SalesPath is a must have!
Alex A.
Pros: Very easy to create accounts and contacts from LinkedIn. The input of prospect information is very simple. Matches records that are similar within salesforce so stops duplicates from being created. When creating contacts, you can easily match that contact with an account that has already been created in Salesforce.
Cons: Not being able to scrape prospect data.

Review of SalesHud for Salesforce
Cian O.
Pros: It's discrete and blends in well with LinkedIn and Salesforce. The features are simple and benefit the user, saving time and effort.
Cons: There are really not that many benefits to using this software and it is so discrete that it could go unnoticed at times. Further integrations and additional features would be a real game-changer. Also, to install this, there are several policies and agreements to be approved and enabled, including access to data. This doesn't comply with many company policies and hence, it is difficult for companies to implement and allow. For example, I cannot use this software for corporate use because it doesn't comply with our data policies.

For those of you who are completely new to sending cold emails, we're not going to lie… this can be pretty daunting.
Not 100% sure what cold emails are?
These are basically emails that you send to people whom you aren't connected to.
If you're a marketer, for example, you might use cold emails to find companies to partner with you on a marketing campaign.
If you're a sales rep, you'll probably use cold emails to reach out to leads or potential customers.
Now, you'd think that it's pretty hard to approach someone with a cold email. After all, you're getting in touch out of the blue, and the person you're emailing might not receptive, or give you the time of day.
Well, there are plenty of cold emails that DO get ignored (or sent straight to trash)…
But if you engineer your cold emails the right way, it's possible to get great results from these emails.
In this article, we walk you through:
- The effectiveness of cold emails
- Tips to improve your cold emails
- How to use copywriting frameworks for cold emails, and
- 5 subject lines for cold emails that work
- How to get more leads for cold emails
Ready? Let's jump right in!
Are cold emails ineffective?
There are plenty of sales reps who write off cold emails from the get-go, but like we mentioned, cold emails CAN be highly effective if done properly.
Take this case study by B2B sales emailing consultancy SalesFolk, for example. In this case study, SalesFolk talks about how they helped their client boost their cold email open and response rates.
The client had a <2% response rate before they approached SalesFolk, and after they tweaked their email according to SalesFolk's suggestions, here were their results:
57% open rate 21% response rate
Pretty insane, huh? That's a 10x increase in their response rate – just by switching up the contents of their sales email!
Here's the new email template that this company is now using:
Hello [first name],
I have an idea that I can explain in 10 minutes that can get [company] its next 100 best customers.
I recently used this idea to help our client [SaaS company/competitor] almost triple their monthly run rate.
[First name], let's schedule a quick 10 minute call so I can share the idea with you. When works best for you?
It's obvious why this email template works – it's quick, it's simple, and it's easy to understand.
The bottom line?
Cold emails CAN produce great results, and you should definitely incorporate them into your marketing and sales strategy!
Tips to improve your cold emails
Now that you know how powerful cold emails can be, we'll walk you through a few tips to increase the effectiveness of your emails.
1. Create a connection
The WORST kinds of cold emails cut to the chase, without any kind of preamble.
You know the ones I'm talking about. They go: I'm [Name], and I wanted to reach out to see if you're interested in a solution that can help your company…
If you send this sort of cold email to your prospects, what do you think will happen?
That's right – their eyes will start to glaze over within 2 seconds, and they'll never make it to the end of your email.
Instead of sending a generic, copy-and-paste cold email, be sure to personalize your cold email, and create a connection.
This could be literally ANYTHING.
If you and your prospect have both guest-blogged on the same publication, mention that.
If you used to live in the city where your prospect is currently staying, talk about that.
If you've got a mutual friend, definitely throw their name in as well.
The goal is to build rapport with your prospect – you DON'T want them to see you as just another sales rep who's trying to sell them stuff.
2. Talk like an actual human (NOT a robot)
Running in the same vein, employing a conversational tone also helps you build rapport, and create a connection with your prospect.
Consider the following…
Option A = I'm confident that you'll appreciate all that this product has to offer, and as such, I'd like to explore the possibility of arranging a get-together at a time that's convenient for you.
Option B = I'm pretty sure you'll love this product – most of our customers start raving about it 5 seconds into our demo. Let me know when you're available, and I'll set something up!
Which offer sounds better?
Option B, of course!
3. Talk about what you bring to the table
Here's what you need to keep in mind: your prospects don't OWE it to you to read your cold email, and response.
In fact, assuming your prospect doesn't recognize your name or email address, they might just move your email to the "Trash" folder, without reading it in its entirety.
How do you get around this?
Simple – incentivize your prospects to keep reading, by highlighting what you bring to the table.
Say you want to get your prospect to join your webinar, for example.
Tell them that you'll break down and go through the strategy that a company in their industry to increase their revenue by 10x in this webinar.
Once you do this, your prospect won't be thinking:
Do I want to waste 30 minutes of my life on yet another webinar? No thanks.
Instead, they'll be thinking:
Wow, I'll get to learn the exact strategy that Company XYZ used to 10x their revenue? Dang, I can't miss out on that.
What if you want to get your prospect on the phone, and have a conversation with them?
Well, many sales reps will say something along the lines of:
"When's a good time to connect over the phone? I'd love to share more about what my company can do for you."
This sort of alludes to the value that you bring to the table, but it's not EXPLICIT enough.
Instead, try being more specific. For example:
"In your last email, you mention how you're struggling with problem XYZ. If you have a minute to chat on the phone, I'd like to propose a solution that can help you increase your productivity by X% and eliminate the problem of XYZ once and for all."
BAM. Plenty of value in there!
Bonus tip: Consider your prospect's psyche
When demonstrating value and talking about what you bring to the table, be sure to consider your prospect's psyche as well.
The key here is to keep in mind that you're selling to an INDIVIDUAL, not to a corporation.
Sure, you'll eventually have to get your prospect's entire team to buy-in (plus their CFO has to approve the transaction)…
But, remember: baby steps. You'll need to convince your prospect first, before you can even jump through those additional hoops.
So, how do you sell to an individual?
Well, instead of just appealing to their logic, you should also appeal to their emotions. More specifically: consider your prospect's psyche, and think about their goals.
At the most basic level, you know that your prospect's objective is to hit their sales figures or marketing KPIs…
But if you think about it, you'll realize that your prospect has other personal goals and objectives tied to their purchase decision as well. These could include:
- Wanting to get more recognition in their company
- Wanting to get a raise
- Wanting to empower their team
- Wanting to achieve work-life balance
And on it goes.
Say your prospect has mentioned that they don't have much visibility in their company (in a way that suggests that they'd like to change this).
Bearing this in mind, you should tailor your cold email to address this directly:
Hey [NAME],
I've got just the thing that will make your CEO sit up and take notice. Trust me, after you 10x your results using this tool, everyone in the company will know your name.
3. Show that you're credible
Showing that you're credible is important, because it helps you to stand out.
And standing out is important… because your prospect might be getting 10+ cold emails in a single day!
Plus, the more you demonstrate your expertise, the easier it is to get your lead to take you up on an offer.
Here's an example:
Say two SEO agencies cold email you, and offer you a free SEO audit for your website.
One of these agencies tells you that their consultation takes 30 minutes, that it's worth $100, and that they won't upsell you at the end of the consultation.
The other agency talks about all that, but they also go on to tell you that you'll be meeting with their John Doe, their SEO specialist, who:
- Used to work at Google
- Guest-blogs on reputable sites such as SearchEngineLand
- Recently spoke at the GrowthHackers conference 2018 and the DigiDay AI Marketing Summit 2018
It's a no-brainer, isn't it?
You'd go for the second agency, because they're more credible, and they have more expertise!
Now, you might be thinking:
Well, I'm just a sales rep. I don't guest blog anywhere, and I definitely haven't spoken at big-scale industry events.
Don't worry – there are other ways to demonstrate your credibility.
For example, you can:
- Talk about data or research that your company has published
- Talk about how long your company has been in this industry
- Talk about your clientele (if you work with Fortune 500 companies, that's impressive!)
4. Compliment your lead
This one's pretty obvious – complimenting your lead can help you get into his/her good books, and help you build rapport.
That said, here's something that not many sales reps realize…
Not ALL compliments are equally effective, and an insincere compliment could actually ruin your chances with a lead.
So, what's the key to coming up with a compliment that works?
It all boils down to balance.
On one hand, you don't want to go overboard with your compliment; on the other hand, you don't want to sound too vague or unenthusiastic either.
Here's a negative example:
"I read your blog article on voice technology, and it's the most AMAZING article I've read about this topic!"
This compliment is a little over-the-top, and it sounds insincere.
On the other end of the spectrum, some reps will say something along the lines of:
"Your company is pretty impressive."
This compliment is far too generic and vague, and it feels like it's just been copied and pasted into the email for the sake of it.
Try and strive for the middle ground here. Here's an example:
"I recently read your article, NAME OF ARTICLE, and enjoyed it immensely. It must've taken you a lot of time to interview all the industry leaders that you featured in it – I came away with plenty of great insights and tips to apply to my own sales strategies."
5. Reduce friction associated with your Call To Action (CTA)
When you're wrapping up your cold email, you'll throw in a CTA to tell your lead what action they should take.
Now, the most important thing to do here is remove as much friction as possible, and make it EASY for your lead to take action.
Say you're offering a product demo, and you want your lead to take you up on that offer.
You should shoot across 3-4 potential dates/times that your lead can choose from. This way, your lead can simply pick a date, instead of having to ask you "What's next?", or take the initiative to propose a date and time.
Even better, insert a link that your lead can use to schedule an appointment with you – this lessens the back and forth, and makes the process a lot faster.

How to use copywriting frameworks for cold emails
Alright, you've got all the tips you need to improve upon your cold emails. Now, let's discuss the copywriting frameworks that you can use to structure your emails.
Before-After-Bridge (BAB)
The BAB framework is pretty self-explanatory.
It involves highlighting a before vs after scenario, and positioning your product or service as a "bridge" that allows your lead to get from the "before" to "after".
Here's an example:
Hi [Name],
A quick search of [CompanyName] shows that you appear on the fifth page of Google, which is way behind [CompetitorA] and [CompetitorB].
I don't need to tell you this – in this day and age, being visible online is everything. Since you're not ranking on Google, you'll probably find it hard to generate awareness about your business and acquire new customers.
If you're keen to learn how to increase your ranking, I'll be happy to schedule a demo to walk you through my company's SEO tool. Many of our clients have used this tool to help them rank on Google's Page One – and once you do that, you'll find your traffic increasing exponentially, and your sales will skyrocket as well. In fact, here's a case study of how Client X generated $100,450 more in revenue in 3 months after ranking using our SEO tool.
Problem-Agitation-Solution (PAS)
BAB aside, there's the PAS framework, which stands for Problem-Agitation-Solution.
With this framework, you start by discussing the lead's problem, then rock the boat by talking about what consequences will surface if the problem isn't addressed.
Finally, you follow up by providing the solution.
Here's an example:
Hi [Name],
I noticed you downloaded 2 of our eBooks on common mistakes marketers make with analyzing PPC campaigns recently, and this leads me to think that your company might be struggling with utilizing your PPC data properly.
If that's the case, it's smart of you to try and troubleshoot your problems. Harvard Business Review recently published a study that shows that interpreting data wrongly is the one most common factor that causes marketing teams to be unsuccessful; more specifically, we know that the average business loses $9,856 per year because they're not analyzing their PPC campaigns properly.
Plus, consider this: now that PPC advertising costs are skyrocketing, it's more important than ever to make sure you're getting the most mileage out of your campaigns and budget. It just doesn't make sense for you to increase your budget to deal with the inflation on AdWords, only to have this money go down the drain because you're analyzing your campaigns wrongly.
If you need some help analyzing those PPC campaigns, I'd be happy to hop on a call and give you a 15-minute walkthrough of how we do it at [Company]. We've helped [Number] of companies save an average of $XYZ with this walkthrough.
Subject Lines For Cold Emails That Work
Subject lines are important regardless of what sort of email campaign you're working on, but they're exceptionally important when you're sending cold emails.
Remember, with cold emails, your prospects DON'T recognize your name or company in any way. This means the only chance you have to "hook" them and get them to open your email lies in your subject line!
In this section, we share 5 subject lines for cold emails that will get you great responses. Read on to find out more!
1. Quick question…
This subject line is particularly effective in evoking curiosity.
You're essentially leaving your lead hanging, and there's a high chance that they'll take 2 seconds to click on your email, so that they can find out what, exactly, is your question.
One caveat: make sure you really DO feature a quick question in your email body – and don't ramble on after that.
If your leads open your email expecting a "quick question", and are immediately confronted by a wall of text, you can bet that they'll be put off.
2. Offering free consultations this week only.
If you're wondering why this subject line works, it's because it involves the element of urgency.
In fact, if you've ever subscribed to an eCommerce store's mailing list, you'll probably have gotten your fair share of emails utilizing this technique.
These emails might say something along the line of:
- Flash Sales - 24 Hours Only!
- Bestsellers Now On Discount *Limited Time Offer*
- Black Friday Sale – Sale Ends In 24 Hours
So, who's to say that you can't adapt this for reaching out to your leads?
"Offering free consultations this week only" is a great option if you're getting in touch with your leads for the first time…
But if you've been speaking to these leads for some time, and you want to push them down your sales funnel, you can experiment with these variations:
- 7 day free trial extension (please respond in the next 24 hours)
- 10% off your preferred plan (for the next 24 hours)
- Limited Time Offer: Free setup + developer assistance for XYZ product
3. [Person] recommended I get in touch
If you have a mutual acquaintance who referred your lead to you, be sure to reference this in your email.
You don't need to come up with anything too fancy – just a simple "[Person] recommended I get in touch] will do the trick.
Using this technique helps your email catch your lead's eye, and it increases the likelihood of your lead responding.
Similar variations included:
- [Person] said you're a great guy
- I'm not stalking you, [Person] gave me your email
- [Person] told me you're the best person for this
4. So, you [insert hobby or trivia]?
Here's a great way of personalizing your cold email, and having it stand out in your lead's inbox.
Simply do a bit of old-school stalking, and dig up some interesting trivia related to your lead. Then incorporate this trivia into your subject line accordingly!
With this technique, the sky's the limit. Your subject line could be:
- So, you like geocaching?
- So, you speak Mandarin?
- So, you're a Taekwondo black belt?
As long as it applies to your lead, it works.
Now, don't worry about having your subject line not being relevant to your ask. The goal is to build rapport (yup, you'll find that this is a common theme!), and you can slowly nurture your lead from here on out.

5. Can I make your life 20% easier?
This is another great email subject line, because it gives your lead FOMO (for the uninitiated, that's the Fear Of Missing Out).
When you use this subject line, this automatically results in your lead thinking:
What could this person possibly do to make my life 20% easier? I'd better have a quick read, in case I miss out on a great tool or solution.
That's how you get your foot in the door!
BONUS: How to get more leads for cold emails
Awesome! You now know how to write kick-ass subject lines that will skyrocket your cold email open rate.
Now, let's backtrack a little, and talk about how you can find more lead for cold emails.
The old-school method is to simply Google the heck out of your leads, and hope that you can find their email addresses online.
Obviously, this takes a ton of time and effort, and it doesn't give you the best results.
That's why we've come up with a tool that allows you to generate leads and get their contact details… without ANY effort on your part.
In a nutshell, Albacross is a lead gen tool that tells you who's visiting your website, AND how to reach them.
Here's the good news:
Albacross is 100% free to use, and setting it up is simple. (You don't need ANY technical skills to get it up and running!)
First, create an Albacross account. This takes just 30 seconds, and you don't need to input any credit card information.
Next, copy Albacross's tracking script, and paste it on your website.
Finally, sit back and wait for Albacross to collect data about your site visitors. Once there's sufficient data, Albacross will start sending you daily, weekly, or monthly email reports which tell you who's visiting your website.
That's not all… you even get your visitors' contact information, so it's easy for you to nurture these visitors, and convert them to paying customers.
All in all, Albacross is a HUGE help for marketers and sales reps who struggle to generate sufficient leads.
Again, all you have to do is set up Albacross once, and it'll run like clockwork in the background while you take care of your other tasks.
To create your free Albacross account, and start generating more leads, click here.
A final word on crafting the perfect cold email
We've covered a lot of ground in this guide, so here's a quick recap…
- Cold emails are effective, as long as you do them right.
- To write awesome sales emails, create a connection, talk like an actual human, highlight what you bring to the table, compliment your lead, reduce friction associated with your CTA, and use copywriting frameworks.
- To improve your open rates, experiment with the 5 tried-and-tested subject lines for cold emails that we've outlined above, and finally
- Use Albacross to generate more leads for you to email!
Trust us, we know that sending your first cold email (and putting yourself out there) can be a scary process.
So, we'll leave you with one final tip:
Regardless of whether you're a marketer or sales rep, you've got to thicken your hide, and learn how to bounce back from rejection.
More specifically, don't take it too personally if your leads don't respond to your emails, or if they reply with a curt "not interested".
Instead, use this as an opportunity to learn, and to improve upon your subject lines for cold emails.
Alright, you're now an unofficial expert on cold emails. Start crafting those emails, and make sure you do us proud! ;)

#002: The Prodigal Daughter
It is really awful.
Alright, I am gonna be that guy who fired the first shot.
Canada is Awful? Even more so with this guy in office:
I wonder if either Greg or Cory have ever even gone to Canada. I hope to visit there one day.
PUP are from Canada so clearly they're doing something right up there.
Oh, you can tell she's canadian born.
Today's Critical Miss strip is titled "The Prodigal Daughter".
Today's Penny Arcade strip is titled "The Prodigal Son".
Coincidence? I THINK SO!
Grey actually lives there
Yeah but has he actually gone there?
Especially with that guy.
Who is he?
Two complete strangers just talked to Erin on the street. I didn't know she was such a celebrity in Canada!
Justin Trudeau, Canadian Prime Minister and beta male feminist.
Hmm, maybe if it gets cold enough, Erin's massive c**t will get frostbite and fall off, then she can actually act like a decent person.
Her? Never. Actually, at this point we know her so well that a kind-hearted Erin would actually be kind of creepy, like she's been possessed.
More like gamma... or omega.
If you're trolling, I'm failing to find the lulz. If not, well, an ounce of maturity might help. We might have differing political opinions, but I'm at least going to refrain from landing slurs at you. Modern feminism has nothing to do with the shrill harpies that have oddly inspired people with your beliefs.
If that earns me a warning, I can live with that.
Whoa. I almost got lost in his eyes there, and I'm straight as an arrow. Maybe that's how he became Prime Minister, with that Clooney-esque charm.
Nah, with a heart like hers colder than the Canadian winter, she's right at home.
What part of Canada is she from? It's not that bad where I am.
Oh im quite serious. We are talking about a man who was 'allowed' to attend service at a mosque as a woman.
I dont know what youre referring to with 'modern' feminism. Theres nothing modern about it, and aside from the demands actually being made its just marxism married to a victim complex.
Can we, like, not? For once? Just to see how it feels?
Can we not turn this into a discussion of politics and feminism please?
She enters my home turf.
This can only go well for the both of us.
I agree, I'd rather we didn't, either. Besides, the discussion's current slant feels a tad nauseating to me, but hey. Personal beliefs and whatnot.
So, um, comics about Canadian weather and a native female game journalist's near imperviousness to our Siberian winters!
Honestly, Erin's actions are accurate. If all I'm doing is grabbing a cab or a shuttle of some kind, I won't ever layer up nearly as much as when I have to hoof it around. It's even worse if you're around or in a big city. I'm on Montreal's South shore, and the Underground City is sufficiently developed and networked to more or less make winter gear obsolete.
Parkas? Boots? What are these Eldritch things you speak of? Here in the land of the White Walkers, we wear sneakers all year 'round!
I like how Erin has rolled up sleeves. Like, it's not that she's wearing a short sleeved shirt in the cold. She's wearing a shirt that has long enough sleeves to cover her arms and just goes "fuck it" and keeps them rolled up, presumably out of spite.
That's a whole new level of not giving a shit. You're basically TAKING shits, at that point.
...wait, I mean--
I have nothing to add to this conversation, I just love the way this plea is worded. Gotta use this at some point.
Hey, the Hulk is a "gamma" male, and he does pretty well for himself!
(I thought of that joke like six months ago and this is the first opportunity I've had to whip it out and omg it felt so good)
And... you're a cunt for dragging politics into this.
Sorry but this whole thing about Erin going to Canada reminds me of people like Jon Stewert leaving the states and moving to Canada because Trump won.
And I really don't like Justin Trudeau.
So you're not actually sorry. Whatever, man.
He also just invited all the refuges and legal immigrants that Trump has banned from the US. Sounds likes a compassionate guy (and horribly Canadian).
Not bad.
Duuuude. This isn't R&P. We're supposed to be laughing about safe things, like the weather.
And nobody should be firing any shots. What do you think you are? American?
Clearly she's from Winnipeg, Manitoba. A.K.A Winterpeg, Manisnowba

The country-focused programmes are meant to complement the institute's three basic disciplinary programmes, with the cross-affiliation of researchers between the two sets of programmes helping to encourage research projects which are more comparative in nature and are conceptually bolder.
The five country-specific programmes are Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam (including Indochina).[3]
Research centres[edit]
- ASEAN Studies Centre
- Temasek History Research Centre
- Singapore APEC Study Centre
ISEAS Publishing[edit]
The publishing arm of the institution has produced more than 2,000 titles, consisting of books and journals, since the early 1970s. ISEAS Publishing is the largest scholarly publisher of research about Southeast Asia and Asia-Pacific from within the region and works with many other academic and trade publishers and distributors to disseminate important research and analyses from and about Southeast Asia to the rest of the world.[citation needed] In recent years, ISEAS has published an average of 50 new titles a year.
In addition, ISEAS Publishing issues the institute's three tri-annual academic journals - Journal of Southeast Asian Economies; SOJOURN: Journal of Social Issues in Southeast Asia; and Contemporary Southeast Asia, as well as the annual Southeast Asian Affairs.
ISEAS books and journals are distributed to over 100 countries worldwide and are available in both electronic and print versions, via the bookshop located within the institute and its website.
ISEAS Library[edit]
The library houses over half a million items related to Southeast Asia in the area of economics, politics, international relations, culture and social studies. The collections, built up over decades, are both historical and contemporary, including a range of multimedia titles.
The ISEAS library is open to all members of the public interested in the study of the Southeast Asian region.

Hello. I live in Gastonia, NC. I am living at the motel 6 here. I am on disability. I had a stroke last year. I have 3 children that are in DSS custody. It all comes down to me having a home I can afford. I want my children back very much so. I do not do drugs or drink. I do have a very small dog who is house broken. Sable is part of my life. She is part of my family. She worries about me when I worry or am sick.
I have looked all over the internet for help and cannot find any. I have 700 dollars left this month and cannot find a place. I don't know what to do. I need help so bad. I have to go back to court the 15th of this month for my kids. I do not drive. Is there any way you could possibly help me? Thank you so much!!

Re: Motel 6
Hi, I was wondering if you helped with deposits for apartments or have a program that help find a place other than the Motel 6. I have a 11 month son and his father ...he works some time only when the temp agency had work can't find an thing steady so the money we get goes to gas and like motels because we refuses to have a baby in a car or somewhere that's not comfortable. So yeah..I work and I don't make enough in a week to get a place. They want first month, last month + its lot of money and I'm trying so hard so as of today we have nowhere to go. I have no family they moved out of state. I really need help as I don't know what to do. Thanks have blessed day.

Re: Motel 6
instead of a motel 6, try low income and transitional housing in Buffalo. They can probably get you off the streets and somewhere safe. As the Motel 6 is a short term solution, and it will cost you money to stay there over the days and weeks. Transitional housing may be a better option for you.

The 2018 Ford Fusion is a smooth, stylish, and efficient sedan that is often imitated, but very rarely equaled. Some drivers think that the 2018 Hyundai Sonata gives the Ford Fusion a run for its money. At Richmond Ford Lincoln, our team is here to settle the score once and for all for our friends in the Richmond, Mechanicsville, and Ashland areas looking to know which sedan truly outshines the other.
Our Ford Fusion vs. Hyundai Sonata comparison will help you see how these two popular sedans differ. We'll be looking at the engine specs and options, the media and technology, and the safety features. Reading this Ford Fusion vs. Hyundai Sonata comparison can help you make up your mind about which sedan you'd prefer to take out on the road.
Ford Fusion vs Hyundai Sonata: Specs
Both the 2018 Fusion and the 2018 Sonata each come with a variety of engine options with their varying trims. The Ford Fusion starts out with a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine and the Hyundai Sonata features a 2.4L 4-cylinder. Both engines can hit the 175-horsepower mark; however, each engine option offers a different degree of power.
- The highest output of the Ford Fusion comes from the 2.7L EcoBoost® V6, which delivers 325 horsepower.
- The 2.0L 4-cylinder Turbo in the Hyundai Sonata delivers the highest output of the engines with 245 horsepower, which falls short compared to the Ford Fusion.
- Each vehicle comes with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Media & Technology
The Fusion and Hyundai Sonata come with a variety of media features that can help the driver enjoy lengthy road trips or routine commutes. Each sedan provides some significant technology. Still, there's noteworthy differences in what these sedans offer.
- Each vehicle features a dashboard-mounted screen, but the SYNC® system in the Ford Fusion features enhanced voice recognition, which lets you use your voice to select your media.
- The Ford Fusion and the Hyundai Sonata both feature AM/FM radios, CD/MP3 players, USB/auxiliary connections, and Bluetooth®.
- Both sedans offer trials of SiriusXM® Satellite Radio with an upgrade; however, the Ford SiriusXM® trial is six months long, while the Hyundai SiriusXM® trial only lasts for three months.
Safety Features
When it comes to vehicle safety, each of these sedans deliver. Both vehicles are equipped with stability and traction control systems to provide better handling when traveling over slick terrain. When it comes to passenger protection, though, there are a few differences you should be aware of.
- Both vehicles feature front airbags, side-impact airbags, side-curtain airbags, and a driver's knee airbag.
- The Ford Fusion also includes a knee airbag for the front passenger.
- The SOS Post Crash Alert System™, featured with the Ford Fusion, activates after a collision by flashing the emergency lights and unlocking all of the doors, so passengers can exit the vehicle.
Getting to Know the 2018 Ford Fusion More
At Richmond Ford Lincoln, we hope that this 2018 Ford Fusion vs. 2018 Hyundai Sonata comparison helped you notice the glaring differences between these two popular sedans. While this comparison may have provided you with the information you were looking for, you can always learn more by stopping by our dealership for a closer look at the Ford Fusion. We encourage our friends that are interested in this sedan to get behind the wheel and see how it handles on the road.
Contact our team today for more information. We're always thrilled to provide our friends and neighbors in the Richmond, Mechanicsville, and Ashland areas with informative guides and hands-on experience with the vehicles they're interested in.

Nov. 1, 2017- The Hans Paller Award, named in honor of New York State Outdoor Writers' Association's founding father, is NYSOWA's highest honor and is only given out rarely and carefully to someone who has devoted a lifetime of service to NYSOWA. In its 50-year history it has only been given out five times.
In October 2017 on the 50th anniversary, NYSOWA honored Bill Hilts, Jr. with the Hans Paller Award. Hilts has spent a lifetime devoted to the good of NYSOWA. For 36 years he has served NYSOWA in almost every capacity possible. He has served as Director, Vice President, President, conference chair five times, and conference site chair for many years.
For many years Hilts has been the Newsletter editor and still advises and proofreads it for the current editor. Whenever there was a need for a conference, a committee, or just some task, he would step forward. In all his years that he has been involved he would quietly offer his support and advice to the organization without fanfare or concern for credit. In most cases he would serve as the mainstay to see that the problem was solved and the job was done right.
The average span of active volunteerism in most organizations is about five years, or less. By contrast Bill Hilts has been very active as a hard-working and successful volunteer for 36 years. He has also been a great role model, a "people-person" who got others to work as well, achieved many significant improvements, and has played a major role in making NYSOWA the great organization that it is today.
In recognition of his outstanding service, NYSOWA is proud to present Bill Hilts, Jr. with this highest honor that NYSOWA can bestow.

Like a computer. Unlike any computer.
If the computer were invented today, what would it look like? It would be powerful enough for any task. So mobile you could take it everywhere. And so intuitive you could use it any way you wanted — with touch, a keyboard, or even a pencil.1 In other words, it wouldn't really be a "computer." It would be iPad.
A10 Fusion chip. Engineered for performance.
64-bit architecture. Four-core design. Over 3.3 billion transistors. Translation: iPad is incredibly fast. Which comes in handy when you want to edit a 4K video, play graphics-intensive games, or experience the latest augmented reality apps.
It multitasks easily. So you can, too.
iPad packs enough power to use multiple apps all at once. Work on your business plan while doing research on the web while making a FaceTime call to a colleague at the same time. It's even easier than it sounds.
Thin, light, durable. And in three great finishes.
At just one pound and 7.5 mm thin, iPad is a breeze to take wherever you go. It's built to be durable, so you have peace of mind knowing you can take it anywhere. And it's just as beautiful as it is portable — available in silver, space gray, and gold.

The blog is hosted on a domain called Hellecaster.com. Now this isn't some kind of death metal haven, rather, it is an homage to the name of one of my favorite guitars, the Fender Hellecaster (the guy in the picture is John Jorgensen, not me). You see, back in my band days, I purchased one of these and immediately became known as the guy with the Hellecaster. Not because my playing was anything special, but the guitar was just so damn different.
Fast forward to today. I've since graduated college, and left my band days behind, but not the "gear itch". The musicians reading this know what I'm talking about. That constant need to get the newest effects pedal, or guitar. I've pretty much got the setup I want, as far as amps, guitars and pedals, so now my itch has progressed to things you can't buy. I've been tinkering with the idea of doing some kind of custom guitar modification for the past year or so.
I've been a fan of the band MUSE for quite some time now, and reading an article on the band finally gave me the idea of what I want to do. Check out this link describing MUSE's lead singer / guitarist Matt Bellamy's guitar setup. Bellamy has a touch sensitive pad installed beneath the bridge of several of his guitars. This pad allows him to control a Korg KAOSS pad MIDI setup to produce a wide variety of synth like tones, using his guitar.
Bellamy has his guitars custom made by Manson Guitars in the United Kingdom, but this is too easy. Rather than simply purchase a Manson touchscreen guitar, I've decided to take the long path of taking a generic Telecaster style guitar, stripping it down, and producing a completely new (and badass) custom touchscreen guitar on my own. I will be documenting every step along the way, from stripping the existing finish, to completion when I am able to plug the thing in and go!
Once this project is complete, I've got a few more ideas of what to build!
Updates to this blog will happen on a widely varying schedule, as I have a full time job, so please be patient. Most importantly, have fun laughing at the mistakes I make along the way. I have very little experience with power tools, and absolutely no experience assembling custom electronics!
Contact Information - To contact me directly, simply post a comment on any thread, and I will view your message before moderation. If you would like to keep your comments private, simply state that in your post.
*IMPORTANT* While I will be accurately documenting the steps necessary to build a "KAOSS Pad Guitar", this blog is for informational purposes only. The steps being outlined should only be undertaken by a trained professional. We make no warranties for the accuracy of the information contained herein, and accept no liability for any damage you may cause to your personal property.

Doula Services – What Are They, Their Benefits And Costs
can i buy tinidazole over the counter Doula services have been around for years, but many people don't really know much about them. We are here to help you learn more about what are doula services, the benefits of having a doula and some of the costs involved. Take a moment to relax as you learn a little bit about doulas and how they can help you before, during and after childbirth.
What Are Doula Services?
Doulas provide a variety of doula services. The main purpose of the doula is to help you during pregnancy and childbirth, but many doulas also provide care after childbirth. A doula can provide both mental and physical support, along with handling many of the daily tasks that you just don't have time to do.
Interestingly, the word doula is a Greek word meaning women's servant. Women have been serving others in childbirth for many centuries and have proven that support from another woman has a positive impact on the labor process. So, as you can see, doula services have been around for a long time.
What Is A Doula?
Those that provide doula services are not just someone who stops by to bring you a snack or a word of encouragement, although doula services may often include that as well. A doula is a professional trained in childbirth services who provides emotional, physical, and educational support to an expectant mother, a mother who is currently in labor, or when someone has recently given birth. The doula's purpose is to help women have an enjoyable, safe, and memorable experience without having to worry about what to do next.
Benefits Of Doula Services
There are so many great benefits of doula services. In addition to having someone you can trust by your side during this important event, there are many practical benefits and services that doulas provide. Numerous studies have reported that when a doula is present, women were less likely to have pain medication administered and less likely to have a cesarean birth.
Another great benefit is the reduction in stress. Doula services that involve touch and massage can often reduce the amount of stress that the expectant mother might encounter before, during and after the pregnancy. This added level of comfort can really help a mother get through the process.
Cost Of Doula Services
The cost of doula services can vary quite a bit. Our recommendation is to find a reputable provider and compare costs. More importantly, it's best to make sure that you have a good relationship and good communication with your potential doula provider. As long as you both get along well and the doula has the proper training, you should be in good hands.

Then using whatever font, size and color you want, place your text and hit enter.Highlight the text again (still in text tool, click in front of the first letter and highlight all of it). Now from the top menu, select:
Drag either of the opacity bars to the left. Your text will fade. For this example, I'm showing "general blending" at 32%. You want your watermark visible but not detracting from your photo.
That's basically all there is to it. I like to rotate watermarks right across the photo, making it even harder to remove. Because make no doubt about it: it can be removed. But it takes a lot of work. Work that your average thief isn't going to bother with.
Now a small reward for all of you still reading. These 3 photos are by Jan Granai, an ex-park ranger who because of lay-offs has taken up photography and making clay miniatures for her roomboxes. We've discovered that we have the same quirky sense of humor:
I think Jan will do well, don't you? Maybe I'll even get to see her roomboxes one day. (Jan, if you're lurking: thanks for the chuckle!)

How rich is Brooke Hogan?
Brooke Hogan Net Worth:
$6 Million
Brooke Hogan Net Worth:
She was in a relationship with Jerry Reid in 200506. In 2014, she was seen with a fresh lover whom she said the relationship is going smooth. The name and other information on his man will not be understood. The reason behind calling off the engagement continues to be not understood. It was said that it was she, who began the separation. There was no known secret matter or infidelity which would have caused a failed engagement. Neither Phil nor Brooke talked about the reason behind the parting. Phil was quite silent, when it came to discussing relationship. Both of them declared that they were dating just after they got engaged, and then, they declared their separation news. In 2013, they met on a reality show and verified that they were wed and the relationship ended in a divorce, in exactly the same year. Afterwards, she said that she failed to leave him because he had a secret girlfriend. She said he wed her, only to ensure that her dad would give him, the heavyweight title shot. After he won the title, he didn't desire to be with her and he's nothing more regarding her. So, he began dating another girl and left him. The parting resolution, alimony and other information on the separation will not be understood. Hulk failed to talk relating to this scenario and there were no remarks from Bully's side either. She was his partner for three months, but, she was quite accurate to him. They talked about their suggestion, wedding and other details in a reality show, only before the wedding. When Bully said in a show he was the president of Aces and Eights, she tweeted that it was a treachery and she felt quite offended and filed for the separation, instantly. She also said that it wasn't a publicity stunt and she was really hurt by his activities. Bully had not been accessible for any opinions. The reason for the parting from her other lovers were also not understood. There were lots of rumors which weren't addressed by her. Her fight with her mom after stopping her union with Hulk Hogan became public.

Rating (out of five stars): 5
You don't like personal reviews, please don't continue reading. This was a very personal read for me and I would appreciate it if you could not say anything negative. I would be open to a polite discussion in the comments.
I have never related to a character as much as I related to Elise. I haven't ever truly related to a book character (which is probably why I don't read contemporary books often). It's probably hard to hear this from a girl who has been represented in books when many races, religions, and sexualities are not properly represented, but I have never related to any of the many fictional girls with red hair and green eyes simply because we look the same.
Like Elise, I was bullied as a kid. I was bullied from grade 1 to grade 9. I never had any real friends during those years, so there wasn't anyone to talk or ease the pain. I kept imaginary friends well into grade 8 out of loneliness, because fake people couldn't turn on me. It was a sad existence. My past was all I could think about when reading this book. I remembered their words echoing in my head, and I remembered the countless tears that fell. I also remembered how I would not wish the pain these people caused me on anyone, because no one, no matter how cruel, deserves to feel like I did.
I will remember the first and last day I had suicidal thoughts for the rest of my life. It was when I was 12 years old (2011). I was sitting in my room with the door closed, so something small had obviously set me off and I looked towards my armoire, and I thought "how would I kill myself". I then proceed to go through all the ways I could do it and decided that the only plausible way has to hang myself. Then, part of me realised what was happening and I thought about my parents and how they would fell if they came in and saw me dead at age 12, when I had so much more life left to live. What if my little sister with whom I share a room were to find me? It was terrifying that it had gone that far, and in my fear I walked over to me bookshelf, picked out a book, and began to read.
I had enjoyed reading long before this, but that day is when my love of books truly began. After that day, books were my escape and my savior. Books had truly saved my life. That day will haunt me for the rest of my life, but I am truly grateful for that, because at least it didn't break my family.
So, I relate to Elise. I had/have the same trust issues after being bullied. I had that little voice inside my head telling me that I'm worthless and that I will never be good enough. I reached my breaking point once. Even her dad feels like my dad (in personality). I am not the same as Elise (I will never do some of the things she has done), but I truly feel as though this book is a very honest portrayal of a victim of bullying.
I think This Song Will Save Your Life with always hold a special place in my heart, granting it 5 out of 5 stars.

The true story of how I didn't meet Marc Summers, part two.
So there I was, wandering drunkenly around a beautiful food festival in Puerto Rico trying to find Marc Summers. Every once in a while we sat and watched people make food. Those people were not Marc Summers.
Every once in a while we stumbled upon a stray fashion model who had apparently gotten lost and in the wild and, bewildered, was playing possum the only way it knows how – by posing.
I tried out being a fashion model, but it didn't turn out as well.
I resigned myself to eating without finding my third favorite Food Network television host and ate vast quantities of delicious, delicious food. There was a zesty tilapia ceviche, several varieties of steak, chips and dips and energy drinks, a malanga root soup, chicken on a stick, and the enormous, spicy, and wildly seasoned paella. I had a cheesecake made from avocados and a delicate quesadilla filled with pork. There were a lot of things that I ate without the slightest clue what they were (I do not speak a lick of Spanish, unfortunately). Mostly everything was delicious.
Still, internet, I was secretly searching for Marc Summers, with a plastic fork in my hand like a sonic screwdriver and an ever-growing bag full of cheap goodies, and with every new cocktail, I was growing more and more despondent. He was nowhere to be seen, neither high nor low, drunk nor sober. I kept getting annoyed at everyone I saw who was not Marc Summers, which turned out to be 100 percent of the people (minus the bubbly lady serving sausages. She was a rockstar).
Was I wrong in wanting so badly to meet Marc Summers, the voice of my childhood, the smiling face from Nickelodeon and Food Network, the kindly man who answered all the questions about Twinkies and Jellybeans I had not thought to ask? The frequent visitor of that mysterious diner with the all-encompassing menu? The ultimate darer of dares? In retrospect, even if I had met the guy, I have no idea what the hell I would have said to him, beyond "Hey man. What's cracka-lackin'?".
I was dispirited. Yet my salvation was nigh, people, because it turns out there was totally a dessert section. And while I did not find Marc Summers, I did find chocolate, which is essentially the same thing.

I try to schedule out my week with each day with a task.
Mondays are cutting days. I spend my day cutting out bags and getting them ready for sewing.
Tuesday and Wednesdays are for sewing. I try and sew up all the bags I had cut out on Monday. Sometimes I can make up to 10 a day depending on which bag style has been cut out. After 10 years of making my bags, I don't need to follow a pattern and have an assembly line style of doing the work.
Thursdays are for computer design work. I spend the day working on my sewing pattern designs. I have 12 patterns and will be redoing the cover images for all of these and tweaking the instructions.
Friday! is my fun day! I play around with new ideas for bags or practice sewing clothing. I have bought a Singer Professional 5 serger/coverstitch machine. This thing is the bomb! A smooth running machine that can do it all. I am having fun with it. I will post my clothing items for sale on my second etsy page. http://www.etsy.com/shop/myfavoritefrock
