SO my actual point of this topic is, what are some weird junglers that are your faves that seem kinda goofy, but somehow kinda work?
Nothin' like doing swain's walk through the jungle though.
lee sin and udyr
very unpopular in the jungle
o_O how would that even work? Guessing you need an incredibly strong leash on blue, followed by a slow jungle route until you hit 6. I don't even know what the jungle build would be.

It does but it's 40 bonus damage at level 1 E.
My favorite mage junglers are morgana, Cassiopeia, karthas and cho'gath.
Oh well I didn't really prepare to go jungle swain but I can tell you what I did.
I started out on blue I with cloth armor and 5 hp pots and just used standard ap runes and masteries. I had my team leash blue for me the same amount as any other jungler, I started with E for that. I did drink an extra hp potion though on blue as I wasn't really runed or masteried for it.
Put a point in W and went for a level 2 gank vs a level 1 lane, got a kill. Then went back to farming jungle, but I noticed I was a bit weak here and taking too many HP pots so I paniced and tried to rush wriggles but I got a few more ganks off and ended up hitting 6 soon and then I sold wriggles got catalyst and boots, and went and got blue buff, then you clear jungle FAST and swain still has crazy ganks.
Swain has DoT for people who just barely get away, a great root, AND a slow. I just ran around clearing camps and ganking. Even if Id idn't get any ganks pre 6 I could have gotten the madreds thing and life steal thing of wriggles and would have gotten to 6 fine just had to be a bit careful [you can root the camps, then damage then while they are rooted to take less damage].
Even times I didn't have blue though and only had catalyst and blasting wand I cleared camps easy with good mana. Swain ult + his E and maybe his Q obliterates camps fast enough you only have to be in ult form for a few seconds.
One time 3 enemies, a morde, TF, and gangplank came to try and counter me as I took my blue, I wasn't even very fed at this point and with my top lane teemo coming to help, which didn't have a lot of items yet, fought them off and we got blue and I never lost hp lol. Rooted them lazer birded them ulted and Eed while teemo shot them and then got blue.
No one counter jungles swain! [well not that game anyway haha!]
But yeah it worked out, and I didn't even have anywhere near the runes or masteries I would have had if I had planned to do it. It was goofy but fun!
Swain ganks having red buff, + laser bird slow, + root, + E DoT for people running away are LEGENDARY!

Sonny, if voting made any real difference, the politicians would have outlawed it long ago.
A familiar note is produced.
It's the note Desolation plays to keep its instrument in tune
Oh yeah I used to love jungle taric. Yeah it is a bit goofy and not ideal but if you actually look at taric's skill set, he is almost 100% made to be a jungler.
Seriously look at what he has. His passive gives him mana back from jungling. His Q keeps him healed up high in the jungle. His W gives him more of an often vital stat for junglers, Armor! Along with allowing him to reduce the armor of minions for faster clears. And then his E makes for some of the best ganks in the game, along with his ult to make his team do more damage in a gank.
When I go jungle taric I always build him weird though. I often actually go Tanky Dps with him with maybe a few auras and it works VERY well late game.
I just learned how to post replays so here it is of that game actually.
Keep in mind this is like the second time I ever played swain... ever.
So be nice =P

text: This is my 12 cruise. We started in 1969 on an Eastern Steamship (Star of the seas) and have cruised on 5 different cruise lines.. I rate this cruise a 3 out of 5. On embarkation we were delayed until 7:30 pm to board ship. This was not RCCL's fault because the port was closed due to fog (Galveston). But we still had to buy a 7 day drink package even though most of the bars were closed and we were limited to only certain brands of liquor that could be bought while in port. I drink Jack Daniels and that was not one of the brands. The Ship did not depart till 8AM the next day. Also very little food could be found because most of the restaurants were closed.. The cabin and staff were very nice. But I found that some of the bartenders were not that good. (they could not make a Rob Roy or didn't know how. ) Our cabin, and not only ours but many others had only hot water for 1-1/2 days so we could not shower. My son's cabin had only cold water for those days. Also the Toilets would only work sometimes because of a vacum line problem. The food in the dinning room was OK even though I ate the same thing almost every night. I did not like the choices. The waiters were great. I prefer anytime dinning on NCL instead of mytime dinning on RCCL.. The windjammer buffets were OK. I rate the food 7 out of 10. The refurbished ship was nice. I saw a few things that could have been done that weren't like a piece of countertop at the poolside bar was missing. We were 400 in our group and had a good time. ESPECIALLY our Mardi Gras party with the Nic-L beer band on last day at sea.

Criticism Against Gundam AGE Shocks the Script Writer

I agree that the story is so bad that I want to cry each episode. It offended my intelligent. It's not because I'm a fan of old school gundam, I speak as a scrip writing student. This kind of story won't even score B at the end.
First, they spin off so many "key element". They didn't explain how bad the Mars settlers was. They didn't explain where their resources and technologies come from. They didn't even show the development of the Vagant hostilities. Bam... just a random event and they can all blame the Earth to abandon them to their fate. That's totally bullshit and lack of creativity.
Second, the animation quality is bad, lack of detail and have too many "wasting pose". They are too lazy to draw extra movement frames to made the show more flowing. If this is poor funded, I can understand. But, this is a big company project, it's a disappointing truly.
Finally, they left all the side character look like shits. They are lack of depth and hardly have a story to tell. The character development is also very very bad. I can't even imagine that this kind of story is even make it to the market. Code Geass is famous for the character depth because each of them has something to tell and secret. These elements drive people to the movie to find out. It's also help to cover the plot and twisted it when needed. In AGE, it's like a blank page. If any said that AGE is not really bad, they didn't take it properly.
I didn't touch the character design at this point, because it's not accurate to blame on it. But I can't deny the fact that, the design won't fit in with this story.

There are many legitimate gripes to be had against AGE, writing most of all, but at least in the battles, AGE is far from badly animated. Stylistically it doesn't work for a lot of people, but that's different.
According to Hayao Mizayaki standard, AGE animation is pretty bad. Not as bad as Seed Destiny but if you track each frames during the battle you'll see how badly they draw the details. They did try to cover it by let the side characters, grunt in "Stand and Die" mode. While look at Unicorn you can see how badly a grunt soldier struggle to survive. They didn't need flashy effects, just show the actions "properly". Even though this is common problem for weekly TV series but, they can do better than this.
Not only that, they forgot some small detail such as "pressure loss" when shooting from inside a space factory. Around season 1 when an UE MS shoot through the wall and fly through it to space. It can be spotted very easy. If someone just take it too easy, they won't see these "errors". And Mizayaki will kick these guys out of his company if he's in charge.

Because comparing a 50 episode TV show that explicitly targeted younger audiences to a high budget theatrical release from the most well known director and animation studio in Japan makes any sense at all.
What the?
For a student of film you seem to have serious misconceptions about all this.
He's well know for his strict animation quality. But bringing out budget problem as an excuse is cheesy you know. When making a TV serie, is it not the quality is your priority ? If they can't maintain the quality, it's because they are not good enough.

You forgot the pacing. Seriously, The whole 2nd arc finale seems like it was just made up the night before.
I mentioned about the first part. They try to skip many "explanations" and rush the story to fit the schedule. If only they developed the story properly. However, I need to explain it better. I also feel that the pace is too quick. But blame their "genius idea" of zipping 3 generations into 1 season. However, I feel that the studio is not good enough to handle the project.

You really don't understand, then, that's clear. A TV series will never have a ¥/minute budget approaching that of a Ghibli film. The comparison is completely absurd.
I totally understand it well. It's not just about money, it's about how actually you can do with that kind of budget. Miyazaki philosopher is to create quality animation and it's supposed to be the standard for animation students/apprentices. Same thing you get from your animation school. If they can't make quality product, they shouldn't get the job, just leave it to the better studio. I said that I can tolerate for their lack of qualities, but there are many other similar TV series can do better than this. Try to compare Fate Zero then. Wait, it's same studio for Gundam Seed. The epic final battle did blow.
It's all about how you want to get the job done. It's possible to enhance the quality as long as they have the determination. And I hate people who used excuse for poor results.

As far as I can see, even the Game system like Gunpla Builder with AGE concept has been forwarded from the beginning. However, they can't cancelled them all, it's already in motion and cannot be stop. Now, they have to reap what they sow.
Too bad, it's not as just planned. So, next time they should invest they money wiser, the lesson should be learned the hard way.

Personally, Gundam AGE kind of ruins the whole "original" series. First, what happened to the dark theme of hatred and what not? I know it's "dark", but what happened to the epic grief of people dying and seeing the characters bail their eyes out seeing their close ones killed. I only watched episode 1-14, and it's gotten quite boring. Comparing this to all the other series, I would consider this the most boring of them all. Secondly, what's with the art/characters? The Gundams themselves are fine with me, but really? A kid piloting a mobile suit? I know they're trying to appeal to kids, but at least keep the teenage/adult people as the main characters/pilots. Personally this Gundam series does not appeal to me.

Youre the worst sort of Gundam Fan who probably only knows 00.
And cmon, episode 14? Watch Asemus Arc, its much more nicer done.
And yeah, in terms of dark:
Asemu arc was better than Flit arc but still nothing much to expect. The characters deaths is damned boring because we hardly know anything about them, we can't sympathy for their fate, that's why it's so lame to begin with.
Vagan side invade the Earth and outnumbered the Defensive force, what a brilliant plot. For nearly 30 years, the Earth force let a bunch of Colonist piss on their face. Look at Zeon, the conflict ended after 1 years because they are terribly outnumbered. Ok, this is the so-called "plot" I'll let it slide.
You are pro-AGE to begin with though :) In term of dark, they should have exploit how bad Vagan have endure, how many people died back there. Just show their struggle, that'll be fine. They can exploit more about Woolf past and his connection, etc. But other than "3 generations" the rest is just blank paper. Boring like hell.

Lack of deaths or not being dark enough isn't the reason why gundam age fails horribly.
It didn't fulfill the basic fundamental that makes every gundam series proper ; the idea of 2 sides of faction warring each other and the people mix in it. That means ; viewers should be able to sympathize towards both sides .
I view gundam age as rather weak character and story , i do understand the vagans as the victims, but without proper settings to humanized the vagans , until now it is still hard to sympathize with them.
What is even worse, i actually root the earth federation more than the vagans ?!??! I mean c'mon , if you like the earth federation in gundam , the antagonist's side is totally under portrayed.
What about zehearth u said? No, he is a bad portrayal of antagonist .Disillusioned by the leaders of vagan's dream to make a heaven on earth for the vagan , this guy is just pathetic, what about his own path ? his own resolve ? ain't got nothing.

It has more death than a ton of other Gundam shows. I don't see why you view the amount of death to be something that a show needs to have anyway, but AGE has had several major characters die already.

He said a lack of deaths is not the problem, i.e. there are enough deaths. (I admit I had to read it twice to straighten it out myself.)
Ah, shit, thanks for pointing that out, but you're right. Dude needs to work on his English.

Ohhh, that was horribly written , sry bout that , i'll re-edit it soon .
and yes, ,number of deaths is enough in gundam age , but side-characters' development in gundam age is highly ignored , hence the fail.

Some 23 hopefuls for local, state and federal offices are expected to participate in today's Primary Election Candidate Forum.
Hosted by the Fort Scott Area Chamber of Commerce, the event will be held at the Danny and Willa Ellis Family Fine Arts Center on the Fort Scott Community College campus, 2108 S. Horton. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and the forum starts at 6 p.m. Larry Gazaway, from 103.9 KOMB radio, will be the moderator.
Usually the forums are held at Fort Scott Middle School, but the Ellis Fine Arts Center can accommodate more people, so Chamber Executive Director Lindsay Madison is hoping for a larger audience. The primary is Aug. 7 and the general election is Nov. 6.
At the state and federal level, redistricting has changed the boundary lines of some of the districts and created new ones. Incumbent state Sen. Bob Marshall, R-Fort Scott, is facing Republican Jake LaTurner of Pittsburg. The winner of that contest will square off against Democrat Gene Garman of Pittsburg.
"I think this particular election is extremely important for Fort Scott and Bourbon County," Madison said, adding that the chamber is not taking a position on the election. She noted that Marshall lives in Fort Scott and people can ask him questions and offer input.
"Regardless of that, I think it's just very good to be informed when people go to the polls and not just vote for a name or even a party, but actually know where the candidates stand on the issues," Madison said. "The public is invited to submit questions before the forum starts. The questions would need to be submitted before the forum begins, but everybody is invited to submit questions. ..."
Marshall, who plans to attend tonight's forum, said his main issues are economic development and transportation. "Jobs are probably the most important thing to the state right now," he said. "One of the most important things for Southeast Kansas is the completion of U.S. 69."
When he kicked off his campaign in January, Marshall said he thought he had a "pretty good advantage," but now the race has likely tightened up. "That's just a natural thing that has to happen," he said. "... I'm working like I'm 10 points behind."
Marshall's district now includes the township of Chetopa in Labette County and Baxter Springs and Columbus, none of which were in his area before redistricting. As a result, the retired U.S. Marine has to increase his name identification in those areas while protecting his base in Bourbon County and Pittsburg.
LaTurner, who Marshall beat for the Senate spot in 2008, worked for U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins, R-Kansas, for four years. "It was a wonderful experience," LaTurner said. "In that job, I focused mostly on constituent services, so for example I'd help a veteran get his benefits straightened out with the VA."
LaTurner, 24, said he thinks he can make an "enormous impact" in Topeka.
"I'm not interested in being anyone's lapdog. I want to work and negotiate with all parties involved and I want to listen to what the voters of Southeast Kansas want," LaTurner said. "In Topeka, it's like Washington. You have to be careful not to get entrenched in any one person's point of view. ... At the same time, it's important to maintain good relations with everyone. ..."
Garman, who has been chairman of the Crawford County Democratic Party for two years, is a retired U.S. Postal Service letter carrier and retired from the United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters. He currently works for Pittsburg's Parks and Recreation Department and USD 250 in Pittsburg.
Garman's main concern is getting people a living wage. With minimum wage at $7.25 an hour, Garman said that's not enough to support a family. He would like to see it raised to $8.25 an hour, but he doubts he could get that passed. "That is a poverty level wage; you can't raise a family on that and yet that's what they pay. That's what I get paid working for the city and the school district," Garman said. "... It's a shame and I know some of these people that have no income. They're in debt up over their ears. It's sad; we need to help them out."
All candidates running without opposition in the primary election will be given an opportunity to give up to a five-minute statement. Individuals representing candidates not in attendance will be given an opportunity to give up to a three-minute statement.
Candidates facing an opponent in the primary will be given the chance to make a one-minute opening statement.
Audience questions will be submitted on cards and be screened by a specially selected committee. Three questions will be asked of each office. Candidates facing an opponent in the primary election will be given one minute to respond to each question.
Candidates facing an opponent in the primary election will be allowed to ask the candidate one question. Rebuttals will be allowed in their three-minute closing statement.
The order of the forum will run with federal candidates going first, followed by state and then local: U.S. House of Representatives, District 2; Kansas Senate, Districts 12, 13; Kansas House of Representatives, Districts 2, 4; Bourbon County commissioner, Districts 1, 2, 3; Bourbon County Clerk; Bourbon County treasurer; Bourbon County register of deeds; Bourbon County attorney; and Bourbon County sheriff.

"Star Wars" and sports have a lot in common.
When they're good, both bring joy and excitement. When they're bad, disappointment and despair.
MORE: NFL stars and their 'Star Wars' counterparts | 'Star Wars' NFL mock draft: Which character can help your team?
Before recent installments of the sci-fi saga, fans felt great anticipation. Will it be good or will it be like last time? Ditto sports fans before a new season or, perhaps, before the postseason.
Yes, "Star Wars" fans and sports fans — often the same people — share a lot of the same emotions. Likewise, each production in the franchise has a corresponding sports-team doppleganger.
Here's a look at those dopplegangers. There are probably other examples, but these just felt right. We'll start with "Episode IV: A New Hope" because, well, that's just the only way it should ever be done.

In the coming centuries the world's population has exploded. The earth is crowded with cities, animals are nearly all extinct, and drought is so widespread that water is rationed. There are no maps, no borders, no numbered years, and no freedom, except for an elite few.
It is a harsh world for an orphan like Nadia Stepan. Growing up, she dreams of a green vacation spot called Lighthouse Island, in a place called the Pacific Northwest.
When an opportunity for escape arises, Nadia embarks on a dangerous and sometimes comic adventure. Along the way she meets a man who changes the course of her life: James Orotov, a mapmaker and demolition expert. Together, they evade arrest and head north toward a place of wild beauty that lies beyond the megapolis - Lighthouse Island.

Poet, memoirist, and novelist Paulette Jiles was born and raised in the Missouri Ozarks and moved to Canada in 1969 after graduating with a degree in Romance languages from the University of Missouri at Kansas City. She spent eight years as a journalist in Canada, before turning to writing poetry. In 1984, she won the Governor General's Award (Canada's highest literary honor) for Celestial Navigation, a collection of poems lauded by the Toronto Star as "...fiercely interior and ironic, with images that can mow the reader down."
In 1992, Jiles published Cousins, a beguiling memoir that interweaves adventure and romance into a search for her family roots. Ten years later, she made her fiction debut with Enemy Women (2002), the survival story of an 18-year-old woman caged with the criminally insane in a St. Louis prison during the Civil War. Janet Maslin raved in The New York Times, "This is a book with backbone, written with tough, haunting eloquence by an author determined to capture the immediacy of he heroine's wartime odyssey." The book won the Willa Literary Award for Historical Fiction (U.S.) and the Rogers Writers' Trust Fiction Prize (Canada).
In her second novel, 2007's Stormy Weather, Jiles mined another rich trove of American history. Set in Texas oil country during the Great Depression, the story traces the lives of four women, a widow and her three daughters, as they struggle to hold farm and family together in a hardscrabble world of dust storms, despair, and deprivation. In its review, The Washington Post praised the author's lyrical prose, citing descriptions that "crackle with excitement." Stormy Weather became the fourth selection in the Barnes & Noble Recommends program.
A dual citizen of the United States and Canada, Jiles currently lives on a ranch near San Antonio, Texas.
Blood at the Root

AMELIA ISLAND — Florida State defensive end DeMarcus Walker watches footage of NFL players — from perennial All-Pro J.J. Watt to departed Hall of Famer Reggie White — so he can absorb their techniques.
He hopes someday soon he will be in the pros. Maybe a college athlete will mimic his pass-rush moves in the future.
Walker carefully considered expediting that process and making a jump to the NFL after this past season. He recorded 10.5 sacks as a junior and mulled over the pros and cons of leaving school early.
"We found out as much as we could, and he made a choice," FSU coach Jimbo Fisher said. "I think he trusted the information he...

Kosher For Passover Lawsuit
by Adam Dickter
Staff Writer
Photo Galleria:
As thousands of Jewish families prepare to feast on the finest kosher for Passover fare at hotels and resorts around the world this month, an unusual ruling in Manhattan Civil Court has paved the way for a kosher catering group to try to recover $24,050 in a breach of contract claim against a Brooklyn man. A lawyer for William Rosenfeld had sought to dismiss the suit by the Glatt Boys (who claim Rosenfeld booked a trip for himself and 15 relatives last year at Kutshers Country Club, but never showed up) by arguing that a 10-day food-filled getaway constitutes goods, rather than services. Business law states that a sale of goods of more than $500 is not enforceable unless there is a written contract." Anyone who has ever gone away for Pesach knows that when you get back, people don't say how was the horseback riding or the synagogue services, they say how was the food," Stuart Blander, the defendant's attorney and son-in-law and one of the intended Passover vacationers told The Jewish Week. "That proves that the principal element, and the predominant purpose is the food. Food is goods under the Uniform Commercial Code, which governs transactions. "Neither the Glatt Boys, nor their lawyer agreed to comment on the record about the case, which was first reported in the New York Law Journal. But in an affidavit in response to the motion to dismiss, the Glatt Boys submitted a list of possible activities at the 2004 Kutshers vacation, including tennis, indoor baci ball, racquetball, swimming, Yiddish theater, Swedish massage, wine tasting and a makeover face lift show. "The Court has no basis to dispute that, for [Blander], the very essence [of the experience] is the presentation and enjoyment of abundant, frequent and high quality kosher for Passover cuisine," Judge Jack Battaglia wrote in January. "But a review of the characteristics of the 'program' ... leads the Court to conclude that the very essence of the family and communal 'experience' is defined primarily by 'services' and not by 'goods.'" On that basis, the absence of a written contract was not sufficient to dismiss the suit. No trial date has been scheduled, and the case is currently in the discovery phase. Blander said he may still argue in court that dispute was over goods, not services. But the key issue remains whether there was a contract.

[MLS ALL-STAR GAME]Of the five players All-Star coach Steve Nicol will add to his squad to face English club West Ham United next week in Toronto, three of them - according to a source -- will be Red Bulls striker Juan Pablo Angel, Houston goalie Pat Onstad, and Revs' attacker Steve Ralston. That leaves two more players to be named by Nicol and an additional two picks from Commissioner Don Garber to round out the 18-man roster.
Onstad will probably be Houston's only representative, since the Dynamo and D.C. United play a makeup game at RFK Stadium next Tuesday, just two days prior to the All-Star Game. A fierce lightning storm suspended play in their June 4. It will be replayed in its entirety after officials stopped play in the 16th minute.
Eleven players were selected by balloting conducted amongst fans, players, media members, and coaches/general managers. The MLS All-Stars play West Ham at BMO Field in Toronto July 24.

I remember (featuring the holmes brothers) - Jungle Brothers
I remember (featuring the holmes brothers) by Jungle Brothers
[ VERSE 1: Mike G ]
Remedies for house parties stayed simple and plain
Little wine, little music, little Mary Jane
Gotta keep the lights dim, so when the people walk in
The vibe stays nice and mellow, everybody fits in
And everybody hey and ho, are gettin they groove on
The record only stops when the lights came on
Then they went back off, we continued to groove
Then somebody grabbed the mic like they had somethin to prove
It was just the spirit got em, it wouldn't let loose
There right before our eyes hip-hop was produced
The fire kept on burnin like a doggie in heat
You couldn't help to feel the flavor as you walked through the streets
Everybody had a crew on every block for blocks
This seemed to be insurance that the beat won't stop
So one day shots ring and it was no one to blame
All you thought was would it ever all be the same
But if you got the love, baby, won't a damn thing change
As long as you remember it always remains
[ CHORUS: The Holmes Brothers ]
I remember
When we used to play shoot-em-up, bang-bang
I remember
When we used to play shoot-em-up, bang-bang
MC's and DJ's (2x)
[ VERSE 2: Afrika Baby Bam ]
Block parties jam-packed, the first time I heard rap
And deejays spinnin breakbeats back
These were the last good days of the ghetto
It wasn't all about bein jiggy, so save that rap for Jell-O
Down on my knees in the street playin skelly
Rushin upstairs to see _Graffiti Rock_ on the telly
With one eye on the beats droppin
I knew that one day would come when I'd be on the mic rockin
Every day after school practisin
I mixed blues smarts with street smarts, and then started battle rappin
But for me it wasn't happenin
So I changed up my style, to the ladies been mackin
I wrote a rhyme about 'Roxanne, Roxanne'
I used to bust it out when I went to a jam
My mother read the dirty rap
She said, "You ain't gon' go too far expressin yourself like that
Disrespectin black women
And what's gon' happen when you turn around and try to have your own children?"
So I changed up my style once again
So me and my moms could still be friends
My daddy wasn't buggin out so far
Watchin me pretend to be another rap star
Through my eyes he saw a child changin
Growin up to be a man and leave behind the shootin, bangin
[ VERSE 3: Afrika Baby Bam ]
Now this one goes out to the ones who set it off
And all the pioneers that made it what it was
Cause we been doin this for 25 years long
So we gotta represent and keep hip-hop strong
JBeez, we on a plateau, ain't nothin stoppin us
Will with the spirit of God, now watch it jump in us
Cause when you cut the roots off the family tree
All you leave behind is the sweet memory
Right from the start, we did it in the park
It wasn't for the money, and it came from the heart
But in these days and times, when rappers write rhymes
All we think about is signin on the dotted line
Me, I been thinkin about the way it used to be
When before you was a rapper, you became an MC
I'm proud of my heritage, and glad that we made it
I still bust rhymes without bein player-hated
Standin on the same stage, rockin with the JBeez
Was a dream come true for a brother like me
Before rap was consumed, and hip-hop was doomed
I was bangin on tables, rhymin in the lunchroom
I used to walk the street with my ghetto blaster
My brothers on the block was startin Zulu chapters
You know what I'm talkin about if you go way back
And yo, big ups to all my sisters, in the name of rap
Cause when it comes to hip-hop, you know you gotta keep it true
Take from the old, mix it with the new
I used to go by the name of MC Shazaam
But now you know me as Afrika Baby Bam

Today's guest post is written by Keredy Andrews.
The evolution of technology has moved the PR pitch away from hard copy press releases to the phone and email, but now reporters are busier than ever. Emails too easily get lost in the melee and when you catch them on the phone, they often don't have time to listen to a pitch and ask you to send an email.
So how do you get their attention?
Over the past year or so I have been using Twitter to contact journalists. It's not only an extremely useful platform to get their interest, but it also helps you to get to know their work, to create a rapport, and to spot media requests; all of which are integral to being a good public relations professional.
The worlds of the media and PR agencies are both fast paced so the immediacy of Twitter enables both parties to take advantage of reacting to trends and breaking news – stories can be imagined, written and published within an hour if it's a hot topic.
One of the first rules of pitching a story is to ensure that it is actually relevant to the publication and the journalist or you will end up wasting your time and theirs. Research previous articles and their areas of interest and tell the reporter exactly why you think they will be interested in the story. It immediately demonstrates you mean business.
Following journalists on Twitter can give you additional insights even if they only tweet in a personal capacity because it gives you the opportunity to interact and build a relationship. Plus, as with any influencer on Twitter, retweeting can be a great way to let the person know you're interested in their field and what they have to say.
To keep an eye on particular journalists through Twitter, I recommend putting them in lists so you can quickly view an edited stream and can easily see if the journalists relevant to your business are looking for a comment or are researching an article.
In my experience, if you can react quickly to a request, the coverage results can be excellent, and this, when compared to the effort of creating and pitching a press release, can be a much better use of precious time.
In the UK, #journorequest is a popular hashtag used by reporters to find interviewees, commenters, competition prizes, photo shoot locations, PR pros for particular companies, stats, and more.
Finally, here are three ways in which Twitter has helped me in media relations.
- Pitch. "Are you interested in?" and "When's the best time to call you today?" Find out if they are attracted to your angle and arrange a call when they are happy to give you their full attention.
- Alert. "I've just sent you…" and "Did you see?" Use Twitter alongside email to draw attention to the materials you have sent via email.
- Thank. "Thanks for your time." and "It's a great article." You should always thank journalists because it costs nothing to be polite and it goes a long way towards building on-going rapport.
To conclude, just one word of warning: Twitter PR is as public as you can get! Beware of using the platform to spam or to sell in to the masses as each journalist can see exactly who else you're trying to pitch. This will turn journalists off from using your angle if they suspect the news will be everywhere anyway.
Do you already use Twitter for PR? We'd love to hear your experiences and advice.

@djsampson Hi, thanks for your comment. I take your point and it's a very valid one. However, getting hold of someone by the phone or email is just not as easy as it was so why not use a different tool to build that relationship, find out their availability or point them towards a story. I find it's the same with any medium, each individual has a preference for communication and sometimes it's Twitter so I don't believe you can rule it out.
Twitter should absolutely be used to build a relationship, not to pitch. Unless explicitly being asked for, engaging with journalists via any social media channel is to open up the door for conversation, learn about their interests and coverage, and then (after several time, and if appropriate) use a personal email (never even a phone call IMO-disruptive) and propose your idea. I never use Twitter to contact a journalist.
@smccollo agreed, can't stand when people go straight in to a pitch with no relationship building or even an introduction!
@YasinAkgun@smccollo But the question is: Do you think it's ok to use Twitter to call a reporter's attention to a pitch if you already sent them a customized, personal email pitch? I have seen others do that and seems like it can be effective. Thoughts?
@JGoldsborough@YasinAkgun@smccollo Just last week I did exactly that and after a few exchanges she realised my email was going to her spam box. We both made light of it and also of the fact that I kept having to chase her…. now we have a better relationship and I'm waiting for the coverage to appear!
If done right, absolutely. The idea is that you already have a relationship built by the time you are emailing them anyway, so doing a double check via social media should not be bothersome to them. A cold email followed by an unsolicited twitter shout out may actually harm your attempts though.
Second time is a charm, Keredy! Sorry about the snafu last week. I've had a few very interesting wins by using Twitter to engage with reporters. The biggest one is that I have a weekly column with our business journal because of it. This is just about building relationships and Twitter is the tool. If you try to spam them, it won't work. But if you build the relationships and do the work, they pay off.
@Keredy Andrews I've also noticed a big shift in where journalists are getting their sources…it's in the comments of the stories they've already written. We do a big push with our clients on this kind of stuff. If they leave smart comments, the reporter typically calls them.
@ginidietrich That's really interesting and something I'll look into more. Thanks!
wow thanks for the tip about #journorequest!
@YasinAkgun No problem. I'm surprised there aren't more of this type of hashtag. Such as #PRpitch or similar for us to use where journos can go.

As a graduate student studying Corporate and Organizational Communication I really enjoyed your take on using twitter for effective media relations.
@ToddBartlett Thanks, Todd. I was just wondering, do you cover social media communication on your course – I tend to think academia is a little behind!
@Keredy Andrews In my media relations course we did spend a good amount of time on social media. Northeastern University professors do a great of integrating offline and online communication strategies into their curriculums. My specialization is also in Social Media and Online Communities so I will be taking five courses that solely focus on social media and digital technologies.
@ToddBartlett@Keredy Andrews Wow, I'd love to find out more about what you do in your specialization. We never have such courses here.
Very interesting to see how you used Twitter to build rapport with journalists. Are they really that approachable? Journalists here don't seem to be that open and friendly here haha :S
@janwong I wouldn't say all it takes is a 'hi there' on Twitter but it's part of your communications tool box. I've spoken to some very lovely ones in my time but also some extremely rude ones!!!
@Keredy Andrews Ah.. so they are all the same 🙂 But makes me wonder though – why be on Twitter if they are not open to talking to new people.
This is incredibly insightful and I'm glad to have stumbled upon this. Will be passing this link around my agency for more social media-centric pitching strategies 🙂
@stellery Hi, glad you found it helpful 🙂

Great advice a useful explanation of exactly how you can effectively use Twitter for PR. I think sometimes people forget that Twitter is public and everyone can see what you are doing. It hasn't replaced email due to the character limit but it can enhance it.

I don't want you diehard longs who BASH SHORTS, coming along and posting you bought shares, but post AFTER THE FACT.....
As you recall, I posted I wanted LONGS to run this "TURD" to my $5.40 price to go short and the stock ran up to $5.50.
That's "REAL TIME", so make sure you do the same big guy lol.
keep bashing. it's getting ready to bounce and you know it. I'm going in more around this area
Sentiment: Strong Buy
halfwaytoabillion....dude #$%$ are you talking about? You say "I'm going in more around this area" Are you serious? OMG you've truly turned out to be a small fry who talks big huh.
Do you even know what posting in "REAL TIME" even means?
ps. The stock is back up from 4.12 to 4.45, so even if you post right now that you bought more shares, no one is going to believe you bought lower than when you posted. GET IT DIP STICK?
My REAL TIME UPDATE just for you. As you know, I shorted here at my real time priced posted here at $5.40 per share.
I just watched this drop to $4.12. I'm not a "GREEDY" man, so I just covered at $4.18 to 4.20 on a buy to cover market order.
HOWEVER, if I see this drop below 4 as I fully expect it to and if I go short again, I'll post said short in real time here.
Good luck on your LONG buy albeit you failed to tell us at what price you added at. Come on now, be accountable OK....
this is where the smart people buy in heavy. The trend is your friend and we are now sitting on an upward trendline. The spread is increasing. You know what that means, don't you shorty? : )

HP Pavilion dv7-6c07eg
Average of 2 scores (from 3 reviews)
Reviews for the HP Pavilion dv7-6c07eg
Refreshed. HP has improved its multimedia laptop, the Pavilion dv7, by adding a graphic card from the new AMD Radeon HD 7000M series. This high-performance desktop replacement (DTR) laptop has a few weaknesses, but its great price-to-performance ratio is guaranteed to entice buyers.
Source: Gadgetmix
For less than 1000 euros the HP Pavilion dv7 laptop is a very capable multimedia or gaming outfit. It slightly suspect keyboard and mouse buttons disqualify it from serious office use, but only ultra-hardcore gamers could be disappointed in its performance. We strongly recommend upgrading to the HD version. Pick up hp vouchers before you make your purchase.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.

Large display-sizes allow higher resolutions. So, details like letters are bigger. On the other hand, the power consumption is lower with small screen diagonals and the devices are smaller, more lightweight and cheaper.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.

Mariotti: Independent, Cutting-Edge Radio
Missed part of the show? Here?s a rewind of the program on August 16, 2013.
The Mariotti Show streams live M-F noon to 3 ET.
Hour One on The Jay Mariotti Show: August 16, 2013:
Jay denounces Alex Rodriguez as the worst of all sports scumbags amid reports that his camp leaked the names of Ryan Braun and his Yankees teammate, Francisco Cervelli, to the media in the Biogenesis scandal. Jay also worries that MLB's public-relations war with A-Rod is damaging the game on the field and will mar the postseason. Jay talks to NBC Sports Radio's Mark Malone, asks him how he's functioning as a former NFL quarterback in his 50s who has taken many hits to the head and body -- he's doing well -- and they debate which of the league's young QBs will continue to prosper.
Hour Two on The Jay Mariotti Show: August 16, 2013:
Jay takes callers on the latest A-Rod issue. Jay interviews KISS legend Gene Simmons about sports, life and his new ownership of a new Arena League team -- Los Angeles' lone professional football franchise.
Hour Three on The Jay Mariotti Show: August 16, 2013:
Jay says he'd like to purge A-Rod from his consciousness but can't -- because A-Rod is appealing and the arbitrator is in the South Pacific (not really) and won't rule on the case until November or later, which allows A-Rod to keep playing and remain a potential impact player in pennant races. Jay previews his Las Vegas trip this weekend and wonders how he got wrangled into a Robin Thicke pool concert. He asks for Vegas recommendations and sounds overwhelmed by the wildness ahead.
Missed part of the show? Here's a rewind of the program on August 15, 2013.
The Mariotti Show streams live M-F noon to 3 ET.
Hour One on The Jay Mariotti Show: August 15, 2013:?In a year when small-market teams again are faring well in baseball -- Pirates, Rays, A's -- the Dodgers have emerged as a $230-million monster on the hottest 48-game streak in MLB since 1942. Jay wants to know if the Dodgers are ``hateable'' the way the Yankees have been. He concludes no, largely because of Vin Scully and Dodger Stadium, and he dreams of a Dodgers vs. A's/Rays World Series. Jay thanks the heavens that expanded replay is coming to baseball. And Jay, even after the Tom Brady Scare That Wasn't, reiterates that too many ACL tears and other injuries are happening in the preseason -- and urges the NFL to minimize the preseason and training camp.
Hour Two on The Jay Mariotti Show: August 15, 2013:?Jay says this is a bad week for Fox Sports 1 -- and the network hasn't even launched yet -- and applauds ESPN for the hiring of Jason Whitlock as another quality ``niche'' analyst. Jay applauds MLB for officially approving expanded replay, wondering what took so long and also worrying that already-slow-and-dawdling games will last longer if managers opt for the maximum six replays per game. Jay-M thinks Jay-Z can't miss as an agent because athletes want all the perks he can bring, but also thinks Jay-Z will tire of the egos and demands and stick to his hip-hop empire. Jay-M raps along to the Jay-Z tune that mentions Robinson Cano and Scott Boras. Jay-M remembers the day Lil' Wayne appeared on ``Around The Horn.'' Jay thinks the comeback of Michelle Wie is pretty cool -- she went to Stanford, matured and returned to golf.
Hour Three on The Jay Mariotti Show: August 15, 2013:?Jay talks about the multi-dimensional focus of?mariottishow.com?and a video he taped on the Tampa Bay Rays and their ``tin can'' dome -- and how the team inside is overcoming it all with smart front-office people and a hip manager. Jay talks NFL quarterbacks and predicts Michael Vick will not be the Philadelphia starter under Chip Kelly. Jay discusses expanded replay and how commissioner Bud Selig, due to retire next year, finally is gettting around to all the problems he should have fixed years ago.

The Mariotti Show airs and streams live M-F noon to 3pm ET.
Hour One on The Jay Mariotti Show: August 14, 2013:?
Jay calls Robert Griffin III ``the most important young athlete in America'' and wonders why he must engage his coach, Mike Shanahan, in a play-me-in-the-preseason debate when protecting his reconstructed knee should be the priority. Jay also projects the second seasons of Griffin, Colin Kaepernick, Russell Wilson and Andrew Luck and asks if each will rise, stay stagnant or fall. Jay takes phone calls on the topics.
Hour Two on The Jay Mariotti Show: August 14, 2013:?
Why is Pete Rose still banned for life when Alex Rodriguez, a twice-caught PEDs cheat/liar, avoided a lifetime ban? Jay then applauds MLB owners for finally getting around to expanded replay, though 10 years too late with the current technology. Hugh Douglas was fired by ESPN, and Jay recounts the life-in-a-bubble scrutiny of his eight-year ESPN experience. Dallas Cowboys, not surprisingly lead the NFL team values list at $2.3 billion, and Jay asks why owner Jerry Jones can be such a great businessman while being such a lousy football man. William Perry is not dead, contrary to reckless Internet reports, and Jay wonders again what has happened to journalism and corroboration in reporting.
Hour Three on The Jay Mariotti Show: August 14, 2013:
Jay concludes that Russell Wilson will have the best year of the four sophomore QBs, and says Seattle is his NFC favorite to reach the Super Bowl. Jay calls Nick Saban the best college football coach ever and says he deserves more attention and reverence. Jay interviews Greg Couch of Fox Sports about Saban and the continuing issues of Johnny Manziel. Jay predicts Fox Sports 1 will be a dud and discusses a report that commentator Jason Whitlock is leaving Fox for ESPN.

Hour One on The Jay Mariotti Show: August 13, 2013:?
Jay introduces Jimmy Roberts from the Golf Channel, and they discuss Tiger Woods and?whether he can pass Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 major titles.?He launches a discussion about Johnny Manziel and whether the ongoing stories about autograph signings for pay will cost him eligibility at Texas A&M . He thinks Alabama vs. Texas A&M will be a bigger event than anything we will see in the NFL for the next few months. Jay states that Tim Tebow is important to "The Patriot Way," and explains why he will make the team. He speaks about the death of a fan at Turner Fields in Atlanta and how we can prevent these tragedies. Lastly, he covers MLB and the lack of diversity in TV broadcast booths.
Hour Two on The Jay Mariotti Show: August 13, 2013:?
In hour two, Jay takes calls from listeners and answers questions about the lack of African-Americans in network TV baseball broadcast booths, and MLB diversity. He discusses if it's unfair to keep Pete Rose banned for life when Alex Rodriguez?is not. Jay also applauds Albert Pujols for suing Jack Clark over reckless steroids comments.
Hour Three on The Jay Mariotti Show: August 13, 2013:?
Jay continues discussion on Manziel, A-Rod, and Pete Rose. He discusses Hard Knocks, and advances his Robin Thicke pool party in Vegas.

Hour Two on The Jay Mariotti Show: August 12, 2013:
Jay declares Tiger Woods will not win another major and is destined to leave a bittersweet imprint on the world. He wonders why fans yell ``mashed potatoes'' at major golf tournaments and sees a culture clash looming in a traditional country-club sport. Jay asks why Alex Rodriguez is still playing after a 211-game suspension -- where's the arbitrator? -- and bemoans how he could alter pennant races.
Hour Three on The Jay Mariotti Show: August 12, 2013:?
Jay reintroduces the?mariottishow.com?format. He launches a discussion about Johnny Manziel and calls him the most significant college football player ever, if also a ticking bomb who could self-destruct. He says Alabama-Texas A&M will be bigger than any NFL game on the immediate horizon. He thanks his callers and listeners and says he's happy to be back.

Colors for Cabinets & Wall To Look Less Heavy?
If the cabinets will look ridiculous painted a light/white color, I don't want to waste the money on painting (especially since cabinets will be pricey to paint). Instead of painting (if it would look silly), might try to sell and just buy new in a year or so. REALLY rather work with it though. Thoughts?

Generally, there are numerous types of disaster relief architecture and design in the market today. What is more, the trend keeps changing, thus making it very hard to predict what will come next. There is an increasing demand for disaster relief tents, clearly indicating that some people in some parts of the globe are really suffering. Many market experts claim that the huge turn in demand is largely due to natural calamities such as flood, tsunami, earthquake and more. People in disaster prone regions are rendered homeless by these calamities and are therefore left yearning for miraculous help.
It is under such circumstances that disaster relief tents and all weather shelters become a blessing. These tents provide the victims with temporary shelter for a long period of time. In a situation where massive downpour causes displacement of people, special caution has to be exercised when providing disaster relief tents since mere negligence can cause further disaster. The tents have to be strong enough to withstand harsh weather conditions. However, this shouldn't worry you much since most manufacturers today produce tents that very solid and have semi-permanent structures. There are other important considerations you have to make when providing disaster relief tents.
Things to Consider When Providing Disaster relief tents
For starters, the most ideal disaster relief tents should be easily portable and installable. Most architecture have linked with disaster management agencies to ensure that they get information on disasters in good time. Furthermore, most disaster relief tents can be installed by a maximum of two people. They are also made of strong materials that can withstand harsh weather conditions. Victims can therefore enjoy maximum comfort in these tents. Technological advancement is also a major factor in the improvement of disaster relief tents. A good all weather shelter should be made of high quality materials such as FR, Vinyl, and more. These materials are highly resistant to sun rays and heat. These tents must be taken through wind load tests to ensure that they can withstand strong wind.
As aforementioned, there are so many companies around the world offering disaster relief tents. However, the supply is still low as compared to the demand. The growing rate of natural disasters in the world has seen the demand for all weather tents rise drastically. This has in turn led to the production of low quality tents by some inept manufacturers who want to make a quick buck. Most companies are now stocking tents and produce them when the need arises. Another important thing about disaster relief tents is that they come at different prices mostly depending on the kind of materials they have been made from.
Generally, an authentic all weather shelter is fairly costly. This is mainly due to the cost incurred during its production. However, if you do your research well you will find high quality tents at a reasonable price. Do not compromise the quality of your tents with price because low quality tents can worsen the situation. Make sure to compare different tents from different online architecture to ensure that you get the best quality before ordering .
