I had the opportunity last week to be part of my very first commercial/infomercial. I can't say that was ever really high on my list of things to do, but it was pretty interesting to be a part and see how it's done. It was not like Day 4 on the Elite Series, when you have a cameraman in the boat with you. On those days, the tape never stops rolling and you don't get to retake a shot. What you get is what you see on Day 4.
The subject of the commercial: BassCat boats.
The location: Smith Lake in northern Alabama. Beautiful place to film a boat, or any outdoor, commercial.
The cast of characters: Yours Truly as K-Pink and Marty Stone, aka Mr. Clean, aka the King of Sheen.
Film by Mark Maness, aka Chunky-M, the chief video dude for the Strike King Pro Team Journal, among other things.
Technical support: Mike Redfern, aka Black Lung.
Still photography: Chris Brown of Chris Brown Creative.
Executive Producer, Head Cat, and Chief Boat Wiper: Rick Pierce. Now you have to understand that any production with R. Pierce is just that, a production. It's hard to drive across town for lunch without having an adventure along the way. There is never a dull moment.
The fun started on Monday afternoon when I pulled up to the registration house at Smith Lake Park to check in for our cabins. The lady behind the desk was apologizing profusely to a "Mr. Pierce" for some "inconvenience". This can't be good. She said she would call him back in a few minutes. She hung up the phone and dialed another number.
"Holiday Inn Express? Are you located at the 304 exit? No? Thank you."
She hung up and dialed again.
"Econo Lodge? Are you located at the 304 exit? Do you have any rooms available for tonight?"
Definitely not good. Sounds like the cabin crew is out.
The next call is to "Mr. Pierce" during which she apologized again and gave him the phone number for the Econo Lodge at the 304 exit.
"Can I help you?"
"Was that Mr. Pierce on the phone Mr. Rick Pierce?"
"Yes it was. Seems that someone forgot to tell him that we don't supply linens for our cabins."
The adventure begins.
So I'm hugged up at the Econo Lodge at the 304 exit. Room 127. It's okay. I've stayed in a lot worse, though not recently. Of course this from a man who has spent over 150 nights on the road and only five of those in a hotel and those five were at the Hyatt Regency, no less. What do I know about hotels anymore?
The first of the crew to arrive is Black Lung. I call him Black Lung because he smokes. Cigarettes. A lot. We sat in room 127, until he lit one up, then we moved to the parking lot. Blackie and I sit, chat, and solve some of the world's problems. Chunky-M rolled up in his van and unloaded a ton of camera equipment into room 126. Mr. Clean, the King of Sheen, is next on the scene. We all have a sit down and solve a few more of the world's problems. The Head Cat showed up and we head out for some grub. It's 19:45 hours on Monday evening.
Over a luscious spread at the local Ryan's, we formulate our plans for the next day. Since I'm at the bottom of the food chain, I speak only when spoken to. I know that's hard to believe, but hey, I'm a virgin when it comes to this commercial stuff. This is a little different from me fishing my ass off while Wes the Camera Stud holds up a 25 pound hunk of plastic and aluminum on his shoulder while praying to some higher power that he gets "the shot" when the moment of truth arrives. This actually involves a little planning — not necessarily a script, but just some direction on what the Exec Pro wants to see on the tape at the end of the day.
The Head Cat laid out his idea of what he wants to see in the commercial; some low-light, slick water, maybe some fog, running shots at first light, WOT (of course). How can you have a bass boat commercial without showing a boat hauling the mail? You can't, so we do it. Next on the list are some bullet points on what we, Mr. Clean and I, like about a BassCat. How long is this? 30 seconds? Ain't gonna fit.
The early a.m., fog, slick water part of the plan calls for an early wake-up. That is something I haven't done for a while. 05:00 to be exact. I was showered and in the parking lot and ready to roll at 05:45. Chris Brown (no aka, just Chris B.) has joined us. He pulled in late the previous evening after a coaching stint for a girl's soccer team. They won. We are at the Hardees next door for biscuits at 0550. Headed to the pond at 06:25. We had a little delay in the parking lot of the Hardees. We had to stand around and gab like a bunch of old ladies for some reason.
We pulled up to the ramp at Smith Lake Park at 06:40. Got fog? Like a London Mackinac. I'm not sure I can see the opposite side of the creek and it can't be over 150 yards across. Not good for running shots.
We waited. We wiped off the boats. We waited some more. Chunky-M said we should get some footage of the boats in the water while the light is low and the fog is thick. We dropped the hulls in the water. Getting Chunky's footage took all of 10 minutes. So we waited some more.
At 08:15, we decided to idle out around the corner and see if the fog has lifted. It hadn't. We sat in the fog in the middle of the lake for a while. It lifted a little. We idled further out into the lake. We sat some more.
Finally at 09:30, we're hooked up, on pad, and filming. The first run was pretty bad. Mr. Clean and Chunky are in Clean's boat chasing me in a new Puma FTD that is smokin' fast. Halfway through the run, I looked at the digital speed readout on the GPS and it reads 81.4. Holy Felines, Batman! Is that American miles per hour? Is there an exchange rate here? No wonder I ran off and left the chase boat.
After a couple of stabs, we got our timing down where I'm staying out of it enough for Clean and Chunky to keep up with me while keeping the hull flying and looking good. I learned while shooting stills earlier in the year for the BassCat website and 2009 catalog that keeping a boat running across the water at speeds in the mid- 70's while another boat runs beside you less than 20 feet away is not an easy task. The photos and video make it look like a piece of cake. It's not. Don't try this at home. I have no idea how Chunky-M gets any decent shots as we're rocketing across the lake that fast. Dude must be the Human Tripod or something.
11:00 hours and Chunky finally got some footage of both Clean and I and both of the hulls we brought to film. We headed for the ramp to do the face stuff and the interior shots of the boats. The face time part of the commercial consists of some quick bits on what we like about BassCat Boats. No make-up. No script. No gaffers or grips. Just Clean and I talking boats. Some of the footage will be used for commercials on ESPN2 next season and part will be used to create a 5 minute DVD for BassCat dealers to use in their stores and at boat shows. Pretty cool.
You'll have to check it out to see what Mr. Clean and I like about the boats. Keep this in mind when you see me; I screwed up not necessarily every time I opened my mouth, but I did have several takes. Chunky will probably have to do some serious cutting and pasting to make me sound good.
In the middle of the face time there was the concrete saw. The concrete saw that never ends. Seems that the crew at Cullman County Parks picked that day to demo the old swimming pool. Had the concrete saw and the jack hammer running a few hundred yards from the pavilion we had pulled up next to in the park. Dude could hold that saw for a long time, too. Nothing like a little background filler. We worked around it though.
By 14:30 hours Chunky had shot 30 minutes of video on BassCat Boats. It was a wrap. It should be interesting to see how it all pieces together. I'd been up since 05:00 and still had a six-hour drive to Mayflower. The biscuit from Hardees at 06:00 is long gone. Oh the joys of stardom in the bass fishing world.

Customer review by well77334
I am disappointed in the service provided by wayfair thru walmart. I will not order any product from walmart again that comes from wayfair. The package arrived missing parts. I called customer service at wayfair. The rep was very personable, polite appeared to solve the issue. I received an email stating when I could expect replacement parts to ship by. They did not do this in the time they specified. I have not as yet received the parts. The product is not in use as we can not assemble it. The complete hardware assembly package was missing, the instructions were missing and the box contained two large plastic ziploc style bags that were empty. We have no idea if all the product pieces are even there. I am disappointed. At the price we paid I would expect better.
Customer review by Emiloulou
We bought this to make it easier for heavy people to get in and out of our pool. It works great However I wish the rail at the to of the ladder was more sturdy. It is ok on the said with the down going hand rail but the other side is flimsy.

years and had some precious negatives destroyed by water damage, by

Product Description:
This anthology pays homage to the sleazy days of grindhouse theaters by compiling three low-budget exploitation films. In the crime drama COP KILLERS, two beatniks go on a murder spree after shooting several police officers who arrested them for cocaine possession. The gruesome thriller TENEMENT follows a gang of drug addicts who seek revenge on the residents of a dilapidated South Bronx apartment building. Finally, the slasher film DON'T GO IN THE HOUSE stars Dan Grimaldi (THE SOPRANOS) as Donald Kohler, a maniacal construction worker who seduces women and brings them home in order to burn them alive.

Grindhouse Psychos Movie Lover: Ryan Switzer from Sayreville, NJ US -- April, 20, 2008
First, Cop Killers. This movie is awesome. A Grindhouse Classic. Besides the terrible music and poor acting of the ice cream man, I cannot get enough of this movie. The ending is great, kept me on the edge of my seat. Tenement was entertaining for about half an hour. I think I read too much hype about the flick and expected too much from it. The gang is lame, the residents are dumb, and the movie is sub-par. Don't Go In House.....Don't Put It In the DVD Player.

Pentax Optio S1 Digital Camera Review
Does this model's performance live up to its shiny, shiny exterior? We let the lab tests decide.
The Pentax Optio S1 is an attractive point-and-shoot that looks more expensive than it is. Unfortunately, it still performs like a sub-$150 model. Our lab tests returned strictly-average scores for most applications, but a decent feature set keeps this camera competitive.

The thing is: Richard Heritz is 85. And the inmate who was supposed to receive the weed is his grandson, Gregory.What was the last present your grandfather got you? Was it a birthday check for the same amount of money as your age? Maybe some socks? It was probably not 22 grams of pot: Richard Heritz, of West Chester Twp., stepped onto the grounds of the Warren Correction Institution Aug. 13 to visit his grandson. Gregory Heritz had been incarcerated at the prison for two years, and had eight more to come from a burglary conviction out of Butler County, according to prison records. Before Heritz saw his grandson, he was pulled aside by state troopers, who were acting on a tip they had received. A few hours later, Heritz was behind bars as well, accused of attempting to smuggle marijuana onto prison grounds. Every single grandfather out there wearing a "World's Best Grandpa" t-shirt or sipping from a "World's Best Grandpa" mug needs to ask himself: Would I smuggle three quarters of weed into jail for my grandson? And then hang his head in shame. Advertisement [Dayton Daily News]Reply57 repliesLeave a reply

Lowell placed on the DL
The Red Sox did more than leave Mike Lowell out of their starting lineup for Game 4. They placed him on the disabled list with the hip injury that has limited him for the past few weeks.
He started two of the first three games in this series, went hitless in eight at-bats and was unable to move in the field.
"He's hurting today," Sox manager Terry Francona said earlier this afternoon. "He showed up today very sore. He's been looked at by the trainers. I've spoken to him a couple times. The doctors are probably down there now. We'll get him looked at. We have some decisions to make."
They made that decision, placing him on the DL a little while later. The move also makes Lowell ineligible if the Red Sox advance to the ALCS.
In his place, the Red Sox added infielder Gil Velazquez to their active roster. Velazquez was a September callup who went 1 for 8 in his first three major-league games. He hit .260 with 10 home runs and 46 RBIs in 101 games in Triple-A.

Video Object Extraction and Representation: Theory and Applications / Edition 1by I-Jong Lin, S.Y. Kung
Pub. Date: 09/30/2000
Publisher: Springer US
"If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them. " - Henry David Thoreau, Walden Although engineering is a study entrenched firmly in belief of pr- matism, I have always believed its impact need not be limited to pr- matism. Pragmatism is not the boundaries that define engineering, just the (sometimes unforgiving) rules by which we sight our goals. This book studies two major problems of content-based video proce- ing for a media-based technology: Video Object Plane (VOP) Extr- tion and Representation, in support of the MPEG-4 and MPEG-7 video standards, respectively. After reviewing relevant image and video p- cessing techniques, we introduce the concept of Voronoi Ordered Spaces for both VOP extraction and representation to integrate shape infor- tion into low-level optimization algorithms and to derive robust shape descriptors, respectively. We implement a video object segmentation system with a novel surface optimization scheme that integrates Voronoi Ordered Spaces with existing techniques to balance visual information against predictions of models of a priori information. With these VOPs, we have explicit forms of video objects that give users the ability to - dress and manipulate video content. We outline a general methodology of robust data representation and comparison through the concept of complex partitioning mapped onto Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs).

Excellent 4.3 /5 from 111 reviews
Brief visit to Geneva; nice hotel, good location.
Excellent hotel
we always stay at this hotel.It has lovely views of the lake but is also in the center of town and very near the old town.Excellent staff and service
Great location. The staff is very friendly - our room was amazing and as requested on a high floor, non-smoking and a water view. We ate in the restaurant both nights - food was fabulous. My only complaint is that for the price of the stay, breakfast should have been included. Otherwise, great hotel and excellent location.
My husband stayed at the hotel on a business trip. He tells me that the room was clean and updated. The location for his business purpose was great. Can not comment on the restaurants because he did not dine at the hotel.

Many writers make the mistake of thinking that bigger is better when it comes to defining a book's target audience. Logically, it seems to make sense: they want to sell as many books as they can, so they want to find the biggest pool of people to market to. That line of thinking is all about the numbers; the bigger the number, the bigger the opportunity to succeed. So the author designs a generic strategy in order to appeal to as many people as possible. They believe that if a potential reader is simply made aware of their book, then surely they'll take a chance and buy it.
But by choosing this "big pond" approach, those authors are being overlooked, and they're missing the opportunity to stand out in a smaller pond. What authors should do instead is look for ways to make their target audience smaller.
Find an element of your book that will resonate with a specific group of people and reach out to them. What you're looking for is a niche market. Dictionary.com defines niche market as "specialized and profitable part of a commercial market; a narrowly targeted market." The key word in that definition is "profitable."
An example of a niche market is fly fishing enthusiasts. Let&rss assume that you've written a murder mystery that features a protagonist who is a master fly fisherman. You'd be well-served to pursue fly fishing blogs, magazines, websites, clubs, etc. Let them know about your book. Offer them review copies. Let them know you're available for an interview, personal appearance, or whatever else they need.
You'll have much better success being a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a big pond.

We've all heard of the traditional "book tour," in which an author travels around the country making the rounds of late-night TV, afternoon talk shows, radio stations, etc. However, those people are usually big celebrities who could be selling dish soap, and people would still want to listen to them (they also probably didn't even write the books they're promoting, but that's a whole other blog post...).
For the rest of us non-Hollywood authors, we're on our own.
One effective alternative for indie authors, especially those on a budget, is to engage in a virtual book tour. Here's how it works:
If this sounds like too much work for you to manage on your own, there are many companies that specialize in setting up virtual book tours (often called blog tours). A simple web search should get you going!

A new trend in book promotion is "article marketing" in which authors submit unpaid content to websites such as ehow.com in hopes that it will lead to internet exposure and eventually book sales. Personally, I'm not a big fan of that approach because the articles on those sites (often called "content farms") tend to be very generic, not well screened, and often produced through what seems to be translation software. However, the concept behind article marketing is excellent. I spent nine years working at a PR agency, and we used this strategy a lot for our clients. Here's how to do it right if you're an author:
Major publications usually don't accept contributed articles. However, smaller operations such as trade magazines, school alumni magazines, even regional club newsletters, do. For example, if you're a financial planner, and your book is a practical guide to saving money, there are many publications and websites that would love a short article called "10 Tips for Saving for Your Dream Vacation." If the media outlet prints the article, your name, short bio, and maybe even a photo will appear at the beginning or end of the piece. Tack on "author of XYZ" to that bio, and everyone reading your informative article will know you also have a book they should immediately run out and buy.
Article marketing may sound complicated, but believe me, it's not! It just takes some focus, effort, and perseverance.

100 True Fans? Is Small Really the New Big? - Bob Baker's Indie Music Promotion Blog
The quality of your fan base is far more important than size of your fan base.
Weekly News Roundup - February 1, 2013
If you're reading this blog post, you've probably either written a book, you want to write one, or you're somewhere in the middle. No matter where you are in the process, here are three resolutions for you:
1) Finish your manuscript (If you're done, then polish it.)
2) Publish it (If you've already done this, focus on the following resolution.)
3) Market the heck out of it
It's really that simple. If you really want to write a book, publish a book, or market a book, just do it! That's all it comes down to in the end.
To finish the manuscript: Sit down and write. Then do it again tomorrow. And the day after that. And the day after that. Start with just 500 words a day. Then once you've reached about 10,000 words, strive for 1,000 words a day. Then once you've reached 40,000 words, strive for 2,000 words a day. If you need a break, take two days off a week, just like a weekend. But force yourself to write at least five days a week. If you follow this regimen, in three to four months you should have a first draft. Three to four months. That's less time than your average celebrity marriage!
To publish it: If you go the indie route using print-on-demand technology or just want to publish an eBook, your book can be ready for sale this week. I'm not kidding. If you'd still like to get an agent or traditional publishing deal, resolve to take steps to make that happen in 2013.
To market it: The key to book promotion is consistency. Do something, however small, every day to spread the word about your book. Book marketing, especially for indie authors, is a never-ending process, and it takes time to build up a following. If you don't have a clue where to begin, read my previous blog posts for suggestions (click here, here, here, or here for a few, or just search for me in CreateSpace's site search), or check out my website.
I meet people all the time who tell me they dream of being a successful author. However, while they want to have their name on a book cover, they always seem to have a list of reasons/excuses not to write it, publish it, or market it. "I'm too busy" is usually at the top.
You know what? I don't buy it. Just like when I don't buy it when people say they're too busy to stay up on current events, or to exercise. Give me a break. It's all about priorities.
Happy New Year! Now get writing. And publishing. And marketing. Here's to a successful 2013.

I conducted a workshop via webex yesterday with a mining company in Australia. It was interesting that they had a strong preference for HTML5 apps running on a cloud based mobile platform. Their thinking was that they want mobile solutions now, but they see no need to sink a lot of money into on-premise solutions and mobile platforms yet. They felt that HTML5 would give them the most flexibility and easiest implementations and deployments at this time as they mature their own mobile strategies and infrastructure and wait to see who the winners will be in the mobile platform market.

A3XIPA: Shame on Bernie, and shame on his wife. What a slap in the face for his supporters to see him stand by a corrupt and self serving party that no longer stands for what they once stood for. They were the party of the downtrodden and the little guy a long time ago. Now they represent the globalist elites, while Hillary and Bill stand to rake in millions more peddling their political influence for big money donations to their crooked foundation and Hillary's campaign. If people knew who the banks, corporations, financiers, elite legal establishments and corrupt foreign concerns are that contribute mightily for their (soon to be her) political favors, I'd suggest that real democrats would wonder what the hell has happened to their party. Slime mold is too good for these treasonous hypocrites. However, at this point what difference does it make in a country where empty words speak louder than the scaleless tape measure by which they are qualified and quantified. They are truly as useless as teats on a bore hog.

Thiensville — Police busted eight underage drinkers Saturday and ticketed three Thiensville men for providing the alcohol.
According to a department news release:
Following a report of loud music at an apartment, police responded to the 100 block of Grand Avenue at 11:55 p.m. Feb. 1 and were met at the apartment door by the three Thiensville men. The officer at the door noticed beers cans in the living room behind them.
At the same time the officer heard on another officer's radio that there was a large group of people running out a rear door. The second officer chased the group as they broke into another apartment within the complex, where they were found hiding in a closet.
The eight young men and women, ranging from 18 to 20-years-old, were all ticketed for underage drinking and resisting arrest. The three 21-year-old men who were hosting them at their apartment were ticketed for providing alcohol. In total police issued 19 citations.
This is the third underage drinking party broken up by area police since the beginning of the year. On Jan. 3 Mequon police arrested 33 underage drinkers and arrested the 57-year-old woman supplying them alcohol, and on Jan. 18 busted eight teenagers and the 52-year-old man hosting them.
