PPC News Roundup for February 4, 2011
February 4, 2011
Ladies and gentlemen, the gloves are off. On Tuesday, February 1, Google released a statement accusing Bing of cheating off of Google's search results algorithm. In an article first reported at Search Engine Land by Danny Sullivan, Google announced that after running a series of carefully rigged search queries, it found that Bing was simply copying Google results in places where Bing's algorithm fell through. Since the initial statement, both Bing and Google have exchanged heated words, and the issue is far from resolved. But the arguments aren't reserved for the search engine giants: this situation has had user opinions all over the board. Who looks worse in this situation – Bing or Google? What does this say about search engine fairness in a two-party system? If Bing did actually copy from Google, is what they did illegal? Stay tuned, because this isn't over yet!
According to the Inside Adwords Blog, location extensions in Google has undergone an overhaul. Now, ads with location extensions will show on the place search map as a blue pin. So, if your ad is relevant to the search query and would show above the place map in a normal search, it will be shown with a blue pin directly underneath in the place results. The Adwords blog goes on to say that Google has been experimenting with many different formats for place search, and although this is what they deem will work best now, other overhauls in the future may still take place.
…The AdWords team didn't stop there. Starting today and continuing over the next few weeks, Google announced the addition of city targeting in 17 new countries to help you reach local consumers more efficiently. Essentially, this allows for campaign targeting at an even more granular level in order to optimize your account and achieve a better ROI. The new countries with these targeting features include Argentina, Brazil and China, along with many others. This brings Google's grand total to 34 countries! If you haven't already done so, be sure to check out the article from the AdWords team for the complete story.
Good news for mobile search advertisers! With all of these new fancy phones, it was only a matter of time until companies found a way to make advertising on them profitable. According to Rob Young of Search Engine Journal, Google recently reported that they are seeing millions of calls each month with the Click-to-Call option. To use click-to-call, an advertiser opts in and adds a phone extension to their ad, allowing the user to call the company and find out more about the ad they just viewed. Young also explains that Google has released the call only version which appeals to those without a full website.
Google, Google, Google! On Thursday, Google announced it will start displaying longer headlines for certain ads on the SERPs. Google has been testing these alternate ad forms and found that those in the new formatting tend to bring in a higher click-through-rate. Read Pamela Parker's post on Search Engine Land to get the details about which ads will be shown in the new format, as well as see examples of the alternate ads (if you haven't noticed them on the SERPs already!).

Bio: Esmé Weijun Wang is an award-winning author and advocate. At esmewang.com, she provides resources that assist aspiring and working writers in developing resilience on the path to building a creative legacy. Wang's emphasis on resilience originates from her own experiences as a writer, having learned the importance of adapting to difficult times from living with schizoaffective disorder and late-stage Lyme disease. She studied creative writing and psychology at Yale and Stanford, and received her MFA from the top-tier Creative Writing program at the University of Michigan. The author of THE BORDER OF PARADISE (Unnamed Press, 2016), as well as the chapbook LIGHT GETS IN, Wang has written for Catapult, Hazlitt, Lit Hub, Salon, and Lenny, and been written about in the New Yorker Online, Fusion, and the New York Times. She delights in organizational tools, handwritten letters, and her home base of San Francisco. Find her e-letter, as well as the complimentary Creative Legacy Check-In, at esmewang.com/e-letter.
UPDATE: On July 6, 2016, just as this episode went up, she won the Graywolf Press Nonfiction Prize for her upcoming book, The Collected Schizophrenias. Congratulations, Esmé!
Craft Tip: Esmé attributes this idea to Professor Elizabeth Tallent (Stanford): If you feel an instinct to go toward a certain plot point or even a line or paragraph, challenge yourself. Often, the plot point you're heading toward is actually a cliche and the reason you're headed that way is that it's the easiest way.

I've figured out over the years there are two kinds of people: those who like reality TV and those who mock reality TV but watch it in private. Seems that almost everyone has a niche that they like to watch. Some enjoy Hoarders (I like to watch once a year or so and then I clean out closets like a possessed person). Others enjoy the home improvement shows or the PBS Life In the Prairie/VictorianMansion/EdwardianRowHouse shows. Still others get into the love-based reality shows (and I'll confess here I'm an inveterate Bachelor-watcher. I adore watching all the women get so excited about the possibility of falling in love. I'm less excited about TheBachelorette because I can go down to the financial district in San Francisco if I want to watch that many young men posturing for attention).
There's a secret about reality TV that no one talks about, though.
Those shows can be good for the heart.
Just like romance novels.
They're not guilty pleasures—they're just pleasures. And there's nothing wrong with those, and don't let anyone tell you there is.
Six seasons of America's Next Top Model got me through my mother's death. At the end of long, anxious, miserable days, I opened my computer, put in my earbuds, and disappeared into the world in which Tyra Banks played a gorgeous house mother to women who were trying to live their dream (even though I just wanted to feed each one of those women three or four slices of cheesecake).
When I didn't know how to help a friend when she was very low, I attempted to hook her on Project Runway. Another dear friend is currently going through a dark vale, and she's been watching The Great British Bake Off.
We all need escape sometimes from a life that while often very, very good, can be very, very hard. That escape doesn't have to be mindless. It can be mindful.
Think about it—escaping for a little while is just taking care of someone else you care about: Yourself.
I was recently in a hospital room with a loved one. We watched The Property Brothers to escape the terrible pings and beeps that go along with a stay like that.
I mocked the brothers terribly. Look at his hair! Is every show this scripted? Why do they constantly knock out load-bearing walls?
But it passed the time. We laughed. We were interested in something that didn't really matter, but something that lightened the heart.
And I realized that I'd love to write a reality show series.
So here's the first in the Ballard Brothers series. It'sThe Property Brothers meets the Bachelor, set on the California coast in the town of Darling Bay. I fell in love with Liam while writing him, and so did Felicia, the network executive who ends up accidentally starring in her own show (oops!).
Buy it today here:
Amazon | iBooks | Nook | GooglePlay
And now, after a lot of hard work and a couple of difficult weeks, I'm going to engage in my own form of escape. I'm going to watch the second season ofUnReal, which is a behind-the-scenes drama abouta reality show much like the Bachelor. It was just profiled in the New Yorker (yep, I totally just said that for the snobbish lit cred I'm still sometimes guilty of desiring).
I hope you love On the Market. Let me know what you think.
xo and escapism of many forms,

You guys, this is so good, and lately I've been eating this EVERY DAY. If you make it the night before a busy day, it's good cold from the fridge (Lala thinks that's gross but I LIKE it that way). If you make it in the morning, it's good warm. It's really sweet but has no sugar except that from the fruit. And it's FAST (although I let it sit a while, so I make it first, have a cup of coffee, and then eat).
Start a cup of water to boil in your microwave or electric tea kettle (faster). In a cereal bowl, mash up half the overripe banana you've been thinking about making into banana bread but in reality probably never will. Then bang into the bowl: a bunch of cinnamon (I give the bottle four or five good whacks – I like a LOT of cinnamon), a scant sprinkle of cayenne (scant! but trust me on this), 2 tbsp chia seeds (I eyeball this, it's a good amount), and a half cup of oatmeal (what kind? I've used everything except steel-cut, from quick to not-quick, from thick to thin). Then dump in 1/2 – 1 cup of boiling water and stir it all up. (Thinner, quicker oats will require the full cup of water, thicker oats less — play around with this part.) Let it sit for ten minutes or so (or put it in the fridge overnight) to let the chia seed and oatmeal absorb the water. Top with seasonal fruit of choice! Currently, we're in the strawberry boom, which is really good, but I also love blueberries (I keep a big bag of frozen ones for when I'm out of fresh fruit).
THIS IS SO GOOD. Let me know if you make it!

We Believe In Each Other Lyrics
Artist: George Jones
Album: Me And The First Lady
We watch the friends we know break and drift apart
And we heard them say too much that hurts and breaks a heart
But that just seems to draw us both closer together for we believe in each other
You're happy just having pennies when we know a primise gold
But the rougher rolling ways are tighter we both hold
We laugh at rainy bad times and wait for sunny weather cause we believe in each other
We believe in each other and where you go darling I will go
Yes we believe in each other and it's all because we love each other so
We believe in each other

Air Algerie plane disappears from radar
ALGIERS, Algeria - Officials say heavy rain has been reported in the area where a plane carrying 116 people disappeared from radar today over the African country of Mali. The Air Algerie flight was on its way from neighboring Burkina Faso to Algeria.
France's transport minister says the crew's last message asked air control to change the plane's route because of the heavy rains in the area.
The plane was being operated by the Spanish airline Swiftair. Burkina Faso's transport minister says 50 French nationals were among those on board.
The plane had been missing for hours before the news was made public.
Mali is between Burkina Faso and Algeria. Unrest has plagued the northern part of Mali in recent years. But a senior French official says it seems unlikely that fighters in Mali would have the kind of weapons that could shoot down a plane.

Laura Ling interviewed Bennett on last night's episode of her E! show Society X. During the interview, Bennett treated Ling and all of us to one of her hypnotherapy sessions that she undergoes online so as to be "brainless," as Bennett likes to call it. This involves a Skype session with an out-of-county hypnotherapist, who tells her to envision an elephant and encourages her to do whatever she wants with it. She pets its trunk. Here's what I think: If you are paying some dude in another country to tell you to do things with imaginary elephants, you are well on your way to becoming brainless. In fact, I think you might be there. Congratulations, Blondie Bennett! I really like Ling's reaction to Bennett. Advertisement GIF I really, really like it. Reply102 repliesLeave a reply

"Boys in the Trees"
"I used to listen to this song over and over, wishing I'd wrote it," Amos once said of Carly Simon's poignant reflection on adolescent desire and self-discovery. And Tori indeed assumes a sense of responsibility for this song as though it were own, performing it with great zeal, affection, and care. From the first lyric, all trace of vanity disappears; Ms. Simon would approve.
"Case of You"
Amos once told Keyboard magazine that she "would have given her right arm" to have been the one to pen Joni Mitchell's masterpiece. Lucky for us, she didn't.
While covering Elton John isn't a total reach for Amos—she cut her teeth taking requests in piano bars in the '70s—her emotional take on the tale of a Vietnam soldier's homecoming is a marked example of her ability to step inside the edifice of a song and narrate from within. Now something of a rarity, this poignant cover took on new life during Tori's Strange Little Girls tour, which began just weeks after 9/11.
"Famous Blue Raincoat"
To say Amos covers Leonard Cohen's pensive epistle from a cuckolded man to his betrayer ("what can I tell you/my brother, my killer?") would be inaccurate; she uncovers it. An early blueprint for her 2001 persona-shifting cover album, Tori sings from the perspective of Jane, the woman at the center of the triangle, and manages to create a new vantage point entirely without changing a single lyric.
Though many consider the Fleetwood Mac original untouchable, the potency of Amos' live rendition rests in its subtle evolution over the past 18 years, one that mirrors the song's message of reflection, aging, and self-realization. "I've built my life around you," Amos sighs, as she nods wistfully into the dark theater. And when she utters the obvious—"I'm getting older, too"—it elicits an uncommon sense of mutual gratitude and trust that bridges the gap between performer and spectator.

Bring back the old chocolates! Got given a tin before christmas and in a moment of weakness opened them before christmas. I'm glad i did as i won't be buying them again to put out with my christmas decorations. They've taken away all the lovely old favourites and the ones that have survived have changed. Bad chocolate, minimal amounts of nuts and poor centers. Not happy cadburys, bring on the Quality Street!!

Now, a few bits of information to be fair to the seller:
1. I am a man, not an expert in bath soaps and bathing utensils, and am not familiar with retail pricing of each individual product contained within the basket. All I know is that it costs me under $5 for a bottle of Old Spice Body Wash and a couple more dollars for a wash cloth.
2. I must reemphasize, once more, I AM NOT AN EXPERT IN PRICING of women's bathing products.
3. I won't be giving my wife the basket until Valentine's Day tomorrow, and her reaction is what really reveals the true value of the basket.

My Struggle, Book 1by Karl Ove Knausgaard

"No one in his generation equals Knausgaard."—Dagens Næringsliv
"A tremendous piece of literature."—Politiken (Denmark)
To the heart, life is simple: it beats for as long as it can. Then it stops. Sooner or later, one day or another, this thumping motion shuts down of its own accord. . . . The changes of these first hours happen so slowly and are performed with such an inevitability that there is almost a touch of ritual about them, as if life capitulates according to set rules, a kind of gentleman's agreement.
Almost ten years have passed since Karl O. Knausgaard's father drank himself to death. He is now embarking on his third novel while haunted by self-doubt. Knausgaard breaks his own life story down to its elementary particles, often recreating memories in real time, blending recollections of images and conversation with profound questions in a remarkable way. Knausgaard probes into his past, dissecting struggles—great and small—with great candor and vitality. Articulating universal dilemmas, this Proustian masterpiece opens a window into one of the most original minds writing today.
Karl O. Knausgaard was born in Norway in 1968. His debut novel Out of This World won the Norwegian Critics' Prize and his A Time for Everything was nominated for the Nordic Council Prize.
Editorial Reviews
Intense and vital . . . So powerfully alive to death . . . Where many contemporary writers would reflexively turn to irony, Knausgaard is intense and utterly honest, unafraid to voice universal anxieties. . . The need for totality . . . brings superb, lingering, celestial passages . . . He wants us to inhabit the ordinariness of life, which is sometimes vivid, sometimes banal, and sometimes momentous, but all of it perforce ordinary because it happens in the course of a life, and happens, in different forms, to everyone. . . The concluding sentences of the book [are] placid, plain, achieved. They have what Walter Benjamin called 'the epic side of truth, wisdom.' —James Wood, The New Yorker
A profusion of quotidian ephemera—from binge drinking to cigarette after cigarette—serves to highlight the incommensurability of death in light of the banality of life...Knausgaard's gorgeous prose and enthralling reflections make this tome a rewarding struggle. —Publishers Weekly
It's a lucky reader who gets buried alive in this Norwegian literary avalanche. [My Struggle] is a free-wheeling, funny, smart, provocative, 471-page chunk of narrative that just keeps on coming. —Nick DiMartino, Shelf Awareness
The level of detail is the main fictioneering touch...but there's a feeling that something portentous is lurking behind the accumulating descriptions of unremarkable events. —Christopher Tayler, London Review of Books
Powerfully alive . . . Knausgaard is intense and utterly honest, unafraid to voice universal anxieties . . . He wants us to inhabit the ordinariness of life, which is sometimes visionary, sometimes banal, and sometimes momentous, but all of it perforce ordinary because it happens in the course of a life, and happens, in different forms, to everyone . . . There is something ceaselessly compelling about Knausgaard's book.
A Norwegian novelist plumbs his interior life, particularly his troubled relationship with his late father, in this curiously affecting opening to a multipart epic. "Epic," though, may not be quite the right word to apply to what Knausgaard (Out of This World, 2005; A Time for Everything, 2009), has accomplished. Though the book, a bestseller in his homeland, is composed of six volumes, its focus is on the author's quotidian, banal, sometimes-frivolous experiences. One extended sequence follows his ham-handed interview as a teenager of a well-known Norwegian author; another covers his ham-handed attempt to play in a rock band; another tracks his ham-handed efforts to get to a New Year's Eve party. Sense a pattern? Knausgaard is emotionally clumsy to be sure, but remarkably, almost miraculously, his novel never comes off as a plea for sympathy, as so many memoirs (or memoir-novels) are. He means to strip experiences and emotional responses to their bare essences, and over time, the book evokes a feeling of fully inhabiting a character that typical rhetorical somersaulting often doesn't. That's not to say the storytelling is aimless or can't be emotionally piercing: The book concludes with a long section of Karl Ove and his brother, Yngve, clearing out their alcoholic father's rural home while minding their grandmother, who appears to be succumbing to alcoholism herself. Scrubbing down the impossibly filthy home is dry stuff on the sentence level ("I filled the bucket with water, took a bottle of Klorin, a bottle of green soap and a bottle of Jif scouring cream…"), but the slow accrual of detail masterfully evokes the slow effort to reckon with the past. The title, with its echo of Hitler's memoir, is a provocation, but a considered one—Knausgaard's reckoning with his past is no less serious for lacking drama and outsize tragedy. A simple and surprising effort to capture everyday life that rewards the time given to it.

Read an Excerpt
For the heart, life is simple: it beats for as long as it can. Then it stops. Sooner or later, one day, this pounding action will cease of its own accord, and the blood will begin to run towards the body's lowest point, where it will collect in a small pool, visible from outside as a dark, soft patch on ever whitening skin, as the temperature sinks, the limbs stiffen and the intestines drain. These changes in the first hours occur so slowly and take place with such inexorability that there is something almost ritualistic about them...

This was a powerful read.....he touches on so many life issues we all face, even though imore of a memoir. It stays with you, and I have just purchased vol 2
Despite the awful title, whose significance I still don't get since the author is not a Nazi, I loved reading this book every night UNTIL Karl Ove and his brother arrived at Grandma's after their father's death. They spent days and nights super-cleaning the house, but allowed this very old woman to sit and sleep in her own urine, day and night without doing anything to help her and to prevent a steady stream of pee moving through her house. And why? They had many decent alternatives: re-hire the Home Assistant that her son had ordered, get her to a doctor, ask Tove to personally assist her, and to call and get one or both of their wives to come and take over. This was a horrible situation and a dreadful ending to an otherwise great book. Why not take care of the grieving human before dealing with the filthy house?
More than a memoir, he writes of his thoughts and his journey. Extremely powerful and very easy to read although it was so well written that I wanted to take my time and savor every word. ~*~LEB~*~
Incredible. I could not put this down, and when finished I immediately took up volume two. An utterly compelling writing style. I highly recommend this!

Gimme Fleck
Ever since the 70s, Béla Fleck has been obsessed with the banjo. (He introduced its twangy sound into jazz, pop, classical, and world music.) His passion for the instrument has snagged him 20 Grammy nominations in more distinct categories than any other recording artist in the history of the award.
In Throw Down Your Heart, a new film about Fleck, the camera follows the artist to Africa to explore the banjo's roots in the continent and to watch him record a theme album. The movie not only enlightens us about the history of an instrument popularized in America, but it also busts up notions about Africa often depicted as poverty-stricken and AIDS-ridden, but here shown as hopeful and beautiful.
The screening, presented by No Festival Required and The Musical Instrument Museum, takes place at the Phoenix Art Museum.

Product Description:
Personnel: Dave Koz (soprano saxophone, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, baritone saxophone); Gerald Albright (alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, baritone saxophone); Mindi Abair (alto saxophone, baritone saxophone); Richard Elliot (tenor saxophone).
Audio Mixer: Paul Brown .
Photographer: Greg Allen .
Summer Horns is the first studio album from Dave Koz since 2010's Hello Tomorrow. That said, it's not solely billed to him. The "and Friends" on the bill refers to three other contemporary jazz saxophonists: Gerald Albright, Mindi Abair, and Richard Elliot. Produced by Paul Brown, this is a big up-front horn section record, full of jazz, funk, and R&B covers, alternately by Greg Adams, Tom Scott, Gordon Goodwin, and Albright. The four-sax line is augmented by brass in various places, too. While Brown's production sound stays within the genre of contemporary jazz -- it's both clean and bright -- the feel is all groove. Early on there is a finger-popping open-road vibe in the take on Herb Alpert's "Rise," and an atypical jazzy read of Sly Stone's "Hot Fun in the Summertime," with Brian Culbertson adding a trombone solo and chorus vocals by Jonathan Butler and Jeffrey Osborne. Abair's lead alto on the cover of Paul Desmond's iconic "Take Five" is slippery and warm, and rides the time signature beautifully; the multi-horn arrangement by Goodwin, with its layered and interweaving solos and upright bass in place of the piano and drums, is a nice touch. Michael McDonald's vocal on Tower of Power's "So Very Hard to Go" is every bit as soulful as the Motown covers on his own records. Koz's lead alto breaks are tasty. Adams' chart substitutes elegance for grittiness, but the emotion remains. While Chicago's "25 or 6 to 4" and James Brown's "I Got You (I Feel Good)" suffer a tad for their lack of wildness, both have interesting guitar touches and fine solos by Koz and Albright, respectively. Led by Elliot's expressive tenor, Charles Stepney and Earth, Wind & Fire's "Reasons" is a groove-laden midtempo babymaker and a set high point. Rick Braun's trumpet solo and Butler's gospel moaning vocal turn Stevie Wonder's "You Haven't Done Nothin'" into one of the set's dancefloor shakers. Albright's horn chart is funky, chunky, and righteous. The lone original here is the title track. It's pure contemporary jazz, with Koz delivering a nice soprano solo followed by Elliot's fine tenor break. Lenny Castro's percussion and Roberto Vally's bassline keep the groove fluid and deep. Summer Horns doesn't pretend to be anything other than it is: a good-time record that sounds like it was as much fun to make as it is to listen to. ~ Thom Jurek

Media Notes
Published November 19, 2012
SAY WHAT? CBS college basketball analyst Seth Davis yesterday tweeted about UFC 154, which was held Saturday in Montreal. Davis: "Looking on news sites showing picture of two muscular bloody men in homoerotic fighting pose. … Maybe I'm a prude on this but I'm also a dad. I don't mind my sons watching boxing, but I wouldn't want them watching a UFC bout." In N.Y., Marc Raimondi wrote Davis is "a good parent" and is "very good at what he does, one of the best college hoops reporters out there." However, he "lowered himself to the least common denominator with these comments" (NYPOST.com, 11/18).
FEELING GOOD: In Houston, David Barron noted Astros TV analyst Jim Deshaies yesterday said that he had "'good meetings' with officials in Chicago about becoming the Cubs' TV analyst on WGN and Comcast SportsNet Chicago and will wait and see if he is offered the job before deciding whether to leave Houston or to work toward a new contract calling Astros games." Deshaies said that he has been told by Astros President George Postolos the team "would like him back" in '13 when the team's broadcasts move from FS Houston to CSN Houston (CHRON.com, 11/18).
BIGGER AUDIENCE: CBS Radio on Friday said that Boston-based WBZ-FM's Damon Amendolara "will host the network's weekday overnight show," which will debut Jan. 2. In Boston, Ira Kantor noted "The D.A. Show" will be "heard on select stations in 12 major U.S. cities from 2 a.m.-6 a.m. on air, streaming online and through the Radio.com application for mobile devices." Amendolara served as WBZ-AM's evening host "since the station's launch" in August '09 (BOSTONHERALD.com, 11/16). Also in Boston, Chad Finn noted Amendolara's "affable if increasingly contrarian style and catchphrases such as 'the mothership has connected, welcome aboard' won him a loyal young audience" (BOSTONGLOBE.com, 11/16).

Allie Kay Turns 3!
My niece Allie Kay turned 3 on Saturday, and a few days before her birthday, I met up her mother (my sister Emily) and her husband Ivan at the Kissel Hill wildflower field for a brief portrait session to commemorate this occasion. Here are a few shots of the fun we had!
Now, on her birthday itself, I happened to have my camera with me, and got a few pictures of the festivities there, as well.
As you can see, part of her present from her parents was this awesome Slip'N'Slide! She loved it!
If you want to see her in action on said water toy, here's a video I took on my GoPro camera.
Hope you had a great birthday, Allie!
Kissel Hill Flower Field
At the intersection of Kissel Hill Road and Oregon Road in Manheim Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, USA, is a beautiful field of wildflowers on a farm, which is right by the Lancaster Airport. The owners of the farm kindly let people wander around the field, as long as you don't pick the flowers. People have been telling me to get out there and take some photos, so I did.
I got some great shots! Beautiful shots! It was lovely to stroll around this place on Sunday afternoon.
The above shot, of course, is from that field. Here are a few more shots I would like to share with you.
Now, want to see the rest of them? You'll have to hop on over to my portfolio for that! And it's worth it.
Shut Up, and Take My Money!
That's what I'm screaming at Adobe right now. Ugh. I have that meme of Fry in my head as I yell, "Shut up, and take my money!"
I have been playing around with Adobe Lightroom CC. I love it. I'm going to end up getting a subscription.
I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements for a long time. I think I've outgrown it a long time ago. My photo editing workflow is not what it should be.
For instance, I have been picking random unedited RAW files out of my library of photos and working on them in Lightroom CC. The above photo of the wild Spanish mustangs on the beach in the Outer Banks, North Carolina, USA was taken last year. It didn't quite make the publishing cut, but it otherwise made a good photo to practice with. For reference, here's the original.
So, I've been having fun playing around with Lightroom's tools and presets. I love the idea of presets. I love the idea being able to adjust presets and copy them to other photos. I'm glowing.
The photo above wasn't the only one I worked with. Here's a few other before and after shots of photos that tested Lightroom on. The originals are on the left hand side, and the edited outcomes are on the right.
And, lastly, I think this one's editing is the most dramatic….
So yeah, Adobe, you can have my $9.99 a month. I think this software on the Creative Cloud is worth it. I can't wait to dig in further down this rabbit hole!
Oh, and I would love any tips, tricks, and pointers you could give me. I'm learning, and I'm sure there's a lot to unlock in Lightroom CC!
Omni Lens Studios Cosplay Photos
I am really pleased with the photos I got from the Omni Lens Studios cosplay event. I only wish I would have stepped up and taken more! Still, with that being said, I am very happy with the shots I did get, such as Samantha Leigh Fern's delightful rain cloud cosplay costume at the top here. She made it herself, including adding the LED lights. I loved seeing people's creativity that day!
Here are a few more that I took that I want to show you before I send you over to the portfolio.
Ms. Eclipse Nightshade here was a master at JRPG costuming. I like the contrast of her outfit on the red painted brick wall.
Katie Dempsey here was specialized in Disney cosplay, as she is a smouldering Cruella DeVille here from 101 Dalmatians.
I am really please with the shots I got, I really am. The models and tools I had to work with here excellent, so thanks to all for their time and talents!
Now, to send you over to the portfolio. Word of caution. There are a few shots that feature graffiti with strong language. If you are easily offended, skip over the ones you see the graffiti in the thumbnails. Consider yourself warned. Otherwise, head on over to my portfolio, and see what I got!
Omni Lens Studios Cosplay Portfolio
Cosplay Fun at Omni Lens Studios
I've been curious about Omni Lens Studios for a while, as I have driven past it for a quite a bit, as it is a local business in the Ephrata, PA, USA area, very close to where I live. After meeting up with the group on Facebook, I decided to attend their cosplay photo shoot event on July 3.
Walking into the studio is cool. Very cool. Every inch of the place, including the bathroom, can be used as a photo shoot spot. There are so many interesting details, right down to the colorful to the steampunk, to the goth. Fantastic. Oh, and the dark EDM playing in the background, spot on.
I had a great time! The event was open to both photographers and models, both professional and amateur. I couldn't decide which to do. So Chad Geist, the mastermind behind Omni Lens Studios, said I could do both. Neato!
I really don't do cosplay, but I did dress up weird, just for fun, and brought some of my hoops with me. (I do have one outfit, but I'm debuting it at an event on Saturday, which you should totally come to.) I modeled, took some photos of others, and talked photography shop with people.
There were a wide range of cosplayers there. Lots of DC Universe characters, and some great anime outfits. Someone was Abby from NCIS, and The Crow showed up for photos, too. I love seeing people's creativity and thought in their outfits!
I did learn a few things.
- I am out of practice with strobes. I've worked with strobes before with the Lancaster County Photography Meetup, but it's been a while. Some of it eventually did come back to me, but I need to work with them more, for sure.
- I need to be more creative when posing models. I can pose myself generally for photos as a model, but when it comes to directing people myself, I need to be more, well, direct.
- I need to relax. As usual, when I'm with a group of new people, I tense up and get weird. I know I was in an unfamiliar environment, but the people were nice, and it was a good crowd!
Photos will be forthcoming, both that were taken of me and taken by me. In the meantime, hop on over to Omni Lens Studio's Facebook page, and check the place out!
"Proud to be in America" Photos
Yay! The French family that belongs to my photography meetup group just got their green cards! As a celebration, one of the meetup members organized a "Proud to be in America" picnic to honor such an occasion.
The picnic was located in Overlook Park, Manheim Township, PA, USA. It was a lovely day outside, a tad warm, but otherwise gorgeous. The picnic started off with a photo walk around the park, which had some pretty interesting details and scenery around it. Here are a few of my photos.
What a great day!
Oh, I couldn't resist bringing some of my hoops along to the picnic, too. Adults and kids alike got into the hooping action, which you can read about here on my hooping blog. In fact, here's a photo of my friend Diane giving hooping a shot.
If you would like to see the rest of my photos from the picnic, I encourage you to head on over to my portfolio site to check them out!
Purple Coneflowers in Binn's Park
I'm glad I had my iPhone with me the other, because the purple coneflowers are blooming in Binn's Park, Lancaster, PA, USA, and they are gorgeous.
I always think of purple coneflowers as harbingers of summer. Once they bloom, I know it's getting hot outside. Know the herbal supplement echinacea? Well, you're looking at where it comes from.
Here's another one of the blooms I saw in the park.
I like the lighting in this one, actually. What do you think?
I just wanted to do a quick Friday post to share these photos. Have a great weekend!
The Grid
I'm a big fan of using the Rule of Thirds, so that's why I like using the grid on my iPhone when taking photos. (The grid is automatically added in your camera app. It's even available for selfies.)
In fact, that's why that grid is there; it's there to help you compose better photos, if you want. When I went to Ocean City, New Jersey, USA on Saturday and got my phone out to take some photos, I decided to use that grid and see check out my results.
Here's the first photo:
I lined up the light post vertical line on the left hand side, and made sure the bird was right at the point where that line and top line intersect, which is pretty much how the Rule of Thirds works. It made for a pleasing composition with this photo.
As for the second one, this is what I got.
It was such a clear evening, and the moon was beautiful of the ocean. Along with the kites, I tried my best to line up the top kite at one intersection, and the moon at at another. For taking a photo without zooming in, I think it turned out decent.
So, that's how I use the grid in my iPhone, in case you were wondering why it's there. I hope that help you our with taking photos on your phone. Happy shooting!
Color Feature: Purple
You'd ask me a child what my favorite color was as a child, I would tell you without skipping a beat that it was purple. While other little girls were obsessed with pink, I was in love with purple.
Over the years, my favorites have changed, but mostly I adore jewel tones and black. Luckily, some shades of purple are jewel tones. I am still infatuated with purple today.
I belong to a photography group on Facebook that has photographers post a photos based on a theme (or not, if you are so inclined), and today's is purple. No problem for me to share those photos!
I thought I'd share some purple-licious photos with you on the blog today, such as the clematis variation from Longwood Gardens above. Granted, there are a lot purple flowers in my collection, but I tried to find other purple objects to share with you as well. Let's get started!
I took this photo of this dog at an pet gathering in a local park. What a sweet old girl in her purple fringe and leash!
Besides and avid photographer, I am an avid knitter! Here's a photo of purple yarn that I took just for fun.
This girl was sporting a purple kilt the PA Renaissance Faire.
This is my cousin Hayley a few years ago at her brother's wedding, donning a beautiful purple dress. (She'd probably kill me if she knew I was posting this!)
This was taken during an photo experiment I did with back lighting and gel filters over the lights. I got good silhouette results with that shoot.
I hope you enjoyed my purple-y post today! It's fun to feature photos on a common color, and it was fun for me to go through my catalog and see what I have on that theme. Thanks for reading!

Product Description
"Brilliant and very influential . . . stands up as an impressive and enduring work of philosophy, outstanding in its sweep, clarity and penetration."― Colin McGinn, Times Higher Education Supplement
"When these lectures were first published eight years ago, they stood analytic philosophy on its ear. Everybody was either furious, or exhilarated, or thoroughly perplexed. No one was indifferent. This welcome republication provides a chance to look back at a modern classic, and to say something about why it was found so shocking and liberating."―Richard Rorty, London Review of Books
From the Back Cover
Naming and Necessity has had a great and increasing influence. It redirected philosophical attention to neglected questions of natural and metaphysical necessity and to the connections between these and theories of naming, and of identity. This seminal work, to which today′s thriving essentialist metaphysics largely owes its impetus, is here reissued in a newly corrected form with a new preface by the author. If there is such a thing as essential reading in metaphysics, or in philosophy of language, this is it.
What Other Items Do Customers Buy After Viewing This Item?
Customer Reviews
Top Customer Reviews
The book itself is split into three lectures - Kripke can be summarised as arguing against the Frege-Russell thesis (the idea that proper names in natural language can be analysed as definite descriptions or as clusters of definite descriptions). His modal, epistemic and semantic arguments are contributions to this. He introduces the notion of rigid designation to support his claim to a causal-historical theory of reference for proper names, and extends this in the third lecture to a semi-Aristotelian scientific essentialism, a consequence of which is, if water is H2O, then water is necessarily H2O.
It's not intended to be hugely accessible, but it transpires that it is because it was given as lectures. If you want a more modern take on what is a very important debate in philosophical logic, then buy this book. If you don't, don't buy it.
The title is no snappy gimmick, the book simply does what it says it does: the book concerns the old analytic/synthetic distinction, sharpened by Frege and later framed as 'necessary' versus 'contingent'.
But if we name something, then is calling it such a 'necessary' or a 'contingent' truth? If this book melts your brainn a bit, and it certainly did mine, then beware that rather too austere logical-positivist tradition.
But if logic appeals rather than frightens, always room for one more inside. Try it and see?

TVT looks to contend for league title under new coach
First-year TVT boys basketball coach Jamie Stopnitzky is excited about the opportunity and prospects of coaching at his alma mater.
"We're very young but we have a great group of juniors and younger players who are hungry and ready to make a make a statement," said Stopnitzky, a 2006 TVT graduate and basketball standout. "We should be a serious force in OC basketball.
"My biggest challenge is to get these guys to play as a unit. We feel that a realistic goal for us is to win league and advance into the playoffs beyond the first round. We want to take our program to the next level."
The Lions are playing their last year in the Express League.
Starting next season TVT will compete in the San Joaquin League. The Lions are coming off a successful 2012 campaign where they captured the Express League championship with a 9-1 record and an overall mark of11-5.
The Lions squad consist of 13 players: no seniors, 7 juniors, 4 sophomores and 2 freshmen. Stopnitzky plans to use an all-junior starting lineup:
The guards will be Jacob Ast and Alton Heller. The forwards will be Ryan Maister and Josh Neutel and the center will be Bennett Segelman.
The back-ups will be Jeremy Neutel, sophomore/guard; Ron Menahem, junior/forward; Ben Menahem, junior/forward; Matt Singer, sophomore; Greg Stein, sophomore; Ben Student, freshman; Aaron Ahdoot, freshmen; and Isaac Abecassis, sophomore.
Segelman will start at center and is the Lions best player. His quick feet and athletic ability is going to pose problems for defenders. Stopnitzky said Segelman is extremely effective on the wing and he expects Segelman to have an excellent season. Stopnitzky added that Segelman has the potential to be an outstanding college player as well.
Alton Heller will be the Lions' point guard, along side of Jacob Ast while Ryan Maister and Josh Neutel will be the forwards. Stopnitzky will be relying on Jeremy Neutel, Ron and Ben Menahem as key reserves coming off the bench. Sophomores Matt Singer, Greg Stein and Isaac Abecassis and freshmen Ben Student and Aaron Ahdoot round out the Lions roster.
"The key is going to get the team to play as a cohesive element," Stopnitzky said. "I need a few of the other guys to have a breakout season. This team has a positive attitude and they are passionate about the game. We're up for the challenge and we feel we are going to make some noise."
"We'll be playing some stiff completion and we'll use it as a measuring stick to see where we are at," Stopnitzky emphasized. "We'll use the games to build our skills and improve as a team."

Chicago '08 Preview: Suzuki Equator shown in Truck Trend
Truck Trend is quickly becoming a thorn in the side of a couple automakers, first by spilling the beans about the 2009 HUMMER H3T in its March/April issue, and now by revealing details about the new Suzuki Equator in the same issue. The rebadged Nissan Frontier is set to make its official debut next week at the Chicago Auto Show, and the illustration provided by Truck Trend is apparently a dead-ringer for the production model. We'll have to wait until next week for all the details, but Jalopnik was kind enough to post a scan of the yet-to-be-released pickup. You're looking at it.

Any good sports cameras soon?
Aug 2, 2012
Are there any good non-DSLR cameras that can handle fast action sports on the near future horizon? Basically, I'm looking towards some future superzoom to cover those needs. That's the only thing that has me hanging on to my DSLR gear.
Anything in the rumor mill?

I need to generate a Proxy Tiket using the CAS client API for a target URl like this: https://host.com/wms** The special characters ** are necessary because the request can attach after the proxy ticket generation some parameters. It is possible to do this or it is manatory to use the strictly target url rappresentation?
Thank you in advance
