A friend of mine shared an agency RFP with me today. It's been circulating around the town although the client thinks it is a secret. He got it from a client who was excited to include them as part of their search. He had a conflict so he wasn't going to participate and was not as excited as the client was. Obviously the client didn't do much research on which agencies had conflicts. The RFP did say that the RFP only went to a pre-selected list of agencies.
When clients have no skin in the game so why do they care who gets the RFP. They aren't going to be working overtime filling out the request but your agency will if you answer the bell.
My friend who sent me the RFP called me and said the Cattle Call is about to begin and he was right. I was outside a pet store. I thought it might be a good time to detour and drive down the road and up pick up a bale of hay and a cow bell at my local feed store in San Juan Capistrano. We have a lot of horses nearby. And I did just receive a great opportunity to ride into the sunset.
The RFP came from somebody with a title that didn't reflect their level of experience. Nice person just doing their job. Delegate it down. We are just dealing with agencies. A client's agency selection and future marketing destiny for a well know brand entrusted to a marketing coordinator. They did copy the VP of Marketing who probably didn't know that their career could be tied up in this enterprise.
The email did thank the recipients for their time. The RFP said the client hoped that the agency would be excited about the opportunity. In the New Normal that is just like saying I hope you are going to be excited about wasting your time. Thanks and excitement doesn't cover payroll in the New Normal.
You know in the past I might have been excited to get an unsolicited RFP through a networking connection. In today's world it doesn't have much value. I know that in the New Normal the best way to generate New Business is by developing relationships years ago that will pay off today and tomorrow. Helping prospects is a better way to get New Business than jumping through hoops.
The RFP had gone to the legal department for sure because it said that no warranties were made within the completeness or accuracy of the information contained within the RFP. We also had an execution in counterparts' provision. That's perfectly clear. I am sure that it will lead to the type of advertising we all see and shake our heads and wonder what was that all about? Did they pay money to put that on the air?
One of the skills the RFP was looking for was graphic design. Is that like a color separation or a Keyline? It certainly doesn't sound like a digital or customer engagement strategy or an app or automated marketing or conversion optimization but then again this brand has seen its day and what better way to add a few months to your career than by doing a free agency review. Everybody can talk in the lunch room about how things are going to change when they are not.
The RFP also stated that only agencies that met the criteria to move forward in the RFP process will be contacted. Agencies that have not been selected will not be contacted. The hours of completing an RFP are not worth a one minute email. But please like us on Facebook today and you may win a coupon.
It's time for agencies to stop mooing. It's time for agencies to stop dropping their pants. It's time for agencies to stop chasing rejection and the RFP of the day and focus on developing a vibrant network of prospects and alliance partners.
It is time for all agencies to just say NO. NO. NO.
Can a drummer out there hit a symbol for me please?

Wing Commander and Freelancer creator Chris Roberts has been busy. Though he took some time off from game design to work in the film industry, he recently announced his return with a new space sim called Star Citizen. After showing an initial demo and releasing an early trailer, Roberts started crowdfunding to get Star Citizen off the ground, securing more than $3 million dollars between Kickstarter and his own website. Many fans donated $250 or more, often to secure themselves a space ship they didn't know the look of or function, acting simply on faith that Roberts and his team could deliver something special. To learn more about the RSI Constellation (the first big ship to be revealed), the team's approach to ship design, and Star Citizen overall, we interviewed Game Director Chris Roberts and Lead Conceptual Artist Ryan Church.
"Who doesn't want their own Millennium Falcon?," responds Roberts when I press him about why the Constellation has been a common pledge level despite its $250 price tag, "What's been interesting is that people have been signing up for the Constellation just on the promise without knowing what it will look like. I'm guessing that now people can see the attention to detail they may just want to upgrade."
Indeed, as a longtime fan of spaceships and science fiction universes like Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica and Star Trek, I'd say the ship looks impressive. It features a gigantic, pod-like cockpit at the front, a pair of turrets on the top and bottom of the ship, and a general aesthetic that makes Constellation look like a combination of the Han Solo's famous ship and the titular Firefly-class ship from the now defunct TV series. There are even places on the ship that Roberts and team have yet to decide the purpose. "You should be able to eat a meal or drink something in the kitchen! I don't think we'll go to the extreme of requiring you to do this to keep your energy up, but it is a nice texture moment. I would like the sleeping quarters play into the game the same way a bunk bed did in the original Wing Commander – which was as an in-fiction save point, but I'm not going to let you save anywhere in space. But I think when docked / landed the sleeping quarters will be where you 'wake-up' when you load your game to start a new session."
This is all part of Chris Roberts' greater vision for Star Citizen, that it earns the sim part of the space sim title. This is exemplified by the Constellation's cargo bay. Roberts says "the goal is to be able to walk back into your cargo hold while flying and actually see the cargo you're hauling. There's a big focus on simulating and showing everything that you would imagine to be inside and functioning on a spaceship in Star Citizen. So if you're hauling it you should see it in your hold (if you can walk back into your hold), if you activate a system, you should see your pilot avatar lean over and switch it on, and so on."
The goal is to be able to walk back into your cargo hold while flying and actually see the cargo you're hauling.
Church and Roberts thus work together from concept to finished product, with Church beginning with Roberts' description and then figuring out how to make it functional. "It's much like designing a car or any other product," Church tells IGN, "there are the engineering requirements and then there's the feeling you want to convey -- look at a Ferrari and a Lamborghini. Both are high performance Italian sports cars but they have very different looks, different surface form languages. So I will start pretty rough and send a bunch of variations to Chris and he will weed them down and distill out what he wants. Once the shape and configuration are locked in I put on my engineer's hat and work backwards from the functional requirements to the form."
This is exactly how the Constellation came to be. Church writes, "The design brief for the Constellation was that it has a crew of three, is heavily armed and has an 'iconic' shape. That's tough to do! But I think we've succeeded- it has a very aggressive shape in attack/landing mode and can configure itself to a more benign looking cruise mode. At every stage while building it and figuring out the functionality I'm thinking about the Constellation class ship as a potential user: what would I want to fly? What would I want to be seen in? These questions resulted in not only the look of the ship but the layout of the interior and a lot of the functionality like the way the weapons can retract and change the silhouette of the ship."
Though the Constellation may be inspired by the likes of the Millenium Falcon, it has one advantage over such a craft: a deployable fighter. This small craft has no ability to navigate the warp gates that will separate the gigantic sections of Star Citizen's universe, but according to Roberts, "is important to counter act the Constellation's lower maneuverability compared to a pure dogfighting player ship." The addition of a fighter and all the other considerable armaments of the Constellation doesn't mean it'll be everything, either. "It all comes down to how the player decides to modify and upgrade his ship and what he wants to focus on – dogfighting, trading runs, exploration," writes Roberts, "A lightly armored, but very maneuverable ship piloted by a good pilot would have a chance."
We still have yet to see the array of other ships that are being created, and as a bit of disclosure I've tossed in $125 myself for a freighter, but this first design is encouraging. There's just so much attention to detail, and if Roberts and company manage to pull off the gameplay elements detailed in our first preview, then Star Citizen could set a new standard for immersion when it releases in 2014.

Bishop Eric Menees
Alleluia! Christ is risen!
Last Sunday's gospel lesson from the twentieth chapter of John reported that amazing meeting in the upper room between Jesus and his disciples. "21 Jesus said to them again, 'Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.'" (John 20:21)
We are reminded in Jesus' words that Christianity is not a passive faith, but an active faith! Now, where in scripture does Jesus say, "Sit back, relax, take a load off and I will take care of everything?" Jesus does say, "I'm sending you out into a violent world with the message of peace and forgiveness!"
All throughout the first five centuries after the Resurrection, Christians were put to death for refusing to deny their faith. Caesar required everyone to offer a pinch of incense to an idol, give a token amount of money, and say the words, "Caesar is Lord." For their faithfulness, Christians were executed by the thousands, and yet they didn't organize a violent revolt. They went willingly to their executions, giving the sign of the cross as a witness to the crowds prior to their execution. This, in large part, is the root for our making the sign of the cross. It was a way of saying to the crowds gathered, "I'm dying for my faith in Christ and not because I'm a thief or a prisoner of war."
In the present day, Christians are being martyred in even greater numbers than in the first centuries, and still we do not organize violent responses. On Monday in Holy Week we saw that in spades, as Fr. Boules George, of St. Mark's Cathedral in Egypt, preached a sermon the day after the Palm Sunday terrorists killed 45 people in that church and another. Fr. George entitled his sermon, "Thank You" It is an amazing sermon, and I invite you to read it – it will be posted on the diocesan website before too long. In the meantime, here is the link: http://www.copticdadandmom.com/fr-boules-george/
Fr. George captured the essence of Resurrection faith and the Easter Message in this sermon.
This is what Jesus sends us out to do, with a message of love, peace, and mercy.
The Lord is risen indeed. Alleluia!
Thirty-nine Articles of Religion
XXVI. Of the Unworthiness of the Ministers, which hinders not the effect of the Sacraments
Although in the visible Church the evil be ever mingled with the good, and sometimes the evil have chief authority in the Ministration of the Word and Sacraments, yet forasmuch as they do not the same in their own name, but in Christ's, and do minister by his commission and authority, we may use their Ministry, both in hearing the Word of God, and in receiving the Sacraments. Neither is the effect of Christ's ordinance taken away by their wickedness, nor the grace of God's gifts diminished from such as by faith, and rightly, do receive the Sacraments ministered unto them; which be effectual, because of Christ's institution and promise, although they be ministered by evil men.
Nevertheless, it appertaineth to the discipline of the Church, that inquiry be made of evil Ministers, and that they be accused by those that have knowledge of their offences; and finally, being found guilty, by just judgment be deposed.

The Websites of me
These are a couple of websites that I visit, it's fairly limited but all are usefull to my own purposes.
(BTW, I know that no one gives a shit, but an assignment is an assignment, and hopefully some might provide some insight to those in the class)
kexp.org/ ->
I've probably spent more time on KEXP's website sight than any other in the past 5 to 6 years, they have truly opened my eyes to the music world. KEXP is initially a radio station based out of the UW, which can be found at 90.3 FM. They used to be known as KCMU, but changed their name in April of 2001 after partnering with Paul Alan's Experience Music Project at which time they moved to a location in downtown Seattle and began broadcasting 750 watts from their original 400 watts. They started streaming online in 2000 at 128 KBPS and now they stream their live broadcast in several formats including a 1.4 mbps uncompressed stream, as well as a 128k wma/mp3 stream.
What makes the site really stand out is not its live stream, though the stations radio broadcast, despite having decreased in qualitative programing in the last few years, is still superb in comparison to the rest of the music based FM band, as well as in comparison to a vast amount of internet radio stations (especially due to the quality of the stream). What makes it truly worth mentioning is the stations vast archives which are available to anyone. Since 2002 they have been archiving the many live performers they have in their studio (200 to 400 per year), these are all on their site. The quality of the 02 to 03 performances is somewhat poor but anything after 04 is quite good 128k wma, and the diversity of the performances is splendid.
They also archive their broadcast for 2 weeks, allowing one better access to the niche shows they have on the air, often at somewhat inconvenient times. These are archived in 24k, 64k, 96k WMA's as well as 1.4mbps uncompressed wav files.
If your into music of any kind I highly recommend you check this out.
As far as any one singular movie reviewer, Roger Ebert is truly without precedent. Perhaps its because he has been writing for over 40 years, and seems to be no longer subject to any particular format, but his analysis of cinema is truly brilliant. His site archives almost every review he has written since 1968, as well as many editorials.
A useful tool in finding what movies are out, and more importantly what to watch, The sight catalogs a vast amount of reviews for movies, then compiles them together in both how much people liked it, as well as whether or not the movie gained a positive review. If 60 percent of critics liked it, then the movie has a 60 on its famous "tomato meter", then in addition to this would be the percentage of how good they thought the film was. Again, its just a great site to get the gist of whether or not a movie is worth seeing.
Essentially the same thing as RT, but they expand their compilations, to television, games, and music.
Unlike RT's famous meter, Metacritic is focused specifically on the quality of the film, also its list of critics is limited to national press, rather than the massive collage of assorted web and blog reviewers that RT also includes in addition to the national press. Metacritic is most useful when looking for television, in that its somewhat unique as it reviews the seasons of TV shows.

The Latest News for Crossbow Hunters
by Steve Sorensen
(Originally published in the Warren Times Observer, June 30, 2012.)
Whether you're a crossbow hunter or not, you probably know crossbows are controversial. And never more so than a few years ago when the Pennsylvania Game Commission gave them the thumbs up for a four-year trial in the deer woods during archery season.
Here's an American crossbow
that won't force you to choose
between quality and price.
Some bowhunters swore they'd never shoot a crossbow. There's irony in that because some were traditional archery hunters who had already forward-migrated to vertical compound bows, a design that's far more modern than the traditional concept of a recurve-style crossbow.
Today, the controversy seems to be waning and crossbows are becoming acceptable, even popular. The PGC ended the trial period back in the spring. So, crossbows are here to stay.
For years, crossbows were associated with the handicapped and the elderly, so the market wasn't big enough to drive innovation and competition. Now, advertisements in hunting magazines have made crossbow names familiar to us all – Barnett, Excalibur, Horton, Parker, PSE, Ten Point, and more. And it's not just ads – Peterson's Bowhunting magazine now includes a column on crossbows, as does Bear Hunting magazine and others. A couple of entire magazines are devoted to crossbow hunting. Fears that crossbows would ruin archery hunting have vanished.
One crossbow that hasn't received much press is the Kodabow, made by a small company in Pennsylvania. If you were at the Eastern Sport Show in Harrisburg during February, you may have seen the Kodabow demonstrated. Chuck Matasic, retired Naval Officer and President of Kodabow, allowed all comers to shoot a Kodabow, and during the show a single crossbow flung over 2,000 arrows without a hitch.
Considering that vertical bows with a 70 pound draw need constant tweaking, and Kodabow models have a draw weight of 185 pounds or higher, that's remarkable. That's a lot of stress on any piece of equipment, but the Kodabow is built with such sturdiness and precision that it easily handles it. That's why Kodabow isn't afraid to take its message to the public that way.
You're going to be hearing more about Kodabow because on June 26th, firearms company Sturm, Ruger & Co. bought a minority interest in the company. This will help Kodabow accelerate its business plans and expand its reach. I suspect other crossbow companies realize they have a strong competitor for market share in Kodabow.
About the partnership Matasic said, "Ruger shares our vision that delivering dependable and innovative hunting products made in the USA will drive industry leadership and success."
Made in USA? Yes! Kodabow sources every crossbow component domestically and assembles them in its West Chester, PA plant. Although Sturm, Ruger has bought a minority interest, Kodabow will still be controlled by the innovators who started it. They're hunters, they know crossbows, and their interest is in quality and reliability. The fact that every component is made in the USA is not only an important corporate value, it means Kodabow can be very responsive to its customers.
Kodabow crossbows are built on an AR15 rifle platform. That's not unique in the crossbow world. PSE has also done it. But PSE uses the strength of the frame to support a compound limb design with cams and cables to maximize speed.
Kodabow takes a different approach. Using simple recurve limbs, the Kodabow crossbow capitalizes on the strength of the AR15 frame to maximize reliability, without sacrificing the speed you need. It's quiet, accurate, and because the design is so simple, dependability is guaranteed shot after shot after shot, year in and year out.
A Kodabow is no bottom shelf crossbow. It's not at the expensive end either, but it is high-end when it comes to quality. And, over time, its simplicity and reliability will pay off in savings.
When choosing between American products and Asian imports, consumers usually trade off quality for price. Here's an American crossbow that won't force you to make that choice.
A leader in the crossbow industry has risen right here in Pennsylvania and is making top end crossbows at a competitive price. Congratulations to Kodabow, and to Sturm, Ruger for recognizing a leader in the industry. Check out Kodabow online at www.Kodabow.com.

Leigh Griffiths has completed a clean sweep of personal awards after being named Ladbrokes Premiership player of the year.
The Celtic frontman became the first Parkhead striker to net 40 goals in a campaign since Henrik Larsson when he topped the scoring charts.
He now adds the league sponsor's prize to the awards handed out by his club, PFA Scotland and the Scottish Football Writers' Association.
But the 25-year-old Scotland international admits he may now have to prove himself all over again next term following the arrival of new boss Brendan Rodgers at Parkhead.
Griffiths - who found himself down previous boss Ronny Deila's pecking order before convincing the Norwegian he should lead the Celtic attack - said as he collected his latest gong: "I've spoken to the new manager and he said he was looking forward to working with me next year. That's great for me and the whole team.
"I will be looking forward to pre-season when it comes around.
"Different managers have different opinions. He will have his own philosophy on how he wants to play but hopefully I fit into that.
"It took me a long time under Ronny to force myself into the squad and hopefully it doesn't take me as long with the new gaffer.
"But if it does, I will do the exact same, bide my time and when the chance comes I will try to take it with both hands."

Wow, so adorable! Congrats on your new pup. Don't know how original this name is, but I think she reminds me a little bit of a Sara. I'm sure that whatever name you do pick for her, it will suit her perfectly!ReplyDelete
I want one now but she also looks like a Sophie!!!!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 9, 2011 at 3:17 PM
My sister has a St. Bernard named Sophie! I had a dog just like this when I was a little girl. She was a show dog. Beautiful, very gentle and extremely smart. I hope your girls will love yours as much as we loved ours! Her name was Duchess, by the way! :) (Is she long or short haired?)ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 9, 2011 at 8:03 PM
She's adorable! I think she looks like a "Charlie." :)ReplyDelete
Whoops, that last comment was me! :)ReplyDelete
Is he ever precious!!!!! Too cute...not great with girls dog names, as I have only owned males! My sister in law has a golden and named her Chloe which I think is really pretty!ReplyDelete
Look at that precious face! How could you not love her? Puppies are the best! (minuse cleaning up pee and poop!)ReplyDelete
So sweet, looks like my pup when he was a baby:( We have a Bernese MTN. dog named Harold. LOVE her.ReplyDelete
She is sooo cute!!! I can't wait to meet her! Caleb thinks you should name her Victoria and call her Vickie. I disagree. But as far as another suggestion I'm stumped. A really cute name because she looks so cuddly!!ReplyDelete
It's so funny that you posted this on Saturday because on Friday I made a post about the process I go through to name all the pet fish I've had. But I have two ideas:ReplyDelete
1) Patches - because the first thing I noticed about her were her eyes, and they have patches around them.
2) Peaches - in honor of the great state you live in.
That's so funny, Aimee, because I thought of those exact names for those very same reasons! I also suggested Dixie ( a St. Bernard in the South??) or Frances, and my other suggestion, Lauren, is now Missy. I know it's not the Swiss name you're looking for, but I thought of Swiss Miss hot chocolate and thought Missy would be suitable. She is very cute and has such characteristic coloring!ReplyDelete
she is absolutely precious!! i have no name help but man oh man she looks sweet as sugar!ReplyDelete
Adorable! My boys say "Jesse" Have fun naming her.ReplyDelete
I would love to get your feedback on any post! Comments make my day, and I will do my best to get back with you as soon as I can. Thanks!

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Puerto Rico's government on Thursday urged legislators to move quickly and approve financial austerity measures following a report from a Wall Street ratings agency that downgraded the island's general obligation bonds to near-junk status.
Standard & Poor's noted that the U.S. territory's budget gap is significantly larger than originally estimated, and that current shortfalls will prevent the island from rebounding economically in the next two years.
The agency warned that if only limited progress is made in reducing the gap, it would further lower the rating.
S&P also downgraded the rating of the Government Development Bank of Puerto Rico on Thursday, saying it's not sufficiently independent from the state.
Jorge Suarez, secretary general of the Popular Democratic Party, which controls the island's legislature, said Thursday that the actual deficit is $2.1 billion, not $360 million as the previous administration estimated.
"We need to act now," he said.
The higher projected deficit is a result in part of expenses estimated at $140 million above budget and revenues of $910 million below budget, according to the S&P report. The administration of Gov. Alejandro Garcia Padilla released the new preliminary estimates in January, just months after he beat one-term governor Luis Fortuno of the New Progressive Party.
Javier Ferrer, president of the Government Development Bank of Puerto Rico, said legislators are considering several measures expected to boost revenue, but warned the government would still struggle economically. The government already has drawn a $775 million credit line with the bank to lower its deficit.
"In the past, the agencies were promised that the deficit would be eliminated at the end of this fiscal year," Ferrer said. "We've told them that this is very hard. We certainly aren't going to do that this year."
The governor already has submitted several measures aimed at cutting costs.
Earlier this month, Garcia issued an executive order barring agencies from paying public employees for their accrued sick pay. He also ordered the Management and Budget Office to cut all expenses by 30 percent, including professional services and purchases of equipment and materials.
"The S&P report is an alert ... to the gravity of the fiscal situation that our country faces," Garcia said, noting how the agency recognized that the government is considering several corrective measures. "However, these cannot remain simply proposals. They expect action."
Garcia's party controls the island's House and the Senate, but the measures have been criticized by Pedro Pierluisi, of the opposition New Progressive Party. As Puerto Rico's Resident Commissioner, Pierluisi is the territory's sole representative in the U.S. Congress.
Pierluisi said the S&P report demonstrates the agency has no confidence in the current administration.
"The government's fiscal challenges should be met with action, not talk," he said. "Garcia Padilla should have sought the necessary consensus from everyone."
Pierluisi's party also released a statement noting that under its 2008-2012 administration, agencies increased the bonds' ratings.
Treasury Secretary Melba Acosta urged officials to leave political bickering aside and focus on improving the economy of an island that is emerging from a six-year recession and has an unemployment rate higher than any U.S. state at 14 percent.
One of Puerto Rico's biggest fiscal problems is the $37.3 billion unfunded liability of its public pension system.
The unfunded liability, which is spread across three public pension systems, is almost four times the annual government budget for the island of nearly 4 million people.
Last month, the government presented a measure that calls for increased employee contributions, a higher retirement age and reduced benefits and monthly pensions for certain workers. Legislators are currently holding public hearings on the measure.
"It's clear that this needs to be approved...and soon," Acosta said. "That's the reality of it."

Breaking Out the Business Cards
Breaking Out the Business Cards
While the large number of social media outlets that exist today may be raining leaders, as far as social networking goes, perhaps the best way to network with people you meet in person is through the use of powerful little tools called business cards. All too often forgotten or overlooked, business cards pack a lot of incredibly important information onto a small, travel-size card.
When a networking opportunity presents itself in person, you want to be prepared. Taking the time to find a pen and a piece of paper, and then scribbling down your name, phone number and email address, is not only a huge waste of time, but comes across as incredibly unprofessional. To always be prepared to make your best impression, make sure to carry around business cards. They are clean, credible and, thanks to a number of companies who offer cheap business card printing, pleasantly affordable.
Why Business Cards Are Still Necessary
Many people in this day and age view business cards as all but dead. However, the benefits of a business card are undeniable. Here are some ways that you can benefit from using business cards.
Business cards function as tiny brochures for your business. The card represents the detail that you put into work for your customers and serves as evidence that your business values quality. The card design and layout are an easy way to make a lasting impression.
Although a lot of people have stopped carrying business cards in favor of exchanging information digitally, there are still many people who have not fully switched digital communication. Without a business card to offer, not only are you alienating these individuals, you're also missing potential valuable connections.
People are more likely to remember you if you pass them a business card. Think of all of the people at a convention who choose to simply exchange contact information digitally. If you are one of the few passing out business cards, people will be able to recall you more easily later on.
ColorFX is a printing company based in Los Angeles that offers business card printing at affordable prices. We know that you're a busy person, which is why you can order all of your printing needs online! Take a look at all of our business card customization options and we promise you won't be disappointed.
Brochures Broker the Deal for You
When you hand a potential customer your business card, you're handing him your name, your company's name, an e-mail address and a contact numbers. If you hand that same client a brochure, you're handing him a concept, a vision and an idea he can use. Whether you're selling widgets or left-handed ice cube trays, a brochure cements your brand's image squarely in the mind of your customers. Having a brochure isn't good enough—you need a great brochure. Brochure printing works. That's why the most successful local and national companies use them.
What Makes a Brochure Great?
A picture is surely worth a thousand words—maybe even more on a brochure. A detailed photo of your product, a lush snapshot of a beach or a collage of sporting events immediately tells your customer the main focus of your company. Not only does it reveal the field you're in, it also lets potential clients know how you feel about yourself. A company who has a well-designed brochure will receive more sales calls than a company that has less-expensive, cheap-looking brochures.
First impressions are the only impressions that matter when you're trying to impress a new customer. You need your brochure to make the best impression possible. The traditional tri-fold brochure uses an attractive graphic on the front to lure the buyer into the greater details listed inside the brochure. You don't have to wait for your client to open the brochure to get your message across. That thousand-word photo on the front should give them a pretty good idea.
Distinctive Business Cards
Anyone who wants to grow their business through personal contacts needs business cards. The biggest challenge with a business card is designing one that stands out and that people will want to hang onto, thereby giving you a greater chance of winning their business.
The fundamental purpose of a business card is to convey contact information such as name, logo, and phone number, etcetera. Continue Reading…
Why You Need Business Cards
Calling cards from centuries past, which were used to announce visitors, evolved into business cards. A quick and easy way to communicate and advertise yourself and your company is to hand out a business card. There are many choices of color, font, and design that can be used to create just the right business card that will drive prospective customers to your business. Continue Reading…
Professional Business Card Design
If you're an entrepreneur or you do a lot of business networking than you understands the importance of having a business card. In fact, the business card is one of the most fundamental requirements for the average business man. Unfortunately, it's such a common scenario for someone to easily forget about you especially when people often create "forgettable" business cards. The common business card usually consists of a plain white card with the name of the person or company and basic contact information. With everyone using such a similar format it is no wonder why most boring business cards find their way into the trash can. This is why it is so important to make your card stand out from the sea of mundane business cards.
With that said, the challenge really is creating a business card that stands out but still maintains a professional demeanor. Depending on how flexible you are in how you want to "portray" your image in your business card this will determine the design choices you have at your disposal.
We will be examining the following elements more closely:
- Color Choices
- Layout
- Logo and Pictures
- Typography and Font
Let's dive into this concept some more and figure out how we can break down the business card design process from various prospective.

Smells Like Leather Spirit!
I really, really, like these gifs from the GQ video. You can almost smell the leather. That thing that Michael is doing with his face, is that deliberate? Or, is that just the way he rolls?
Some people have already bought their issue of GQ, I will try to get it this weekend.

He has a very beautiful and expressive face! I have to believe that he doesn't know what he's doing. If he does, it's just cruel and unusual punishment to purposely give heart attacks. The leather will forever be one of his best looks. :)
- May 18, 2012 at 12:34 PM
The video made me sigh. He is too cute. But yeah simone I agree I didn't like some of the pictures in the GQ shoot.
Some people may think that because he did Shame, he is just sex. He is an extremely talented actor, that is what he should be trying to portray.
I got my issue yesterday. I was not even looking for it, but at the checkout lane it was right in front of my face. :) Had to buy it!

Smell of leather for the nose.
Sound of his voice for the ears.
His looks for the eyes.
His acting....for the mind and the heart.

I prefer the GQ video than the photos lol

I LOVE these GIFs! He really is super expressive with his facial features. He'd make a great mime. LOL. I'm going to be looking for GQ at the grocery store today.
- May 20, 2012 at 11:51 AM
I'm with emmy, the Mario Testino GQ video was more enjoyable than the final pictures featured in the magazine, although I love the cover photograph, which is a direct nod to the 1960's Harper's Bazaar cover with actor Steve McQueen.
Acting wise, Michael is the next Brando, mixed in with a bit of Richard Harris, but style-wise, he descends from Steve McQueen's school of cool, and I think the GQ fashion editors were very aware of their sartorial bother-hood.
Both men share a dangerous sex appeal, incredible screen presence, and a love for fast cars and motorcycles, hence they wear leather jackets, aviator glasses, t-shirt, and jeans effortlessly.

parenthood & the art of fearlessness
So it was cheering to see the TV presenter Claudia Winkleman identifying one of them in an interview with The Times at the weekend. She said she wasn't too daunted about taking over from Jonathan Ross on Film 2010 because "once you've had an episiotomy, you don't give a toss about anything....That's what I'll be saying to myself, as we go live: 'At least this isn't going to end in stitches"'. The great unsung advantage of parenthood is, counter-intuitively, a new kind of fearlessness.
The highlight of pregnancy for me was the faintly tipsy feeling some women get in the middle trimester where, tranquilised with oestrogen, all suddenly seems hazily well with the world. I remember telling a friend I wished that feeling could last forever and she rather wisely said: it doesn't, but you will never sweat the work stuff in the same way again.
She was too kind to add 'because you'll be worrying yourself stupid about your kids instead.' But an unexpected bonus of motherhood for me, having been far too uptight about my work all my life, was indeed a more detached attitude. Stuff I wasted too much time worrying about - office politics, the odd story falling through, what other people thought of me - shrank into insignificance compared with the unthinkable prospect of something happening to my son. In a strange way, that liberated me to be a better journalist, to take more risks - something many women are too cautious about. Too much commitment isn't always, professionally speaking, a good thing. Shame they don't tell you that in What to Expect When You're Expecting.

This is so, so true. I remember watching an (otherwise rather hippy-dippy) pregnancy yoga DVD and being told "motherhood and giving birth are about being in the moment" - which means that there's no time to worry about stuff that may or may not happen tomorrow - that job interview, important meeting, or who snubbed you in the staff canteen. And you know that nothing that can happen at work will be as bad as what happened in the delivery suite, no manager will be as demanding as a newborn or as bossy as a preschooler.ReplyDelete
Very true. Work crises seem so trivial compared with giving birth or seeing your newborn baby in an incubator. (Mind you, I sometimes wonder whether, if I went back to my old job managing a newsdesk, I would be treating the reporters like naughty toddlers - no Dora the Explorer before bedtime unless they get that story!)ReplyDelete
Absolutely. It really puts the office bickering/slippery pole climbing into perspective. Motherhood is a 24 hour a day reminder of what really matters in life. Thanks for the explanation about CB in your last post. Too busy being indignant to apply any actual thought to the matter!ReplyDelete

Since this Sunday's Gospel reading tells the story of St. Thomas doubting the resurrection of Jesus until he can personally see Him and place his hands in Jesus's wounds, I'm posting a great scene from the TV series "Lost" which dealt with issues of faith and doubt better than any other show (in my humble opinion). The scene takes place in a church, and is motivated by Caravaggio's painting, "The Incredulity of St. Thomas" which depicts Thomas putting his finger in the pierced side of the resurrected Jesus.
Ben Linus (Emmy winner Michael Emerson who currently stars on "Person of Interest") is one of the show's primary villains at this point and seems to be irredeemable. However, he does believe that there is a power greater than himself at work on the island where the characters have been living. In fact, he believes this power has some cosmic significance for the whole world. It's the one area of Ben's life in which he appears somewhat humbled, though he tends to justify his sins by thinking they're purpose is for the greater good.On the other hand, Jack Shephard – the show's primary hero – has always had a problem believing in anything other than proven science. Based on this scene, Jack hasn't had much of a religious education since he doesn't even know how the story of St. Thomas ends. Jack's resistance to faith throughout the show is much more understandable in light of this scene because it shows he has no foundation on which to build it. His journey, therefore, from doubt to faith – and Ben Linus's journey from sin to redemption – is all the more impressive, and rests at the core of the series. And if we open our eyes to the wonders of the world around us, this brief but memorable scene can teach us something too.

If you're looking for a thought-provoking production this week, you're in luck. There are several performances that ask their audiences to immerse themselves in a story and contemplate the message within.
For starters, Triad Stage continues its production of Arthur Miller's The Price this week through Sunday. In the intimate family drama, two brothers are reunited to settle their late father's estate. But the reunion is one filled with regret and resentment. As the brother's discuss their versions of the past—and their two very different lives—it becomes clear that there is always a price to pay for our decisions. Make a decision for yourself and it comes with guilt and isolation; abandon your own needs and base your choice on morality and pay the price with a life of lost dreams and resentment. Ultimately, the choice is yours, but what cost are you willing to pay?
Speaking of making decisions, Open Space Café Theatre will finish its run this week of a dark comedy, Company, in which a sworn bachelor weighs the pros and cons of marriage as he approaches his 35th birthday. The performance is a Stephen Sondheim musical.
As a side note, next week North Carolina A&T University challenges its audiences with an inspiring concert on the life and experiences of forgotten African-American composers, including music from the Antebellum Period through the Civil Rights Movement and modern times.
On a more light-hearted note, Friday through Feb. 26, Theatre Alliance continues its electric production of Rock of Ages, which includes the hits from such 80s rock bands as Pat Benatar, Journey, Poison and Bon Jovi. The musical, or rather rock concert, follows a wannabe rock star who must save a legendary venue from being turned into a strip mall.
Another fun production continuing its runs this week is Barn Dinner Theatre's The Kitchen Witches , in which two competitive TV hosts are paired together for a dramatic cooking show that likens to Martha Stewart combined with Jerry Springer. Productions run this week through Feb. 26.
New this week is Helen Simoueau Dance's 7th season kick-off with a co-screening of Mr. Gaga at A/perture Cinema on Thursday in Winston-Salem. The unique documentary tells the story of an internationally renowned choreographer who created "Gaga," a form of dance.

Update: What's Happening in East Row?
by The Editor
In late October we asked what was happening in the Saraton Bulding at the top of City Walk in the bus interchange. Fences had been erected, workers were feverishly nailing various objects together, and the site gave every indication a highly organised fit-out taking place. So, what the Hell was it?
For those who haven't ventured into the city of late, the project is finished and open for business. The rumours in late 2011 proved correct: this prime position has been snapped up by McDonalds. We already have a counterfront Macca's outlet in the bottom of the Canberra Centre, and there is a full restaurant only two blocks away in James Court Apartments. Not even in Manhattan are Macca's franchises located so closely together. What is it about Canberra that sees the driving need for another burger joint bang in the middle of the transport hub (especially one promoting so heavily it's McCafe)? Who, consciously and without a sense of shame, visits the Golden Arches to get a coffee anyway? We'd only dare venture in if every other barista in Canberra was dead and we could slink away under the cover of darkness with the offending liquid disguised by a KeepCup.
Sure, the McCafe story originated in Australia's own coffee capital of Melbourne before going on to become a part of the company's global strategy, but the arrival of a site specific venue (as opposed to a McCafe in a small nook of apparent civility in the corner of a burger shop offering sanctuary from high-school students trying to scam burgers out of their friends behind the counter) is a bridge too far. Perhaps it would be made more bearable if McDonald's Australian arm took a leaf out of the book of their French colleagues.
Yep, the French are at it again, proving this time they can even do 'bland' better than anyone else. Patrick Norguet has been commisioned to redesign the interior of Franco-McFlurry venues to bring the restaurant back to its roots as a place for families, as opposed to the teen hangout it has steadily become. The results, below, are rather striking.

Quite lovely, isn't it? We could spend hours in there eating other people's gherkins. Unfortunately for us Canberrans, we are stuck for now with this rather inelegant shrine to burnt coffee grounds:
This really is the most visually offensive thing we've seen in a while and, given Canberra landmarks that have previosuly attracted our ire, that's really saying something.
Mind you, the Big 'M' wasn't looking so good yesterday. Here's hoping it's some kind of omen.

Home > Who We Are > News > Health Notes: St. Vincent's collects books for children
Published on September 14, 2016
St. Vincent's HealthCare is conducting a drive to collect children's books. The books are for a program that St. Vincent's HealthCare is partnering in with Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Julius Thomas to encourage local schoolchildren to read.
The book drive will continue through Thursday.
People can drop off books at all of St. Vincent's hospitals, many of its primary care offices and many Publix locations.
The books must be for kids ages 10 and older, printed after 2005 and in new or gently used condition.
For more information, including the specific locations, visit www.jaxhealth.com/BookDrive.
Thomas will be at St. Vincent's Riverside Medical Center from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 24, to meet the public.
There will be free food and activities for children, including inflatable play areas.
The event is free to the public with a book donation.
Currently, the St. Vincent's Family Medicine Center has a program called Reach Out and Read, which provides books to young children during their primary care visits.
Additionally, the Family Medicine Center hosts an annual event called Read and Romp, which allows children to explore interactive stations with books, crafts and games.
St. Vincent's Mobile Health Outreach Ministry also provides children with books during their visits to its mobile units for school and sports physicals.

- The story "Becka the Beast" (NSFW) is about Gia Cameron, a karate black-belt who falls in love with gay school bully Becka Jackson. It's quickly revealed that Becka is the victim of Parental Incest, coupled with a relationship with a Depraved Bisexual that has left her an empty shell. Gia's father adopts Becka in the end.
- This has cropped up in Survival of the Fittest a couple of times (although in one case this was Twincest). Matthias Kovalenko of V2 was scarily obsessed with his sister Jodeen. (fortunately, she never made it onto the island). Nothing explicit ever occurs, but from Matthias' thoughts, most get the impression it isn't just brotherly concern.
- Fortunately averted in Broken Saints: Shandala and Gabriel look like they might be bonding romantically prior to Tui Jr's death, but it is cut mercifully short. This is especially creepy when you realize Gabriel knows Shandala is his sister.
- In the Chakona Space setting, there are a number of examples of this (as well as some Parental Incest) between members of various genetically-engineered species such as chakats and foxtaurs. Hermaphrodite chakat sisters Forestwalker and Goldfur enjoy recreational sex, and foxtaur brother and sister Garrek and Malena are also mated (this is hand waved with the explanation that they have been genetically engineered to eliminate the sorts of diseases and conditions that inbreeding can produce in humans, and as created species do not share the exact same moral squick factors as their creators).
- Granted, Chakats and most other species still have taboos against inbreeding so Goldfur and Forestwalker are careful not to have sex when either one is in heat. Foxtaurs allow one generation of inbreeding because most of them can't leave their isolated Amish-style villages thanks to Territorial Attachment Syndrome, and a shortage of males.
- Simon Bar Sinister and Penny Dreadful were a brother-sister team of supervillains in the Global Guardians PBEM Universe. In addition to being murderous psychopaths, they were utterly and completely in love with one another, to the point of getting physical while they were in the middle of a crime.
- In Tea, Biscuits and Incest Mikayla eventually learns that her boyfriend Jayden is also her half-brother.
- In supernatural web soap California Heaven [1], an episode features brother and sister, Dominic and KC, in a very seductive dance nearly kissing. Thought, it looks like KC was possessed. However, in a most recent episode, Dominic stares at KC as she is sleeping and she seems to have no problem with it.
- Implied in Spooning With Spoony III, when Spoony fucks both The Nostalgia Critic and The Other Guy (along with plenty of other people) and tells the latter he makes noises just like his brother.
- This was to have been a plot point in The Nostalgia Chick's video "Thanks For The Feedback" detailing a date between Chick and the Critic. In the original draft, they would have slept together and then been informed that they were actually brother and sister. This idea was scrapped prior to filming.
- In The Gamer's Alliance, Desdemona and Mordecai are siblings and very much in love although they have to hide their relationship from everyone else. Desdemona eventually gets pregnant with Mordecai's child and intends to give birth to the child, using it as a means to install herself on the Remonian throne by claiming that the child belongs to King Marcus.
- Present in a benign form in regards to Ben in An Ordinary Sex Life. Adrienne on the other hand...
- In Comix from the Underground, the Comix Scrutinizer suggests that the furry webcomic characters Kit n Kay Boodle are participating in this since they're not married and have the same last name.
- In the second episode of Supernatural: The Animation Abridged Sam and Dean "hug" each other. Due to Rule of Funny it's never mentioned again when homosexuality is discussed.
- Appears in the Haskhian Inscriptions, a book in The Wanderer's Library, as it's based on ancient mythologies.
- Twilight Sparkle and Shining Armor in Friendship is Witchcraft, Episode 8 "Foaly Matripony." Shining is getting married, but Twilight ruins the wedding, drags Cadence off to a cave, and leaves her to die. And it's hilarious. Also, as for Shining and Twilight, they're not biologically related, so it's not creepy!
- In an online Q-and-A session, Invoked in the Wizards of Waverly Place creator's non-denial denial response to "a Jalex question":Oh my gosh, we got a Jalex question.
(Reading) "Are Justin and Alex going to end up together?"
(Laugh) They are brother and sister, people.
- In SCP-404 of the SCP Foundation, a small experiment log tells the story of a Class-D having a questionable relationship with his sister when they were pre-teens and killing her boyfriend out of jealousy.
- Discussed in Fat, French and Fabulous: This may have been the case between the Papin sisters, who suffered from shared psychosis.
- Lilium -Sims 2 is a Sims 2 machinima that revolves around a rich, isolated family circa 1900. Isis is attracted to her (possibly twin) brother Horitio. Their father doesn't like this so he has them meet the set of siblings he had paired them up with as children. Horitio is both in love with Isis and Estella, while Isis has no feelings for Baltazar and only wants Horitio. The siblings end up marrying their arranged spouses, but only one of the couples is happy.

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. I always appreciate your thoughts. Your comment will appear as soon as I can publish it.

What began as a small neighborhood on the outskirts of Jaffa, a historical port city of Israel, has now become the economic and cultural hub of Israel. Tel Aviv—a modern city built by one of the ancient races—Jews, on the planet of the Earth. So, let's fly from JFK to Tel Aviv to know and to see this modern metropolis.
Owing to the vantage point of Tel Aviv on the coast of Mediterranean Sea, the city makes your trip excitingly exotic with international travelers wandering, strolling or even lazing in its romantic beaches, cleverly designed streets, and shopping centers.
So, you say flying all the way from JFK to Tel Aviv just see and laze at blue waters in Tel Aviv?
Well, there is much more to see and do in Tel Aviv than to just laze around its beaches. At the center of the city there is a unique style of buildings, built with Bauhaus or International Style of architecture. This uniqueness, famously called the White City, has made the UNESCO to tag it as a World Heritage Site. Amazing, right?
Moving on, New York City has been tagged as the city that never sleeps. So has Tel Aviv been dubbed—the city that never stops. The city bustles with vibrant life with quaint Asian, modern and western lifestyles. In addition, the city offers a lot of shopping options for shopaholics at the seafront, Robin Square, and Dizengoff Centre.

ALEXANDRIA Christophersons Bait & Tackle, Dana Freese, 2 blocks east of Big Ole, (320-763-3255) The panfish are biting good on area lakes, you can still find them shallow as the bluegills are still spawning. The crappies have been found on the weed lines in a bit deeper water. The bass have been doing very well. The best bets for bass are using spinner baits and topwater baits in 1 to 10 feet of water. The walleye fishing has been spotty. Your best bets for walleyes are on Ida or Miltona during the early morning hours or late evening. Leeches & crawlers, in 18 to 30 feet of water have seemed to bring the best results.
ANNANDALE - B.J.s Bait & Tackle, Bill, west side of Clearwater Lake, between the two public accesses (320-274-3730) Call or email Bill for a report!
ANOKA Actions Fishing, Jack, 809 West Hwy 10 (763-422-4890) Call Jack for a report!
BATTLE LAKE Bens Bait & Tackle, Josie, Junction of Hwy 78 and 210 (218-864-5596) Walleyes have been biting on Stocker, W. Battle and Ottertail. The walleyes have been found in anywhere from 9 to 22 feet of water, they have been biting on shiners but the best luck has been on leeches and jigs or Lindys. The best reports for crappies have been coming from Molly, Annie Battle, and Stocker. The crappies have been hitting minnows in 11 feet of water. Try the same lakes for panfish using small leeches or crawlers. Bass reports have been excellent, try using a spinner bait, buzz baits, or plastics for best results. Northerns have been hungry on Ottertail, Battle and Clitheroe, trolling sucker minnows in 15 feet of water on the edge of weeds.
BEMIDJI Bluewater Bait & Sports, Mark Cook, 1 mile north of the Hwy 2 & 71 Intersection (218-444-2248) The walleye bite has slowed; the biters are coming on leeches and crawlers. The water temps are reported to be in the 70s. The panfish bite has been good in shallow water. Bass fishing is excellent and the crappies have been spotty.
BIG STONE Buds Bait & Tackle, Greg or Jim Rasset (320-839-2480) Call for a report!
BLACKDUCK - Timberline Sport & Tackle, Carl Adams, Junction of Hwy 71 and Blackduck Lake Rd (218-835-4636) Walleyes have been found on Blackduck in 13 to 17 feet of water using leeches or minnows. Try Gilstad or Rabideau for panfish, good reports have been coming in.
BRAINERD LAKES AREA Brainerd Guide Service, John Blong (218-825-8965) The walleye fishing continues to be strong in the Brainerd Lakes Area. The hottest bite is happening on Mille Lacs Lake. Good numbers, and size have been the norm for the last few weeks. The local lakes, like Gull and Pelican continue to be good, but walleye size has been on the smaller side. Leeches on Lindy rig have been the best bait. The local bass are in the pencil reeds at the current time. Tube baits, and lightly weighted jig worms have been effective baits for these shallow fish. Search out large dock complexes, most of the nicest bass are being caught off these docks at the present time. The sunfish action continues to be strong. Most of the area sunfish are on the beds at the present time.
CHISAGO CITY Frankies Live Bait and Marine, Brad, Corner of Hwy 8 and Co Rd 77 (651-257-6334) It was a great weekend for fishing. The walleyes have moved deeper and are being caught in 18-20 feet of water. S. Lindstrom has been the best bite for walleyes in the area. The panfish bite has been excellent in all area lakes. Bass fishing is still great. For crappies try Kroon Lake. If you're looking for pannies try Sunrise, the bass and northern bite is also good there.
CROSSLAKE - Holiday of Cross Lake, Lee (218-692-2708) Walleye action on the Whitefish Chain as well Crosslake and Pelican is good with fish being caught on leeches with lindy rigs in 18 to 26 feet of water. Some fishermen are trolling with crankbaits and reporting lots of action in about 20 feet. Bass and northern anglers are reporting finding fish along the weed lines. Spinnerbaits and plastics for the bass and spinner rigs with northern minnows for the northern, work points and drop-off areas. Crappie and panfish are still being found next to the shore lines in 8 to 12 feet of water and hitting on small jigs tipped with minnows or worms.
DETROIT LAKES - Dick Beardsleys Guide Service (218-846-9230) The largemouth bass fishing has been fantastic in the Detroit Lakes area the past week! They are hitting just about anything youre throwing at them - from surface baits to fishing the deep weedlines with plastic worms. Many of those fish have not spawned yet so please practice catch and release on these great fighting fish! The walleye bite is starting to pick up with the fish now pretty much in their summer patterns. The deep weedlines and breaks using a Lindy rig and leech or crawler are working well. Pelican, Big Cormorant, Lida, Lizzie, Crystal, Round, Little Bemidji, are all kicking out some fish. The bluegill bite remains strong on area lakes in the shallow water areas. The crappies, for the most part, have moved out into deeper water and in and along the deep cabbage.
DULUTH - Fishermans Corner, Scott, 7 miles north of Miller Mall on Hwy 53 (218-729-5369) Call for a recent fishing report!
DULUTH - Marine General, 1501 London Road, on the edge of Lake Superior (218-724-8833) The recent ALS Tournament on Island Lake proved that the walleye bite is great. Most anglers were successful. On Lake Superior the trout and salmon fishing has been good. The walleyes on superior are a little slower with the best reports coming from the state line. If youre going to the St. Louis for walleyes try the harbor area and use crawlers and spinners.
EDEN VALLEY Mikes Bait & Tackle, Mike, right off Hwy 55 (320-453-2248) The sunfish bite has been excellent on all area lakes. Walleyes have been slow with the best reports coming from Koronis and Rice. The bass fishing has been very good on all area lakes with the best bite in the shallows.
GRAND RAPIDS - Rapids Tackle, Don Wendt, 2 blocks west of Jerrys Liquor Warehouse (218-326-9838) We have had a good week of fishing. The walleyes are starting to act more like they should. They are showing up on the bars more often. They are also starting to hit on rigs with crawlers or leeches more everyday. There are still fish in the shallows because the minnows are still spawning. On Winnie look at the west side, around Ravens Point and Mallard. The High Banks region has been good on cloudy days. Bowstring and Splithand Lakes have been getting better right along. Use crawlers and leeches for starters here. Most of the bass lakes have been hot. A lot of top water baits are doing well. You can also use plastic at the weed edges. Muskie action was kind of slow.
GREY EAGLE - Nancys Bait & Tackle, Rex, on CR 2, four miles east of the Rock Tavern on Big Birch Lake, four miles west of Upsala (320-285-2405) Call for a current report.
HACKENSACK - Swansons Bait & Tackle, Jim Tuller, Hwy 371 on the north end of Hackensack (218-675-6176) The panfish and bass fishing has been great! Smallmouth females have been moving into beds with the largemouth being found in the shallows. The crappies have moved out to 8 to 10 feet of water. Your best bet for walleyes would be on Woman Lake but they have slowed in the area.
KABETOGAMA-NAMAKAN Gateway Store, US Hwy 53 & CO Rd 122, 30 miles south of Intl Falls-Canadian border, Phil Hart (218-875-2121) Finally fishing has picked up the pace on Kabetogama and Namakan. Resort anglers and guides have been surprised and pleased with the turn-a-round from the slow early season start. Slot walleyes from the 2001 hatch are showing up eager to bite in the 8-foot shallows as well as at the 16-20 range. Mid-week to the weekend the bite was on for walleyes. The favored bait was leeches, with crawlers running a close second. Slip sinker rigs out performed ball jigs. Soft bottom and sand bottom structures on the windward sides of shorelines and reefs gave up more walleyes than the rock reefs being occupied now by smallmouth bass. Early evenings the walleyes are going shallow in the hunt of perch minnows and daytime they seem to be active in the 16- to 25-foot depths. Northern pike action has let up some, reports are they can be found in the weedy bays or on the edge of same. Bays like Mud, Daily and Nebraska on Kab and Hoist Bay and Junction Bay on Namakan. Smallmouth action should be heating up as they complete spawning. Water temperatures in the high 60s reaching well into the 70s in the daytime sun. Best tip this coming week is to be armed with leeches and crawlers for walleyes and start using lures for pike and smallmouth.
LAKE OF THE WOODS Area Tourism Bureau, Jane, near junction of Hwy 11 and Hwy 172 in Baudette (1-800-382-FISH) Lake of the Woods produced yet another successful weekend for fishing. Catching and releasing fish was the trend this past weekend as the fish were practically jumping into the boat. Anglers wouldnt even have a fish out of the net, and the net was needed for another fish. June is generally thought of the easiest month to catch fish, its proving accurate this year. Drift with a spinner and a minnow or tie a jig on and anchor or drift, either way, walleyes are cooperating. Fish were being caught right along Pine Island by Long point. Most success came from gold spinners and minnows. Walleye caught were between 12- 15 inches, perfect for a fish fry at the end of the day. The long point area did produce some larger fish, but still within the slot limit. The Northwest Angle created some great fishing for anglers as well. Spinners and bottom bouncers showed the most success on the Northwest Angle. Little Oak Island seemed to be the hot spot for walleye. Limits were being caught in 3-4 passes meaning large amounts of fish were being released daily. Walleye werent the only fish biting as one angler caught and released a 38-pound muskie.
LEECH LAKE Andersons Resorts, Tim (1-800-516-0077) Fishing has been good on Leech Lake. The bright calm weather has made the walleye bite a lowlight deal. Sand Point has had a great night bite for keeper walleyes. Walker Bay and the Narrows have also been producing some keeper size walleyes. Perch have been on a feeding frenzy with some real jumbos in the mix. Agency Bay has had a good number of jumbo perch coming in up by the Roosevelt Channel. Fish are moving out of the shallow bays so work the close drop-offs. Northern are very active in any bay you choose.
MANKATO The Bobber Shop, North Riverfront Drive (507-625-8228) For crappies try Bakers Bay on lake Washington in 7 to 12 feet of water using flu flus. Also try in front of the cracker box on Lake Washington as well. Sunfish and crappies have been going on Duck Lake and the west end of Francis, panfish have been biting in 7 to 12 feet of water.
METRO AREA EAST Blue Ribbon Bait & Tackle, Oakdale (651-777-2421) The St. Croix is still excellent for walleyes. If you havent gotten down there do it. Bass have been doing well in the area. The best action has been on Demontreville, Jane and Elmo in the evenings. Powers Lake in Woodbury has been good for northerns and bass.
MILLE LACS Lundeens Tackle Castle, Bill Lundeen, Onamia (320-532-3416) Were seeing some excellent fishing on the mud flats the past five days - good mix of keepers and throw-backs have kept anglers busy so far this week. Shermans, 7-mile and Seguchie are good starting spots. The walleye have been active from 22-35 feet, but youll find most of the fish on the deep side of the break in 28+. Leeches and crawlers have both been good. The gravel is starting to produce a little better but its still a week or so off from good. In the evenings, look to the smaller rock piles along the south end and the east side. Fish these areas in 8-18 feet with a slip bobber/leech. The bass opener came and went with mixed reports - gusty winds made sight fishing difficult. Many of the smallies are still on the beds... look for them to make the transition to their summer haunts soon. Northern fishing has been best in Isle Bay so far - small suckers are working the best.
MILLE LACS Chris Kuduk's Guide Service, Chris Kuduk (320-630-1761) The gravel and the mud are doing very good. Spinner and crawlers have been the best presentation on the gravel. The bite on the mud has been good on both crawlers and leeches. Work the edges of the flats slowly with a ten-foot leader, colored hook and an orange bead for bets results. The shallow rock bite is still good in the evenings and on windy days. Smallmouth have been doing very well. Try the bays and rocks. One angler reported a 50 fish day just last weekend. It should be a good year for muskies as well.
MONTEVIDEO DJs Sporting Goods, Jon Dahlvang, east Hwy 7, south side of Hwy, (320-269-7265) Call for a current report.
NISSWA - Daves Sportland Bait & Tackle, Jason, 2 miles south of Nisswa at the Intersection of Hwy 371 and Cty Rd 77, next to Schaefers Foods (218-963-2401) We are now starting to catch a mixed bag of fish in the Nisswa area. The bass are practically jumping in the boat. Anglers are catching a ton of bass on small spinnerbaits, plastic worms, or tube style baits. Bass are hanging in the shallows and out on the shallow weed flats from 3-10 feet. The pike action is also heating up. The south end of Gull is producing some nice fish up to 10 pounds on live bait rigs and redtail chubs or sucker minnows. Trolling has also produced the pike. The crappies are still a bit of a mystery since they spawned. Look for the crappies to start showing up in 10-12 feet of water along the weed edges. Bluegills are spawning and are easy targets. Just throw some worms or small leeches in the shallows for some great action. Walleye action has been fantastic on Mille Lacs. We are seeing some great catches from all over the lake. You can catch them on the mud flats, rock reefs, or on the north end sand. A Lindy and a leech or a slip bobber and a leech is really putting fish in the boat. Other lakes that are producing are Gull, Edwards and Round. Try fishing redtail chubs in 12-22 feet for the best action. The lakes are pretty quiet from the lack of boat traffic. So enjoy it while you can, July is coming soon.
PARK RAPIDS Delaneys Sport Center, Kevin, East 1st St (218-732-4281) Call for a report!
PELICAN RAPIDS Park Region Sport Shop, Lee Brenna, Intersection of Interstate 59 and 108 in downtown Pelican Rapids (800-962-8553) The fishing in the area has been fantastic. Good reports have been coming in for northerns, panfish and crappies. The walleye reports are not as good but everything else is biting. The bass has been reported as excellent as well. No specific lakes have been hotter than others. Good Luck!
RAINY LAKE Rainy Lake Tourism (1-800-FALLS-MN) There are plenty of fish in the lake, and the river for that matter. Anglers have been hitting walleye in 6-10 feet of water on the river and along the shorelines of Rainy Lake in just slightly deeper water. Minnows worked on jigs seem to be the best bet right now, and northern pike have been very aggressive at attacking lures trolled on weed edges. Theres been little talk of smallmouth bass, but some anglers have found plenty of crappie action in Black Bay. Some of the best fishing reports have been coming from the west end of Rainy Lake and from the confluence of the Littlefork on Rainy River.
RED WING Four Seasons Sport Shop, 2301 W Main St (651-388-4334) The walleye bite has been good on the Bay City flats in 8-10 feet of water. Try trolling with shad raps & spinners or leeches and jigs.
SAINT CLOUD Corkys Gas & Bait , Main Street in Rockville (320-251-1567) The panfish fishing has been excellent in 7-12 feet of water. Use waxworms and small jigs. The crappies have been found in 10-15 feet of water outside of the weeds, using flu flus and crappie minnows. Walleyes have been picking up on Pearl Lake and Rice Lake, try using a leech and jig combo working he deeper water near weeds. The best reports have been in the early morning or late evenings. The bass are really biting on the inside edges of the weeds. Northerns have been hot on the outside edges of the weeds using sucker minnows or spinnerbaits. If you're looking for catfish try the holes in the Horseshoe, good reports have been coming in. For catfish use artificial cat baits or crawlers.
SAINT CLOUD Stop Light Bait, 8th Avenue SE, St. Cloud (320-255-9689) Call for a report!
SPICER - Mels Sportshop, Hwy 23 and Ruth Street (320-796-2000) Call for a report!
STARBUCK - Minnewaska Bait, Larry Jensen, Hwy 29 near the Starbuck Marina (320-239-2239) The bass fishing has been excellent in the shallows, near docks, and Starbuck marina using spinnerbaits. Walleye have been biting in 20 to 24 feet of water on Minnewaska in front of the high school on crawlers and leeches. Sunfish have been found in the bull rushes and anglers have had success using waxworms or small leeches.
STILLWATER - Jimmy's Bait and Tackle, Stillwater (651-430-2554) The St. Croix walleyes have been hanging out in 15-20 feet of water during the daytime, and in the shallows for the evening bite. Good reports of Muskies being caught are coming from Bald Eagle, Forest and Owasso. Try bright colors or bucktails. For more up to date info visit www.stcroixfishing.com
WACONIA - Mases In Towne Marine, Cindy, corner of Lake and Elm (952-442-2096) Walleyes have been biting well in 22 feet of water; there was a nice 29¼ inch walleye that came in this past weekend. Leeches and crawlers have been best for walleyes. Sunfish and crappies are biting well in the shallows on crappie minnows, if they arent there try a little deeper; we have had reports of fish being caught in the 12-14 foot range as well. Muskie fishing has been reported as good on the south shore. Bass fishing is excellent all over on spinnerbaits or weedless hooks.
WAYZATA - Wayzata Bait & Tackle, Tim or Bob, half mile west off I-494 on Hwy 12 (952-473-2227) Muskies are on the flats in 12 feet of water and have been responding well to bucktails. Northerns are in 10-15 feet of water and biting spinners and suckers. The sunfish are on their beds and biting on waxworms and small jigs. Crappies are being found in 6-10 feet of water. The bass fishing has been good overall. Walleyes are being found in the evenings in 18-24 feet of water using chartreuse floaters with a bottom bouncer and leeches.
WINNIBIGOSHISH Walleye Visions, Tom Neustrom, 21622 Airport Rd, Grand Rapids (218-327-2312) We are going through some weather that no one in the Big Winnie area has ever seen in fifty years. The surface temperatures are warmer than we even see in July at times, and that has put the skids to the walleye fishing slightly. We know the walleyes are around but they are changing locations almost daily. The weed bite on jig and shiner has been the saving grace, but if you want to tangle with the bigger fish then they are starting to show up on the bars and humps. Roach rigs and a leech and a crawler seem to be working better than the jig and shiner. The shiners are done running and they have vacated a lot of the shallow areas and that means that the walleyes will be right behind them forever where they go in the Summertime. We haven't had a significant bug hatch as we speak, but that will come any day now. The northern pike have been showing up in the weed beds and many pike over 5 pounds have been taken this past week. The crappies are either done spawning or finishing on the beds and the bluegill fishing was red-hot in Little Cufoot last week. Remember, this is Northern Minnesota and things can change quickly. We can still have a lot of cooler weather in the next few weeks. Enjoy your days on the water, keep on thinking, and be safe.

Fishing is much more than fish. It is the great occasion when we may return to the fine simplicity of our forefathers.
