidential campaign, and for which Republican standard-bearer Donald Trump has repeatedly apologized, is getting his dander up. And who could blame him? The entire episode complete with the showy defection of iffy supporters exposes the empty shell of the GOP establishment — as Republican voters and grassroots activists remain loyal to Trump.
It's widely reported that the video "leak" was perpetrated by a Ryan staffer, which is no surprise since Ryan and Rubio are said to be colluding on the formation of a 2020 presidential ticket
Donald Trump clearly defines the double standard that permeates politics, as he continues to be held to a higher criteria than his radical Alinskyite presidential opponent Hillary Clinton, (as revealed by Conservative Review) and recent detractor John McCain.
If the video elevates the issues of candidate temperament and retaining women voters, where is the clamor for the heads of Hillary Clinton and John McCain as each of them have been far more offensive. Where Donald Trump was speaking privately in what has been characterized as "locker room" style generalities, John McCain called his own wife a painted trollop and a c**t in front of aides and reporters.
An even more vile and vulgar Hillary Clinton was also caught on tape being interviewed by a reporter, where she can be heard raucously laughing and gloating over successfully defending a 41-year-old acknowledged child rapist — facing 30 years to life — getting him off on a technicality as she trashed the 12-year-old victim in the process.
The Daily Wire reports that Hillary also "threatened, smeared and targeted" the victims of hubby Bill's ongoing sexually predatory actions to keep them from going public with their accusations, as she calculatingly referred to them as "Bimbo eruptions."
Where is the coverage of these offensive actions? Why is Donald Trump the only one held accountable and for far less reprehensible acts — now morphed into a contrived crisis? Is this smear campaign and accompanying feigned moral outrage all part of a calculated effort to topple his chances and put scandal plagued Hillary back in the White House to serve out Obama's third term? The ongoing WikiLeaks data dumps clearly indicate that's the scheme.
