Nurturing Sales Leads In a New Way by LeadMaster
Reading this could be the most profitable four minutes youâve spent on your business in a long time.
Why Nurture?
The definition of nurture is to help grow and develop according to Dictionary.com. Think about all the things youâve nurtured, or helped grow and develop, today. Youâve developed your career. Youâve nurtured your family. And maybe youâve grown a garden. Perhaps youâve nurtured your hopes and dreams for the future. Most people would agree that nurturing the important things is vital to success and happiness.
So then, why do many companies and sales professionals neglect to nurture the majority of leads that actually provide them with a living?
The statistics tell a sobering story. About 75% of all leads â leads that companies bought and paid for with their marketing dollars â are ignored by salespeople who eagerly harvest the remaining 25% of leads, which are the low-hanging fruit that converts easily and quickly. Then they wait for another batch of leads to come in and again snatch up a small fraction of prospects, ignoring the lukewarm or undecided leads that make up the majority. If youâre lucky, some of those ignored leads will eventually find their way back to you under their own steam and make a purchase, but most are lost.
Know Your Prospects
Whether your companyâs industry is competitive or not, you need a lead nurturing strategy to ensure that undecided, wavering prospects arenât lost. Touching them with an email contact at designated intervals can help maintain and grow their interest in your companyâs product.
So we invite you to spend the next few minutes learning how to rescue all those lollygagging leads with a sensible system of lead nurturing that combines automation with a very important ingredient for success â the human touch.
Lead Nurturing 2.0
Remember the auto-responder craze of a few years ago? Companies would create a 3-part or 7-part series of sales letters that would automatically ship on a predetermined schedule to leads who signed up. Sometimes it worked but often it didnât because the emails were oblivious to each leadâs unique differences and ripening time… everybody got the same form letter on the same schedule. And if they didnât act by email #7, it was often the end of the road.
Lead management today recognizes that individual and business consumers need to be nurtured in a more personalized way. Instead of one-directional messaging, we need to let them choose the information thatâs relevant to them. Would you rather get spam or a juicy, interesting newsletter you signed up for because itâs relevant to you? One message is desired, the other is deleted.
Lead nurturing 2.0 for the new era begins with the 4 âPâs.
The 4 âPâs of Lead Nurturing
1.Permission Marketing. Your lead scoring method has determined certain leads are not sales ready and require nurturing. But first, you need to ask their permission to send them your messaging so it isnât perceived as unsolicited email. This step is about respecting the customer and offering them the choice, which sets the tone for the relationship youâre about to nurture.
2.Preferences. This is where you determine what your prospect wants from you, how often, and in what format. You can offer them useful information and news thatâs meaningful to their interests. Include a variety of options, such as white papers, e-books, newsletters, online demos, webinars and in-depth needs assessments.
3.Personal. Drip marketing with email is a fine way to stay top-of-mind with prospects as long as you follow up in a more hands-on manner with phone calls from sales reps or agents who are trained to ask âyouâ questions and to listen more than they talk. This leads us to…
4.Pulling. The opposite of pushy marketing, lead pulling draws information from prospects so your sales team can then offer them genuinely relevant content and assistance as they are gently walked down the aisle toward a commitment.
Drip marketing can do a lot of the lead nurturing âgruntâ work. Itâs a great time saver that leaves your reps available to connect with prospects via phone and in person.
Tips for Getting Started
Choosing a lead management program that makes it easy for your entire team to get plugged in is one of the most important decisions youâll need to make before you can develop a lead nurturing strategy.
Most lead management software offers free demos or trial versions, which is great but can be time consuming for the decision maker. Here are a few tips on what to look for up front before you spend the next 5 weeks trying them all out. These are the features that make the job of tracking, managing and nurturing leads easier on your team and easier on your budget:
â Tip 1: Lead management systems that are web-based (cloud computing) have many advantages. They store your data on their servers so you can access it from any browser anywhere. Thereâs no hardware to invest in, no downloads, fast implementation, and significant savings.
â Tip 2: Find out if the program youâre interested in is accessible on mobile phones so reps and execs can access sales data anytime-anywhere.
â Tip 3: Look for a program that can import leads from a variety of sources automatically (landing pages, web forms, email leads, lead providers).
â Tip 4: Seek out a lead management company that offers auxiliary services like lead generation / call center services, appointment setting, etc. to fill your lead management system with prospects.
â Tip 5: Look for a user interface thatâs intuitive, logical, and easy to learn. This helps ensure your staff will get on board with it quickly and easily.
â Tip 6: Keep your eyes open for programs that can be customized to various industries. A program that uses industry terms will improve user adoption.
â Tip 7: Look for drip marketing capability that cues reps when to make personal contact, an intrinsic part of lead nurturing 2.0.
â Tip 8: Look for a provider that doesnât require a long-term contract, only charges you per employee on the system and lets you scale up or down without penalty.
â Tip 9: Find a lead management system that also automates the attachment to a drip marketing track. This way, you will ensure that all of your prospects will be touched on a frequent basis.
Marketing and sales reps agree that these are the most useful features in their lead tracking and nurturing efforts.
How LeadMaster Keeps Leads Alive
LeadMaster is a web-based system for lead management and sales CRM. As leads flow in they are automatically indexed for search and data mining. Then as sales reps follow up on the leads, a journal of updates records the sales activity for each potential customer. Dashboards and other CRM tools within LeadMaster let managers track the progress of every lead so none get lost or forgotten. This radically simple approach means more leads are handled appropriately, nurtured over time, and ultimately turned into sales.
Lead nurturing 2.0 is about encompassing an all-in-one-place software that manages a companyâs automated outreach while helping sales professionals stay on track with personal contact to develop customer relationships with meaningful and authentic prospect-focused service. This new style of lead nurturing ensures more of the leads your company bought and paid for will eventually reward you with a sale… whether next week, next month, or next year.
CMO of LeadMaster, Andy Brownellâs experience spans 20+ years in operations, sales and marketing working for Fortune 500 companies like Apple, Digital Equipment Corporation and Compaq as well as smaller companies and startups. Andy was one of the original founders of Stratitec, which grew from a startup to $100 million in cumulative sales in less than 10 years.

The Alist Chinatown World Tour is coming to Seattle. Got this news via Hip-Hop.net. You can click here for a bio on the artist himself, Allister Lee.
Goods and Manik are proud to present the work of Alist 'Chinatown'. The show opens Nov. 8th and runs through Dec 28th.
Visually rich, multi-layered, full of details and brimming with energy, Chinatown is Alists' preferred subject to gain inspiration while researching and executing his illustrative and creative work. His past clients include Nike, Stussy and Supreme. It's quite possible that you may find him amongst your busy Chinatown streets drawing quietly or continuing to explore new territory.
Alist has currently undertaken a self-initiated, eight city "Chinatown World Tour". The tour will document, illustrate and exhibit work that is influenced by each host cities' Chinatown District.
GOODS is the benevolent host of the Seattle segment of the tour which debuted in 2006 at the Reed Space in New York City. Other stops have included Nomad in Toronto and DPMHI Gallery in London.
A well rounded artist, who specializes in using low grade materials to produce high end results, his haunting large format depictions of Chinatown streetscapes and other illustration featuring staples such as bootleg merchandise and discarded Chinese packaging. Other imagery is depicted using silkscreen processes or layered vinyl sticker paper. Found packaging is recycled to construct garments. Tins, bottles, and boxes are re-branded and arranged to make sculptural arrangements of Chinatown grocery shelves and street curb rubbish. Awnings, meat hooks, bamboo steamer trays and other omnipresent Chinatown items are all given new context when presented within each Alist Chinatown World Tour gallery experience.

For a full-time teaching faculty member without administrative duties, the normal teaching load is twelve (12) credit hours per semester and twenty-four (24) credit hours per academic year (defined as fall and spring semesters), which is commensurate with the recommendations of the University's accrediting agencies and the Board of Governors. In determining semester hour loads, consideration is given to laboratory assignments, private music lessons, supervision of student teaching and coaching duties. It is also expected that a certain student credit hour production will be maintained in addition to the established credit hour load.
In addition to an assigned teaching load, each professor is expected to schedule a minimum of six (6) office hours per week for student consultation, except during advisement week and before and after exams. Service to the University is also an expected part of each faculty member's workload. Service load may consist of advising a student organization, committee service, and assisting at athletic events.
Off-campus and evening/weekend classes will be offered, when sufficient demand exists, as a part of the University 's mission to the service area. Faculty members are expected to share in a fair and reasonable manner in these teaching obligations which are often at other than preferred times and locations. Evening classes and instruction at additional locations will, in general, be considered a part of the regular teaching load. When off-campus teaching is by necessity in excess of the normal teaching load, additional compensation may be provided with the approval of the President and the Provost.
A report of teaching loads, office hours, and service assignments is submitted at the beginning of each semester. The office of the Provost distributes forms for the collection of these data. A report on plans for outside consulting requires prior approval by the Provost. Changes must be updated as they occur. In addition to this official report, each faculty member is expected to post office hours on his or her office door or bulletin board for student use, as well as other faculty. A directory of faculty schedules and office hours is published by the Office of the Provost each year.

Vinicius Cantuária
Live – Skirball Cultural Center 8/7/03 (Kufala Recordings Kuf 0043, 2003)
Brazil is a gold mine for musical talent. Every year new Brazilian musicians are brought to the attention of the international community. Some of them are here to stay, but others are excessively hyped, overproduced and their names quickly fade away.
Guitarist Vinicius Cantuária is an artist that has been around for a while, but he hasn't received the attention he deserves. He doesn't use recording gimmicks. Instead, his main strengths are his guitar technique, his ability as a composer and a great live performance. As many of his country mates, Cantuária combines jazz with Brazilian sounds, including bossa nova and samba, but he goes beyond easy to listen grooves. His guitar sound is similar to that of jazz experimentalists like Bill Frisell (whom he has collaborated with), with a clear Brazilian feel.
This live album, Live is one of the freshest live albums this reviewer has heard in a recent months. Cantuária
presents a set of pieces that range from dreamtime minimalism to guitar-percussion jams, intimate bossa nova and even Brazilian classics like "Carioca." The album was recorded on an August night in the hills of Los Angeles at the Skirball Cultural Center.

There are some sorts of treatment that can only be effectively offered from an inpatient treatment center in Delaware. People experience different emotions and kinds of addictions which only receive the best treatment at such facilities. These facilities in Delaware have been made available to more people than it was in the former days and this has ensured that more people are able to access them for treatment.
Any inpatient treatment center in Delaware offering treatment as well as other therapeutic services to the residents of this great state, end up doing a great service whose real value and impact is difficult to even quantify. The impact of these services runs across several sectors and aspects of life ranging from the social, economic, mental and even spiritual. Families have been healed just as much as marriages through the impact of Delaware inpatient treatment centers.
An inpatient treatment center in Delaware which is able to provide these increasingly essential services to the residents has been of such significant impact that people have noted some fundamental changes. Whereas many had given up on some of the people suffering from mental problems, while others were caught up in the web of substance addiction, the Delaware inpatient treatment center has seen to it that there is hope yet for them.
Most people who went to an inpatient treatment center in Delaware had, most probably, got to a stage in their lives where they were considered ineffective, unproductive and written off. Even their own families or close relatives and friends, gave up on them and never saw any good come out of their lives. This has been changed mainly through the cooperation of families, patients and the Delaware inpatient treatment centers.
The inpatient treatment center in Delaware is driven by the need and desire of seeing patients who had been struggling with addiction or other psychiatric issues get fully rehabilitated. The process of rehabilitation normally requires that an individual commits his or her time fully into the program of treatment that has been prescribed for him or her from an inpatient treatment center in Delaware. Completion of the entire treatment course enhances recovery.
An inpatient treatment center in Delaware has in-house physicians and other numerous clinicians who work together to ensure a patient is successfully rehabilitated. The recommendation of these physicians and clinicians is that patients need to be taken to the inpatient treatment center in Delaware closest to them as soon as is possible. They reckon that the longer it takes before commencing treatment, the more difficult it will be to ensure successful treatment and rehabilitation.
However, whatever time one gets into beginning treatment from an inpatient treatment center in Delaware, they still guarantee that as long as there is a determination and willingness on the part of the patient, accompanied with strong support from close family members, still increases the chances of successful treatment. Though the earlier the better it is to start out on treatment from a Delaware inpatient treatment center, the main idea is to get a patient into a treatment facility at all costs.

Apple,Disney enter the Streaming TV Market from some door
Apple and Disney, YouTube, Netflix,Amazon,Google for batter ecosystem !
Youtube is the most popular streaming video service ever known without any doubt and from last year Youtube began publishing YouTube TV where directly attacking the cable industry , YouTube even planning to provide families with local TV contents where will use Google Voice Assistant till we arrive and watch our favorite TV shows with no need of remote and lots of menus.
But the important reports a couple days ago reveals that Apple preparing to launch a streaming TV service next year. The TV streaming service will be available in 100 countries meanwhile Disney thinks to stream media TV services by providing programs directly to consumers.
From long time ago Apple trying to open the TV market but Apple relays heavily on hardware and recently Apple increasingly began to invest heavily in original content and by 2022 Apple will invest sum of 5.2 $ billion
in original content, this is really huge and proves that the technology giant will invest a lot of money in order to build their own media network.
From some side Netflix will invest $ 8 billion this year to produce original programs, Amazon's by its role investment has 100 million Prime users. Netflix, Amazon, Apple and Google heavily investing in batter technologies and developing their own ecosystems by understanding their users and provides them with high-quality services.
long-term investments think that the giant's technologies will keep launching media services and erode users of cable companies. and epically we saw a slow neglection of the traditional cable TV services.
However in last December Disney announced the 53 $ billion M&A with 21st Century Fox make them the largest media network and in August, Disney CEO Bob Iger promised that the prices of the new services will be quite competitive because Disney's contents will be converted into digital streaming channels, and this is not gonna be something stranger for Apple and Disney enter the TV market from the same door of the streaming TV market because they are already old friends.

Her husband Sir John Hutchinson (1615-1664) served as a military leader of Parliamentary forces during the English Civil War and, later, was among the commissioners who signed the death warrant of King Charles I. After the Restoration, a measure of leniency was shown towards him because of Royalist connections on his wife's side of the family, but he died in prison. Lucy wrote a memorable biography of her husband to vindicate his name. She and her husband were devout Puritans, and the book does much to dispel "many false impressions about the narrowness and austerity of the educated Puritans."
Order and Disorder, Canto 1:
My ravished soul a pious ardour fires
To sing those mystic wonders it admires,
Contemplating the rise of everything
That with Time's birth flowed from th'eternal spring:
And the no less stupendous Providence
By which discording natures ever since
Have kept up universal harmony,
While in one joint obedience all agree,
Performing that to which they were designed
With ready inclination; but Mankind
Alone rebels against his Maker's will,
Which, though opposing, he must yet fulfil.
And so that wise power who each crooked stream
Most rightly guides becomes the glorious theme
Of endless admiration, while we see,
Whatever mortals' vain endeavours be,
They must be broken who with power contend,
And cannot frustrate their Creator's end,
Whose wisdom, goodness, might and glory shines
In guiding men's unto his own designs.
In these outgoings would I sing his praise,
But my weak sense with the too glorious rays
Is struck with such confusion that I find
Only the world's first Chaos in my mind,
Where light and beauty lie wrapped up in seed
And cannot be from the dark prison freed
Except that Power by whom the world was made
My soul in her imperfect strugglings aid,
Her rude conceptions into forms dispose,
And words impart which may those forms disclose.
O thou eternal spring of glory, whence
All other streams derive their excellence,
From whose love issues every good desire,
Quicken my dull earth with celestial fire,
And let the sacred theme that is my choice
Give utterance and music to my voice,
Singing the works by which thou art revealed.
What dark Eternity hath kept concealed
From mortals apprehensions, what hath been
Before the race of time did first begin,
It were presumptuous folly to inquire.
Let not my thoughts beyond their bounds aspire:
Time limits mortals, and Time had its birth,
In whose Beginning God made Heaven and Earth.

Crash (France) – Fall 2013
Introduced in Terrence Malick's "The Tree of Life," the stunning Jessica Chastain is now a major figure in global cinema, collecting praise and awards with each of her big screen appearances. Now an ambassadress for Yves Saint Laurent, she tells us about her career, her future plans, and reveals her passion and love of fashion.
French audiences discovered you with Terrence Malick's "The Tree of Life." But can you tell us about your early career?
I think nearly everyone discovered me with that film, not just the French. It's the first film I did with such a huge audience. I wanted to be an actress ever since childhood. So I studied at the Juliard School in New York, where I earned an arts degree. It was an extraordinary time: I was surrounded on all sides by incredible artists. Then, after school, I started working right away.
What where the first projects you worked on?
I signed a contract with John Wells, a film and TV producer, and I started appearing in shows he produced, like "ER." I also had a small role in "Veronica Mars," and eventually got recurring part in "Law and Order: Trial by Jury." At the same time, I was doing theater and got a part in "Wilde Salamé," inspired by Oscar wilde play. I shared top billing with Al Pacino. And later the play was made into a movie.
How did you meet Terrence Malick?
When my agent gave me the script, there were tons of notes and descriptions. My character, Mrs. O'brien, was supposed to seem as though she came from another time and she had to be graceful. So I went to the audition, and there were a lot of actresses, but no Terrence Malick. I played a few scenes, read a few lines, and Terrence Malick saw the recording and wanted to meet me. So I took a plane to Texas and I had a second audition. I did a lot of them in the space of a few months.
It must have been a rewarding experience for you.
The best of my life. To play such a graceful and marvelous character, you have to open your heart a little more every day and work on these qualities in yourself. It was also a great experience from a professional point of view, since "The Tree of Life" introduced me to an industry that didn't really know me very well. Terrence Malick is a highly respected director.
How was he on set? Did he give a lot of directions?
He's very nice. Probably one of the nicest people I know. He's very open and intelligent, and also really funny! working on the film with him was a treat.
Do you think you will work with him on another project?
I don't know. It's hard to say because my character in "The Tree of Life" is the perfect embodiment of elegance and love. Playing another character in another film might clash too much with this one. Audiences might not like seeing the mother from "The Tree of Life" in a completely different role.
What' next for you? You shot a movie with Isabelle Hupert…
Yes, "The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby." It's actually two movies: "His" and "Hers." The first one, obviously, follows the male character, and the second the female character. Isabelle is in both films. We finished shooting three weeks ago, and the whole experience was great. She's a brilliant actress, and, even more importantly, she's so smart and funny. We taked a lot about theater, directors…
Would you like to work with any European director?
Yes, of course. I like French and European director in general. I love Olivier Assayas, Lars Von Trier, and Michael Haneke. One of my dreams is to work with him. I like setting challenging for myself. and if I only worked in the United States, at some point I would probably try fewer new things and stop looking to do more.
You are starring in the new Kathtyn Bigelow film…
Yes, it's called "Zero Dark Thirty" and it's set to be released on December 19th in the Us. It's a film about the group who hunted down Osama Bin Laden. I can't really talk much about it, because we're trying to keep the story a secret, but I'm playing a very strong female character. People are going to be shocked by the movie, by what they're going to learn from it.
You have been working with the biggest directors. Are you able to choose your roles now?
Of course I have more of an opportunity to do that now. But I get a lot of surprise. When Kathryn Bigelow called be on my cell, I was working on a project in Toronto. It was so unexpected.
Can you tell us about the Yves Saint Laurent campaign?
Of course! I'm the face of the Yves Saint Laurent perfume called Manifesto. I was pretty nervous by the idea of becoming a brand ambassador, because I really hav to believe in something I do. But I have so much love and respect for Mr. Yves Saint Laurent, even though I never met him. His way of seeing women was so modern, unexpected and sensual. When I think fo him, I think of Catherine Deneuve wearing a tuxedo an the red carpet. It's an honor to represent a brand like this.
How was your meeting with the Yves Saint Laurent team?
It was great! They're all artist and we talked about movies, art. The commercial was shot by Nicholas Winding Refn, who directed "Drive," and Mert & Marcus photographed the campaign. I feel like we're all part of one big family now. I'm really happy.
At the moment, you are acting in a play on broadway… Where do you sually live? In California or New York?
Most of the time I live in California, but I'm going to get an apartment in New York soon. I can't really leave New York because of the play, called "The Heiress," so it's just a lot easier to live here for now.
You seem like the type who is into fashion…
Definitely! I'm interested in very from of art, whether it's sculpture, cinema, painting, or architecture. Going to a fashion show is like going to an opening at an art gallery. I feel honored when designers want me to wear their clothes. For me, what count is the dress, the story the designer wants to tell. I love when designers trust me to take part in their story.
Are costumes important when you're acting?
They're extremely important. In everyday life, the way someone dresses tells you something about who they are. When you're feeling bad, for example, you dress in a particular way. When you're acting, it's really important to try to use all that. The way my characters dress in "The Help" or "The Tree of Life" already tells you something about who they are.

What gives people the nerve?
Why am I telling you all this? Because of this...
The other day I posted on all my yahoo groups a request for suggestions. Suggestions regarding the Podcast Rumble KAL and CAL I am trying to get started. Here is what I wrote:
Hello there everybody, my name is Marly and I put on a podcast calledI know there are a few grammatical errors in there but after it is posted you can do nothing about it...I didn't worry about it too much. Until, that is, I read this posted on the group:
Yarn Thing. I thought it might be fun to do a Knit-along and a
Crochet-along with the podcast and I am currently looking for idea's
and suggestions.
Not sure how it is all going to pan out but my initial idea's are as
Podcast vs. Podcast: have two podcast compete against one another
working on the same pattern. One podcast could be knitters and the
other crocheters
Knitters vs. Crocheters: again, working on the same project but
instead of including another podcast keep it "in house" if you will
Just good old fashion fun: don't make any contest out of it but pick a
simple pattern and let each person SPICE it up in any way they see fit
and let us all decide who's is the best...
Again, these are just suggestions and I am looking for more. So, have
a listen to my podcast and take a look at the podcast blog, leave me
comments as to what you would like to see or do!
Can't wait to hear from you all!

(I took off her name so I don't get into trouble)Re: KAL and CAL Podcast Rumble?
Forgive this fiber bug for being such a stickler with spelling but it
gives me a toothache when I see the 's which is a shortened form of
the verb to be as in "she's" for "she is" used in place of the plural
And so, no matter how many ideas you get, it is wrong to
spell "idea's" like you did twice, and also, "whose" project is best,
and not "who's".
Also I don't see what knitting and crocheting projects are doing in a
FELTING group.
Now for the contest thing, I see you realize that playing who-is-best
is somehow childish. Enough already with the competitive spirit. Find
another source of motivation. Allow anyone who wants to participate
to express themselves without concern for a putative jury.
Man, after I read that I felt like dirt. I couldn't believe that anybody would cut me down so deeply and not even know me! Over GRAMMAR! The next post was from another woman; I was hoping that she was writing to say that what was said to me was uncalled for:
> Forgive this fiber bug for being such a stickler with spelling but it(Again, left the name off on purpose) Oh man, I was in tears! I am not joking, streams of tears rolling down my face! How stupid I felt to actually be crying over something like this. But really, it hurt me! Why do people see it necessary to berate somebody publicly? What gives them the nerve?

Bravo for having the guts to point out these common errors! I was
roasted on another list a few years ago for having the gall to quietly
mention the same thing.
> Also I don't see what knitting and crocheting projects are doing in a
> FELTING group.
I disagree. Knitted and crochet objects are often felted, so to me,
this is not off base for this group.
> Now for the contest thing, I see you realize that playing who-is-best
> is somehow childish. Enough already with the competitive spirit.
Another nod of agreement here!
I didn't know how to respond. I was hurt and angry; but I knew that was not the appropriate way to address the situation. I wanted to leave the group immediately but again, that would be like letting them win. Instead, I wrote this:
I think that just about sums it up.Re: KAL and CAL Podcast Rumble?
First of all,
I would like to apologize for the spelling errors. Sometimes I make
mistakes...but don't we all. Next time, please point such errors out
to an individual in email, not to the group, please.
As for the crochet or knitting aspect of the post...I often crochet
items then felt them to make beautiful things so I did not think this
was out of line for a felting group. If I am incorrect, please let me
As for the competition, it was only meant to have some fun. Not for
validation or anything! And it is not to judge what project is
best...I was only trying to get a little friendly competition with
knitters vs. crocheters. Projects would not be judged. I don't even
know how all this will plan out. Thus the request for ideas
I understand that you are frustrated but I must say, that when I
opened my email this morning and noticed that you all had replied to
my post...I was excited to see that somebody had take the time to
write something. Only to quickly get my excitement replaced with
humility and sorrow. I am sorry I offended you with my spelling
errors and with the talk of knitting and crochet and with the friendly
competition. But please know, no matter how much you might have not
intended to, you did hurt my feelings. :-(
I have received a few emails from other members of the group telling me they are sorry for the words of the rude individuals and that is really nice! It is not everyday that perfect strangers stick up for you when a bully is putting you down.
I want to say THANK YOU to these strangers and let them know they really lifted my morale.
write such rude comments to people...
Rant Over :-) Marly

Austin- On the opening day of the Legislative Special Session, Rep. Helen Giddings (Dallas) commemorated Nelson Mandela International Day of Service by passing House Resolution 34. Each year, on July 18th, the world celebrates the birth of Nelson Mandela by devoting 67 minutes to helping others. This resolution honors President Mandela for his many contributions to peace and freedom around the world.
Surrounded by her colleagues, Representative Giddings expressed the importance of the day. "For 67 years, Nelson Mandela devoted his life to the service of humanity, as a human rights lawyer, a prisoner of conscience, an international peacemaker, and the first democratically elected President of a free South Africa. Nelson Mandela was a moral compass in a time of intolerance and turmoil. His struggle for justice and equality for all South Africans gave rise to greater freedom for people around the world."
In addition to her work as a State Representative and business leader, Rep. Giddings serves as the Honorary Consul from Texas to South Africa, promoting trade and cultural exchanges between the two regions.
In 1995, Representative Giddings had the privilege of meeting President Mandela when she led a Texas delegation from South Africa. She described the event as "an unforgettable memory that I will cherish forever."
HR 34 recognizes Nelson Mandela International Day as an opportunity to emphasize "the ability of individuals to effect affect positive change in their communities, and it serves as a continuing reminder of the legacy of Mr. Mandela."
A tribute to Nelson Mandela will also take place at the African American Museum in Dallas from 6:30 to 8:30 PM
Representative Helen Giddings proudly serves the cities of House District 109: Dallas, DeSoto, Cedar Hill, Glenn Heights, Hutchins, Lancaster, Wilmer, as well as part of Duncanville.

It's on!
Holy Moly has the exclusive first look at Katie Holmes's new ads for Miu Miu…and they happened to leak on the same day that Posh's Armani shots were released!
Coincidence or conspiracy?
Oh la.
Mrs Beckham will be furious. So furious she might just…
Eat something?
That only happens when David cheats.
But still…
This sh-t is so on.
So. On.
Because it's normally Victoria Beckham who is That Girl. The one who will come to your birthday party wearing higher heels, a better dress, with her own photographer and a spotlight operator to make sure her best angles are accentuated.
Victoria is the Upstager. Victoria is rarely Upstaged.
But Robo KatE…
She upstaged the upstager!!!
Can you believe it?
Katie Holmes with some fire? Katie Holmes with some bite?
Do you love it, or do you LOVE it?
Never mind that she looks demented in the photo! It only adds to the drama! That a demented-looking Katie upstaged a starving Posh.
My life is made.

H1N1 Update for Oct. 27
To: The Bates Community
From: Christy Tisdale, director of health services, and Tedd Goundie, dean of students
Date: Oct. 27, 2009
Dear Members of the Bates Community,
Our reported cases of Influenza-Like Illness (ILI) have slowed considerably. During the peak of the outbreak 97 new cases were reported over a two-day period. Since having seven new cases reported on Oct. 20, the day before the fall recess, we have had only four new cases reported from Oct. 21 through today, Oct. 27. Our total number of cases of ILI reported since the start of classes this semester is 271, including the 27 cases reported prior to our first confirmed positive case on Oct. 8.
To date we have vaccinated 999 students with either the nasal spray or injectable vaccine. Therefore of our total number of 1,714 students on campus this fall, we can presume 1,270 of them now have some degree of immunity, either from having the illness or from receiving the vaccine. There are only three students currently ill and isolated, with two of them staying home to recuperate after exhibiting symptoms during the break and the third self-isolated on campus; all other students who reported ILI this semester have recovered and are out of isolation.
We anticipate receiving another shipment of the nasal-spray vaccine for students in the coming weeks, and encourage any student who has not yet received the vaccine to get it. When the shipment arrives, we will notify you of when and where the vaccines will be administered.
The Health Center will continue with its daytime-only hours through this week, and will resume its normal 24-hour service beginning Saturday, Oct. 31.
Again we thank all who contributed to managing this outbreak, and encourage everyone to continue frequent hand washing, coughing and sneezing into sleeves or tissues, and reporting to the Health Center if you experience flu-like symptoms.

The methods and raw materials used to brew traditional British beers have remained virtually unchanged for hundreds of years. For this reason The Grainstore Brewery uses only the finest quality materials to brew its beers, with the majority being sourced from within the UK. A closely guarded combination of malted barley, brewing sugars, hops, yeast and water, all go to create a truly unique, well-balanced selection of traditional ales which build in strength and flavour through the range, with a moreishness that is a characteristic of Grainstore beers. The Grainstore Brewery uses malt made from 'Maris Otter' barley which is supplied ready milled by the Maltster. In the brewery, 'liquor', the brewers term for water, is boiled and treated prior to being 'mashed' with the crushed malt 'grist'. After an initial standing time of one hour, more hot liquor is 'sparged' over the mash and the sweet, sugary 'wort' produced is run off from beneath the mash tuns' false bottom, a set of slotted plates, into the 'copper'. Nothing is wasted as even the spent grains left in the mash tun go to a local farm to be fed to Dexter cattle and Old-spot pigs! Once the copper is full, the wort is boiled for and hour, with a blend of English 'whole' hops. These hops not only give the beer its uniquely refreshing bitter flavour and hoppy aroma but also have a mild preservative effect. After another hour, the wort is 'cast' into the 'hopback' over a second addition of especially fine hops. These hops, notably Fuggle and Golding varieties are used to enhance the distinctive hoppy aroma. The wort is rested in the hopback for twenty minutes and passed through a plate heat exchanger, and is cooled with incoming mains water. The resultant hot water is recovered and used for the next brew. The cooled wort is run into one of the cleaned and sanitised fermentation vessels ready to be 'pitched' with our own selected strain of yeast. Fermentation, which is controlled at 21 degrees Celsius, takes three days, during which the yeast converts most of the sugars in the wort into alcohol and carbon dioxide gas. Once the desired specific gravity has been reached, the brew is chilled down and matured at 10 degrees Celsius for four days before being racked directly into 11 gallon casks. As the beer is a 'live beer' i.e. still contains a certain amount of yeast, a small quantity of 'finings' are added to each cask prior to delivery to the publican. On reaching the pub cellar, the finings speed the settling of the yeast, which together with a secondary fermentation in the cask gives the sparkling clarity and condition expected of Grainstore Beers.
The Jolly Brewer... You will find You'll find us on the outskirts of the town centre but at the heart of our community! We are passionate about good quality, properly served real ales.

Sitting in the dark, writing this.
Eating chocolate chip cookies and a banana.
An hour later.
I've missed the countdown, like I miss most things in life.
First kiss, first love, first crush…
Great friends, having to kiss someone at the countdown…
No one will ever find out how dirty I really am….
No one will know my darkest dirtiest secrets…
I'll be left alone with dull pleasures that will lose their charm after I've done and outdone it all…
The pursuit of the purest greatest pleasure will cease,
Because there is the first and there is the last.
I fear that my first will be the last, or will never begin.
I choose to be alone.
As I did on New Year's Eve…
The comfort of my own empty house was so much preferable to spending the night in the cold, in the rain with a crowd of strangers next to those who call themselves my friends.
"It's not going to stop,
So just give up."
