ON ARCHITECTURE- Born and razed: Preservationists won't forget Beta House
William Faulkner was describing the history of the American South when he wrote "The past is never dead. In fact, it's not even past."
But he could have just as easily been talking about preservationists. It's been over a year since the Compton, a.ka. Beta House on Maury Avenue was demolished by the Jefferson Scholars Foundation and VMDO Architects to make way for a new 25,000 square-foot, $21 million headquarters (more than $800 per square foot!). Preservationists, however, appear unwilling to forget.
On December 27, the one year anniversary of the demolition, a group of local preservationists created a "memorial column" made out of salvaged terra cotta roof tiles from the house, which was displayed in the backyard of an individual who wishes to remain anonymous.
As you may recall, the terra cotta roof tiles were a distinctive feature of the Beta House, which was built in 1913 as a private residence by famed local architect Eugene Bradbury, who also designed St. Paul's Church, the Kearney Mansion atop Lewis Mountain, the building now housing UVA's women's center, and the Bank of America building on the Downtown Mall, to name a few. Despite the original intent, the house had housed a fraternity for its last 50 years.
"The important thing about the tiles, other than their beauty, is that they were not original to the house," says UVA architectural historian Daniel Bluestone. Not original?
"The Beta fraternity replaced the roof at a cost in excess of $50,000 in the 1990s," explains Bluestone, "going back to the original Ludovici tile manufacturer for the tiles."
The discovery of such an architectural gesture would seem to partially vindicate the frat boys, who were blamed by the Jefferson Scholars Foundation for running the house into the ground. During a public hearing on the project in September 2007, Foundation president James Wright said that preservation might not be an option because the Beta House frat brothers had been so hard on the structure. And project architect Bob Moje of VMDO Architects said the building could not be preserved because it had been "decimated by 50 years of fraternity use."
In fact, it looks like the boys might have tried to preserve it.
"The easiest thing in the world would have been to throw an asphalt roof on the building," says Bluestone, "but they did the right and sustainable thing instead."
Of course, Moje explained that it was the interior that the boys had abused. He described stair treads completely worn away, rooms haphazardly reconfigured, and an electrical and plumbing system completely unworkable. "You wouldn't be restoring the house, you'd be recreating it," Moje said.
Still, City Council joined preservationists in condemning the demolition. The Foundation secured $18 million in bond financing for the project from the Albemarle County Industrial Development Authority, but because the property was located in the City it had to be approved by City Council.
Later, after preservationists began to protest, the Foundation came before Council seeking an additional $3 million in bond financing, but Council denied the request. At the time, Councilor David Brown said that Councilors wanted to know what their plans for the building were.
"But they never came back to us," Brown said. Indeed, after being denied, the Foundation chose to seek additional funding elsewhere.
At the time of the original bond request, Brown suggested that the Foundation had misled City Council, pointing out that there was no mention of a possible demolition. Brown told the Hook in January 2008 that Council members believed that a foundation bearing Jefferson's name and associated with UVA would surely be dedicated to historic preservation. "Who would have thought it was their intent to tear it down?" he asked.
During a January 7, 2008 City Council meeting, Brown said, "I deeply regret we didn't take a closer look."
The controversial demolition prompted two major preservation initiatives, what preservation planner Mary Joy Scala has called "historic preservation lite" and "architectural design control district lite." The first initiative identified over 100 previously unprotected city properties for possible special protection, then slowly pared it down to 12. The second initiative, which was recently approved by the Planning Commission and will go before City Council for approval next month, will allow neighborhoods to create special "conservation districts" to protect nearby properties from demolition.
Last June, during a Planning Commission site plan review of the Foundation's new building, Commissioner Genevieve Keller proposed a more formal memorial for the Compton House, asking Moje if space could be made to "commemorate and institutionalize the history of the Compton house.'
Moje responded by saying the house had been "severely compromised by its benign neglect over the years," and added that it had high levels of lead contamination. However, Keller then pointed out that she was not trying to discuss the demolition, but simply wanted to know if there was a way to incorporate a commemoration. Moje said they had been discussing the idea, but made no promises.
At the end of the meeting, Keller again strongly suggested that the house be honored in some way in coordination with the City's Historic Resource Commission.
However, city preservation planner Mary Joy Scala said she had not heard anything more from VMDO or the Foundation about plans for a commemoration of the Compton House.
Recently, the Jefferson Scholars Foundation announced it would be awarding fewer of its prestigious grants to incoming students, the result of a $50 million hit its $245 million endowment took during the fall due to the market crash. But that doesn't seem to have stalled plans for the new headquarters. Construction began in the fall, and the new LEED-certified facility is expected to be completed in January 2010. In fact, you can watch the construction on builder Martin Horn Inc.'s webcam at www.bricams.net/martinhorn/JeffScholars.
But, of course, for preservationists, the past is never past.
"I would love," former Preservation Piedmont president Aaron Wunsch recently lamented, "to see the calculation of savings if they'd kept that building."

Missing, Presumed Dead: RevolutionFriday, October 26th, 2012
I'm pretty pissed off. So pissed off that on Saturday I marched through London with 150,000 other folk who are angry at the way this country is being treated by the government. And now I'm even more pissed off that we were completely ignored by both the media and those in charge. Is because we didn't smash shit up? Because there was a football match that day? Or is it because 150,000 people closing roads in central London and marching past Downing Street just isn't a big deal? After all, back in 2003 approximately one million people marched through London to protest the Iraq war, and that still happened.
The facts are fairly clear: the NHS is being privatised, but apparently, not that many people care. In 2007 the American Filmmaker, Michael Moore, made a documentary investigating the state of insurance-led healthcare in the USA, and comparing it to the socialised medicine available in France, Canada, Cuba, and the UK. While the film isn't exactly unbiased, as a Briton I find the concepts covered in it as alien as Alien. Concepts such as: people with unrelated pre-existing conditions (such as thrush) being denied health insurance cover for cancer; patients being bundled into taxis mid treatment and abandoned outside charitable hospitals miles away, confused, disorientated, and still wearing gowns and ID wristbands; patients with severe respiratory illnesses contracted whilst volunteering in the clear-up post-911 having to pay hundreds of dollars for an inhaler; insured patients having to pay for ambulance expenses because the emergency response hadn't been pre-approved by their insurer.
Nah, scratch all that, those examples are disgusting, but they're also quite extreme. Personally, I find it abhorrent that in a developed country, with such national pride and a history of incredible achievements its citizens are treated with such contempt. Michael Moore seemed shocked that our prescription costs were so cheap and could cover so much. He was surprised to find that the only thing stopping a patient from leaving the hospital was the state of their health, rather than their bank balance. He was confounded by the idea that the cashier's desk in an NHS hospital serves to reimburse travel costs to poorer patients rather than to collect payment. I am shocked that this is not the case over the pond, and I am even more disturbed that we're starting to copy them.
Moore spoke to Tony Benn to ask about the history of the NHS, talking about the motivation behind it, and the love that the British people have for it. There was, however, one part which was especially poignant today, where he compared the NHS with democracy, saying that taking away our healthcare would be as ridiculous and incomprehensible as removing the vote:Benn: "They wouldn't accept the deterioration or destruction of the NHS." Moore: "If Thatcher or Blair had said 'I'm going to dismantle National Healthcare'-" Benn: "There'd have been a revolution."
Well where's our bloody revolution? Seriously? The public reaction to the current dismantling of the NHS by the Conservatives has been, quite frankly, pathetic. Some people blame the media for the lack of coverage, but honestly I don't buy that anymore. If there was a media blackout on the FA Cup, people would still find out the football results if they were interested; how can football be more interesting than your own health? There are even people working for the NHS who either don't know or don't care about the current threat to their employer; I know because I've spoken to them. I've had plenty of people ask me why I get so upset about this, and why I bother reading and writing about it. Well, I don't know about you, but if I broke my arm tomorrow I couldn't afford the bus fare to hospital, let alone the treatment.
People came up to us on Saturday's march and (genuinely) asked what it was all in aid of (maybe they were illiterate, I dunno, we had plenty of banners). Back in March there were nationwide vigils and I went to one in Southampton and was disgusted with how few people turned up; I even grabbed the megaphone to express my disbelief.
But honestly, what can we do? It seems that the only way to get media coverage is to destroy property, and that would be a wholly inappropriate response. I've tried telling people myself; I've blogged, tweeted, facebooked, accosted people in the street, written to my MP, attended events and rallies… what else can we do?

Post subject: Spinach & Avocado salad
From Elle (http://cuisine.elle.fr/elle/elle-a-table/recettes-de-cuisine/poelee-minute-d-epinards-et-avocat__2)
I read:
Poêlée minute d'épinards et avocat
500 g de pousses d'épinards
1 gros avocat pas trop mûr
1 piment doux « végétalien » (facultatif),
1 gousse d'ail
1 c. à café de sucre de canne
3 c. à soupe d'huile d'olive
1 c. à café de fleur de sel
1 c. à café de poivre moulu
Google's translation service renders it as:
Stir Fry minute spinach and avocado (I say: Quick Stir Fry of Spinach & Avocado
500 g shoot spinach (I say: spinach leaves)
1 gros avocat pas trop mûr 1 large lawyer not too ripe (obvious)
1 piment doux « végétalien » (facultatif), 1 "vegan sweet peppers (optional) (I say they say: 1 green bell pepper, orgainic (optional) [here optional means organically optional]
1 gousse d'ail 1 clove garlic
1 c. 1 C. à café de sucre de canne Coffee sugar cane (1 tsp. brown sugar)
3 c. 3 C. à soupe d'huile d'olive Tablespoons olive oil (3 T. Olive Oil)
1 c. 1 C. à café de fleur de sel Coffee fleur de sel (1 tsp. finishing salt)
1 c. 1 C. à café de poivre moulu Coffee pepper (1 tsp. ground pepper)
I never thought of stir frying a lawyer before and will let my readers, here at C&Z know if I like it.
First I've got to buy a large, not too ripe lawyer . . . hmmm!

How funny! I know those translations can be a source of a good laugh. Frankly, I wouldn't want a very ripe lawyer myself (LOL). I recall a moment when I wanted to clarify the meaning of a certain word with my french friends. I ran into the word salopette and asked "une salopette, est-ce que une petite salope?" which had brought a big laugh within the group. This was a french-anglo conversation group..............

Post subject: workable English translation?
I'll try for a more workable, but loose (hold the lawyer, please) English translation, with prep. notes, but don't hold me responsible -- I haven't tried the recipe. This is from reading the original French & looking at the photo & some changes I would make. I really may have to make this, it sounds delicious.
Quick Spinach Stir-fry with Avocado
1 lb trimmed, washed spinach leaves
1 large avocado, ripe but still firm enough to hold its shape
1 fresh chilli (I'd use a jalapeno, or if I wanted milder, a banana pepper)*
1 clove garlic
3 tblsp. olive oil
1 tsp. cane sugar (I think something like raw or turbinado sugar)
1 tsp. fleur de sel
1 tsp. freshly ground pepper
---my add: juice of 1 large lime or small lemon
* use a fresh red chilli to add some color
I'd use a non-stick pan & reduce the oil by half, or 2 tblsp at most.
The sugar, salt & pepper quantities seem like a lot.
Directions are how I would make this, in my own words rather than a translation.
Mix the sugar, salt & pepper together (or not, see above re: quantity) & set aside.
Pick over, wash & drain the spinach.
Thinly slice or dice the chilli, using seeds or not, depending on heat.
Peel the garlic & mince, removing center sprout if one is there.
Cut the avocado in half, remove pit & slip from peeling. Cut into large dice, toss with lime juice & set aside.**
**to prevent avocado from darkening & brighten the flavor overall
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick fry pan or wok. Add garlic & chilli, cook for a minute. Add spinach & cook until the leaves collapse. Add the avocado and lime juice & cook until avocado is warmed through.
Sprinkle with seasonings to taste & serve immediately. Makes 4 servings (so says original recipe)
Original recipe notes this as an accompaniment to shellfish cooked with ginger. I'd probably nix the ginger & saute a pound of peeled shrimp in a mixture of garlic flavored olive oil & butter, then use the greens as a bed for the shrimp & scatter chopped cilantro over all.
This would make 4 first-course servings, easily. But for a main dish, I'd say 2-3 servings.

ITHACA, NY—Soaring at 41,000 feet in the air, a team of Ithaca College physics students and a professor recently took photos from a flying observatory to help discover what makes up our universe.
A collaboration between NASA and other researchers, the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) provides key insight into the formation and evolution of stars and planets. SOFIA allows scientists to observe infrared light and collect data—such as never-before-seen images of Jupiter and the galaxy M82—nearly impossible to obtain previously.
SOFIA is made up of an eight-foot-wide, 17-ton telescope situated within a modified Boeing 747. While in flight, the cavity door of the plane opens, similar to a large garage door opening, to expose the giant telescope and capture images of space. A non-pressurized open area in the fuselage, or side of the plane, is then created to route the airflow over the telescope while the aircraft flies at 500 mph.
Luke Keller, Ithaca College associate professor of physics, is a member of the team assisting in the test flight series for the airborne telescope using an infrared camera system referred to as FORCAST (Faint Object Infrared Camera for the SOFIA Telescope).
"Astronomers and physicists are constantly looking for better ways to view space and learn about our environment beyond Earth's atmosphere," Keller says. "With SOFIA now in operation, we are going to see the universe in detail never before possible."
Keller is responsible for developing and testing the software used in flight to process and analyze data, assisting with optical testing, and collaborating on the development of the camera's calibration system.
The ability to image astronomical objects and environments at different infrared wavelengths enables Keller and his colleagues to analyze physical characteristics such as temperature and composition, thus allowing the scientists to watch dynamic processes taking place.
A total of 10 of Keller's students made contributions to SOFIA. Three of those 10 also had a chance to experience a SOFIA flight. Two recently graduated in May with bachelor degrees in physics and the third student will graduate in December also with a bachelor degree in physics.
- Casey Byrne helped the team prepare equipment, monitor software during the flight and observe real time data collection.
- Rob Lewis developed software that he was able to see while analyzing data from a previous flight after the telescope's low voltage issues restricted him from experiencing a flight on SOFIA.
- Martín Garay MacLean set up at the FORCAST control center during his flight experience to test observing modes for light and radiation sources. MacLean saw data coming in real time and kept a list of possible upgrades to the software to work on as part of his summer research internship.
Over the next 20 years, additional instruments will be installed on the telescope, each one designed to investigate targeted infrared wavelengths and capture even more detail from space.
For more information on Ithaca College's involvement with SOFIA and interview opportunities with Luke Keller and his students, contact Keith Davis.
SOFIA is a collaboration of NASA; the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft und Raumfahrt, the German agency that designed and built the telescope; and teams of scientists and engineers at more than 30 universities, laboratories, and research centers.

Kate Middleton is changing up her look for the summer.
As a brand-new week of July kicked off, the Duchess of Cambridge enjoyed a visit to Wimbledon.
Wearing a Dolce and Gabbana polka-dot dress, the proud mother-of-two quickly turned heads with her shorter hairdo.
U.S. & World
Before taking her prime-viewing seat in the royal box to watch Andy Murray compete, Middleton also took time to meet with some of the ballboys and girls who will be helping out with the round of matches.
She later met Wimbledon officials and players and revealed she's had some experience playing tennis. "Yes," she told one royal follower. "But not to any standard."
[NATL] Wardrobe Watch: Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge
Monday's visit comes after Kensington Palace confirmed that both Middleton and Prince William will take Prince George and Princess Charlotte on their tour of Germany and Poland.
"The Duke and Duchess are very much looking forward to this tour and are delighted with the exciting and varied programme that has been put together for it," a Kensington Palace spokesperson said of the five-day trip that kicks off July 17. "They have decided that their children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, will travel with them and we expect the children to be seen on at least a couple of occasions over the course of the week."
The statement concluded, "They look forward to a busy and impactful tour, and are grateful that they will have the opportunity to meet the Polish and German people--such important friends of the United Kingdom--as a family."
A palace aide also tells E! News that the Duke and Duchess weren't planning on taking their children on the tour. It's one of their last chances, however, to take a trip before George starts school in the fall.
In addition, the royal couple will visit the German Cancer Research Center and a former Nazi Germany concentration camp to meet survivors.

YouTuber ArtistArtorias has splendidly recreated the iconic Kakariko Village from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time using the impressive Unreal Engine 4. It's one of the best Unreal Engine 4 renditions that I've seen and everything has stayed near enough faithful to the beloved Nintendo 64 original. Be sure to give the video a watch below to see what's possible in Unreal Engine 4.

All the NPCs were abducted my aliens.
Cool project but I'm happy with the 3DS remake. Of course the original will always have a place in my heart.
The remake was good but Nintendo needs to just get rid of their IP's and let other people make them. This is beautiful and just amazing
Not really… The textures are weird. If Nintendo put this game out, y'all would go in on them.
The lighting effect are literally better than every game Nintendo has ever released. Too bad Nintendo can't get with the times.
I don't think the Wii U could handle this to begin with. Maybe the NX? Probably not, but there's still the possibility.
To an adult male gamer this is awesome. If you have an eye for design, or decent taste in general, then this isn't all that good. The textures are mismatched. The grass, wood, brick, and mountains look good and realistic. The trees and flowers look so fake. The stone stairs look like they were made of clay; the darkness of them don't make them stand out and look crisp, but they darkness makes them look murky. Link himself looks like an action figure or wax sculpture that was put into the game.
OMG!!! THIS COULD EASILY BE THE BEST REMAKE IF THEY PUT THIS ON THE NX!!! but ofcourse we already have 3d…. :'-(
this is really not that great. We've already seen so many of these from this guy, and he didnt even bother to change the shakey cam effect or the motion blurring, which, Im sorry, but Link isnt moving that fast, his steps shouldnt blur together. Hes not sonic. Sure the town is (mostly) faithfully recreated but it was a pretty basic environment to begin with, and he didnt do much to make it pop except put some puddles on the ground and make leaves fall out of the tree in the center of town. Meh.
What exactly make the original pop? Absolutely nothing, the npcs made it interesting. This looks great you fuck, this is a ONE GUY doing this in his free time not a whole development team getting paid.
If you don't think this is good for a 20 year old game getting remade, then you, sir, are an idiot.
It's not that great. The stairs look like they were made of some weird murky clay. The leaves, flowers, and trees look fake which is kind of a bummer considering how realistic and great the grass looks. Link looks like a wax figure inserted into the game.
The future of NeXt.
Links arms and hands look off
Tired of these tech demos using Nintendo characters. If this actually came out people will complain of the poor frame rate a spazzed camera angles…
Looks better than the original Wonderful 101 gameplay, Hyrule Warriors gameplay, and the current Star Fox Zero gameplay. Don't be a tool.
not a single blade of grass cut
I think I came a little bit
Poorly made give me a moment I need to laugh
Looks awesome, good job there!
I don't get hardcore male gamers. If Nintendo released this you guys would go in on them. Though because it's another person, "YASSS!! Slay Nintendo!" -_-
This guy has potential. The grass, bricks, houses, and mountains look good. Though don't praise him for the rest of the work. As great as the grass looks, it's disappointing that the trees and flowers look as fake as they do. The stone stairs… I get he wanted a darker look to make them pop in comparison to the mountains, but it didn't work. He should have made the mountains a reddish brown color. https://thevelvetrocket.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/oytagh-red-mountains-1.jpg The stairs should be the color of his mountains. Link should either be more realistic, or the world should be more cartoonish. Link sticks out like a sore thumb. I could see hesitating to make a realistic Mario because that would look ugly. Link is actually pretty hot though, so a realistic Link wouldn't be scary.
This just makes me wonder even more why Nintendo hasn't made an HD version of Ocarina Of Time by now? There's no Zelda game more worthy of the HD treatment.
This would bring me back to Nintendo, and it isn't the graphics, it's the love and work put into it all and I don't care what the fuck you all say, Nintendo is in game development just for the money now, Ever since around Skyward sword most of Nintendo's games have felt like quick ways to get cash. And also people want better graphics becouse it's 2015. And before you all start calling me a hater you all better get your shit checked becouse I guarantee I probably have bought and beat more Nintendo games then all of you. Hell, I pretty much have every main Nintendo character as a tattoo on me. Also don't try defending Nintendo's recent games becouse I've played them all and only a few felt like they were cared about during development.
Alright time for me to clear this up. I also use unreal engine 4 and while yes a lot of the effects are poorly placed it's not an bad in terms of design. He is i school currently learning the trade so for a someone new to 3d this is really not bad. Plus what none of you seem to realize is he has recycled a lot of models and textures from the UE4 asset store. I have ALL of the assets he didn't make in that video. I'm willing to bet he did what I did and took the link model from super smash melee and updated it and animated it. So considering that not everything was made in one style or by one person it looks pretty damn good to just be thrown together like that. He's working on kokori forest right now and I think that he took the tree house models from the n64 or 3ds version and is sculpting them and I'm doing the same technique for lake Hylia at the moment. Unless you know about design and the effort that goes into trying to recreate something so old I really don't think you have a right to call something crap.

Traethllyfn is a westerly-facing sandy beach between Porthgain and Abereiddy on Pembrokeshire's rugged north-western coast.
Traethllyfn is a fine beach, sheltered from the northerly and north-easterly winds, and its golden sands look very tempting from the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Footpath which passes along the cliff above. It is accessible from the footpath either from Abereiddy or Porthgain, approached via a precipitous flight of steps which daunt the faint-hearted walker. They are said to have been cut by Italian Prisoners of War working on the farm after World War Two.
The climb is well worth the effort for the sand is firm, the bathing safe and the scenery and the rockpools a delight to the eye and the imagination. A word of caution is required, however, for it is easy for the unwary to get cut off by the rising tide, while the cliffs should be carefully scanned for the potential danger of rock falls from the overhangs.
Treathllyfn has a link with the Celtic Christian monks and hermits who frequented this coast so close to the sacred settlement of St Davids.
Legend says that St Barre or Finbar sailed from Traethllyfn to Ireland to found Gouganebarra and the City of Cork, from where Columba is said to have sailed in penitence to Iona after a quarrel with Barre, whose name has been ever since associated with this part of the Welsh coast known as Ynys Barry (Barry Island).
The thought of a voyage along the dangerous coasts all the way to Iona in a small and rudimentary boat makes the blood run cold and speaks volumes for the faith and courage of those Celtic saints 2000 years ago.
The old path down to the shore takes one through an unusually thick layer of glacial deposit. On Penclegyr headland, just north of Traethllyfn, are the cliff quarries which once fed the insatiable appetite of Porthgain crushing plant with the hard, green igneous granite which was reduced to gravel chippings for the local roads.
The big hole in the cliffs and the remains of the tramway across the headland to the huge bins on the clifftop are silent now, but during the boom years the place vibrated with activity as a never-ending procession of steamships swallowed the thundering chutes of stone of several grades and took them to many points round the Welsh coast and over to Bristol and Watchet in Somerset.

Targeted Networking: How to Effectively Reach Out
November 13, 2009 at 8:34 am 22 comments
I recently posted an article here called "Looking for Networking in All the Wrong Places." I wrote that many job-seekers waste their time networking with people who can't really help them. My advice was to have a target list of companies likely to have jobs you are interested in based on your industry and job function, and to focus your networking activities on reaching the decision-makers in those companies. Many people have since contacted me asking for advice on how to actually reach out to those decision-makers – so below is a proven strategy on how to do just that.
[By the way … this blog article is actually the 3rd step in a 5-step networking process. To see all 5 steps, read "How to Network: A Step-by-Step Guide for Job Searching."]
The Two-Step Approach For Reaching Out To Your Targets
I'm assuming here that you've already developed your target company list, and that you've already identified specific people at those companies that you want to meet. I use a two-step approach. First, I send an intro email, and then a few days later I make a follow-up phone call. I will describe those steps in greater detail below … but first, consider what level of connection you have (if any) to the people you are approaching. Did someone give you their name, or did you find it online yourself – and if so, how? The absolute best level of connection is a personal referral. If you meet with someone who gives you a name in a target company and says "use my name" – then you're golden! The higher up the food chain your referring contact is, the better your response is likely to be. The next best level of connection is a common group or association – for example, you both belong to the same LinkedIn industry-specific group or Professional Association, or you both went to the same college, etc. (By the way – joining LinkedIn Groups specific to your niche is a great way to find people on your target list!) The third level of connection is simply that you share a common industry. My two-step approach is essentially the same for all levels of connections … but the opening section would be modified according to which level of connection you are approaching.
Step One: The Intro Email
The intro email (or LinkedIn message) I send has three parts. First, the opener that describes how I know the person. Second, my short "Elevator Pitch" describing my background and career goals. And third, a request for help. The key is to be brief, complimentary, and non-aggressive. I am NOT asking for a job. Rather, I am asking for help and advice. Here's an example of an actual email I've used:
Subject Line: Reaching Out – a Referral from (Full Name of Contact)
Hi (First Name):
I had coffee yesterday with a mutual friend of ours: (Full Name of Contact). (First Name) spoke very highly of you, and gave me your name and contact info, and urged me to reach out you.
I am an experienced Recruiter and B to B Account Manager. For the past 10 years I've had much success in the 3rd-party (independent agency) staffing world. My current focus is to use that experience to transition into an internal "Corporate Recruiter" role within a large stable company in the Cleveland-Akron area. This will allow me to concentrate on my passion for building and maintaining relationships with internal business partners, and to make more of a long-term impact within an organization. I am very interested in speaking and networking with anyone with experience in that area.
The reason I'm contacting you is that I would like to talk with you and find out more about your corporate recruiting experiences. Your help, advice and expertise would be greatly appreciated. Would you be willing to spend a few minutes with me on the phone … or even better yet, informally meet with me face-to-face at your convenience?
I'll await your reply. Thanks.
I sign it with my name, cell phone number, and a link to my LinkedIn profile.
Notice a few things about this email. It's brief. It starts with a compliment. It clearly says who I am, and what I'm looking for career-wise. And it clearly says what I'd like from the person I'm contacting (help, advice, expertise, and a few minutes of their time on the phone or in-person – NOT a job!!!) I've had a terrific response from this email. More than half of the people I've sent it to have responded within a day or two, and agreed to at least talk on the phone. Many invited me to meet in person. The specific feedback I got was that my email was engaging and inviting. It didn't put people off like so many of the other requests they receive from others asking for their time.
As I mentioned before, the first paragraph should be modified according to how I got their name. It might say: "We are both members of the 'Cleveland & NEO Corporate Recruiting Group' on LinkedIn. I reviewed your profile (very impressive!) and I believe that we have several areas of common interest. I hope you don't mind my reaching out to you this way." Or it might say: "While doing a search on LinkedIn for professionals our industry, I came across your profile (very impressive!) and I believe that we have several areas of common interest. I hope you don't mind my reaching out to you this way." Again, each level down is less likely to get a response … but you'd be surprised at how far a simple compliment about someone's profile will take you!
Step Two: The Phone Call Follow-up
If I don't get a response from the above email within three days, I pick up the phone and call that person (assuming I have a number for them.) More often than not, I'll get their voice mail – and I leave a message! My message says that I am calling to follow-up on the email I sent … and then re-states almost word for word the content of my email. I ask for a call-back, and make sure to say my call-back number twice. I don't call again after that. If the person doesn't respond after the two-step approach, I assume they simply don't want to talk to me and I feel it's best to move on. I don't want to be a pest.
Staying in Touch with your Targets
As you keep reaching out to and meeting with more and more decision-makers (or people who can refer you to those decision-makers) your network will grow larger and larger. And it will be made up of key people in your industry who all tend to know each other and are "well-connected." Again, the idea is to be in the right place at the right time – and more importantly to be remembered by those key people when a new and often unpublished opportunity opens up somewhere. Staying in touch with this network through regular emails or phone calls is also a critical part of making this process work. I try to send an individual follow-up email to each of my target contacts at least once a month. (Mass emails to a large list of addresses is a big no-no … send each person an individual email, and add a personal comment to each one if possible.) Follow-up emails should include any updates on your job-seeking activities, a list of every significant meeting that you've had since your last email, and a reminder that you are still "in transition." It's especially important to let a contact know if you meet with someone they specifically referred you to – and thank them profusely for that referral. [For more on the importance of following-up, read "Following-Up: An Essential Key to Success."] This entire process is a long-term strategy that can be very time-consuming, and it may not produce quick results (i.e. a job.) It will, however, position you well for long-term success in today's highly competitive job market.

This is one of the best written explanations of how to effectively reach out and network with professionals that I have seen!
Thanks for posting this!
Great tips. you may find this short video interesting as well…
Thanks Michael. Great Stuff! Keep on sharing, really appreciate your voice of experience.
Thanks for posting!
Mike – this is a VERY good explanation. I like that you put your professional touch into it, and it almost says word for word what someone should say.
FREE HINT: I would love to be able to add this to my delicious account so i could view it later. Consider adding some social networking things so others can market for you!
Sam Diener
Stuff for Success
Good Advice. I'm going to give it a try with a few companies and see how it works.
Excellent article Michael, and one that can easily cross over to a variety of other applications, from stategic partnerships to sales.
Michael – EXCELLENT article! I couldn't agree more, and it is advice I give job seekers except that you packaged it succinctly and specifically
I would like your permission to quote the information in your article. I believe that there is an 'honesty' factor. Older employees are more honest and there fore potential whistle-blowers.
Good blogpost, good looking weblog, added it to my favs!!
Great blogpost on how to reach out effectively. People often ask: should I attach my resume to that intro email? I say no, because as Michael rightly points out, you are NOT asking for a job and don't want there to be any confusion about it. If your contact subsequently asks for your resume to help them prepare for your networking meeting you have the chance to re-iterate that you are NOT asking them for a job which is the reason you did not send the resume to begin with. Then send it to them.
Great article as always. When I see an article by you I have to read it. You have established a great brand for your yourself.
Thanks for the great work.
Great information and definitely flexible enought to tailor it to a slightly different need/audience. I have a question that might be best shared via private email. Would that be possible?
Great advice. Thanks. Keep them coming!
Extremely helpful…thanks!
Agreed, thank you! I Evernote Clipped this to keep it in my back pocket for reference! You by far out-beat any "networking" seminar I took in college or thereafter. I'm glad I was on the right track with proper networking etiquette, but you definitely lay out the techniques. Me gusta!
What to do when you follow all steps and reach out with sincere interest in helping the other, but are never replied back to by that person or when the time comes for you to express interest in a company or lead he/she connected you don't hear back after you have given time and support?
Dear Michael Spiro,
Thank you for your valuable tips.
Question: if I already spoke to a valuable contact once, do you still recommend attempting to meet that person face to face for a stronger impression?
Best regards.

One of the enduring annoyances of research into human behavior is the fact that, under ostensibly identical experimental conditions—the same brain, the same stimulus—a subject can respond in completely different ways. Recently, evidence has been building that spontaneous brain activity can help explain some of this. Many areas of the brain show signs of rhythmic activity that appears to go on regardless of whether the brain is actually active; the activity even persists under anesthesia. Now, research that will appear in PNAS suggests that this spontaneous activity can influence how we perceive things.
The research relied on a type of image termed Rubin's faces vase, shown at right. The image can be interpreted as two faces (in black on a white background) or a single vase (in white on a black background). A given individual can look at the image many times in succession, and see different things each time or switch back and forth between perspectives during a single viewing. The researchers used functional MRI to track activity in an area of the brain called the Fusiform face area, which is involved in face recognition. Activity in the FFA was tracked for several seconds, until the test subject announced what they saw.
Starting about three seconds before the image appeared, the authors could often track a burst of activity within the FFA. The activity would generally die down by about two seconds before the subject decided about how to interpret the image. In those cases where the subject exhibited this activity, they were much more likely to show a second period of FFA activity that was associated with the subject announcing that the image was displaying faces.
Strikingly, when the authors analyzed the two peaks of activity statistically, the earlier one was as strongly associated with seeing faces as the one that occurred when the subjects made their decision. "These analyses also established," they write, "that FFA activity from the baseline period that precedes stimulation carries as much information about the upcoming decision as the epoch that contains the evoked response and the subjects' overt report of their decision."
The data suggest that we see faces in part because an area of the brain that's specialized in facial recognition is primed for activity. We see whatever it is that our brain, through its spontaneous activity, is ready to see.

FARMINGTON, Mich. – In a week and 1/2 Michigan's public schools will open.
The classrooms are being prepared across the state. This school year won't be too much different for the students, but it will be for the teachers.
In Farmington, teachers knew they had a choice: Fight or get involved. Teachers union board member Jeff Danziger said they got involved by taking the penalties out and putting more of the fairness in.
"It absolutely should not be punitive and when people feel that it is, you run into a different set of issues in building them to be the professionals to be for our students and community," Danziger said.
Dr. Michelle Harmala worked with more than 100 Farmington teachers to come up with what they call the Farmington Model, a test program to help teachers prepare for the new evaluations system.
"I tell my staff this is 'problitunity,'" she said. "They studied the legislation and then said, 'Wow, this is really powerful.' It could be about teacher growth, not just trying to decide who is effective and who is not."
Farmington came up with a two-tiered plan: 1. They are attacking the required elements of the MEAP for elementary and middle schools, the ACT for high schools and the Michigan Merit Exam for the 11th grade students and their teachers. 2. They also worked out a selected group of subjects allowing for what they call common assessments for less-testable subjects such as art and drama.
"It's a way to give everybody a chance to grow and become the best teacher and help the students sitting in front of them learn as much as possible," Danziger said.
The test programs are ongoing and it's likely that by this time next year the state will move forward with the program.

I plan to stop at the Tom Bihn store on the way from the airport, carrying my WF and copilot (packing lists to follow). I am even more excited about actually going to the store than I am about the three day conference. Woohoo!!! Meeting Katy et al. Aren't you jealous???
