They know what they're doing and they know what they're talking about, or at least it appears that way.Robert Bly says in his article over at Entrepreneur.com, "The world's top professional speakers aren't nearly as good as you are." What he means is that many professional speakers come across heavy on style and light on content.I

It's early, I know. But as we said in the off season, branding Melky Cabrera a 4th outfielder was extremely premature.Leading the Yanks with 5 HR and behind only HMat with a .506 slugging percentage, Melky is showing exactly the kind of growth one would hope from a 23 year old in his 3rd major league season.My feeling is that Melky could very well grow into a Bernie Williams. Comparing Melky and Bernie's 1st 3 years -Bernie Year 1 - .238/268/.350, Year 2 - .280/.354/.406 and year 3 - .268/.333/.400 (AVG/OBP/SLG).Melky has put up 1. .280/.360/.391, year 2 - .273/.327/.391 and .291/.356/.506 so far in year 3.It's not a huge stretch to project Melky with career numbers very similar to Bernie's .297/.381/.477.Bernie is in my top 3 Yankees of all time if not #1.

When we were taking a look at the new Digital SLR cameras for our recent Digital SLR Buyers Guide the Olympus E-510 proved to be a really impressive entry - except for one serious flaw. This small, fast, reasonably-priced 10 megapixel DSLR came with kit lenses that were also very small and much better quality than we normally see in kit lenses from the bigger players. It also featured Live View, which was pioneered by Olympus, body-integral Image Stabilization that worked with any lens, and automatic sensor cleaning, which was also pioneered by Olympus but which is now finding its way into cameras from all the makers.We were reminded how far the 4/3 system had developed with the E-510 and made a mental note to take a closer look at the Olympus E-3 to see if Olympus could finally fix their biggest issue. The E-3 is the Pro level DSLR which had been announced as a replacement for the four year old and seriously out-of-date E-1, and no there was never an E-2.I have toyed with the 4/3 dig

Wtf?The Entertainer (I Love New York) was interviewed by Rich of the VH1 blog and this is an excerpt.She called you a “loser” before she eliminated you. Did that hurt your feelings?Absolutely not. People try to hurt my feelings and knock me down all of the time. I laugh at those people.You know, I don’t have the greatest job in the world, I work for UPS and to be honest I don’t even work for them anymore. I ended up leaving them because they wouldn’t give me a truck because I was on the I Love New York show and it was just a whole bunch of drama at work, so I just decided to leave there. Right now, I’m actually delivering pizza. You can tell I have no shame. I could tell the whole world that I’m delivering pizza and I could care less if people make fun of me. I’m my own person and I’m gonna do whatever I want, that’s how I’ve always been. My whole life’s been like this, I never had money so, I could care less, it’s not a big deal.

Some women understandably wish from time to time that a baby could be delivered by Fed Ex. After nine months of hormonal changes, carrying extra weight and reduced movement many will want to just get it over. But the race is won at the final leg and Lamaze, Bradley or other options can help carry you over to the finish line in optimal shape.Women, obviously, have been giving birth for hundreds of thousands of years. The basic process has changed little over that time. But medical knowledge has grown by leaps and bounds.During the mid-19th century that knowledge consisted of a growing set of tools and drugs to minimize pain. By the mid-20th century, though, birth was almost something that happened to a woman and her baby, rather than something they did. Contemporary knowledge can help the expectant mother take more active control of her birth and deliver with the highest chances for her baby's health.The Bradley method was devised by Dr. Robert Bradley in the 1940s. The emphasis was, a

Online video content offers great opportunities for companies to deliver to users a rewarding and engaging experience. With the continual uptake of broadband users it is a known fact that online video streaming and online video viewing will continue to rise. A recent article 'The seamless video experience: how it's possible' outlined important considerations for publishers and content providers to consider when delivering online video content. The top 4 things outline in the article have been discussed below. Automatic bandwidth checkingBefore delivering the online video content, it is important for the service provider to detect the bandwidth of an individual user. This ensures that a user will have an optimal viewing experience with no hesitation of video content because the file being streamed is too large for the bandwidth. Auto pausing of videoProvide users with the ability to auto pause streaming videos as soon as another area is clicked. It often frustrates users as they view

Audi Q7 by JeDesign delivering now 500 bhpThe standard Audi Q7 4.2 litre delivers 350 bhp/440 Nm, has a stop speed of 151 mph(242 km/h) and does the 0-100 km/h sprint 7.4 seconds. Je Design helps the 4.2 litre engine and increases its power to 500 bhp/600 Nm. The top speed is increased to an impressive 169 mph(271 km/h). Also the sprint from 0-100 km/h is now achieved in 5.6 seconds. For the 3 litre V6 TDI, JE DESIGN is offering a power boost by means of a modified engine management system. The standard data of 171 kW/233 bhp and 500 Nm are being pushed up by the Audi specialists to 210 kW/285 bhp and 550 Nm, thus lending this powerful super ship greater supremacy. For example, the top speed goes up from 210 to 219 km/h. The acceleration from 0-100 km/h is improved from 9.1 to 8.4 seconds. These modifications also of course include a TÜV parts certificate. Customers also need not be concerned about complying with EE regulations.

Here's a PIZZADVICE for you about car insurance. If your child plans to use the family car on his or her part-time pizza delivery job, you'll need to check with your auto insurance provider to see if you'd be covered if your loved one were to get into a fender-bender in the line of duty. Insurance trade group officer Don Griffin is among the industry executives who would urge you to find out the answer to that before you hand over the keys to your teenager."If your child is delivering pizza as part of his part-time job and is driving your car for business then it's your personal auto insurance policy that's on the hook if there's an accident or some other incident that could result in a claim being filed," according to Don Griffin, vice president of personal lines for the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America, in Des Plaines, Ill.Griffin's advice?

On April 4th we launched the Bloggers Choice Awards (BCAs). The site was created for multiple reasons, but a primary driver behind the sites creation was the need to have a testbed for us to understand and demonstrate the power of our platform. PayPerPost offers a unique combination of benefits that make us unlike any other form of online advertising.Because of this it can be very difficult to measure the effectiveness of the platform when layered in with other media. While it is possible to measure direct clicks and impressions, it isn't possible to measure the indirect impacts such as word of mouth, brand awareness and traffic through third party search engines and content aggregators.The only way to accurately measure the true effectiveness is to create a site and use PayPerPost as the only media vehicle to promote that site and that is what we did. We started our campaign on 4.4.07 purchasing 190 posts at $10 each. 100 posts were filled within the first three hours of creating thi

I would like to provide a recap of our PayPerPost campaign to date. We started our campaign last Wednesday, purchasing 190 posts at $10 each. 100 posts were filled within the first three hours of creating this Opportunity. The Opp was neutral, 200 words, and had no segmentation requirement. We utilized Disclosure Badges for this opportunity which force "in-post" disclosure and provide us with a FREE graphical advertisement inside the post itself. We have also utilized the advertising space at the top of this blog since last Thursday evening to promote the site. This space is available for $1,000 per week (contact joe (at) payperpost (dotcom) if you are interested), that cost has been factored into our total media spend. On Monday we increased the amount of posts to 212 and we haven't made any additional spends since then.Our total media spend is now at $3,882.01 which includes $2,882.01 spent in the marketplace and $1,000 in display advertising on this blog. You can click here to fol

On Monday I started a series about the ROI of PayPerPost. You can find my previous posts here and here. I won't be recapping all of the same information so if you would like some background check out the previous posts. We haven't increased the number of posts for this opportunity, the cost there remains the same. We continue to run the advertisement at the top of this blog for a cost of $142.85 per pay ($1000 per week), this has been running since last Thursday.4.10.07 SnapshotTotal spend to date: $3,739Total visits to date: 16,401Total cost/visit to date: $.22Total registrations (action) to date: 2945Total cost/action to date: $1.27The lower the numbers in the above graph the better.

Yesterday I provided my first briefing regarding a campaign we put together to launch the BloggersChoiceAwards. PayPerPost is the sole media expense for this site. I plan on doing a couple of updates over the coming days as the site matures. I will summarize by total spend, total visits, cost per visit and cost per action. Moving forward I will provide a summary of the results to date and a copy of the graphs below.4.7.07 SnapshotTotal spend to date: $3,013.58Total visits to date: 4,578Total cost/visit to date: $.66Total registrations (action) to date: 920Total cost/action to date: $3.284.8.07 SnapshotTotal spend to date: $3,156.43Total visits to date: 6,876Total cost/visit to date: $.45Total registrations (action) to date: 1313Total cost/action to date: $2.40Yesterday I opened up some more slots, making the total available to date 212. I recommend this method of spreading your Opportunity over time. It gives you more exposure over several days rather than just one big spike. I also co

I am often asked about the return on investment an advertiser can generate with a PayPerPost campaign. Some critics dwell on search engine ranking as the platforms main benefit, and I want to put that to bed once and for all. While PPP undoubtedly delivers some SEO value, the true benefit comes from the awareness the platform can create when promoting a quality product or website.To prove this point we decided to launch a brand new site with PPP as its sole media driver. Last week we released the Bloggers Choice Awards. This "Web 2.0" awards site is designed to allow bloggers to select the best of the best in about 30 blog categories. It is a well designed site and has many social media elements that make it attractive to todays web user.We launched the site on Wednesday with a very simply Opportunity at $10. As you can see the opportunity is neutral, and we didn't require any segmentation whatsoever. I am very strong believer in neutral opps. We took advantage of the $.01 thumbnail

It's not much, but it's probably the most they can do without provincial cooperation on mandatory medical wait-time improvements.Tony Clement, the federal Minister of Health, unveiled what he called Canada's first ever medical wait-times guarantee yesterday, as he tried to breathe some life into the Conservatives' near-dead promise of a health warranty.Pregnant women on Aboriginal reserves would be assured almost immediate counselling, regular medical checkups and prompt service from specialists under the pilot project.It is to be offered on 10 reserves across the country, a meagre version of the proposed national system of guarantees that formed a key plank of the Tories' election platform. Mr. Clement said yesterday that provincial governments have so far refused to put in place a more comprehensive set of guarantees, but said he hoped this project would show the way.This is an interesting idea, although it'll do little to appease native groups angered by the rejection of the K

As much as 95% of all wireless broadband traffic is generated while wireless users are indoors. For instance, business users often shuttle from office to airport, to hotel, to customers’ office, spending only a relatively short time outdoors. Today, wireless data connectivity in these locations is provided by Wi-Fi access points, the benchmark for ease of use and performance that is nearly ubiquitous in airports, hotels and office.Does this mean that there is little meaningful growth in the Enterprise sector? Motorola believes otherwise.Motorola AXPT was designed to combine the best of Wi-Fi and cellular techniques, enabling mobile service providers to cost effectively deploy UMTS/HSDPA in a far greater range of locations.A Significant Growth OpportunitySuccessful mobile service providers already derive a significant amount of their revenue from the Enterprise market. Nevertheless, this segment is still underserved. Mobile service providers that offer a robust, convenient alternative
