My maternal grandfather, Viateur LeBrun,(whose birth date is Feb. 26,1895) left Kankakee, Il in 1934. I have recently discovered that he registered for WWII in April of 1942, listing Billboard Office of Cincinnati, Ohio as an address who would always know where he is. His employer was Sutton Greater Shows, a traveling carnival. The registrar's report was signed by a registrar of board #2, Franklin, Il. I would be very interested in any info about him.

I was a little hesitant when they told us they were sending down SINGER22 t-shirts to shoot, until I was pleasantly surprised. I thought, honestly, they were going to be white/grey/and black t-shirts that just said SINGER22, but when I opened the box, it was filled with all different neon colors, they made it sort of crop top, off the shoulder, football jersey writing. I fell in love. They didn't use your typical hot pink, orange, yellow neons – they used turquiose and green which look awesome on. I also love the v-neck tees that say SINGER22 loves me. They're a perfect hang out piece, to wear around the house, or even to run some errands. I'd probably wear it with jean shorts or leggings. I'd also probably pair it with my Sam Edelman sneakers I got at SINGER22, I live in them! Pick out your favorite here!

I loved the extensive training I received; I now feel prepared to start a career in tax accounting and am confident it is what I want to do. I also loved interacting with staff at all levels of the company; the partners were just as eager to mentor interns as the staff and senior accountants. The pay was terrific, the hours were typical tax season hours, and the company did a great job of making sure we knew what was expected of us and still had room for flexibility.
The training was a bit overwhelming at first, but was definitely worth it in the end.
My best advice is to interview; you can get a sense of who works at the company, the type of work that will be expected of you, and the culture you can expect to find. Wipfli offers competitive pay, a fantastic work environment that focuses on taking care of their employees especially when they're at their busiest time of the year, and a very hands-on experience.
I can't think of anything.
I found this review helpful (0 others have found this review helpful)
Report abuse
My co-workers were extremely helpful and willing to answer any question. I was able to learn an incredible amount of information in a short period of time.
Since my internship was in tax during tax season, the hours got long but that is the nature of busy season. At the beginning there is also a lot of programs to learn and become comfortable with.
The internship is such a great experience and you are constantly learning so much that the internship starts and seems to end too soon.
Socials for employees
The fact that interns get to be involved with clients.
There is nothing I didn't like
be open to new experiences and don't be afraid to ask questions
Give more evaluations throughout the internship
Family enviroment. Good learning experience.
Not well prepare for the internship job
Very good coworker. Partner talk to you and share their experience like a family.
Training and procedure
Being able to gain firsthand experience by preparing tax returns and having the opportunity to work out in the field.
At times work was a little slow so I was to scan in files, sometimes as long as a day.
Everyone at the firm is extremely knowledgable and willing to help with the learning process. There is an open door policy that allows you to ask questions from your peers which help speed up that learning process.
There is a lot to learn so a little more training would have been beneficial, and also would have cut down on the time I had to figure programs out on my own.
I liked being able to work on all different types of tax returns. I felt like I had a lot of different experiences.
I didn't like how little of work there was to do in January and how much there was in April, but that is to be expected. That is just how a tax season is, and there is really no way to get around it.
It is a great organization to work for. Be ready to ask questions.
Learning how the real world works. Everyone was very patient and always wanted to help.
The amount of work, but it was tax season so it is to be expected.
Be ready to learn a lot and work hard. It is a great firm to work for.
Training can be improved a lot. Some programs I had to learn by trial and error. I think that could be minimized by implenting a formal training session that utilizes all the programs that are used normally by staff.
The people of the company and the help they were willing to give.
Fast paced.
The employees are willing to help you in any way.
Applying what I had learned in school, and finding out that I actually do know how to do accounting in the real world. Getting experience working in an office setting and meeting a lot of people who are great contacts. Learning a lot of things that I was never taught in school about accounting and about office culture/etiquette
It was stressful at times because as deadlines came up, there would be a much more succinct time line. It was never anything that I couldn't handle and sometimes made the experience more fun, and I also felt a lot more productive.
You will meet a lot of people who want to help you succeed at your internship. You will learn a lot more than you ever thought you could. You'll be interacting with everyone in the office, rather than just the other interns, and you will feel very valued and appreciated. You will come away from the internship loving accounting, not wondering what you had chosen this career path. And it will make you look forward to starting your career and life in the accounting world.
More communications and follow up on specific jobs/clients would probably be helpful. Sometimes it is hard to know if there needs to be more work done on a project or if there were any open items that were resolved.
Very good pay. Always enough work to keep busy. Great people to work with. I learned a lot. Good training provided by the company.
Crazy hours. Worked 6 days a week most weeks.
The company is a very relaxed company and very accomodating to individuals when it comes to life outside of the office. They are very flexible as far as hours go.
Interns need more direction on what is expected of them regarding hours, especially during tax season.

Keynote address at the Enterprise 2.0 Conference in Boston on June 22, 2011 given by: ...
Keynote address at the Enterprise 2.0 Conference in Boston on June 22, 2011 given by:
Tyler Knowlton, Chief Strategist on Digital Innovation for the Chief Trade Commissioner at the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada (DFAIT) and Debra Lavoy,
Director, Product Marketing, Digital and Social Media, Open Text
The G20 needed a more organized, more robust and highly secure way to negotiate issue documents and agendas prior to their 2010 Toronto summit. Tyler Knowlton, then a consultant and now the Chief Strategy Officer for Innovation at Canada's Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT), came up with a radical proposal – a secure, cloud-based collaboration environment where all of the global delegates could share and communicate easily. The initiative was a great success, and consequently continues to be used by the G20 today. Along the way, Tyler and the team learned a few unexpected lessons…not the least of which is how a clear, shared purpose activates a team.
Together with Deb Lavoy from OpenText, they will share what they've learned from dozens of case studies about the true route to collaboration, engagement and impact, and how you too can achieve it.

Klapisch: Giants' small-ball rules the Fall Classic
DETROIT – Jim Leyland fought to control his gathering tears, even if no one would've blamed him for breaking down. It was obvious the 67-year-old manager was hurting; the Tigers had just been whisked out of the World Series and Leyland, eyelids fluttering, admitted he never saw it coming.
"(There were) no bad breaks, no fluke, we got beat," he said. "You can't sit up here and try to find some reason or excuse. (The Giants) beat us, they earned it."
Historians will view the 2012 Fall Classic through different prisms, including the depressing reality of how little interest it generated around the country. Fox's TV ratings were among the lowest ever in the post-season, proof that baseball is rapidly morphing towards an NHL-like regionalization.
But there was plenty to love about the Giants' sweep, too, specifically in its affirmation of small-ball offense. Talk about a microcosm of the lineup's tenacity, it was Marco Scutaro's bloop single to center in the 10th inning that led the Giants to their 4-3 win.
It was San Francisco's second championship in three years – welcome to baseball's new dynasty – but more important was the repudiation of the American League's obsession with home runs. It was the third World Series in a row in which a more diverse, creative NL team schooled their muscle-bound AL counterparts.
No doubt it was thrilling to ride shotgun on Miguel Cabrera's Triple Crown campaign, the first of its kind since 1967, but he batted just .231 against the Giants. Prince Fielder was even more helpless – just .071 with no RBIs and five strikeouts in 14 plate appearances.
So while Bruce Bochy said he was "numb" from the Giants' incredible surge – seven straight wins beginning in the NLCS, including six in a row in elimination games – it was Leyland who admitted he was "flabbergasted" at the Tigers' collapse.
A .159 average from the same team that never trailed during its four-game, 39-inning take-down of the Yankees in the ALCS? It isn't just hard to believe, it should've been impossible for the Tigers to so completely divest from baseball's red carpet event. But you knew the calculus was being re-written as early as Game 1, when Barry Zito out-pitched Justin Verlander. Just like that, the Tigers had woken up in some alternate universe.
Leyland couldn't really explain it and neither could the Tigers. They talked about turning the page, moving on, scouring for whatever dividends they could find in October. And maybe that was the point in retrospect – beating the Yankees turned out to be the seminal moment in their season.
Granted, this wasn't the best Bomber team of the last decade, not by a long shot. But the Tigers did more than sweep the Yankees out of the ALCS, they embarrassed the $200 million monolith. And even if you think the Yankees' dynasty is in its final stages, like the last days of Rome, there's still a certain cache that comes with disassembling them, one component at a time.
Think of what the Yankees looked like by Game 4 of the ALCS, and you begin to understand why the Tigers were woozy with conquest: Derek Jeter was hurt, Nick Swisher declared war on the Bleacher Creatures, Robinson Cano had been reduced to an automatic out, Alex Rodriguez was a part-time player and Curtis Granderson was swinging and missing at such an alarming rate team officials were intending to send him to an eye doctor this off-season.
The Yankees had been shape-shifted beyond recognition. And to top it off, CC Sabathia, the last line of defense, was subjected to the worst pounding of his career in the finale. Not only did the lefthander fail to keep the Bombers alive in the series, he hustled them right out the door into a long off-season.
Couple the LCS euphoria with a five-day layoff before Game 1 of the World Series, and it's possible to believe the Tigers never had a chance. Certainly by Game 4, there was an air of inevitability at Comerica, even with Max Scherzer, who'd struck out 10 of the 22 Yankees he'd faced while beating Sabathia. But the Giants scored first on Brandon Belt's triple in the second inning, and the rest of the game was stamped: property of the laws of momentum.
Even after the Tigers tied the game at 3-3 on Delmon Young's solo HR in the sixth inning, you just knew the Giants would find a path, and it wouldn't require a blast over the wall. Remember, they were dead-last in the National League in home runs in 2012, but were still sixth in runs.
Even though Pablo Sandoval made history with his three HRs in Game 1 and was ultimately voted the Series MVP, it was Scutaro, the miniature Terminator, who prevailed in the 10th inning. With Ryan Theriot on second, he worked Phil Coke to a 3-1 count. Anyone who'd tracked Scutaro after the Giants acquired him from the Rockies this summer knew there was no chance of preventing contact.
Scutaro struck out in only 5.2 percent of his at-bats in the final two months of the season, and wouldn't you know, he squared up on a hanging curveball that Coke unsuccessfully tried bury down and in.
The ball looped into centerfield, and if Austin Jackson had taken a better, more direct route he might've caught it. Even after a moment of indecision, he could've and should've dove. Instead, the soft single landed at Jackson's feet and when Theriot crossed the plate, the Tigers had taken their last breath.
Oh, the fans did their best, artificially pumped up by the Animal House snippets on the scoreboard. But John Belushi's lines were tired, worn-out and no one could muster up the energy to fight the fates. The Tigers went down fast and easy in the bottom of the 10th- three punch-outs at the hands of closer Sergio Romo, including a called third strike on Cabrera.
It was only 10 days ago that he represented the power and the glory of what was supposed to be the Tigers' miracle run. Now, Cabrera and the Tigers were just bystanders as the Giants mobbed each other on the mound, turning into a riot of head-slaps and hugs that needed no translation in October: the world, baby, is all ours.

The tall, dark and handsome leading man who sported rugged looks, a slick, pencil-thin mustache and solid physique was certainly star material with the potential and durability of a Clark Gable and Errol Flynn, but he somehow lacked the star quality and charisma of the afore-mentioned. An avid outdoorsman, Taylor nevertheless churned out over 110 films during his lengthy career, appearing in a number of quality "A" pictures as a second lead.The son of farmers, he was born just southeast of Nashua, Iowa. As a teenager he performed in several high school plays. The family then moved to Waterloo, Iowa, where he made a living as a window trimmer in a ladies' clothing shop. After a brief move to Chicago, the family relocated to Los Angeles, where his father and he started an awning company. Taylor pursued acting as a profession after being introduced to director Henry King. He apprenticed for a couple of years in bit parts after making his unbilled debut in The Magnificent Lie (1931). He peaked in the 1930s with prominent support roles in Merrily We Go to Hell (1932) with Fredric March and Sylvia Sidney, I'm No Angel (1933) as one of Mae West's earnest pursuers, the classic Death Takes a Holiday (1934) again with Fredric March, the Will Rogers' vehicles David Harum (1934) and The County Chairman (1935), and Ramona (1936) top-lining Loretta Young and Don Ameche, which was directed by his old friend Henry King.Taylor then starred in his own modest succession of "B" programmers with Love in a Bungalow (1937), Pirates of the Skies (1939), Repent at Leisure (1941) , Mississippi Gambler (1942), Alaska (1944), The Crimson Key (1947), and The Sickle or the Cross (1949), which, at the very least, kept him busy and in the public eye. More noticeable during this period was his portrayal of Doc Holiday in Tombstone: The Town Too Tough to Die (1942) opposite Richard Dix's Wyatt Earp.With his film career on the decline, Taylor turned more and more to TV, becoming the medium's "Boston Blackie" (1951) for a couple of seasons, a role that had him following in the popular footsteps of film's Chester Morris as the urbane master thief-cum-detective. He followed that with a lead in the series "The Rough Riders" (1958). Taylor was also a frequent visitor on the sets of popular western series, including "Zorro," "Laramie," "The Rifleman" and "Rango." Toward the end of his career, however, the elderly actor took a bizarre John Carradine-like turn into Grade "Z" schlock. Some of these, which included such unbearables as The Crawling Hand (1963), Brides of Blood (1968), Satan's Sadists (1969), Hell's Bloody Devils (1970), Blood of Ghastly Horror (1972), and Girls for Rent (1974), made cult infamy as some of Hollywood's most notorious "turkeys." Taylor died following a series of heart operations at the age of 79.

PM vows action on UK-born jihadists
Speaking at a Downing Street press conference today, David Cameron said it was vital to stop UK-born jihadists trying to return home after fighting in the Middle East.
– David Cameron
The number of foreign fighters in that area [Iraq and Syria], the number of foreign fighters including those from the UK who could try to return to the UK - this is a real threat to our country.
We will do absolutely everything we can to keep our people safe.
That means stopping people from going, it means arresting people who are involved in plots, it means focusing our security, our policing, our intelligence effort on to that area of the world, on to those people.

Crossrail worker dies after tunnel plunge
The first worker has died on the £14.8 billion Crossrail project in the capital.
Union concern after first Crossrail worker diesby Simon Harris: Political Correspondent
Crossrail bosses have halted all tunnelling involving sprayed concrete following the death of a construction worker.Read the full story
Fisher Street Crossrail work suspended
– Crossrail spokesperson
"When the incident occurred, work was taking place to build a new crossover tunnel between two train tunnels that have already been constructed by Crossrail's boring machines.

Union: Contractor has some serious questions to answer
– Guy Langston, Unite regional officer
"Our deepest condolences go out to the family of the worker who has been tragically killed today.
Crossrail's contractor BFK has some serious questions to answer.
Unite is particularly concerned about health and safety at the site because this is not the first serious incident.
In December 2012, a worker sustained horrific burns when he cut through a cable.
We now expect BFK to meet with Unite as a matter of urgency.
The contractor must explain how it intends to do everything in its power to ensure that a tragic incident like this does not happen again."
– Gail Cartmail, Unite assistant general secretary
"We expect the coalition Government to pay special attention to this tragic incident.
Since the Government took power, there have been constant attacks on safety laws and regulations.
The Government should be strengthening health and safety laws, not weakening them."

"Sadly, at approximately 5am this morning a contractor working at our site in Fisher Street, London was fatally injured.
"Our first and foremost thoughts are with the family and friends affected by this. The next of kin are being informed.
"We are establishing the facts and a full investigation into the incident has commenced."

A 6-year-old Mission Viejo girl was hospitalized in critical condition and on a ventilator today, one of two people who nearly drowned in Orange County over the weekend, authorities said.
From Sandra Endo:
With summer-like temperatures more people are sure to head to the water and into pools, but this past week three people nearly drowned including two young children.
A six year old Mission Viejo girl is on a ventilator after her father left her and her three year old sister unattended in the pool only to come back to find the six year old at the bottom underwater. A neighbor helped performed CPR on the girl until paramedics arrived.
In another case, a three year old boy was found at the bottom of the swimming pool in Irvine. He was playing with his 7 year old brother who yelled for his dad. The father jumped in to save his son who was rushed to the hospital with fluid in his lungs.
Also in Irvine last Tuesday , a 78 year old man is in critical condition after being found underwater by a neighbor in an apartment complex swimming pool.
OC fire official say parents should only be an arms length away from kids 3 years old and younger while in the pool and older adults shouldn't be in the water alone.
Last year Orange County fire officials say there were 37 drowning deaths and 36 near drowning cases in the county.
Firefighters were called at 4:37 p.m. Sunday to a home in the 22000 block of Boltana where an off-duty paramedic who lived near the girl's family was performing CPR on the 6-year-old, said Orange County Fire Authority Capt. Steve Concialdi.
"The dad went inside the house and his 6-year-old daughter and 3-year-old daughter were left unattended in the pool," Concialdi said. "When the dad checked on the girls he found the 6-year-old at the bottom of the pool." The father screamed and pulled the girl out of the pool, the captain said. An off-duty paramedic who lives nearby started CPR on the girl, which Orange County Fire Authority firefighter-paramedics continued en route to the Mission Regional Medical Center, he said.
The girl's pulse returned en route to the hospital but she was still not breathing, Concialdi said. She was in critical condition on a ventilator in the hospital.
Just 90 minutes earlier, at 3:07, a 3-year-old boy was found at the bottom of a swimming pool at the Corte Bella condominium complex off Lombardi Aisle in Irvine, Concialdi said. The 3-year-old boy was in the pool with his 7-year-old brother. The 7-year-old yelled to the dad that the 3-year-old was under the water. Dad jumped in the pool, pulled out the boy, gave some rescue breaths and the child vomited," the captain said.
The child was transported to Children's Hospital of Orange County, where he was found to have fluid in his lungs, Concialdi said. "When a child is three or under, we highly recommend parents stay within arm's length in the water because they're not strong swimmers," he said.
A 78-year-old Irvine man was in critical condition after a neighbor at an apartment complex found him underwater in a swimming pool last Tuesday. The neighbor saw him sitting at the edge of the pool when she went inside her apartment and found him drowning when she came out, Concialdi said.
That case shows "older adults shouldn't be in or around the water alone," he said. There were 37 drowning deaths and 36 near-drowning cases in Orange County in 2013, he said. Some of the people who survived "had severe neurological damage," Concialdi said.
One of those deaths came last year -- 11 years after a 22-month-old girl was found drowning in a pool, he said. She spent the rest of her life on a ventilator.
Sunday's incidents bring to 13 the number of drowning or near-drowning cases in Orange County in 2014, Concialdi said. Six of those patients died.
"They're completely preventable. That's the sad thing," he said. "It's going to be a hot summer with lots of people in pools and adults must watch children in the water at all times. They should not be on the phone.
They should not be texting," Concialdi said. There should be a designated water-watcher at gatherings, he said.
When children find themselves in danger in a swimming pool "they splash, they get scared, they panic and they breathe in and get water in their lungs," Concialdi said. They don't scream or make sounds that could alert someone nearby.
People should not go in the water after consuming alcohol or drugs, he added. Some of the drowning cases last year were adults who consumed alcohol or drugs and fell asleep in bathtubs, slipping underwater, Concialdi said. He noted firefighters are affected when children drown or are left on ventilators. A chaplain was dispatched to provide counseling at the fire station of the paramedics who tended to the Mission Viejo girl.

As a movie, Hamlet 2 is lively, energetically daft, and very, very scrappy -- a broader, more loony-tunes knockoff of "Waiting for Guffman."
Funny excuses an awful lot, and at its best, Hamlet 2 is nothing short of hilarious.

Accepting the new reality
Barak Obama and Mitt Romeny make election calls 370 (R).
(photo credit:Brian Snyder / Reuters)
There were a few bleary-eyed people walking around Wednesday morning, including
many of those gathered before the big screen in the auditorium of the
Association of Americans and Canadians in Israel's national headquarters in
Jerusalem.They had either come straight from an all-nighter or had risen
early to view the cable news networks in the US declare at around 6.30 a.m.
President Barack Obama the winner in the presidential race against Mitt
Romney.Clearly there was a sense that there was a lot at stake in the
race, not just for Americans, but for everyone. As AACI Executive Director David
London pointed out to the mostly American-born Jerusalem residents munching on
rugelach and drinking coffee, "The whole world was watching" as American voters
granted Obama their narrow vote of confidence to lead their country for another
four years.And nobody was watching more closely than those of us in
Israel, especially those of with roots in America. I was there to host a
Jerusalem Post-sponsored round table featuring an astute panel of observers –
New York Times Jerusalem bureau chief Jodi Rudoren, who arrived four months ago
after many years covering US issues including the 2004 presidential campaign,
Jerusalem-based political consultant and pollster Mitchell Barak, who's worked
with President Shimon Peres and former prime minister Ariel Sharon, and Robert
Slater, one of the most experienced journalists in Israel, who has written for
everyone from UPI to Time to Newsweek.They provided clear and rational
thoughts on reasons why Romney failed to win the support of a majority of
American (ranging from he's not the "I'd like to hang out and have a beer with
him" kind of guy to suspicions surrounding his Mormon faith, to just not
captivating Republican voters), how much a second Obama term is likely to focus
on foreign affairs and specifically the Middle East (not much) and if the
US-Israel relationship is heading toward a collision course with Obama and
presumably Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu remaining in power
(unlikely).The talk was followed by an equally provocative session
hosted by the Post's deputy managing editor Tovah Lazaroff with Bloomberg senior
editor and former Post managing editor Calev Ben-David, and the Post columnist
and former executive editor Amotz Asa-el.We had all just finished
watching Obama's victory speech – a speech which was as good as it gets in its
efforts to reach out to an American electorate at its most divisive point since
probably the US Civil War. It may not have matched the emotions Obama evoked
four years ago when he became America's first black president, but it was a
moving speech aimed at healing.As Mitchell Barak pointed out, "It was
the Obama that people fell in love with four years ago."And it's a
little brotherly love that's in need in the US right now. Supporters of both
Obama and Romney resorted to distortion, character assassination, lies and
threats in their efforts to prove that their narrative is the only
truth.A Martian landing in the US and flipping channels between MSNBC
and FOXNews – equally guilty of pushing blatant agendas under the guise of
journalism – would be excused for thinking that his transporter had
malfunctioned and he had arrived in two mutually exclusive
countries.Romney certainly suffered from a disinformation campaign waged
against him, but most of the vitriol, it seems, has been reserved for Obama. And
this is where we in Israel come in to play. Some of the most rational people I
know turn into raving conspiracy theorists as soon as the topic of Obama and
Israel come up.I'm sure you've heard countless Obama detractors in
Israel refer to him "Barack Hussein Obama." I've never asked why they like to
emphasize his middle name – because I'm afraid of the answers I'll get – "He's
an Arab... he hates Israel... he'll never stand by us."That misplaced
hatred belies the fact that, despite some rocky times, Obama's first-term
policies toward Israel neatly fell within the parameters of all of his post-
Oslo predecessors. Like all previous US presidents – Republican and Democratic
alike – he's had his sensitive issues which have placed him in conflict with his
Israeli counterpart.All three panelists noted that although the
president is now free of constraints in his second term, he's unlikely to launch
a major push on the Israel-Palestinian front and will likely keep the same
"sanctions first" policy on Iran. And as Obama confidante Rahm Emanuel pointed
out after the election, the notion that it was payback time or an opportunity
for revenge against a seemingly intransigent Israel was absurd.For those
who hoped that Obama would be a one-term president, it's time to lower the heat,
take the blinders off and accept the fact that despite attempts to inaccurately
portray him as the devil incarnate, he was elected as the American president for
the next four years. It's something his detractors – and Israeli leaders – need
to internalize by the time January 22 and our elections here roll
around.He's no longer a temporary historical aberration, and Netanyahu,
who was perceived by most everyone to not-so-silently endorse Romney, needs to
realize that more than anyone else.As Barak pointed out, Netanyahu
"backed the wrong horse" in the race."Whoever is elected prime minister
is going to have to handle the US-Israel relationship, and we all know Netanyahu
is not the right guy," Barak said.If he's chosen to form the next
government as all polls currently show, our current prime minister will have to
find a way to work with Obama on the pressing issues facing Israel.These
next four years will be extremely fateful, and here's hoping that our election
process will be a demonstration of democracy as heartfelt as the one we just
experienced in the United States.

Put your best foot forward.
To act in a way that causes other people to have a good opinion of you. All I could do is put my best foot forward and hope I make a good impression. From the Cambridge Dictionary of American Idioms.
Lets make one change to this idiom.
Put your best photos forward.
When you set up your website or a portfolio of your images to showcase, only include your very best images.
It's better to show only your very best images, and not try an increase the size of the portfolio by adding any of your average images.
You may end up with a smaller group of images, but the viewer is more likely to be impressed if they only see top notch images.
As soon as they see your average or below average images, their opinion of you as a good photographer will change.
They will see your flaws.
So hold back those average images and only add more when you have more great images.
