Should Photographers Buy Promoted Tweets?
Posted By Marc Benton On April 19, 2010 @ 12:23 am In Business of Photography | 2 Comments
Photographers now have another option for spending their hard-earned advertising dollars. Last week Twitter announced Promoted Tweets [2], a service that finally moves them into the paid advertising space. Is this service one that photographers should seriously consider? And how does it compare to current advertising options such as Google AdWords and Facebook?
How It Works
Initially the service will act as a sponsored search. When you search on a keyword, the top return on the search results page (and only the top return) will be a sponsored tweet and will update as the page results do. The advertiser that paid the most for that keyword will be the one presented.
Nick O'Neill of SocialTimes [3] has put together a quick video demo of the service:
Twitter plans to roll out Promoted Tweets slowly and monitor its performance and resonance. Future phases of the product will include a roll-out to Twitter clients, and we may see their display beyond search results into users' feeds during the fourth quarter.
The Cost of Keywords
Twitter's concept is for advertisers to bid on keywords on a cost-per-thousand basis, similar to other online advertising models. A slight difference is the development of a performance model that would be the basis for pricing based on resonance.
"Resonance" reflects how well the tweet is accepted by the public — how it is passed around, retweeted and favorited, as well as its click-through performance. Sponsored tweets that have high resonance will stay in the cycle, while those with lower metrics will fall out.
The Twitter revenue model is "not just about us. It's about you if you choose to participate in that."
— Evan Williams, Twitter CEO
We can attempt to estimate the costs Twitter will charge per keyword by comparing existing price structures on Google and Facebook.
For example, the keyword Washington DC Wedding Photographer [4] on Google AdWords has a suggested bid of $2.60, with an average of 142 monthly searches. To target "Wedding Photography in DC" on Facebook, the site suggests a .60-.81 CPC or .28 CPM to target Washington, D.C., residents in an engaged status interested in weddings, which would reach an estimated 460 people.
One issue with this comparison is that the opportunities for ads on Google and Facebook are much greater than Twitter, at least at this stage.
Until Twitter adds Promoted Tweets to user feeds, these ads will only be available at the top of search results at Twitter.com, and only one at a time. Evan Williams reported that Twitter receives 600 million search queries a day, but no word on how many of these were served from Twitter.com or through API calls, where Promoted Tweets will not appear until a future phase.
The current implementation has the likelihood of creating major competition and increased prices for high-performing keywords.
Twitter ranking service TweetUp [5] announced another option for keyword bidding [6] last week.
At TweetUp, people can bid on key words or phrases to push their Twitter profile or posts to the top of TweetUp's rankings. Bids begin at one cent, and people will pay each time their profile or a post shows up in a search. TweetUp post rankings, both paid and relevant, will appear in services such as Seesmic, TwitterFeed and Twidroid and in search bars on Web sites like Answers.com and BusinessInsider.com.
Should Photographers Buy Promoted Tweets?
In most cases, the early bird gets the worm. I expect the early adopters from the photography community will be the likes of Scott Kelby [7] and David Ziser [8], both of whom obtain revenue beyond clicking the shutter. We will be able to learn from their efforts and adjust ours accordingly.
The early advertisements may not promote photography services at all, but rather products along the lines of training, books, Webinars and those that are not restricted by geographical boundaries. Twitter is making strides in improving their location functions; once this is more mature, I expect to see more advertising of photography services like weddings, portraits, etc.
As Aaron Hockley said on his Social Photo Podcast [9], photographers should devote their time and effort (and money) where their clients are.
A wedding photographer would do well on Facebook, where there is a large number of 20-something bride-to-be's. A corporate photographer would probably find his best clientele online at a social network like LinkedIn [10]. While Twitter has a good mix of clientele, it is heavily used by technology savvy people — which is a good target for photographers that provide technical event coverage or start-up marketing material production.
Must you spend money on Promoted Tweets to be effective on Twitter? No, the strength of Twitter for promotion continues to be the viral experience of retweets to increase your number of followers. It is a proven fact [11] that a solid Twitter marketing strategy combined with a well-designed and updated blog can improve lead opportunities for small to midsize businesses.
Our goal is to make Twitter a tool for finding what people care about, not just more information.
— Evan Williams
Time will tell.

If I start analyzing the head of the article, I might reply that the antithetic position or counter question could be: "Is it useful?"
Looking at the market of photography starting from one reality, the American one, is definitely narrowing the whole picture down to a multifaceted way of doing things. But it's just one. Twitter is not as strong and spread in the rest of the world as it is in the US.
Twitter if I may speak from my point of view, still does not have the same ability and power in penetrating the market as Google or Facebook have, in my experience I have found many colleagues on twitter, but not clients or potential ones.
I believe Twitter is useful, when integrated into Facebook and other social networks, to quickly update profile statuses and posting some links, but as a network itself and the promoted tweet tool along with it, does not seem that strong.
It may work for corporate realities, but for small businesses like the photographic ones may not be the strongest tool.
Since I joined Twitter I had the feeling I was among fellow competitors, trying to show their qualities in an arena where it was more like talking among experts belonging to the same field more than attracting new clients.
As I said, I use Twitter and I find it interesting, but have some doubts about its effectiveness as a business tool on its own.

The Final Inspection
The warrior stood and faced God,
Which will always come to pass,
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, old warrior,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"
The warrior squared his shoulders and
Said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
'Cause those of us who carry guns
Can't always be saint.
"I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
'Cause the world is awfully rough.
"But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
"And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
"I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here,
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
"If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand. In life
I didn't expect nor need too much,
So if you don't, I'll understand."
There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod,
As the warrior stood quietly.
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, my warrior,
You've born your burdens well,
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."

In July 25 episode of KBS Joy's B1A4′s Hello Baby, B1A4 and the babies Nam Hyun Woo and Jung Eun Sol met together for the first time.
The episode featured group members, who are from rural areas, debuting as a singer in Seoul. Videos of the members attending an audition were also released.
The five and six year old babies are also from rural areas.
Leader Jin Young met the babies first through a test to figure out his qualifications for their father. He ate shrimps with the kids and the reset of group members met them at home while cleaning.
The members were born in 1991 to 1993. They are still too young to be a father but they were ready to take care of the kids. They gave a magic show and played with dolls to comfort the kids, who were feeling uncomfortable with unfamiliar situation.
The group also played a quiz game to know more about Seoul.
The show has been airing since 2009 with SNSD. Then they cast popular idol stars, including, SHINee, SISTAR, T-ara, and MBLAQ in the show. Even though the show airs late at night, their target audience teenagers paid a lot of attention after the summer vacation has started.
The season five cast multicultural family kids with the group MBLAQ.
The idols stars became popular through the show by showing off their hidden charms and unveiling their own houses.
Group god has become a beloved national idol after they appeared on MBC's Nursing Diary. So the new group B1A4 is expected to grow one step higher through the show.

SIGVARIS' Newest Socks Are More than Just for Fashion
Doug Handy, who works as a commercial pilot in Atlanta is aware that the SIGVARIS Business Casual Socks he wears to make his legs feel better also act as a preventative measure against blood clots (economy-class syndrome), particularly during long flights overseas.
"I find that the Business Casual Socks make my legs feel better when I arrive at my destination," he says. "Even on days when I'm flying short runs, I can tell a difference in how my legs feel when wearing compression socks. I like to be proactive when it comes to my health and in preventing blood clots."
Every year, more than 2 million Americans experience a Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). These blood clots often lead to a Pulmonary Embolism (PE), and every year more people die from DVT/PE than AIDS and breast cancer combined, according to the National Blood Clot Alliance. However, a simple change in socks could be the key to avoiding a similar fate.
"People everywhere are unaware that graduated compression socks can help prevent DVTs," says Judith Brannan, SIGVARIS Medical Affairs & Education Manager. "Businessmen and pilots are particularly at risk for developing circulation disorders because they spend so much of their time sitting at their desk and/or traveling for work."
That's why SIGVARIS is excited to announce that the Business Casual line for men recently added a new color addition. They are now available in navy, brown, black and charcoal. They also feature a subtle striped pattern and are constructed with a soft microfiber yarn for all day comfort.
The SIGVARIS Business Casual Socks are a necessary wardrobe addition for any professional businessman who wants to add years to his life by preventing blood clots and vein disease. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends graduated compression socks as a preventative measure against DVT.

An exciting and unusually shaped shawl with an asymmetric swirl shape, perfect for showing off pretty variegated yarns!
The shawl features five panels of stocking stitch and lace that form a semi-circular swirl shape making a nice change from the usual triangular shawl shapes.
Alternate panels feature a simple lace stitch to create a strong contrast in texture between the stocking stitch and lace, which is bold enough to be visible even with highly variegated yarns.
All this makes for an uncomplicated but interesting and addictive knit that can easily be made to a custom size.

Click the image to the right to plan your trip.
The Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy and the National Park Service urge visitors to use public transportation to get to the park's many sites. A planning tool is integrated into the interactive map to the right.
Advisory: Some of the sites in the Golden Gate National Parks experience significant congestion and lack of park parking during peak periods. See below for details.
Muir Woods National Monument >>
Muir Woods experiences consistently heavy traffic congestion and parking problems during Saturdays and Sundays from 9 am–4 pm. Parking can be as far away from the park entrance as a mile and a half during these times. Please consider visiting during other days or times, use the Muir Woods Shuttle, or private tour operators.
Golden Gate Bridge Visitor Pavilion >>
The Golden Gate Bridge has very high visitation, with very limited parking at the Visitor Pavilion. Consider using public transit or a tour to visit. All Golden Gate Transit buses stop at this site.
Presidio & Crissy Field
The Presidio and Crissy Field have limited parking and high visitation, particularly on weekends. There are a number of public transit routes that provide access including MUNI and PresidiGo.
Other Park Sites >>
Other park sites that experience periodic congestion include Stinson Beach, Muir Beach, Ocean Beach, and some areas of the Marin Headlands.

So let me get this straight.
Premier Obama can send out Tom Donilon to 'leak' classified information about the war on terror, our use of cyberwarfare to thwart Iran's nuclear program, our high-tech methods of gathering intel on our enemies and the absolutely vital on-the-ground assets we've used to do all this. The Obambi Administration can give Hollywood movie director Kathryn Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal unprecedented access to the intimate details of the Osama bin Laden assassination strike, in order for the filmmakers to make a feature length campaign propaganda flick.
When it comes to Fast & Furious–a deliberate scheme to run guns into Mexico that the President wanted to use as an excuse to reinstate the Clinton-era assault weapons ban–only then does Admiral Obamster Selectively-Yapsalot want to play the 'loose lips sink ships' card.
Yeah, that makes perfect sense to me.
I for one am done writing about these trifling matters. Can't we focus on the important issues? I hear Eve Ensler performed her "Vagina Monologues" in Michigan the other day. That is where our attention needs to be.
Just stop complaining, poopie-head reich-wing Rethuglicans. Fast and Furious was Bush's gun-running program. Sheila Jackson Lee said it, so it must be true.
And everyone who is worried about the President leaking vital intelligence in order to make himself look tough need not worry. Obama's many many many years in the US Senate have prepared him to deal with classified information. Everybody knows that a community organizer/adjunct law school lecturer/junior US senator/beer summit enthusiast is exactly who you want handling our national security secrets.

Tonight New York Fashion Week officially kicks off, but already celebs are flooding into my fair city with trunks full of their finest couture. Everyone, that is, except Kim Kardashian. Last night I attended the Brian Atwood party at the Four Seasons and was horrified at Kimmy's unflattering dress.
Mid-calf is a length that should be avoided at all costs, darlings, especially when you're as curvy as KK happens to be and especially especially if the skirt is slim. The tea-length could have possibly maybe perhaps worked had the skirt been poufy, but as is, Kim is already the flop of NYFW.

Fresh angle on the sun
The first 3D images of the sun were released by NASA on Monday. They were created using pictures taken simultaneously by the satellite duo called Stereo, launched in October 2006. Stereo captured holes in the sun's corona and magnetic loops rising from particularly turbulent parts.
Gorillas on the up
The number of mountain gorillas living in Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable Forest has increased by 6 per cent since 2002. For the first time, the survey by conservation agencies used genetic sampling to avoid counting the same individual twice. Bwindi's gorillas now number 340, up from 320 in 2002, and 300 in 1997.

Willimantic, Conn. - Award-winning author Salman Rushdie will open Eastern Connecticut State University's 11th Annual Arts and Lecture Series on Tuesday, Oct. 4 in the Geissler Gymnasium. Like all Arts and Lecture events, Rushdie's lecture begins at 7 p.m.
Rushdie is the author of 10 fictional novels inspired by his homeland of India, including "The Satanic Verses"; "Grimus"; and "Midnight's Children," winner of the Booker Prize for Fiction, the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, Arts Council Writers' Award and the English-Speaking Union Award. His third published novel, "Shame" won the Prixu du Meilleur Livre Étranger.
Rushdie's most recent works include the children's book, "Haroun and the Sea," which won a Writers' Guild Award and was later adapted for the stage; "The Moor's Last Sigh"; "The Ground Beneath Her Feet"; "Fury"; "Shalimar the Clown," which was a finalist for the Whitbread Book Awards; and "The Enchantress of Florence."
The Arts and Lecture series continues on Nov. 14 with a lecture by television and film actor Dan Lauria, best known for his portrayal of Jack Arnold on the American television series, "The Wonder Years," which ran from 1988 to 1993. Lauria's lecture is also in the Betty R. Tipton Room.
Lauria has appeared on such television series as "How I Met Your Mother"; "Army Wives"; "The Mentalist"; "Law and Order: Criminal Intent"; "Smallville"; "JAG"; "Criminal Minds"; "Costello"; "Party of Five"; and "Amazing Grace." He has been in numerous TV movies and had a role in the 1996 movie "Independence Day."
Lauria also has written, directed and produced for the stage. He appeared in the off-Broadway production of "A Stone Carver" in 2006; played Jimmy Hoffa in Brian Lee Franklin's "Good Bobby," a fictionalized account of Robert Kennedy's rise; and in 2010, starred as Vince Lombardi in the Broadway play "Lombardi."
On Feb. 15, 2012, the U.S. Coast Guard Dixieland Jazz Band brings its special brand of classic jazz, blues and New Orleans ragtime to Eastern's Shafer Auditorium. The band was organized in 1970 and has entertained audiences across America, as well as in the former Soviet Union, Japan, Taiwan and England. Notable venues include the open-air theater in Disney World; the Boardwalk in Atlantic City; the Galaxy Jazz Festival in Milwaukee; the Embarcadero in San Francisco and Mardi Gras in New Orleans. The group has also performed on numerous radio and television broadcasts across the nation.
Veteran journalist Laura Ling wraps up the 2011-12 Arts and Lecture Series on March 13 with a lecture in the Betty R. Tipton Room. Ling is the host and reporter on "E! Investigates," a documentary series on the E! Network that explores such topics as teen suicide and the challenges faced by military spouses.
Prior to joining the E! Network, Ling served as vice president of Current TV's journalism department and created Current's weekly investigative documentary series "Vanguard." She also worked as a correspondent reporting on crucial issues around the world, including slave labor in the Amazon; Mexico's drug war; Internet censorship in China; and women's rights in Turkey.
In March 2009, while reporting on the trafficking of North Korean women, Ling was detained by North Korean soldiers along the Chinese-North Korean border. She and her colleague Euna Lee were arrested and held captive in North Korea for 140 days before being granted a special pardon and returning to the United States.

Crowdfunding is on the rise, and Kickstarter is leading the pack. Not only is the trend increasing but, it I've noticed that the word "Kickstart" has replaced some of the actual terms used when referring to other areas of crowdfunding.
I'm guilty of this myself.
"You know you should Kickstart that thing," or "Why don't you run a Kickstarter test on it?"
It may be a while off before any verbs change in the Websters Dictionary, but for now let take a look at the facts and a few Kickstarter tips that you need to know.
The Importance of Statistics
Statistics are used to make important decisions. Facts and figures are often required to justify different marketing strategies to multiple departments within an organization, or directly to the CEO. Sometimes those numbers can get quite distracting, sometimes even a little addicting.
Here are the latest facts, figures and statistics for Kickstarter that marketers and publishers need to take notice of.
An infographic is also included.
Kickstarter Facts:
- over 5 million daily visitors
- 3700 ongoing projects funded
- $18 Million of funding
- Multiple projects cross the $1 million threshold
- Film and Video, Games, Music, and Technology are the largest Categories
The Science of Crowdfunding with Kickstarter
Running a campaign to completion with a successful finish is a science and an art. It's both. Knowing the process of pre-launch, launch, and execute is the science bit. Actually doing it is the art bit. (Knowing how to eat right and exercise daily vs. Actually eating right and exercising everyday)
How it works:
- Artist with an Idea
- Which category?
- Raise money for your project
- Set rewards
- Showcase your Project
- Enter the Community
- Update your investors
- Receive the Funds
- Celebrate!
What Kickstarter has Kickstarted
Kickstarter has made millions of dollars from millions of individuals across the global accessible to everyday people like you and me.
This has created massive changes and shifts in the way companies are started, funded, and scaled. The ripples from this are yet to reach as far as they can go, and this is exciting to watch and take part in. Stating that we live now in one of the most exciting times in the last 100 years is simply a massive understatement.
More Kickstarter Facts:
- Last year Kickstarter surpassed the Natioinal Endowment for the Arts in funds distributed to artists
- What's popular and whats profitable are intertwined
- Activity throughout the country outside of major US cities continues to grow
- Scammers are uncovered and banned
Kickstarter Info Kit:
Where did it come from, and why is it here?
"It's about creative independence, and the notion that something can exist because people want it to." – Yancy Strichler, Co-founder
Kickstarter was born out of the need and the desire for people to help each other fullfil their passions and dreams. Without funding, most projects never see completion, or worse yet, never even see the light of day. Here some some of the facts about Kickstarter:
- Brooklyn Startup 2009
- Based in Manhattan's Lower East Side
- Categories include: Art, Comics, Dance, Design, Fashion, Film and Video, Food, Games, Music, Photography, Publishing, Technology and Theater.
- 36 subcategories
- Tips and Guidelines
Getting Funded Online is not restricted to Kickstarter:
Although Kickstarter has some impressive numbers that are easy to shine a spotlight on, it is not the only route to getting the funding that you need online.
Why Students should take over Kickstarter:
Students perhaps may be in a great spot to be testing out new business ideas and projects. In fact, some specific crowdfunding platforms have been appearing to help with this need. Here are just a few:
Kickstarter is Rocking the Music Industry:
Kickstarter has also taken it's toll on the music industry, in a good way. Not all disruptions to an industry need to close more doors than they open, and the fact that Kickstarter is leading the pack in the music industry is inspiring for all those artists out there with contributions of their own to the scene.
To your Kickstarter Success,

"Thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments" (Deuteronomy 28:1b).
"I'm not going to tell you twice," I said to my daughter as she sat with her nose in a book. Frustrated, I thought to myself, "How many times do you have to ask your children to do something before they obey?" Expecting immediate obedience from my children seemed dogmatic, but our homeschooling was never going to survive without their willingness to obey when first asked. As I began to teach and maintain this new discipline, extra effort was required to reinforce my words. However, as my children learned to obey me, I knew they were also learning something even more important — how to obey God when He first asks.
The Bible has many examples of people who suffered the consequences of ignoring, questioning, or rebelling against God when He first spoke to their hearts. Moses was rebuked by God in Exodus 14:15 when he failed to lead the people through the Red Sea at the right time. Jonah suffered the hardships of a shipwreck and lived in the belly of a big fish before he finally went to Nineveh, and the entire nation of Israel wandered in the desert for 40 years before enjoying the Promised Land. Clearly, serving the Lord with immediate obedience is God's desire for His children.
Is there something God has been asking you to do? Perhaps He wants you to witness to a neighbor, teach vacation Bible school, or restore a broken friendship. If you've been ignoring His voice, questioning His commands, or refusing to obey, He will reinforce His words. As a holy and loving Father, He's asking you to show your love by obeying the first time He asks. "That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days" (Deuteronomy 30:20a).
Father, I know You desire my obedience in all things. Forgive me when I drag my feet and fail to trust in Your Word. I love You. Please, speak to my heart and show me again what You would have me do. In Jesus' name, Amen.
"Thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments" (Deuteronomy 28:1b).

Photos purporting to show Apple's upcoming fifth iPhone device have leaked for the second time in a week.
Last week two instances of images allegedly showing the next-generation iPhone were published to the internet.
Both accounts, along with images given to Kitguru, appear to confirm reports of a 4-inch screen and bigger form factor of 58.47mm x 123.83mm.
The photos of the "pre-release test sample" similarly confirm reports of a headphone jack moved from its traditional position on the top of the handset to the bottom.
The Kitguru report has since been removed from the website.

Guns of Icarus Online OST
As you can probably guess, I've been playing a lot of Guns of Icarus Online recently, and I think it's time I talk about the soundtrack. It's a topic I've rather avoided because honestly, aside from the intro title and the battle music, I've never really noticed the music. I'm …
My Favourite Scam: Holiday Specials
Can I just say how much I love holiday promotions in video games?
I mean, sure, they're silly, unnecessary, and often shallow ploys to draw in more players during vacation times. This ploy, however, is supremely effective, and I fall for it every time.
Guns of Icarus Online: Caitlin's New Favourite Game
I have a new favourite game.

The Frozen Alphabet
Activity DesignerNicole Duggan
159 Projects
Learn letters, explore, and play with "The Frozen Alphabet"! All you need to get started are letters and water.
What You'll Need
- plastic letter magnets
- ice cube tray - or small containers
- water
- net - or slotted spoon or tongs
How We Did It
To prepare for "The Frozen Alphabet", put one plastic letter in each part of the ice cube tray or in a small container, fill it with water, and freeze. The plastic letters wanted to float so I pushed them down in the tray and the container as much as possible.
I filled our sand table with water and dumped the letter ice cubes in. If you don't have a sand or water table you can use a large container filled with water or even a small baby pool.
Grab the letters with your hands, a slotted spoon, tongs, or a net. If they were still frozen, N had to put it back and look for a new one. She felt sorry for the letters all frozen in those ice cubes and decided she wanted to help them escape.
As you help each letter escape its cube, say the letter and/or letter sound and transfer it to "safety" (a bowl or tray).

Good morning Lance; it's nice to meet you, thanks for the invite!
Hope you have a wonderful day, take care!
We complain about the cross we bear but don't realize
it is preparing us for the dip in the road that God can see and we can't.
Whatever your cross, whatever your pain,
there will always be sunshine, after the rain....
Perhaps you may stumble, perhaps even fall;
But God's always ready, to answer your call.....
He knows every heartache, sees every tear,
a word from His lips, can calm every fear...
Your sorrows may linger, throughout the night,
But suddenly vanish, dawn's early light....
The Savior is waiting, somewhere above,
to give you His grace, and send you His love...
God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage.

Slowly he rises, puts his feet on the floor
and for a moment he wonders what his shift has in store.
Just another day, its come that time
he must again face the world of crime.
Hours have passed after well earned rest,
so he takes a shower and dons his vest.
Proudly he buttons his uniform blue
tightens his belt, and laces his shoes.
Then last of all, his badge and pin
with St Michaels help he knows he will win.
He sits and waits, then comes the call 911
Fear cast aside, the fight has begun.
He drives at top speed
to help those in need
then silently prays
God be with me today.
To some it means nothing, just a fight in a bar
or to arrest a drunk driver at the wheel of a car.
A robbery gone wrong at a grocery store,
or saying, I'm sorry... you're baby's not coming home anymore.
You wonder sometimes how at night he can sleep,
after things he deals with, things he sees on the streets.
He'd jump into a house fire without second thought,
scale walls and run blocks till a suspect is caught.
Thinks nothing of wrestling a man with a gun
Yet, he's looked down upon cursed and abused by some.
Every day he will put his life on the line
to make things better for people like you.
So he's not "just a cop" but a hero to me
always my angel in blue.

Coach: Daniel Weimer, 10th season
2013: 2nd at Hancock County, 3rd at Hoosier Heritage Conference, 5th at New Palestine Sectional, 19th at Carmel Semistate
Returning varsity runners
Sarah Schwartz/11, Bailey Wallace/11, Marissa Crosby/12, Mattie Waggoner/11, Meghan Reel/11, Brianna Komornik/12, Izzy Fleetwood/12, McKenzie Privette/11, Natalie Lindsay/10
Newcomers: Grace Mitchell/9, Emma Whiggington/9
Outlook: Sarah Schwartz rightfully and deservedly receives plenty of headlines when it comes to the New Palestine girls cross country team.
The junior is gunning for a third straight Hancock County championship this fall, giving her the chance to join former Eastern Hancock runners Breanna Lawyer and Shana Wyatt as three-time winners of the event. (Should Schwartz win this year, she would enter her senior season with the chance to equal Mt. Vernon's Amye Adcock (2002-05) as the only four-time winner of the competition).

The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Sunday, November 25, 1:30 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Anaheim Convention Center Arena (9,000) -- Anaheim, California. Television: ESPNU. Home Record: Xavier 3-0, Drake 1-0. Away Record: Xavier 0-0, Drake 0-1. Neutral Record: Xavier 1-1, Drake 1-1. Conference Record: Xavier 0-0, Drake 0-0. Series Record: First-ever meeting.
GAME NOTES: The Drake Bulldogs and Xavier Musketeers will try to leave the DirecTV Classic on a positive note as they square off in the fifth-place game at the Anaheim Convention Center.
Xavier came into the tournament with a perfect 3-0 record that consisted of wins over Fairleigh Dickinson (117-75), Butler (62-47) and Robert Morris (61-59). However, Chris Mack's squad was handed a surprising loss by Pacific in the first round of the tourney due to a poor defensive effort. The Musketeers recovered the following day by fending off the Drexel Dragons for a four-point win. Xavier will now try to improve its 4-1 record before its tough upcoming road game at Purdue.
The Bulldogs improved to 2-2 after it pushed past the Rice Owls to a 77-66 win in the consolation round on Friday. With the help of impressive three-point shooting in the opening half (6-of-14), Drake took a 34-30 lead into intermission. Rice jumped back in front in the second half, but the Bulldogs produced a 22-8 run to win by double-digits Coach Mark Phelps was not happy his squad was beat on the glass 40-26 in its first round game versus California, but Drake held a 36-28 advantage in the rebounding battle with the Owls. The win ended a two-game losing slide for the Missouri Valley Conference program.
This will be the first meeting between these teams in history.
With the exception of its season opening rout of FDU, Xavier is scoring an average of only 64.8 ppg. However, its defensive effort has been able to limit its opponents to 60.3 ppg during that span. Coach Mack's team that was nationally ranked at this time last year relied on its star backcourt of Tu Holloway and Mark Lyons on offense. This season is different as Xavier is exhibiting a balanced attack with five double-digit scorers. Dee Davis is averaging a team-best 14.2 points per game and is also dishing out 4.8 assists per outing while Travis Taylor, Jeff Robinson and Justin Martin are all scoring more than 10 ppg each. The Musketeers may be heading back towards last season's star-reliant system as freshman guard Semaj Christon is on the rise. He is second on the team in scoring (13.8 ppg) and first in assists (6.5 apg) after scoring a career-high 23 points to go with a game-high six assists versus Drexel.
Not to be outdone by its opponent, Drake had five players score in double- figures in Friday's win over Rice. The team had a strong offensive performance as it knocked down 46.2 percent of its field goal attempts and 11-of-25 from beyond the arc while turning the ball over only eight times. The team was able to outrebound the Owls thanks in large part to Jordan Clarke, who produced a double-double with 15 points and tournament record 18 rebounds. Ben Simons connected on 4-of-9 attempts from long distance to score a team-high 18 points in the win while Chris Hines, Seth VanDeest and Gary Ricks Jr. all reached double figures as well. Simons is leading the team with 16.8 ppg. Richard Carter will try look to bounce back after being held under 10 points for the first time this season in the triumph over Rice.
Both these squads have performed well in the early season. Xavier will be tough to beat if Christon rides the momentum from his last outing into this one. Although the Bulldogs have shown the ability to score, the Musketeers are better defensively than their previous opposition.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Xavier 71, Drake 66

A pirates life - Acrylic on canvas
Well, at the very least, I'm getting faster.
My last painting which was about the same size took 2 weeks and it was black and white... I'm only 4 days into this painting, one of which was spent entirely repositioning the eye and the lips (you can see what im talking about in the progress images below). If I planned a little more carefully, I could have saved another day.
So here it is:
My initial intention was to make it a mannerist piece, which is why the neck is so long. Unfortunately, I got too caught up in rendering the image, so now it just looks like she has a freakishly long neck. And you can tell that the photos were taken in different lighting situations. I really need to learn how to correct my photos.
- Started off pretty loose, blocking out some basic values. (Looking back in hindsight, I wish I kept it loose for the entire process)
- Started working out the details a little more.
- Filled in the eyes, nose and lips.
- Blocked out some basic highlights.
- Started pushing the contrast a bit more.
- Added near blacks and worked up the background... I dunno why I did this. Probably should have held off on the background.
- Messed with the eye and the lips.
- Added an eye-patch. I was initially a bit concerned with the eye-patch. I didn't want it to look like I was hiding her other eye because I can't draw it. But I went with it anyway.
- Detailed the face and neck more.
- Added the ribbon at the bottom for text. Don't know what it will say yet.
- Added the skull and cross bones to the eye patch.
- Fixed the back lighting to make the figure pop more.
- Noticed the uni-boob problem. I'm going to probably hint at the left breast with some back-lighting.
- Also note that the canvas runs about a 1/2 inch further in each direction... the ribbon doesn't run up against the edge like that.
To do:
- Fix where the nose meets the forehead.
- Fix the neck
- Fix her shoulder
- Fix the uni-breast situation.
- Detail the ribbon.
- Add text.
Some detailed shots:
So I'm pretty happy with the brush strokes in the face area. The one area I'm not so jazzed about is where the nose meets the forehead. Any suggestions?
Also, my intent was to let some of the background color "bleed" into the shadows of the face. You can sort of see that to the right of her lips, but I'm not sure if I was too successful in pulling it off.
Detail shot of the neck. Although I'm happy with the brush strokes on the neck, it looks too cylindrical (which a co-worker pointed out). I know what I SHOULD be doing (make it a little more box-like), but I'm not sure how to go about it. Thoughts?
Again, my intent was to let the background bleed into the shadows of the neck where it's the darkest. You can see this under the chin a bit... Not sure if I pulled it off though. Thoughts?

Yeah... I started off with some really expressive brush strokes, and looking back in hindsight, I wish I had keep it loose. Also the change in shape of her eye and lips really changed the mood drastically.
Maybe on the next one, fellas.

Thanks for the comments thus far... I'm trying to push a more painterly style on a couple pieces I'm working on right now.
So other than the style and/or feel shtuffies... Anybody have any additional comments? Lighting? Anatomy?
How about where the nose meets the fore-head. This looks a bit funny to me, but I have no idea how to change it.
For some reason, I can't put my finger on it, but something looks off in the painting.

But there was more to this obsequiousness than the weakness of one officer.
late 15c., "prompt to serve," from Middle French obséquieux (15c.), from Latin obsequiosus "compliant, obedient," from obsequium "compliance, dutiful service," from obsequi "to accommodate oneself to the will of another," from ob "after" (see ob-) + sequi "to follow" (see sequel). Pejorative sense of "fawning, sycophantic" had emerged by 1590s. Related: Obsequiously; obsequiousness (mid-15c.).

Detecting movements with Motion
The motion detector software, Motion, monitors the video signal from one or multiple cameras and is able to detect whether a significant part of the picture has changed, record and track movement, or launch arbitrary external commands to trigger other actions.
The free Motion [1] software, by Jeroen Vreeken and Kenneth Jahn Lavrsen, can help monitor your office or home while you are away. Motion takes photos and captures videos when movement occurs and, if needed, the computer running the software can mail or text you the images. You can install Motion locally or use a web interface to control it. If needed, the software can monitor multiple cameras.
The install on Ubuntu is relatively simple. Feisty Fawn (7.04) and Edgy Eft (6.10) include version 3.2.3 of the software in their Universe repositories. You also need to install the FFmpeg and nasm packages. Users with Ubuntu 6.10 and 6.06, Debian Sid, and Fedora Core 4 can use the latest version 3.2.7 of Motion. Users with Ubuntu Feisty Fawn will need to build from the source code to have the latest version. Users with SUSE (SUSE Linux 10.1 or openSUSE 10.2) will need to build Motion whatever, as the "Building Motion" box describes.

The classification plan is based on a systematic review and analysis of the duties responsibilities of all positions in the Supreme Court classified personnel system. Classification is based on a variety of factors including duties performed, scope and level of responsibilities assigned, the nature and extent of supervision received and/or exercised, and the knowledge, abilities and skills required. Positions having similar duties and responsibilities are grouped into classes or occupational groupings and are assigned to a salary grade.
It may be necessary to reclassify specific jobs. Such action can be taken by the Supreme Court upon written recommendation of any supervisor. It is a supervisor's responsibility to monitor changes in duties and/or responsibilities to maintain appropriate classification assignments. Any reclassification which lowers a salary grade will not result in a salary reduction for an incumbent.

Swimmers Break Four School Records in State Meet
The swimming program at Asheville School continued to shine at the state level on Tuesday, February 21 in Greensboro, NC, with boys' and girls' swimmers breaking four school records and achieving 38 personal best times in 56 total events.
After last week's first places finished by the boys' and girls' swim teams in the CAA Championships, the Blues continue to outpace their own best times at the state level, in an extremely competitive field.
"The state meet was a wonderful wrap-up to a successful 2011-2012 Swim Season," said Frank Kriegler, head swim coach. "The kids swam really well, and we really went out on a good note."
During the NCISAA state meet, the Asheville School boys' team placed 7th overall, while the girls' team finished 15th. The performance of two freshmen swimmers stood out, both breaking school records. Kaylee Pierson broke the 100 Breaststroke record and placed 9th in the event, and also broke the 100 Fly record in an event where she placed 13th. Joey Kreigler broke the 500 Freestyle Record and placed 4th in the event, he also placed 4th in the 200IM.
The Men's 400 Free Relay (Kriegler, Wood, Smith, Hamilton) finished in 4th place with a record-breaking time -- an accomplishment their coach is probably most proud of.
"The 400 Freestyle Relay is probably the best swim I've seen at our school. It was really well done," Frank Kriegler said. "We had a lot of great best times and some really impressive swims."
Senior Zach Smith placed 6th in the 100 Fly. Gunnar Hamilton placed 15th in the 50 Freestyle and 14th in the 100 Freestyle. Junior Robert Cook placed 11th in the 200 Freestyle, and 13th in the 100 Breaststroke. Junior Patrick Wood placed 13th in the 200 Freestyle and 7th in the 500 Freestyle. The Men's 200 Medley Relay (Kriegler, Wood, Smith, Hamilton) placed 7th and the 200 Freestyle Relay (DeRosa, Fenn, Holewsko, Cook) placed 12th. The Women's 400 Freestyle Relay (Moussallem, Bal, Willingham, Pierson) placed 10th and the 200 MedleyRelay (Willingham, Pierson, Moussallem, Napier) placed 15th.

Got these for my husband since he wont take the liquid Floradix. Its harder for him to manage to get all the required tablets in during the day but he feels better taking them than not. He doesnt complain of these ones making him feel ill either. Easy to swallow without having to deal with the taste.

How can I prevent financial scams?
Nowadays the technology has a big impact on our living. The economic system and financial operations are easier now with the help of the web and technology. If we utilised money in the past, for nearly each piece we get from the market, now, more and more people use cards. We can't think about our trading without making use of these cards. The banking institutions get a great benefit from this, as well as we have. It's simpler and comfortable to use them, as you can get all the cash, income and profits there. When you do a purchase, you do not have to think of your money, and in which wallet they are.
If you own a business or if you just make numerous online dealings and financial trades using these cards, it's very important to avoid the scams in your activities. For this you should consider the BIN of the credit cards. BIN comes from Bank Identification Number, and it signifies the first six numbers of any credit card. Today it has developed the technique of
bin check
, meaning the control of this number. This is all can be achieved employing online services and particularly, using the BIN checker web sites. One of the best and greatest for using web page that may help you to test BIN is
. You can moderate your cards as well as your transactions by examining these six figures. It can help you to improve the security of your online dealings. The firm that wants to own this sort of control based on the id numbers of the cards needs to have a BIN database, and then it can check if the cards are legitimate. These BIN data sources will offer you the opportunity to determine if the credit cards are current. BIN checker web site will decrease the chances of some scams and prevent monetary loss. It is a great chance to be sure concerning your or your corporation transactions.
It is not a very old procedure, to
bin checker
these credit cards with the aid of BIN checker web sites, but it is utilised today by more and more people and organizations to be certain regarding their monetary protection. You may as well make a BIN data source if you want to take up a firm, or if you possess a business. This may help you to increase the financial transactions safety. The numbers shows the issuing bank, the state, the funding type, the subtypes, the check brand and more additional info. Look into the internet site and notice how it works.

January 6 (part 2): A big day for Buddhist temples in Yangon.
Click the photos to enlarge them.
Reclining Buddha in the Chaukhtetgyi Pagoda. This enormous image is the one that President Obama was photographed in front of during his recent trip to Burma. This photo, however, is taken from a different vantage point, one that emphasizes the writing on the soles of the Buddha's feet.
There are often many sculptural images of the Buddha in a single room of a temple. Here they are life-sized, made of shiny plaster to emulate alabaster.
Schwedagon Pagoda is the biggest and most important Buddhist site in Burma. To an outsider, it seems to be a religious site, a community gathering place, and an amusement park.

The Guillotine Nipple Stirrup is a famous nipple jewelry piece you will sure want to have in your collection. It has a unique shape that will draw attention to your nipples.
This jewelry piece consists of a barbell and a stirrup. The barbell is made of Surgical Steel, so it's body-safe and comfortable. The stirrup itself is made of Sterling Silver.
Customer Reviews
- Excellent Review by DoctorQuality
This is a high quality, sterling silver, stirrup. (The barbell is not.) This is the second one I've owned. It's distinctive and a lot more upscale in appearance that a lot of other stirrups I've seen or considered.
I also like that it is "orally tuggable" by partners ... and that it generates some swiveling motion during ordinary wear.
Given I am male, I would have liked to seen it offered in a slightly narrower usable width. (But I was able to bend it a bit to cover that issue).
I took it to a jeweler at a kiosk in the mall and gave him a few bucks to gold plate it. Now it looks REALLY expensive!

It is all it was advertised to be. I like it and wear it constantly. If my other nipple was pierced I would buy another.
