Everyday I open my Comcast mailbox to check my mail.
Everyday there is a shopping sidebar with boots, jeans and handbag categories.
Everyday I only give it a passing glance, if that, and move on.
Everyday it shows the same pictures of the same items.
But today was different.
For some odd reason – maybe it's because the Moon is in the upper left quadrant, between New and third quarter, so the phase is waning crescent (or something like that) – but my eye lingered on that column today, and I found myself strangely drawn to these:
Ack! I hate UGGS. Or so I thought… I've been repulsed and repelled by them for years now and have been perfectly satisfied with my repulsion of all things UGG. But something about these drew me in and took hold of me and won't let go. I can't imagine actually wearing that sweater-type material anywhere where there is really snow (Think ugly acrylic sweater getting soaked in water). But since I live in the part of the country that seems to split snow-storms in half and never sees so much as a spittle of snow, I think they'd work. (And yes, I know they are made out of wool and not acrylic)
I think I am more in like with the Dusty Rose. The beige is a little too beige for me.
This is all a pipe dream. First of all, they are back ordered and secondly, they are $139.95 (Just add the extra .05 to the price people! You're not fooling anyone into thinking they are saving anything.)
On top of it all, I went to the UGGS site to link to it above, and found out they made these too:
I think these would be appropriate for wearing while I ride our thoroughbred horses out on our country home. In England.
And then these:
Perfect for walking the streets of Aspen or Breckenridge while doing some power shopping.
You know I am kidding.
There is no way I could ever ever ever ever justify paying $500.00 for a pair of shoes.
And I don't have horses.
Or a country home in England.
And the closest I've been to Aspen is driving along Interstate 70, through Colorado.
But listen up, UGGs People. This little lady, with a humble little blog would gladly review a lovely pair of your boots for you! I'm sure I'll garner waaay more attention for you than that little unknown who had them on some obscure Favorite Things list of her's.
Do you hear me!?!?

We report the case of a 17-year-old patient with recurrent hemorrhagic pericardial effusion, who was diagnosed with primary pericardial fibrosarcoma. However, multiple radiological examinations, including CT and [18F] FDG/PET-CT, suggested the presence of fluid and no sign of tumor. Actually, when a patient presents with recurrent hemorrhagic pericardial effusions, pericardial tumors must be taken into account as part of the differential diagnosis.

Unsolicited Faxes
The technology that makes it possible for us to send a document to another city almost instantly has given that same capability to mass marketers. As a result, many home and office facsimile machines have been deluged with unwelcome faxes. What can be done about it? Thankfully, there is recourse available to you, since the sending of unsolicited promotional messages via fax violates both state and federal law.
Georgia Law
Georgia's statute (O.C.G.A. Section 46-5-25) states, "It shall be unlawful for any person to initiate the transmission of, employ or direct another person to initiate the transmission of, or contract for the initiation of the transmission of an unsolicited facsimile message for the commercial purpose of advertising or offering the sale, lease, rental or gift of any goods, services or real or personal property." The Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC) enforces this law prohibiting commercial solicitation aimed at your fax machine. You may direct complaints to the PSC by telephone or by submitting the online complaint form on their web site. You can also reach them at this address:
Georgia Public Service Commission
Consumer Affairs Office
244 Washington Street
Atlanta, Georgia 30334-9007
Phone: 404-656-4501
Toll-free: 800-282-5813
Fax: 404-656-2341
Federal Law
The federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (TCPA) and the rules of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) prohibit sending unsolicited advertisements to a residential or business fax machine without express permission in advance from the recipient, or unless the recipient has a prior business relationship with the sender.
The Junk Fax Prevention Act, which Congress enacted in July 2005 to amend the TCPA, permits the sending of unsolicited ads only to consumers and businesses with whom there is an established business relationship involving voluntary two-way communication, such as an application or purchase by the recipient, or to those who have given prior permission. Additionally, the transmitter must include on the first page of the fax a notice informing the recipient how to opt out of any future fax advertising from the sender. The FCC has issued regulations for implementing these amendments, effective August 1, 2006.
The FCC's rules state that:
- The business, person or entity on whose behalf the fax is being sent must identify itself in the top or bottom margin of each page, or on the first page of the fax message, and must include its telephone number and the date and time the fax is sent.
- The unsolicited fax advertisement must include a clear and conspicuous opt-out notice at the top or bottom of the first page. This notice must inform the recipient of a cost-free method to request that no future faxes be sent to that fax number. It must include a telephone number and the sender's fax number for communication of the opt-out request. If neither listed number is a toll-free number, a separate cost-free mechanism (such as a web site or e-mail address) must also be provided. Opt-out requests must be honored within 30 days.
- An unsolicited fax advertisement may be sent to a recipient with whom the sender has an established business relationship if the recipient voluntarily provided a fax number. The sender may obtain the fax number directly from the recipient or from the recipient's directory, advertisement or web site (unless these sources note that unsolicited ads are not accepted at that fax number.) A sender possessing the fax number prior to July 9, 2005, and having an established business relationship prior to that date is exempt from these restrictions but is still subject to the opt-out requirement.
- The person or business on whose behalf an unsolicited fax advertisement is sent is liable, even if someone else physically sent the fax. A fax broadcaster who transmits messages to a fax machine on another person's behalf and who has "a high degree of involvement" in the sender's fax messages, such as by supplying the fax numbers of recipients, may also be liable.
- A fax broadcaster who is "highly involved" in the sender's fax messages must provide its name on the fax.
- The protections in the Junk Fax Prevention Act apply to faxes sent to stand-alone fax machines, fax servers and personal computers
- Although requested to do so, the FCC decided not to exempt small businesses and nonprofit trade associations from these rules.
To submit a complaint under federal regulations to help the FCC investigate which offenses are occurring on a broad scale, you may contact the agency at:
Federal Communications Commission
Consumer & Governmental Affairs Bureau
Consumer Inquiries and Complaints Division
445 12th Street, SW
Washington, DC 20554-0001
Phone: 888-225-5322 (888-CALL-FCC)
Fax: 866-418-0232
E-mail: email@example.com
You as a consumer can also bring a private suit against a violator of the TCPA and the Junk Fax Prevention Act for actual money losses incurred, or for up to $500 per violation. The court can also triple the damages awarded if the defendant willingly committed the violation.
No Call Law
If you have signed up on Georgia's or the federal Do Not Call List, please note that the laws governing these registries do not cover fax communications that come in over your phone line. Georgia's Do Not Call law specifically defines telephone solicitation as any voice communication over a telephone line for the purpose of encouraging the purchase or rental of (or investment in) property, goods or services.

The injury woes continue for Le'Veon Bell.
The Pittsburgh Steelers' rookie running back exited after one series of Monday night's 24-13 preseason loss to the Washington Redskins with a right foot injury. The Steelers announced that Bell would not return to the game.
It's a new injury for Bell, who returned to practice Friday after dealing with knee stiffness that kept him out of the preseason opener.
Bell was handed the ball on Pittsburgh's first four plays from the line of scrimmage Monday, gaining 9 yards. Jonathan Dwyer was in the backfield to start the Steelers' second possession.
Dwyer was the intended receiver on the Ben Roethlisberger swing pass that was intercepted and returned for a touchdown by Redskins outside linebacker Ryan Kerrigan.
It was a tough night for the Steelers' backfield, which also lost running back Baron Batch (stinger) and fullback Will Johnson (rib) to game-ending injuries.The "Around The League Podcast" is now available on iTunes! Click here to listen and subscribe.

Soon-to-be brides and grooms without a trusty wedding planner, we salute you. If you've decided to brave the planning alone, you may already be regretting the decision. The flowers, the cake, the venue and, of course, the dress – it can all get a bit overwhelming no matter how many Pinterest boards you've got on tap. But where it really gets tricky is when your guests' preferences are thrown into the mix (i.e. you have to decide what on earth to dress them in.)
Don't panic, our foolproof guide will help you avoid those pre-wedding dress code dramas. You can thank us later.
Dress the best man
There's a good chance the best man will feature heavily in the wedding album, so it's important not to overlook him when making your style selections. A top-notch ensemble is a must – after all, he's been chosen as the big day's number-one wingman. Simple, clean lines and high-quality fabrics are always the way to go, while a three-piece is a timeless option that works in any colour, from classic grey right through to tweed. To finish off the look, a statement tie, pocket square and watch is an elegant alternative to patterned waistcoats and silk cravats. Dapper enough to look sharp, but restrained enough not to show up the groom, not that that's possible.
Dress the maid of honour
Whether the big day is black tie, beachside or a simple garden party, there are always three things to remember when it comes to finding a frock befitting of your bestie – simplicity, simplicity and simplicity. With 90s-inspired minimalism back on trend, there are actually plenty of stylish options this season. There'll be no room for romantic-comedy bridesmaid dress clichés, so select chic, modern silhouettes that your right-hand girl will actually want to wear.
Dress the mother-of-the-bride
When it comes to style, there should be a new term for the mother-of-the-bride. What was once maligned as matronly has had something of an image overhaul recently and it's now definitely more than okay to step outside the (boring) box. Fashionable mums are leading the way, and like all good mothers do, striking the ultimate balance between keeping the best of old traditions (demure colour palettes and tailoring) and doing away with anything old hat (matchy-matchy ensembles that may or may not include an actual hat).
Dress the little ones
The most beautiful might always be the bride, but the most adorable… that honour goes to the mini wedding guests! Who can resist the chance to spoil the cutest little members of your wedding party with a tiny fancy frock or miniature tailored suit? Once you've sorted your own looks, co-ordinate details with theirs in subtle ways – for example maybe the page boy's pocket square matches the shade of the bridesmaid sashes, or if your dress has white beading, ensure the same delicate detail is featured on the flower girl's shoes. Don't forget matching accessories for that extra adorability factor – you won't regret it.

There's been a change of actors appearing at the Chicago Convention. Justin Chon is making an appearance while Kellan Lutz drops out. Keep in mind this is typical at most cons because actors' schedules change. ( Jackson Rathbone recently had to cancel an appearance with his band due to an episode of Criminal Minds that he picked up.) Make sure when you are signing up for a multi-day con there are other activities besides actor appearances, because those appearances are always subject to change. Alphie and Pel will be at this con doing several panel discussions.
Creation Entertainment, that currently has the San Fransisco convention planned, is looking to do events in a variety of other cities. They have several events planned for their San Fransisco con including special private meals with the actors. Check out their new cities here including Los Angeles, Parsippany, New Jersey, and Minneapolis.
The Summer school in Forks Convention has John Granger added to the speakers list. They have also added a promotion where fans can win an IPOD Nano by signing up. Check out their site

Ain't this the shit. So my girlfriend is from Puerto Rico. She's been over here in the States (Florida) working as a nurse for the past 2 years. That's all fine and well. She is a productive member of society. Well, about 3 months ago she decides to bring her youngest brother over here from Puerto Rico. Her and her mom didn't want him running around getting into trouble and figured the job market over here would be better, even for unskilled labor (it generally is). The idea was that he would get a job somewhere and work. It would take some time, but her plan was to get him started with some responsibility- such as paying a reduced portion of rent. Well, three months has gone by and nothing. I can count on one hand the number of times he's gone out looking. He never shows any fucking initiative and does anything on his own, the boy doesn't even own a pair of khaki's! When he does goes in he walks in wearing these baggy ass jean shorts with his boxers sticking out. It's no fucking wonder he hasn't gotten anything. And don't think I haven't brought it up to my girlfriend. She yells back saying that she works too and doesn't have time to take him every week. Hey, that's cool... but what about him getting his lazy ass off my couch and learning the goddamned bus route??
This is just a rant... comment if you like. I'm not expecting solutions or responses, just my displeasure with fucking freeloaders. Anybody else have similar experiences?

Hi Dean, you are already a member of the group, NOLA tennis. The group's name probably should be modified to make it clearer, but I don't have the authority. Good luck finding a partner! :)
Hi Dean, I see you are trying to create a group in the New Orleans area. We already have a group, NOLA Tennis, for which I see you are already a member. We are trying to avoid duplications in groups to help reduce confusion to our members. Unless your group is sufficiently different from the other, it cannot be approved at this time. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Joe B. (moderator)
Dean I have a lot of different partners, but I'd be happy to get out and hit with you once. If we are well suited for each other, we can meet again. I am a USTA 3.5 player. I play at Mayfield Village Racket Club in the Winter. Tell me about yourself as a player.
Thanks.Brian Stark

New Orleans was the major entry port for bananas coming from Central and South America back in the 1950's. Owen Edward Brennan asked chef Paul Blangé to experiment with bananas and find a novel culinary creation to promote the "exotic" imported fruit. Bananas Foster emerged as a hit dish and is still a New Orleans inspired favorite.

In a contentious effort to bypass the Republican-led House of Representatives, President Obama has embarked on a unilateral campaign to curb the impact of so-called climate change, in what could be a potentially fatal blow to the coal industry. The president's new energy policy, and the forthcoming regulations that will accompany it, could in fact terminate all blueprints for new coal-fired plant facilities.
The president's apparent desire to bankrupt the coal industry is part of a two-step process. According to James McGarry, a policy analyst at the environmental activist group the Chesapeake Climate Action Network, the EPA "is probably going to set standards that any new power plant that's built in the U.S. has to achieve a certain carbon dioxide emissions rate per unit of energy produced."
Those likely standards, which will potentially be unveiled in the coming weeks, could stamp out all plans to build new coal-fired power plants. "That's huge, because just to look at the numbers, coal fired power plants emit around 2,200 pounds per megawatt hour where a new gas-fired, natural gas power plant is about 900 pounds per megawatt hour," McGarry notes. "So in order for any new coal to be built in the U.S. in 2013-2014, they would have to have some sort of carbon-capture technology, which at the moment is economically unrealistic."
In recent years, many Democrats in Congress have sought to increase regulations on coal plants and other conventional energy-production facilities. In 2009, House Democrats (who controlled the chamber at the time) passed a landmark climate change bill that was ultimately shot down in the Democratic-led Senate. And now with Republicans controlling the House, efforts to pass meaningful climate change legislation will be an even greater challenge.
President Obama is clearly adopting a new strategy — that is, to rule by executive order, circumventing Congress and bypassing the Constitution's restraints on presidential power, as he has already done on a range of issues, including a brazenly unconstitutional power to detain and indefinitely imprison Americans who have not been charged with any crime.
"If Congress won't act soon to protect future generations, I will," the president continued in his SOTU address. "I will direct my Cabinet to come up with executive actions we can take, now and in the future, to reduce pollution, prepare our communities for the consequences of climate change, and speed the transition to more sustainable sources of energy."
Many environmentalists weren't ecstatic with Obama's "green" performance in his first term, particularly with regard to legislation intended to reduce climate change. One of the most valuable assets to the climate-alarmist community was Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) head Lisa Jackson, who during her tenure unleashed a flurry of new EPA regulations, before she resigned from her post earlier this month. And while environmentalists were dismayed over Jackson's resignation, Obama's nomination of Gina McCarthy as Jackson's successor seems to indicate a vast expansion in the EPA's regulatory regime. As the National Journal put it:
McCarthy, an Irish Catholic from Massachusetts with a thick South Boston accent, a ready sense of humor, and a tough-talking style, would come to the job after 30 years of working on environmental regulations at the state and federal level. During Obama's first term, as he and Jackson came under fire from Republicans for waging a "war on coal" by regulating power-plant emissions, it's been McCarthy who's done the real work of writing and rolling out rules. Some environmentalists have nicknamed her "Obama's green quarterback."
Furthermore, other environmental efforts the Obama administration has contemplated could add to the already damning regulatory burden on existing power plants. And Obama's energy agenda could be even more damaging if he, yet again, shrugs off TransCanada's Keystone XL oil pipeline, which would generate tens of thousands of jobs while decreasing Americans' energy dependence on corrupt Middle Eastern regimes.
While the economic impact could be immense, all this neglects to address the flagrantly unconstitutional use of unilateral action in enacting such regulations. As noted in Article I, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution, "All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States." Note that the Constitution does not say some law-making powers should reside in Congress. Indeed, asserting that all legislative powers shall be vested in Congress seems to indicate that none is left for the president.
Of course, beyond the unconstitutionality of the president ruling in such a manner, Congress neither has the authority to legislate these federal regulations, as they violate the Tenth Amendment of the Bill of Rights, which states, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
Meanwhile, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are preaching Armageddon over the looming fiscal "sequester," which is slated to shave some $85 billion off the federal budget, or less than two percent of the overall budget. But the less visible casualties of Washington's political agenda are the regulatory burdens now streaming through the pipeline.
Eighty-five billion dollars off the federal budget spells global catastrophe, lawmakers and political pundits say. But they neglect to mention the $100 billion that the EPA's newly-enacted mercury policy will cost Americans every year — not to mention the billions of dollars more that will emanate from the Obama administration's hyper-regulatory, and explicitly illegal, environmental agenda.

The sequence $a_{n}$ is given in this recursive form:
$$a_{n+1}=3\frac{a_{n}+1}{a_{n}+3} , a_{1} =a> 0$$
How does one show that it is convergent?
I tried to prove that it is monotone increasing and bounded by $\sqrt3$ but than I thought that it may be better to seperate into cases which $a>\sqrt3$ and $a<\sqrt3$,
Either way I did'nt get to a solution and wasn't able to write the proper Induction.

The 80th anniversary of the '32 Ford
One of the highlights of any rodder's life in the past few years was the 75th anniversary of the '32 Ford that was celebrated all across the United States, with events and gatherings to commemorate the one-year-only body style that has become the iconic representative of what a hot rod is.
One of those celebrations was an all-out party organized by the Petersen Automotive Museum, located on the Miracle Mile in Los Angeles, California. With an all-star rock concert and hundreds of '32s parked on all four floors of the museum's parking structure, many thought it was a high-water mark when it came to special events.
But five years later, with the 80th anniversary of the Deuce soon at its doorstep, the Petersen Automotive Museum again felt obliged to honor the vehicle with another grand get-together and again went all-out in its efforts. Initially the plan was to have a few tours and cruises to local shops, a concert, a charity auction, and then an informal car show at the museum. But as more and more people wanted to come, the event expanded beyond its original confines and soon the museum had another blockbuster on its hands.
It started on Wednesday, when Vintage Air sponsored a cruise from the Petersen Automotive Museum and up Pacific Coast Highway to the Mullin Automotive Museum—a world-class collection of the finest marques of European and American automobiles. The group then went on to Mike Malamut's Vintage Car Museum, which is full of fun (and odd) micro cars as well as postwar vehicles.
On Thursday, there were two cruises run simultaneously. One was a tour of Bruce Meyer's just-finished facility that houses his personal car collection, which then went on to Galpin Auto Sports, where owner Beau Boeckmann has spent years collecting cars and artwork of Von Dutch and Ed "Big Daddy" Roth. From there the group pressed on to the Nethercutt Collection, with 250 cars, including classic American vehicles (Packards, Cadillacs, and so on) and exotic European cars.
The other Thursday cruise also started at Meyer's private collection, but then this group of rodders drove to Bobby Green's Old Crow Shop, which is a spectacular hobby shop gone wild. Green's cars included his record-setting belly tanker parked on the back of a vintage car hauler. Next door is Hollywood Hot Rods, run by Troy Ladd. Ladd's shop is stuffed with customer projects, one of which is the AMSOIL/STREET RODDER Road Tour '40 coupe. From there folks traveled to H&H Flatheads, who specialize in vintage Ford motors. Their stash of engine blocks is mind-numbing, and inside the shop they have dozens of original foundry patterns that belonged to the late dry lakes racer Barney Navarro.
By Thursday evening everyone gathered back at the Petersen Museum Pavilion (an 18,000-square-foot tent located on the third floor of the museum) for an educational and interesting round table discussion moderated by automotive historian Ken Gross. Three panels of speakers covered the past, present, and future of hot rodding, with Tony Thacker, Alex Xydias, Greg Sharp, and Ed Iskenderian handling the "past" portion. The present was discussed by Roy Brizio, Pete Chapouris, Dave Lane, and Troy Trepanier, while the future was theorized by Troy Ladd, Chip Foose, Larry Erickson, and Stewart Reed. Each panel discussion was peppered with questions from the crowd, who also had taken advantage of a catered dinner.
Friday's festivities began late in the afternoon when Fender Musical Instruments sponsored the evening's charity auction and concert. A couple of Fender Stratocaster guitars, with artwork from Chip Foose and autographs by hot rod celebrities in attendance, were auctioned off for a total of $12,500. An autographed pedal car went for $3,000, and large event banner featuring Tom Fritz's artwork sold for $5,500. The big-ticket item, a '32 roadster built by Ron Atterbury back in the late '80s, fittingly sold for $32,000. All in all, the auction was able to generate $62,000 during the evening to benefit the Petersen Automotive Museum Foundation, a non-profit charity. But the evening wasn't over with the auction, as blues guitarist Kenny Wayne Shepherd and his band took to the stage and played well into the late-night hours.
But even with all that went before it, the biggest celebration was yet to come. On Saturday more than 300 '32 Fords drove into the museum's parking area in a show of force. No Model A's or T-buckets with Deuce grilles were allowed in, no '32 Chevys or Buicks—just Fords from 1932.
And nearly every type of Deuce was in attendance, from the expected roadsters and coupes, to sedans, woodies, deliverys, and a few unique European-bred '32 Fords. A section of the parking structure also had booths of manufacturers who carry Deuce-related parts, as well as a couple of fine artists who were offering their '32-inspired artwork for sale.
Though it didn't run a true seven days, Deuce Week did manage to stuff seven days worth of celebration into just four days. So will there be another grand event in 2017 to commemorate the 85th anniversary of the '32 Ford? Judging by the enthusiasm put forth by everyone involved in this show, you can probably bet on it. And, if you want to see more than 100 more photos from this event, you can find them at www.streetrodder.com.
There were hundreds of '32s that showed up for the one-day show, and this is just a sampling.
Many more cars can be found at www.streetrodder.com

Looks like the thunderstorms that have battered much of the country lately are still hanging around here today, and I think they are going to derail our plans. I guess that will work out for Hudson the wonder dog, as our presence will make this less miserable for her, though that's not to say she won't be miserable. Oh well.

We are a couple with 3 small children that have been more than reluctant to trust someone with this large of a life decision. We were blessed enough to get the name of Becky Daily from our Lender Sharon. Becky not only knows her job and knows it WELL.....but she is the perfect combination of sweet, serious, smart and knew when to play hard ball if needed. We almost lost our house due to another offer, but Becky knew exactly what to say to the selling agent for our offer to stick. Her great relationships and reputation made all the difference in our home buying experience. Our kids adore her and so do we. She is not just our agent, she is now our friend. We have referred her to many friends already and will continue to do so. If you want to trust someone with this large decision in life, Becky Daily should be your agent.by Shannon

Alyssa was diligent, personable, and professional. She worked tirelessly on our behalf, paid attention to the details, always kept us informed, and responded promptly to our calls, texts, and e-mails. Throughout the process, we knew Alyssa truly cared about us, and always had our best interests in mind. We would definitely utilize Alyssa's services again in the future, and strongly recommend her to anyone who is buying or selling a home.by Jeff

He and his team are the best! I highly recommend them.by Ashlie

I tweet, therefore I am; social networking is not bad
I was wrong. Way wrong. Way, way wrong.
After a brief, but intensive education by my friend Jeff Jarvis, author of "What Would Google Do?" and continued prodding by Kadro Solutions CEO Rick Johnson, I completely changed my opinion about Twitter. And I made a plan of action.
I registered. I obtained my name (Gitomer). I tweeted three times in the first 24 hours.
At the end of the first day, I had more than 300 followers. At the end of the first month, I have almost 5,000 followers. At the end one year, I hope to have 100,000 followers.
And I'm doing it without gimmicks, spam or reporting news (other than mine). I have a Twitter strategy and philosophy.
I bought the Web site, www.itweetthereforeiam.com, and immediately posted a picture of me, Tweety Bird (the original tweeter), and a few of my fellow staff members in full "Tweety" pose.
It also has a link to my Twitter page. It's for fun and attraction. Everything else I do has a link to my Twitter page, especially my e-mail magazine, "Sales Caffeine," and the front page of my www.gitomer.com Web site.
I intend to use Twitter to provide readers and followers with thoughts, help, answers and information they will find both useful and profitable — useful and profitable enough to re-tweet to their followers.
Here are a few examples of my tweets so far:
The strongest salesman on your team is a testimonial from a loyal customer. Testimonials are proof. Gitomer.
It costs no extra money to be friendly. How friendly are you? Gitomer
The importance of asking the right questions lies somewhere between sale and no sale. What are you asking? Gitomer
There's no prize for second place in sales. It's gold, or go home. Gitomer
The two best places for a sales appointment: breakfast and lunch. Relaxed atmosphere and no interruptions. Gitomer
You will succeed far greater at something you love to do. What do you really love? Is that what you're doing? Gitomer
Prepare to win, or lose to someone who is. Gitomer
Don't set goals, set intentions. Whatever you intend to do will happen. Without intentions, goals go unachieved. Gitomer
If you are consistently blaming other people, guess what, Bubba — it ain't them. Gitomer
If you believe in your company, if you believe in your product, if you believe in yourself, you will march to success. Gitomer
Failure is not about insecurity, or bad luck. It's about lack of proper execution. Gitomer
You control the most important tool in selling: your mind. Gitomer
Friday is the least productive workday. Most people slack off eying the weekend, and then complain about a lack of money. Gitomer
On Mother's Day, I tweeted: "If you have nothing nice to say about someone, say nothing." (Said by your mother.) Honor her today, she was right. Gitomer
Notice my name is at the end of each tweet. That's because those quotes are mine. I wrote them. I don't quote other people; I quote myself. When I get re-tweeted, I build my own brand and awareness and gain new followers.
Here are a few of my ideas for future tweets. Feel free to use them, or alter the strategy to suit your situation:
- Post a daily sales tip.
- Give information as to my travels and where people can register for my public events and see my live seminars.
- Post information regarding new ideas.
- Post personal recommendations of every sort — from restaurants to books, from people to places, from shops to hotels. Maybe even airlines. Maybe.
- Ask for information and help when I travel to a new city.
- Create local gatherings.
What is Twitter to me? It's a chance to deliver short personal messages to business connections and friends to let them know what I'm thinking and what I'm doing.
Like today, I tweeted: "Sunday: a day to reflect on what was, what is and what will be." Gitomer
What are you thinking about today? What are you writing about today? What are you blogging about today? What are you tweeting about today?

Twitter may be having one of the highest-profile initial public offerings in years, but its single largest outside shareholder has almost no online profile.
It's a firm called Rizvi Traverse, and its funds own 17.9 percent of Twitter pre-IPO, 15.6 percent after. It's a bizarre juxtaposition, considering that Twitter's business is based on people's communicating publicly.
But many sources say that Rizvi's low profile helped solidify its relationship with Twitter and secure its access to the company, as well as to other hot start-ups.
Rizvi and its funds have a stake that will be worth $1.7 billion if Twitter's shares are priced at $20—the top of its target range. The firm started investing in the social network at the end of 2010, and its funds have since drawn big-name investors, including JPMorgan, which through its investments will own a 9 percent post-IPO stake in Twitter.
Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal also invested in Twitter through Rizvi, and his Kingdom Holding owns more than 20 million shares.
