When we heard that the Technology For Marketing & Advertising event was taking place in London this week, we immediately cleared our schedule (well, we freed up our Wednesday afternoon duties at least) for this golden opportunity.
Packed with an impressive exhibitors list and education programme featuring some of technology's leading brands, TFMA offers the chance for like-minded tech marketers to pick the brains of industry experts as well as the chance to sample the latest products and services.
But with only an afternoon to cram in as much knowledge as possible, it was time for us to pick up our passes, avoid the temptation of the free popcorn and candy floss, find our designated seminar (not necessarily in that order) and learn from the best – so without further ado, here's the highlights from our time at TFMA:
The Role Of Mobile In Your Multi-Screen Strategy (presented by Raja Saggi, Head of B2B Marketing, Google)
Outlining the agenda for this seminar, Raja covered three main points:
- Optimising for the Multi-Screen Consumer
- Measuring for Success
- Mobile Site Showcase.
We live in a world that is more mobile-centric than ever, with smartphone usage doubling in two years to the tune of over 60 per cent. People use their smartphone everywhere: 78 per cent use it on the go, 80 per cent at work and 82 per cent in stores. And guess what? We're so dependent on our mobiles that 67 per cent never leave the house without it!
Raja also points out what we use our mobiles to shop for:
At this rate, the need for mobile and tablet will soon exceed desktop usage – but the question is, how will it do that? Will desktop traffic decrease or will desktop growth decelerate? Raja highlights that desktop conversion rates are still going up, as users often come to desktop when they are ready to make their final purchase. However, not being found on mobile risks not being looked for on desktop and delivering users to a competitor.
Interestingly enough, Raja remarks the fact that "people are using their mobiles far more often to do their research than for the final click and buy". One slide in particular details 'A New Way To Think About Usability: "The Mobile 7"':
- Homepage & Navigation. Bounce rate needs to be at a minimal, while the most popular links should be moved to the main screen
- Landing Pages. Time spent on page: on desktop the answer is almost always long, on mobile short
- On-Site Search. Search is hugely popular on mobiles – but bear in mind, people look for different things on mobiles than desktops
- Product/Offer Pages. While not all conversions on mobile are transactional, many are still hugely valuable – so ensure you demonstrate user intent to engage with your brand more deeply. Phone calls, store lookups, app downloads, wishlist additions are all examples of non-transactional conversions
- Registration, Checkout & Conversion. Use Google Analytics to track where your traffic is heading or 'leaking' to note any problems during this process (e.g. do any error messages appear?)
- Accommodating Multi-screen & Multi-channel experiences. Be aware of different factors such as lead generation, calls to business and user engagement affecting the different platform experiences (did you know that 15,000 people clicked 'Get Directions' from your mobile ads between 4/2/2014 and 5/2/2014?)
- Mobile Hygiene. Speed matters – even more on mobile!
Rounding up the session, Raja talked about well-known brands who were doing well with these different factors – from the landing page of rentalcars.com offering a clean page with 'city' pre-populated based on search query to the Crate and Barrel site giving customers the chance to check if a product is available in-store as well as their nearest store locator.
Lastly, Raja left us with these following actions – so, how many of you will be implementing Google's Mobile 7?
Data: The Ugly Baby Of Multi-Channel Personalisation (presented by Matthew Kelleher, COO, RedEye)
Before the presentation even started, we had a VERY good feeling about it – there's just something about a bag of sweets that really ignites our interest in tech marketing (as we're sure we can all agree on):
Kelleher started his speech with a quote he found on Marketing Week (24th February 2015):
"Why aren't more marketers using personalisation? A large number of marketers have no strategy for personalising their communications even though it delivers clear returns."
Several businesses are realising the importance of data to drive more relevant and engaging communications – but how can clients deliver an effective omni-channel experience? He details that before even considering the information needed to develop an effective multi-channel personalisation strategy, the first task is to review the building blocks of that strategy:
- Data Collection
- Customer Data Platform (CDP)
- Segmentation and Analytics
- Content
- Automation
- Creating the 'Customer Experience'
Above all, data analytics is absolutely crucial in "delivering insights and actionable information and that predictive analytics are the goal for forward planning businesses."
So where do we get our data from?
- Web
- In-Store
- Loyalty Cards
- Contextual Data
- Transactions
- Microsites
- Call Centre
- Syndicated or 3rd Party
- Channels
Kelleher presents an example of a typical shopping journey using cross device tracking:
Once you've recognised the available data that you'll be implementing in your multi-channel personalisation strategy, the next step is to complete your data strategy. Create a map detailing your marketing needs and goals with your available data, zone in on any gaps in that data and look for ways to fill these gaps. Then you'll need to identify where to store this data in a way that can be readily available to your channels, as well as working out how you can enable analytics to gain value from your information:
"Data is the starting line and the fuel for your strategy, without data there is no personalisation."
What we learnt
It's fair to say we learnt many a valuable lesson during our brief time at TFMA – from the important variables of conducting effective mobile and desktop experiences to understanding the significance of an in-depth assessment of data in multi-channel personalisation. However, we also learnt that a bag of free sweets is critical in keeping sugar levels up – and we'll definitely be going back next year for more (seminars, and maybe sweets).

In general, tumors of the major salivary glands are staged according to size, extraparenchymal extension, lymph node involvement (in parotid tumors, whether or not the facial nerve is involved), and presence of metastases.[1,2,3,4] Tumors arising in the minor salivary glands are staged according to the anatomic site of origin (e.g., oral cavity and sinuses).
Clinical stage, particularly tumor size, may be the critical factor to determine the outcome of salivary gland cancer and may be more important than histologic grade.[5,6] Diagnostic imaging studies may be used in staging. With excellent spatial resolution and superior soft tissue contrast, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers advantages over computed tomographic scanning in the detection and localization of head and neck tumors. Overall, MRI is the preferred modality for evaluation of suspected neoplasms of the salivary glands.[7]
Definitions of TNM
The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) has designated staging by TNM classification to define salivary gland cancer.[5]
Table 1. Primary Tumor (T)a
|a Reprinted with permission from AJCC: Major salivary glands (parotid, submandibular, and sublingual) . In: Edge SB, Byrd DR, Compton CC, et al., eds.: AJCC Cancer Staging Manual. 7th ed. New York, NY: Springer, 2010, pp 79-86.
|b Extraparenchymal extension is clinical or macroscopic evidence of invasion of soft tissues. Microscopic evidence alone does not constitute extraparenchymal extension for classification purposes.
|Primary tumor cannot be assessed.
|No evidence of primary tumor.
|Tumor ≤2 cm in greatest dimension without extraparenchymal extension.b
|Tumor >2 cm but ≤4 cm in greatest dimension without extraparenchymal extension.b
|Tumor >4 cm and/or tumor having extraparenchymal extension.b
|Moderately advanced disease.
|Tumor invades skin, mandible, ear canal, and/or facial nerve.
|Very advanced disease.
|Tumor invades skull base and/or pterygoid plates and/or encases carotid artery.

PICTURES: Wow! Megan Fox Shows Off Slim Bod on First Red Carpet Post-Baby
Fox-ier than ever!
Although she's been out and about since the Sept. 27 birth of her first child, son Noah, Megan Fox hit her first official red carpet Friday Dec. 7 at March Of Dimes' Celebration Of Babies at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
And the This Is 40 bombshell did not disappoint -- looking slim, relaxed and radiant with fresh-faced makeup, Fox beamed in a form-fitting, ivory-toned lace dress with peekaboo details that revealed black lingerie beneath.
PHOTOS: Megan's body through the years
Inside the bash, the 26-year-old star and husband Brian Austin Green bonded with another Hollywood mom: Reese Witherspoon, whose son Tennessee, as it happens, was born on the exact same day as Noah!
Despite her sensational appearance on Friday, Fox told the UK's Daily Mirror that she's not focusing on honing her post-baby body.
PHOTOS: Megan's red carpet evolution
"I only gained 23 pounds when I was pregnant and I'm still 10 pounds heavier, but I don't want to kill myself trying to get back into shape because it's not a priority right now," she explained. "I'm too in love with Noah and I don't want to be away from him. I just want to be home."
PHOTOS: Megan and Brian over the years
Fox also told the paper that her days as a worldwide sex symbol may be over. "It changes your perspective about being overly sexual in a film when you have a baby. I'm going to be more cautious about choosing films because I'm already thinking about when he's in school and his friends are going to be showing him my photo shoots with me in a bikini and he's going to be horrified . . . So that will deter me from making some of the choices I made before."

I have a 1998 Lincon Mark lll LSC, I have replaced the battery every 6 months since I got it. At one point Walmart Tires Center told me that my altenator is frying the cells in my battery. Someone else said its the voltage regulator. Also I have finicky headlamps, sometimes all of them will work and then some times the passenger DIM light dosnt want to come on. I was told this is also a part of my battery charging system. Any ideas? Ive had the air ride suspension replaced on it at a legit garage and they said nothing about my starter or voltage regulator. I dont have an owners manual so how would I check to see if its the altenator or the voltage regulator?

The steering vectors are then used to form a linear combiner, to produce estimates of the signals. The authors derive an asymptotic expression for the upper bound on the quality of the estimated signal in terms of the output signal-to-interference ratio. Some insight into the achievable performance of such algorithms is obtained by numerical evaluation of the bound for two test cases of interest

fly spray in stalls?
Is it okay that i sprayed fly spray (ultra shield red) in my horses bedding and lower walls? or will she get it in her mouth when eating? there are so many flies in there!
Is she by herself in a shed or a large barn with others. Regardless, the darked you can make the building the flies will pretty much stay out. I hang heavy tarps over the doorway and cover the window on the outside.
she is in a stall by herself. i already sprayed it and thats why i was asking if it was okay.
i am mostly interested in finding out if it is bad that i did this and if it will bother more horse than what to do to keep flies out! thanks :)
it will be fine. just don't spray it on their food source
okay thanks for your info! i didnt spray it on her hay or anything, she didnt even have hay yet :p!
she did get hay in there a few minutes after i sprayed though. is that okay?
I wouldn't worry. I've sprayed them in their stalls plenty of times with no ill effects.

Development snapshot. No usable UI yet.
Changes since 8.x-3.0-unstable4:
Lots of new action and condition implementations, improved usage of the context system and even a minimal UI non-functional prototype. Still quite some stuff to do, see #2245015: [META] Rules 8.x Roadmap.

Changes since 7.x-2.7:
This release introduces Rules data processor plugins to modify condition/action parameter values. We also implemented auto-saving for actions that change data.
You can find more information about further plans and achieved goals in the roadmap.
Changes since 8.x-3.0-unstable2:
This release now uses the Context and ContextDefinition classes from Drupal core to implement parameter variables for Rules actions and conditions. It also includes a ProvidedContextPluginInterface to implement provided variables that are produced by an action or a condition.
Changes since 8.x-3.0-unstable1:
First unstable pre-alpha release of Rules for Drupal 8. This is not usable at all at the moment and is only intended as developer preview. The code mostly consists of bare bones classes with quite a few unit tests, but there is not much functionality implemented yet.
Changes since 7.x-2.6:
8.x development branch
experimental Drupal 8 code.
Changes since 7.x-2.5:

Hi there,
I've tried to find something about my problem - but up to now I haven't found any hints.

Could be something like this:
What could be the best solution to realize this?

Swing down, sweet chariot, stop, and let me ride
Lyric Meaning
This hook is sampled from the Parliament song "Mothership Connection" which borrows from a classic slave spiritual. Dre's song was released in the wake of the '92 South Central riots
So, this conveys the sense of wanting to get away, while not necessarily having the agency to get away ("Let me").
Dre, presumably because of his success represents that sort of messiah figure to the "niggas" and "bitches" asking for rides (or ways up outta there).
In a very interesting way, the terminology "Ride" could be dichotomous, illustrating also the propensity for violence which Compton is so associated with. As Dr.Dre is said to be quite deliberate in his production, the same "niggas" and "bitches saying.." are now representative of the legions of those living that life, "Let me Ride" now an acknowledgement, or celebration of the lifestyle.

The Conservatory Early Childhood Music Program is a sequential continuum of classes that allow each young child to develop at his or her own pace. Child-centered and based on active involvement in making and responding to music, progression through classes is determined by the child. Classes are designed to be repeated in order to reinforce musical concepts in the context of new songs, improvisations, and activities that offer challenge and variety. Group class registration occurs at the beginning of each semester via this website or by calling us at 651-224-2205.
Meet the faculty that will help to shape your child's musical skills.

6 p.m. AMC Theatres. $25 for digital projection, $40 for Imax. amctheatres.com
"The Dark Knight" Trilogy
AMC movie theatres will present screenings of Christopher Nolan's "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight" leading up to the midnight premiere of the third entry in the saga, "The Dark Knight Rises." Following "The Dark Knight," which many consider to be the greatest superhero movie ever, is a tall order for Nolan, and getting tickets to this special screening might be equally difficult for fans of the franchise. The entire show will run 8 hours and 45 minutes, so don't drink your soda too quickly.

Re: Captain America: The First Avenger-Review, Discuss, Grade, Sequel,
Just came back from seeing this despite the cold and thought it was awesome. It has surpassed "Iron Man" for me as my favorite Marvel Studio film. I'm not going to do a full or even brief review here but I did give this an A and almost was tempted to give it a full A+. It is my second favorite movie of the year after "X-Men:First Class". I thought Chris Evans was very impressive as Steve Rogers. Hugo Weaving was okay as Red Skull (he looked damn cool though). Hayley Atwell was stunning and charming as Peggy Carter. Sebastian Stan didn't have very much to do as Bucky in this movie but then again I wasn't expecting him in it a lot in the first place. I loved the period feel to the film, and Alan Silvestri's score was beautiful, among his best works in my opinion. I'll probably be seeing this one or two more times.

>Sonora / Tuolumne News, Sports, & Weather, Angels Camp, Twain Harte, Jamestown | Union Democrat
Each day, since mid-April, enough water to supply up to 80 households for a year has been pouring over the lip of Lyons Dam — a main source of drinking water for Tuolumne County.
This apparent waste is expected to continue until late-May — a painful irony given this year's record-book drought.
The reason for the spillage is simple, but the implications much more complex.
In short: There's not enough room to store the water gushing into Lyons.
The reservoir has a maximum capacity of only 5,500 acre-feet — about a third of the district's annual needs.
The water spilling over Lyons is mostly coming from Herring Creek. Herring is one of two waterways feeding Lyons and it is downstream of the main water-storage reservoir used by the TUD — Pinecrest Reservoir.
For the complete story, see the April 25, 2014, edition of The Union Democrat.

text: paranoiaAgent18Threads: 3Posts: 10Author: Jazzielle Panesa Aug 11, 2010 #1this is the question to be answered:"Are there any significant experiences you have had, or accomplishments you have realized, that have helped you define you as a person?"so, this is what i've written. im still deciding on what other things to add or which parts to be modified. can't find anybody else who can help me out with this~ ^^thanks in advance!People often say that we strive and struggle in order to survive, and along the way, we gain experiences that mold our own selves and change it, either for the better or for the worse. Because of these, we gain knowledge. We gain insights on how to live life effectively, how the world works, and how everything gets affected by the ripples of our own decisions. We experience how to love, to hate; we win, we lose; we get accepted or get rejected, and other parts in our life that help us become what we are now, and also define us as a person. Because of the knowledge we have gained from these, we learn how to become successful and we achieve accomplishment, and ultimately, we learn how to make our lives better. However, there is one thing in life that most of our experiences would require of us to have first. That is, the courage and the ability to learn how to take risks. We wouldn't be able to achieve something just by waiting for things to happen, and for everything to unfold right before our eyes. Sometimes, we need to initiate the action ourselves. All we need is courage, and faith, of course, to you-know-Who.I remember myself being a pessimistic kid, who had never really cared or even thought about my goals in the future. Before, I thought that I just didn't care one bit about having experiences or exploring new things. I was given the opportunity to be able to improve myself. I had the talent as well as the strength to do so. All I had to do was to grab the opportunity and use it wisely. But instead, I tended to settle on what I already had. I preferred, or rather, claimed to be contented on what I had. However, as time passes by and I learn more and more, I realized that it wasn't much on not wanting to gain experience. Instead, I realized that I just lacked the courage to take risks and betting on things. Perhaps I was a coward then, though on a different aspect, I guess.Upon stepping unto high school, there was that small amount of fear within me that I constantly feel. I was afraid that this cowardice of mine; my lack of courage on taking risks; will gradually pull me down and would destroy me in any possible situation, and I knew that this fact would haunt me forever. I was anxious to change this attitude, even betting on things I wasn't even sure about, though with little success in the end. Because of these, I could say that perhaps I had already experienced most of the ups and downs of being a student. I had experienced the bitterness of defeat; the sweet taste of victory; the wrath of a teacher; the pressure; the burden of being a leader, the responsibilities, etc. Also, due to my inability to take risks, it was inevitable for me to have so many regrets. They were small things, but even so, they made huge effects.In my pursuit of a change in attitude, I have equal regrets as well. I regretted being not myself on those situations. I regretted pretending to know that I can handle huge responsibilities. I regretted those times when I risk things which I know I shouldn't have, just for the sake of risking. All of these experiences in my life had made me realize some things: that letting other things happen doesn't mean that I give up. It is simply to know that beyond risking, sometimes things fall perfectly after waiting. And that we don't have to be taking risks to be able to show that we are courageous. We don't obtain courage from anywhere else. It's from within.and if there are errors or any mistakes in grammar/spellings/sense, etc. (and i know there are a LOT) please please do tell me. comments and suggestions are very much appreciated :) thanks so much!

And the performance with the team's new players removed the bad thoughts of the previous week's play.
Marc Gasol scored six of his 20 points down the stretch to help the Grizzlies end their two-game slide by defeating the Golden State Warriors, 99-93, on Friday night.
The Grizzlies said it was the most comfortable the team had been since adding Tayshaun Prince, Austin Daye and Ed Davis in a three-team deal that sent Rudy Gay to Toronto on Jan. 30.
"We let our defense dictate our offense," said Gasol, who also grabbed 11 rebounds and was 9 of 14 from the field.
"We were unselfish defensively. We were helping each other. We knew their schemes, and were real aggressive in trying to get them away from what they were trying to do.
" … Offensively, we moved it, and we were fortunate that we hit a lot of shots from the outside."
Tony Allen had a season-high 17 points on 7-of-8 shooting, Zach Randolph had 16 points and 12 rebounds, while Jerryd Bayless finished with 14 points.
All the talk about the team's mindset after the shakeup led Memphis coach Lionel Hollins to address the issue in a 20-plus-minute pregame discussion.
"We finally kind of calmed down and let the game come to us," said point guard Mike Conley, who had 10 of Memphis' 26 assists on 36 field goals.
Stephen Curry matched his season high with 32 points and eight assists for the Warriors, who lost their third in a row. David Lee was the only other Golden State player in double figures with 26 points, connecting on 10 of 16 shots.
While allowing 63 points in the first half, the Warriors limited Memphis to 36 after the break, a turnaround that presented some optimism for Golden State.
"We fell a little bit short," Curry said. "It's a frustrating feeling for us losing three in a row. But it is a positive that we can take from this game knowing that we got back to our brand of basketball the last 24 minutes."
The victory moved the Grizzlies 11/2 games ahead of Golden State for the Western Conference's fifth playoff spot.

Vt. Health Dept. to study EEE in affected zoneThe Associated Press | April 09,2013BURLINGTON — The Vermont Health Department is asking for volunteers from three Addison County towns near where the mosquito-borne disease Eastern Equine Encephalitis killed two people last year.
The study of volunteers from Brandon, Sudbury and Whiting is to determine how many people are infected with the virus that causes EEE, but have not gotten seriously ill. The blood tests would detect antibodies to the virus.
The first clinic will be April 23 at the Brandon Senior Center. On May 14 a clinic will be held at the Sudbury Town Hall and on May 29 at the Whiting Town Hall.
The two Vermonters who died from EEE lived in areas where mosquitoes had tested positive for the virus.MORE IN This Just In

NASCAR Hall of Fame reveals new class
Updated: October 13, 2010, 8:48 PM ETAssociated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- It was popularity vs. performance in voting for NASCAR's second Hall of Fame class, a five-member group that likely will be remembered for the exclusion of three-time champions Darrell Waltrip and Cale Yarborough.
David Pearson, the only true "lock" of the group, was the leading vote-getter in Wednesday's lengthy selection process. A year after the "Silver Fox" surprisingly was left out of the inaugural class, he was on all but three of the 53 ballots cast after two hours ...

Glendale, AZ (SportsNetwork.com) - Phil Dawson more than made up for missing his first field goal in 27 tries.
Dawson nailed a game-winning 40-yard field goal as time expired and the San Francisco 49ers edged the Arizona Cardinals, 23-20, in the regular- season finale.
Dawson split the uprights from 56 yards out to give San Francisco a 20-17 lead with 1:45 remaining.
The Cardinals, though, answered with a Jay Feely 43-yard field goal to knot the tilt with 29 ticks on the clock.
LaMichael James nearly broke the ensuing kickoff, however, before being dragged down from behind by NFC Pro Bowl special teamer Justin Bethel as the 49ers began at their own 36-yard line.
Colin Kaepernick threw a strike to Anquan Boldin on an out route for an 18- yard gain before lofting a pass along the right sideline for fourth-round rookie Quinton Patton, who came down with the 29-yard reception over cornerback Antoine Cason.
Dawson's boot came a snap later.
Although San Francisco headed to the desert with its playoff fate already secured following Monday's 34-24 triumph over the Atlanta Falcons, a win coupled with a Seattle Seahawks loss would've allowed the 49ers to win their third straight NFC West title.
Seattle, though, beat the St. Louis Rams Sunday to clinch the division.
The 49ers will settle with the fifth seed instead and will visit the fourth seeded and NFC North champion Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card round next Sunday at 4:40 ET.
"Players, coaches don't control who you play, where you play, when you play. The thing you control is how you play," San Francisco head coach Jim Harbaugh said.
The former Cardinal Boldin had nine receptions for 149 yards and a touchdown in his first game back in Glendale since Arizona dealt him to the Baltimore Ravens after the 2009 season.
Kaepernick was 21-of-34 for 310 yards and two touchdowns for the 49ers (12-4), who closed the year with six straight wins -- a strong finish during a sometimes up-and-down season which included a pair of two-game losing streaks.
After returning a playoff-clinching interception 89 yards for a touchdown in Monday's win over Atlanta, 49ers linebacker NaVorro Bowman tallied a sack, an interception, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in the triumph.
Carson Palmer completed 28-of-49 passes for 407 yards with a pair of touchdowns and an interception for Arizona (10-6), which recorded just its third 10-win campaign since the franchise relocated in 1988.
Larry Fitzgerald hauled in six passes for 113 yards and Michael Floyd caught six passes for 91 yards in defeat.
"Obviously, we're disappointed in the outcome of the ballgame," Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians said. "We came up short, give the 49ers credit."
The 49ers stormed out of the gate to race out to a 17-0 first-quarter lead.
After Dawson knocked through a 27-yard field goal to cap San Francisco's initial 8-play, 53-yard drive, Bowman picked off Palmer on the second play of Arizona's ensuing series.
Boldin, who had six receptions for 106 yards in the opening frame, hauled in a 4-yard TD pass to increase the 49ers margin to 10-0.
Feely then missed wide right from 37 yards out on Arizona's next touch.
On a 3rd-and-4 from the San Francisco 34, Boldin hauled in a quick out along the right sideline near the first-down marker. He eluded cornerback Jerraud Powers and raced down the middle of the field for a 63-yard gain.
Kaepernick then flipped a 3-yard TD pass to Vernon Davis in the back of the end zone a play later.
Arizona finally got on the board with 4:50 left the second quarter, when Palmer hit Jake Ballard for a 1-yard score to make it 17-7.
The 49ers then moved the ball all the way to the Arizona 6-yard line, but Dawson misfired from 24 yards away with 24 ticks on the clock to end his field-goal streak.
After a scoreless third quarter, Feely's 49-yard field goal on the third play of the fourth whittled Arizona's gap to 17-10.
The Cardinals defense then forced a punt, but 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks stuffed Rashard Mendenhall for a 1-yard loss on a 3rd-and-1 from the San Francisco 24. Arians then elected to kick the field goal instead of going for a 4th-and-2, but Feely missed the 43-yard kick to the right.
Arizona's defense again came up big, though, forcing a three-and-out as the Cardinals got the ball back at their own 40 with 5:48 to go.
Palmer was sacked by Bowman for an 8-yard loss on a 2nd-and-5 from the Niners' 26, but then found Andre Roberts for the game-tying 34-yard score on a go route along the left sideline with 3:20 to play.
The 49ers have won nine of their last 10 meetings against the Cardinals ...
San Francisco running back Frank Gore, who ran for 14 yards on 13 carries, was
the only 100-yard rusher Arizona allowed this year. He accomplished the feat
in Week 6.
Pope Francis' visit to Philadelphia in September has altered the date of the Penn-Villanova football game.
Kyle Busch won Sunday's road course race in Sonoma, California, but he still has a long way to go to become eligible for a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

Pete Mackanin will remain interim manager of the Philadelphia Phillies for the remainder of the season, the team announced Tuesday.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have reportedly retained restricted free agent forward Kyle Singler with a five-year contract extension.
The Detroit Red Wings signed veteran forward Brad Richards a one-year contract on Wednesday.

To understand why Rockies manager Jim Tracy will sign a multiyear deal this week, don't focus on Tracy. Listen to what others say about him.
"Jim is different. He's special. It was the way he talked to me from Day One," reliever Rafael Betancourt said. "I knew what my role was, I knew when I was coming into the game. The way he treated me, I never wanted to let him down."
Reliever Huston Street, who clashed with former A's boss Bob Geren, was more specific.
"I've never seen someone manage a bullpen better than him," Street said.
Managers make their money in two ways: maximizing their bench and putting relievers in position to succeed. Tracy does both. Strategy will always be important as long as Colorado's payroll falls in the lower half. The playoffs haven't exactly been an argument for parity. The Phillies, a $100 million team, are in the World Series and on the verge of becoming a National League dynasty. The Yankees and Angels have more money in their couch cushions than most teams have invested in players.
The Rockies can't gloss over mistakes. Which brings us to the second bit of news that will happen this week. Dan O'Dowd's extension. He's had many lives in Colorado. But as a former GM told me recently, the less money O'Dowd has — like a poker player running low on chips — the better decisions he makes. He hit home runs with the acquisition of Jason Marquis, Carlos Gonzalez, Betancourt and Street last season. He needs a right-handed hitter off the bench and rotation depth this winter.
Blog: All Things Rockies
Troy Renck posts analysis, notes and minutiae on this blog devoted to the Colorado Rockies.
Commitment to O'Dowd and Tracy is the first step toward continued success. Then it's up to the players to deal with expectations better, establishing Colorado as a perennial contender.
Men in blue.
All the criticism of the missed calls in the postseason misses the point. It's not like the umpires are having a bad postseason. They are merely performing the way they did during the regular season. The number of blown calls was staggering, the inconsistency and lack of accountability driving players crazy.
Two things I don't understand: Why umpires insist that they are bigger than the game, and why they protect each other rather than concern themselves with getting the call right.
Given the technology available, it's time to expand the use of instant replay. Ease in at first, if necessary, allowing for the review of two plays on the bases. You have six umpires working the playoff games. Go with four, put one a plane home and the other in the booth. Set ground rules. Any call reviewed can't be argued by anyone, lest they are ejected.
Never will replay include monitoring the strike zone; otherwise, the games would last five hours.
If the umpires would lose the attitude and realize the game is not about them, the changes could help them. If you're Tim McClelland, wouldn't you rather have that play at third base fixed than wake up as the owner of the worst call ever?
With Boston's Jed Hoyer headed to San Diego, it paves the way for former Padres boss Kevin Towers to join the Red Sox as a special assistant. . . . Don't look for left-hander Randy Wolf or second baseman Orlando Hudson, who was benched down the stretch, to return to the Dodgers. . . . San Francisco is seeking a bat. The Giants could make a play for Matt Holliday or Jason Bay. Keep an eye on Seattle's move for Bay. . . . Impressive scene: Angels owner Arte Moreno signing autographs outside the stadium an hour after his team's Game 3 ALCS loss.

Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park, Saint Kitts and Nevis
12 Reviews
12 Reviews
The spectacular Brimstone Hill Fortress is not only a National Park but also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, because of its historical significance. Perched high on a hillside overlooking the Caribbean Sea, the forboding mass of Brimstone Hill Fort has been called "The Gibralter of the Caribbean." Construction of the fort began under British rule in 1690, and took a century to complete, mostly with African slave labor. The huge fort, with its five bastions and citadel, covers 38 acres, and is one of the largest engeering projects even undertaken in the Caribbean. The fort eventually became obsolete and was abandoned in 1852. However, extensive restoration work began in the 1960s, and it was reopened as a national park in 1982.
Open every day from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Adults: US $8.00
Children: US $4.00
Situated 800 feet above the sea, Brimstone is one of the most dramatic spots in the entire Caribbean. It commands astounding views of the Caribbean, including Nevis, Montserrat, Saba, St. Martin and St. Barts. But the best I was able to do was to snatch a few pictures out the window of the van because our tour did not include it..
In February of 1782, a French fleet commanded by Admiral Count François de Grasse had orders to force the British from St. Kitts - the same admiral who had earlier helped the English colony now known as the United States to gain their independence.
His flagship was the 130-gun Ville de Paris. He had to take the massive Fort George on Brimstone Hill. At this time, the citadel had been under nearly continuous construction (by slave labor) for almost nine decades. A month of bombardment pounding the seven-foot thick walls of black volcanic stone (brimstone) led to the English surrender. One year later, the Treaty of Versailles returned St. Kitts to British rule.
Brimstone Hill was abandoned in 1851, and the fort suffered neglect and vandalism. In 1965, it became a national park, and was restored.
Hours : Sunday - Saturday 9.30 - 5.30
Fees : Residents - $5.00 E.C

My wife and I had the pleasure of touring the Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park during our visit to St. Kitts. The Fortress itself was a highlight of the tour and is also an UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Fortress is also called the "The Gibraltar of the West Indies", meaning it is supposedly invulnerable. The Fortress is set high up the hill giving it some incredible views that also means a military advantage of seeing the enemy coming.
The fort was abandoned by the British in 1853, until 1973 when it was restored and later declared a National Park in 1987. In 1999 it became a World Heritage Site. The fortress was constructed during a hundred year period from 1690-1790; using slave labor for construction. The fortress is constructed mostly of limestone and mortar which must have been quite the undertaking without modern construction equipment and the steepness of the hill.
My wife and I began our tour by walking up the Alphabet Steps ( a series of 26 steps) leading up to the fortress itself. Our tour allowed us to explore the Citadel, Western Place of Arms, Eastern Place of Arms, Magazine Bastion, Orillon Bastion, the quarters and Fort George Museum. My wife and I are military history buffs and thoroughly enjoyed our explorations.
The best part of this tour are the amazing panoramic views of the area. We had a bit of a cloudy day so the view was not as perfect as it can be; but the views were still specatcular to us. This was a highlight of the visit for both of us. If we visit the island again; I will definitely return here.
**There is an admission fee: Residents - $6.00 E.C ; Visitors - $10.00 U.S and Children - Half Price. Our admission fee was included in the tour price. If you would like an audio guide; they are available for rent at $5 a set. There is also a small girft shop, cafe selling drinks and food items and restrooms available by the carpark.**
Brimstone Hill Fortress is a National Park located in St Kitts. Preserved by UNESCO as a world heritage site. This site, built by the British Military between the 17th and 18th century is one of St Kitts finest attractions. Captivating, educational and provides a great half day visit.
My visit prior to this was in 1984 or thereabouts where i was only 2 years old! I don't remember the visit, but I have a picture to prove it.. I attempted to take another picture in the same location on my visit.. but I was taking the picture myself, so wasn't too successful.
I visited on a Sunday morning where most of the locals were seen carrying their books to church on the drive there. It is a steep drive up to the main entrance of the fortress where I was welcomed by several wild monkeys, cats and two cows. I was personally shown around by this gentleman who claimed to have worked there for nearly 20 years, although he looked particularly young ( he was also single and I think possibly hoping I would migrate there..) I particularly enjoyed the breathtaking views the fortress offered including the surrounding islands.
Well worth the visit.
This is a gothic looking structure...almost castle-like in architecture inside built around the end of the 17th century. The views from the top of this fortress is stunning! I think I counted 6 islands from the top of the fortress. I recommend a visit here....but beware....for those who aren't in decent physical condition...there are a LOT of stairs to get to the top. The view is well worth it, though.
As the only UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Leeward Islands, Brimstone Hill Fortress is justifiably popular with history buffs. But even those not particularly interested in history will find exploring this rambling 18th-century compound enjoyable and educational. Dubbed the "Gibraltar of the West Indies," the fort offers an insightful look into Caribbean history as well as some truly fantastic panoramic views. It's also as good a place as any to see the introduced Green Vervet Monkeys up close and personal.
Here's a shot inside Brimstone Hill Fortress. Have you seen the movie, "Pirates of the Caribbean?" Does this look familiar to you? I'm not sure if this was the location for the film or not, but it looks like the fortress where Elizabeth fainted and fell into the water. Anyway, this was a really cool look into history.
The only UNESCO World Heritage Site in the small Antilles can be found on the island of Saint Kitts. It clearly is the main attraction of the island, but still it is hardly discovered by mass tourism. The Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park is an absolute must-see during your stay on Saint Kitts.
The Fortress is situated at about 12 kilometres northwest from the capital Basseterre. When you look up from the road along the coastline you can already see some walls on top of the hill, but from here you can't imagine the beauty you'll find up there. It takes a short taxi-ride or a 15 minutes walk to get to the entrance and from there you'll get more amazed by every step you take.
Cannons facing the sea, great views of the neighbouring islands Statia, Saba and Saint-Martin, and the beautiful blue sea and the green fields below you. But even more impressive are the all the old remains you can find here: old barracks, guard-towers, castles, gates and other buildings. The dark stones that are made to build them make a brilliant contrast with the green surroundings.
The history of the Brimstone Hill Fortress dates back to the 18th century when the Brittish built it to protect the island from French attacks. A few times it changed owner, but in 1782 it finally came back into Brittish hands and in 1850 it was finally abandoned. After thorough restaurations it was officially reopened in 1985 by Queen Elisabeth and nowadays it is not only a National Park, but it's also on the famous UNESCO-list.
History buffs will appreciate the magnificence of Brimstone Hill Fortress. It was constructed between the 1690's and 1790's so you can feel the old world military presence here. All the cannon's were flown in to reconstruct the true feeling of the fortress.
Also, the views are magnificent, we were in awe. If you go to St. Kitts, make it a point to visit here. Also, one of the differences when visiting here, as opposed to say "the Alamo in San Antonio", is that you can go everywhere and touch everything. None of it is blocked or cordoned off. Really cool...
Entrance fees are $8 per person, children are half price.
The major stop on any tour of St. Kitts. This historic monument, among the largest and best preserved in the Caribbean, is a complex of bastions, barracks, and other structures ingeniously adapted to the top and upper slopes of a steep-sided 800-foot (240m) hill. The fortress dates from 1690, when the British attempted to recapture Fort Charles from the French.
Today, the fortress is the centerpiece of a national park of nature trails and a diverse range of plant and animal life, including the green vervet monkey. It's also a photographer's paradise, with views of mountains, fields, and the Caribbean Sea. On a clear day, you can see six neighboring islands.
Visitors will enjoy self-guided tours among the many ruined or restored structures, including the barrack rooms at Fort George, which comprise an interesting museum. The gift shop stocks prints of rare maps and paintings of the Caribbean. Admission is $5, half price for children. The Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park is open daily from 9:30am to 5:30pm.
The Brimstone Hill Fortress is a must-see. There are cannons everywhere and alot of history to learn about. I just loved the view. The mountains reminded me of The Sound of Music!!
Great photo spot, the history of the location.
Here's another view from the top of the fortress. St. Kitts was so beautiful. We really enjoyed our visit. The locals were pretty nice, too.

Love this, the people give it scale, great place to go.

The figures are a picture in there own right, but there is just a bit too much background for me. The tonal range is very flat due to the lighting conditions but there is far too much water in the middle for me. A subjective view from me in essence and I would crop off 2/3 of the top right down to a letterbox of people, sand and a little water. Then up the contrast..

I think Paul above have said it all, have uploaded a Mod but to be honest it is not a lot better. Wonder if there is a software where you were able to slice out the middle of a photo??? because that is what you need here to get rid of some of that sea.
Anyway apart from the above great location.

Looks a great place to take photographs. Compositionally I like the placement of the people in the frame and this gives sense of scale and space. I do think that the picture is dominated by the sea as already said. This can be reduced at the taking stage by crouching down (if crouching is possible, without going over the side ). Less sea would not impact on the impression of scale or sea. I have tried to demonstrate this in a mod. Also quite naturally my eye wanders to the left and out of the picture - I want to see more of what looks like an inlet and receding hills. This takes the eye away from a really interesting shaped mountain on the right which makes a very good subject. The decision again is at the taking stage - do you open up the left by moving (if possible) to the right and taking the picture or do you stay put and compose with the interesting mountain as the subject - again I have demonstrated this in a mod. If you do stay put the people are directly below the main subject which could be said to unbalance the composition. Another factor to consider is the light area on the sand - if possible I would exclude this because light areas draw the eye away from your subject. Lastly, it is a dull day but I think you have under exposed which compounds the issue - you may have darkened the image to capture the threatening clouds but as stormy skies go it is not the most dramatic and I would be tempted to concentrate on the other elements ( although it probably did look threatening at the time ) - see mod which brightens everything up a bit. Hope that helps and gives an insight to some of the thinking that I often fail to do when I am composing! SteveLast Modified By Steve-T at 18 Jan 2013 - 6:07 PM

Thanks everybody for taking the time to comment.
I agree with everything that has been said.
I have made some of the adjustments to the original that have been suggested and see a real improvement.
Many thanks Paul
