Re: Underwater Forest
This is so gorgeous! Great work half-toning!
Re: Hold Still Guys!
This may or may not embarrass me to wear it, but I WILL buy one.
Re: GOLDFISH
From shirt color to placement to the artistry of the design itself, I like everything about this design.
I have to admit, that I was more than half won over simply because it's the first design I've seen in a long while that was a top, centered design.
Re: Nobody wants to play!
Awwww, poor perfectly evolved predator.
Excellent work from both of you guys. I liked the concept when first posted in the pre-derby thread, but wasn't sure what style would work for the execution of it.
Looks like concept and style of you both came out pretty clearly and well.
Re: Aboriginal Orca
Don't normally like the more artsy ones (I like tee shorts that make me look 12), but I really like this.
Re: Just keep smiling!
I wish this hadn't gotten rejected. /: It was SO adorable, and I honestly wouldn't have been surprised if I had won.
Nice! They remind me of two Sparklers twirling around each other. Happy days of my youth ~ GMV
Re: Agony of the Crab
I like it!
Re: The One That Got Away
Guys often talk about the one that got away. The perfect gal they let slip out of their life, or the giant fish that just barely escaped capture during a legendary fishing trip. Guys sharks aren't much different ; )
I hope this design tickles your funny bone.
Re: From Hell's Heart
I adore this design. It does a great job capturing the energy and pathos of the quotation. I can't believe I don't see any other Moby Bubba Bo Bob Brain references with this Derby.
This is hilarious!!!
Thanks for the comments guys! I felt like the saying was probably a little obscure, but I was too thoroughly amused making it to let that stop me.

Seriously! Every time I see something that I wouldn't expect to have been made by ramyb (because it's not a cute fluffy animal/penguin--which, I have a few of, don't get me wrong), I get absolutely floored and if I had more money onhand, I'd have bought every single non-cutesy that popped up.
*huff huff huff*
+1 and seconded, love your more serious work e=when we get to see it. Very beautiful!
Re: BANANA SQUID!!!
Chump magic, you are teh awesome. And I can't help but wonder if I know you due to the hundreds of references I've made to banana squids over the past year. If so, thank you for taking my crazy and making a shirt. If not... are you currently seeing anyone? Cause, banana squid! No one ever sees it coming.
I like the texture of this. It looks like a woodcut. Great work.
Re: Waiting for the suB
I really like this style. GMV.
Really beautiful work. I love the mixture of halftone styles. GMV.
Re: Shipwreck
I think the shirt color really helps make this a wonderful shirt. Not only is it a stunning design but it's on a color that is not seen often.
Re: Electric Jellyfish
It's difficult to see where the image is on the shirt. Center? Right? Left?

oh man i'm loving this...
Such a bummer it was posted relatively late... I fear it won't have the time to climb to the fog, but you've got my vote!

Thank you for the votes

i like this one a lot.
Re: SEA-HORSE
I really like the style...but the horse has some non-horse anatomy. Back legs seem to have three joints, and the eyes are on the front, not the side. Sorry, but that would bug me too much. :/ I clicked, WANTING to vote...

You've got something against love?! lol joking, good idea and very funny, I love the goggles

"...the worms crawl in, the worms crawl out..." runs through my head when I see this. I know they're eels, but I can't change my internal soundtrack. Good image, nice shirt.
So, you find the way to put a Rabbit even under the sea. Great!!!
samuraikiss wrote:I love this, and I can't stop laughing! Is it just me, though, or does the orca shadow in the background seem out of place?
In my opinion, you almost need the orca in the background. Why else would they all be pretending to be an orca? They're trying not to get eaten by the one that's hunting, so they're trying to look like an orca themselves. I don't think the shirt would have the same impact without the real orca in the background.
I thought the same thing. Well you know what they say: great minds think alike, then oversaturate the derby with the mines and pufferfishes.
I love this one! Very clever role reversal, sharks talking about the one that got away. I want this shirt to own!

Ash tree bracket fungus
Observed: 26th July 2013 By: ian_Notts
Added: 28th October 2013
Several brackets up to 30cm x 15cm on a mature Ash tree around an old wound.
Other observations of Dryad's Saddle (Polyporus squamosus)
Ash tree

I wonder if the tree is being seriously affected by the bracket fungus.
It does cause damage
28 October 2013 - 3:41pm Amadan
Sometimes called "white rot". It is one that is more often found on moribund or completely dead trees than on reasonably healthy ones, in my experience.

The Definitive Guide
Welcome to Startup Savant's guide on how to market a new business. This definitive guide was a collaboration between some of the best marketers we know, who we owe a HUGE thanks to.
That said, this is more of a helpful guide with lots of tools/resource links, than a blueprint because all businesses are as unique as their founders and there's no one-size-fits-all marketing approach that works. Right? If you think there is, well, then you've fallen for one of the most overused marketing myths in history.
Speaking of which, let's dive in and begin there.
Marketing is an integral part of growing any newly-formed business.
The sooner owners get onboard, the sooner they reap the rewards: more leads, greater brand recognition, product/service awareness, better reputation and more. Here are some common marketing myths to toss in your mental trash bin immediately.
If you want to market using a multi-pronged approach that includes email, direct mail, social media, content marketing, advertising, etc., then this objection is on-point. Most startups and entrepreneurs can't afford what a huge mistake that is…stretch themselves thin.
Choose 2-3 initiatives (ideally folks, just one!) that you feel confident in evaluating, mapping out a strategy for, and executing. Add new marketing activities only as returns begin to flow in and create margin for experimentation and growth. This allows small businesses to market effectively on modest budgets.
Yes, an excellent salesperson or team is an important part of selling anything. However, sales and marketing have incredible synergy because:
You've planned and executed, now your marketing activity is over, right? Wrong.
Pulling the trigger on your marketing plan is a step in the right direction. However, sending the email or tweet then stopping leaves the job half-done.
What business owners must realize is that to be truly effective, they have to analyze the results of their efforts and tweak messaging over time. Pinpoint which content gets the most interaction, then hammer down – meaning optimize, optimize, optimize. Good content, like marketing plans, are living, breathing entities that should evolve.
Companies like Nabisco, Coca-Cola, Red Bull, and Geico Insurance are all over social media. They're everywhere because they have huge marketing budgets with a large department dealing only with social media.
So, before you run off and set up Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, Instagram, Pinterest, and Snapchat accounts and profiles, take a breath. Even if your startup has a small team of people, you can't effectively be everywhere at once.
Besides, there's the 20/80 or 80/20 rule to consider. So if you're on 5 platforms, 1 will be responsible for 80% of your social media ROI. Which one do you think it is? Do you really know?
So experimentation on multiple platforms is a great idea, but once you recognize where most of the engagement is…hammer down! Regardless, developing a social media marketing campaign isn't easy. There are relationships to build and nurture, and this requires creative content on a regular basis, as well as lots of conversation.
Wrong. Some customers will find you. But, a marketing campaign has to be half-focused on finding prospects where they are and luring them in. Fish don't jump in a boat because you've got worms in a can. You have to bait the hook and put the line in the water.
Set a goal, say, making contact with 50 prospects a day. Why not? Go where they are and engage them; post something of real value that they want or consider using targeted ads in the right spots.
No. This is what's called "vanity tracking" and it's quite meaningless – sort of like getting lots of "flirts" on a dating website but never actually getting a date.
You have to use your metrics to determine where visitors are coming from and where they're bouncing to so that you can understand why you aren't getting conversions. Something is turning them off. Go find them, start conversations and optimize.
This is dangerous. You may get a burst of initial sales because you're offering huge discounts and/or freebies, but what happens when the party's over ?
Your focus has to be on relationships and trust first – getting your brand known as one that cares about people. That's what a consumer-driven economy is all about. A customer wants to know "who" they're dealing with not just "what" they're being asked to purchase.
Marketing has certainly changed, now that most of it is done online and has to compete with a huge deluge of content. No one sane just throws up ads and expects results. The Internet is a place for relationships and brand recognition built over time, not overnight.
Startup entrepreneurs have to develop patience and let those relationships and their reputation develop through sound strategies.
Marketing, and marketing for startups: they sound the same, right? Funny thing is… they're not. Marketing is activity: "A set of institutions and processes for creating, communicating, delivering and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners and society at large." (thanks American Marketing Association!).
While marketing for startups is really just one thing – hustling. And that doesn't make ironing out a startup marketing plan any easier. Here's 3 tips:
Why create a first year plan when everything you know will change within that time? Startups aren't the same on day 1 as on day 365. In fact, they're substantially different by day 30.
As you develop and research, you'll learn your target audience can be reached in some ways but not others. For example, if your social media plan on day 1 revolves around Instagram then you learn your audience isn't there, you have to scrap everything.
Shoot for short term quarterly plans. Then, when your marketing plan inevitably has to change, you're simply refining every 90 days instead of starting over.
No startup should pay more than a small monthly fee for any marketing tool. For example, the Hubspot Jumpstart program offers Hubspot to companies at 90% off the list price for the first year. If your company meets the requirements, this is a great step as the platform allows companies to manage many marketing activities in one place.
Other free or inexpensive tools include:
One of the main things founders forget in their marketing plans is the hustle. Look in the mirror and tell yourself this:
"My startup isn't going to get its first 100, 500 or 1,000 users solely from digital marketing."
Repeat it…
Founders have to hustle to quickly gain an enthusiastic user base. Hand out flyers; find your potential users at festivals, farmers markets, grocery stores, anywhere. Bring an iPad and have them sign up for your product on the spot. Launching a startup is no easy task and you must be willing to work to succeed.
Another big challenge for startups is deciding how much to invest in marketing when you don't have a lot of money coming in. Listen, mainstream budget tools and time-tested rules of thumb used by established businesses just don't work when you're starting out.
Just because you don't know exactly when that first or second sale will come is no excuse to simply pull a number out of thin air, cross your fingers and hope for the best. For brand new businesses without a sales history to use as a basis for future forecasting and budgeting a simple way to build that first marketing budget is to use a tactic called the "payout plan".
Now you have a marketing budget not limited by initial sales. For startup companies with plans for rapid growth, marketing in often the missing link between where they are and where they want to be.
This isn't revolutionary financing. Companies like Amazon and Monster.com employed this approach in their early days. Awareness was critical to their ability to grow, so long before they had adequate sales, they invested in television advertising.
They spent at a level well-above what a company of their size could afford. The plan succeeded and the sales came. It worked because they figured out what they needed to do to grow and how marketing fit into their overall plan.
This technique will not work for every startup. If awareness isn't your biggest the issue this approach won't grow your sales. Consider Pets.com. They thought they would become the Pet-Amazon so to speak, so they bought ads on the Super Bowl. But you might not have ever heard of Pets.com.
Awareness wasn't their major growth obstacle. When people learned about them they chose not to use the service. There were major holes in their business model, and no amount of advertising could fix that.
There's risk in this approach. Since you invest based on future sales, it will be several years before you figure out if you were right or wrong. If sales don't come fast enough you may be out of money before you generate enough revenue.
If you're trying to fuel rapid growth, it definitely takes money to make money. Just make sure you're spending it on something worth growing.
No matter how great your idea is, you need customers in order to survive. In fact, many statistics show that the failure to understand market/product-fit is one of the leading reasons why startups fail.
Near the top of that list you'll also find inability to sell, along with cash flow issues – both of which can be redeemed if you have the right customers paying you for your product or service.
Acquiring customers isn't rocket science, but it does take a methodical process as well as nerves of steel to be willing to try, try and try again in the face of defeat. It also means extending your 'ask' beyond friends and family. This is where you'll find customers who really want what you have to offer based on your value proposition. Not because they find you warm and friendly.
Let's focus on 5 simple steps to acquiring customers:
The key to customer acquisition is doing your research so you have a strong standing of your target market, brand, values, and positioning. Outline all of the answers to the following questions:
Consider using tools like Think with Google as well, where you can research trends, search data, as well as launch very affordable surveys through Google Consumer Surveys.
Taking a cue card from Stanford's Design School, complete the following exercise to design a compelling position in the marketplace that separates you from the competition, while speaking directly to your target audience.
Sentence 1 – Value to Customer
"For (target customer) who (statement of the need or opportunity), the (product/service name) is a (product/service category) that (statement of benefit)."
Sentence 2 – Uniqueness
"Unlike (primary competitive alternative), our product (statement of primary differentiation)."
Use the essence of these two sentences to develop compelling headlines for email campaigns, print campaigns, product materials, etc.
Identify the channels/areas/mediums where your potential customers are active. If you sell HR software, there's a good chance a significant portion of your target audience is active on LinkedIn and online job boards. You could also find them in professional organizations such as the Society of Human Resource Management.
Connecting leads to the obvious mass media locations, such as TV, radio, online streaming, social media, etc. However, these often carry a high price tag and are less likely to lead to conversions that have a good track history. Look for outlets that often go unnoticed (which means they have less competition), such as:
As you connect with your target audience, it's easy to get overly concerned with conversions, sales, and dollars in the door. After all, you need to pay your bills. Nevertheless, take time to identify long-term strategies that pay off indirectly by providing value to your potential audience.
For example, if you have a company that sells marketing products, introducing yourself to a LinkedIn group by offering a free resource like a marketing planning template download makes you seem less "salesy" and more likely to secure relationships. Giving is the new currency.
The Help Scout Blog is a great example of this as well – they have many provoking ideas and research that further validate the need for great customer service (they sell a customer service software). It's spot on.
Despite all of the tools, channels, networks, and hubs that we have available to us, people still buy from people. You'll notice many of the most successful startups place their founders and/or CEO at the forefront of communications (if you're a customer of Treehouse or Hootsuite for example, you'll find emails from their CEOs in your inbox).
They want customers to realize that there are people working to make magic happen. Since word of mouth marketing now has a million ways to spread online (and in person), your founding team needs to put strategic effort into building your network. This could include an influential board of directors, strategic alliances with like-minded organizations, community groups, mentors, and more.
Never underestimate the power of the "right referral source."
Return on investment (ROI) can be hard to measure, especially when you're a marketer. Marketing professionals tackle this in many different ways, but there are a few things to consider while making these decisions. Here are three universal steps to help you improve ROI.
If you never truly define your strategy, defining success is impossible. What do you want to accomplish, and how? Make sure you have a plan in place so you can prove exactly what you accomplished. If you get sidetracked, refer back to your master plan. While creating it, ask yourself these crucial questions:
"Is your strategy measurable?"
It's important that your marketing campaign be measurable. Defining a success indicator is the best way to prove any initiative in any field is successful, and marketing's no different. So, when you're in the early stages of planning your marketing campaign make sure there's a measurable goal.
"Has your strategy generated sales?"
Leads, sales, and leads that turned into sales are a clear way to measure the success of your marketing campaign. While revenue isn't the sole indicator of success, cash flow is the only way a business can thrive.
Sure, this is common sense, but how many businesses have you seen execute flashy marketing campaigns that never generate any sales? Or, owners get distracted by data that looks great but in actuality fails to prove anything at all. Speaking of which…
"Are you reporting on more than vanity metrics?"
We're often asked about vanity metrics and if they hold value when measuring marketing ROI. The short answer is yes.
Of course the amount of clicks, opens, visits, etc. is important but if they don't generate sales, or if you can't prove they've generated revenue for the business, then they have little to no value when proving ROI. Raising brand awareness is great! But if your marketing efforts don't translate to dollars then it's time to reevaluate your strategy.
This is a difficult one to track and measure. The most important part of tracking awareness of your brand is the data you need to backup your conclusions. However, this does not mean that you should print out your reports from social management tools and Google Analytics and hand them to your boss. Raw data is just that—raw data.
The goal here is to interpret and paint a picture that gives insight into the project. If you're not comfortable navigating marketing analytics, then check out this article.
One of the biggest mistakes that marketers make is assuming a strategy is going to work before they test, assuming what works for one audience will work for another, etc. The most important step in proving the ROI of your marketing efforts is to prove them over and over again.
Analyze your results after every campaign, monthly for longer campaigns, for every new initiative. Your marketing plan is living and breathing, and should be adjusted based on the success and failure of every new initiative.
Let's face it, as the owner of a newly formed startup there are a number of tools you can use to market your product or service. Being fiscally responsible during a growth stage is important, and with their help you'll be able to effectively gain customers and keep those relationships strong!
Sending quality emails to current customers is important, but gaining traction with new clientele can make or break your business.
Mailchimp is an affordable way to send professional emails with easy-to-format templates to catch the eye of your target consumer. If you have fewer than 2,000 subscribers, you can send up to 12,000 emails per month absolutely free. No expiring trial, contract, or credit card required.
Do you need help with…..anything? You can bet that you'll find an affordable service provider on Fiverr. This site was built with a thrifty mindset and most services cost, you guessed it, $5. Services range from graphic design, to copywriting, audio/video editing, etc.
UpWork has become the largest and most profitable "digital work" or freelancing platform online…by far. The company was created when the two previous big hitters in the emerging industry combined merged into one monolithic platform.
This has it's ups and downs but continues getting better and more functional over time. You can start an agency for free and hire workers to code, design, writer, VAs, etc., at competitive rates. If you're outsourcing or plan to, you HAVE to check out UpWork.
If you're struggling to find a website that'll help you convert leads into customers, search no more. Leadpages was built from the ground up to give you the easiest page building experience on the web.
Whether you're marketing webinars, white pages, free reports, software or anything else, this service helps drive consumers to convert. The best part? These pages integrate with your current website, Facebook, WordPress and more.
CRM software is important to any small business or startup, but many platforms are clunky to learn. PipeDrive allows you to manage your sales funnel, relationships and more with an easy to use tool. Plus, there's a functioning mobile app for when you're on the go (which is all the time). This service starts at a miniscule $12 per user, per month.
We know that you probably get asked by advisers, investors and your business relationships what the ROI of any marketing efforts that you're doing are. Well, the free ROI calculator from Marketo can give you some valuable insights. Plus, it's free.
There's a positive ROI on free.
Social media management tools are essential for any social media professional or small business owner. Since there are so many of them out there, it may be hard to know which platform will work best for you and your business. Let's take a look at some of the top social media management tools for this upcoming year.
Buffer has some amazing free features and is extremely easy to use. Depending on your business and how often you plan to schedule posts, you may be able to get away with using the free individual account for the time being.
If that doesn't work, there are various plans based on the size of your team that are available on the cheap. One great thing about Buffer is that they also give free access to Pablo, which is a simple (but great!) image creator for your social media posts.
When it comes to social media management tools, HootSuite is one of the best and certainly the most popular with over ten million users. The platform offers three different plans to choose from: Free, Pro, and Enterprise.
Just like Buffer, you may be able to use the free plan (at least to get started!), which offers users the ability to manage three different accounts, two campaigns, some analytics and other basic features as well. The Pro plan allows users to manage up to 50 social media profiles, use HootSuite's advanced message scheduling, enhanced analytics and more.
Sprout Social is a little bit pricier compared to the previous two, but it's a popular tool used by companies such as Yahoo, Zipcar, Spotify and Fossil. On a tight budget? Sprout Social has a couple of plans that may work for you and your company.
One of our favorite features with Sprout is the smart inbox, which brings all of your messages from every one of your profiles to a single and filterable stream. This feature ensures that you never miss the chance to respond to a client or potential customer.
Most social media management tools have their own link-shortening capabilities. If the one you're using doesn't, Bitly is a quick way to shorten those exceedingly long hyperlinks.
Google Analytics is notorious for giving users tons of useful information, sometimes even more than they know what to do with. If you know your way around the platform then the tool is extremely handy, and if not, here's a guide to help you get started.
Pablo is a social media image creation tool owned by Buffer. Even if you don't use Buffer's social media management platform, Pablo is still free to use and it creates quality images in a very short amount of time.
GetResponse is a new player in marketing automation, but it's created an incredibly easy and affordable user platform. Two of the key features are the cart abandonment and shopping cart integration options which is essential for any eCommerce business.
InfusitonSoft specializes in lead-nurturing and has a ton of testing and tracking features. It's a bit pricier than some of the others, but it's statistics reports will help you understand exactly what's going on in every campaign.
Copy Hackers is one of the prime online destinations on all things related to copywriting. In fact, their course, named the Starter Bundle, which is actually a series of ebooks, is still one of the best resources for budding copywriters.
Those who have completed the course swear by it and claim that it launched their copywriting skills into the stratosphere. Apart from their ebooks, marketers can also find tons of useful and valuable information on copywriting, marketing, and social media. The same goes for their blog section.
If you want to learn about digital marketing, then look no further than Marketing Land. And we do mean learn, because this website features articles with real advice and practical tips you can actually use in your marketing campaigns. In addition to that, they're also among the first to publish marketing-related news, which practically makes them your ultimate source if you want to keep up with all the latest changes in marketing.
Inbound.org is one of the best places for digital marketers to gather and exchange ideas, network, collaborate, discuss problems, and even find jobs thanks to the always active job board. As such, it's also a good place to learn, because its members will often discuss specific problems which you might run into as well.
This definitive guide on how to market a business was a collaboration between some of the best marketers we know. Startup Savant wouldn't be the same without your help and insight!
A HUGE thanks to Jackie Steinmetz, Ali Schwanke, Lorraine Ball, Lesley J. Vos, Micheal Gilmore and Benedict Brychta.

I like the fact that if you flip the little lever up the earpiece disconnects and turns off
I recently purchased the Morola H720 Bluetooth headset and so far it has been great! I have purchased several less expensive bluetooths in the past made by different companies and I have seemed to destroy all of them by accident. This one is durable, it will even close (fold) and fit in my pocket if I need it to and is made of sturdy plastic. It is very durable and is the perfect size and fit. The part that goes around the ear is flexible so it doesn't hurt your ear but is thick enough not to break. :) The only cons are: some of the people I talk to have a problem hearing me if there is a little to much noise in the background. They can hear the background noise better than they can hear me even though I can hear them just fine. If I use it at the house it has a better distance range than my older bluetooth but I wish the range was a little further. Other than that... it is GREAT and the price was very reasonable!
I had always been skeptical of Bluetooth earpieces - that they would be comfortable, clear, or useful. But, because of the recommendation of a friend, and the extremely low price here at Walmart.com, I took a chance on the Motorola H720. I have not been disappointed, not in the least. In fact, I have been very pleasantly surprised that this item has exceeded all my expectations.
Thanks to it's rubberized ear loop, light weight and such, it's very comfortable - even with glasses - to wear for hours. Its battery life is as advertised or a bit longer. The clarity of sound is very good - on my end and on the other end as well (I'm told). The biggest benefit, of course, is the hands-free convenience. I can walk around the apt. on the phone and still use both hands for the computer, to mix a drink or whatever. The useful range is about 20-30 feet, max. The multi-lingual instruction book is small, but gives all necessary information and is concise. It fully recharges in under 3-4 hours.
Two small quibbles - one, I wish it was easier to switch around the ear hook for use on the other ear (it comes set up for the right), and two, the top and bottom buttons are very thin and it's easy to push one when you're trying to push the other. It just takes practice and experience to take care of that.
Sits around the ear instead of in it. Execellent product pairs well.
This is the 3rd of the H700 series Headsets that I have owned I have loved all of them. This is the latest and best of the 700 series and now that the price has come down it is a great value. I am limited on the headsets that I can use because most of them have earpieces that stick in your ear and I have not found one that I find comfortable. The H720 does not have that problem. It has good noise canceling and I love the ease of powering it on and off. It is overall a great headset.
I have had several bluetooth devices in the past and this one is by far the best for functionality and for filtering out background noise, and it works great with my Motorola Atrix 4G. I like that it just hooks over the ear without having to have a bud placed in the ear, those can be very uncomfortable. If your phone has touch to talk all you need to do to make a call is click on the button and say "call Jane Doe" and it dials them - no need to fiddle with your phone while driving at all, to end a call just click on the button again and it disconnects. To save battery life all you need to do is flip the boom closed and it turns it off if you get a call while it is turned off just flip it open and it will automatically answer that call. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone who needs their hands free for driving, housework, or whatever.
I shopped all around before purchasing this product, and I LOVE it. what I like most is that it doesn't have the piece that goes in the ear which I hate. That is the kind I had before and it would never stay in my ear. This has the rubber piece that goes around the ear so it fits securely without having an uncomfortable feeling. All with the quality of Motorola. I can go anywhere even upstairs and downstairs in my house and can still talk on the phone. My phone doesn't have to move. If your looking for an earpiece without the hassle this is for you!!!!!!!!!!!
I've always loved the over the ear design of these Moto boom headsets - anything that goes in my ear makes my ear throb with pain after not very long.
I replaced my Moto H710 after yet another mic seemed to stop working. The H720 seems to be the replacement and has moved the mic off the boom to the main housing.
I've heard myself on the other end of this headset and the sound is decent. For the money it's great but if you want super sound you are going to spend 2 - 3 times as much and give up some comfort.
I purchased this headset to go with my new Panaxonic KX-TG7622 Bluetooth/Link to Cellular, dual phone/answering machine. I researched several bluetooth headsets before buying this one. I could have bought cheaper units, but I have experience with Motorola and their reputation preceeds them. The only complaint I have with this unit is that the ear loop is not long enough for my large ears, so the unit sits above the ear canal. However, the unit is plenty loud, crystal clear, the battery life is longer than most, lightweight (hardly know it's there) and bonded to the phone system with ease. The mic sensitivity is unbelievable. A person across the room speaks and the other party hears it even though this unit is on my ear 25ft away. One other little quirk for me is that the volume control buttons are a little stiff, but no big deal......once the volume is set to a comfortable level, I rarely touch it again. The range is very good, better than most and certainly better than some of the cheaper units. I would highly recommend this unit.
Bluetooth is very easy to pair to your phone. Once paired to your phone the bluetooth is very easy to use. Flip the mike open and bluetooth is on. Flip mike closed and bluetooth is off. Sound quality is excellant, no one has a problem hearing me. I don't have a problem hearing anyone. Bluetooth sits on your ear not in your ear. If you are looking for a bluetooth for your phone for the money and quality this is an excellant choice.
This Bluetooth is the best one i have ever had. It doesn't go inside the ear so there is no pain from the speaker rubbing. The ear piece is soft and comfortable so there is no pinching or rubbing from hard plastic. The sound quality is amazing. It has 8 hours plus of talk time it's just a wonderful item.
I have tried alot of headsets and always had issues.Hurt my ears,didnt fit right,didnt like them sticking in my ears,volume too low. I then found this one at one quarter of the price of some that I had. It is AWESOME. No earpieces stuck in your ear. Easy to operate,great distance,long lasting charge and best of all a COMFORT to wear all day. Do yourself a favour if you are like me and have tried in vain or hate wearing the one you have. Try this headset out. You will love it. I do.
This product is the absolute best. This is my 2nd blue tooth headset in the last few months.
My 1st purchase was also a Motorola, but the ear piece hurt my ear because of the piece that has to fit into your ear. It was made of rubber but it still hurt after a short while of use.
This Motorola doesn't have a piece to go into your ear. It has a piece that sticks out a little to rest comfortably in your ear with absolutely no pain at all. The sound is great and very easily paired with your cell phone. You can wear it all day. ** The price was great ** I paid twice as much for the first one.
I'm buying a few more as Christmas gifts.
I bought this Motorola Bluetooth for my wife to replace a similar Motorola that she has had for over two years that was finally wearing out. These flip to turn on units are great for people, like my wife, who tend to leave theirs turned on all the time and run the battery down fast. You know by just looking at this unit that its either on or off! No guessing. Becaue you know when its on or off, the battery life can be extened. And the talk time lasts for hours, which is nice for people who commute and need their hands free devices in the car. My wife also says its very comfortable because it fits against your ear, NOT in it like some models that you have to press directly into your ear. It has a nice fit, and stays put when you move around. Also, Motorola makes their bluetooth devices with anti wind noise technology, so they work really well in a moving car with the windows open, or if you are just using it outside. I hope this model lasts as long as the old one did. My wife does NOT treat her things gently, and these Motorola bluetooth sets seem to really be able to take the abuse. I highly recommend these to anyone who likes a comfortable, easy to use, and long lasting device.
This item works excellent. I have had four and have been pleased with them all. I just wish they would last more than a year.
I wasn't sure about this purchase, as I'm not one for all of the modern technology. However, I am very, very pleased with this unit. It works super with my new DROID X. Now I'm hands free. I would recommend this item to anyone.
I've been using a blue tooth headset for the past six years, all Motorola. This is the best one yet. I like the flip design which helps prevent me from making pocket calls. The voice quality is clear and volume adequate. Price at Walmart was right too. And, it's the genuine Motorola product unlike one that I bought elsewhere from a popular internet marketplace. That one was counterfeit and I had to send it back and pay the return shipping cost. I will always buy from now on from a trustworthy marketer such as Walmart and avoid the others.
Motorola H720 H720 Bluetooth Headset works great.
Great Bluetooth for the great price. This Bluetooth fit the bill for sound clarity, ease of use, and size.
It is so much better than the other blue tooths that I had in the past. The ear piece is so light it feels like nothing is there.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
The Latest On Bill Guerin
by Paul on 09/01/10 at 03:29 PM ET
Comments (2)
from Craig Custance of The Sporing News,
Unrestricted free-agent forward Bill Guerin confirmed in a text message to Sporting News that he's skating with the Flyers in Philadelphia, although he said it's nothing more than that right now.
"I was just in town," Guerin wrote. "Not hoping for a tryout. Just skating."
CSNPhilly.com's Tim Panaccio reported that a tryout offer with the Flyers is a possibility, but Guerin's agent tells Sporting News he's optimistic he'll get a contract done for Guerin rather than a tryout.

He has to skate somewhere… Philly has enough forwards and no goaltender. Why would they waste even more cap space on a 39-year old soon to be 40?

In: World Journal of Emergency Surgery 2012, 7:15
The CIAO Study is a multicenter observational study currently underway in 66 European medical institutions over the course of a six-month study period (January-June 2012). This preliminary report overviews the findings of the first half of the study, which includes all data from the first three months of the six-month study period. Patients with either community-acquired or healthcare-associated complicated intra-abdominal infections (IAIs) were included in the study. 912 patients with a mean age of 54.4 years (range 4-98) were enrolled in the study during the first three-month period. 47.7% of the patients were women and 52.3% were men. Among these patients, 83.3% were affected by community-acquired IAIs while the remaining 16.7% presented with healthcare-associated infections. Intraperitoneal specimens were collected from 64.2% of the enrolled patients, and from these samples, 825 microorganisms were collectively identified. The overall mortality rate was 6.4% (58/912). According to univariate statistical analysis of the data, critical clinical condition of the patient upon hospital admission (defined by severe sepsis and septic shock) as well as healthcare-associated infections, non-appendicular origin, generalized peritonitis, and serious comorbidities such as malignancy and severe cardiovascular disease were all significant risk factors for patient mortality. White Blood Cell counts (WBCs) greater than 12,000 or less than 4,000 and core body temperatures exceeding 38 degrees C or less than 36 degrees C by the third post-operative day were statistically significant indicators of patient mortality.

The Factory
There was once a young boy by the name of Felix. He was small in stature, with deep blue eyes and light brown hair; his complexion was that of complete innocence. Felix had a wonderful life, with two loving parents and numerous caring friends. While he was an only child, Felix found joy in the simplest things. He and his best friend Alec would spend hours exploring the wood around Felix's house. They would often return to their respective homes a mess of dirt and mud, but neither cared. Thus were the summers that Felix spent in childish bliss.
But as they say, bliss and ignorance are one and the same.
Felix's father worked at a respectable law firm. While he had no idea what a law firm was, Felix supposed that it was a pretty important job. He would always brag to his friends about his father, claiming that he was a shimmering example of how all fathers should be. In short, the boy adored his father. As such, I'm sure one can imagine the tragic disappointment which overcame Felix when he found out his father lost his job.
He remembered his parents talking one night, about how they hadn't enough money to support the household. Tears ran down Felix's face as he heard the grimness in his mother's voice.
"Honey, what are we going to do?"
His father sighed, "The only choice we have... is to move."
"Oh but what about Felix? You know how much he loves it here... It would break his heart to move."
"Darling, we have no choice. We either move or declare bankruptcy."
And so it was; by the end of the summer, Felix and his family had moved out and were heading south, to a place called Georgia. Felix hated the sound of it. The word alone made him cringe. He said his goodbyes to Alec and the rest of his friends before driving away with his mother. For some reason Felix couldn't understand, his father had stayed behind.
"He will fly down and meet us in a week. He's tying up a few loose ends with the house, honey. Don't worry about it."
But Felix did worry. He missed his father terribly already. For the innumerable hours that passed before arriving, Felix devised dozens of ways in which something could go wrong with his father. He continued this thought process as he stayed in the apartment with his mother. The week passed by slowly, and Felix was elated when his father called to say he would be there by morning. Finally comfortable, Felix slept well, dreaming about his father's arrival.
He woke up to his mother crying hysterically. The television buzzed with the drone of a news reporter's voice. Felix jumped out of bed and ran into his mother's bedroom. She was collapsed on the floor, still sobbing and moaning. She didn't even notice Felix. He wandered in cautiously, unnerved by his mother's unusual behavior. He looked at the television and saw pictures of a plane. It was beaten up badly, a wing ripped off and half of the plane virtually crushed.
Felix didn't understand why his mother was crying. He'd never even seen his mother cry before. He realized that was muttering something, a name. It was his father's. He furrowed his brow, confused as to why she would be saying his name and crying. He looked back at the television.
"...only five people out of eighty survived the crash. There's more speculation on..."
Dad was taking a plane wasn't he? That couldn't be his plane, could it?
"Mommy, where's dad? It's the morning, isn't it?"
She started, apparently ignorant to Felix's presence until this moment.
"Oh gosh, honey, come here!"
She embraced Felix tightly and rubbed his back.
"Mommy, Is dad okay?"
Five months passed, and much had changed for Felix. He went to a brand new school, his mother had a new time-consuming job, he'd lost all of his old friends, and worst of all, he no longer had his father. Felix was numb day in and day out. He was quiet in school and never acknowledged anyone unless he was asked a question by the teacher. The other children labeled him as an outcast and treated him as such.
Felix almost never saw his mother. She left him a microwaveable dinner and a note every night. It wasn't until after Felix was asleep that his mother would come home, sapped of all energy and spirit. The only time they got to see each other for more than a few minutes was on Sundays, when they went to church together. Except for his mother, Felix never willingly talked to anyone. Everyone was a stranger. No one would ever understand.
Felix cried often. His usual day consisted of getting up, going to school, coming home, crying, eating, crying more, then falling asleep. He was usually too distraught to care about homework or grades, though his mother pushed him to do well in school. Without his father, Felix felt empty. He had no friends to fill the gaping hole in his heart, and his mother was usually never around to comfort him. Crying was the only way Felix could ease his emotions. He had forgotten to count the days as they passed with painstaking deliberation.
Every day was like this for Felix.
That is, until he found the factory.

Fitness 19 was based by fitness industry veterans who believed that the standard well being club mannequin wasn't assembly the needs of most individuals. The end result is a straightforward fitness club concept – an extremely inexpensive, household-pleasant facility that offers state-of-the-art cardio, energy, and free weight gear.
True, intense exercising could be boring and hectic. A fitness coach will create methods so that you can stay loved throughout your classes (ex. place you in a bunch session) and he or she will show you ways that you may restrict your level of stress after a exercise (ex. utilizing a spa). If you'll enable a fitness coach to borrow your attention for a couple of minutes, you would understand that private fitness may be fun.
I've continued my regular exercise program and enjoyed having the ability to enter my workouts into the exercise portion of this system. However, I'm noticing that as a result of I am retaining an train log, it encourages me to do extra train throughout my day by day routine. Besides figuring out on the gym, I'm on the lookout for alternatives to stroll the dog or lift my hand weights for a couple of minutes at house. I'm even doing a few of these sit-up exercises that I keep on laying aside!
Participation in Recreation and Wellness Center applications is totally voluntary. Individuals participate at their own threat and assume duty for their own well being and security. The University of Central Florida and the Recreation and Wellness Center will not be answerable for accidents sustained during participation in a Recreation and Wellness Center sponsored exercise. It is strongly really useful that all contributors seek the advice of a physician and/or have a physical exam prior to participation. The University of Central Florida does not provide private accident/medical insurance. Therefore, individuals are urged to secure their very own insurance. You may endure physical and/or psychological injury from collaborating in these actions.
I turned a teacher as a result of I had so many unbelievable lecturers alongside the best way – from Pre-K all the best way to senior yr, and I knew very early on that I wanted to have the opportunity to positively influence teenagers the way so many of them positively impacted me. After all, they were the ones I saw day after day after day. They were going to have some sort of impression on me. And whereas I went into the profession thinking I was going to alter the world (Hook 'em Horns!) and that I was going to be the one who had the impact on them, it's my students who have had such an enduring influence on me. I'm presupposed to be the one educating, but I'm additionally doing a heck of quite a lot of learning.
This one is the favourite exercise of Adriana Lima. You can take your leaping rope in every single place you journey, and you'll train in every single place you discover a little bit house. You can start with 10 minutes of leaping rope if you're a beginner, however even for individuals who train usually 10 min are enough as well your metabolism and lift your heart rates.

Twelve-year-old activist takes on SeaWorld again
Wednesday, January 1, 2014, 10:49 AM -
A twelve-year-old activist first made the headlines when she jumped the barricade at the Macy's Day Parade to protest a SeaWorld.
And now she's ready to do the same at the Rose Parade in Pasadena, California.
The parade is a New Year's Day tradition and involves beautiful floats mostly made from dyed flowers.
But Rose McCoy, the young activist, is one of many PETA members that are in The Golden State to bring attention to the issues being raised about SeaWorld and their orca exhibits.
The issue was the focus of the documentary Blackfish. The film looked at the history of killer whales in captivity leading up to the 2010 killing of SeaWorld trainer Dawn Brancheau.
The documentary has been a PR nightmare for SeaWorld as several artists canceled performances at the park after the documentary aired on CNN in October.
We've talked things over, and decided not to play at Seaworld at this time. Please see all details here: https://t.co/SLz1LUp7Nf— Barenaked Ladies (@barenakedladies) November 28, 2013
Schools have also canceled trips to the park after the controversy arose.
SeaWorld posted a response to the documentary, as well as commenting on the change.org campaigns that began to appear. "This is a co-ordinated campaign of digital harassment and does not in any sense represent the opinions of the American public," the company said of the online petitions. "A far better measure is the number of people actually coming to SeaWorld."

I am not too good at competitive, so I would like a list of good hail OU sweepers, with movesets and all. hail sweeper weather movesets competitive ou asked Jan 26, 2014 by a Magikarp Please log in or register to add a comment. Please log in or register to answer this question. 1 Answer 3 votes Best answer Here is a few Pokemons that work in hail: Abomasnow @ Choice Scarf Ability: Snow Warning EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SAtk Hasty Nature - Wood Hammer - Blizzard - Earthquake - Ice Shard You can't have hail without Snow Warning, and Abomasnow is the only viable user of it. That said, it dosnt need to run a defensive set, but is more than capable to run all out attack. However, its stats are still subpar, so it works better in the lower tiers or as a late game sweeper. Kyurem @ Choice Scarf Ability: Pressure EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef Timid Nature - Blizzard - Dragon Pulse - Earth Power - Focus Blast There is nothing as terrifying in the Hail as Kyurem. Regardless of its form, this dragon is a beast, sporting great offensive typing and great stats. Any of the three forms are lethal in Hail, albeit Kyurem-W is banned from OU, and Kyurem-B prefer a mixed set to fully abuse its 170 Atk. Froslass @ Focus Sash Ability: Cursed Body EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef Timid Nature - Blizzard/Ice Beam - Spikes - Destiny Bond - Shadow Ball/Taunt Less of a sweeper and more of a utility Pokemon. It's great natural speed allows it to easily set up Spikes, and then revenge kill with Destiny Bond. This means it doesn't have to be the hardest hitter to do some damage, but rather just the fastest. Arcanine @ Choice Band Ability: Flash Fire EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef Adamant Nature - Flare Blitz - Wild Charge - Crunch - Close Combat With all these special Ice types running around, you will need to protect them any way you can. Arcanine's Flash Fire allows it to check multiple Pokemon that threatens Abomasnow and CO. Basically every Hail team will need a Pokemon to take a Fire Attack, and Arcanine, Chandelure and bulky Water types such as Vaporeon are the most common. Alakazam @ Focus Sash Ability: Magic Guard EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP Timid Nature - Psyshock - Shadow Ball - Focus Blast - Energy Ball Albeit having nothing to properly abuse the Hail, Alakazam's Magic Guard leaves it unaffected by Hail, which is always a nice thing. If you need something else than Ice types, Kazam is your guy. answered Jan 26, 2014 by Flafpert selected Jan 26, 2014 by a Magikarp Thanks, great answer, it helped a lot. I was going to make an OU hail team. commented Jan 26, 2014 by a Magikarp yeah i like that team. but if you want you could switch arcanine out with mamoswine with the ability thick fat (halves damage from fire and ice moves). commented Jan 26, 2014 by carmine147 yah i agree with carmine commented Jan 31, 2014 by a Magikarp Please log in or register to add a comment.

Holding Her Head High: Inspiration from 12 Single Mothers Who Championed Their Children and Changed Historyby Janine Turner

Life lessons from single mothers throughout history form the inspiration for single mothers today.
Single moms are not just a product of our modern culture. There have been single mothers throughout history, women who have raised not only their children but also nations with a higher vision for life. Holding Her Head High recounts stories of twelve such women from the third to the twenty-first centuries, women who found ways to twist their fates to represent God's destiny for their lives.
These uniquely powerful, brave women, within the scope of their own world and times, are like the ninety-nine percent of single mothers today who never intended to carry that distinction. They are abandoned, widowed, or divorced, all carrying wounds, yet they also all found ways to exhibit courage, kindness, dignity, and faith to heal themselves by healing others.
Actress Janine Turner, herself a single mother, describes the social implications for women and children from the Roman Empire through the Middle Ages to Pioneer days, including a single mother of slavery. Stories from women like Rachel Lavein Fawcett, abandoned single mother of Alexander Hamilton; Abagail Adams, a wartime widow; Harriet Jacobs, an unwed mother of slavery whose autobiography was published the year the Civil War began; and widowed Belva Lockwood, the first woman to officially run for President, all carrying wounds but all offering insight, wisdom, and encouragement. Lessons include:
- Listen for God's higher calling
- Hold your head high
- Dare to dream
- Champion your children
- Heal with humor
- Don't Give Up Before the Miracle

12 single mothers who championed their children and changed history

Chapter One
The Roman Empire-Setting the Stage 27 BC-AD 476
After the death and resurrection of Jesus, the conversion of Constantine may have been the most implication-laden event in western history. -James Carroll, Constantine's Sword
Rome. The Roman Empire. Vast. Vacillating. Murder and intrigue. Senators and emperors. War and warriors. Proudly civilized and grandly grotesque. Christians in chains and children's cries. A culture poised on the brink of change. Who will be their leader?
The Roman Empire was vast, from western Asia to Britain and Spain, from the Danube River in Central Europe to the edge of the Sahara Desert in North Africa. The eastern part of the empire survived until AD 476 and the Western Empire survived as the Byzantine Empire until AD 1453.
The early Roman population was pagan, tolerating the bane of human behavior, and could be easily justified as a religion steeped in evil, as exhibited in the games and circuses in places such as the Coliseum, which exhibited public displays of torture, violence, and death. Romans entertained themselves with triumphs, games, and great spectacles that concluded with slaughters of animals and humans. It was barbaric and cruel. Paganism also tolerated all sexual mores in their temples, ranging from sodomy to orgies, prostitution to bestiality and sadomasochism.
After the death and resurrection of Christ, Christians were subjected to horrific executions. The early church sustained an intense period of savage persecution, and Christians were brutally martyred by the Roman government up to twenty-five years before Constantine. And there was no collective, social consciousness that exhibited restraint or remorse. Infants' spirits were snuffed out as they were given as human sacrifices to the false gods. "Paganism prevailed in the land of the prophets." Darkness reigned.
The Father
By Roman law, the family was strictly patriarchal. The paterfamilias, the father, was the head of the Roman family. He owned the property acquired by his sons and had the right to sell his children into slavery or expose them. Women did have a few advantages compared to other centuries-they could divorce their husbands and control their own property. A woman was held under the legal control of the father until his death, even if she were married. After the death of her father, she was under the legal hand of her husband. If a woman was raped, she could not seek recourse, only her father or husband could press charges. A man could, by law, kill his wife if she was caught in an adulterous affair, but if a man committed adultery, he was not punished. Women had no status or political rights.
Marriage and childbearing were considered a woman's purpose in the Roman Empire. Marriages were arranged by the parents, and a young girl was usually married by the age of sixteen. The bride brought a dowry to the marriage, but unlike later centuries and societies, the dowry was not to be touched in case of unforeseen circumstances, such as divorce. Capturing a woman was a way of getting around a fixed marriage and was, perhaps, a way of getting the parents to accept a true love. However, this practice was later forbidden because it forbad the father the right to decide what was best for his daughter. Interestingly, divorce was very easily obtained during Roman times. A marriage was not considered holy, only a loose contract. Marriages were dissolved by mutual consent, the couple simply declaring their desire to divorce before seven witnesses.
The father also had control of a child's fate. Infanticide was an accepted act in the Roman culture. After birth a child was set at the feet of the father, who would lift the child into the air, deciding if the child should live or die. A wife could be disowned if she denied the father that decision. Infanticide was widely accepted, considered legal, and justified by philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle. Baby girls were more susceptible to the act of infanticide due to the considerable expense of wedding dowries. Roman law also forbad a man from taking in an abandoned child and saving it. Alarmingly, children were sometimes sealed in the foundations of bridges to strengthen the structures dating back to the walls of Jericho. Lloyd de Mause states, "To this day, when children play 'London Bridge is falling down' they are acting out a sacrifice to the river goddess when they catch a child at the end of the game." Disregard for children permeated all lands.
Light into Darkness
Then Christ. Light breathed into darkness. Christianity's mission was to spread "the light" through all ethnic cultures. Matthew 19:13-14 says,
Then little children were brought to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked those who brought them. Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." (NIV)
Children have value? Children belonged to the kingdom of heaven? This concept was revolutionary! Everyone, even the little children, was created in God's image. The Epistle of Barnabas prohibited infanticide, and following this law was considered essential to the "way of light." Infanticide was considered murder. Various Christian pamphlets taught, "You shall not commit infanticide." However, as long as Christianity was an underground religion hiding from persecution, efforts remained almost ineffectual.
Entering the world stage next was Constantine, whose conversion to Christianity and breadth of change he brought to Christians, Christianity, and to the Christian church is, according to James Carroll, author of Constantine's Sword, "the second greatest story ever told." Carroll expresses that "after the death and resurrection of Jesus, the conversion of Constantine may have been the most implication-laden event in western history."
Constantine unified a suppressed church and a scattered band of disciples. As the leader of the world's biggest empire, his acceptance of Christ paved the way for the end of persecutions of Christians and propelled the illumination of Christ's light upon a dark, barbaric land. Disciples could now spread the word about how, with Christ's intervention, the human spirit can transcend the limitations of evil and partake in the supernatural. The Christian way of life was to offer alternative behaviors to murder and perverse sexuality. Christians had been in hiding. Jerusalem had lain as a wasteland but the scene was set to change. God had chosen Constantine through a divine vision to be a facilitator of unity for Christians and the Christian church.
Constantine, the son of Helena Augusta.
Then Christ. Light breathed into darkness ... Jesus, by reaching out to little children, validated and honored the life of a child. -Janine Turner

Since my blog of 2007 concerning my time as a boarder at the Visitation Convent school 1942-1947, I have noted with interest that other former pupils (though not from the years I was there) have commented on their experiences of the place. Mostly, their memories are sad and bitter ones. It has made me think back again at my years there. Were such things as they have mentioned really going on, and I never knew about them? All I can say, is that I was never maltreated during the whole of those years, nor did I see or hear of any other boy being beaten or forced to eat his own vomit by the nuns, or being refused permission to go to the toilet, or being so oppressed that suicide would be contemplated. In my opinion, the nuns were dedicated to looking after us - and this they did to the best of their ability. Of the 20+ nuns at the convent when I was there, there were only perhaps three that I didn't get on with too well - not bad going. The teaching was of a high standard thanks to Sr. Anne, Sr. Edith and Sr. Magdalen. OK, Sr. Anne did tap me on the head with the end of a pencil a couple of times for getting my sums wrong - so what! What else do I remember? I remember the kindness shown to me always by Sr. Catherine, Sr. Anne Selma and Sr. Therese, and also by Sr. Helen Joseph, who used to teach in the little school in Chideock. I remember Sr. Julianne playing the harmonium in our chapel, and Sr. Georgina always working away in the wash house. Yes, the porridge could be lumpy, and I didn't like marrow or spinach, but the sisters were catering for quite a number of boys. One could hardly expect meals to be as Mum made them. And lastly, I remember our walks on Tuesday and Saturday afternoons and afterwards attending Benediction in the Chapel, with the nuns and ourselves singing the old hymns. No, for me, not a harsh existence, but one that I remember with affection.
James McGuinness. Convent number 74.

Kushan Empire, Shaka, c. 325 - 345 A.D.
This coin has a Brahmi inscription "Shaka" in the right field, in the same place where Vasudeva II's coins read "Vasu." It is natural to suppose that perhaps Shaka was the name of the king who issued the coin. There is a mention of one "Devaputra Shahi Shahanshahi Shaka Murunda" in Samudragupta's famous Allahabad inscription, as one of the rulers who paid him homage. In this context, Shaka could be a title, it could refer to a tribe, or it could be a personal name. In any case, it seems to be related to the Shaka coins. Robert G�bl did not think Shaka was the name of a ruler; rather, he thought the coins were tribal issues, but Michael Mitchiner and many other authors do think Shaka was a king.
SH85122. Gold dinar, G�bl Kushan 585; cf. ANS Kushan 1671, Donum Burns 760 - 762, gVF, small hairline flan crack, scratch on reverse, weight 7.823 g, maximum diameter 19.7 mm, die axis 0o, uncertain mint, c. 325 - 345 A.D.; obverse Shaka standing left, sacrificing over altar, filleted staff in left hand, filleted trident to left, Brahmi bhi to right of altar, Brahmi sya below arm, Brahmi inscription Shaka outer right; reverse goddess Ardoxsho enthroned facing, diadem in right hand, cradling cornucopia in left arm, tamgha upper left; $800.00 (�712.00) ON RESERVE
Lot of 10 Nice Indo-Greek and Local Imitative Bronze Coins

Indo-Greek Kingdom, Menander I Soter, c. 155 - 130 B.C.
Menander is the most important Greek king who ruled in India and the only Greek king mentioned in Indian literature. Tradition maintains he was a wise and powerful King, who converted to Buddhism. This is further evidenced by his later coin legends which translate, "follower of the Dharma."WA79645. Silver drachm, SNG ANS 879, Mitchiner IGIS 218c, Bopearachchi Smithsonian 124, Bopearachchi 16I, HGC 12 193, SNG Cop -, gVF, attractive style, toned, reverse off center, light marks, weight 2.451 g, maximum diameter 17.6 mm, die axis 0o, Paropamisadai or Gandhara, uncertain mint, c. 155 - 130 B.C.; obverse BAΣIΛEΩΣ ΣΩTHPOΣ MENAN∆POY, draped bust right, wearing diadem and crested helmet ornamented with bull's horn and ear; reverse Kharosthi legend: Maharajasa Tratarasa Menadrasa (of Great King Menander the Savior), Athena Alkidemos standing left, brandishing thunderbolt in right hand, shield on left arm, Kharosthi monogram right; $160.00 (�142.40)
Baktrian Kingdom, Euthydemos I Theos Megas, c. 225 - 195 B.C.
Euthydemus was allegedly a native of Magnesia and a son of General Apollodotus. According to Polybius, Euthydemus was a Satrap of Sogdiana who ousted the dynasty of Diodotus from Bactria and made himself king. His kingdom seems to have been substantial, including Sogdiana to the north, and Margiana and Ariana to the south or east of Bactria. When Antiochus III the Great attacked in 208 B.C., Euthydemus lost the Battle of the Arius but then resisted a three-year siege in the fortified city of Bactra. Euthydemus negotiated peace asserting that he toppled the descendants of the rebel Diodotus and provided a barrier to barbarian invasions. Antiochus decided to recognize him as king, and offered one of his daughters to Euthydemus' son Demetrius.AW73959. Bronze double unit, Kritt Dynastic AK-1, Bopearachchi series 17, SNG ANS 147, Mitchiner IGIS 87, SGCV II 7523, HGC 12 53 (R1), F, thick flan with beveled edge, corrosion, weight 7.245 g, maximum diameter 23.4 mm, die axis 45o, Ai Khanoum mint, c. 225 - 208/6 B.C.; obverse bearded head of Herakles right; reverse horse prancing right, BAΣIΛEΩΣ above, EYΘY∆HMOY below; scarce; $120.00 (�106.80)
Kushan Empire, Kanishka I the Great, c. 127 - 150 A.D.
Kanishka I the Great ruled an empire in Bactria extending from Turfan in the Tarim Basin to Pataliputra on the Gangetic plain, c. 127 - 150 A.D., with his capital at Purusapura in Gandhara. He is famous for his military, political, and spiritual achievements. His conquests and patronage of Buddhism played an important role in the development of the Silk Road, and the transmission of Mahayana Buddhism from Gandhara across the Karakoram range to China. AW84802. Bronze tetradrachm, G�bl Kushan 768, Mitchiner ACW 3077, BMC India 46, Whitehead Panjab 68, aVF, thick tight flan, some, weight 17.632 g, maximum diameter 24.8 mm, die axis 315o, Purusapura(?) mint, c. 128 - 150 A.D.; obverse Bactrian legend: PAO KA-NhPW (King Kanishka), king standing half left, diademed head left, sacrificing at altar at feet on left, long scepter vertical in left hand; reverse sun god Mithra standing left, radiate nimbus around head, raising right hand commanding sunrise, left hand on sword hilt at side, tamgha left, Bactrian legend: MIIRO curving downward on right; scarce; $80.00 (�71.20)
Indo-Scythian Kingdom, Azes II, c. 35 B.C. - c. 5 A.D.
Azes II may have been the last Indo-Scythian king in the northern Indian subcontinent (modern day Pakistan). Indo-Scythian rule crumbled under the conquests of the Kushans who expanded into India to create the Kushan Empire. Senior and Hoover now believe Azes II did not exist and attribute all Azes coins to Azes I or as posthumous imitative issues. A type attributed to Azes I has been found overstruck on a coin traditionally attributed to Azes II, supporting their hypothesis.BB75464. Silver drachm, cf. Senior 105.223D, Fr�hlich 222, cf. Mitchiner IGIS 859 (various controls), HGC 12 655, gF, toned, tight flan, porous, weight 1.857 g, maximum diameter 15.2 mm, die axis 270o, Mir Zakah(?) mint, obverse BAΣIΛEΩΣ BAΣIΛEΩN MEΓAΛOY AZOY, king on horseback riding right, whip in right hand, Kharosthi monogram (control) right; reverse Kharosthi legend: maharajasa rajatirajasa mahatasa Ayasa, Zeus standing left, Nike extended in right hand, transverse scepter in left hand, Kharosthi monogram (control) left, B over Kharosthi letter Vi (control) right; $27.00 (�24.03)
Indo-Scythians, Kushanas Yuezhi in Hindu Kush and Gandhara, c. 55 - 45 B.C., Imitative of Hermaios
Hermaios, the last Indo-Greek king, ruled in the Hindu-Kush region, from Alexandria in Arachosia (Kandahar, Afganistan), c. 105 - 90 B.C. His prosperous rule ended when the Scythian Kushanas Yuezhi invaded from neighboring Bactria. With his defeat, the isolated area of Greek domination in the east, which had lasted three centuries since the invasion of Alexander the Great, came to an end.
