Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 184.108.40.206

The only benefit I can see is reducing the number of outbound links from my site - which would be important if the links were off topic, but if all the recips are on topic is this the right thing to be doing?
Any thoughts / experience / know how most appreciated here :)

It would not have occured had someone not forced the issue.
The only natural links in this world are the ones that are placed by a third party, with no prompting whatsoever. Everyhting else is done for some effect, be it SEO, branding, marketing, or whatever.
Virtually all "link development" is some shade of gray....
Virtually all "link development" is some shade of gray...
Only when the phrase "search engines" comes into play. If links were developed based purely on merit and the value to the visitor, there really wouldn't be any gray involved.
But, that is not the case in many instances.
Yes, there is value in reciprocal links. There always has been and there always will be. The issue now is determining which ones are of value. What you see "visually" is no longer a viable option for determining the value of the link. One must do some serious "digging" to effectively determine the value.

Reciprocal linking is really very simple. You do it with sites that are in some way related to your own, and that offer to do it. If you are determined to get the most benefit from it, you do it diligently, with as many sites as possible. Even then, the number of links earned is moderate and quite controlled. Natural, if you want to use that term.
Are there search engine benefits, if it is done right? Of course. Are ther non-SE benefits? Yes. Smart people take both sides of it, to the bank. DUH!
I really fail to see why this subject raises so much hair in the SE community, and why there is so much confused speculation about it. It's ridiculous.
Then again, I have been doing it correctly, in one form or another since 1997.

Outbound links should be for the convenience and education of your users.
Inbound links should be to build traffic - from the links.
Links should not be made to influence search-engine rankings.
Do anything else, and you will eventually be caught for "gaming the system".
Maybe this is why so many people are complaining today about search-engine updates. Damn near EVERYBODY is gaming the system.
Being selective about link partners - in any way other than considering if it is good for your users and reflects well upon your site - is nonsense. Don't worry about whether a site is PR0, for example. Does it benefit your users, does it bring you traffic? It's madness to ignore a PR0 site that might have excellent content that complements yours.
If webmasters would follow these simple rules, they'd be less concerned about search engines - because they'd be getting more traffic from their links.
FWIW, until I sold it a couple of years ago, I ran a site that was ranked #3-5 on the first SERP for "San Diego" . Every site above it was a government or institutional site. I never did ANY SEO. By it's nature, the site had lots of outbound links. Inbound links grew primarily organically - i.e. others linked to it, which I had no control over (nor did I worry about...) Many of the links were recriprocal, but not by agreement or design - it just happened that way.
So I know a bit about this. You CAN have a top-ranked site without ever doing SEO.

any link that a person goes out to get via some form of prompting/paying/cajoling/submitting, is an "unnatural" link.
moderate and quite controlled. Natural, if you want to use that term
Suggestion: get your own vocabulary straight before you come here and preach at everyone else as if you think we know nothing.
We know which sites have links pages, which of those accept public submissions, and how they want that data submitted to them.
There is little to no value in the above type of proposition. Links pages are an easy target. Got a directory attached to your site with a bunch of links pages? Are many of those pages full of hyphenated URIs?
I have first hand experience of watching a site that was in purgatory come out of that status after the removal of their links directory. They wanted to keep some of what was in there and I told them to just trash the whole project for now. That was the only change made and sure enough, their purgatory ended. They're not going to participate in that type of linking scenario any more.
We only know that volume should be kept low, ie don't link out to 2000 links overnight. Do obtain relevant links as it benefits the end user. If you obtain 25 links this week and then only 5 next week, that is good.
This is all relative. Obtaining 25 links in one week for a site is a clear sign of being of a supernatural nature. Again, the term relative is a major factor here. Certain sites will naturally attract those numbers of links. Many sites will not. Certain activities will attract links in numbers, most will not.
If you link out to and obtain links from thousands of links in a short time period, we know this is bad because we have seen sites get downgraded for it.
All of this is spelled out in Google's various patents. They specifically tell you that obtaining links in large quantity in a short period of time is something that is filtered for. And again, it is all relative to the site. John's local gift shop is not going to obtain 25 links naturally in one week, not in most instances anyway.
If you are going to swap links swap them on pages relevant to the subject and ask that the link back to you is placed the same way. Then you could argue it is done for traffic place the link in a "link directory' and expect to get hammered.
I was recently advised by a company doing my SEO that Google and the other big search engines no longer see value in reciprocal linking
This is what started this thread and it�s a basic question that a lot of people think about these days when it comes to linking. I�ll skip over the whole ethical debate in all of this because I admit I spend a fair amount of time optimizing my sites with the goal of rising in the rankings. I am extremely conservative but do think about links from an optimizing perspective. (if you have ever seen someone post a link to your site, and thought �boy I wish they used this key word I�m optimizing for in that anchor text�, your closer to this side of the tracks than you might admit).
Any way, the problem with this discussion, other than the ethical debate, is that no one has defined �reciprocal linking�. If for example businessweek.com/ called you up one day and agreed to put a link on their home page to your site in return for a link back, that would be reciprocal linking. Raise your hand if you would agree to do that (don�t worry I won�t tell). Would this �reciprocal link� be beneficial to your site? You better believe it.
However, if you have on your site a tab that says �links� or �resources� and that takes you to a page with a listing of the alphabet and when you click a letter it takes you to a page with 100 links all starting with that letter; is that beneficial?
There has been a shift in the valuation of links, certainly over the past 18 months. This type of mass �reciprocal linking� is not as powerful as it once was, from a ranking perspective, and �reciprocal linking� like the busisnessweek.com example is more powerful than it once was. So, really if your going to spend your days looking for links, and that means having to �reciprocate�, quality has gained over quantity. Does this mean get rid of all your �reciprocal links�? Who knows until you really try, it might even help your ranking.
In going forward, you�re better off finding quality linking partners, and placing these links respectively within the actual text of relevant content. This is better from a ranking perspective and guess what; turns out its better for your visitors too.
A: Are SOME links pages/directories bad, most likely.
B: Are ALL links pages/directories bad, of course not.
A: Are SOME reciptocal links bad, most likely.
B: Are ALL reciprocal links bad, of course not.
A: Is SOME possible combination of the above bad, most likely.
B: Is EVERY possible combination of the above bad: of course not.
Citing examples where a given change takes place which is followed by an observation of another change is not proof that the first change led to the second.
It may have, but may is not the same as did.
- On March 13th, GoogleGuy gave a way for WebmasterWorld folks to give example sites.
- After looking at the example sites, I could tell the issue in a few minutes. The sites that fit �no pages in Bigdaddy� criteria were sites where our algorithms had very low trust in the inlinks or the outlinks of that site. Examples that might cause that include excessive reciprocal links, linking to spammy neighborhoods on the web, or link buying/selling.
The keyword here is "excessive" reciprocal links.
In other words make sure you have enough one-way, non-purchased links so reciprocals cannot be considered excessive.
While I haven't seen any real evidence of reciproation being devalued (it still works here, just as it always has), there is also no doubt that links from high PR high trust sites are very valuable.
The trouble is, all commercial link building takes place within a business context. That is, a return on investment is expected.
All links have at least the following attributes (there are more):
Accessbility - how accessible is the link? busisnessweek.com links, while certianly valuable, (and for more that just SE pruposes), are not very accessible to most businesses.
Cost - What money was spent getting that link?
Stability - How long will the link stay in place?
Relevance - Is it from a relevant site/page?
Time to placement - how long does it take to get that link?
Every link campaign (reciprocal or not), must be viewed against these attributes, and the expected return.
When that is done, reciprocation holds up quite well as an option for a site owner.

But here is my opinion.
If someone wants to exchange links with you,
1. See if Google has their linking page in the index.
Simply paste the url in the google search.
2. Check to see how many inbounds links the link page has using yahoo's site explorer.
3. Never outbound or accept inbounds links from a page that has low ratio of inbounds to outbounds unless they are in direct proximity to page that has a significant amount of quality inbounds.

Fresh from their £665m acquisition of Telegraph Newspapers, Sir David and Sir Frederick Barclay are now said to be in talks to buy Global, which went into administration earlier this month.
According to a report in the shipping newspaper Lloyd's List, the negotiations were disclosed at a meeting of creditors who were told that unless there is a takeover bid, they can expect to receive only 14p in the pound.
Best known for their media holdings, the Ritz hotel and the Littlewoods catalogue business, the Barclays have been closely involved in shipping over the years.
They owned Ellerman Line, Gotaas-Larsen and recently sold a 23.6% stake in tanker operator Osprey Maritime to John Fredriksen.
The administrator of Global Marine said the Barclay brothers intended to diversify the business into services for the defence, oil and gas industries.
Global, based in Chelmsford, Essex, was bought this summer by an equity group for £8.1 million. The creditors meeting was postponed until next month.Reuse content

But diners at the club were shocked to note his companion: Christopher Morgan, the public relations consultant representing Asil Nadir, the fugitive tycoon. It was Morgan's firm, Morgan Rogerson, who had introduced Mr Mates to the Turkish Cypriot; it was Morgan Rogerson which had encouraged him to raise Nadir's case with the Attorney General; it was Morgan Rogerson from whom he borrowed a second-hand Volvo car which proved to be his undoing.
Mr Mates first met Mr Morgan during the Westland affair in 1986, when Mr Morgan was representing the European consortium bidding to buy the helicopter manufacturer. Mr Mates had an interest because Michael Heseltine was a staunch supporter of the bid and later resigned from the Cabinet when the company was lost to the Americans. Mr Mates had been parliamentary private secretary to Mr Heseltine and ran his unsuccessful campaign for the Tory leadership.
Mr Morgan started to represent Nadir in 1991 - after the founder of Polly Peck had been charged with theft and false accounting involving at least pounds 30m.
But it was not Morgan who first introduced the case to Mr Mates. It was his partner Mark Rogerson, a constituent and friend.
Mr Mates became convinced that Nadir was being pursued unfairly and wrote to the Sir Nicholas Lyell, the Attorney General, to raise his concerns. Mr Mates wrote first in 1991 and, as the Independent disclosed earlier this week, well-placed sources were surprised to discover that the letter bore a close textual resemblance to a draft drawn up for Nadir.
Yesterday, the text of another letter was leaked. 'My concern about the injustice of the way this case is being handled continues to grow,' Mr Mates wrote to Sir Nicholas.
The letter - which Scotland Yard said last night was based on misinformation - was dated 17 March 1993, six weeks before Nadir jumped his pounds 3.5m bail and fled to northern Cyprus. This was before Mr Mates sent Nadir a watch inscribed 'Don't let the buggers get you down]'
He sent the watch after Nadir's trustees-in-bankruptcy had raided his London home and taken his Swiss watch off his wrist as an asset that could be realised to meet some of his debts. Mr Mates felt this was a childish and unnecessary humiliation.
But it was this disclosure that set in train the events that finally made his ministerial position untenable. At first, Mr Mates rode the storm efficiently. He stayed silent.
John Major told the Commons after the watch affair that Mr Mates had made a misjudgement, but it was not a hanging offence. He added: 'I am assured by Mr Mates that he has had no financial involvement with Mr Nadir, nor with any of his companies or with his advisers, either before he became a minister or since.'
Early in the week, there were backbench calls for Mr Mates to resign. Mr Major continued to say Mr Mates had his support. But the endorsement was weaker than it might have been. Mr Major may have been angry because Mr Mates had not told him about the car. Mr Mates kept it secret until, after a challenge from the Independent, he issued a statement. He did so after consulting Downing Street - and Christopher Morgan.

Robbery doesn't just take your things, it takes your sense of manhood and robs you of your ability to relax and be at peace
This is a discussion on I was car jacked at gunpoint within the Carry & Defensive Scenarios forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Originally Posted by Illusive Man A gun is not our most important weapon; it is our brain. The ability to analyze the situation and decide ...
sid1, you did right. I'm glad you got your truck back , and hope that the perp gets what he deserves.
We can all what-if as much as we want to, but you did right by getting yourself home today.
I would have gladly done exactly what you had, and be most thankful that I lived to tell the tale. I carry, ostensibly, to be able to defend myself and my loved ones against those who think that what I've given them is not enough - like in the Antioch incident below - but starting behind the muzzle (and I can see myself in your shoes, how quickly the situation would have erupted, had it been at my favorite local gas station...I also would not have had time to evade or otherwise defend), I honestly see no choice. Given there's not blood on the walls/windows/door of the station, if he hadn't shot me already at that point, I would agree with Bark'n's assessment that all this criminal wanted was to be the heck away from the scene. I see no reason not to have surrendered the car.
I would be thankful to God that my kid wasn't in the car (my wife commutes separately, I'm the usual driver for our daughter).
I would be thankful that the guy didn't just pull the trigger: Antioch driveway mugging captured on video - San Jose Mercury News .
I also think that you did right by not trying to stop him after you got out of your vehicle: there's too many "what ifs" there to count, and a lot would carry the implications of potentially hurting innocents, as several fellow DC.com members have proposed.
You did good. I wish that had I been in your shoes, I would be able to retain enough clarity to see myself through the situation as you did.
Robbery doesn't just take your things, it takes your sense of manhood and robs you of your ability to relax and be at peace
Glad your ok
I would rather live my life as if there is a God,
And die to find out there isn't, than live my life
As if there isn't, and die to find out there is.
God Bless
And I was annoyed because a beggar approached me yesterday... Sid1, glad you are alive today.
I don't understand the discussion about shooting when he drove away with the car. I guess I carry to defend my life and get out of sticky situations. Seems like re-engaging would just be a reckless thing to do.
Hopefully they catch the guy.
Rest well.
I don't understand... how could you let him get away..?
This is DC!
We carry guns!
We aren't afraid to use them!
"US" would have used our extreme level of daily training to take out one of "Them."
The least you could have done was stick your index finger in the barrel of his gun... Then if he'd a pulled the trigger, it woulda blown up on him... I know this 'cause I saw it in a Yosemite Sam cartoon once!
Sid1, you did it 100% right, you're here to tell the story... you even got your truck back... And probably, if you had to give a description of the perp to the police sketch artist it would've looked something like one of these:
You did fine... sometimes, for all our preparedness, there are situations we cannot overcome, with or without our guns... Especially when it comes to property... Sure, if it's certain death, most of us will go out fighting... but for property? Nah.
Besides, you got it back... And, you got a story that will live forever, you have reason to train a bit more...practice a bit more, buy a new gun if you want... and enjoy a steak dinner or six...
It could be worse!

OP I think you are being very generous saying it took 3-4 seconds for the BG to travel that distance. Looks like this was a classic example of "screwed by fate." Even Chuck Norris might have been caught short.

Wow ,who knew post and attitudes would "jump Threads",this is comical and sad.
Things I have learned from this thread and a change in how I do things.
First) never park in front of a store, park off at an angle so if you do get jacked the perp has to back up in order to advance.
Two) my gun is now uncovered when I am sitting in my truck so the removing the seat belt and grabbing the gun is one motion without my shirt getting in the way.
three) if I get jacked try and shut the truck off and throw the keys on the floor board or hand them to the perp giving me time to move back so his gun hand has to cross over his body as they sit in the truck forcing them to shoot over their shoulder to get me which will give me an advantage to shoot him as he advances out the lot.
Did I miss anything?
You now have to pick up the gun with your right hand (this assumes you are right handed, of course), sweep it from pointing left to pointing right all before he gets off a shot... That's if it's completely uncovered and laying in your lap... if it's still holstered... you have to draw, swing, and point it to the right... from seated...
You cannot let every actual scenario that ever really happened be the basis for a new method of preparedness... there simply is NO WAY to cover all the bases all the time... You come up with a notion... I can come up with a way it will not work...
It could be worse!
I suppose
Glad you made it home. You made the right call.
as far as him or anyone jumping in my doors are always locked (live in the city and auto locks) so that's not happening so now as far as parking in front of the door I don't for reasons that it's too easy for someone to hit the mirrors or scratch the truck so that's not happening. I can't be ready for every situation but I can try by looking around before I jump out.
Ask him how his life changed and he will tell you. When you are a victim of crime you look at things different; nothing ever looks the same again
Life is too short... carry on....
You did ask if you had missed anything... you missed every other possibility... take into account Murphy's law... For me, murphy is out there... but he also works against the BGs... preparedness might make one a slightly lesser target for murphy... but then I hear he likes a real chalenge...
It could be worse!

This was extraordinary attention for an ordinary cardinal, because as Benedict told the throng awaiting him, "I am no longer Pope." I am not a scholar of Catholic history, but I believe we were witnessing the first time the Papal throne was vacant while an elected Pope was alive.

Over the years, Rejuvenation has become widely recognized as a maker and seller of period-authentic lighting and house parts. This is the good news. It's also the bad news. They want to own the category, but if they aren't careful the category could own them.
They have done such a good job at being old house geeks, their wide array of high quality fixtures can be lost on potential customers owning mid-century modern homes, or urban condominiums.
Our challenge has been repositioning Rejuvenation as relevant to a broad base of consumers without alienating their core customer – or worse yet – waffling on brand values.
We meet on a weekly basis year round with their entire product and marketing team. We set annual brand strategies, updating them for each major marketing initiative. Involving key members of each product category, the marketing, retail an online team members ensures a cohesive approach benefitting from the talents of everyone involved. The weekly meetings are energetic, encouraging constant brainstorming and recalibrating efforts. This spirit of collaboration is the hallmark of our most successful clients.
Every facet of the brand has been reconsidered. It begins with a comprehensive strategy aligning every effort in the company – photography, styling, catalogue, retail, identity, vehicles, packaging and advertising. Historically, their lighting and house parts in strictly period appropriate homes predictably styled. While accurate, only a fraction of their customers actually buy lighting from a preservationist point-of-view. Most live in eclectically furnished homes unique to their personal history and style. The brand is now more closely aligned with the way people actually shop and live in their homes.
Rejuvenation is now enjoying a renaissance with renewed vitality and broader customer reach.
In November of 2011, Rejuvenation was purchased by Williams Sonoma.

Mangalarga Marchador - Brazil's National Treasure
One of the largest breeds in the world is the Mangalarga Marchador. Say what?
(For simplicity, you can say just Marchador (pronounced MARSCH A DOOR). In Brasil, it is their passion: there is a Marchador song and a Marchador Museum. In 2013, the Marchador will be featured and celebrated during Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro!
In its native country, the Brazilian Association of Breeders of Mangalarga Marchador, the ABCCMM, has 6,000 breeders and over 500,000 registered horses that live in approximately 22,000 farms! In Brazil, Marchador horses break records in agribusiness, selling over $60 million (U.S.$) a year in only 75 auctions across the country. Their National Exposition, held every year in July for 11 days, is one of the biggest equestrian events in Latin America with 1500 purebred MM horses competing.
Recently, exportation of this national treasure began and now there are populations of Marchadors in many countries! After Brasil, Europe has the most Marchadors. Here in the U.S., we have more than tripled the numbers in ten years time, from an initial importation of 60-plus horses to over 220!
The Brazilian Mangalarga Marchador appeared over 200 years in the County of Rio das Mortes (River of Death), in southern Minas Gerais (General Mines) state, when horses of the Alter Real breed, brought from Alter do Chão, Portugal, were crossed with other local horses selected by breeders of that region. The result of the breeding efforts resulted in a large, elegant animal, with aesthetic beauty, docile and excellent for riding.
Alter Real horses first arrived in Brazil in 1808, with D. Joao VI, who moved to his colony with the royal family. The horses of this breed were highly valued in Portugal and without peer in the Royal Riding School. The Alter Stud Farm was established in 1748 by D. Joao V and reached moments of glory during the 18th century when their horses were sought after by princes and nobles of Europe. Back then, no distinction was made between Spanish and Portuguese horses (Andalusian and Lusitano today), and the political border was of no consequence regarding the breeding of horses. Most breeders took their mares to stallions in Alter do Chao. Minas Gerais was known as an important and creative equine center during the 18th century. The arrival of the Alter Real horses further enhanced their farms. The County of Rio das Mortes had no gold, but drew the attention of settlers because of its good conditions for animal husbandry. There was plenty of water, forests and grasses, suitable for forage.
The Mangalarga Marchador birthplace was Fazenda Campo Alegre, owned by Gabriel Francisco Junqueira, the Baron of Alfenas, who is credited with the creation of the breed. A prized Alter Real stallion named "Sublime" was a gift from the King to the Baron. The "foundation farms" were often sons or nephews of the Baron. He created the breed, and also the breeders too! The new breeders branded their horses with their initials and thus, the bloodlines of the Marchador began (JB, JF (Favacho) etc. Many of their foundation bloodlines are still around today. The original breeders were gentlemen, often noblemen. They became ranchers, but they were also sportsmen, expert deer hunters who valued the Marchador as a mount that was tough, agile and able to carry them on long journeys.
Built in Quality
The Brazilian breeders are passionate about breeding. Each generation improves toward their ideal. The Marchador is a working breed - versatile and able to perform for the task-at-hand. Because of their discipline in breeding, the horses are consistently impressive.
In Brazil, all Marchador horses must undergo an inspection by the ABCCMM breed judges to be approved for permanent registration and breeding. Foals are inspected before weaning for disqualification (genetic defects). Then at age three, when the horse is trained under saddle, the horses are inspected for conformation, gait and temperament. Approved horses are branded with the trademarked Horseshoe M brand of the ABCCMM. Only approved horses are allowed to breed.
Because of the long tradition of the Brazilian breeders and the inspection process, the Marchador has solid conformation, a lot of bone and good feet, with wonderful intelligence and a calm, willing temperament. The Marchador horse is easy to train, gentle and kind. Small children in Brazil commonly ride them because of its easygoing nature and smooth gaits.
The Mangalarga Marchador averages 15 hands and weigh between 850 and 1100 pounds. Gray is prominent, but chestnuts, blacks, bays, buckskins, palominos and pinto horses may also be found. They are a medium-sized, well-proportioned horse built to be strong and agile. They have a vigorous and healthy appearance with smooth skin, silky hair and shining eyes – a regal appearance! The temperament is docile, easily trained smooth and very gentle.
A sure-footed horse with plenty of cow sense as well as stamina, this breed holds the Guinness book of World Records Endurance Ride of 8,694 miles in 1994.
The Mangalarga Marchador is a versatile working horse breed that is also gaited. It has two special gaits – the "marcha picada" and 'marcha batida". Personal preference and riding terrain determine which one is "better".
Generally, the marcha picada may be moother, with more time spent in lateral pairs. The marcha batida is often considered more athletic and less tiring to the horse. It is a unique gait with more time spent in diagonal pairs. The Marchador has a wonderful canter, which does not disturb their natural marcha.
The Marcha is the same footfalls in both marcha picada and marcha batida.
The footfall sequence is
When the length of time spent in lateral pairs is higher, then the gait is marcha picada. When the length of time is higher spent in diagonal supports is higher, then the gait is marcha batida. In both, there are moments of triple hoof support, which is what makes the gait smooth and easy to ride. When the length of time spent in diagonal and lateral pairs are equal, it is sometimes described as marcha de centro.

I would suggest that you review the Order from the Court. Orders involving Minor Settlements usually explicitly state that no disbursements from this Account can be made without Order from the Court. Your only option would be to write the Court from the county that issued the Order and seek permission to withdraw the amount and specify in detail the reasons for your request. The Judge will probably require you to appear for a hearing. I would start by seeing if the Judge who issued your Order is still on the bench and contact his/her clerk for suggested protocol. Otherwise, you can always contact the Civil Clerk with your questions. If I'm being vague, I apologize because different counties and different judges, may require you to do different things such as file a formal Motion to Re-Open and Request distribution. I would start by making some phone calls in order to ensure that you are complying with the county and judge's required protocol.
JasonAsk a similar question
I agree. In addition, this question should be easily answered by the attorney who helped you obtain the settlement. Attorneys should keep the records from the minor settlement hearing. You may want to contact that attorney who helped you to discuss whether he/she will be able to assist you in asking the Court for an "early" distribution.
Good Luck!

I am sorry for the loss of your cousin. It is good you are willing to help. I assume that you are not able to divide the costs among your relatives.
I agree with the other two answers. In addition if you know who the guardian was for your case you can call him or her and they may be able to point you in the right direction.
If your settlement in in a trust you may be able to contact the trustee and have some funds disbursed if the trustee agrees.
If the money is tied up you may be able to use the settlement as security for a loan at a bank or credit union.

Underwater excursion
We filmed Monday through Wednesday night, we had to film after hours because we had to shut down the entire pool. Jake and I were in the water for like 6 hours a night, and the chlorine ate us alive. Not fun. We were also shooting on the redone and we kept on having a problem with the humidity giving the camera a problem, but we were able to work around that as well.Jake was the director on this commercial, with Jamison Dayton as producer, and me as DP. We had full support from the Swim team, and were excited to see what doors open up because of this experience, for all of us. You can check out some of our sample footage with the video below.
Once again, it always amazes me on the adventures that film making takes us on. We have a wonderful team, and I can see us all working together to the end!
This is Devin signing out.

The humble frisbee hasn't had much of a makeover since its original design. You might say there's no need, it works perfectly well as it is. But the makers of ZipChip would disagree.
It's a pocket-sized frisbee that flies a little differently thanks to its unique design. It looks like a hockey puck, and is designed to be thrown overarm like a ball, instead of backhand like a frisbee. You have more control over its trajectory too. Release it level, and it flies straight. Release it at an angle, and it'll have a curved flight.
The makers aren't letting on their secrets as to how it works, but it flies distances of over 200 feet. That's almost the length of a football pitch.
It floats, so you won't have to worry about losing it in the drink. And it's soft and malleable, making it ultra durable. That should also mean it hurts less if it hits you. Hopefully.
Because it's light, the makers claim it'll take longer for your arm to get tired while throwing it. That should also make it ideal for kids. And it's nice and bright, so should be easy to find if it lands in long grass.

To throw it, imagine you're skimming a stone. Pretend you're standing waist-deep in water, and want to skim it along the surface. Don't grip it too hard. Pull back, and let it fly.
It's shot past its funding goal and will ship in August. It's cheap as chips too (or ZipChips), costing just $7 (£4.55). Bargain.

The Presidential Leadership Scholars (PLS) program is designed for leaders from diverse backgrounds who share a commitment to facing society's greatest challenges. The program seeks participants who have the desire and capacity to take their leadership strengths to a higher level in order to help their communities and emboldens them with the practical skills needed to drive solution-oriented action.
The program draws on the strengths and leadership initiatives of the four affiliated presidential centers. By including a bipartisan roster of presidential centers – two Republican and two Democratic – and by enjoying the engagement of former presidents from both parties, the program creates a rare opportunity to instill in our Scholars a brand of principled leadership that transcends diverse backgrounds. This executive-style education series creates a life-long network for Scholars from the business, public service, nonprofit, and military sectors and fosters opportunities for leaders to emerge ready to offer solutions to pressing national problems.
The curriculum draws from the resources of each presidential center that relate to key leadership moments from each administration, and provides insights into how each president addressed pressing challenges. Scholars benefit directly from the engagement of President George W. Bush and President Bill Clinton, senior officials from each of the four administrations, and distinguished faculty sharing cutting-edge research and skills.
The program requires a six-month commitment. During that time, the class meets for an opening week session and one extended weekend per month during the following five months.
The program selects applicants who have a diversity of perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences and who will most benefit from a dynamic learning experience that stresses the importance of cooperation and collaboration.
During the program, Scholars work on a Personal Leadership Project (PLP), intended to provide Scholars with the opportunity to both apply the skills and competencies learned throughout the program and help achieve the program's ultimate desired outcome of increasing social good.
Session 1: Opening Week: Tuesday, February 7th – Saturday, February 11th
Location: Washington, D.C.
Session 2: Thursday, March 9th – Saturday, March 11th
Location: George H.W. Bush Presidential Center, College Station, TX
Session 3: Thursday, April 6th – Saturday, April 8th
Location: William J. Clinton Presidential Center, Little Rock, AR
Session 4: Thursday, May 11th – Saturday, May 13th
Location: George W. Bush Presidential Center, Dallas, TX
Session 5: Thursday, June 15th – Saturday, June 17th
Location: Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Center, Austin, TX
Session 6: Closing and Graduation: Tuesday, July 11th – Friday, July 14th
Location: George W. Bush Presidential Center, Dallas, TX
The curriculum focuses on leadership skills including Vision and Communication, Decision Making, Persuasion and Influence, and Strategic Partnerships. Spread over six months, the sessions involve approximately 120 hours of on-location instruction. In addition, Scholars are encouraged to form meaningful relationships with one another and to learn from each other's divergent views and backgrounds. By connecting a new class of Scholars each year, the Presidential Leadership Scholars program also aims to build a strong and diverse alumni network that can put the lessons of cooperation and collaborative problem-solving to use in a variety of sectors and inspire a new kind of leadership.
Course sessions are led by distinguished professors and practitioners representing a variety of perspectives on leadership. Renowned presidential scholars focus on critical moments within our Nation's history, using them to illustrate examples of effective leadership.
The Scholars initially gather for an opening week session. In the following months, they attend four weekend sessions at each of the presidential centers. The program concludes with a final session and a closing ceremony.
The locations of the centers are:
The four presidential centers are committed to ensuring that leaders across the country can participate in this program at no cost to the Scholars. Tuition, housing, meals, and travel during the sessions in the host center's city are fully funded by contributions from foundations, corporations, and generous donations.
