lighting for on-location photo sessions – pick your battles
When doing a photo session with a couple on location, I mix up the lighting as needed. With some photo sessions I may:
– shoot available light only;
– or I may decide with a photo session to use direct on-camera flash,
with some sequences available light only; or
– with some photo sessions I use off-camera flash with a softbox,
with some sequences just the available light.
Even in varying the way I may use the available light and flash, I still aim to have a consistent look to it all. My specific style has to be apparent. Or perhaps, in the way that I work, my style becomes apparent. The one way that I help make things easier for myself, and remain consistent, is that in working with the available light; or working with the available light and flash (both on-camera and off-camera) … I pick my battles. I don't try and make *everything* work. Rather, I specifically choose where I pose a couple, or what I have as the background. All of this in relation to the existing light and my flash.

Join us for an exciting day and evening on the waterfront in South Freeport on June 23. Families and individuals are invited to come down to Brewer South Freeport Marine for a lively public celebration of Freeport's maritime past, including viewing, touring or sailing aboard the historic schooner Bowdoin; trying their hand at knot-tying and oar-making with the Compass Project; enjoying maritime shanties and jigs; and more.
In the evening, a fabulous Harborside Gala will be staged, also at Brewer South Freeport Marine, with entertainment by the Jason Spooner Trio, light food and beverages, and both silent and live auction as well as Giving Tree. All events will benefit the Freeport Historical Society and their public programs and two historic properties.
Celebrating the maritime history of Freeport, the schooner Bowdoin will be at the dock at Brewer South Freeport Marine for viewing, deck tours and sailing adventures. The Bowdoin, built in East Boothbay in 1921, has deep ties to Freeport. She was captained by Admiral Donald MacMillan, known far and wide for his Arctic explorations, which led him to receive the prestigious Hubbard Gold Medal from the National Geographic Society in 1953.
The Bowdoin is today owned by the Maine Maritime Academy and is designated Maine's official state vessel. Her mission is to provide sail training for the Maine Maritime Academy students and the public as well as to aid in recruiting and community relations, making her inclusion in the inaugural Harraseeket Heritage Day on behalf of the Freeport Historical Society a natural fit.
Also on hand at Brewer South Freeport Marine providing oar-making demonstrations will be the Compass Project, which uses boatbuilding and rowing to provide positive direction to youth by encouraging the development of personal responsibility and community and environmental engagement. In addition, Maine Maritime Academy students acting as crew members on the Bowdoin will be demonstrating their skills at knot-making and splicing, while local artists of the Freeport-based Frost Gully Violins will be performing traditional maritime shanties. Children's author Mary Cowans will do a reading for children from her award-winning book, Captain Mac: The Life of Donald Baxter MacMillan, Arctic Explorer, and will be available for book signings.
Harraseeket Heritage Day events will be held from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm at Brewer South Freeport Marine. Deck tours of the schooner Bowdoin will be held from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm and admission to the dock will cost $5 per person or $20 per family. Two-hour sailing adventures will depart at 12:30 pm and 3:30 pm, with a limited supply of tickets for $30 per person available in advance. Children under 13 must be accompanied by a parent and must provide their own PFDs.
The Harborside Gala will begin at 6:30 pm, with the auction ending at 8:00 pm and the Jason Spooner Trio performing live music. Tickets will be $40, including light hors d'oeuvres and beverages for purchase.
Tickets are available at the Freeport Historical Society: in person (45 Main Street, Freeport), by phone (207.865.3170), or online at www.freeporthistoricalsociety.org (click on "Online Donation" and use your credit card or Paypal account). Tickets may also be purchased at Brewer South Freeport Marine.
Harraseeket Heritage Day and Harborside Gala are sponsored by L.L.Bean, The Doolan/Dougherty Group at Morgan Stanley, Brewer South Freeport Marine, Bob Knecht/Town & Shore, Mary Noyes, Haraseeket Lunch & Lobster, Seabags, and Curtis Thaxter-Attorneys at Law.

News of Riverton, Lander and Fremont County, Wyoming, from the Ranger's award winning journalists.
'Not guilty' the verdict in retrial of murder convict
Feb 10, 2012 - By Martin Reed Staff Writer
Jurors in Lander took about five hours Thursday to decide that a former Daniel man is not guilty of a 1984 murder of a Jackson woman in Sublette County.
After the verdict was announced, Troy Dean Willoughby could be seen with tears streaming down his cheeks while others in the silent courtroom sobbed.
Willoughby had been accused of first-degree murder for the death of Lisa Ehlers on June 21, 1984, in Hoback Canyon between Jackson and Pinedale.
The verdict capped the three-week trial that started Jan. 23 and involved testimony from more than 50 people and the admission of 80-plus exhibits. Seven men and five women from Fremont County sat on the jury in Lander's 9th District Court.
For Willoughby, the acquittal resulted in exonerating the man whom a Sublette County jury convicted of the same charge in January 2010 and later led to the Wyoming Supreme Court upholding the outcome.
New trial
However, the proceeding was relocated to Lander after Teton County 9th District Judge Timothy C. Day ordered a new trial in light of a critical police report in the case that was withheld from defense attorneys by the investigators.
In opening statements Jan. 24, defense attorney Rob Oldham told jurors the prosecution's investigators "purposely hid police reports" that showed the defendant at home in Daniel a few hours before the murder.
Willoughby faced the criminal charge filed against him in March 2009 after the formation of a special cold case team in Sublette County led to the allegations directed at him.
Prosecutors tried to cast Willoughby as a cold-blooded murderer who gunned down Ehlers around 6 a.m. at a pullout on Highway 191 as the Jackson woman drove to Florida to be with her husband.
Lead special prosecutors Tony Howard, a former Fremont County deputy attorney, and Scott Sargent created a narrative for jurors that involved Willoughby killing Ehlers over stolen drugs from a party earlier in the night.
Testimony helped build their case, including that of two people who claimed they were in the car with Willoughby when he pulled over to kill Ehlers on the roadside.
Tim Basye testified he watched Willoughby shoot Ehlers at the pullout, while the defendant's then-wife, Rosa Hosking, testified she heard from the car his anger-filled voice before hearing gunshots at the location.
The prosecution also used an 11-hour interview with Willoughby and testimony from a Sublette County jail inmate who claimed the defendant talked about the murder in his cell.
Closing arguments
"Judge the defendant fairly. Judge the defendant by the evidence. Judge the defendant by the law. Judge the defendant guilty," Howard said at the conclusion of his closing arguments that spanned 90 minutes.
During her 80-minute closing argument, defense attorney Kerri Johnson differentiated the opposing sides as "Reality Street" for Willoughby's case and "Orchestration Avenue" for the prosecution's.
Johnson said the cold case team and the resulting prosecution involved "confirmatory bias" that funneled evidence to fit their case while excluding all other possibilities.
She also criticized the testimony from key witnesses, including Basye and Hosking, and cast doubt on their truthfulness because of claims of threats made by the investigators during interviews.
Report withheld
Johnson cited the police report withheld by the investigators from the cold case team as further reason for a flimsy case.
"What does the Orchestration Avenue investigation say? Hide the report," she said. "That's how biased they were. That's how a confirmatory biased investigation works."
She called the two investigators in particular "an embarrassment and disgrace to the judicial system that is supposed to be seeking justice and supposed to be seeking truth."
"Not a single theory, not a single motive holds up when you put it to the evidence, the Reality Street evidence," she said.
She also disputed the contention that Ehlers went to a party that was also attended by Willoughby hours before leaving early that morning.
"Troy Willoughby did not know Lisa Ehlers. Troy Willoughby never met Lisa Ehlers. And Troy Willoughby did not kill Lisa Ehlers. The only just verdict in this case is not guilty," Johnson said.

What did Gove learn on his MoJ 'work experience' trip?
The new Lord Chancellor spent six weeks visiting courts in England and Wales, now he wants to use what he saw to reform the justice system.Read the full story ›
NSPCC: 'More work needed' to support young witnesses
A pilot scheme that will allow victims and witnesses to give eveidence ahead of criminal trials will not necessarily make the system as child-friendly as it could be, the NSPCC's head of corporate affairs has said. Alan Wardle added:
We welcome the pilot and hope it paves the way for more children to be spared the ordeal of having to give live evidence in court. The pilot will not necessarily make the system as child-friendly as it could be, but is a positive step - offering children the opportunity to give their evidence and be cross examined in advance of the trial and sparing them the often lengthy wait for a court date which can cause unnecessary anxiety.
However, there is still more work to be done to ensure all young witnesses are supported by a justice system that is truly fit for children.
Victims and defendants 'entitled to a fair trial'
Vulnerable and intimidated witnesses should get specialist help throughout the criminal justice process, the assistant chief executive at Victim Support has said, as a new pilot scheme allowing evidence to be given ahead of criminal trials is due to be rolled out tomorrow. Adam Pemberton added:
We welcome these pilots because repeated, aggressive questioning of vulnerable witnesses in a packed courtroom cannot be the best way to obtain sound and accurate evidence.
Victims and witnesses are entitled to a fair trial as well as defendants and we believe pre-recorded evidence taken in a less intense environment and when events are fresher in the mind will help level the playing field.
Damian Green: Evidence scheme 'prioritises victim'
People who have experienced or reported horrific crimes should be given the highest possible level of protection and support, the Victims' Minister said, as a new pilot scheme which allows victims and witnesses to give evidence ahead of criminal trials is due to be rolled out.
Following a visit to Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court, Damian Green said: "If you have experienced a horrendous crime, giving evidence in the pressured environment of a live courtroom, in front of the jury and the public gallery, can be intimidating and perhaps too much to ask.
"That's why we are trying a new approach, the first of its kind, which prioritises the victim."
Vulnerable people to give evidence ahead of trial
A pilot scheme which allows victims and witnesses to give evidence ahead of criminal trials starts tomorrow.
The most vulnerable people involved in the courts process will be able to give their evidence and be cross-examined away from the intense atmosphere of a live courtroom, in an attempt to spare them what could be aggressive questioning in front of jury, judge and their alleged attacker.
The Government is initially trying the new approach in three courts with the aim of rolling it out more widely if successful, the Ministry of Justice said.
Prison guards find mobile phone in hollow Weetabix
Prison guards found a mobile phone hidden in a box of hollowed out Weetabix.
Several of the breakfast cereal biscuits had been cut through the middle leaving a hollow where the phone was stashed.
The phone and doctored cereal were then carefully repackaged before being sent to a prisoner.
Inmates are not allowed mobile phones in prison and must use public payphones.
Public 'should see justice in action'
Richard Monkhouse, chairman of the Magistrates' Association, said:
This report from Policy Exchange mirrors many of our suggestions and we are pleased to see that there is a wider view that much greater use can and should be made of magistrates.
However, we firmly believe that the public should be able to see justice in action and having successfully campaigned for out of court disposals to be more open and transparent, it would seem a backward and totally inappropriate step for magistrates to deliver justice in police stations.
Whether these proposals are allowed to be implemented is another matter, but we will work for our members to ensure that magistrates are valued and trusted to develop our role within the criminal justice.
Police Courts would mean 'swifter justice'
There is currently a two-month delay from the time an offender is charged by the police to the sentence being handed down in a magistrates' court, the think-tank Policy Exchange said.
Max Chambers, head of crime and justice at Policy Exchange, and author of the report, said:
There is no good reason for our criminal justice system to operate in such a leisurely fashion.
Police Courts would mean much swifter justice for low-level crime, reflecting the fact that if a punishment is to be meaningful and actually change behaviour, it has to be delivered very quickly.
Putting magistrates in police stations will also bring much greater oversight to the use of cautions, about which there has been legitimate public concern.
As budgets are reduced dramatically, the courts system will inevitably have to change.
Fewer buildings will be part of the solution, but government must take care to protect the local justice landscape, underpinned by volunteer magistrates, that has served us so well for hundreds of years.
Magistrates 'should work from police stations'
Magistrates should dispense on-the-spot justice inside police stations at peak times, a centre-right think-tank has proposed.
As part of a radical set of recommendations to speed up the criminal justice system and help deliver planned budget cuts of nearly 40%, the Policy Exchange has argued in favour of recruiting 10,000 new magistrates, boosting overall numbers to 33,000.
New magistrates could sit in police stations - including during evenings and weekends - and other community buildings and would oversee out-of-court disposals, which Policy Exchange says accounts for 20% of all criminal cases.
Grayling: 'Justice system must change with society'
As part of the new plans, those aged 70 to 75 who are summoned would be expected to serve as jurors. However, the Juries Act 1974 still provides for discretionary excusal, where it can be shown that there is good reason why someone should be excused from attending.
Jury service is, and remains, a cornerstone of the British justice system laid down in the Magna Carta almost 800 years ago. Every year, thousands of people give their time to take part in this vital function.
Our society is changing and it is essential that the criminal justice system moves with the times. This is about harnessing the knowledge and life experiences of a group of people who can offer significant benefits to the court process.
The Juries Act 1974 states that only those aged 18 to 70 may be summoned to carry out jury service in England and Wales. This age range was last amended by the Criminal Justice Act 1988, which raised the upper limit from 65 to 70.

The latest
For Jennifer Veitch, PhD, the dimly lit office cubicle represents an opportunity. As senior research officer at the National Research Council of Canada, in Ottawa, Veitch investigates how indoor lighting affects employee well-being and productivity, and how employee behaviors affect the use of resources and energy. Her findings and recommendations have been used by architects, building planners, engineers and lighting designers to help them create functional workspaces that provide adequate light for emotional and physical health.
Energy Efficiency Versus Illumination
When Veitch began her lighting research 20 years ago, the field's main concern was the introduction of computers to the workplace.
"The big issue was controlling glare and lighting conditions for screens," she says.
To prevent eyestrain from monitors, newly designed lighting equipment directed light to the desk surface and away from the walls and monitors, creating unpleasant, cave-like conditions for office employees. As monitor technology became more user-friendly — through flat screens and other developments — Veitch turned her attention to other aspects of indoor lighting. She researched ways to reduce energy use through advanced lighting controls and investigated how lighting affects employee happiness.
Your Office, Yourself
Veitch's current research looks at how light affects cognition, stress and well-being, incorporating elements of industrial-organizational psychology, sensory psychophysics, and social psychology. She recently completed a study that demonstrated that when people have control over the lighting in their work spaces, their moods are more upbeat, they are more committed to their employers and they have overall improved well-being. Individually controlled lighting also reduces lighting energy use by 10 percent, she found.
And handing over lighting control to employees is a relatively easy change for companies to implement, Veitch says. "While not the be-all/end-all solution to promoting organizational effectiveness, it doesn't require retraining to work," she says.
Such findings help her convince engineers and managers that not everyone is the same. "Psychologists are all about appreciating individual differences," she says.
Sparking Innovation
Veitch's job also involves making lighting recommendations to international commissions involved with architecture and design regulations, and even occasionally helps shape public policy regarding employee health and building specifications. Her team presents research at conferences and in scientific journals, but she also gives talks at industry events and publishes articles in trade magazines. This work has also led to new product development and licensing for the technology behind such improvements, such as integrated lighting controls.
Communication is a central part of her job, whether Veitch is recommending design changes to engineers or architects, or explaining her findings to employers, building managers and superintendents.
How She Got There
Veitch says she is "probably the one person I know who is doing what I wanted to do when I got excited about psychology in the first place."
To prepare for her career, she took classes at the University of Victoria in a wide variety of fields, including neuroscience, social psychology and environmental psychology.
Veitch also took a theater-lighting class to learn about how illumination works on a technical level. "It taught me about inter-reflections of light in space, how shadows and contrast affect appearance, and how message and mood can be communicated using light." She learned a bit about the technical details of the lighting equipment itself, but says an architectural lighting course would have been more useful, had there been one.
That interdisciplinary training paid off. Today, Veitch works with experts including engineers, architects and biologists. Working with such a diverse array of experts can be challenging, but the rewards are worth it, she says.
"Environmental psychologists can see their work applied in so many different ways," she says. "The challenge is in developing a common language to talk about and to understand that there is this physical world around us, and it affects us."

Officials say the beltway's southbound lanes between Old Dominion Drive and Route 123 in McLean may close for 15 minutes or so at some point between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m.
The nightly closures are expected from Tuesday through Saturday.

Re: Impressive
How in this world is that a true response to the Jump program. You have to pay the subsidy you are not recieving as part of the monthly rate plan plus you have to make payments on the full price of the device. So you are essentially paying double every month for the phone you want. That is bad for customers.

Hey Vic, interesting observation. I forget how Einstein supposedly worded it, but great ideas will be met with violent opposition from mediocre minds. I see it all the time. And look at the condition of our country. It beats us into submission so we hold back our ideas. Part of it is ignorance and part is selfishness/envy. They don't want to share us and they don't want us having any fun they aren't having. Our inactions may be due to a fear of alienating the people we care about, and to that of the unknown. But the fear of the unknown is also where we get a lot of the adrenaline rushes pleasantly associated with travel.

That's funny about the cat. It's the animal instinct. It's present in us all. While it's clearly destructive for us to exercise that instinct unrestrained, our society has been conditioned to try to suppress it completely, at least publicly. I suspect it creates a stress of internal conflict and that there's a better balance we could attain. Perhaps we could mitigate some of our propensity for disease if we learned to allow greater expression of our internal instincts, ones which didn't injure other people.
People are often dumping cats out here in the natural habitat of the countryside. You'd think it's be easier for them to simply dump them at the SPCA in town. They end up meeting the same fate but at least at the SPCA they are fed in the meantime, and stand a fleeting chance of being adopted by a little girl or sumpin.
Let's ride!!!

OOTD: Old Old Fashioned
November 18, 2011
♥ Cardigan: Primark *** Dress/Belt: Dunnes *** Flats: Primark ♥
This outfit looks very similar to one I posted about in August.I bought this dress on sale in Dunnes, I always feel less guilty about buying things when they're on sale! Its a summer dress but I have a hard time adapting to A/W and generally try and make my summer dresses "work".
I don't really have much else to write about today. I haven't been posting many outfits because most of my things are packed up as i'm moving house again (hopefully before Christmas) I'm really hoping my new landlord well let me paint and change the flooring, if he does I plan to decorate it white like my current room.
Thank you for all of the wonderful comments on my last few posts, I haven't gotten around to replying (yet!) but I have read every one of them and appreciate them.
Have a wonderful weekend!

The lovely folks over at Fleet Collection noticed I featured their item in my latest Etsy Pretties post and have been kind enough to offer all of my readers a 15% off discount on any item from their Etsy store or website.

New signing Daniel Carrico is being lined up to make his Reading debut in the Barclays Premier League clash with West Brom on Saturday week.
Manager Brian McDermott has indicated that Carrico will miss this weekend's FA Cup third-round tie at Crawley after only completing his £600,000 move from Sporting Lisbon on New Year's Eve.
"Daniel will train tomorrow fully with the squad for the first time and then we'll have a look next week," McDermott said of the 24-year-old, who can play in defence or midfield.

August 3-9 Farmers Market WeekPublished by on
ST. PAUL, Minn. – Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton has proclaimed August 3-9, 2014, as "Farmers Market Week" in Minnesota to celebrate the benefits of farmers markets and the agricultural products farmers provide.
The popularity of farmers markets has increased, in part, because of the interest in healthier foods and lifestyles and an increased understanding of the importance of maintaining small, sustainable farms. Local farmers are able to offer consumers a variety of products including heirloom vegetables, heritage breeds of livestock, and other specialty products.

Where the flamingos fly: Mumbai, apparently!Akhila Vijayaraghavan, mongabay.com
April 03, 2013
The Sewri jetty is said to be the prime spot for flamingo watching, as well as many other specices of birds that are attracted to the mudflats. But according to the BNHS, this annual treat may soon be a thing of the past. Dumping of garbage, urban development and destruction of mangroves could damage the habitat completely. This year, an estimated 10,000 flamingos flew into the city. Every year this number varies between 8,000 to 11,000 but unchecked dumping of garbage along stretches of mangroves in the city has bird lovers concerned.

"But the biggest threat to Sewri comes from the proposed Nhava Sheva sea link, which will run straight through the mudflats. This will destroy the mudflats where flamingos and many other migratory birds feed," said Dr Asad R Rahmani, director, BNHS.
However if this sea link is moved by a few metres, this jetty could be saved and flamingos will continue to grace the city with their presence.

From Melodicrock.com:
No more teasing. Never tease where Van Halen is concerned… I have information from a highly placed source that Van Halen will likely tour in 2007 with David Lee Roth as frontman.
Negotiations are currently underway to re-unite Van Halen with their original frontman for a tour in 2007 that will take in America and possibly other territories. While nothing in the world of Van Halen is set until the band walk out on stage, I can confirm that negotiations between all parties have been underway for some time, trying to put together a big 2007 reunion tour.
One would presume the tour will feature classic VH era songs only. What I do not yet know is whether this plan includes exiled bass player Michael Anthony. Perhaps Wolfgang will play bass? I'm told these questions will be answered shortly.
Van Halen last toured in 2004 with Sammy Hagar, but the tour ended on a sour note and Hagar has not talked to Eddie Van Halen since.
What I also know is that there will be no new Van Halen release to go with the tour, such as The Best Of Both World's in 2004. There is no plans for a new compilation or a new studio album – just the tour.
More details when available.
— When it comes to Van Halen, Andrew at Melodicrock.com is very well connected and always seems to be dead on concerning any and all rumors on the band. We'll have to wait and see again on this one but it should have happened in 1996/97. If Michael Anthony isn't involved, that would be a shame.

Hi everyone! The Spring 2013 semester has started, and it is already packed as usual! I went on a mission trip to Belize over Winter Break, so I'm still adjusting to the cold weather and altitude here, not to mention different food and societal norms! Reverse culture shock is a great experience to be going through! I went with a group from one of the college ministries I attend, The Annex, of 24 of us, and now that we are all back in the US we have weekly gatherings so we don't lose touch with busy schedules! It was really fun to represent CU overseas - even at the airport we had people asking us about the Broncos! I attached a picture of our group at El Castillo, the Mayan ruins, in Belize below.
The first few weeks of a semester always involve fun events so everyone can reunite and to recruit new members to clubs and student groups. My classes are already interesting and crossing over one another - example of this is my Bilingual Education class and my American Ethnic Lit class where we are discussing problems with race in schools and society. It's all super interesting and I enjoy being able to parallel the readings from the two!
I also have Tuesdays and Thursdays off this semester, so I am planning on going up to ski during the weeks on occasion. I went up yesterday to Copper Mountain (1.5 hours southwest of CU) and my friends and I were some of the only people on the mountain for the morning! That's definitely a huge perk of going to school in Colorado :)
The weekend ahead involves me doing a lot of readings and such to get ahead in some of my classes, and also some more skiing on Monday! I hope you all have a great MLK day!

Authorities at the Ministry of defense (MOD) have released the official calendar of events for the celebration of this year's Armed Forces Day.
Disclosing this at the Barclay Training Center in Monrovia on Wednesday, Assistant Defense Minister for Public Affairs David Dahn said, "This year's Armed Forces Day celebration activities have already kicked off under the theme: 'The New AFL Ready, Willing and Capable'.''
He said the activities began on February 3, with the filming of a documentary on the Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL), as a force for good, on selected local television stations.
"From February 6-10, the AFL will carry out cleanup campaign and medical outreaches in Barnesville and Stephen Tolbert Estates. It will have thanksgiving Services at the Jacob Town Mosque; play football match with the Press Union of Liberia (PUL), conduct a symposium at the Monrovia City Hall. The workshop's theme is "Training, Regimentation and maintainers, and fundamental necessities to AFL being operational in 2014, among others."
The AFL spokesperson added, "The official celebration of Armed Forces day will take place on February 11 at the Barclay Training Center on UN Drive commencing at 7:00 am with the Deputy Force Commander of UNMIL Brigadier General John A. Kwasie, Serving as Keynote Speaker."
Mr. Dahn pointed out that other activities marking the commemoration of the day included unarmed combat drills, combat reach with road equipment, march-pass of equipment, and pass in review, among others.
Meanwhile the Liberian government, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has declared Monday, February 11 a national holiday in observance of the 56th anniversary of the Armed Force of Liberia.
At the sometime, Mr. Dahn said a platoon of the army would shortly depart Liberia for Mali on a peace keeping and military intervention mission.
The Armed Forces Day celebration is a yearly ceremony, which is held with various activities that often culminate into an official parade and ball.
The day was legislated on February 11, 1957, in order to remember officers and enlisted men as well as those who have sacrificed their lives for their country and people.
This year's celebration marks the day's 56th observance and the army's 105 years of existence, dating back to 1908.
The ministry is inviting the public, foreign guests, and dignitaries to the ceremonies, which it said would be flowery but significant.

Describe the campaign/entry
Branded Entertainment is rapidly growing in the US and is emerging as a leading alternative media strategy. The difficulty of reaching an increasingly consumers, who (1) have more ways to ignore and filter out brand messages than ever before and (2) the transformation of communications due to these developments, have made it more important than ever for brands in the US to invest in branded entertainment. In 2010, advertisers spent over $25bn on branded entertainment and that number is expected to reach over $38bn by 2014, a 9.2% compound annual growth rate.
Our challenge was to reintroduce Denny's to a younger audience and capture the essence of the Denny's experience - the openness, the comfort, and the fun - all in the digital space.
To do so, we decided to develop an original web series, one that would allow us to create content that was entertaining and relevant to our younger audience while reinforcing the Denny's brand strategy. We teamed up a production company to bring our idea of a comedic interview show, to life. We called it, 'Always Open'.
Every decision we made about content was done through an 'open' filter. We selected David Koechner, perhaps best known from his role in Anchorman, as host because both his real life and on-screen personas mirrored the laid back and approachable nature of the Denny's consumer. We decided to make every episode entirely unscripted. After all, improvisation is spontaneous, genuine, and inherently open in nature. We briefed Dave to try and get his guests to open up, to reveal things about themselves that fans wouldn't have learned any place else. And so, of course, we leaned towards guests who could improvise, were fun, and genuine. People like Sarah Silverman, Will Arnett, Amy Poehler, Jason Bateman, Will Forte and Kristen Bell. In addition, to the client's credit, they were surprisingly open about letting the conversation go where it might. Whether the dialogue veered to STDs, sleeping in the nude, or other touchy subjects, it was authentic and it made it into the show. The comfort food and cosy environment of a Denny's booth made it all possible.
Describe the creative solution to the brief/objective.
To get the word out about the Always Open series, we took a 2-pronged approach that utilised both paid and earned channels. For paid media, we teamed up with the leader in comedy-driven entertainment targeting Millennials: college humour. Within collegehumor.com, we had a unique URL to house all of the videos when they were released as well as being featured on the homepage and their social media channels. For earned media, we utilised social media and blogger outreach to drive word-of-mouth. We reached out to celebrity, entertainment, and fan bloggers to promote individual episodes and the series overall.
Describe the results in as much detail as possible.
Our primary objective for Always Open has been to increase positive perceptions and talk worthiness of the Denny's brand specifically among Millennials.
Our perceptual rating as measured by Brandindex doubled, leaping from a 16.2 to 32.
Our Buzz rating also nearly doubled, increasing from 36.1 to 66.1.
Videos received over 6m views.
In fact, a Yougov Brand Index from March 2011, covering the Always Open timeframe, shows that perceptions among Millennials increased so much they came to rate us even more highly than the adults who traditionally represented our core consumer.
Even trade industry experts were impressed:
"Thanks to Denny's new celebrity web series called 'Always Open', they are the hottest brand online for the 18 - 34 demo" - Nation's Restaurant News 4.18.11
Since the launch of Always Open web series, Denny's has experienced its most successful business results in 5 years. Foot traffic, guest check average, and overall sales are in positive territory for the first time since 2006. (Source: Client's daily in-store tracking, 2011)
So, while Millennials are just one part of our diverse customer base, our success in getting them re-engaged with the brand has in turn helped power the overall renaissance of the brand.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The University of Louisville track and field teams are continuing their indoor season this weekend, as the squad heads to the Gene Edmonds Cup on the campus of Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind.
The Cardinals begin competition in the 19th annual event in the Lambert Fieldhouse with field events starting at noon and the running events commencing at 2 p.m. The final event, the men's 4x400m relay, is scheduled for 5:25 p.m. Along with host Purdue, Louisville is competing against IUPUI.

To open the meet, the Cardinals will send Chelsea Bingham and Chanel Krause to compete in the pole vault. Krause took fourth in the season opener, with a mark of 3.80m/12-5.50, just shy of cracking the school's top-five indoor list. Kevin Jackson and Marcus Motill are scheduled to partake in the men's section.
Also during the early portion of the meet, Louisville's throwers will be competing in the weight throw and shot put events. Sam Bombaugh captured the weight throw title, and Brad Vivace, who took second in the event, also posted a runner-up finish in the shot put. On the women's side, Patrice Gates is leading a group of five in the weight throw after taking second to begin the season.
The field events portion of the meet concludes with the jumps group, specifically the long jump, triple jump, and high jump events. Brittany Owens, who won the triple jump competition in the season opener, will participate in both the long jump and triple jump events. International transfer Guillaume Victorin is expected to make his Louisville debut in the long jump. He won two gold medals at the French Junior Championships.
The running events open with the 60m dash and hurdles events. Jermaine Parrish will compete in the men's 60m, followed by Gwen Shaw and a quartet of women in the 60m hurdles. Shaw was a four-time All-American in high school and won six national medals, including gold at the AAU Club Championships. In the men's hurdles, record-holder Calvin Arsenault is slated to begin his indoor campaign.
After the men's and women's mile events, the sprinters advancing to the finals will begin competition after 3 p.m.
Toward the end of the day, Louisville will send 13 women and four men to take part in the 200m. The final individual races are the 3,000m. Women's cross country standout Benadate Cheruiyot, who finished fifth at the AAC Championships, is among the Cardinals competing.
Louisville rounds out the meet with the women's and men's 4x400m relays.

There is also a place on James Island called The Lot-- very very impressive, a farm-to-table sort of place. Then you can go next door to the Pour House and have a beer and listen to whatever they have going on. Good little local James Island spot.

The depths of August usually bring those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer, but despite the sun and humidity retail giant Macy's Macy's still has winter on the brain: in reporting its second quarter earnings results Wednesday morning, Macy's cut its full-year sales outlook, saying that the sales decline from the snowy first quarter is too steep a deficit to fully overcome in the next six months.
Macy's reported $6.3 billion in second quarter revenue, a figure that is in line with the analyst consensus and marks a 3.3% increase over revenue reported this time last year. Net income came in at $292 million, resulting in earnings of 80 cents per share — an improvement over the year-ago quarter's 72 cents per share but growth that failed to meet the Street's 86-cent per-share earnings estimate.
Comparable store sales increased 3.4% during the quarter.
"Our sales trend improved at both Macy's and Bloomingdale's in the second quarter, reflecting a rebound in shopping activity once weather patterns normalized. We also benefited from a shift in a major Macy's promotional event into the first two days of the quarter," Terry Lundgren, Macy's chairman and CEO said in a statement Wednesday morning. He went on to add that his company is focusing on innovation strategies, especially those targeting the coveted Millennial demographic, which represents more than $200 billion in annual purchasing power. Lundgren said that focusing on the Gen Y set has "sharpened our merchandising and marketing to customers in the age range of 13 to 30. This has created new positive energy as our customers begin back-to-school shopping."
Despite the seemingly improving trends, Macy's said that the second quarter's growth won't be enough to compensate for all the consumers who stayed home during a very snowy first quarter. Macy's reaffirmed its 2% to 3% sales growth forecast for the second half of 2014 but cut its full-year growth forecast from a range of 2.5% to 3% to a lower range of 1.5% to 2%, saying, "even with an improved sales trend in the second quarter, the company was unable to make up its sales shortfall from the first quarter."
Macy's did reaffirm its full-year earnings per share guidance of a range of $4.40 to $4.50 per share.
Following the release of the earnings results, shares of Macy's fell in Wednesday's pre-market trading action and are currently down 4.9%. Year-to-date, the stock has gained nearly 12%.

ASU sends letter to TKE fraternity
On Sunday, Jan. 19, ASU's Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity held a racially-insensitive party, in "honor" of Martin Luther King Day.
The fraternity has already been on social probation, due to an off-campus brawl involving some of its members. As a result, they also weren't allowed to host "sanctioned university" events on the premises.
On Wednesday, ASU disseminated the letter to news outlets, detailing the alleged violations, according to the Arizona Board of Regents Student Code of Conduct.
The charges against the fraternity include violating a previous disciplinary sanction, violating university rules on alcohol, off-campus conduct that posed a risk to the university community or university property and participating in discriminatory activities.
While the school investigates the incident, TKE has been placed on "interim suspension," meaning they will "cease all operations and all formal chapter events and activities, both on- and off-campus" until further notice.
