7 B2B Landing Page Best Practices to Increase Conversion Rates

It doesn’t matter how hard you've worked to increase your website visits or how complex the campaign that led visitors to your landing page was — when push comes to shove, it’s up to your landing page to convince visitors to take the next step.

When designing or optimizing your landing pages, weigh what you’re offering against what you’re asking for and make sure you’re adding value for your prospects before asking for anything from them.

Here are seven essential elements of high-converting B2B landing pages that you should incorporate into your design, copywriting and tactical execution.

7 B2B Landing Page Best Practices

1. Provide clear and concise header messaging.

More often than not, B2B products are complex and explaining the way they work is difficult. A clear value proposition with meaningful and direct copy can drastically improve conversion rates.

One of the best ways to do this is by using powerful words or invoking emotions that will resonate with your personas. Here’s a good example of this from WhenIWork:

This page clearly conveys what the company does and what challenges their solution addresses.

2. Provide a valuable tool or offer.

You can deliver a valuable offer to a site visitor in a number of ways — from content like a white paper, e-book or webinar to a more developed tool. Regardless of the method, make sure the content you’re providing in exchange for any information from a visitor is an equal exchange for your knowledge or expertise.

One of the best examples of a great offer that has withstood the test of time is HubSpot's Website Grader, which has been a backbone of its lead generation efforts for the entire life of the company to date:

In exchange for an email address, this tool analyzes your website performance and provides immediately actionable advice, exemplifying the idea of providing more value than you take.

3. Include a video.

An Business 2 Community article found that including videos on landing pages increased conversions by 12–86%. Visuals and animations can be used to clearly communicate the value proposition of your product or service and engage with page visitors, as demonstrated by Vidyard’s landing page pictured below:

The video explains the value proposition of the Vidyard GoVideo and then demonstrates some of the ways the product can be used and how a business can benefit from it. This allows viewers to visualize exactly how they can use the tool, and by incorporating the features discussed like an ending CTA the video acts as a proof-of-concept.

Increase your conversions and create exceptional landing pages with our Landing  Page Best Practices Checklist.

4. Use trustmarks.

Building trust is one of the most important responsibilities of an inbound marketer, and landing pages are a great medium to help you do so. You can build trust through the incorporation of customer logos, customer testimonials and/or partner testimonials.

Take the examples from Drift’s website below.

On Drift’s homepage, they display a collection of business logos from companies that use their chatbot. This instills trust by confirming their product is tried and true. If the viewer still isn’t convinced, they can visit the case studies page to get more stats or start a conversation with the chatbot that’s present across Drift’s site.

In addition to the case study page, Drift also includes testimonials on many other site pages. All of the testimonials feature quotes relevant to that page’s content, verifying the marketing information.

5. Provide clear CTAs (calls to action).

Wouldn't it be nice if your site visitors knew exactly what you wanted them to do next? Unfortunately, you can't expect site visitors to infer what steps you'd like them to take. You need to show them. This is where great design can become an asset in helping create the visual queues that will show a visitor the exact action you’d like them to take next.

Look at the example from scheduling software Deputy:

The call-to-action “Try Deputy for free” clearly indicates the desired action and stands out from the text around it due to its button format. Furthermore, the video below shows the software in use, conveying exactly what the site visitor would be getting by clicking on the CTA.

6. Remove navigation elements.

In many situations, you will want to remove the additional header and footer navigation from your landing page. There are some use cases, especially when using paid tactics, where this might not always apply. But generally, when linking from a call-to-action to a gated offer on your website, you don't want people getting distracted by your other site content.

If you’re browsing HubSpot’s resource library and decide to view the details on one of their resources, you’ll notice this tactic in use.

The landing page will open in a new tab, and the only thing on that page will be content framing the offer and the form to download it.

7. Use thank you pages to your advantage.

Finally, not using the redirect from your thank you page is a significant lost opportunity. The thank you page allows you to reintroduce the main header and footer navigation and give your prospect some key next steps, such as following through on the expectation and delivery of the promised content and having the opportunity to share your offer.

Here is a great example of an effective thank you page from Reward Gateway  that allows the visitor to download the offer and then engage further by subscribing to Reward Gateway’s blog:

The Takeaway

As with any optimization campaign, these seven tactics will work better for some businesses than others; be sure to carefully A/B test  your pages to see what resonates best with your prospects and drives the most conversions for you.

Sydenhams Wessex League admit that finishing the season is becoming 'increasingly doubtful'

Tadley Calleva have only played 11 league games in the premier division this season

AS we enter the second week of January, football teams below step 2 are unable to play matches because they are classed as being 'non-elite.'

Only elite level sport can continue in the current national lockdown and this leaves a lot of football clubs in the area battling finances.

Tadley Calleva, who ply their trade in the Sydenhams Wessex League, are just one of many teams who are unable to carry on.

Adam Clark's side currently sit in 11th in the premier division, but it is becoming more likely that the campaign will not be able to finish.

A statement from the league, said: "We held a meeting to discuss the current lockdown imposed throughout the country.

"It is apparent to us all, that with the restrictions in place any resumption of the NLS in a manner that provides the club with safety coupled with the ability to admit supporters and to have secondary spend, means that completing the 2020/21 season is becoming increasingly doubtful.

"To this end, we decided that as with Step 3 and 4, we will be issuing a survey for the clubs to complete that will give us the information that we can consider to assist us making our recommendation to the FA Council as to how we conclude the season."

The league also said that they will be meeting once the survey's have been completed to make a decision, along with guidance from the FA.

The news comes after the Southern League postponed all of their fixtures until March 6.

Both grassroots and youth football has also been halted because of the national lockdown.

Do not trust $ or photo on internet 4 this dealer

Reviewed by Joe customer in Richmond mnApril 22, 2021

When I walked into the dealership and mentioned I wanted to see this car the salesman told me it was available but the price was $5000 not $2600. Said it was a new computer system and it just randomly places numbers and photos. The car in the photo is not the car. The fact that this is still on the web proves the computer glitch is bs and the post low prices on the web to get customers in the showroom. Makes me question what else they are not above board in their practices. If you decide to shop here pay attention. I know I wont.

Awesome buying experience @ A.C.C.

Reviewed by NJC1684 in Jamestown, NDMarch 31, 2020

A.C.C. is by far the best dealership I've dealt with to date, it was worth the drive! The process was so smooth from start to end that it felt like I was dreaming! My sales consultant was Jon Maus, a true professional. Jon was able to locate the exact vehicle I was looking for, his approach was relaxed, his responsiveness was excellent and of course the price was very fair. The best part of the sale was that there were no surprises - none of the usual tricks, gimmicks, unnecessary fees or dealer add-ons! If you're in the market for a vehicle, definitely reach out to Jon at A.C.C.!

Misrepresentation and Deceit

Reviewed by Hannah Guyer in Mankato, MNAugust 28, 2019

I am not one to write reviews, especially negative ones, but I feel compelled to share my horrible experience over the past month at Albany Chrysler in hopes that it may potentially save any other person, especially another young single female first time car buyer, the stress, heartache, and money that it has cost me. Knowing full well that I am not a car expert and this being my first car purchase my original intent was to purchase a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle, which I expressed to Jon Maus, the sales consultant I was working with. He told me that in order to keep competitive prices, Albany Chrysler generally does not go all the way through with the certification process, but that all vehicles go through the same thorough CPO checklist and inspection before being put out on the lot. Everything was checked as "meets Chrysler Standards" on the checklist presented to me and I of course trusted that the checklist and inspection were done in an honest, thorough, and complete manner and decided to purchase the 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the peace of mind the inspection and checklist provided. This was not the case. Once I got off the highway and back into my hometown, I immediately noticed a noise and expressed my concern the very same week to Jon Maus. Although he did not seem to immediately share in these concerns, I decided to make an appointment at my local Jeep dealership to have it diagnosed, knowing the premium price I had just paid for this vehicle and that was presented to me as in great condition with no issues at the time of sale. My local certified Jeep dealership diagnosed the rear shocks as being in "horrible condition and leaking" and that the rear end of my Grand Cherokee was "all over the place" and it would cost me $1,400 dollars to fix. This clearly is in direct contradiction to the inspection report I was presented with and trusted, especially the specific line item that said rear shocks were meeting Chrysler standards. I of course contacted Albany Chrysler to make them aware, as I had hoped this was simply an oversight and honest mistake on their part. I was put in touch with their General Manager, Collin Power, who has not shared in this concern at all, which is simply not how a reputable dealership would address such a huge issue. This leads me to believe this is unfortunately not an oversight at all, but rather a case of deceit in order to make a sale. Collin Power is now asking me to pay more money to Albany Chrysler to have the car fixed and brought back to the condition that I was told it was in at the time of sale. This is not a case of something unfortunately going wrong after a used car purchase, it is a case of misrepresentation of the true condition of the vehicle in order to make a sale. The car that was presented to me at the time of sale was not the car I received, and this was clear the day I brought it home and confirmed less than a month after purchase by a different certified Jeep dealership. Albany Chrysler had a chance to fix the problem if it was a mistake, but they simply did not, leading me to believe they saw a young female first time car buyer who would be easy prey to take advantage of. I can absolutely NOT recommend Albany Chrysler to any potential car buyer. Additionally, I cannot recommend their service staff who completed the checklist incorrectly. All the lost money, time, tears, and stress I have dealt with are not the experience I expected buying my first car from a small certified Chrysler dealer and no one deserves this kind of treatment and total violation of trust and honesty.

Planned Parenthood shooter 'I am a warrior'

Posted at 4:49 PM, Dec 09, 2015
and last updated 2015-12-09 16:49:53-05

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — The man accused of killing three people and wounding nine others at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado stunned a courtroom Wednesday by declaring he is a "warrior for the babies" and won't go to trial.

Robert Lewis Dear, 57, made the outburst before he was formally charged with first-degree murder and other counts in a Colorado Springs courtroom.

Colorado Springs police have declined to discuss a potential motive in the Nov. 27 attack, but there had been mounting evidence to suggest Dear was deeply concerned about abortion.

He rambled to authorities about "no more baby parts" after his arrest. And a law enforcement official said this week that the gunman asked at least one person in a nearby shopping center for directions to the clinic before opening fire. The official was not authorized to publicly discuss the investigation and spoke this week to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

Dear has lived in remote locations without electricity or water and was known to hold survivalist ideas.

One of his three ex-wives, Barbara Mescher Micheau of Moncks Corner, South Carolina, said he vandalized a South Carolina abortion clinic at least 20 years earlier, announcing to her that he had put glue in the locks of its doors, a common protest technique among activists trying to shut down abortion clinics.

A first-degree murder conviction can lead to life in prison or the death penalty.

Killed in the attack were Garrett Swasey, 44, a University of Colorado-Colorado Springs officer who rushed to the scene; Ke'Arre Stewart, 29, an Iraq war veteran who was accompanying someone at the clinic; and Jennifer Markovsky, 35, who also accompanied a friend at the clinic.

Five other officers were shot and wounded in the rampage.

Colorado Springs Mayor John Suthers said Monday that responding officers rescued 24 people from inside the clinic building and helped remove 300 people from surrounding businesses where they had been hiding while the shooting unfolded.

Rex Ryan denies 'embarrassing' report about Geno Smith's conditioning

Jets quarterback Geno Smith throws a pass during

Jets quarterback Geno Smith throws a pass during training camp in Cortland, N.Y. (July 26, 2013) Credit: Hans Pennink

CORTLAND – It was only a matter of time before the question about Geno Smith’s conditioning came up on Wednesday. And Rex Ryan -- seemingly confused or completely taken back by the question -- could only offer a blank stare in response.

After making his only appearance in Cortland on Sunday, the NFL Network's Brian Baldinger said on air that Smith's conditioning was "embarrassing" in comparison to the Jets' other quarterbacks -- a claim that caught Ryan off-guard.

"I haven’t seen that in him,” the Jets coach said. “He seems fine to me. He looked good when he ran for 80 yards that one play. He looked pretty good.”

As for Smith, his reaction to the conditioning criticism was simple.

“I have none,” the rookie quarterback said. “That’s his opinion. You know my coaches are the ones who evaluate me so I haven’t heard that from them so I don’t have anything to say about that.”

Asked if he thinks he’s out of shape, Smith said: “No, I’m right there. I’m pretty good with it.”

While the rookie continues to impress on the football field, Ryan reiterated Wednesday that he’s still a tad concerned about the rookie’s tendency to hold on to the football too long.

“He’s got to get rid of it,” Ryan said. “If I could point to a negative, it might be we’re going to take some hits. But along those lines, he has confidence, he’s got poise and he’s hanging in there and then he’s very accurate with the football so he has been impressive.”

So will Smith’s strong arm automatically propel him over Sanchez?

No, said Ryan. But his rave reviews of the rookie made it clear there’s a definite difference in the zip of Smith’s passes vs. Sanchez.

“I think everybody gets enamored with a guy that can throw a 96-mile per hour fastball. There’s no question about it,” Ryan said. “But Mark certainly has a good enough arm to play in this league. He’s done it and so certainly he has a good enough arm. Geno, it does pop off like, ‘Wow, he can really throw it.'"

The coach was quick to point out that Smith’s arm doesn’t compare to Jay Cutler or Matthew Stafford, but, he added: “[Smith] can throw with probably anybody in the league.”

Protestors block trucks from dusty Northland road

  • 09/01/2017
Pipiwai Road protest dust trucks
Protesters set up four separate road blocks along Pipiwai Road.

Ten people blocked off a Northland road today in a fight to have the notoriously dusty logging truck route sealed.

Protesters set up four separate road blocks around Pipiwai Valley on Monday morning, an area they say is plagued by dust kicked up both water tanks and trucks.

They parked vehicles across Pipiwai Rd to deter trucks, but are letting locals through.

Police were at the protest, which was kept low key. Protest organiser Alex Wright says truckers may have been tipped off and taken another route.

Those truck drivers that did come their way had to reverse back down the gravel road.

Locals believe up to 50 trucks drive along unsealed routes every day, and don't think the council is doing enough to help.

Three years ago, the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) declined a $4.5 million funding request from the Whangarei District Council to fix the roads, calling it too costly.

The council instead opted to seal 100 metre sections outside homes to minimise the dust's effect.

One local protestor says that's not enough.

"It's affecting our way of life... It's horrific. We can't handle it anymore and that's why we're here today. We've tried all avenues."

Ms Wright says they're their new campaign won't stop until the road is sealed.

NASCAR team puts missing-intern bumper sticker on car

Friday, July 6th 2001, 12:00 am
By: News On 6

(Daytona Beach, Florida-AP) -- A NASCAR team is doing its part to try to find missing Washington intern Chandra Levy.

Melling Racing has put a bumper sticker with Levy's picture on the back of Stacy Compton's car for the Pepsi 400 race Saturday. It will be televised by N-B-C.

The idea came about when T-V's ``America's Most Wanted'' approached Melling's auto bodymaker about how to get publicity for the show and the search for Levy.

The sticker has Levy's picture and the show's telephone number, 1-800-CRIME-T-V.

Levy was last seen April 30th.

Locals help the abused

City Councilmen, County Supervisors help with heavy lifting

Chico’s Catalyst Domestic Violence Services has announced that it took in more than 4,000 pounds of food on Oct. 30 with the help of UnitedHealthcare, the Chico Chamber of Commerce, and a number of local businesses as part of a food drive, according to a UnitedHealthcare press release. Catalyst provides services to citizens who are escaping abusive domestic conditions.

The press release said a number of volunteers, along with Chico City Councilmembers Tami Ritter and Ann Schwab (pictured) helped load the food into a delivery truck that hauled it to Catalyst’s emergency shelter.

There are an estimated 1.3 million women who are victims of physical abuse by a partner each year in the United States, according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence.

Dedicated Aggresive
Legal Representation

The Attorneys at the Law Offices of Thomas L. Gallivan, PLLC provide effective, aggressive representation to individuals injured in the New York area. Our priority is to maximize the recovery of our clients injured due to the neglect of others.

Western New York Boy Scouts councils may have to sell their properties to contribute to a settlement fund for child sex abuse victims.

Of the approximately 82,500 child sex abuse claims filed against the Boy Scouts of America during its bankruptcy proceedings, almost 400 concern abuse that allegedly took place in New York, according to a recent report by the Buffalo News. There have also been 60 lawsuits filed in western New York, under the Child Victims Act, accusing “at least 38 former Scout volunteers” of child sex abuse.

One claimant is Scott Miller of Hamburg, New York. According to the Buffalo News, Miller has filed an abuse claim in the Boy Scouts bankruptcy proceeding as well as a lawsuit in Erie County, levying allegations against the  national Boy Scouts organization, the United Methodist Church, and the Greater Niagara Frontier Council. Miller told the Buffalo News that he’s disappointed with the current settlement proposal under the lates Boy Scouts reorganization plan, which would settle child sex abuse claims with $120 million in funds from the national organization, $425 million in funds from local Boy Scout councils, and “at least $625 million” from the Boy Scouts’ insurers.

Recent data indicates that SUV ownership in NYC increased 21% between 2016 and 2020.

A trove of data about SUV ownership in New York City, obtained by street safety advocacy group Transportation Alternatives, reveals that New York City residents “are buying SUVs at an increasingly high rate, and larger vehicles are contributing to more cyclist and pedestrian deaths” in the city.

A recent observation of New York’s drivers found that 70% were speeding.

A recent study by street safety advocacy group Transportation Alternatives has uncovered an epidemic of speeding in New York City, finding that 70% of drivers observed were driving faster than the speed limit. “Speeding drivers are a leading cause of death and injury on New York City streets,” the study notes, but because city officials “do not have control over speed limits,” New Yorkers are left woefully unprotected from the raft of dangerous driving. One possible solution to the epidemic is a bill currently under consideration by the New York State Legislature, “Sammy’s Law,” which would give New York City the power to control its own speed limits.

A new survey reveals Manhattan pedestrians’ dissatisfaction with sidewalks in Chelsea and Hell’s Kitchen.

A recent survey Manhattan Community Board 4 revealed widespread dissatisfaction with the sidewalks in Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen and Chelsea neighborhoods, according to a recent report by StreetsBlog. The Community Board surveyed a total of 960 responds, 10% listed as having disabilities, and received 4,909 comments. The average age of the respondents was 52 years old, and 80% of respondents lived in zip codes associated with Community Board 4.

In a recent filing in the Boy Scouts of America bankruptcy proceedings, the organization disclosed information requested by attorneys for child sex abuse victims.

The Boy Scouts of America’s local councils possess a total of roughly $3.3 billion in combined net assets, according to court filings described in a recent report by NBC. The disclosure followed arguments by attorneys representing victims of child sex abuse in the Boy Scouts that without information on the local councils’ assets, they would be unable to evaluate the fairness of a settlement proposed by the Boy Scouts. In a previous filing, the Boy Scouts has stated that local councils “would contribute at least $425 million into a trust for abuse victims and would assign certain insurance rights in return for being released from further liability,” according to NBC.

New York lawmakers are considering reducing the legal blood alcohol limit from .08 to .05.

The New York state legislature is currently considering a bill that would reduce the legal blood alcohol limit in the state from .08 to 0.05. If the bill becomes law, New York would be the second state in the nation to reduce the legal blood alcohol limit to .05, after Utah. According to a report by the New York Post, advocates for the legislation say it “would save countless lives.” According to Bronx News 12, the new law would also reduce the legal limit for Aggravated Driving While Impaired charges from .18 to .12.

The legal blood alcohol limit used to be .1 when state houses across the country began reducing it in response to “concerns about deadly drunk driving,” according to the Post. It’s been almost a decade since the National Transportation Safety Board recommended a limit of .05, with only Utah following the advice.

A new analysis found that only 15% of drivers involved are prosecuted in car crashes resulting in pedestrian or cyclist deaths in Long Island, New York.

A recent analysis by the publication Newsday found that in Long Island, “few drivers involved in crashes that kill pedestrians and bicyclists face criminal charges.” In an examination of car crashes that resulted in the deaths of involving pedestrians and cyclists in 2019 and 2020, Newsday found that there were 135 total pedestrian and cyclist fatalities, but only 20 prosecutions of the drivers involved, resulting in a prosecution rate of 15%. According to Newsday, that rate goes up to 30% when crashes involving “environmental conditions or pedestrian or bicyclist error” are excluded.”

According to a recent report, Staten Island is on track for its third straight year of increasing traffic deaths.

A recent article in the Staten Island Advance analyzes the upsurge of traffic deaths that have occurred on Staten Island in 2021.

Former Boy Scouts who filed child sex abuse claims against the Boy Scouts are seeking more information about local councils’ role in a proposed settlement.

Later this month the judge in the ongoing Boy Scouts of America bankruptcy proceeding will rule on an request by former Bout Scouts for the organization to disclose information about how much its local councils will contribute to a settlement fund for abuse victims. Continue reading

New data shows that 25 people were killed by road violence in New York City last month.

Twenty-five people were killed in road violence incidents in New York City last month, in what StreetsBlog describes as “the deadliest April since Mayor de Blasio took office in 2014,” during “the second deadliest year for road violence” during his administration.

The Last Astronaut

The Last AstronautThe Last Astronaut by David Wellington
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An excellent, well-crafted novel that mixes science fiction and horror with masterful results, THE LAST ASTRONAUT is full of adventure, mystery, and terror. In some ways, it reminds me of Jeff VanderMeer’s ANNIHILATION, with its human characters trying to make sense of completely alien surroundings, and in other ways it reminds me of a haunted house story, where the farther our characters explore, the more its secrets are revealed — sometimes terrible, sometimes awe-inspiring, and sometimes inexplicable. David Wellington has done a fantastic job not just with his use of realistic science but also with creating something so completely alien that it seems insurmountably unknowable. I hope this novel gets the attention it deserves. It’s one of Wellington’s best yet.

The Scariest Part: Mark Sheldon Talks About SARAH KILLIAN: THE MULLETS OF MADNESS

This week on The Scariest Part, my guest is author Mark Sheldon, whose new novel is Sarah Killian: The Mullets of MadnessHere is the publisher’s description:

Have you ever woken one morning with a burning, insatiable desire to go out and kill someone?

Sarah Killian, notorious serial killer for hire, and cohort assassin, Mary Sue Keller, are back on assignment for the Trusted Hierarchy of Everyday Murderers (T.H.E.M.) After receiving an ominous warning from a mark-gone-wrong, it becomes clear that Nick Jin — Sarah’s former nemesis — is still at large and singling Sarah out.

Sarah and Mary Sue are dispatched to Tennessee to discreetly kill off an accused family of KKK organizers, but their true mission is to lure Nick Jin into a trap. But will Nick Jin — who always seems several steps of T.H.E.M. — see their bait for what it is? Either way, one thing is guaranteed: blood will be shed.

In the spirit of Sidney Sheldon, Dean Koontz, and Joss Whedon, The Mullets of Madness is a truly unique blend of horror, suspense, and espionage.

And now, let’s hear what the scariest part was for Mark Sheldon:

When I wrote the first book of the Sarah Killian series, Sarah Killian: Serial Killer for Hire, it was not an easy headspace to get into. Being a violent sociopath, Sarah is not exactly a pleasant corner of my psyche to explore. And the fact that it was written in first-person narrative made it even harder to disassociate myself from the character and her point of view. I had to take frequent breaks from writing the first book to work on other projects just to clear my head and get into a healthier head-space, so to speak.

The second Sarah Killianbook, The Mullets of Madness, went much smoother — I wrote it in one go without taking any breaks — probably partly because Sarah’s targets in this book were alleged KKK members as opposed to high school students, so her moral justification was slightly easier to swallow.

So, for my own sanity if nothing else, I tend to try to steer away from the introspective analysis of where Sarah comes from in my mind. It’s also why I gave her such a snarky edge — she had to be someone that you hate to love, otherwise she just wouldn’t be readable.

That said, Mullets of Madness lent itself some nice opportunities for gore as I expanded on the world that Sarah lives in, and one in particular comes immediately to mind.

In the first book, we learned that Sarah works for a secret organization of professional killers for hire — the Trusted Hierarchy of Everyday Murderers (T.H.E.M.) T.H.E.M. contracts Professional Serial Killers (P.S.K.’s) such as Sarah to perform covert contractual killings. When on assignment, Sarah will be placed into a community for months — sometimes years — at a time establishing two separate personalities: the “dupe” persona, the everyday person she pretends to be while on assignment, and the profile of the “killer,” who will commit the murders and then disappear at the end of the mission, to be forever labeled an unsolved crime. The covert necessity of Sarah’s assignments makes the Sarah Killian books a unique blend of slasher horror and espionage.

In The Mullets of Madness, I got to explore what happens when T.H.E.M. needs to dispose of a body that they don’t want to be found. While on assignment, Sarah gets attacked in her hotel room by an agent of her nemesis, excommunicated T.H.E.M. assassin Nick Jin. Sarah manages to thwart the attempt on her life but is left with the inconvenience of a corpse that the hotel’s housekeepers undoubtedly would have some questions about.

Fortunately, T.H.E.M. is always prepared. I admit I took an unhealthy macabre delight with inventing the Bond-esque gadgets that T.H.E.M.’s extraction team utilized to dispose of the inconvenient hotel room corpse — in fact it’s one of my favorite examples from both books of how horror and espionage can be blended together.

The morning after Sarah’s attempted assassination, two inconspicuous, blond-haired, blue-eyed, business-suited men with briefcases arrive at Sarah’s hotel room — the Yuppy Aryan Twins, as Sarah refers to them. While Sarah nonchalantly watches Saw on pay-per-view, the Yuppy Aryan Twins proceed to remove various tools and gadgets out of their briefcases, which they then use to dismantle the corpse, piece by piece. After each body part is removed the Yuppy Aryan Twins place the appendage into a device similar to those vacuum-suck-storage bags you can buy on infomercials, except these are a little more heavy-duty than the as-seen-on-TV models. With the T.H.E.M. model, you place an average-sized foot into the bag, and the vacuum compresses it down to the size of a tennis ball, which can be easily transported off of the hotel property without raising suspicion and properly disposed of elsewhere. Then all that’s needed is a bit of cleanup, and not even a Dateline blacklight would yield any clue that anything had happened in that hotel room.

Despite the difficulties with getting into the right headspace for Sarah, writing these books has been a rewarding experience and I look forward to further exploring how horror and espionage can be merged in the next book.

You might've heard of Little Red Riding Hood's Zombie BBQ before; after all, a classic fairytale character blasting zombies to pieces should be almost guaranteed to get your attention. Chances are, however, that you never saw the game in stores — this is because the game never actually saw release in Europe, so the only way to get it would be to import.

Those who waited patiently have now been rewarded as the full, uncut game is now available as a DSiWare download for a measly 800 DSi Points. Nintendo and their A Little Bit of... series should take note!

The premise is simple. Storyland, the place where all fairytale folk live, has somehow turned into a land of the dead. Zombies roam the streets and various storybook characters, like Little Red Riding Hood's granny, the three little pigs, Pinocchio and even Santa Claus, have all turned into demonic versions of themselves. The only characters that are still human are Little Red "Ready to Rock" Riding Hood and Momotaro (Or Momo Taro, as the game spells it), the mythical Japanese boy who was born from a peach. Logically, they join forces to restore Storyland to its former glory.

The gameplay is quite simple: as either Red or Momotaro, you walk upwards through the level, blasting all enemies that come at you. At the bottom of the screen are seven blue squares, which represent the spots you can stand on. You can move between them with the D-pad or A and Y buttons (allowing lefty flip), but you can also touch the squares with your stylus to instantly move to them if you're in a hurry.

By touching and holding a spot on the touch screen other than the squares for about half a second, your character will begin firing in that direction. Your default weapon is a machine gun, which has infinite ammo; however, that doesn't mean reloading is unnecessary, which is done by lifting your stylus. As you progress through the levels, you'll also get the opportunity to break barrels and crates, which reveal additional weapons like a shotgun, laser beam and flamethrower. These all have limited shots, so use them wisely. They can be selected by tapping their icon, which will appear in one of the top corners of the screen.

Finally, you also have a grenade launcher with limited ammo, which can be fired by quickly tapping a target on the touch screen twice. Red and Momotaro also have a few physical moves — should a zombie grab them, you can break free (and instantly kill the zombie) by tapping your character. Tapping your character when free will make them crouch and allow them to dodge certain projectiles.

After every few stages, you'll have to deal with a boss. These offer a bit of a challenge and will require some strategy to beat, as they have an arsenal of different attacks to deal with. Just look for the visual cues and act accordingly!

The game wastes no time in ramping up the difficulty. After just a few stages the amount of zombies will have increased drastically, and there will be other obstacles to deal with as well. Luckily, there's both Normal and Hard difficulties to choose from (as well as an Extreme mode after beating Hard, for the true masochists) so if you're not exactly confident in your zombie-slaying skills, you can start off easy. Beating the game will also unlock further modes, such as a boss attack mode.

The game's music isn't "good" in the sense of being catchy, per se, but it's definitely good for laughs — rock music makes any fairytale hilarious. The graphics weren't too impressive for a retail game, but now, as a DSiWare game, they definitely are. The standard enemies and player characters are 2D, but the main menu, levels and bosses are all 3D. The retail game actually even suffered from some framerate issues, which developer EnjoyUp has managed to remedy for this release.

The retail game was already budget-priced, making it a great deal, but at a mere 800 DSi Points this is an even better one. Some might find that there's not much variety in the gameplay, but when it's this fun, who cares? Europe never got the original retail release, so you should definitely seize this opportunity and snag up this great little game for cheap.

'Jersey Shore' Season 5 premiere recap: Vinny needs his mommy, and bad

pauly-d-jersey-shore-season-5.jpgPauly's dying for an American-style cut. The "after" is much the same.

With no time to spare for special appearances, book signings or chasing boyfriends down cobblestone streets, the temporary expats of "Jersey Shore" head out of Florence like it's burning.

And there's no hiatus. It's off to the plane, where Snooki's Poughkeepsie is conveniently marked on the flight map, and off the plane into Seaside and The House. Where Vinny proceeds to hug his bed and scream like a little girl, Snooki noting that no one should take hers because she peed on it. A helpful note for anyone who actually wanted to rent out the place in the off season.

As Ron says, Italy was like "boarding school," Jersey a waiting, welcoming mother, not unlike Vinny's own. Profound thoughts such as these are quickly thrown aside in favor of Ron Ron Juice, Snooki's pickletini (did not they not have pickles in Italy, at all?) and a triaged version of Gym-Tan-Laundry: TGL, mandated by the "40 days" tanorexic Pauly.

Slamming Florence for its lack of acceptable barbers, Pauly is relieved to get the plaster cast on his head tapered up by about a millimeter. The Situation opts for what at first looks like the Mayan calendar to be shaved into his scalp, and Vinny goes with a tamped-down fauxtail with a pointy end, presumably to draw attention to his pasty nape.

And before the group has even headed back to work at the Shore Store, we return to Snooki's Jionni debacle, one that seems like it's now two years old, but actually isn't. This is handy, because when Shore Store Danny invites them to what turns out to be a surprise welcome home party, she's faced with not only Jionni but also Ryder, The Unit and Mike's unquenchable thirst to recall the night he claims to have hooked up with Snooki.

"The ultimate creep," also known as Vinny's Uncle Nino, makes his rounds saying he loves everybody, offering a bit of comic relief before awkwardness ensues. Clearing a space between Jionni and Snooki is Vinny's mom, hugging her as if she's a long lost daughter, when she actually cheated on Jionni with Vinnny. Snooki hugs back, and probably wishes the woman sent a lasagna instead of her actual self.

While Snooki finds herself immersed in the consequences of bad choices, Vinny, reuniting with his mother and family, is bawling, "In shock, I think, for the first time in my life," he says. It is the root of an existential crisis.

The Unit, looking like the grinning, mean older brother in an after-school special, is glad to be on Mike's team. And maybe in more ways than one, as Sammi not-so-subtly infers. Or maybe that's Mike, on Team Unit. He's offering the guy face wash, disrobing in front of him, probably making him just a tad uncomfortable.

the-unit-jersey-shore-season-5.jpgTHE Unit

"We about to … go downstairs," Mike says. And suddenly we're glad for the Snooki thing again.

"This is Hurricane Situation and it's heading straight for Snooki Island," a wide-eyed Situation says, hoping they use it for the season premiere trailer (they did).

At this point, who cares if Snooki did hook up with Mike (Though JWoww is, to her credit, being the good little reporter, asking for both sides of the story). Mike wants the world to know it, because he wants to be the center of attention and be right about something, finally. It took him a few weeks to totally recover from that self-inflicted "head rush" against Italian concrete. He's back to his old situation-starting self.

Ryder, Lady of the House, meaning "Vinny, The Unit, now Pauly," as Sammi notes, ticks Deena off to no end, because, as everyone knows, Deena wanted to "do sex" with Pauly. Sitting on the edge of the bed where Pauly and Ryder are … canoodling … staring into space as if she can stop time by doing so, Deena finally consents to leave.

"Whatever, I'm happy, awesome," she says, secretly vowing to snatch a girl from Pauly's bed later this season. Pauly almost demurs, noting that Ryder had smushed Vinny -- his brother in Chapstick and push-ups -- which is kinda weird. But he ultimately acknowledges the answer to the Ryder problem is all in her name. (Yeah buddy, etc.)

"Everybody ride her, just like a bus ride," offers Vinny, approximating a Jay-Z lyric, before spouting another term for Snooki's friend: "guido bingo!" But soon after talk of MetroCards and riding buses has subsided, Vinny becomes pensive. Out on the roof, wearing thick-rimmed glasses, he is back to that existential crisis of his, the one where he misses Mommy and Staten Island terribly. Ron frets.

ryder-jersey-shore-season-5.jpgHow will she ever live it down ... or was that the whole point?

Deena's always good for suggestions. "Wanna do sex?" she offers, "… I mean, with a hooker."

The scene out at Aztec isn't helping things.

"It's a war out there," says Pauly, and he's right. Vinny slowly strides the boardwalk planks back to the house like a soldier that's seen many, many things. Like grenades of an advanced age, exploding right in front of him. They've tried their darnedest to battle -- at least to beat up the beat -- but failed oh so miserably, at everything.

"I don't want anybody to be in a funk," laments Deena, pointing out that if Vinny's in a funk, she might get in a funk, and that's no blast in any glass.

Jionni, perhaps thinking that the sun will come out, tomorrow, starts Mike a tab of drinks, and they're both calling each other nice guys. Snooki's all WTF.

"Why does everyone say that to you? You're not that nice," she tells Jionni. This is the girl that says she never apologizes (even though she made an exception for The Unit), smushed Vinny shortly after Jionni hightailed it out of Florence, and ragged on JWoww because she wasn't supporting her decisions, including the one where she smushed Vinny.

Vinny's funk, meanwhile, turns to anger and straight up rage at not being able to function in his shore environment.

"I wanna go home," he says, cuing guitar music with lyrics about "making choices."

Here we go.

The Host

Kyle and I went to the Riverview Theater in Minneapolis last night to see the Korean movie The Host, about a big monster created by dumping leftover chemicals in the sewer. The monster itself was pretty scary, but the movie, overall, was a bit peculiar, as the director kept insinuating that things might be happening that you'd expect in a horror movie, that were then just tossed aside as non-issues. On top of that, the government didn't seem that interested in catching the monster, although they talked about it a lot, but was more concerned with just driving around in private contractor fumigation trucks and letting some family worry about the issue on their own.

The Riverview Theater, however...very nice. I had never been there. It's huge. It shows second run films. And it costs $3 for the 11 p.m. show, and a medium popcorn and soda, which are the size of a large at my theater, cost $5...not each, just $5. $8 for the show and so much popcorn and soda I thought I was going to be sick. Bargain. Except for the guy behind us laughing uproariously through parts of the movie, just a great experience.

And Mean Mr. Mustard might be excited to learn that on June 1st and 2nd, at midnight, they'll be having a Buffy the Vampire Slayer Sing-A-Long, tickets available now. There will be 1.) singing, 2.) interactive audience participation, 3.) Buffy-oke, 4.) a trivia contest and 5.) evil bunnies. He's not big on audience participation I bet, but evil bunnies and Buffy musicals are certainly his thing. Tickets are only $10, and it's not that far from his place. "Once more with feeling!" Mean Mr. Mustard, "Once more with feeling!"

Are the highlighting Buffy the movie or Buffy the series? Because if it's Buffy the series, I might have to consider that! I've almost been late to meetings recently because they started from the beginning of the series again....(6am on FX!)

Cord Sentenced On Sexual Assault

Cybulski Hands Out 40 Years, 35 Suspended

David Joseph “Joey” Cord, 25, was sentenced in Roosevelt County District Court in Wolf Point Feb. 12 after a jury found him guilty of sexual assault on Sept. 13, 2019. Cord was found not guilty of sexual intercourse without consent.

According to charging documents, Cord was observed coming down the stairs at the victim’s home in Culbertson on Sept. 21, 2018, with no pants on, holding his penis. The victim, a minor under the age of 16, told investigators that Cord entered her mother’s room on the evening of the assault and woke her up. She told Cord to leave. But was allegedly told to “shut up.” It was at that point that the sexual assault occurred.

Pursuant to statute, Cord was facing a minimum of four years and a maximum of 100 years, unless the court found good cause to impose a lesser sentence.

During the trial, Roosevelt County Attorney Austin Knudsen told the jury “mistakes were made” by Roosevelt County Sheriff’s deputies during the initial investigation. He said deputies failed to collect physical evidence at the scene of the crime, failed to secure the scene for evidence collection and failed to interview the victim on the night of the assault or administer a sexual assault forensic evidence kit (rape kit).

Cord’s attorney, Terry Toavs, requested Judge David Cybulski sentence Cord to 10 years with the Montana Department of Corrections with eight of those years suspended.

Knudsen asked the court to sentence Cord to 20 years at the Montana State Prison with 10 of those years suspended.

Judge Cybulski did not follow either recommendation and sentenced Cord to 40 years with 35 of those years suspended and imposed a $50,000 fine. He was designated as a Tier II or Level 2 Sex Offender. Cord will have to register as a sex offender and will be on probation until he is 65 years old.

Jesus' Love Transforming Community

Matthew :: Mustard and Yeast

Jesus begins teaching in parables, stories used to teach spiritual lessons. Jesus was using what they knew, primarily farming terms, as a way of giving understanding about the Kingdom of Heaven.

This week, we focus on Mustard seeds and Yeast in Matthew 13:31-35. These things are seemingly small, but they can turn into big things and even movements as God works through our lives.

Explaining Syttende mai

Tough task for a translator

Norway - Syttende mai

Scouts marching with Norwegian flags, on May 17, 2005, in Sandnes.

Asker, Norway

Imagine that you are a Norwegian lexicographer called in by an Artificial Intelligence (AI) company to enable a multilingual robot being built to take part in conversations about Syttende mai. At first you think the task is simple, as Syttende mai is part of the received knowledge with which you grew up. But then you realize that though the robot commands a vocabulary at least as great as your human one, it doesn’t have the received knowledge built into a human through growing up in Norway. It has all the words needed but cannot put them together in a meaningful conversation.

You start at the beginning. Syttende mai is Norway’s national day. All countries have national days. Well, almost. Notably, the United Kingdom, as well as Norway’s neighbor Denmark, have no official national days, though Denmark celebrates June 5 as the day of adoption of the Danish Constitution of 1849. Moreover, neighboring Sweden long had no national day, though it did celebrate the June 6 as Svenska flaggans dag (“Swedish flag day”) commemorating the election of Gustav Vasa as King in 1523. More than four centuries later, in 1983, the Riksdag, the Swedish parliament, declared that day to be the country’s national day. So Sweden now has a national day, though many Swedes still call it flag day.

As Syttende mai commemorates the signing of the Norwegian Constitution in 1814, Norway early settled on the straightforward name of Grunnlovsdagen. That’s the official name of the day that now appears on calendars and in descriptions of it. But it’s not a universal term; in Norwegian, it’s synonymous with Syttende mai and no other date.

The result: a drawback in Norwegian-English dictionaries. Grunnlovsdagen translates exactly to “Constitution Day,” but Constitution Day is not always the national day of a country. The notable example is the United States, where Constitution Day is Sept.17, the day in 1787 when the U.S. Constitution was signed in Philadelphia, while—as every American schoolchild learns—the Fourth of July is called “Independence Day,” because it commemorates the Continental Congress’ adoption in 1776 of the Declaration of Independence.

Declaring independence is often part of a political revolution, as it was in the United States, where in April 1775, the citizenry instigated armed conflict against their British rulers, triggering a war known in the United States as the Revolutionary War and in Britain as the American War of Independence. In turn, revolution often is the historical event commemorated by a national day. The French national day is La fête nationale, commonly known as Bastille Day, held on July 14, the day in 1789 of the storming of the Bastille fortress, the seminal event in the revolution that had begun two days earlier in Paris. As for the equivalent of Syttende mai, the everyday French term for it is just the date, Le quatorze juillet.

If the French, arguably the linguistic purists of Europe, opt for Le quatorze juillet without further explanation, you might give up searching for a succinct explanation of Syttende mai and let the robot learn for itself, as do human children.

Your Money and Our Money

Listen carefully to the debate over the Bush tax laws and you will hear the real way politicians in Washington see the world. Democrats and Republicans, it doesn’t matter.

Democrats say the richest Americans need to pay the government more taxes. Most say the people who die need to pay more estate taxes. But, it’s not just the position they have it’s the words they use to describe why they need to pay more. It’s the government’s money. It’s not the citizen’s money, it’s the government’s money and it’s owed to the government.

Voters have spoken and said we don’t trust the government with our money, regardless of the source. Even in Washington state, despite the efforts of the unions and Bill Gates Sr. the voters denied a tax on the wealthy. It has dawned on the majority in this country that the government is not responsible to handle money.

The great class warfare man, Obama, can’t get the Democrats to buy the trillion dollar stimulus compromise. The Democrats demand the wealthy pay more taxes and more estate taxes. It’s seizure of private property, but they still demand payment. Forgiveness for $600 billion in tax benefits for the non-rich aren’t enough to sway the party. It doesn’t offset the pleadings of the president and the logic of the deal.

What will the government do with the money. Subsidize the post office, Amtrak, Freddie and Fannie, the FHA, and the bloated bureaucracy in Washington. Bail out some more big banks, like Goldman? Give ethanol another year’s tax subsidy. Hire hundreds of new IRS employees to monitor Obamacare. Shell out more pork and earmarks.

The Deficit Commission wants to simplify the tax laws. It would put lots of tax experts out of work or give them less work to do. Not in the cards. Keep the onerous estate taxes in place so attorney’s can make millions working to subvert the laws.

The money we earn is our money. It is not rightfully the government’s money. The only way to control spending by the government is to send them less to spend. We already own the Chinese a trillion dollars. Borrowing by the government is getting harder and harder.

It’s time to explain this to the politicians. Stop talking like you have some claim on citizen’s earnings. Simplify the tax code. Cut taxes and deductions for all Americans.Eliminate jobs in the IRS through a simplified code. Force the elected officials in Washington to balance a smaller budget and get off the class warfare kick before we have riots in the streets like they have in Europe.

EUR/USD taken lower on demand for the greenback - FXStreet

FXStreet (Guatemala) - Valeria Bednarik, chief analyst FXStreet noted that the Dollar advanced on Thursday, supported by weak European readings and the OPEC that failed to reach an agreement on a cut on oil output.

“Weak German inflation readings alongside with Draghi’s comments before the Finnish Parliament, suggesting the ECB will remain on hold next week, weighted the most on the common currency, pressuring its daily low ahead of Asian opening”.

“With the US closed on Thanksgiving holiday, trading over the afternoon has been limited, situation that will likely extend into Friday, when US stocks will have an early close”.

“Technically the EUR/USD 1 hour chart shows indicators heading south into negative territory, as 20 SMA gains bearish slope above current price. In the 4 hours chart price pressures its 20 SMA heading higher a few pips below current price, while indicators turned lower but hold above their midlines”.

“The 1.2440 static support level stands in the way of further falls towards 1.2400, while sellers will likely surge on approaches to 1.2520 price zone”.

GBP/USD off the lows and over to Asia

GBP/USD is trading at 1.5734, down -0.39% on the day, having posted a daily high at 1.5828 and low at 1.5717.

PoPs of PCCS Subsea Cable Deployed in Cologix’s Data Center

Cologix announced that members of the Pacific Caribbean Cable System consortium have deployed Points of Presence (PoPs) in Cologix’s JAX 1 data center.

Until today, Internet and private network traffic destined for the Caribbean and most parts of South America had to traverse terrestrial networks down the Florida peninsula and across older subsea systems, primarily out of Miami. The PCCS cable system creates an alternate route for its customers and partners, which avoids the network congestion, risk and cost of routing through Miami before jumping on subsea express routes, the company said in a press release.

We are including Jacksonville in our network design for strategic reasons, most notably that connecting into US fiber networks further north reduces hurricane risk and latency,” explains Carlos Pazmino Campos, Executive at Cable Andino and who also is Chairman of the PCCS Consortium. “Jacksonville’s location and position as a deep sea port made it a natural choice once we had determined that we wanted to create an alternative to Miami.”

Cologix operates the Meet-Me-Room in Jacksonville,” adds Reginald Martes, Executive at UTS Netherlands Antilles. “Deploying our PoPs with Cologix provides us the broadest access to customers, partner networks and dark fiber providers, all of which will be central to the success of our cable system. These are important deployments for us and we trust Cologix’s operating reputation and ongoing investment in the region.”

“We are honored to welcome these PCCS members to the Jacksonville community,” says Grant van Rooyen, chief executive officer, Cologix. “As a neutral interconnection provider, we are dedicated to attracting the most important and unique networks, and buyers for those networks to our facilities. The vision of innovative networks like the PCCS members gives us confidences that Jacksonville will continue to serve as a disruptive force affecting how bits move across the global network map.”

The PCCS cable is currently operational and passing traffic.
