Status updates don't have to be about crafting--in fact, studies show that pages that only talk about their product have more followers leaving faster than pages that shake things up and talk about all sorts of topics. I did not believe it when I first heard that tip, but after hearing it several times I did give it a try. I have found it to be very true.
Another trick that can help you stay consistent with posting to your business page can be as simple as a theme for the week, or daily themes or topics. It can also generate increased engagement with your followers. Just like a blog series, you gain momentum when people know they can regularly get fresh content on a topic they are already interested in. They will spread the word in an effective fashion because they can tell their friends, "hey, on Thursdays, this gal posts tutorials." People like a schedule and they tend to follow pretty consistent patterns of online behavior. Your goal should be to become part of their pattern.
Being able to schedule your posts means you can grab a bunch of inspiring quotes off Pinterest and set them up to auto-post for weeks in advance. "Blast from the Past" or Throwback Thursday-type posts can also be set up to go live in the future since you're pulling from past projects.
One note of caution, however: I wouldn't over-schedule your week, at least not publicly, because you don't want your followers to feel manipulated. Weekly themes don't have to be shared in public at all, actually. If it helps you to know to post something related to motivation on Mondays, a sale on Tuesdays, a recipe or food status on Wednesday, a call to action on Thursdays, organizational on Friday, and something funny on Saturdays, that's great--and no one need ever know you actually have that written on a to-do list.
I hope you've gotten some good tips to try out on Facebook. The results of my year-long experiment with boosting my Facebook presence are in, and my sales were up over $9,000 over the last twelve months. My total recruits also rose by four over the past year. It takes a lot of stick-to-it-iveness, but it does work. I'm excited to refine my posting style, further develop my online voice, and see where Facebook and I go next year.
Dream BIG, friends! And don't give up on Facebook.
Sharing a fun little game I made up for my team meeting tonight, where you correctly match up the first and last words in 20 two-word stamp set names and see who is finished the fastest.
You are welcome to use the PDF files for your own use; however, if you are viewing this post at a later date, be aware that the stamps may have retired.
This game can be used to help demonstrators become familiar with a new catalog and you can let them use the book if you wish, disallowing use of the index, of course! A shorter version could be used with customers who are pretty familiar with the catalog, but I wouldn't suggest this one for new stampers.

Pulled together a handout with tips and tricks for using the Blendabilities alcohol-based markers, to be used in training my team on the basics of using and selling this fun new product. The thoughts were compiled from personal experience, training videos, and official printed materials on the topic.
You are welcome to use the PDF handout for your team or your customers. If at any point you feel the material is no longer up-to-date, please let me know and I will edit it as necessary.

I know I've raved on here before about These Are My Stamps, the fantastic new site built by demonstrators for demonstrators, and here I go again, because my amazing friends Kristin and Aron have added features that are going to knock your socks off if you are a blogger!
Weekly Deal Link Generator
Every Tuesday when the Weekly Deal comes out, I used to spend twenty minutes or more composing a blog post, laboriously looking up each and every sale item in my online store, typing it out and linking it. Now, it takes me less than five minutes to post the Weekly Deals because TAMS now has a Weekly Deal link generator. Once I've logged in, TAMS adds my demonstrator ID to the html links so they will go to MY DBWS and not the main site. Then I just copy the code to my blog post and it's done!
I can choose either a straight text list, or photos of the products, with or without item numbers and sale vs. regular prices, whichever I prefer. It looks professional, is completely clickable, takes just a minute to do each week, and best of all, is FREE to all users regardless of whether or not you are on the TAMS Pro plan.
Weekly Deal Blog Widget
How would you like a sweet, professional-looking slideshow of the weekly specials that automatically appeared on your blog each Tuesday without you having to lift a finger? And how would you like it if the pictures of the sale items were clickable links, and went straight to your own DBWS? Yeah, I thought so!
TAMS has just such a widget, and has made it ridiculously easy to install in any blog platform. It's even customizable in width, so no matter what blog layout you use, it will display correctly.
If you use these amazing new tools, be sure to leave a note thanking the TAMS team for generously providing them for the good of all Stampin' Up demonstrators! I hope you'll check out how TAMS can help you streamline your to-do list as it has mine. Be sure to like TAMS on Facebook so you can hear first about all the latest and greatest updates.
Dream BIG, friend! Ready to enjoy blogging again?
One of the biggest things Stampin' Up has in its favor is the size and breadth of the product offering. Our catalog is more than twice the size of other direct sales companies' catalogs. Many other companies' catalogs are little more than a glorified brochure, with one or two products per page and only 40-50 actual products for sale.
Contrast that to Stampin' Up: we have an enormous and varied product line! I was unable to find any good way to compare but I believe ours is the largest single annual publication from a home party company. We carry far more than the average direct sales company. As of the time of this writing, we have 3,172 total current products for sale right now. Amazing!
The good news is, we truly never run out of things to sell. There are always new things and new ways of combining old things. If we ever get bored or our customers say they don't have anything to buy, it's because we're getting lazy with the creative side of things, not because we truly don't have enough products to sell. It means we also have a wide variety of products, to appeal to a wide range of customers and not just a narrow audience.
The bad news is, it can be overwhelming to narrow it down to two or three projects for an event, and it can be hard to choose what to focus on out of all the enticing possibilities available for us. Especially if you're new, you can find yourself running from thing to thing to thing like a kid on Kool-aid, and not going about your business in a strategic fashion.
I don't want the catalog to be smaller. I really don't. Momentary convenience would have too many tradeoffs as over and over again I introduced people to paper-crafting, only to have them outgrow our offerings and start looking elsewhere for new things. SO--The solution, then, and what I'd like to focus on today, is selectively demonstrating key products in the format and at the events for which they are best suited—and letting the rest sell themselves.
We're going to look at three main points today:
1. Narrowing the Field: Just like you don't have to own it all to sell it, realize you don't have to advertise it all to sell it. Don't feel guilted into getting into a product line if you are not excited about it or don't have the time and energy to really have a good go at it. Lots of people didn't advertise the fabric or jewelry lines we used to carry and it didn't hurt them at all. You may leave a small amount of business on the table by not getting into one of the peripheral product lines we carry, but in all likelihood it will be outweighed by the increase in focus on the rest of the offerings.
You don't necessarily have to sell everything Stampin' Up sells. You should know what we carry, and where to find info on what we carry, but you don't have to make an investment in and train yourself on absolutely everything we sell.
You can also narrow down the mental overwhelm by knowing that when we demonstrate one ink pad, we're sharing the benefits of 40 ink pads. When we show things in Designer Series Papers, we're demonstrating on behalf of all the patterns. So while we have this gigantic product line, we can cluster some products into groups and only demo one item from the group. Same thing with markers, ribbon styles, cardstock, even stamp sets—what we show them is representative of the field of products. A flagship product, if you will. We don't have to demo all forty ink pads to get them to buy all forty ink pads.
2. Know Your Customers: If your business is mostly online, you may not have a "typical" customer. However, for 99% of us, we have a local customer base and we usually know them pretty well. While it's important not to limit yourself or them to only a certain style or type of product, it's also important not to waste your time demonstrating scrapbooking to them if they are only into cardmaking and have repeatedly told you they're not into scrapping. Or if they have asked you to focus on techniques, it doesn't make sense to show them kits or talk about Paper Pumpkin. It doesn't mean that we're going to refuse to talk about or sell those products, of course, but it can mean that we're not taking up precious workshop time sharing those particular items at this time.
a. Case in Point: I had a club of very spendy stampers who always have to have the latest and greatest. Their orders every month averaged $75-100, far more than the minimum $25 required to purchase for club. As a result, I was constantly running out of things to show them because they already "had it all." They don't, of course, have it ALL—so my task was to focus on the lesser-known, less-automatically-appealing products in the catalogs, to give them something to add to their order forms each month. For the most part, it's more cost effective and time efficient if I focus on the "middle of the road" customer, buying more of the smaller, less pricey items that I can upsell to the rest of my customer base as well the big spenders.
b. The key here is knowing your customers. Paying attention. Listening to what they say, and what they don't say. Ask your hostess if she got any feedback after the workshop. When the new catalog comes out, listen to what they ooh and ahh over and what makes them go "Huh."
c. Pay attention to who comes to what. I have used the Workshop Planner worksheet (in the Printing Place section of the website) since I started nine years ago. I know exactly what we made at so-and-so's last workshop and I can see that we made envelopes with the Envelope Punch Board. I took that thing with me everywhere I went for a month after it came out. I sold one to every single person there sometimes! Now in a few months I can go back around and demo it again with a different project, because the second time around I'll catch everyone who hadn't purchased it the first time, sell more paper to those who already had it, and get them excited about using it again. That sort of strategy is not accidental. And it comes from knowing your audience.
3. Use all Available Avenues: In the modern age, we have a large variety of options available to us when it comes to showcasing our product. When I first started, we had the home workshop, or a monthly club, and that was it. A paper newsletter we copied and mailed out four times a year. Nowadays many of us have blogs, most of us have business Facebook pages, we can text and tweet and Instagram and Pin—there are a dozen different ways to get our products out there in front of customers' eyes. We have virtual clubs, online classes, YouTube videos, livestreaming, specialty Facebook groups, podcasts… the list goes on and on. We have options. It's exciting!
a. So now we get to look at our huge and varied product line and decide what avenues work best for what products. Some things are obvious. Blendabilities, for instance, will probably best be demonstrated in person or using videos that show the markers in action. We know there will be a learning curve there that might not make them the best choice for a workshop setting, but perfect for a club or a series of classes where people could layer on what they've learned and get that crucial practice time.
b. Another example would be My Digital Studio. It lends itself to group classes or webinars where a customer can watch the action happening on the screen, but isn't very effective just being talked about at a workshop. It would be great to mention regularly on Facebook or share pages on Instagram, because of the potential of a more tech-savvy audience seeing it there.
c. The Big Shot, on the other hand, is a small miracle of a machine, and to get them to understand how it works there's no substitute for hands-on training or demonstrating. Other than being stinkin' heavy, it's perfect for workshops, classes, clubs and stamp camps. I can count on one hand the number of events I have done that did not include the Big Shot since it came out for Stampin' Up in 2008. I always try to bring one of each type of die or accessory along, regardless of what I am using on my project. For instance, if I am using the Top Not Bigz die, I will also bring along an embosslit, a Framelit and an embossing folder. They are small and don't take up much room at all. That way I can quickly demonstrate all the main things you can do with the machine to that one person there who hasn't seen it before.
d. You can't share all that in a tweet. You aren't going to be able to give them that hands-on tactile experience in an e-newsletter. So think about the product line in terms of what avenues you have at your disposal that would best showcase those items. And realize it may be time to learn a new avenue. Update your knowledge base and find a better avenue for working with some of these different product lines, so that you aren't leaving money on the table.
Four Quick Guidelines for Choosing What to Show:
1. Seasonal projects. What are they going to need to fill their needs and successfully complete items for the next three holidays? This gives them a logical reason to buy now. Make sure the date is enough in advance that they will be able to get the products and create the project in time. If you have a cute punch art bunny you want to do, but it's the day before Easter, you're better off to have your Make N Take be a graduation or wedding card. Give the bunny card to your hostess attached to a bag of jelly beans, so everyone can see your adorable punch art and get the idea, but save your precious hands-on experiences at the workshop for the maximum impact and maximum sales potential.
2. Products that coordinate with those seasonal items or that make them even more versatile so they can be used all year round. This makes them feel like they are making a smart purchase. People love to feel clever! I always try to look for something to praise about their order when it comes to checkout time. "Oh, I'm glad you put the refill on here with your new ink pad. So many people forget to buy the reinkers and then they're stuck waiting for an order to come in when their pad gets dry. Getting it when you buy the pad really is the best strategy."
3. Products that coordinate with items on sale. You'll notice I did not say "are on sale."They are probably going to buy the sale items anyway, so upsell different items to them instead of just "re-selling" the sale items. Sale items are impulse items. You know, like the magazines and candy and energy drinks they sell at the cash registers at the grocery store. They are meant to be added to an order, not BE the order. So demo what goes with those sale items.
4. Products that you have on hand. It about kills me to say this, but don't order unless you need to. Many demos order far more than they will actually physically be able to demonstrate (myself included). Then we get discouraged and wonder why our expenses are so high and we're not making enough profit. It's fun to buy the latest and greatest, but it's not necessary. Pace yourself. Buy wisely out of the main catalog. Short term promotions and mini catalogs give us an excellent reason to contact our customers, but we should never "hang our hat" on them. Our hats should always be hung on the products in the main catalog, with new goodies from the minis and the specials to add some frosting to our cake now and again.
I hope you've gotten some good tips today on what to demonstrate when. Like our product offering, this is a huge topic, and sometimes you just have to learn by experience and say, "well, I won't do that again!" or "wow, that was the perfect fit for that class style. I should do that again next year." I hope that these thoughts on narrowing the field, knowing your audience, and using all available avenues will be helpful to you as you love what you do, share what you love, and help others enjoy creativity and worthwhile accomplishments. Hey, that sounds familiar!
Dream BIG, friend!
As I write this, 'tis the season of team Christmas parties being held left and right. I'd like to share an easy, low-prep game that it might come in handy for your own downline parties this holiday and beyond. ENJOY!
To Prep: cut out photos of all the stamp sets from two mini catalogs (you'll need two, because the pages are printed back to back). Mount them on half sheets of cardstock and number them.
To Play: have everyone number a sheet of paper with the total number of flashcards you made, minus one (so if you have 22 stamp sets, have them number their sheets to 21.) Show the first card and have them write the name of the stamp set in the number one space. Show the flashcards at intervals of 15-20 seconds or so to keep things moving. Save one flashcard back in case you need to break a tie. Go back through the flashcards one more time to allow people to write down any additional answers.
To Win: List off the correct names and total the scores. The person with the most correct stamp set names wins! If there is a tie, use your remaining flashcard to break it.
To play in teams: do away with the numbered sheets and just have the first team to shout out the correct stamp set name win the point. Or alternate which team's turn it is to guess by consensus, and if they get their one allowed answer wrong, it goes to the other team to guess.
Variations: if you can't bring yourself to cut up a couple of catalogs, you can print the stamp set images from the online store. Make it harder by including lesser-known stamp sets that are only pictured on flyers or in kits.
Enjoy this game and the other challenge ideas here with your team. Fun meetings are so important for downline retention and team unity. I encourage you to incorporate some fun into your gatherings and enjoy the benefits.
Dream BIG, friends!
I am so PUMPED to share this tip with you today! For several months now I have been helping refine an incredibly exciting new website in the beta (testing) stage, and this week I was given the go-ahead to start spreading the news.
Kristin Chowanec and her uuber-techie husband Aron have created an incredible new resource for demonstrators, called These Are My Stamps. Originally designed as a way to inventory your Stampin' Up product and keep up with what is current or retired, through careful surveying of what demonstrators need and want, the site has expanded to include galleries, link generator services, and even a tutorial creator program.
Aron is a tech maven of the first order, and combined with Kristin's more than eight years of demonstrating experience, from the very beginning the site was impressive, fast, and invaluable. It will only become even better as word spreads! FYI: for now, the site is free; that may change in regards to certain premium features in the future, as more server space is needed.
Here are some of my very favorite features of this fantastic new site:
I could go on and on about this site--and no, I am not getting paid to do so--but the best thing to do is just go check it out and begin to discover for yourself what an incredible tool Kristin and Aron have put together for their fellow demonstrators. I use TAMS every day with a smile on my face (even the orange color of the site theme makes me happy). You will soon find yourself singing their praises right along with me!
Seems like Facebook has two kinds of users--lovers and haters--and hardly anyone in between. However, the saavy direct sales consultant will make friends with Facebook if they know what's good for their businesses. In the digital age, a demonstrator is able to quickly and easily harness the massive word-of-mouth and networking power of the Internet, without any special tools except access to the web.
I've been compiling tips from personal experience and online experts, and I hope you'll put some of them to good use. While many of these tips can be applied to other forms of social media, enough of them are specific to Facebook that I thought a specialized article was in order.
Be aware, however, that social media changes very quickly, and not all these tips may be useful if you are viewing my advice long past the original date of posting. In fact, as this article sat in my draft folder, Facebook changed something and I had to tweak two of my points below!
Setting things up
Begin as you mean to go on
They like me! They really like me!
So how do I keep them coming back?
What's more likely to get out in front of people?
Have I scared you off? Social media can be frightening. It's new, and it changes so fast, and it seems like just when you learn something and it seems to be working, all of a sudden it's obsolete. Facebook is fun, though, and the results of a consistent, fun and informative business page can be amazing.
Remember the saying--"no matter how slow you're running, you're still lapping everyone on the sofa." I encourage you to start using Facebook in your business, or start using it in a smart and targeted fashion, and you'll be light years ahead of everyone who decided they weren't even going to try to understand social media.
It's here to stay! Are you? Then it's time to start learning! YOU CAN DO THIS.
Dream BIG, friend!
Got a start-up blog, or a struggling blog? Discouraged by the lack of followers? Gaining a loyal readership is the goal of every business blogger, and is vitally important to online sales, but it can be tricky. Today I'd like to share some tips on how to run a short-term blog series to both engage existing readers, as well as gain new ones!
What is a blog series?
Why would I want to do a blog series?
Because word spreads when cute things are happening on a website! As friends click "like" and share posts, pinning your projects and leaving comments, it snowballs and more and more people will see your posts. If they visit and like what they see, they'll be back. You've just used the power of a blog series to gain readers by impressing them with a bunch of consistent, cute and useful posts--and the desire to come back for the rest of the series, to see what you're up to next!
In addition to getting new followers, a blog series is exciting for your current readership, too. A blog is only as good as it's last few posts, and if yours has been a little lack-luster lately, this could be a real shot in the arm that will prevent readers from dropping you off their "must read" list.
And while it's true that many of the readers you'll be adding will just be other demos, there will be potential customers in the mix. Make sure you are doing your advertising for the event in places where non-demos congregate online. Don't preach to the choir!
How do I go about setting up a blog series?
Start by picking your theme, or what you'd like to focus on. You can have a series of blog posts about card-making basics, different ways to use ribbon, back-to-school projects, or even a specific holiday. Consider your strengths--and your weaknesses. You could do a series about something you're really good at--but it might be of even more benefit long-term to assign yourself a series about something you need practice at! If you have a fondness for home decor, upcycling, glitter, Halloween---you name it, it can be translated into a blog series.
A very common blog series in December (too common--come up with something more original!) is patterned on the 12 Days of Christmas. Strive for originality, and a catchy title. You can put My Digital Studio to GREAT use by designing a little logo or banner to use for your blog series. It's a unique touch that adds a lot towards unifying your posts under the theme as well as helping readers identify which posts are part of the series.
Next, pick a time period that will work for you to concentrate on your blog and use your social media skills to promote the series and take advantage of the publicity. While you can set up posts in advance, and even schedule social media promotions for it in advance, you will still need to be available to make sure everything goes live when it is supposed to, answer comments, pin the projects to Pinterest, and take advantage of all the hubbub your series will create online.
My personal suggested time frame for your first blog series is one week. After you've gotten one under your belt, go for the big whammy--a whole month of daily posts in a series. While a series can be as little as three posts, remember that momentum is key. It takes a little while for word to spread, even in this day and age. Optimally, you don't want people to hear about your series after it's already over.
How can I maximize the potential reach of my blog series?
Once you know the theme and the date, start promoting! Share the logo you created, post teasers, mention it online, put it in your newsletters--use any and every means possible to let people know that something BIG and FUN is coming down the pike. As the phrase "location, location, location" is often touted as the three most important factors for realtors trying to sell a house, "advertise, advertise, advertise" needs to be the motto of the direct sales consultant! You are your own PR agent--are you a good one?
The bigger a deal you can make out of it, the better. You may want to combine your series with blog candy giveaways, an ordering special, free handouts, or participation challenges. For instance, as I write this article in August 2013, I'm doing a scrapbooking-themed series called 31 Pages in 31 Days. We have a Twitter hashtag, a Facebook group, an MDS logo banner, and weekly giveaways. I'll also be using Instagram and Pinterest to spread the word all month long.
Next, it's time to work on the content of the series. Sometimes this is easy--once I did an entire month's worth of posts using the projects I'd created for the 2011 Stampin' Up Convention, which were conveniently all created using a doily theme. Other times, you'll be starting from scratch, and that needs to be worked on in advance. Do NOT leave it until the day of to design, create, photograph, edit and post your project! You will be at the mercy of whatever the day brings, and we all know what havoc one little scheduling snafu, work emergency or a sick little one can wreak on the best-laid plans.
Prepped in advance, the blog series can be just as fun and relaxing for YOU as it will be for your readers. But it will require organization and forethought--and then the determination to see it through. Nothing is worse than an abandoned blog series that leaves people hanging and frustrated.
Pick one truly stellar project to finish out the series on a high note. And if you're concerned that your projects aren't anything too exciting, remember that a good blog appeals to customers at all different ability levels. What you think is too simple might be exactly what someone else could handle. Your readers will also be looking at a "body of work" during a blog series, and not so much each individual post.
Behind the scenes stuff is just as important as the public face of your series! Don't forget to take the extra time to link to your online store so that readers know where to get the fabulous products and tools you are using. Make sure all your links are working, and that you have more than one option for subscribing via RSS or email. Your contact info should be prominently displayed, and your catalogs all up to date. Everything about your blog should be ship-shape so it is as impressive as possible to those who will be reading it for the first time.
How do I follow up to a blog series?
Follow up is what turns contacts into customers. Even after the last post goes live, your work is not finished until you've responded to comments and answered any questions on your blog and social media, and added those who are interested to your mailing lists. Thank your new subscribers and promise them more fun to come. Turn your efforts into making sure your next few posts are inspirational and engaging so it reinforces that feeling of being glad they found you and that you are someone to watch.
Because you ARE someone to watch! You are the proud possessor of a fabulously creative, original mind, plus amazing, quality products to play with. Combine that with the global audience you can reach through a blog, and it's dynamite! I hope you'll give a blog series a go here in the next few months, and enjoy the benefits reaped from a fun and exciting way to boost readership.
Got comments? Leave them below! You're welcome to bounce ideas off me anytime. Thanks for visiting Song of My Heart Demonstrators.
Dream BIG, friend!
I designed a fun game for our last demonstrator meeting, and I hope you'll give it a try at one of yours because it really was a hoot. You could adapt it to be played at a hostess appreciation event or open house as well.
Set up for this game is very easy. Using a limited number of supplies (stamps, ink, cardstock, embellishments, maybe a punch) design a simple card. It needs to be pretty basic--3-4 pieces of cardstock, 2-3 colors of ink, max 2 stamp sets. You don't want to give them too many choices or it will be frustrating instead of fun.
Put everything you used to make the card into a basket to take to your event. Cut out enough supplies for everyone to have one of everything you used.
Seal your sample card in an envelope. I suggest putting a piece of cardstock over the front of the card to help disguise exactly where you placed embellishments as well as hiding dark ink colors that might show through. On the outside of the envelope, write "What Would (Your Name) Stamp? Using only the supplies below, plus SNAIL adhesive, create a card. We'll reveal my design at the end of the evening, and the person whose card matches the closest wins the prize!"
Then sit back and enjoy watching as your team wracks their brains trying to think of how you would assemble those pieces together, what stamps you would have chosen, what colors of ink you would have used as primary and secondary, and how you would have used the ribbon or placed the embellishment. You will all be amazed at the variety of card designs people will come up with using the exact same limited supplies!
Have fun revealing the actual card design and then deciding whose version was the closest to yours!

Next up is the casting of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in a new disaster flick, the earth shaking San Andreas. Next is a lively discussion on Spike Lee's retelling of Oldboy as a new clip was released and the team gets into the merits of this one getting remade and for the final story of the night Dave points out the fact that Amazon is now selling 100 classic horror themes for $1.09, just in time for the haunt season.

Machete Kills did mpt fare well at the box office and it does not do much better with the grue-crew.

text: Passionate Obama demands gun reform Print article Send a Tip AFP 3/28/2013 4:36:26 PM President Barack Obama said Thursday that Americans should be ashamed if the pain of the Newtown school shooting three months ago has ebbed to such an extent that gun reform efforts are fading."Tears aren't enough, expressions of sympathy aren't enough, speeches aren't enough," Obama said, in a passionate speech at the White House surrounded by relatives of gun violence victims."Now is the time to turn that heartbreak into something real," Obama said, three months after 20 children and six teachers and caregivers were gunned down in Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.The president held his event amid indications that the tidal wave of national grief that prompted promises of action on greater gun control after the massacre in December was fading."I want to make sure every American is listening today," said Obama, bristling with anger after saying he had read a report that questioned whether Washington had gone soft on reform efforts as the horror of Newtown fades."Less than 100 days ago that happened. The entire country was shocked, the entire country pledged we would do something about it and this time it would be different," he said."Shame on us if we have forgotten. I haven't forgotten those kids. Shame on us if we have forgotten."Top Democrats in Congress have said that there is not sufficient support for some measures proposed by Obama, including a reinstatement of an assault weapons ban.The legislative fight is now surrounding White House plans to close loopholes in background checks designed to ensure mentally unstable people and criminals cannot get guns.Obama also hopes to enact new laws clamping down on gun trafficking and providing more help to secure America's schools.

This is going to sound a little strange, but there's a small part of me that was always jealous of the old bedridden grandparents in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

Some old habits are hard to break, and as flawed as the old Bowl Championship Series (affectionately referred to and twisted into juvenile alternate acronyms as the "BCS") was, it still began to consume me right about this time every college football season.

College football is great. We all love college football. (At least, I'm assuming you do if you clicked on this story.) The tradition, the pageantry, college football is the best.

For the first time in the history of my Texans fandom, their bye week left me with a palpable void.

If the Rice Owls only played football in November at home and against non-BCS conference schools, they'd be an unstoppable force.

I want to thank The Ohio State Buckeyes.

Abracadabras opening reception coincides with the unveiling of two separate exhibitions. Christiaan Lopez-Miros All Roads Lead to Cassaga is a photographic portrait of a 115-year-old spiritualist retreat in central Florida (a region whose swamps have been littered with strange utopian experiments).

A new body of work by Jun Kaneko resides in a secured walkway at Millennium Park awaiting the April 12 exhibit opening. The exhibit draws upon the myths and legends of the Tanuki figure. | Richard A. Chapman ~ Sun-Times

The word "ceramics" typically conjures small, fragile objects such as figurines, plates and vases, but a striking exhibition opening today in Millennium Park gives it a whole new meaning.
Building massive, works that defy the traditional bounds of the medium, Omaha, Neb., artist Jun Kaneko has strived for five decades to take clay sculpture out of the decorative arts and position it in the mainstream of contemporary art.
Thirty-five of his most recent works — the largest measuring nearly nine feet in height and weighing more than 1,900 pounds — will remain on view through Nov. 3 in the park's two Boeing Galleries.
Co-presented by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events and Millennium Park Inc., it is the fifth temporary exhibition in the twin outdoor spaces since they were completed in 2005.
Situated on the north and south sides of the park on terraces set back from Michigan Avenue, the galleries are on an axis with Anish Kapoor's "Cloud Gate" — more popularly known as "The Bean."
The visiting sculptures are large enough to hold their own amid the park's many permanent artworks and other elements, but not too large to aesthetically clash with anything else.
Kaneko, a Japanese native who moved to the United States in 1963, studied with three noted pioneers of the contemporary ceramics movement — Peter Voulkos, Paul Soldner and Jerry Rothman. The foundation of his internationally acclaimed work has been abstract clay sculptures that incorporate basic, archetypal forms such as slabs and tiles.
The best known of these pieces is his on-going, instantly identifiable series of "Dangos," a Japanese word meaning "rounded form" or "dumpling." These standing works call to mind ancient menhirs, sharing the same formal presence and power.
Thirteen of the artist's "Dangos" are carefully arrayed in the South Boeing Gallery, exuding their usual quiet elegance and Zen tranquility. Some have an elongated form resembling the end of giant broom handle, while others are slightly more flattened in shape.
Kaneko, a master of glazes, treats the smooth surfaces of these works as a kind of canvas. Some are adorned with his trademark, longtime looks, such as black dots allowed to run slightly in the firing process, while others have newer, more painterly decoration, like one with an open-square pattern overlaying Jackson Pollock-like splatters.
Offering a startlingly radical departure from these classic works, and indeed anything the artist has done before, is his rollicking "Tanuki" series, which Kaneko is showing publicly in the North Boeing Gallery for the first time.
The 22 comical 6- to 6½-foot figures, which look like something out of Japanese anime, should be an especially big hit with children. They were inspired by that country's folklore in which the "tanuki" or "raccoon dog" recurs as a kind of mischievous trickster.
Kaneko has stuck largely to the traditional depiction of the tanuki figures, giving them identical pudgy, pot-bellied bodies with only slight variations to their mouths and snouts. They are exuberantly decorated in bright colors and rambunctious patterns.
Because of their size and similarities in form, it is easy to forget that each of the raccoon dogs (or "crazy bears," as an onlooker on a recent afternoon not inaptly called them) is hand-constructed of clay — no small technical feat.
"I had a heckuva a time at the beginning," Kaneko said. "I couldn't believe it. A bunch of pieces started to crack and fall apart, and I couldn't figure out why. I lost about five months. So, this was an interesting challenge."
The two different sets of works present sharply contrasting sides of the artist's work — a kind of aesthetic yin and yang — that come together in a satisfying whole that should prove as popular with casual passers-by as serious art lovers.

Natural Gear Full-Zip WinterCeptor Windproof/Water Resistant Jacket features:
Posted by Dan on 2nd Jan 2014
I own many NaturalGear clothing items, and this jacket tops the collection. Super warm, soft and comfortable, quality design and construction, are second only to stealth and concealment of the camo pattern. This is my second jacket because I can bear the thought of some day not being able to replace my old one! I should own stock in this company.
Posted by Unknown on 1st Jan 2014
The best camo! Tested and true killed many deer in Nat Gear! Super comfortable and effective! Will not hunt in anything else!!!!
Posted by Unknown on 10th Sep 2013
Absolute best fleece camo product on the market!!
Posted by Chief Busu Punda Wangu the 4th on 18th Feb 2013
I would love to give this a 5 star because it is notch piece of camo'd clothing but the strings that draw this up tight across the bottom are WAY too flimsy to last more than a few months.
The zippers are WAY too cheap that after just a few weeks they're gonna start hanging to the point of hardy functioning at all.
I just bought my 3rd one since the Sept. 12 bow season and now that I have the time, I'm gonna try re-stringing the latest one with para cord.
I paid too much (again) because before this jackets hardware starts malfunctioning.
If you can find one for about $25-30 that would be worth it for fit, form and function.
I'm one brutal shopper and I seriously doubt if you can find any for less than Wings Supply.

After what seems like ages of speculation and price drops and rebates on the original EOS 7D, Canon has finally announced the actually truthfully long-awaited successor to the EOS 7D. Sitting atop their APS-C line the EOS 7D line is aimed at professionals who prefer the weight and space savings of a compact body. And previously, that trade in size was at the cost of the absolute very best performance going, but if I'm reading that spec sheet right, the EOS 7D Mk II doesn't really come with any of those trade-offs.
So, I said it's an APS-C model, and to be specific it's of their beloved funky 1.6x crop factor. Full-frame shooters still need to look at the 5D or 1D X line. The sensor is a newly developed 20.2 megapixel model being piped through not one but two of those shiny new DIGIC 6 processors. As a result, you get native ISO of 100-16,000 (expanded 100-51,600) and 10 frames per second continuous shooting for 31 raw frames or 1,090 JPG. And, because fast shooting like that needs a strong AF system underneath it, Canon has drastically upgraded the AF module for this camera. It features 65 points now, and every one of them is the more accurate cross-type. EVERY. ONE. The center one is also sensitive down to -3EV, but really, can we go back to talking about how Canon fit 65 cross-type points on a sensor? I don't envy their engineers these past couple years, I'll tell ya that. To round out the imaging heart is a new 150,000-pixel RGB+IR 252-zone metering sensor, and a shutter life beefed up to 200,000 exposures.
So clearly the 7D Mark II is off to a solid start. Let's see what else there is in the announcement here. Hmmmm-hmm-hmm. Well, in addition to being a boss all cross-type AF system, it inherits the dual-pixel AF from its little bro the 70D letting it do contrast and phase detection at each point for smoother more accurate focus in live view and especially in video mode. It picks up the HDR and multiple exposure modes found in its full-frame counterpart, the 5D Mark III. Additional flexibility comes through the addition of an intervalometer and a bulb timer for those creative time lapse projects. The "Intelligent Viewfinder" has approx. 100% coverage, the LCD is a bit smaller than the going rate at just 3", but is at least 1,040,000 dots for making images look downright fuzzy as soon as you import them to your computer, and hey, it looks like GPS is built right on in there.
Video mode gets a bump, with it shooting in 720p or 1080p at up to 60fps, which it says enables it to do slow-motion capture at full resolution in either the ALL-I or IPB codec. You can also record in .MOV or .MP4, if you're into the more use-ready formats. A mini-HDMI port will pipe uncompressed stream to an external recording unit if you're looking to use this more professionally for your video workflow.
Canon's saying shipments will start in November, and you're looking at $1,799.00 body only or $2,149.00 with an 18-135mm STM lens. It'll use yet-another-new battery, the LP-E6N (though it will be backwards compatible with your LP-E6s if you have some), and a new battery grip, the BG-E16 (also works with the older LP-E6s), and a new wireless file transmitter in the form of the WFT-E7A Version 2. So, the camera itself is a nice price point, but if you want a grip or wireless transfer budget a little extra for accessories this time around.
Preorders? Eee-yup.

No matter what your ability level is when it comes to golf, it's pretty much a given that you will play your best when your tempo and rhythm are good.
Power has become a big part of the modern game and every golfer is looking to add more distance to their game.
When it comes to making swing changes or working on your golf swing, there's no surefire recipe for quick improvement.
When it comes to the sequencing of your golf swing, a great approach is to wind up in the backswing and unwind in the downswing.
Make no mistake about it, the fastest way to shave shots off your score is to improve your short game.

WHITLEY Co., Ky. (WYMT) - Officers with the Whitley County sheriff's department, constables and state police broke into teams this morning with one priority, to arrest 14 men and women.
Tuesday marked the first county wide roundup in July.
Police say they arrested each person for abusing prescription pills.
Sheriff Colan Harrell says anyone who thinks they can abuse prescription pills may be next.
Harrell says they need to address this problem.
He hopes measures like this one can make a difference.
"They're a nuisance for one thing and other thing it's a habit that's a very expensive addiction," said Harrell.
With the help of a dozen officials including state police, officer Steven Douglas says they are making progress.
"Whenever we do these kind of things it lets the public know that we are out here working and we're aware of these problems," said Douglas.
Harrell says roundups like this one are part of a continuing effort to make a difference.
Eight men and women were taken to the Whitley and Laurel County Detention Center.
Harrell says they will continue searching for the other drug offenders.

Loretta Fuddy's Financial Disclosure Forms
- By Pixel Patriot @ Birther Report -
[12/12/2013]-[ BR/ORYR Note to MSN readers: "Pixel Patriot" is former CNN producer Kevin Powell. ]
Because the fraudulent Long Form Birth Certificate for Barack Obama that was placed on the White House server on April 27th, 2011 was an Adobe pdf file and was never flattened so that all the layers were visible when opened in Adobe Illustrator, I decided to open these Financial Disclosure pdf's by DOH Dir. Loretta Fuddy in Adobe Illustrator also. This research is not intended to distract from Obama's forged documents, however it is manifestly important to bring to light fraud when discovered from a state agency endemic of such, and known to be complicit in the ongoing national security crisis allowing Obama to unlawfully usurp the office of the Presidency.
[ All pertinent screenshots embedded below in the Scribd document ]
Screen 1) State of Hawaii Deputy Director for the Dept. of Health Loretta Fuddy's signature is blocked on the form for Disclosure of Financial Interests with the Hawaii State Ethics Commission. Signed January 17, 2011 and stamped received on January 19, 2011.
Screen 2) Fuddy now serving as Director fills out the same form again on February 29, 2012 and was received on March 5th, 2012. The signature was again blocked however comparing the two signatures, the letter "y" looks completely different between the two signatures.
Screen 3) Surprisingly, the pdf's when opened in Adobe Illustrator have a clipping path and the "Blocked Signature" image is missing revealing the full signature of Director Fuddy. Compare this full signature now to the signature from 2011 partially blocked on Screen 1 and it appears that the handwriting from these two signatures are significantly different.
Screen 4) The stamp on page 1 of the Gifts Disclosure Statement shown at 200% is inverted both vertically and horizontally with respect to the document. And because the orientation is not the same as the text on the document itself, this would indicate the possibility it was inserted and composited as a separate image element from the original document.
Screen 5) The stamp is shown at 300% for a closer view.
Screen 6) The signature on page 2 of the Gifts Disclosure Statement opened in Adobe Acrobat is blocked.
Screen 7) The Gifts Disclosure Statement opened in Adobe Illustrator also has a clipping Path and the signature on page 2 is revealed.
Screen 8) Fuddy's signature on the "Additional Sheet" for the Gifts Disclosure form was not blocked.
Screen 9) Maybe the reason it was blocked on the original form and not the addendum is because, they don't appear to be signed by the same person.
Handwriting Analyst:
"w/o more of an exemplar it is hard to be definitive..however, the cursive on p. 1 and 2 don't appear to be written by the same person due to different key identifiers in stroke and shape..same between the sample on p. 6 and 9...even their position on the page is different..one slung left and the other more central, which is an individual preference indicator as use of space and placement, shape and size and pressure (depth), slant and spacing are all indicators...we all can vary quite a lot from day to day and if stressed, tired, rushed, etc. However, there are certain identifiers which remain fairly constant and in all writing there are distinctive strokes which 'out' an individual on the subconscious level...I would hazard a guess that the writing is not from the same person."
