The story of the British volunteers of the Waffen-SS has long been treated with scorn and derision by the "establishment" media. After all there weren't many of them and their small unit, the British Free Corps, was somewhat comic-opera in nature. This publication at least will try and change that perception. The hard core nucleus of the BFC consisted of serious, committed individuals who deeply believed in what they were doing and stayed on until the end. Therefore they deserve to be treated with respect; they were a part, however minuscule, of the vast Pan-European Army that was the Waffen-SS and no one can take that away from them. In future generations that fact will be treated as a true badge of honor.
The BFC was an effort to navigate "uncharted waters"; no one in the Waffen-SS was quite sure if it was possible or even "legal" to recruit POWs from an active belligerent to use as soldiers of the German Armed Forces, albeit even though their service was to be directed against the Soviet Bolsheviks. That meant that the whole undertaking to recruit British and other Allied soldiers was a tentative one and was never developed as fully as it possibly could have been. The post-war British socialist government made it clear that the Free Corpsmen were to be treated as traitors by executing the founder of the BFC and bringing the rest to trial. They were, in modern day vernacular, "political criminals" or "prisoners of conscience".
The story of the British volunteers of the Waffen-SS was however a unique and honorable one—if it can be divorced from the travesty of British domestic politics—and it deserves telling in a fair minded manner, which I indeed hope this work can accomplish!

The Valley of Fear is the fourth and final Sherlock Holmes novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It is loosely based on the Molly Maguires and Pinkerton agent James McParland. The story was first published in the Strand Magazine between September 1914 and May 1915. The first book edition was copyrighted in 1914, and it was first published by George H. Doran Company in New York on 27 February 1915, and illustrated by Arthur I. Keller.[1]
The novel starts when Sherlock Holmes receives a mysterious book ciphered message from an agent to Professor Moriarty using the pseudonym Fred Porlock. Holmes deduces the book used for encryption to be a monthly almanac; however, he initially uses the latest publication, which leads him to decipher Porlock's message as a statement that the "Maharata Government is pigs bristles." Upon realizing his error and using the previous month's almanac, Holmes successfully deciphers the message as a warning that "some deviltry is intended against one Douglas", a country gentleman residing at Birlstone Manor. Simultaneously, Inspector Macdonald arrives at Baker Street with news that Mr. Douglas has in fact been murdered. Holmes tells MacDonald of Porlock's warning, suggesting Professor Moriarty's involvement. However, MacDonald doesn't fully believe that the educated and well respected Moriarty is a criminal.
Holmes, Watson, and MacDonald travel to Birlstone, Sussex, where they investigate the old manor with a moat where Douglas was shot. They meet Cecil Barker, a regular guest of the Douglas. They also find a sawed-off shotgun and evidence suggesting that it was fired at close range, causing the head to be blown to pieces. Holmes explores Barker's claims that he was in his room when Douglas was shot. Moreover, they find a mark of blood upon the window sill suggesting someone entered and escaped by going through the moat. Beside the body they find a card with the initials "V.V. 341", and on Douglas's arm an old branded mark. Moreover, Douglas' wedding ring appears taken from his hand.
The police speculate that if the murderer must have escaped across the moat, but if this was so then the question of his clothes were wet as he walked through the town. Holmes establishing the timeline of events through interviews: Cecil Barker heard the shot, rushed down to the study and upon seeing Douglas murdered he rang the servants. Mrs. Douglas and the servants rushed to the scene. Mr. Barker persuades Mrs. Douglas to return to her room. Holmes notes Mrs. Douglas apparent lack of emotion over her husband's body.
Barker says that he believes a secret society of men pursued Douglas, and that Douglas retreated to rural England out of fear for his life. Mr. Douglas married after arriving in England five years earlier. His first wife had died of typhoid. Douglas met and worked with Cecil Barker in America, before departing for Europe. Some episode of Douglas's life in America caused the fear for his life, and Mrs. Douglas said her husband mention something called "The Valley of Fear".
By studying Cecil Barker's slippers, Holmes determines Barker's shoe made the mark on the window, to give the appearance that someone exited that way. In their lodgings, Holmes tells Watson that Cecil Barker and Mrs. Douglas are certainly lying: when a shotgun is fired at close range, the sound is muffled. Moreover, Holmes learns that the housekeeper heard a door slamming half an hour before the alarm, which Holmes believes was actually the murdering shot. White Mason, the Sussex detective, and MacDonald track a bicycle found on the grounds of the house to an American staying at a guest house. The American appears to be the murderer, but there is no sign of the man.
Holmes ask MacDonald to write to Cecil Barker, telling him that the police intend to search the moat the next day. That night Holmes, Watson, MacDonald and White lay in wait outside Birlstone Manor and see Cecil Barker fish something out of the moat. The four men rush Cecil and discover the bundle from the moat contain the clothes of the missing American connected with the bicycle. Barker refuses to explain the situation. At that moment, Mr. Douglas appears, alive and well. He hands Watson a written account called "The Valley of Fear", which explains why he feared for his life.
Douglas explains that he had spotted an enemy of his, Ted Baldwin, in the area and expected an attack. When Baldwin attempted to shoot him in his study, Douglas grabbed the gun and shoots Baldwin in the face. With Cecil's help, Douglas dressed the man in his own clothes, except for his wedding ring, to deceive the secret society which he and Baldwin had belong too, since both arms bore the society's Mark. Cecil and Mrs. Douglas had covered for Douglas who had been hiding in the house. In an interview with Watson, Douglas explains that his real name was Birdy Edwards acting as Pinkerton detective in Chicago. For the agency Edwards infiltrated a dangerous gang in Vermissa Valley (a.k.a. the Valley of Fear) and brought them to justice. Afterwards, the criminals attempted to kill him, after being released from jail.
Hounded Douglas had run to England, where he met and married his second wife. Holmes urges Douglas to leave England and warns that a new threat now hangs over him. Douglas takes this advice, but shortly after Holmes learns that Douglas was lost overboard on the vessel to Africa. Holmes believes Moriarty was responsible for ending Douglas' life. Holmes wants to bring Moriarty down, but warns Watson and Barker that it will take some time to achieve.
Unlike many of the other Holmes novel which are mostly linear entertainments, Doyle crafted The Valley of Fear " two parts and a coda and carefully stage managed the elements of fear and terror."[2]
The novel has a number of major themes, including "problems of "ethical ambiguity" and attempted to comment seriously on terrorist activity [as profiled by] American labor struggles"[2] Critics have shown how the American labor struggles, deal with similar issues in the contemporary political situation in Ireland.[2]
Birlstone Manor in the novel is closely based on Groombridge Place near Tunbridge Wells, Kent.[3]

text: Year-end tax planning is stressful under ordinary circumstances, and this year is anything but ordinary. A final agreement on fiscal cliff issues before the end of the year is unlikely, but a framework for a grand bargain in early 2013 will calm markets and allow lawmakers to use a short-term extension with little fallout. The Kiplinger Letter forecasts that the temporary agreement will revive a series of tax breaks that expired after 2011, chiefly a fix for the alternative minimum tax. There are also likely to be short-term extensions of all expiring tax cuts, buying time for a longer-term deal sometime in 2013, with a pledge to retroactively address the estate tax to restore favorable rates scheduled to end December 31. As part of that longer-term deal, the Letter predicts higher tax rates for income above either $500,000 or $1 million, not the $250,000 President Obama first pushed for. But no matter what lawmakers do, there are moves that you can make between now and December 31 that will save you plenty of taxes.

Here we're going to create type on a circle--not just one circle, but two--so that the type reads correctly from the top and the bottom. So I am going to turn off the visibility on that group, and then I am going to come and choose my Ellipse tool, and I'm going to draw myself a circle. Now so that that circle doesn't end up in that group, I'm going to select the bottom layer, layer 0. So I'm going to start drawing my circle and as soon as I've started drawing, I'm going to hold down the Option or Alt key, so I can draw it from the center point.
And so that I can constrain it to a perfect circle, I'm going to hold down the Shift key. Now I'll choose my Type tool, and before I do anything with my Type tool, I'm going to come to my Character panel and from the Character panel menu, I'm going to choose Reset Character, so that we start with a level playing field, all of the default values for my type. Now, I'll just move my cursor over the edge of that path, and you can just see that when I'm on the edge of that path, I get a flowing line through my type cursor. That indicates that I'm about to input text on a path.
So I'll click right there and just start typing. I didn't check this, but I got lucky. I had center alignment, so it's a good idea to have center alignment here, so that when we do the next step, which is to increase the size of that type, the type will grow around the circle rather than aligned on the left or the right of the insertion point. So I'm going to pump that up in size, and then I'm going to come and change the font to Poplar Std, increase the size a little bit more.
Possibly, and this is going to very according to what typeface you're using and to your personal preference, possibly also add some positive tracking, but maybe not that much. All right! Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to come back and select that shape layer again, and now I want to click on the bottom of this shape layer. Now if I don't see the path, what I'm about to get is just a new type layer. Let me show you. If I click right there, it just gives me a standard type layer, not what I want at all.
So I need to make sure that the path of the vector mask is active. We know that it is if it has frame edges around the four corners. So I should now be able to click right there. To make my insertion point, I'm going to get the same size type as before. I won't worry about that. I'll just go ahead and type it in, and then I will press Command+A to select all. I'll come and change my typeface. This time I'll use the Character panel since it's already open.
I'll change that to Myriad Pro, and I'm going to dramatically reduce the size of that. I want to start out at around 48 pixels. Then making sure I'm actually in the type, I'm going to increase the size now, Command+Shift+>. So the trick now is I need to flip this around so that the type is reading the right way, and this is a bit tricky--it has to be said. I'm going to come and choose my Path tool. You'll see now I have a diamond in the middle of that area of type.
That's because it's in the middle because this is center aligned. I need to sort of flip this around and put it inside the circle, which indeed I've done, but of course the circle is black, so we can't see the type. But if I now hide the visibility on that, there is my type now inside the circle. Well, that's fine, but it does look rather confined in there. If you've been watching this title all the way through, my hat is off to you if you have been, but if you have been, you will remember when I spoke about baseline shift, I said that there was this very particular time when baseline shift might be useful when you are working with type on a circle. This is that time.
So to now move the type down so that the top of the caps of 'roundabouts' is on the same line as the baseline of 'swings', I need to use my baseline shift. So I'm going to come and click in the baseline shift field and just press the down arrow, moving that out from the center of the circle, and I may need to make a few adjustments to the tracking. Let's have it slightly less. So now the shape layer that we used to actually put the type around, or more specifically, the vector mask of the shape layer, that has served its purpose, so we can make sure its visibility is turned off.
So I'm going to change the color of my type. I'm going to choose an orange color, and let's do both layers in one go. So I'll select both, then I'll come and choose my Type tool, and I'll come and click on the color box, and scroll up and then find a nice sort of burnt orange color and that gets applied to both layers of type. In the finished version, we also had an ampersand. You don't need to see me recreate that. I'm just going to turn on the group, and I'm going to borrow the ampersand from that group, hold down my Option or Alt key, and drag that down to make a copy of that layer.
I'll come and turn off the group, and that ampersand has with it a couple of layer effects, which I'll know expand. It has a drop shadow and pattern overlay. I am not going to go into how I got them to look exactly like this. There is a whole title called Layer Effects by myself, which I strongly encourage you to check out, but I just want to mention now that I can copy those same effects from the ampersand to the other pieces of text by holding down the Option or Alt key like so and then to roundabouts like so.
So we have a nice textured letterpress effect within the letterforms as well as a drop shadow. So there we have type around a circle.

POJOAQUE (AP) - Pojoaque Pueblo has opened an off-track betting parlor in its sports bar, carrying simulcast horse racing from several out-of-state racetracks.
New Mexico's gambling law does not permit off-track betting.
But the parlor, which opened last week, might be permissible on Indian land under terms of the state's 1997 gambling agreements with tribes, state gambling officials said Friday.
Off-track betting on horse races is included in a list of games that federal Indian gambling regulations allow on tribal land, said Rosemary Cosgrove, an attorney for the state's Gaming Control Board.
The list is incorporated in the New Mexico agreements, she said.
State gaming officials have not seen Pojoaque's new betting parlor, so they cannot yet determine if it's the type of operation the federal regulations refer to, Cosgrove said.
"It's possible it falls within the terms of the compact," she said.
Pari-mutuel wagering was authorized in the gambling compacts that tribes signed with the state in 1995, which have since been thrown out.

The China Cap fire is listed at zero-percent containment Thursday night and is very active according to leaders with the U.S. Forest Service.
The lightning-caused fire is burning in a steep and heavily timbered area making it difficult for anyone to safely fight the blaze from the ground.
"Fir tends to burn really fast and put up a lot of columns of smoke," said Kramer. "Right now we've only got eight smoke jumpers, and we've got heavy helicopters and retardant air-crafts that are dropping retardant and water."
Lack of safety zones are a concern for those eight smoke jumpers on the ground. Fire managers are working on a containment strategy at this time.

FS: nearly new Salomon Symbio boots, mens 10.5
1 Attachment(s)
Ok so I picked these boots up for my wife and they don't fit her well at all. Yes she has big feet, these are a men's 10.5. She did try to wear them and spent about 3 hours riding in them, they show very little wear but you can tell they were worn a little so we can't return them. Will sell for $45 plus shipping.
These are just taking up room...make me an offer.

If you follow the NBA, you already consider Chicago Bulls' head coach Tom Thibodeau one of the best at his craft. He took a team, which won 41 games in consecutive seasons, and led them to the Association's best record the two years after. He is the fastest NBA coach to reach 100 victories.
His calling card is developing different ways to stop teams using defense. Few coaches are as adept as he is when creating a defense to give opposing teams fits.
Like most of his ilk, he has flaws.
Creating offensive schemes is not his strong suit. Partly to blame is that he has always coached Bulls teams filled with one-way players. For the first two seasons, Thibodeau had players who were defense-oriented. This pattern has reversed this year, but the results are paltry.
Derrick Rose has missed the entire season at this point, and the Bulls offense has become stagnant. Thibodeau went creative on both side of the ball to compensate for loss.

Dave Grohl has confirmed that he will be visiting Australia to help promote his documentary Sound City. As reported by The Daily Telegraph, Grohl will be touching down in Australia in March to coincide with the release of the doco's soundtrack, Sound City – Reel To Reel.
Last week Grohl revealed might bring his Sound City Players to Australia. The supergroup formed to promote the film and features members of Nirvana, Foo Fighters as well as some of music's fondest heroes, including John Fogerty, Rick Springfield and Stevie Nicks.
When speaking with The Daily Telegraph, Grohl neither confirmed nor denied the possibility of the Sound City Players coming to Australia. Grohl also wasn't sure whether he'd conduct any director screenings coupled with Q&A sessions. Whatever the case may be, Grohl will definitely make an appearance in Australia some time in March.
"One way or another I'll be there," Grohl said.
Sound City will be screened in all Australian mainland states this Thursday, 31st January.

Sept. 14, 2013
WASHINGTON - The Georgetown University football team (1-2, 0-0 Patriot League) fell behind by four touchdowns midway through the third quarter, a hole to deep to climb out of, as the Hoyas fell to Marist (1-2, 0-0 Pioneer League), 43-23 on Saturday night at Multi-Sport Field.
The loss snaps Georgetown's eight-game winning streak in night games and its six consecutive wins against Pioneer League opponents. The Red Foxes were plus three in the turnover battle, turning two of those turnovers into touchdowns to hurt the Hoyas.
Senior wide receiver Zack Wilke (Boca Raton, Fla./St. Andrew's) had a career-high 10 catches for 108 yards and a touchdown, while sophomore wide receiver Jake DeCicco had seven catches for a game-high 118 yards and a touchdown in the loss. Senior quarterback Isaiah Kempf (Glendale, Calif./Bridgton Academy) completed 35-for-52 passes with 398 yards and two touchdowns, the most passing yards for a GU quarterback since 1998.
Junior defensive tackle Jordan Richardson (Watkinsville, Ga./Athens Academy) had seven tackles and 1.0 tackle for loss for a Hoyas defense that was without leading tacklers Dustin Wharton and Nick Alfieri. Junior Patrick Boyle (Wheaton, Ill./Benet Academy) led the team with 12 tackles.
Turnovers hurt the Blue & Gray early, as Jake Marston intercepted the Hoyas first pass attempt of the game and Chuckie Looney made the Hoyas pay, capping an eight-play 57 yard drive with a six-yard touchdown pass to Armani Martin, to take a 6-0 lead after a missed extra point. The Red Foxes tacked on three more points on the ensuing drive as Jesse Signa kicked a 43-yard field goal to lead 9-0 with 7:04 remaining in the first quarter.
Jo'el Kimpela helped the Hoyas close to within three points, capping a seven-play 62 yard drive with a two yard touchdown run, his second of the season. The Hoyas could not convert the extra point, to make the score 9-6 with at the 9:30 mark in the second quarter.
Matt MacZura (Cranberry Twp., Pa./Central Catholic) tied the score with 3:21 remaining in the first half, making a 44-yard field goal, his first of the season, pulling the score even at nine.
Marist would take over on the next drive, going 79 yards on six plays to score once more, as Looney rushed in front six yards out to give the Red Foxes a 16-9 lead going into the half. Looney opened the third quarter with a 12-yard touchdown pass to Joe Tralli to take a 23-9 lead early in the third quarter. It took Marist one play to score on its next drive, before a GU fumble allowed the Red Foxes to score four straight touchdowns to take a 37-9 lead with 4:09 remaining in the third quarter.
Georgetown would continue to fight. Late in the third quarter, Kempf kept a drive alive converting a fourth and short on a five-yard pass to Wilke. Kempf found Zack Wilke five plays later in the back of the end zone for an eight-yard touchdown pass to make the score 37-16.
The Hoyas followed that up with another long scoring drive. This time Kempf converted a fourth down and 11 on a 17 yard pass to DeCicco. Two plays later he found DeCicco on a 19-yard touchdown pass, bringing the Hoyas within two touchdowns, at 37-23.
The Red Foxes converted three third downs on its next drive, before scoring for a final time to put the game out of reach, as GU fell 43-23.
The Hoyas return to action next Saturday, when they travel to Providence, R.I. to take on Brown University. Kick-off is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. Fans can listen to a free live audio broadcast of the game on the Georgetown University official athletics website - www.guhoyas.com - with Chuck Timanus providing the play-by-play. Fans can also find in-game updates by following Georgetown Football's twitter account @HoyasFB.

MLB All-Star Game: National League Wins -- D-Backs Contribute Zilch
At three games out of first place in the National League West, the Arizona Diamondbacks would have home field advantage in the World Series -- should they miraculously make it -- thanks to the performances of Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Prince Fielder, and the rest of the NL's best in this year's Major League Baseball All-Star Game.
The National League ended up with a 5-1 victory in this year's Midsummer Classic, held at Phoenix's Chase Field, thanks to a fourth inning, three-run shot by Fielder.
The rest of the game -- per usual for a meeting of Major League Baseball's best -- was a snooze-fest.
Boston Red Sox slugger Adrian Gonzalez broke a three-year drought of All-Star Game home runs with a one-run jack for the American League in the fourth, followed promptly by Fielder's three-run shot for the NL in the bottom of the same inning.

"It was great to have the pitching set up the way it was," NL manager Bruce Bochy told reporters after the game. "It's hard to beat great pitching and a three-run homer."
D-Backs selections Justin Upton and Miguel Montero did a whole-lotta nothing in the NL's win, netting a collective zero hits between the two.
Los Angeles Dodgers right fielder Andre Ethier and San Francisco Giants third baseman Pablo "kung-fu panda" Sandoval each had RBIs to give the NL a 5-1 lead by the seventh inning -- leading to its fifth win in 24 years.
"That was part of the message, how important it was for us, and how important the game was: Do it again for the National League champion," Bochy continued.
Tonight marked the first time the NL has won back-to-back All-Star Games since the mid-1990s.
Fielder was named the game's MVP.

Pope Benedict XVI on Sunday took part in his last Angelus prayer, telling the approximately 200,000 of the faithful gathered in St. Peter's Square that he planned to focus even more on prayer and meditation after stepping down as leader of the Roman Catholic Church later this week.
"The Lord has called me to 'scale the mountain,' to dedicate myself still more to prayer and meditation. But this does not mean abandoning the Church. If God asks me this it is precisely so that I might continue to serve her with the same dedication and the same love with which I have tried to give up to now, but in a way more suitable to my age and my strength," the pope said.
The huge throng of the faithful, pilgrims and tourists filled St. Peter's Square and spilled into nearby streets.
The crowd interrupted the pontiff several times with applause.
"Let us call upon the intercession of the Virgin Mary: May she help all of us to always follow the Lord Jesus, in prayer and in works of charity," Benedict XVI said.
The pope, who turns 86 in two months, announced on Feb. 11 that he planned to step down from the papacy on the last day of this month, becoming the first pope to resign in nearly 600 years.
The papal conclave to elect the successor to Pope Benedict XVI is expected to start in the next few weeks.
Under the Holy See's constitution, the conclave should begin between 15 and 20 days after the papacy becomes vacant to give time for all of the cardinals to arrive in Rome.
The pope will travel on Thursday to the papal summer residence in Castel Gandolfo, some 30 kilometers (18 miles) from Rome, and will stay there until restoration work has been completed on a monastery within the Vatican that will serve as his retirement home, the Vatican Press Office said earlier this month.

love these jeans. i am very inspired by the 90's look of them. The high waist realy makes you look lean and slim. i also love the light color. i guess these aren't really in style, but i don't care. i love them so much! super comfy and roomy with a fitted waist. i think they look adorable rolled and paired with a t-shirt and scrunchie. well worth the cost. i know they will last for years.

Perfect! All I can say! LOVE LOVE LOVE. I kept contemplating whether to buy these pants or not because of how expensive they were but AA was giving a special promo code and I got them for a steal! BEYOND HAPPY WITH MY PURCHASE. They fit really well. A little too long since I am so petite but it doesn't matter. Everyone loved these and I got tons of compliments!

I tried these on in-store and the 29 fitted me perfectly. Most of my skinny jeans are a size 28 so I'd say these run a little small like most American Apparel bottoms. However technically, my high waist measurement is about 29~30 inches, so I'd say if you want a good fit, stick to your true high waist measurement (just above belly button). As for the fit/look - love! They really do suck you in and smooth you out and give your hips really nice smooth shape, plus they make your waist look small and are overall super flattering and comfortable. The denim is a nice solid weight and feels high quality, and this colour is GORGEOUS! Highly recommended if you want some quality 90s style high waisted jeans.

Fits well. I agree that you should get the smallest size that you can comfortably fit into because it starts to stretch and wrinkle a bit. perfect for cool days (like around 50 degrees F). I think it looks best with a leotard or a fitted crop top in a dark color. my waist is a 25, and i got a size 25...i think i might get a 24 next time though. good to wear if you want a 80's or 90's inspired look.

I rarely go for 100% cotton jeans but these fit me perfectly. My waist is 25" at the belly button and hips 36" and I usually need to buy a 27"-28" in low waist jeans because of my wider hips and thighs. I got a 25" in this and they fit great. These are not meant to be skinny jeans and some people may not be used to the fit. I do, however, recommend buying the smallest size you can fit into because the cotton will stretch with wear and mold to your body.

I thought these would be the perfect summer jeans, but they are made from a really thick heavy denim. It's great quality but would be WAY to hot for even the summer's cooler days. Also the fit was weird, tiny waist, big hips and way too long. I sadly sent mine back.

My experiment with influence scoring started a few weeks back with a post on Spin Sucks about the future of public relations.
That post begat a second post on community management as a new model for PR.
And that begat a three-point bump in my Klout score!
Earlier this month, I wrote about my Klout Bump and, because the wonderfully energetic community here was mainly responsible for it, I decided to try an experiment.
I wanted to see if I could push it higher, and also determine what types of interactions would help boost it to my goal number.
That goal? Getting to 70 – a further two point increase. (Big whoop.)
I Have a Secret
Klout scores remind me of high school grades. So a 90 would be equivalent to an A-, 80 a B-, 70 a C-, and so on. Maybe that's why my earlier analogy referenced high school popularity.
Essentially I was trying to go from being a D to a low C student. And I wanted to do this by enlisting the cheerleading squad, and not via hard work. In any environment, that's a dubious path.
But it was all for scientific research, right?
Here are the Results
Drumroll please. Or maybe a sad trombone… I did reach 70, fleetingly on one day, then again a few days later, for a little bit longer. It's now settled back to 69 (at the time of writing) and will likely fall back to its regular pre-post level soon.
That said, I'm sticking by my original offer, and giving out a couple of perks (for more on the perks, see below).
But First: What Did I Learn?
I'd always suspected an intense level of activity within a tight community over a short period of time would artificially increase a Klout score. And that seems to hold true.
But what does that say about influence scoring and actual influence? Not much. In the case of Klout, they seem to measure it over relatively brief time spans – reminiscent of day trading. Score increases aren't really there for the long-term. Whereas true influence is built up slowly over time.
And while it's fun to see the little graph increases, did I get any new clients or other opportunities from the bump? Nope. Nada. Nothing. So from a purely business perspective, this tells me it's likely not a metric I should give much credence to.
Influence Scoring < True Influence
My big takeaway centers more on the concept of influence, and the way we promise it to brands. It feels like we're positioning it all wrong. Influencers are not people who utter a command and their automatons blindly follow (at least, let's hope not).
True influence has to do with deep, trusting relationships, as well as persuasive communication encouraging people to consider another point of view.
Influence is far more complex than a simple call to action, which seems to be what we're offering. So let's stop that.
I hope the @Klout folks weigh in on this because so far they've stayed out of the conversation. I'd be curious to hear how they define influencer.
And I'm equally curious to hear from all of you.
And Now, the Perks!
First off a big THANK YOU to Gini Dietrich, Lindsay Bell-Wheeler, Yvette Pistorio, and the entire Spin Sucks team and community for tagging along, supporting me and the idea, and for all your insights and comments. I really appreciate it!
I have two prizes to offer, and if you want to know the criteria I used to make my selections, well, all I can say is it's a proprietary algorithm I developed and unfortunately, I'm not prepared to divulge what it measures. (Ed's Note: This isn't the Academy Awards, Martin.)
The Winners
Paula Kiger: For jumping on the bandwagon first, and creating a hashtag!
Rebecca Todd: For agreeing to be campaign manager and adding a Canadian flavor(u)r!
You both get a custom 'I got my Klout Bump from Spin Sucks' t-shirt (pictured above). We'll post this on the Arment Dietrich Facebook page too, and organize the shipping details there.
And now this faux-scientist bids you farewell as my Klout roll of the dice comes to an end. I'd love to hear any Klout stories you have. And again, thank you!

Great to see the results of your experiment! It might be interesting to measure whether an increase in Klout has any bearing on online product sales (as opposed to gaining clients.)
giesencreative Thanks. Maybe that's for the next one!
To the fine and forgiving editor of this blog, belllindsay – I do realize it may not be the AAs but a guy's gotta dream…
biggreenpen martinwaxman belllindsay I would like to hear more about the toilet paper party.
Word Ninja I want to hear about it too. That's where biggreenpen and I have something in common – I had a toilet paper client a loooong time ago. And a funny story that I'm always happy to share over drinks. I'm glad you like the shirt. belllindsay – thank you for being such a great editor!
martinwaxman Word Ninja biggreenpen belllindsay What have I started? A long time ago, I participated in a Twitter Party that was sponsored by White Cloud. The hashtag was something like #whitecloud (no, not #comfybottoms or anything). I can't for the life of me remember the questions/how we talked for an hour about the topic but Klout surely remembered!! It considered me an "influencer" in White Cloud!
biggreenpen martinwaxman belllindsay Thanks for sharing…I think…
Oh, I used to see bumps like this after live-tweeting an event. And I have seen people use platforms such as Empire Avenue to artificially inflate their Klout scores, long-term, even. I opted out of Klout finally because it was just so silly and the perks were no longer any good.
AmyVernon It's funny how easy it is for the so-called influence to go up or down. I'm noticing more people opting out – I guess if enough did, Klout's influence among brands would be diminished – and maybe as you mention, that's a reflection of the current perks being offered. Influence is so much more than a number between 1 and 100 – and hopefully we can stop simplifying the idea. Thanks Amy!
Forget the trombone, you'd need a stage full of violinists for my Klout score. As far as considering someone an influencer, I've never taken into account their score, maybe clients do. I don't believe clients in my industries pay attention as I've never heard the term even mentioned. What you have to say is authentic, interesting and educational…that makes you influential in my books.
Word Ninja Thank you! That's the criteria I use, too. The numbers part is a bit of a silly game. PS I'll see if I can round up the violins…
martinwaxman Word Ninja I think it's mostly marketers who pay attention. One thing that surprised me when I started using hootsuite was that when you look at your contacts it shows, among other things like # of followers, each person's Klout score. I try not to let that influence my decision over whether to follow back, but I can't say I don't notice it. Ultimately I judge on the content they tweet.
RobBiesenbach You're right about marketers paying attention. Sometimes I wonder how much stuff is just for the echo chamber (a lot…). Like you I think content and engagement are important. But it is hard to break away from the big-numbers-with-no-context-habit. Word Ninja
Just ramped up production of twcoffeemakers #soexcited MT martinwaxman today's SpinSucks RebeccaAmyTodd – http://t.co/3NzWy9XvYq …
biggreenpen Thanks!! Can't wait to see them. SpinSucks RebeccaAmyTodd
martinwaxman They're gonna be trendsetters! cc: SpinSucks RebeccaAmyTodd
@biggreenpen martinwaxman SpinSucks RebeccaAmyTodd Can you tell me more about that, @biggreenpen?
EricPudalov Eric, it's kind of a joke. When I reach a "round" number of followers on FB or Twitter, I send them a "twoaster" graphic in celebration – sort of like the old "thanks for shopping here" gift. Martin hit it just right – he was close to a round number and he needed (wanted?!) Klout so he got one too. Now he suggests I extend the line to twcoffeemakers! 🙂
biggreenpen martinwaxman SpinSucks YES!!! Martin for class Prime Minister!!!
biggreenpen martinwaxman SpinSucks I just got caught up! Thank you SO much! I will wear it with pride. Will ginidietrich autograph them?
RebeccaAmyTodd biggreenpen martinwaxman SpinSucks Sure I will!
ginidietrich biggreenpen martinwaxman SpinSucks Doubled the value.
RebeccaAmyTodd ginidietrich biggreenpen martinwaxman Ha!! Love the t-shirts 🙂
ginidietrich biggreenpen martinwaxman SpinSucks can Prime Minister Waxman's tag be on there, too? Maybe at #SpinCon…
biggreenpen EricPudalov That's because I'm much too reliant on coffee – virtual and otherwise…
@RebeccaAmyTodd That's a good idea. Though right now, I'm happy to be in opposition 🙂 biggreenpen SpinSucks
@SpinSucks Well, if Gini's signing – maybe I can come up with a couple more for the Spin Sucks folks 🙂 RebeccaAmyTodd ginidietrich biggreenpen martinwaxman
RebeccaAmyTodd As long as you write the acceptance speech 🙂 biggreenpen SpinSucks
martinwaxman And although the tshirt is awesome in itself, I really enjoyed the whole experiment! cc: SpinSucks RebeccaAmyTodd klout
@biggreenpen Glad you like it. And thanks so much for helping out!! If you ever do a social experiment, I'd be happy to take part! SpinSucks RebeccaAmyTodd klout
@biggreenpen martinwaxman SpinSucks RebeccaAmyTodd klout Loved the experiment – so much fun!!
@biggreenpen martinwaxman Wait. Do *I* get a shirt??
ginidietrich martinwaxman I'm replying to these in reverse order. Yes, you absolutely do! As long as you or yvettepistorio can supply a hi-res logo so they'll look good. Maybe they can be part of Spin Sucks Pro 🙂
Thanks for this post! I hadn't even joined Klout until I read this. Clearly I was a bit behind in that dept!! Interestingly enough, I'm just gradually raising the score, and correct me if I'm wrong, but the more I participate in social media and build a community, the better this gets?
EricPudalov Basically. Klout measures how much you talk about certain topics and how much people talk with, or about, you regarding certain topics. It's a great way to cast a wide net for potentially influential people. However, if you want to become "Klout Influential" about the topic of your choice…just start tweeting about it. Klout is ridiculously easy to game.
MattLaCasse It is really. And I liked having fun – but I think that brands should take this so-called influence measure with a big grain of salt. EricPudalov
martinwaxman Agreed. I think Klout is a great place to start looking for influential people on a certain topic, but you need to vet them out before doing anything w/ that info. Starting to be that way with "Endorsements" from LinkedIn as well. EricPudalov
MattLaCasse martinwaxman That sounds like very sensical advice! Do your research, more or less. Also sounds like a good reason not to "drunk tweet."
Your experiment simply reaffirms what I've believe personally all along about Klout – it's a great starting point to measure someone's activity in the digital world, but not a true measure of influence. As many others have pointed out in the comments, developing a true voice of authority by providing valuable information in an engaging fashion is the best way to develop TRUE influence, but having a somewhat leveled starting point is always a great place to start. Thanks for sharing, Martin!
dave_link Thank you, Dave! You'e so right about creating/curating/sharing valuable content as being the best measure!
Paula and Rebecca – there's a little surprise for you both!!!
@Yvette Hamlin Pistorio Do I get one too??
Lucky, lucky day!
@Paula Kiger I like how you define luck!
Congrats 🙂 For some reason I couldn't tag Rebecca the first time though…user error?!
Did anyone else see a bump in his/her Klout score?
susancellura That's a great question. Thanks for asking it. I'd be interested to hear other stories.
martinwaxman I did. Just a couple of points, but being more active during this research did bump it up for a day or so.
I'd like to thank my parents for deciding a fourth child was a good idea, Lil G for running this blog, my co-nominee Paula and mostly Martin for allowing me this incredible opportunity. Lastly, to my boyfriend RDJ, I would never have made it here without your love and support. Thank you all.
RebeccaTodd Such a good acceptance speech!
ginidietrich RebeccaTodd Yes! It's a great one. Can I borrow parts when I'm elected????
RebeccaTodd That RDJ…..ruining other 25-45 year old guy's lives like it's nothing..
RebeccaTodd Your boyfriend is Robert Downey Jr.?
Oh, Paula and Rebecca – can you private message me your mailing address for stalking purposes…I mean, for your t-shirts? Please and thank you 😀 ^yp
@Arment Dietrich, Inc. Done, the stalking can commence!
Ooh congrats to RebeccaTodd and biggreenpen, n'er were there a finer pair then those two
@martinwaxman Interesting results, although not unexpected. It sort of puts me in the mood to quote one of Frank_Strong's recent blog interviewees, who said "Trust…is quieter, but it's the ultimate conversion – and there's nothing that scales like it." (full link in case anyone wants to read, it's excellent – http://www.swordandthescript.com/2013/08/ian-lipner-professionalism-pr/)
Thanks JoeCardillo! I'm not surprised either – I think a lot of people have experienced something like this or figured it would be like this. Insightful quote about trust – so important in any relationship and hard to establish – though easy to ruin… RebeccaTodd biggreenpen Frank_Strong
ginidietrich Thank you so much for giving me a platform! And I think the t-shirt helped!
ExtremelyAvg Thanks! Interesting analogy about Amazon rankings/sales. I wish Klout could also show an increased score correlates to increased business results…

brechtjedeleij so true!
This was an interesting read. Bet you had fun watching the Klout graph go up! 🙂 Hope you embark on more scientific adventures soon. I'll be listening.
Nabiha Thank you. It was a fun and silly game. As I think I said before, watching it is a bit like day trading. And at the end of it I get a few insights – so that's not a bad trade.
helmatimmermans brechtjedeleij Bij elke tweet maak je gebruik van je social influence. Ook Brechtje wanneer ze over Klout twittert.
'influence' raten & rondtoeteren is niet zo … 😉 True influence has to do with deep, trusting relationships. TadekSolarz brechtjedeleij
@helmatimmermans TadekSolarz brechtjedeleij Great point – couldn't agree more.
SharpSchuette remarkmarketing ginidietrich CrazyPens30 Thanks for sharing the post! SpinSucks
martinwaxman SharpSchuette remarkmarketing ginidietrich SpinSucks You're welcome! I got a lot out of it.
martinwaxman Well done Martin! Klout is interesting (cute?) for 1st level snapshot but certainly not a strategic influencer tool, IMHO.
remarkmarketing Thanks – I'd agree with that and like the snapshot analogy.
All I want is that shirt. Lol.
staceylamiller Who knows – maybe that could be my side business :).

With 99.9999% of our lives private from Klout can they really measure anything about us? I think the whole influence thing as it stands is ridiculous. None of the Case Studies on the Klout site prove they worked. Same with the case studies on Social Chorus and Collective Bias. They tend to show earned media (though seems plenty use bloggers they compensate).
We don't listen to people online like we do in real life. And we are hugely influenced by what other people wear, eat, drive etc in real life…things we can't see of our virtual friends.
Howie Goldfarb Great point! Most of our real influence is missing. Someone said this is a measure of a small part of our online engagement – how active we are on certain platforms in a specified period of time. But saying it that way doesn't have the same ring as influence…

oostdam: Exact een zelfde test heb ik een jaartje geleden uitgevoerd. Zelfde resultaat. Je kunt de score krijgen waar je 'm wilt hebben…
gernijkamp weet ik maar wie weten dat nog meer?
oostdam: Te weinig mensen, in ieder geval 🙂 Ergste: er wordt serieus waarde aan gehecht. Terwijl het gebakken lucht is.
gernijkamp en dat is net zo erg als geloven in Google…
oostdam: Klopt, voor beide geldt: belangrijk om te weten hoe het werkt. Maar ja, wie wil dat nog weten..? Het is er toch gewoon…
dbvickery Thanks. And good point. I guess I should have enlisted the cheerleading squad to help me get elected to school office…
It is all about that bottom line, otherwise it's a lot of sizzle or false ego-boosting – hard to take that to the bank :).
markwschaefer Thanks Mark. That's a good point.
