Brands and Bloggers: Keep Your Sponsored Content Legal
Mar 11th
By Kerry Gorgone, {grow} Contributing Columnist
Disclosure: it's not just the name of a bad Demi Moore movie.
Marketers, bloggers, brands and other content publishers are legally required to mention if they have a relationship that could bias the opinions they share. Each country has its own laws regarding false advertising, but the gist of things nearly everywhere is that you must disclose "material facts" not obvious to the person seeing a post or claim you're making.
"Material" in this context means that a reasonable person would consider the fact important when assessing your credibility as a source of information on the topic. For example, if I receive free baby clothes from a brand, I'm more likely to give the brand a favorable review on my blog, or on a third-party site like Amazon.
Unless I say that I got the clothes for free, readers might think my opinion was purely based on my experience using them, and they might be more inclined to purchase that brand. On the other hand, if they knew I'd gotten the clothes for free, they could better weigh my positive comments against the possibility that I'm happier with them because I didn't have to pay, or maybe just said I was happy with them in order to continue receiving free goods.
Whether they discard my opinion out of hand, or take it with a grain of salt, they have a right to know there's a connection between me and the brand I'm reviewing. In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission regulates advertising to protect consumers from false and misleading claims.
Here's the litmus test: if a moron in a hurry wouldn't realize that your post was sponsored content, or that your research firm has a relationship with the brand you find to be the best in its product category, you need to expressly say so. "But how can I," you might ask. "Twitter only gives me 140 characters!"
Disclosure doesn't have to be hard (even in a tweet)
- Are you posting something relating to a client? Add "[Client]" to your tweet.
- Did a company sponsor your trip to their annual gala in Las Vegas so you could cover the product launch they announced there? Add "[Sponsored]."
- Incorporate "#ad" if you're short on space. Character limitations are no excuse for failing to disclose the connection.
Didn't think I needed to get me more excited for the Tourney this month, but fine, this will do: http://t.co/b9IqHCJ5jm #WhoWillYouBe #ad — Joel McHale (@joelmchale) March 8, 2015
Disclose every time you make a claim or share a post in which there is a relationship or connection not obvious to the reader. Don't post a disclosure saying "the next 20 or so tweets are all sponsored," and never mention it again. That won't do it. "The disclosure should be in each and every ad that would require a disclosure if that ad were viewed in isolation." (Source: FTC's .Com Disclosures, March 2013)
Think of disclosure like disinfecting
It's not difficult, it's just annoying because you have to do it all the time. But if you're scrupulous about it, and disclose (or disinfect) every time, you won't have any trouble. "But why bother," you might well ask. "Nobody else does it."
As I've said in the context of giveaways, just because everyone else is breaking the law doesn't mean you should, too. Justice is a funny thing: it might circle around a few times before landing. But it always lands, like the FTC landed on Deutsch LA for having employees post about Sony's PlayStation Vita on their personal social media feeds …without mentioning that Sony was an agency client.
Brands, bloggers, and influencers, you're on notice: the FTC expects disclosure. Here are some tips for keeping things legal across the different social networks and platforms you use for marketing.
When in doubt, disclose.
Don't worry so very much about precisely when this person gave you something valuable. Even if it was six months ago, disclose. It's better to be overly cautious now than sorry later.
Don't focus on hashtags: focus on communicating.
As I've said before, using hashtags is neither required nor especially helpful when it comes to disclosure. People tend not to search for hashtags like #SPON. If you want them to understand that you're linking to a blog post on a client's website, just say "[Client]." Most people know what that means.
If you receive swag or samples, you might use "[Ad]". People typically understand that, as well. And when space permits, use more than one word to explain the relationship. If you have no contractual agreements to discuss what you saw at the annual event in Las Vegas, for example, but you are writing a blog post about the company's new product line, mention that the brand paid for your trip to Las Vegas.
Brands: clearly communicate your expectations
Smart brands tell bloggers and influencers that they expect them to disclose in accordance with the law. Don't leave disclosure to chance. It's not worth it. Legal implications aside, you'll be under undercutting their value to your brand. Influencers that have lost the trust of their audience are no longer influential.
Tell bloggers you work with that you expect them to disclose early and often. Republic Publishing set expectations early on for influencers and bloggers working with them to promote the Nokia Lumia smartphone.
Please feel free to start posting with #LumiaSwitch as soon as you get your beautiful new device set up, we'll be keeping an eye out for the chatter **Disclosure reminder: When sharing information about Microsoft Lumia products/features/tools with the public, clearly disclose that it is a sponsored post and part of the #LumiaSwitch Project. ** A blanket tweet/post that your participation in the #LumiaSwitch activation is #SponsoredByLumia, for the duration of the activation period, would be great!
Personally, I wouldn't rely on a "blanket tweet/post" in light of the FTC's requirement that disclosure accompany "each and every ad," but everyone has to weigh the risks for themselves.
DISCLOSURE: Republic Publishing provided me with a Nokia Lumia phone (with voice and data) to test during the promotional period. See what I did there? Disclosed.
Seriously: it's that easy. And remember, it is always better to try to disclose. Even if you don't get it exactly right, you likely won't be fined as much as someone who elected not to bother at all.

But Everyone Else is Doing It: Why There are So Many Illegal Social Media Contests
Feb 11th
By Kerry Gorgone, {grow} Contributing Columnist
As an attorney turned educator, I frequently address groups about the legal aspects of social media and marketing. One topic that never fails to draw some questions is contests. The sea of rules and regulations that marketers, brands and bloggers must navigate is largely uncharted, and sometimes frightening.
For the sake of context, I'll cover them very briefly here, so you have a sense of what online marketers and bloggers are facing.
First, although people often call their giveaway a "contest" or "sweepstakes," each word actually means something slightly different, from a legal standpoint. In a contest, the winner is chosen based on merit (e.g. most creative haiku). In a sweepstakes, by contrast, the winner is selected at random. This type of promotion is often called a "giveaway."
Both of these can be effective ways to promote your business (or a client's business), so long as you avoid lotteries. A lottery involves paying for a chance to win. If you charge a fee for people to participate in your promotion, your "giveaway" just turned into an illegal lottery.
The tranparency problem
What many people have trouble is understanding that, from a legal standpoint, paying for a chance to win doesn't necessarily mean dollars and cents. It could mean the time you take to comment on a blog post, complete a questionnaire, or Like someone's Facebook page. Basically, anything beyond filling out a very simple survey that says where to contact the entrant if they've won might be considered "pay to play" in some states, and therefore your giveaway would be illegal.
In social media, another common problem is the lack of transparency in most of these contests and giveaways. The companies don't require entrants to make it clear that they've posted comments or shared photos for a chance to win something valuable. Without any disclosure about the contest, people seeing these posts might view them as unbiased endorsements for the product or service.
"But No One Else is Following the Rules"
Once I've explained some of these general rules governing giveaways—they vary from state to state and social network to social network, so the presentations tend to be high-level—someone always asks "then why does Blogger X at BloggerX.com run giveaways all the time asking people to Like her on Facebook or comment on her blog for a chance to win?"
My answer is always the same: just because Blogger X does it doesn't make it legal. In fact, even if every blogger besides you ran giveaways that way, all those giveaways would still be against the law.
Why does this matter? Because, sooner or later, the law catches up. Justice can be slow, but once people have gotten complacent about breaking the law, it tends to catch up in a hurry and bite unsuspecting people in places they'd rather not be bitten.
Accessories retailer Cole Haan received a warning letter from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) after they asked people to enter a contest by creating a Pinterest board called "Wandering Sole," then pin 5 photos using the hashtag #wanderingsoles.
Cole Haan did not require people to disclose that their pinboards and posts posts were an entry to win a $1,000 shopping spree. In the FTC's view, this made the hundreds of Pinterest posts hashtagged #wanderingsoles into undisclosed endorsements.
Because the FTC had never publicly addressed social media contests this way before, they did not fine Cole Haan, but now that they've clarified their standards regarding social media contests, brands and bloggers can no longer claim ignorance. This will make it easier for the agency to fine the next company or influencer that gets it wrong.
Consequently, the fact that "everyone else is doing it" is unlikely to improve your odds if you're singled out by the FTC for an enforcement action.
No room for excuses
Think about it: if you get pulled over for speeding and tell the officer "but everyone's doing 80," what you're really saying is "you're doing a lousy job enforcing the speed limit." Pointing that out is not likely to gain you any leniency!
Some people are confident that they will never be singled out by the FTC, given the thousands of illegal giveaways taking place. There is some truth to this: you might "hide in the crowd" for a while, but eventually somebody will take issue with you for some reason—whether or not that reason is legitimately based on concerns about the legality of your contests—and they might just file a complaint with the FTC requesting that they investigate you.
Unfortunately, given how competitive bloggers and influencers get, this type of complaint is well within the realm of possibility and the brands that conduct blogger outreach and influence marketing can find themselves caught in the crossfire.
Instead of focusing on what "everyone else" is getting away with, turn your attention to innovating in the social media space. Create contests based on merit that are fun, engaging, and legal. Create lasting relationships with your audience by inviting them to participate in a meaningful way (rather than just "Liking" your Facebook page or Instagram post).
Tips for Keeping it Legal
1. Run contests, not giveaways. Selecting the winner based on talent, creativity, humor or some other factor removes your promotion from the "giveaway" territory.
2. Use "Void Where Prohibited" and "No Purchase Necessary." Void where prohibited" means that anywhere your promotion would be illegal, people are ineligible to win. "No purchase necessary" is a way to avoid turning your giveaway into an illegal lottery by allowing people to enter who haven't bought anything, completed your survey, liked your Facebook page, etc.
This is why you'll often see fine print in the giveaway terms and conditions instructing people to mail a 3×5″ card with their mailing address to an address in Dover, Delaware (or wherever), to be entered into the giveaway.
3. Encourage disclosure. Require people participating in your contest or giveaway to mention that the posts they create, the comments they make, or the content they share is part of a promotion, and that they're posting for a chance to win.
Stay resolute, even in the face of seemingly everyone else doing things wrong. When the law comes to town, your nose will be clean, and you'll have built trust with your audience in the meantime. As a bonus, you'll also save money on legal fees, since you won't have to defend against an FTC enforcement action.

How to Get into Hot Water With Mobile Marketing
Mar 12th
By Kerry Gorgone, {grow} Contributing Columnist
Few channels offer better access to your audience than mobile: 75% of Americans admit to bringing their mobile device with them to the bathroom! Talk about a captive audience. In their eagerness to take advantage of mobile, however, some marketers have gone a bit too far, disregarding certain best practices and legal requirements.
Here are some ways to invite a lawsuit if you're engaging in mobile marketing.
Text your entire customer database, whether or not they've agreed to receive mobile messages from you.
All mobile marketing communication must be opt-in. For instance, if you plan to use geo-targeting, mobile messaging, or push notifications, you need to get the recipient's express WRITTEN permission beforehand (an opt-in).
Provide people with the information to opt in when you send emails, when you advertise in traditional channels like print, radio and television, and also when you post to your company's social networks or website. You might also consider targeted banner ads. However you do it, get people to opt-in.
Jiffy Lube was fined $47 million because they had not obtained prior consent before texting 2.3 million customers. They'd pulled cell phone numbers from their invoices, then texted customers who hadn't opted in. If you want to hemorrhage money, try this approach. $47 million is a lot of oil changes.
Text people to ask if they want to start receiving your text messages.
Sending people a text message to ask if they want to receive text messages is like saying "Can I ask you a question?" Didn't really give them a chance, did you? They need to opt in before ever receiving a single mobile message from you.
Don't include a way to opt out. Your messages are so awesome, why would they want to?
Burying the opt out information is a surefire way to get into legal trouble. Marketers should carefully manage the subscriptions of people who've opted into your mobile messages. If they unsubscribe, you immediately remove them from your mobile notifications.
Buy lists of phone numbers for mobile marketing.
This comes back to the requirement that people opt in. "Opt in" means the recipient has agreed in writing to receive mobile messages specifically from you, not a third party. If you want to stay on the right side of the law, make sure that you've created your own list of people who've opted in to receiving mobile messages from you.
Post advertising claims without disclosing important things about them. Like that they're advertising.
The FTC is super serious about this one. Disclosures must be included, even on small screens. Moreover, they need to be placed so that people cannot spend any money or take any other important action without seeing them. If you wrote a glowing review of a resort, and fail to mention that your trip was sponsored by the resort owners, a an upset reader (or a competing blogger) might just report you to the FTC!
The 4 P's of FTC Disclosure:
- Placement (Place disclosures near the claim they're qualifying.)
- Proximity (Users shouldn't have to scroll or zoom to see disclosure)
- Prominence (Make it pop.)
- Presentation Order (Make it "unavoidable" that consumers see disclosure before they can "Add to Shopping Cart")
Account for different settings, as well as responsive web design, and if you're not looking for trouble, remember that space-constrained ads must still be in compliance. If you can't fit disclosure on the platform, don't use it.
BONUS POINTS: Don't check your analytics to see if anyone reads the disclosures you did post.
Beyond having to make disclosures, the FTC requires that you monitor analytics to make sure people are reading them. If they're not, you need to figure out why and fix the issue, unless you want legal headaches, in which case, don't worry about it.
Every brand loves pouring their hard earned revenue into a legal defense fund, but why get into trouble when it's so easy to avoid it? The Mobile Marketing Association has rich resources available on best practices for marketers:
Study up before blasting your list with text messages. Or don't: that will give me something to write about next time!

Sued in Six Seconds: Avoiding the Entanglements of Twitter's Vine
Feb 13th
By Kerry Gorgone, Contributing {grow} Columnist
Six seconds (or six and a half, for the purists among us) hardly seems long enough to convey anything of substance, and yet Vine — Twitter's new video sharing service — is catching on fast. Maybe it's not surprising. Six seconds of Super Bowl advertising time would cost $800,000, so clearly time is valuable!
For those who haven't tried it yet, Vine enables users to capture six seconds of live video (uploading from the camera roll is not allowed): no editing, no adding titles or a soundtrack, just sharing.
At first, I didn't see the point of the service, but Ann Handley convinced me it was worth trying, and as soon as I did, it captured my attention. I had been focused on seconds, rather than moments, and each moment offers endless possibilities.
Vine offers marketers a chance to engage their prospects in a fun new way, but there's also the risk of legal liability anytime you upload content to a social network. Here are some tips on how to Vine responsibly.
- Create your own content. Vine's requirements make this rule relatively easy to obey, but some people "vine" clips of movies they're watching or pieces of art they're viewing at a museum. Showing other people's copyrighted works (even for six seconds or less) could result in a lawsuit, although a takedown notice is more likely. Not worth it: you can come up with six seconds of video content.
- Pay attention to sound as well as video. It's easy to focus on the visual element, but listen while you record. Are you picking up snippets of highly personal conversations, or copyrighted music? The best course of action is to create Vine videos in a controlled environment, so you can avoid unintentionally capturing sensitive information or copyrighted audio works.
- Vine strangers (especially children) with caution. For companies especially, this is important: model releases are required when using someone's likeness for marketing, whether you're using still images, full-length videos, or six-second Vines. Consumer users should try and frame their Vine videos so that only consenting adults are recognizable.Parents can show their own children, if they choose, but be sensitive to child protection laws: an innocent bath-time video could be construed as child pornography under federal law.
- Avoid showing private information about others. This tip goes more to good manners than legal obligation, but it is possible to create a video that would constitute invasion of privacy under many states' laws.Be considerate: don't shoot through people's windows (obviously), but also take care not to capture people's identifying information, or conversations in which people discuss medical treatment or other sensitive matters.
- Keep it positive. Don't depict others in a misleading or negative light, or you might find yourself sued for defamation. Truth is a defense, and I fully support freedom of speech, but you only get to assert a defense once you've been sued. Being sued is costly and inconvenient: in most instances, the satisfaction of posting something nasty evaporates when the summons arrives.
- Think before showing trademarks. Generally speaking, it's fine to show a trademark in a non-commercial video so long as the viewer won't be confused into thinking that the trademark owner endorses your content (or that you are the trademark owner).Companies and brands using Vine need to be more scrupulous about showing others' trademarks. If a company were to take issue with how their brand or product was depicted, you could find yourself involved in some legal wrangling involving demand letters or worse.Sometimes, a brand or label is the entire point of your video, but the safest course of action is to keep things generic.
- Don't Drive and Vine!
Like Pinterest, Instagram and YouTube, Vine gives marketers access to a powerful visual medium that people love using, but any new medium poses some risk. Following these simple rules will help to keep you out of the legal jungle.

The endangered giant panda has Spanish ties, geologists have found. Fossilized remains of the bear's ancient relative, Agriarctos beatrix, suggest that the newly discovered species roamed the Zaragoza province in Spain about 11 million years ago.
"This kind of bear was small, even smaller than the Malayan sun bear, the smallest found today," paleobiologist Juan Abella of the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, who was part of the research team behind this discovery, said in a written statement.
Agriarctos beatrix would not have weighed more than 60 kilograms (about 130 pounds), the researchers said (sun bears can reach about 150 pounds). The panda relative would have had a dark coat with white patches in the chest, around the eyes, and possibly near the tail.
As a forest dweller, Agriarctos beatrix ate fruits and vegetables, similar to the sun bear. While the cause of extinction for this primitive bear remains undetermined, it faced competition from similar and larger species, Abella said.
Agriarctos beatrix isn't the only tiny relative to the giant panda. Ailuropoda microta, sometimes called the dwarf or pygmy panda, roamed parts of China about two million years ago.
Abella's research team published its findings in 2011 in the journal Estudios Geologicos.
This North American bird, which stood over 8 feet tall, would have had an enormous, axe-like beak.
This heavily-armored predator had the second most powerful bite of any fish.
The hornless rhinoceros-like creatures of this genus were the largest land mammals of all time.
Giant ground sloths of this genus were about the size of today's elephants. The megatherium only went extinct around 10,000 years ago (right around the time when humans started farming), and smaller relatives may have survived as late as the 16th century!
Richard Owen, director of London's Museum of Natural History, stands next to the largest of all moa. Moa, which originated in New Zealand, were flightless, and some were even wingless.
The Argentavis magnificens, an early relative of the Andean Condor, was the largest flying bird ever discovered.
These creatures, the largest marsupials that ever lived, roamed Australia. Some scientists have suggested that stories of the supernatural 'bunyip' creature in Aboriginal folklore could be based on diprotodonts.
These distant relatives of modern elephants had an imposing appearance, with strange, downward-curving tusks and heights of up to 16 feet at the shoulder.
The fearsome Liopleuredon, right, had a jaw nearly ten feet long. The Leedsichthys, left, was a bony fish that may have been even larger than it looked; some estimates put its maximum length at 53 feet. Correction: An earlier version of this slide had the positions of the Liopleuredon and Leedsichthys reversed.

Cohen is a certified public accountant who most recently worked for Time Warner Cable. His salary will be $52,147.
The addition of another staff member to the Comptroller/HR office sparked a discussion over the necessity of office renovations to expand this space.
Dam inspections will cost town
The Town Board voted unanimously to retain the services of Clough Harbour Associates to the estimated tune of $149,500 to complete a new state-mandated dam safety inspection.
The Department of Environmental Conservation requirement must be fulfilled by August 2012. The town owns four dams.
Town Engineer Paul Penman said the water department makes a concerted effort to keep the dams in good shape.
"If we find problems there could be additional work to this. We're hopeful they'll be in compliance," he said.
He also said town staff would be used for the study whenever possible, which could reduce the cost of the inspection. The money will come out of the water fund's operating budget.
Warren Harris of CHA confirmed there are no known grant opportunities for the inspections.
"It's essentially an unfunded mandate," Harris said.

Unheralded Architect of the Carolina Panthers
hepcat replied to CPantherKing's topic in Carolina PanthersIt's almost as if he spent too much time researching his top picks. Like in 2011, they spent ALL their energy researching Cam and the guys at the top of the draft. They don't have anyone else from 2011 on the roster. It paid off though, without Cam this team is no where.
hepcat liked a post in a topic: Unheralded Architect of the Carolina Panthers
Finally, an episode of Inside the NFL that doesn't suck
hepcat replied to PanthersATL's topic in Carolina PanthersFunny thing is, that guy was a d-lineman and Cam was towering over him
Frank Alexander - Suspended for 1 year
hepcat replied to Nick_81's topic in Carolina Panthersfuging BULLSHIT that Frank gets suspended for smoking some weed, but Greg Hardy beats a woman half to death and we have to play him on Thanksgiving. F-u-c-k-i-n-g B-u-l-l-s-h-i-t.
Yea...giving respect to a franchise that has won 10 or more games for 13 straight seasons is "cowardice"
Like he said in the Power Rankings, they're the champs. They haven't lost a game. Doesn't matter how they've looked, they've won big, they've won ugly. So have the Panthers. We're the new kids on the block compared to them. Gotta earn it.
The Patriots are the #1 team as long as they are undefeated, really no question there.
un-Official What are Cowgirls fans saying
hepcat replied to 15's topic in Carolina PanthersWe need to have a "What are [Insert Team] fans saying AFTER the Panthers destroyed, demoralized, and humiliated, them?"
Horton suspended 4 games
hepcat replied to jdpanther5's topic in Carolina PanthersDid Hill get dinged before his injury? It seems like if he was smoking weed or using PEDs while rehabbing, it's really not something worth suspending a guy over...just my opinion though. The NFL just gets stricter and stricter.
Dear Greg Hardy, memos from Panther fans (I know you will be looking at the Huddle this week)
hepcat replied to Hotsauce's topic in Carolina PanthersDear Greg, It is better to be silent and thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt. Too late for you though.
We're a nameless, faceless opponent - Hardy
hepcat replied to OBXPantha's topic in Carolina PanthersI am seriously starting to wonder if Greg has a mental disability. Maybe from years of football hits or he was born with it. One thing is for sure, he got the retard strength
Cam gets no respect: In comic form, from reddit.
hepcat replied to Pox 08's topic in Carolina PanthersHe punched a feral cat in the face? The last black guy that assaulted an animal got arrested. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/video-thug-kicks-cat-20-3503418
Conor Orr...
hepcat replied to frash.exe's topic in Carolina PanthersY'all need to check out Mike Golic over on the ESPN picks. Dude has picked the Texans, Saints, Seahawks, Packers, and now Redskins to beat us. Almost everyone else on ESPN only picked against us @Seattle and vs Green Bay. Golic is one of the biggest silent haters.
Adam Schein finally admits he was wrong about Newton/Rivera...
hepcat replied to 15's topic in Carolina PanthersI've gotta give it to Prisco. He ranked the Panthers at 10 in his preseason power rankings and spoke highly of the Panthers all season. The person I hate the most is the that fool Jim Folsom who said Timmy The Golden Calf of Bristol would be a better QB than Cam and just generally appears to be a racist piece of poo. We can also always hate Rosemary Plorin.
Oh USAToday...
hepcat replied to dldove77's topic in Carolina PanthersI should stop being surprised by retarded articles written by low IQ mouth breathers that haven't watched a single Panthers game

I completely agree if the rams play like they did in the 4th quarter we win easy.
17-6 rams
Is that going to be the first NFL game that is blacked out out in both markets? :p
The return of Torry Holt!
It will be a close game, i think the main thing is we have to reduce the amount of turnovers and penalties, and keep MJD from breaking any long runs
I hope you're right Av. ...and it's going to happen sooner or later, might as well be next week. This team isn't getting beat in as much as it's beating itself. Too many dumb penalties, too many dumb turnovers. Today was a perfect example. Two turnovers in the redzone, a fumble return for 6.
They continued to play hard even to the end, and sooner or later, that effort will pay off.
well you could say weve beaten two teams already this year..sadly it was ourselves we beat on both occassions..:|
i do agree tho..next week is definately a game we can win..if we can keep the turnovers to a minimum..say 1 (probably unrealistic to expect none) then i think we will win. just seems that their strengths are something we are suited to cope with..and well..their D dont look nothing like it used to.
I agree Av. I said it right after the game.
We looked much better today. There's no question we are getting better.
If we can just avoid the turnovers, we will beat Jacksonville. For the first time this season, I truly believe we will win.
Oh boy! Finally! Can we TiVo life so that we can fast forward to next Sunday right now?
I hope youre right...
If Boller starts, we lose.
If Bulger starts, we have a lesser chance of losing.
I know that to be a Ram fan these days you need to be an eternal optimist, but c'mon. They have shown little attention to detail this season, resulting in stupid penalties and turnovers that end every game before it starts. This is a coaching issue and not a talent issue. I saw little in the game versus Minn to make me believe the Rams are competent enough to win a close game. They are simply terrible.
This time, the turnovers and penalties were THE difference this time. The offense moved the ball well (finally), winning the time of possession battle. There were MULTIPLE sustained drives. When was the last time we were able to say that? They are getting better, and today was a huge step up.
Here's a fun stat: The same Squawks that blanked the Rams 28-0 just pitched another shutout to our next opponent 41-0.
yeah, i said this awhile ago, we match up pretty well with them. in other words, they just aren't that good. if the o-line protects like they did today and we don't fumble in the redzone like 4 times or whatever we should win this game.
If we can stop shooting outself in the foot over and over and over, the Rams will win that game, and win by 10+.
We are not good enough where we can get away with making a stupid penalty every now and then and turning the ball over. However I feel the team can win as long as they avoid those dumb mistakes.
I think you might be right Av. This is our best chance for a win so far for sure, Jacksonville are just not very good, I don't even think the Seahawks are that good (Hasselbeck was brilliant last night though) and look how that game went - I like our chances against them.
Boy do we ever need this win - I don't think any one of us care about losing as many as possible in order to improve our draft position or any of that right now. We NEED a win. BAD. Losing only breeds more losing, let's snap that ugly streak of 14 or whatever it is before we get the record for consecutive losses.
All I care about this week is getting a win!

System cameras and young children don't go together. They lack the motor skills and unless they're of an unusually boffinish persuasion, the kick is getting the pictures, not twiddling with knobs and dials. They also get fingers on the lens all the time, so good glass isn't a great idea. I'd go for a 1990s P&S, there are lots of them and they cost buttons, and have fun developing the film afterwards. Buy an old 35mm enlarger and take over the bathroom one night a week and show them the magic of the development trays.
Get them an SLR when they're older, something like a Canon AT-1, light to carry, fully manual and with batteries you can still buy and lenses that won't break the bank.

Calvin by vitorcafaggiWatch

A tribute to Calvin and Hobbes
Brilliant collage of all Calvin's different alter-egos. You show enough of each to be easily recognizable without overcrowding the picture, while your rendition of our favorite lad is unique without being too different from what we all know and love. 10/10.
Dude, I like the spaceman spiff dude!
This is perfect! Calvin looks so happy.
Cute...Calvin's face looks so preciousxD
Ya, I often sit in class and think about stuff like that
I love this! It really captures their adventures together.
I love calvin and hobbes and i always will.This picture u did of them is woderful. Brings back childhood memories..
awww... calvin reminds my of my little kid sister. so cute! must go hug her now!!
Wonderfully done I\d say.
You did my childhood proud. Thank you.
I wish I had Calvin's imagination
Not a bad tribute.

I salute you for this masterpiece, sir!
Fantastic detail. ^_^
His expression gives me this really warm fuzzy feeling

Incrível... Captou toda a magia da tirinha *-*
This is amazing!
Now that's a keeper
Really, really adorable. A great tribute, I love it. Great job.
OOOHHH~~~ Love this comic so much
Absolutely love this! A perspective on the comic series that truly works well. The series was a recommendation from my sis and since then I couldn't stop trying to find more and more collections. Great work!
And what an excellent tribute it is! I'm a huge Calvin & Hobbes fan, and this definitely does the comics justice. Well done!
...Oh... yeah...
The real comic master duo. Grew up with those two and never looked back. Very nice tribute. ^^
The real comic master duo. Grew up with those two and never looked back. Very nice tribute. ^^
Haha, nice excerpts from all the stories. And great coloring.
Awesome! Calvin & Hobbes was and still is one of my favorite comic strips! Cool tribute.
Magnificent! Unbelieveable how you made the best strip figure ever into a realistic human. And Hobbes is also so unbelieveable nice drawn, I can't stop watching it. And as Orna does, I also feel like searching some of my old comic books. Thanks allot for the inspiration and great submission!
This is a wonderful tribute; the memories and the nostalgia are enough for me to pull out the old comic books... It's really a beautiful piece.
A tribute worthy of a tribute in itself.
Ah, memories.
Ah, memories.

Two days after showing their fall collection at New York Fashion Week, Rodarte designers Kate and Laura Mulleavy hosted an intimate breakfast at the Mandarin Oriental, the audience filled with plenty of chatty journalists eager to ask the duo just about everything. ("How can you make an Australian inspired collection when you've never been to Australia?"; "Who are you dressing for the Oscars?"; "What exactly was George Lucas doing sitting in the front row of your fashion show?")
"Everyone's been asking us about that!" Kate said. (Considering Rodarte's work on Natalie Portman's Black Swan costumes, it's only natural that a big screen partnership might be looming.) "All of our friends want to know when we're collaborating with George Lucas on a film, and we're like, 'No, we're just huge Star Wars fans.'"
As for the clothes that Lucas came to see on Tuesday, the sisters' fall collection was Australian-inspired, featuring shearling coats, cargo pants and aboriginal printed dresses. "We didn't need to go to Australia to do an Australian-inspired collection," Laura said. Once they catch a spark of inspiration, the sisters research it so meticulously that they probably end up with a fuller understanding of it (location, film, time period, whatever) than many seasoned experts.
So can we expect to see those fall collection gowns on anyone at the upcoming Oscars? "You never know until the last minute, when you actually see them walk out in your dress," Laura said, keeping mum.
But regardless of which celebrities choose Rodarte for that night— and we're sure there will be several— the sisters have much to celebrate. They launched footwear this season (clear Plexiglas heels with stripes of sand art inside, so cool), and they're designing costumes for an upcoming opera ("one of [their] biggest projects to date").
Beyond counting "visionary" George Lucas as a fan, "we both have fashion week birthdays," said Laura. While no one asked the girls what was on their birthday wish lists, we know one thing that's on ours: that shearling coat. It's amazing, right?

2002 Acura RL Sedan 3.5 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)
I purchased my 02 RL used with 36,000 miles and now have over 140,000. No issues except for regular maintenance. Have seen others with over 200,000 miles with no problems. I drive a mix of city and highway and this car is very predictable and secure. Very low cost of ownership. It has a logic layout to the controls. Although not as "sporty" has others in this class, it has one of the best rides out there; smooth and quiet.
Seats, stereo, ride
5 speed, gas mileage
I owned a Legend, then a 97 RL, and now the 02 RL which I bought in 06 with about 38000 miles on it. It now has 122,000 miles and has been trouble free except for the alarm actuator. It has been maintained according to the manual, mostly by the dealer, whose prices are competitive but whose service is better. He is not competitive on major expenses like timing belt changes. The car is comfortable to ride in, is quiet, and feels safe. It handles most of Ohio's snow and ice as long as the tires are newer. The navigation system is helpful. I use mid-range gas with no problem. (It's what the dealer uses.) I prefer this body style over the 05 and would have replaced this car but for the style.
Interior size, ergonomics, seat adjustability, the navigation system. The trunk is a good size, easily holds several sets of golf clubs.
Redesign the current model to look more like the original, i.e., like this one.
We have owned the 2002 Acura RL since June 2001 - 2nd Acura and absolutely the best car purchases we have ever made. The Acura RL is a large performance luxury sedan, and it rides and handles wonderfully. The acceleration is brisk, the handling rock-solid and the build-quality is absolutely first-rate. Routine maintenance is all this car has needed in last 7+ years - still has original disc brakes at 78K miles, and dealer says they have 40% wear left. Based on Acura's reputation and our experience, I expect this car to last another 7+ years before I can justify replacing it. No regrets, no complaints... every one should be so lucky to own a 2002 Acura RL.
Tracks like it is on rails, stops quickly and sure-footed - never slips or fish-tails. Build quality is best in class. Classic luxury sedan styling. Bose sound system rocks!!
More seat adjustments on passenger seat, with lumbar support over there also.
It is my second Acura. First 2 dr. legend made to 232K mi without any major hiccups. This one done well till 75k so far. I bought it preowned with 19K 3 years ago. Great highway cruiser, and comfortable one. Build quality - Honda at it's best. Extremely low maintenance car, especially for the large luxury segment. Mileage is still 18 city and 24 highway on premium gas. Brakes lasted 56k mi front and 72kmi rear. Highly recommend!
Comfort, ride and handling (for the front driver)
Too late. Honda already made them!
I have enjoyed this comfortable car. It always starts and has never conked out on me while driving on the road. I noticed that holding to the speed limit, especially 55 mph the gas mileage approaches 30 mpg. In the winter, around town I expect 20-25 mpg. I drive with a light foot. I didn't think I wanted a sunroof, but have come to enjoy it, even in winter--opening it on a sunny day with the seat heat and feet heat set high. The antilock brakes have saved me from fender benders when I didn't even realize it was slippery. It handles a bit loose, like a boat, not a bullet, but feels very solid and the engine never feels strained.
anti lock brakes, heated seats, sun roof, plenty of power
The driver's seat leather is beginning to tear. A surprise because I had an 88 Acura for 14 years with no such problems. The automatic transmission has a simulated manual mode -unnecessary- and is governed by a computer that does not permit true down shifting or upshifting in slippery conditions.

Spaceballs Fall From The Heavens 2011 HD
- Uploaded by Stephenhannard on Dec 28, 2011
- Views: 252
A large metallic ball has fallen out of the sky on a remote grassland in Namibia, prompting baffled authorities to contact NASA and the European space agency. The hollow ball with a circumference of 1.1 metres was found near a village in the north of the country some 750km from the capital, Windhoek, according to police forensics director Paul Ludik. Locals had heard several small explosions a few days beforehand, he said. With a diameter of 35cm, the ball has a rough surface and appears to consist of "two halves welded together". It was made of a "metal alloy known to man" and weighed six kilograms, said Ludik. It was found 18 metres from its landing spot, a hole 33 centimetres deep and 3.8 metres wide. Several such balls have dropped in southern Africa, Australia and Latin America in the past 20 years, authorities found in an internet search. The sphere was discovered mid-November, but authorities first did tests before announcing the find. Police deputy inspector-general Vilho Hifindaka concluded the sphere did not pose any danger. "It is not an explosive device, but rather hollow, but we had to investigate all this first," he said. ADG Facebook: www.facebook.com Follow ADG on Twitter: twitter.com

UPDATE: After finally getting a chance to run several rounds through the Sig P238 (though hardly enough to call it a "REVIEW"), I can finally lay to rest some of my speculation. First off it's super smooth. Second, for being a single action the trigger was much heavier than I anticipated. Third, this thing is TINY in the hand, like smaller than Ruger LCP tiny. Fourth, out of all the pocket guns I've fired this one is by far the most accurate. It was a piece of cake to keep a softball sized group at 30 feet which is something special from a gun with a barrel barely longer than 2″. Now with all of this taken into consideration, I might really have to consider the new Sig P938 9mm model for a summer CCW piece.
Pocket pistols have been ruling the world lately. At SHOT Show 2012 we saw the introduction of the new Kimber Micro CDP .380, several new Sig P238 renditions (LOVED the Desert, but will get to that later), and I even got to shoot the rereleased Cold Mustang Pocketlite .380 on Media Day at the Range. Easily the most accurate ultra compact pocket pistol I've ever fired as long as I did my part.
One of my predictions for SHOT Show 2012 was that Smith & Wesson would reintroduce their Bodyguard .380 pistol in a 9mm version. In fact I loved the first one so much I was really hoping to have one in a 9mm, whatever that would take or look like. I don't determine the science, I just shoot the things.
Well while S&W didn't come through with a 9mm version of their Bodyguard (they've been dealing with moving TC to Springfield, MASS and PR for their new Dimension, AND the .300 Whisper hype), Sig Sauer came through with a 9mm Luger version of there hyper popular P238 pocket 1911. These guns are really too small for a grip safety to be 100% 1911, but for people who prefer a single action with a safety as opposed to the Double Action Only Keltec P3AT, Ruger LCP, and S&W Bodyguard and others, the Sig P238 has been a big hit. You'll see in all the detailed comparison pics that the P938 is different from its older but smaller brother in just a few ways. The slide and barrel are longer, there is full checkering (instead of just vertical serrations) on the front and backstraps and the the grip is about 1/4″ deeper than the P238. It's too bad Sig didn't have this little guy at range day or I'd surely have video of laying some steel to waste. Finally the P938 has an external extractor compared to the P238's interior model. Other than that it's the same gun. I'm a little surprised the folks at Sig didn't extend the grip to be a little longer and make it feel a little more proportional. Being somewhat deeper than the original but not any longer in grip length it feels a little weird. But I'll shut up and let the pictures do the talking.
One last thing. The P938 is shown on the right side of every picture and both the P238 and P938 are the Blackwood models. For comparison's sake.

Joseph says:
This little 9mm has a really good chance of becoming my next carry handgun.
I've been looking for something with a little more firepower and better sights than my S&W 442 J-frame revolver.
Thanks a bunch for your SHOT Show coverage!
I saw this pistol on other sites SHOT Show coverage, but didn't realize it was a 9mm until just now
Ebbs says:
Really? No one else mentioned it in a 9mm? That's the most remarkable part about it. Makes it a must have especially beating the price of the Kimber Solo (not to mention their Solo CDP) and priced nearly the same as their own Sig P290 which is DAO.
Joseph says:
It looks so similar to the 380 ACP P238 that I never took a second look and assumed it was another model of the P238. The way you titled this post and the comparison turned the light bulb on
"ohhh it's a 9mm and not a 380 ACP. Neat!"

Wife has a P238HD and absolutely loves it. I've ordered another one for my oldest daughter and am waiting for my 938 to come in as well, can't wait!
Dash says:
They should round of the corners of the muzzle.
Wes says:
I had the P238 with a finger extender and a Hogue rubber grip with finger groves and it was good for my larger hands. The P938 with the same setup will be close to perfect. I found the P238 to be very accurate with that setup and expect the P938 to be the same. I carry a Kahr MK9 now and it is a little larger and heavier than the P938 and price wise they both beat the new Kimber 9mm, though, I think if I could I'd have the Kimber. The Kimber is both lighter than the MK9 and the right size for my hands. I've not heard many speak of the right size, feel and weight of a pistol and its effects on accuracy, but to me it is essential. There are so many choices now for CCW in price, size and weight that shopping for the right handgun is great fun. I think Sig definitely has a winner in the P938.
