WATERBURY, VT -- Keurig Green Mountain Inc. and Subway announced a deal that will bring Keurig's single-cup brewers to the sandwich chain's nearly 30,000 restaurants in the U.S. and Canada.
Subway first offered Keurig K150 Series commercial brewers as an option to franchisees last year, and more than half of the Subway restaurants in North America have since adopted them. Subway, headquartered in Milford, CT, is the largest restaurant chain in the world with more than 42,000 locations in 106 countries.
Subway beverage manager David Zambory said the sandwich chain has heard "overwhelmingly positive feedback" since introducing Keurig brewers last year.
"Subway restaurants are a destination throughout the day, including at breakfast, and we look forward to providing our customers with the freshest cup of coffee possible no matter when they visit us," said Zambory.

Lucas: That Awkward Moment
CLEMSON--We've all been the person jammed in that crowded elevator, casually but frantically trying to figure out how to pass the time. It's just that we haven't all been in one with a bunch of sweaty Tar Heels and one miffed head coach.
You know what a crowded elevator is like. You're standing there, awkwardly, not really sure how to make small talk. You look at the buttons. Look up at the floor indicator. Look down at the floor. Look, well, anywhere other than at the other inhabitants of your small, confined space.
At Littlejohn Coliseum, getting from the playing floor to the visitor's locker room requires either a three-flight stair climb or an elevator ride in the one working elevator on that side of the building. After Thursday night's 68-59 road win, most of the Tar Heels chose the latter.
Ordinarily, that would be a wise move. After all, Carolina has considerably thinned its rotation, and three players had played at least 32 minutes and five had played at least 27. You think you would want to climb three flights of stairs after that kind of effort?
But Roy Williams didn't want to climb the stairs either. Which led to the coach being jammed in the elevator with his players, no one wanting to vocalize what everyone knew. This...was...tell them, Dexter:
"It was kind of awkward in that elevator," said Dexter Strickland, who led the team with 16 points on seven-of-nine shooting. "He was so mad at everyone, so he didn't even say anything at all while we were in there."
Strickland paused, perhaps considering the image he was painting.
"Yeah," he said, "it was kind of an awkward moment."
That's only fitting, because it was kind of an awkward game. Carolina won it going away, except when they almost frittered it away at the end--which only came after many in the allegedly sellout crowd of 9,778 had already streamed for the exits with 1:21 remaining...in a nine-point game. The Tar Heels dominated the game, except when they didn't, but Clemson was never quite able to take advantage. Carolina started out almost totally reliant on the three-pointer, then went 18:40 without one.
The Tar Heels did the things they've done well recently, enjoying a 13-2 advantage in points off turnovers and 13-0 in fast break points. But they also struggled with things they haven't done well lately, being outrebounded 39-30 for the game and watching Devin Booker have a monster second half. The Clemson big man tallied 21 points and 9 rebounds-in his 19 second-half minutes alone.
So perturbed was Williams that he took the elevator up to the locker room, talked to his team, took the elevator back down to his postgame press conference and then took the elevator back up to the locker room. This is usually a time when he would not be talking to his team, and probably would not even see his team until they boarded the bus for the Anderson airport.
But 20 minutes after the final buzzer, he was still so agitated that upon returning upstairs, he immediately grabbed a black dry erase marker, walked to the white board, and wrote, "They outrebounded us by 14 in the second half."
He underlined the number 14 three times, in case you weren't sure if he was serious. Then he turned to his team and said, "Make sure all you guys see that."
"We just had such a bad second half as a team that it's hard to be excited about the win," said Marcus Paige, who somehow was not credited with a second-half assist on his way to four for the game and was one of five Tar Heels with double figure scoring. "Good teams--and I think we're a good team-have to get better. We're not getting better when we have the kind of effort we have in the second half and have a lackadaisical effort."
Do you see why Paige and Williams have gotten along so well lately? Take that quote, put it on a page unattributed, and you might very easily guess it was the head coach talking.
Strickland, a senior, has seen Williams in good times and in bad. So he knows exactly how to take his head coach's constructive criticism, and even knows that it might not be such a bad thing for Williams to be miffed after a nine-point road win in a season when road wins have been rare in the ACC.
Carolina is 10-5 in the ACC after being an afterthought six weeks ago. They've won 20 games for the 40th time in 43 years. They've won four games in a row. They essentially cruised to a win in a venue where Miami and NC State, among others, have struggled. And despite all that, the head coach thinks they can play much better. Williams's frustration, Strickland said, is a good sign.
"Him being mad at us after a win means he knows our potential," Strickland said. "And it means he knows how much better we can play. That's only going to help us moving forward."
Adam Lucas is the publisher of Tar Heel Monthly and the author or co-author of seven books on the Tar Heels.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Charlie W
I have one of each and could go on for hours, about all aspects but I'll answer your specific questions, bearing in mind these are my experiences with my two dogs, so maybe dog-specific rather than breed specific differences..
I don't think there's much in it, both are whip-smart, but the GSD is snappier (no pun intended) in her response to commands. They are both obedient, but the GSD does it because she wants to, the dobe does it because he has to!
I take the dogs horse riding with me and both of them are wickedly fit, but the dobie beats the GSD hands down when it comes to stamina. For every mile the horse does, the GSD does 2 and the dobie does 5. He covers the ground hour after hour and never tires..ever. He's phenomenal to watch in motion..
Some interesting differences here, I'll start by the similarities between the two, they are both friendly and well socialized, although the GSD in particular is not really bothered about attention from strangers. Neither of them are noisy, barking dogs.
The way they guard is quite different though, and I have to disagree with this..
Originally Posted by Gwenhwyfair View Post

Now, if Norah the GSD is outside alone and anyone turns up, she'll bark if she doesn't know them. If she barks we all check, because she never barks at nothing. Once we're there, she "hands over to us"
If Red is outside, he will sometimes bark, if he knows the person they just come on through and get licked.. If he doesn't know them it gets interesting, he seems to be able to "read" people, it amazes us anew every time, and he never gets it wrong. We live in the country and get some odd callers now and then.. Some will get barked at, then he changes, wags his tail and puts them at ease..For example the mail delivery people, or recently a work colleague who had never been here before, or this very morning the telephone repair guy..
If he doesn't like the person, he will stand back from the gate a few feet. He won't bark, he won't move, he stares at them and maybe growls a little, but not much. The whole stance seems to say "I am not in the least bit intimidated by you and you'd better stay right where you are or turn around, do not try to open the gate!"...and believe me, people don't..It's almost eerie how obvious this normally boisterous, friendly dog can make it when he doesn't like the look of a stranger. We are normally alerted to this happening by a voice shouting "hello" nervously!
I don't think he would ever bite someone, but when an impressive dog like him stands and stares, I don't think he'll ever be put in that position because nobody would get close to him..
Unlike the GSD though, Red sometimes barks at birds and cars with trailers, so we don't always look when we hear him!
Also, the GSD is more of a one person dog, but the dobe is more needy of general attention, he will lean on us , just to be close and have contact.
As I said, this might just be my two dogs, but interesting differences...
In my experience in a veterinary setting, GSDs, even for their possible health problems are nothing compared to the unfortunate health issues Dobies can have. Not in severity nor in frequency. From heart issues to neurology complications to spinal abnormalities. They are great dogs but the heath risks keep me from considering them.
On a less relevant note, their coats give me hives on occasion!
They do shed...just differently than GSD.
They do have a certain scent to them. GSD's don't
Many skin problems as opposed to GSD.
Ours was as tune to us as the GSD is now.
I would hate to make the decision of which one...
I'd probably take both!
if your going to crop the ears, dealing with that was a pain, not to mention expensive.
I thought you had decided on a Euro-line Dobe. That's what you said on DT, anyway. I do hope that you will do your homework, whichever breed you decide on, and don't fall for some of the misinformation out there (especially about Euro-line Dobes), and go with a good, ethical breeder or rescue.

|GSDude how did you find training malamutes? I was going to get one but decided on a GS.

Referring to the OP: I think it boils down to the individual dog and breeder. If you find a breeder with dogs you like, go for it, regardless of breed. Although many will buy a puppy only from pictures and have it shipped, I prefer to see both parents in person, see the kennel, check their pedigrees, etc.

Also coloring makes a huge difference. Fawn and blue dobie's have a lot of inherent skin problems. Mine is a red, but his father was fawn and he still has minor issues. Dobie's also want to be touching their owners a lot. Mine will sit down and back up until he is touching you. If you scoot back a couple inches he will back up more until he is touching you again. Its quite funny really. He will also sit next to me and lean into me. My GSD on the other hand likes to be close to me, but she is perfectly happy to go lay down in another room, or at least on the other side of the same room. She doesn't have to be up against me all the time. If I get up and walk to another part of the house, she will get up and follow up, but she isn't up against me all the time.
Maybe the biggest factor is shedding. Dobie has very little and GSD....well we all know what their shedding is like.

And any other info. Any help from owners of both or people who know is appreciated. Thank you.
Dobermans are smart dogs but IMO they are slightly more difficult to train than the GSD.
All of the Dobermans I know how a lot more stamina and energy than my GSD.
As for protective instincts, my GSD guards his yard and he has protected me before but all of the Dobermans that I know are excellent watch/guard dogs and IMO they are much more intimidating. I have dog sat 2 Dobermans at my house at different times and they treated my yard/house as if it was their property right away and they were always on patrol.
Now, the Dobermans that I know have all had health issues, 3 of them had/have skin issues, one has Wobblers and the other one had Parvo occasionaly has loose stools and has a weaker immune system.
Also Dobermans WHINE and it's the most annoying thing I have ever heard in my life, they also can have a high pitch bark that is equally as annoying.
So when it comes down to it, IMO the GSD is smarter, easier to train and less annoying vocally but the Doberman is a better watch dog, has more energy and more stamina and they shed less.
--------" I wanna buy a new dog i narrowed to a dobbie and a gsd which should i get and why? I have the time to take care of them. Please state the difference in terms of INTELLIGENCE, STAMINA, PROTECTIVE INSTINCTS."---------
No difference. And I have had many of both breeds. Grooming is easier with Dobes, especially during shedding season.
Love love love Dobes! I've had several, and also worked with Dobe Rescue for many years. I'd have another in a heartbeat, if I didn't already have 2 intact female GSDs and an intact male GSD. There's no adding a male or a female Dobe into that mix.
My experience has been that they are very into their owners. Always sitting on your feet, or leaning on your leg, or cramming themselves into a chair with you. Always wanting to be touching you. They will be on your furniture.
Extremely goofy. As a puppy, my Dobe Tessa got a marrow bone stuck on her toes, stole bars of soap out of the bathroom, and would stand in the bathtub with my son if I didn't shut the bathroom door. They have a quirky thing that they do, that we refer to as the "helicopter", where they will twirl in one direction, and then change course and twirl the other way. It's pretty funny. I remember Tessa was terribly destructive as a puppy. Once she grew up, she became a model citizen.
Not a fan of rain, or the cold. Minimal shedding. There are health problems in the breed (cardiomyopathy, wobblers, von willebrands). Average life span is about 9-10 years, but I had two Dobes that lived to be 14 years old.
When I took my first Dobe through obedience classes, my trainer told me "With Goldens you pattern, with GSDs you train, with Dobes you negotiate". She was right on that one. I remember being in class one night, and we were working on "down". After about the 4th time I asked for a down, I could see the wheels turning in her head. She threw herself on the ground, flipped upside down with her feet in the air. She was quite pleased with herself. After all, she was technically down, LOL. I have to say though, that clicker or marker training was made for this breed. She loved that clicker so much.
I find Dobes to be much more intimidating to the general public than GSDs.

text: I know that this sounds absolutely absurd but what if this is in fact the key to us getting A LOT better? I love the kid and it would take one helluva deal for me to be OK with seeing him traded, but I have serious doubts about whether or not you can build a title contender with a player like Andre Drummond. Drummond lacks a post game, can't shoot from the field or the free throw line. As of today he's a younger Deandre Jordan and his ceiling is Tyson Chandler or Dwight Howard; and I'm a person who doesn't believe players like Jordan, Chandler or even Howard can lead you to a title. You need skill like Hakeem, Shaq and Duncan....2 of those 3 can shoot the ball and convert FT's at a pretty decent clip while Shaq was absolutely dominant in the low post. I guess what I'm saying is that if we're going to pay him max money and build around him- Drummond needs to become more Shaq like as opposed to Howard, or he'll just be a really big guy, putting up big numbers. Do any of us honestly think he'll ever be a the kind of big that can get us 20+ppg by dumping it to him in the post like Shaq? If not.....trading him (as opposed to Greg Monroe) has to be something that the organization isn't absolutely opposed to.

Hi! I'm new to this forum and I hope you can help me!
I am preparing my public examination to work as a state teacher of Official Schools of Languages in Spain. We have to elaborate a teaching plan for one academic year and also we have to take a written and an oral exam. In our oral exam we have to defend our teaching plan and exploit one didactic unit of that teaching plan. Well, in my teaching plan I talk about the lesson-planning sheet, for the teacher, the continuous assessment record (or sheet or form), for the teacher to have a record of students' performance in the classroom, and the self-assessment diary (or sheet or form) for the students. The problem is that I don't have any of these documents so that I can include them in my teaching plan to show what I am talking about, and would like to know if there's anywhere where I can find something similar to elaborate these sheets.
Thank you for your help!!

(And that guy was insane; he was flailing the 1.8T all day, only stopping for fuel. Definately a good driver)
I think the mirrors are going to be useless on video, they are adjusted for the driver, not the camera, the passenger mirror shows the side of the car. I would try a video that frames the entire width of windscreen (no more no less). I am not super familiar with sebring but most racetrack corners are surprisingly "not tight". I just looked for videos and found this of a mini cooper s at sebring, his camera is tighter the windscreen width and only a few corners get cut off. Overall I think the larger viewing area (zoomed in) is worth a few apexes being lost.
I can't seem to get your vids to work right now...
Click on the video that you want to see, then in the next screen,
when you click on the little film real it'll ask you to "open" or "save".
how much more does your wide angle get than my normal lens?
It's about 1/2 way between your two settings.
Here's a screen shot from one of the vids:
|hi "bob" .......I need flash 8 to see it, but I would DEF. say the wide angle, for the whole picture....
I can't seem to get your vids to work right now... how much more does your wide angle get than my normal lens?
|^^^Nuts. I'm only getting audio, no video.
The wide is nice. I wish my car camera can do it.
I lose so much with my setup: Click here to watch JF05---Egz
After doing several videos of my AutoCross runs now, I most definitely vote for "wide angle"
It's too distracting (and dizzying) with the standard lens.
The wide angle gives the viewer a chance to look left and right,
and actually see the same things the driver is looking at when coming into, and out of turns.
Course, now, after looking at your vids, I see my wide angle is somewhere between your two views.
Anyway to lose the "circle" cropping on the wide angle?
Regardless, I still say go with the wide angle...it's easier on the viewers eyes.
It's also easier to critique your own runs (checking out lines/apexes and such)
when you can see more to the sides with the wide angle.
A regular video camera certainly would be better for what you're trying to do,
but there goes another chunk of money.
In case you need some more examples, here's my "vid" page.
(Please "save as" instead of viewing on the site)
Both "Malmstrom" runs are with the normal lens, the other two from "Helena" are with a wide angle.
The fifth vid is HUGE and a compilation of the whole season.
This is total coolness.
Glad to see another FF'r that's going to be posting racing videos.
There's a few of us around here, so hopefully the other folks will chime in too.
Help me pick camera setup for Sebring
Ok, I have bought and installed a CrusieCam headrest camera mount, now I am testing it and trying to figure out which setup works best. First off, I didn't really think the mount was high enough straight out of the box, so I swapped the actual piece that you mount the camera on for the very top part of my tripod. This allowed a little easier adjusting and positioned the camera about an inch higher, which helped, but not enough. So I tried to leave the CruiseCam's mount on and bolt my tripod mount on top of it, and that adds another inch or two and seems to work like a charm. Now you can see much more of the road over the dash than you could before.
The other problem I've found is that my digital camera wasn't made to be used as a video camera mounted to a moving object. The internals of my camera rattle a little if you shake it, but when you add all of the vibration thats coming thru the seat, the microphone picks up an almost constant completely annoying rattle. I've tried using a thin piece of dense foam between the camera and the mount to isolate the vibrations, but it does not seem to help much. One thing that does seem to help is when someone is riding with me it must keep the passenger seat from vibriating as much. As far as the video, the vibration is not even noticable, but the rattling sound is horrible! I think one or two models up from my camera has an external microphone jack, but of course mine (olympus c750) does not! If you have any suggestions, I would appreciate it.
Now on to the reason for this thread/poll, which lens to use. I have a wide-angle lens that I think gives a great view of the entire cockpit, but I'm not sure if it is better than the standard lens in the long run.
In the wide-angle, you can see all 3 mirrors, but I'm not sure you would be able to see anyone behind me in any of them. You can also see a little thru the side windows, maybe enough to see an upcoming turn, maybe not. Remember this is for a road-course, and it is primarily a right turn course (3 of the 4 sharpest turns are right - #7, 10 &13). The other advantage is being able to see the gear shift (esp if I angle it down just a hair more). The disadvantage is everything being a little smaller than in the normal angle lens because everything is kinda smushed to fit in the extra at the peripherals.
In the normal angle, you can see what really matters, the road, better. Plus you can make out my gauges a little better (when the light hits them) since they are bigger. You can't see the gear shift, but you can tell when I shift gears. So the biggest thing lost is the views out the side, but is that a big deal?
Now, here are links to the videos:
Wide Angle
Please vote and let me know which option you would go with, especially if you have done in-car camera stuff before. Thanks!

Places to make you happy
Disneyland bills itself as the happiest place on Earth, and that may well be true for some people (particularly those under 12). For the rest of us, however, the happiest place is where we can find the things that matter to us most, where we can live the way we want to live. Is it your dream to start your own business? Here's where you've got the best shot. Looking for a safe place to raise your kids? Look no further. Want to ditch your car, grow your own food, or get off the grid? Check, check, and check. Just crave a place where you can eat and drink and never gain weight? We've got the first two covered anyway. So depending on what makes you smile, here are the 10 best places to live (and find happiness) in the wondrous amusement park of the American West.

Cousy Award Nomination Caps Impressive Year for Sykes
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - When Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) turned 18 on Dec. 30, 2011, he was starting at point guard for Green Bay and had just scored eight points the night before at Butler against an All-Horizon League performer. His Phoenix career was off to a solid start, but the 5-foot-11 guard was showing only a small glimpse of what was to come. Now nearly a year later, Sykes has been named to the Bob Cousy Award Watch List as one of the nation's top point guards.Twenty-eight games into adulthood, Sykes will play his last contest as an 18-year old on Saturday night when the Phoenix host South Dakota at 7 p.m., and it is 20-point outbursts like he had against Marquette on Wednesday that have become far more common than single digit efforts.
This season, he has four games with 20 or more points, has reached double figures in 10 of 11 games, and he leads the Phoenix in scoring at 16.7 points per game. Sykes has scored 519 points in just 41 career games, and GreenBayPhoenix.com looks at his top-18 highlights from the age of 18.
The Bob Cousy Award, named for Hall of Famer and former Boston Celtic Bob Cousy, recognizes the top point guards in men's college basketball. The watch list of candidates will be narrowed down to a final 20 around Jan. 1, final 10 near Feb. 1 and final five by approximately March 1. A premier selection committee has been appointed by the Hall of Fame to review the final five candidates in contention for the nation's top collegiate point guard award.
These Hall of Fame committees are made up of top college basketball personnel including media members, head coaches, sports information directors and Hall of Famers. The winner of the 2013 Bob Cousy Award will be presented at the Hall of Fame's Class Announcement on Championship Monday in Atlanta as part of NCAA Final Four weekend.
Previous winners of the Bob Cousy Award have included Jameer Nelson (Saint Joseph's), Raymond Felton (North Carolina), Dee Brown (Illinois), Acie Law (Texas A & M), DJ Augustin (Texas), Ty Lawson (North Carolina), Greivis Vasquez (Maryland), Kemba Walker (Connecticut) and last year's recipient Kendall Marshall (North Carolina).

The entire list
Azerbaijan Novoye Vremya, 6 October 2008
Presenter: What would you say about the global crisis throughout the world?
Adnan Oktar: NOTHING WILL HAPPEN TO TURKEY. Nothing will happen to Turkish Islamic countries. On the contrary, there will be prosperity and abundance in those places. Here comes the age of abundance and prosperity Insha'Allah. By the leave of Allah we enter the Golden Age. Turkish countries will be happy, joyful and live in comfort. These crises are temporary indeed. They do not actually affect us but we of course do not want America be affected because of the crisis. We do not want the Christians to be in dire straits. We do our utmost regarding that Insha'Allah.
Milli Gazete, 19 May 2008
Adnan Oktar: Without losing confidence, Turkey is moving ahead better and better and will go on like that. The morals of Islam prevail and the power of the believers increases. Darwinism is losing grounds. Materialism is losing grounds. The power of atheism completely stopped and started to regress in a fragile mood. There is a nice improvement in every respect and it is clearly seen that in the next 10 to 20 years this will hit the top.
Çay TV, 23 July 2008
Adnan Oktar: Everyone must honestly believe that Turkey is heading in good direction and that we will really become a super state. Turkey will be a greater state than it has ever been in the past. Insha'Allah, it will be the leader of the Turkish-Islamic world. We are at the initial stages of this historic mission. And the Turkish nation is one that will free the whole world from anarchy, terror, distress, pain and all its sufferings. It is a really noble, decent nation toughened by troubles and sufferings. It has a spirit oriented towards managing the world and being of use to it. It seems that Allah has bestowed this task on our nation, Insha'Allah. We shall soon see this coming true, Insha'Allah.
Taraf, 22 June 2011
In terms of National Income, Turkey steadily covers the gap with Europe.
In terms of per capita income Turkey is keeping up with Europe. According to Eurostat (European Union statistical office), Turkey's per capita income in 2010 - that was figured out by taking the purchasing power or Turkey into consideration- reached by 48 % of the average of Europe.
In 2002, Turkey's per capita income was 36 % of EU. In 2004 this ratio reached by 40 %, in 2006 by 44 % and in 2008 it reached by 47 %. Last year Turkey's per capita income kept up with the half of EU average leaving two EU countries – Bulgaria and Romania – behind.

I searched, found nothing. Even though I'm aware that the debate has been ever lasting and highly debated.
I've come to realize my XSi just isn't cutting it for me. I've been shooting a TON of indoor events where flash is either not allowed or STRONGLY discouraged. I find I'm always shooting wide open at 1600 ISO and still not totally happy with the shots (although I am quite impressed I must say). I'd like at least to be able to shoot at a higher ISO than 1600. Here is the last event I shot for example http://www.flickr.com//photos/valley...35136253/show/ (they were SUPER stoked on the photos BTW, they've never had anyone who knew more than how to push the shutter button shoot any of their events)
I'm strongly considering the 7D over the 5D, mostly because I hear the auto focus is MUCH better and it's way faster, but also because of cost. I'll be shooting a lot of sports events, low light events (auctions, church/mass, events in school gyms etc) and kids/pets.
I guess my big question is will I wish I went with the 5D? Will I be bummed I didn't go FF? Mark III is out of the question.

Results 1 to 2 of 2
Rinehart responds to the ASA Rumors
First, I thank you for the privilege of providing ASA with targets for the 5 years. The innovation of the patented insert along with easy pull foam is well received by archers all around the world. But most important, your input for target development inspired me to make Archery more fun.
For 5 years, the cost of providing targets has come at great expense.
#1) $250,000 cash sponsorship paid directly to Mike Tyrell.
#2) The cost of Targets, delivery, and personnel has reached $500,000 for 5 years.
Rinehart 3D Targets has supported the ASA with cash and targets totaling $750,000
I am sure you now realize the dedication Rineharts has provided to help support and make the ASA a successful organization for the promotion of Archery.
In the future this expense is prohibitive for Rinehart 3D Targets to continue to offer the use of 260 targets for ASA.
Respectfully, Rinehart 3D Targets requested an $8.00 target fee for each shooter. This fee would only cover the manufacturing and delivery expense and no profit for Rinehart 3D Targets. The fee would allow Rinehart 3D Targets to continue the high level of service that all ASA Shooters have come to expect.
I regret to report, Mike Tyrell turned down this offer and negotiations for supplying ASA targets are terminated as of 2004 ASA World.
I thank the thousands of ASA shooters I have met over 5 years and I personally will continue to support the success of ASA.

This would be a huge disappointment for many if Rinehart leaves the ASA. I can fully understand Rinehart's decision. Ever since Rinehart joined the ASA, people have been very pleased. I for one am pro Rinehart. I hope they can work things out.

Yet another Spark Bits Weekly where I ask a panel of homepreneurs a blazing question about running and growing their businesses from home.
Today's Q:
What can you share about your experience with email marketing? What has worked and hasn't worked for your business?
Tracy Roberts & Susanne Myers from Piggy Makes Bank say:
We both have a lot of experience in email marketing in various niches. It's one of our favorite marketing methods and is, hands-down, the most profitable one.
What's worked really well for us is to use a combination of great, usable content (shared freely) and marketing products that we know will work well for our readers.
We are very careful about what we promote to our lists. We are both pretty protective of our readers and only share things we've personally found helpful and think are a good fit or our audience.
As far as email marketing and our own eProducts go, our most successful products have come directly from reader input based on an email we sent and a question we asked.
Invite your readers to regularly to share what else they want to hear about and what problems they come across. Then share solutions with them.
For example, at PiggyMakesBank.com we often hear about a reader needing to raise a little extra cash to pay some unexpected bills, fund a business expense etc. We've both been there and have developed a great system for running successful fire sales. We're currently turning our experience into an info product to share with our market.
Our best tip is to stay in touch with your readers regularly and make it a two-way conversation. Listen to what they have to say, pay attention to both what they want and what they need and then deliver – because as we always say, "An RSS feed is not enough."
Tishia Lee from Tishia Saves Time says:
Email marketing hasn't been one of my strong suits. I've been pretty hit or miss with it over the years. Thankfully, I've gotten a lot better about it the last several months. Before I started getting serious about it, it was normal for me to go months without mailing my list! But now that I have taken email marketing a lot more serious and realize the potential it has, I'm starting to mail on a regular basis and learn more about building a profitable mailing list.
So, even though my email marketing experience is fairly short and limited, I do know what is and isn't working for me. What doesn't work is not mailing your list on a regular basis. Back when I went months without mailing them, it impacted me in a few negative ways once I did decide to send out a mailing. One, people forgot who I was (or didn't remember signing up for my list). Two, because of what I just mentioned in number one, I had several people unsubscribe from my list. And three, I lost out on a lot of potential with my list – potential to build a better relationship with them and of course the potential to earn a profit.
And what I'm learning that works is making offers. I've never been great at selling and because it felt pushy to me. I think that's why I wasn't doing anything with email marketing in the past. But, I've been pleasantly surprised to see that over the last four to five months since I have started selling to my list, I'm earning a consistent affiliate income for one of the people I'm an affiliate for. While it's not a large amount, it's been consistent and definitely motivating me to do more with email marketing!
Brenda Trott from Done4UMedia Marketing says
Email marketing is said to be going away via text messaging. I don't see this anywhere near true. While many of my followers open my emails via a mobile device, they still open my emails, and I'm not sure they would stay on my list if I sent them as many text messages as I do emails!
I know they open them because of my fancy pants software that says so, but more importantly, because they write back. I make sure that every email adds value to their life and their businesses, but I also share me.
What I mean is that when appropriate, I share tidbits of my own life. They know when I'm excited and they know when I'm down. When I shared the news about my mother's illness, more people than ever let me know they were praying for her.
Email marketing is a super important element to EVERY small business. To work well, it should add value and a touch of personality.
Alicia Jay from New VA Advice says:
I wasn't really sure about the whole email marketing thing when I started my business, but I always do some research. I found some really smart people telling me to jump on email marketing right from the get-go, even if I only had four people on my list and one of them was my mom.
When smart people talk who have been there and done that in their online businesses, I listen. When I started, I wasn't really sure what I was supposed to write to my audience. It definitely got easier over time and now it's one of the things I most enjoy about my business.
Here are the biggest things that work for me when it comes to email marketing:
- Talk directly to your audience as individuals. I use the word "you" often and picture that one ideal client when I'm writing. This has resulted in more people opening my emails and often replying back, even when I don't ask them to.
- Be yourself. It works best for me when I think of it as writing a letter to a friend. I'm not afraid to let my personality come out and share some personal things about myself. This has really helped people relate to me and build the whole know, like, trust factor.
- It's okay to sell and market your products and services in your emails, but be sure to provide your audience with great, free information as well. Most people expect that you're going to try to sell them something at some point if they sign up for your list. But if you also provide them with great content that really helps them, they will see you as an expert, appreciate the help you offer and be more apt to buy when you do sell in an email.
- Find a schedule for sending out your emails that works for you and stick to it. I don't necessarily believe that you have to do what everyone else tells you and email every single day. But you do need to make a decision, let your audience know when they should expect to hear from you and then stick to that as much as possible. This will help them to trust you and they will look forward to your emails.
- If you're not sure what they want, ask them. When I get to the point where I'm kicking around a new product idea, I stop myself and do this really important step. I write up a quick email message asking my audience if it's something they really want and exactly how I can help them with the problem. I usually make it super easy for them to answer me by including a short survey. This way, it takes them just a couple of seconds to respond and now I know that there is a need, ensuring that there will be buyers when I'm ready to sell.
Stephanie Watson from Barry Publishing says:
I'll admit that when it comes to email marketing at this point, I'm a dismal failure. I have lists, very small ones that I don't spend time building, and that while they all have autoresponder series going to them for about 12 weeks, once that's done, other than blog updates they get nothing from me. It's sad because I know better.
I work for clients who have amazing lists and amazing results so I know exactly what to do to improve, but for me right now it's not a priority even though it should be. I've spend the last two years redefining my business and that means redefining my email list marketing strategy too, and at this point I haven't fully developed that. My poor excuse is that my clients come first, and anything that needs to be done for myself has to wait.
In the past I was much better at doing it before I became a service provider. Email marketing still works better than social media marketing, or really any type of marketing that exists. If you can build a targeted email list, even a small one, you can and will increase your income, exponentially. Even as small as my list is, if I remember to send them information about a new product or service I have tried, at least two or three will purchase from my recommendation.
Keep Building Your List
Who is on your list is more important than the size of your list. Keep building targeted subscribers. Grab their email addresses as often as you can from any page you can. Sign up customers automatically for your list, ask people to sign up for your newsletter, have a sign up form on lead pages even for those who do not buy. When you have their attention, get their information. You're actually more likely to sell them something from email than you are the first time they visit your website anyway.
Segment Your List
It's important try to keep, at the very least, buyers and potential buyers on separate lists. You have your newsletter, you have leads, and you have customers. Leads and customers need to be on separate lists and your newsletter should be directed to everyone but if set up right can move people to the right lists based on their behavior. Email autoresponder services like Aweber offer a lot of functionality when it comes to audience segmentation, learn to use it (or find an expert) so that you can market to each person better.
Communicate Regularly With All Lists
A huge mistake people make is having a fear of sending their lists information. I have taken on clients who haven't emailed their lists in months because "every time I send something someone unsubscribes" but the point of the list is to build a relationship and encourage some kind of buying behavior. You actually want people to unsub if they're not interested. This is how you qualify your buyers and keep a clean list. But, one of the main reasons people unsubscribe from lists like this is they simply forgot they signed up and think its spam when you finally do send them something. Try to some something once a week to your list subscribers so they remember you.
I need to take my own advice that I give clients, because I know it works. Email marketing is more important than ever and should most definitely be part of your online marketing arsenal. I honestly don't think you can build a substantial passive income without a healthy email list and email marketing campaign.
Samantha Pointer-Foxx from Get It Together says:
I have been doing email marketing in some form or another for about 6 years. I currently use Aweber to talk with my clients and potential clients. I like that I can set up autoresponders and basically keep in touch with my list quite often. I am still learning daily what works and what doesn't when it comes to email marketing. One thing that does not work is not being consistent with touching base with your audience through email. Also learning that if they signed up to your list they are telling you that they want to hear from you. I struggled with that one for a while. I didn't want to annoy people, but I'm not. They are waiting to hear what I say!
Helena Bowers from Your Message Amplified says:
Email marketing is my all-time favorite marketing method. I've been doing it since before there were autoresponders, and you had to run all your mails through your own Internet account. In all the years I've been doing internet marketing, the one thing I've never been without is a mailing list.
For my personality, I've found that the more formal newsletter style works best. I'm not a very spontaneous person, and I don't really like to share a whole lot of details about my personal life, so having a format and set mailing days works well for me. Although I will admit, I'm building a new list right now and am adopting a more informal approach with this one just to see how it differs from creating a full-blown newsletter each week.
A couple of things I've learned along the way…
- Have a reliable mailing list provider. Sure you could use one of the do-it-yourself ones, but it's safer and easier to have a provider that only focuses on email, has relationships with ISPs and knows how to get your emails accepted. I've always used Aweber for that very reason. They know what they're doing, and do it well.
- Be consistent. Whether you adopt a formal or informal approach, you need to have some sort of schedule so that your people know when they will hear from you. You really do need to keep a top-of-mind awareness in your subscribers' minds. There's so much noise out there now, that if they don't hear from you on a regular basis they will forget who you are and why they wanted to hear from you in the first place.
- Be yourself! People sign up for your list because they want what you're offering and they want it from you.
One last thing…. Treat the people on your list like the treasures they are. Always remember they are a group of individuals, not one nameless, faceless list. Out of all the places they could get their information online, they chose YOU to keep them updated. That can be a heady feeling, but don't let your ego get in the way. Honor and respect their choice, and work at building a relationship with each one.
Email marketing was the first thing I learned online, after learning to build web pages. And with all shiny new stuff out there to play with, it's still the one "old-school" marketing tool I will never give up.
My insights
The big rumor around the web these days is that email marketing is dead. You'll find people from both schools of thought, those who think it is because email tends to be cluttered and spammy and those who swear their success by it. I, for one, believe it happens to be alive and well. Why? Because I look forward to emails from certain brands and personalities. And, truth be told, many times I make purchases based on a marketing message I read in an email. Recently, I've decided to place a little more emphasis on learning more about email marketing. So, I asked the Sparkplugging advisory board to share their experience with this cost effective 'mad' tool with a return on investment of 4,300% and which propels 66% of consumers to make purchases online – statistics (along with other good ones) I read on the Hubspot blog.
Allow me to focus my insights on the list building aspect of email marketing, since I've been testing out some things. Based on my research, I began putting up some (annoying) popups on my most viewed pages (in an effort to grow my list). The word is that popups tend to do fairly well. I tested a a variety of plugins but most notably Optin Monster (paid) and SumoMe List Builder (free).
Here's what I got. OptinMonster resulted in an increase of sign ups of 5.1% BUT only less than 1% confirmed their subscription. I tested out total of 5 different email addresses to explore this further. Out of the 5 email addresses I submitted in the sign up box, 4 'please confirm' emails went straight to the junk folder. I take it that there is a high possibility that most people were not getting the confirmation emails, even though I gave them instructions to check their spam folders right after they signed up. If it's a tech issue, then let's just say it doesn't work well for less than tech savvy people like me.
Sumome List Builder did nothing for me in the 6 days I had it live on my site. What I like about it is that it's free, simple to use, and clean, although, not aesthetically inviting. I got no sign ups which according to JeffBulla's Blog, it gets conversions of upwords of 4% to 5%. I might have to look into this further.
In general, the consensus amongst the Sparkplugging Advisory Board is that email marketing is not so dead after all. The problem is that many of us don't take full advantage of it and don't execute it properly. I am guilty of not being as consistent as I should, especially when it comes to promoting products.
As of now, I am having some success with it, although nowhere near my goal or significant enough to make note of. I'm sure a huge piece is establishing a consistent schedule and message that combines both relationship building and promotions.
I think, however, that nonstop daily promotional emails work for certain business models and target groups. Overall, I don't see that for Sparkplugging. I like the idea of selling less but selling hard (when I do sell) – a philosophy I stole from Derek Halpern's Social Triggers. I have a long way to go since I am still planning and organizing some things on the site but since things change so quickly in the internet marketing space, I might also change that thought. We'll see how it goes.

Arsène Wenger believes Arsenal's record at Emirates Stadium can be their launchpad this season.
The Gunners are in an unfamiliar 15th position heading into Sunday's Premier League clash with Sunderland but, despite an inconsistent start to the season, Wenger's side have been impressive on home soil with five wins out of six games so far.
The Frenchman thinks another three points this weekend can help propel them up the table.
"Our home form is quite good so we just have to continue that at the moment," said Wenger.
"We have been stable defensively at home but Sunderland is a team that has good potential if you look at their players. We had a disappointing result at Tottenham but we have to keep belief in what we do and the way we do it."
A top-four place remains a viable target and it's worth noting that Tottenham achieved that in 2009/10 despite losing ten games. Not that Wenger will allow his team that much margin for error.
"I don't know how many games we can afford to lose, that depends not only on us but the other teams," he said.
"We need to be consistent, that is what we need. Nobody can tell you today how many games you can lose to be in the top four, but you need to be consistent with positive results. We know that, and that is what we want to achieve in the next games."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

An important prerequisite for a full cloud broker model is the technical capability of cloud bursting:
Cloud bursting is the dynamic relocation of workloads from private environments to cloud providers and vice versa. A workload can represent IT infrastructure or end-to-end business processes.
The initial meaning of cloud bursting was relatively simple. Consider this scenario: An enterprise with traditional, non-cloud infrastructure is running out of infrastructure and temporarily gets additional compute power from a cloud service provider. Many enterprises have now established private clouds, and cloud bursting fits even better here, with dynamic workload relocation between private clouds, public clouds, and the more private provider models in the middle; Forrester calls these virtual private clouds. The private cloud is literally bursting into the next cloud level at peak times.
An essential step before leveraging cloud bursting is properly classifying workloads. This involves describing the most public cloud level possible, based on technical restrictions and data privacy needs (including compliance concerns). A conservative enterprise could structure their workloads into three classes of cloud:

|I spent most of my time growing up doing two things, going to school and playing sports. I made many fond memories -- mostly from the latter :) -- and learned more than a few lessons over that time. Of all of those lessons, there was one in particular that stuck out in both the classroom and on the baseball diamond: Sometimes you have to get back to the basics.
|In that vein, I think it is time to revisit the basics of WebSphere CloudBurst. In revisiting the basics, I am not talking about the technical basics of the appliance. Rather, I am talking about revisiting exactly why WebSphere CloudBurst exists in the first place. In other words, let's take a look at the problem domains WebSphere CloudBurst addresses, and let's discuss a little bit about how the appliance does so.

The British Are Coming (Back): Andy Lanning on Marvel's 'Revolutionary War' [SDCC 2013]
In the early '90s Marvel launched a UK imprint under editor Paul Neary; books featuring sci-fi-tinged heroes and anti-heroes like Motormouth, Dark Angel and the Knights of Pendragon. The line was short-lived because of the publisher's financial woes at the time, but many of the characters are still fondly remembered.
Now they're making a comeback. As announced at yesterday's Cup O'Joe panel at San Diego Comic-Con, writers Andy Lanning and Alan Cowsill are launching a new series, Revolutionary War, which reintroduces the characters from Marvel UK. We talked to Lanning to find out what to expect.

My 97 Don Post helmet got here today... To my great dismay, even though it's smaller than most of the fiberglass helmets I've seen, it's still slightly too large and out of proportion on me (I'm 5'3").
Purely hypothetically at this point, is there anything that can be done to shrink it or cut it apart, cut it down, and re-assemble it? How would I go about getting started on such a project?

After a few months of collecting parts, I finally installed my stereo system. A big thanks goes to Steve (M2KS) for his hospitality in letting me use his garage and help installing parts, and to Jake (JSEnclosures) for an awesome job doing most of the work.
Parts installed:
Pioneer AVH-P4200DVD
Alpine SPX-17REF 6.5" Components
Dynamat Xtreme Speaker Kit
Alphasonik PMZ1200A 5-Channel Amplifier
JL Audio 10W3v3-4 Subwoofer
JSEnclosures Showboat Enclosure
There were a few changes to the stereo system than previously intended...
I originally planned on running rear speakers, but decided against it for the time being. Rear speakers can take away from the sound stage, people rarely sit in the back seat, and it's just more cost to the stereo which I don't need. Instead, I'm going bridge the rear/sub channels on the amplifier (I need another small part that I'll probably pick up this week), and run the OE speakers off the H/U (the extra power put out by the Pioneer alone improved their SQ a bit).
I also intended to do a more complete sound deadening job (BXTII / Ensolite), but the materials wouldn't have arrived in time for the install, it would have raised the cost by ~$200, and I figure I'll live with this upgrade for a while and determine if I really have the need for added deadening. A local car audio shop had a Dynamat speaker kit in stock, so I picked that up on my way over.
Thirst quenchers (was looking for Long Trail, but the store was out of it):
Door card removed:
H/U installed:
Amp wiring kit installed (wire run through grommet by turbo and along the passenger side doors to the trunk):
Dynamat speaker kit:
The crossovers could've been mounted to the doors, but I figured it would be easier to access them for adjustment if they were mounted in the trunk. I didn't want them mounted where items in the trunk could bump into them, so I did them on the back side of the enclosure. Crossovers mounted to subwoofer enclosure:
There wasn't the time to get the MDF spacers coated in Line-X, so I picked up a can of Plasti-Dip on the way over. The spray wasn't adhering well to the sides, so it isn't a pretty job, but they're not visible and it's functional so I don't care. Speaker/spacer attached to the door:
I had a few options on where to mount the tweeter: OE, A-Pillar, kick panels, and the door card. OE isn't a very good location other than the fact that there's no "customization" necessary. I didn't want to do the A-Pillar in case I decided to put a gauge pod there (didn't want my stock pillar to be cut). I didn't want to cut into the door card in case I sell the car down the road without the speakers. The kick panel isn't too visible. Tweeter mounted to kick panel:
Subwoofer and enclosure in trunk:
So far, I'm very happy with the way it sounds, even though I haven't had a chance to really tune the system. Over the next few weeks, I'll spend some time tweaking...
