Detroit Has Something to Sing About Thanks to CODACODA and Ron Rose Productions complete an original tribute song to the city (May 04, 2005)
John Nixon, executive producer at Coda
The song showcases Detroit's rich musical history with its lyrics shining a spotlight on the city's many new and exciting events happening in and around metro Detroit. Already heralded a success by critics and social commentators alike, the anthem has enjoyed heavy rotation on local radio stations and has been used liberally at local trade shows, meetings and conferences in an effort to attract businesses and tourists to come to Detroit.
"The Biggest challenge was coming up with something that sounded positive without trying to be all things to all people," said Nixon, executive producer at CODA. "I didn't originally write the song to be a radio hit but rather more as a jingle or promotional song to be left behind at meetings. Today the song is being made into a music video and :30 and :60 second radio spots. I'm thrilled that it has touched a chord with a wide ranging audience. That was the goal."
The DMCVB also hopes to use the uplifting tune to boost enthusiasm for several big events coming to town, namely the Major League All-star game this summer and Super Bowl XL in February 2006.
"We were proud of landing this job, especially because of our long affiliation with Detroit having been here nearly 30 years," said Ron Rose, president of Ron Rose Productions. "John (Nixon) nailed the "Detroit Sound" that the client was looking for right on the head – a difficult feat considering all of the different influences this city has given rise to in the world of music."

In September of 2016, the U.S. Justice Department and other federal agencies delayed the Dakota Access Pipeline, in what was called an "unprecedented" action. Prior to the delay of the pipeline, federal courts had given their approval, and the Energy Transfer Partners had obtained the appropriate permits to complete the construction of the pipeline.
Now, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has delayed construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline, further impeding energy production and job creation in the United States.
The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, along with other environmental activists, have been protesting for the pipeline to be rerouted, so that it will not cross under Lake Oahe in South Dakota. Energy Transfer Partners already received permission from the U.S. Army to build underneath Lake Oahe, and delaying construction due to the recent protests is costing the company time and money.
In the past few months, over 500 people have already been arrested during protests on the construction site of the pipeline. Further delaying the pipeline will only justify the illegal behavior of the environmental activists.
Sign this petition to tell the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to allow the Dakota Access Pipeline construction to continue!

Rumors that Akron (Ohio) Garfield running back and Buckeye commitment Chris Wells might make an unofficial visit to Michigan to see the Ohio State-Michigan game were just that, rumors. But Wells did watch the game on television.
"I watched it," Wells said. "It was wild. It was crazy. At first Ohio State dominated. Then they just went with the flow. Then the 88 yard drive was the best I've ever seen in college football. I was real happy for Ohio State. I called coach Bollman after the game to congratulate him."
Wells made an official visit to USC earlier this month.
Article Continues Below
"Michigan is still recruiting me," Wells said. "But I told everyone I'm going to Ohio State. I don't know yet when my official visit will be."
Wells will graduate in January and take part in Ohio State's spring practice.
"Antonio Pittman is a great back," Wells said. "I'm just going to come in and work as hard as possible."
The 6-foot-1 and 227-pound Wells rushed for 2134 yards and 28 touchdowns during his senior season. Wells finished his high school career with over 5700 yards rushing.
Wells is the No. 2 running back prospect in the Rivals.com player rankings and the No. 1 prospect in the state of Ohio.

Getting ready!
So I am 35 weeks now
Went to the midwife today, measured 35 1/2 weeks, picked up my birthing kit and paid off the rest of the bill for the birth!
I am so excited for this baby to come, it needs to stay in another 2 weeks but I bet it won't come until after christmas...
I am currently potty training my daughter since she started demanding to use the potty about a month ago so my days have been quite busy, I plan to switch to underware for her tomorrow and see how that goes. We still don't know if we will have her there for the birth or not, she is 19 months old.
Has anyone had their children under two at the birth and how did it go?
Re: Getting ready!
Oh gosh...you look beautiful. Seriously....You look so happy and you just look like the ideal pregnant woman! :)
YAY on the bill being paid off and being all ready. How exciting.....
Re: Getting ready!
Yay for a belly pic! You look amazing! Glad everything is coming together. I had BE at my birth and he did great. He got in the pool with me for a little while and we blew bubbles. Obviously I was still coping pretty well at that point ;) I did have my mom and sisters there to help wit him though. Baby was born just before nap time, so he was a little grumpy, but it all worked out great as he was asleep while we got everything cleaned up. By the time he woke up, I was settled in bed :)
He handled the birth really well! He did start to cry after Conlan was born, because Conlan was crying, but once we assured him he was ok he was fine.
I'm so excited for you!! I will be thinkin of you!
Re: Getting ready!
How exciting!!!
My ds1 was 35mo when dd was born and he was asleep, she was born first thing in the morning and then we woke him. Dd was 28mo when ds2 was born and she had a bit of a rough time right before I hit transition, but she was lots nicer after her nap. Her and ds1 were in the room next to us when ds2 was actually born. This time ds2 is going to be 24mo and I'm really hoping it'll happen in the night again because I don't think HE will handle it well. I think it just depends on the kid.
Re: Getting ready!
Well it is good to hear other young children did fine, I think Mariah might just do fine (she is very tolerant). We'll just see what happens but this makes me feel better.
Re: Getting ready!
Your daughters sweet curls remind me of my Gretchen when she was a toddler....she had such CUTE little curls when she was a baby! :)
Re: Getting ready!
How exciting!
Re: Getting ready!
Wow, you look beautiful! THis is my first homebirth and I have a 4, almost 7 and almost 9 year old. I would like them to be with me when I give birth. They seem keen on the idea. I am hoping it happens at night and we wake this when I am ready to push. That would be ideal. Anyone else have older kids???
Re: Getting ready!
You look fantastic!!
My oldest three (11, 9, almost 5) were there at my last birth. The younger two (3 and 21 months) were in the house but not in the room. If they had expressed interest I would have had them there.

Thank you, Karen!
We still need 2 knitters, and we'll be ready to get started!
Love to help with the Lapghans.Sign me up:knitting: Connie
I would like to join in on this one!
Yay!!! We now have enough knitters to get started!:cheering: :woohoo: :cheering:
I'll put the names in order geographically, and post the list. If you have any allergies to pets or tobacco smoke, please let me know. Also, if you are a smoker, or have pets, I need to know that also. I can re-arrange the names according to your needs, so now is the time to speak up!
Here's the preliminary map I just drew up, figuring a decent plan for our blanket's geographic travels.
Wow, Sandy, that is impressive! Not only are you a talented knitter, but you are really good at this computer stuff too. You put so much time and effort into these projects, and we really appreciate all you do. Thanks for keeping us organized. Do you make house calls?
:muah: I used to be an executive assistant. Now, I am the Oddball assistant instead. :teehee:
I have dogs. Please schedule me accordingly.
I think you'll be the last knitter, so it looks good!
Looks like I'm in the middle of this one. That gives me some time to whip up a few more 5-hour baby sweaters and some hats for Africa. Looking forward to working on this project! It's so neat to see everyones creativity and how this all comes together in such a beautiful way. Thanks Sandy for keeping everything so organized! Becky
I have dogs.
I think that I am the only one with allergies to pet hair.
Does anyone else have a problem with it?
I'm okay, because I'm working on the blanket now, and will wash it when it comes back from all its travels.
I sometimes have a problem with cat hair, but I'm not highly allergic so I should be okay; however, I do have problems with smoke/tobacco.
I do have a dog, but she doesn't get on the furniture and doesn't bother my knitting projects, but I thought I should let you know.
Is there a smoker in our group? Or is there a smoker in your household?If so, I'll need to put you at the end of the list.
I only need to know if people actually smoke inside your house, or around your knitting area.
No smokers anywhere near me...... Becky
No worries here - I don't have any allergies and there are no smokers and only outside dogs here.
I have 2 cats and a dog ,all of whom are kept far away from my knitting. They are not allowed in my knitting room. No smokers here!
I've been dragging my feet a bit with our Orphan Blanket, but I'm almost finished! I'm using two different yarns, to make a striped section. Some vintage Caron Wintuk in the color "Baby Yellow", and some Caron Simply Soft Brites in "Mango".
Pretty! The yellow and mango really compliment the dark green.
Looks great!

Greetings colleagues:
IMHO, Here is my collective thought on calibration: First of all I would like to thank SomeJoe, Randyl, and the other learned uverse colleagues on their continued support on this community. With their input, I have achieved the perfect HD picture on uverse. For your reference, my television set is Samsung, pn50b450.
If you look into my history, you will see that I am truly concerned with quality HD picture and proper calibration. I personally rewired my home for uverse service, studied SomeJoe's calibration technique using HDNET pattern, reviewed Randyl's caution regarding calibration, and the calibration for dummies website, among other things. This was about two years of research and trial & error. Guess what? With patience, they do work.
Initially, I tried to achieve the perfect D6500K (313,329) picture, but this PQ is usually assigned to the movie/cinema mode which is a little too dark for some people or in some environments. The standard or normal mode, which is a little brighter than the movie mode, may be a better calibration choice for a brighter picture. From my research, this standard/normal mode may have a technical reference point of x=.288, and y=.296 (calibration jargon), if you are using the user menu's white balance in the advanced settings and a colorimeter.
Using a blue ray player source with the DVE calibration dvd, I set all of the adjustments to default and turned off the additional features like enhancements, etc. Calibrating the contrast, brightness, and white balance to the above reference point produced a decent picture, with gamma referenced on the colorimeter at 2.22. During this calibration, I found out that the contrast was too high and reduced it accordingly, per calibration for dummies website. The gamma adjustment in the advanced settings in the user menu was also adjusted to -1 to get a measurement on the colorimeter close to 2.2.
Next, I had to adjust the picture setting (brightness only) for uverse. I switched the hdmi connection from the blue ray player to the uverse stb and turned on the HDnet calibration pattern, which I previously recorded. I only adjusted the brightness, with the sharpness turned all the way down. Result? Immediate perfect picture. The calibration technical temperature for the standard mode is running about 9000K, which is higher than the D6500K goal, but the picture looks great.
If you are interested, here are my settings:
For uverse hdmi source: standard mode, cell 4, contrast 72, brightness 51 but adjusted to 46 for uverse, sharpness 0, color tint default 50, black tone off, dynamic contrast off, gamma -1, color space native, white balance: r setoff 24, g setoff 25, b setoff 36, r gain 28, g gain25, b gain 34, flesh tone 0, edge enhancement off, color tone normal, size screen fit, digital nr off, hdmi black level low, film mode off.
My (untested) blue ray settings for movies are (No uverse adjustments) movie mode @ D6500K,
movie, cell 7, contrast 82, brightness 51, sharpness 0, color tint default 50, black tone off, dynamic contrast off, gamma 2, color space native, white balance: r setoff 20, g setoff 25, b setoff 30, r gain 40, g gain25, b gain 40, flesh tone 0, edge enhancement off, color tone normal, size screen fit, digital nr off, hdmi black level low, film mode off.
These above settings may or may not work on your samsung, as all televisions are different.
Thanks again to the learned uverse colleagues. I believe that Uverse does indeed deliver a quality HD picture.
Vincentfam, no longer the hermit.
Thanks for posting proof it CAN be done (improved PQ on UV).
I decided to follow some of your setting suggestions. There were menu options that seem to not exist on my Samsung TV so I only did a few of the settings. Even with the few adjustments that I've made it has made the picture look a whole lot better. The macroblocking is nowhere near as noticable (especially on dark scenes) as it once was for me.
Only thing that seems to present macroblocking right now is when the whole picture changes. But that's probably because my TV's only a 60 Hz TV as versus some of the more advanced 120 and 240 Hz TVs.
spd2demun, you do of course realize that you are one of the respected learned uverse peers?
Always in high def,
Vincentfam, no longer the hermit.
I'm just glad to see someone post that by following SJs and others' instructions here, it can be improved. May you be an example to all the naysayers who come here and say otherwise.

Let the Right One In (dir. Tomas Alfredson)
Beautiful, elegaic, haunting and often terrifying, this is the only vampire film of 2008 that's worth talking about. It paints vampires, not as romantic nor earth-shatteringly beautiful creatures. But sad, lonely ones who walk the earth in search of a place to be--and blood, of course. Oscar and Eli trump Edward and Bella (yawn...wake me when this stupid fad is over) in every way. And this film boasts one of the best ending (or near-ending) sequences captured on celluloid this year. It richly earns its spot here.
Milk (dir. Gus Van Sant)
"It announces itself early on, proudly and unapologetically gay and gay and gay. This is a gay movie about the beginnings of the fight for gay rights, pioneered by one very charismatic, very courageous and very openly gay leader--Harvey Milk. None of this "this is a film about people. This is a film about human rights." Wrong. I mean, yes, I suppose it is, but that's missing the point and only further goes to obscure the issue. Harvey Milk wouldn't have wanted the film classified that way. He would have said, loudly and proudly, "this is a gay film." Those who say yes, welcome. And those who in all of their bigotry and single-mindedness dare to say no can go home and watch the world pass you by. This film is gay and it isn't making any apologies, nor should it. This is the film Gus Van Sant set out to make. The result is his best work in many years (possibly since Drugstore Cowboy) and one of the best (if not the best) performance of Sean Penn's career." (Read my full review of Milk here)
Rachel Getting Married (dir. Jonathan Demme)
" It's very reminiscent of The Celebration, obut it stands on its own. In a lesser film, these [stylistic choices] could all serve to distract. But Demme and cinematographer Declan Quinn know exactly what they're doing here. This is a total departure for Demme and it is easily his best work in years....Freshman writer (and daughter of director Sidney Lumet) definitely has a handle on creating fully formed, flesh-and-blood characters that don't feel like caricatures. It's a very common trend in films about dysfunctional families to create cut-and-paste archetypes that feel overused and stale. In Rachel Getting Married, you believe every word that comes out of these characters's mouths. Nothing is gimmick. It all feels real and incredibly heartwrenching." (Read my full review of Rachel Getting Married here)
WALL-E (dir. Jonathan Demme)
Could it be? Two unconventional love stories nominated here? WALL-E was an uphill battle for me. I have mostly been immune to the charms of Pixar, dating back as far as Finding Nemo. I've been reluctant, curmudgeonly. But after Ratatouille and now WALL-E, are we seeing the beginnings of an animation renaissance? A transformation of the medium from a channel for songwriters and Robin Williams to a form of high art? Watching WALL-E, I couldn't help but think that maybe we're in the thick of such a renaissance, and I've been too slow to realize. Beautifully composed shots, yes. Brilliantly written and animated, in a rare show of restraint and nuance on the part of Disney/Pixar. Gorgeously animated, of course. But ultimately, its story--a love story of two beings trying to find their way in a world gone mad is what snared me. Like EVE, I was won over the minute WALL-E looked at me with those big soulful eyes and I'm not the least bit ashamed to say it.
The Wrestler (dir. Darren Aronofsky)
"Mickey Rourke is Randy "The Ram" Robinson, a popular wrestler from the 1980s, who is way past his prime, but still wrestles professionally simply because it's the only thing he's built for. It's the only thing he's ever done that makes sense to him. We often don't realize how elusive that meaning is for people (even ourselves) and what we will do to hold on to it...The Wrestler is a film that has been talked up so much this year, what with Mickey Rourke's comeback performance that's sure to garner an Academy Award nomination. But the film blindsides you. You're expecting it to be good. You're not expecting it to be this good and in this way. It stands with Rachel Getting Married as two of the only films I've seen this year that completely defied expectation. This is a fine addition to Darren Aronofsky's catalogue of films and certainly one of the best pictures of the year." (Read my full review of The Wrestler here)

The past few years may have been difficult for the construction industry, but figures released recently suggest things are back on track – and getting better.
The Construction Industry Training Board suggests more than 4,100 construction apprenticeship will be available in the East of England alone every year for the next four years, as building projects take off once more.
Tiptree firm Punch Construction took on two apprentices last year, three this year, with hopes to take on more in the years to come.
Nicola Arnull, whose husband Darren launched the business 14 years ago, says: "We use apprentices to build our business because we found we could train them in the skills we specifically need."
Punch Construction specialises in traditional restoration work, requiring its staff to be trained in skills such as carpentry. It has completed works at landmarks such as Layer Marney Tower, churches and also private houses.
Nicola says: "Luckily we continued to be busy throughout the recession, but in the past year work has really picked up to the point something needed to happen. We needed more carpenters, but we couldn't find anyone with the skills we wanted so offering apprenticeships was the only way to go."
Nicola says not everyone wants to study at university, some people just prefer to learn and earn.
The CITB says the cost of university would leave students in debt to an average £25, 941.
In comparison, students get paid while they learn on apprenticeships, with employers often supported financially by the Government and in industry-specific apprenticeships, by the CITB too.
A separate survey, by Bibby Financial Services, found small construction companies have been confident about growth, with sales expected to increase, and work flooding in from large housing developers.
Nicola says: "Apprentices in the constructing industry have to want to do this.
"It's not a job you want to do just to fill time.
"They have to be hard working, good timekeepers and understand how their behaviour impacts on the owners of the property they are working on as we also work on private homes.
"Working on restoring old buildings means you need to use your brain, you need an interest in that sort of thing.
"With the way things are going we hope to continue taking on new apprentices."

Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high,
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream really
do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
Away above the chimney tops,
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why then -- oh, why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, why can't I?

The Secret Garden
This is one of my FAVORITE books! I love the story.
It beings, very sad wih a very neglected and spoiled little girl losing her whole household in one fell swoop. Mary Lennox is the main character. She grew up in India, but when a deadly disease kills her family. She must leave her home to live with her Uncle in his manor in York Shire, England.
Living at the Manor Mary makes some strange friends ( the grounds gardener, servant girl, her uncles son Colin, and a woods boy). When Mary discovers the Secret Garden, a garden enclosed by a wall for ten years, she decides she will take care of it. and with some help from her friends turns the garden into a lovely haven.
Colin who once was a spoiled brat, like Mary, is transformed into a new person by the companionship Mary gives him. Mary herself is transformed.
I really loved the pictures in this book it had a very nice effect ( the colored pictures with the black and white ones). The first time I picked up this book I didn't like it (it gave me a head ache!). But when I picked it up again a few years later, I had a different reaction. It was so magical, i couldn't put it down! The story made me laugh, frown, cry ( a LITTLE), and want a secert Garden of my own (I've wanted one ever sense). When ever I think of this book I want to vist Ireland (don't ask me why).
I hope to get a copy of my own, one day, and pass it down to my own children.
So I hope you'll read The Secret Garden, and find the one inside of yourself (and it needs constant love, watering, and nurturing).

Kuala Lumpur, June 3 (IANS) Designer Gaurang Shah's latest collection Umrao, an insight into traditional Indian exotic fabrics, will open the fashion weekend here on Saturday at Indian International Film Academy (IIFA) awards.
"Fashion Revivalist Gaurang Shah will make his debut at the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards in Kuala Lumpur- after being chosen to showcase 26 looks from his latest collection 'Umrao' at IIFA weekend fashion extravaganza , an event dedicated to fashion," read a statement.

Life science is the study of life around us. It comprises the exploration of living organisms and life processes, allowing students to engage with the environment around them. It encompasses the study of life from the minutest cells, through tissues and organisms to large communities of plants and animals.
Life Sciences is not an easy subject- it has a language all of its own, and an extremely broad scope of topics. It tests your cognitive ability and often leaves one in awe of the living world. A much greater appreciation for the complexity of living organisms is therefore achieved through studying Life Sciences.
Your body is an intricate system of muscles, bones and organs, and it is very important to maintain it properly. Life Sciences allows students to make a more conscious decision about how they treat their bodies and gives them a better understanding of the severity of certain health-related conditions and diseases. It does not only keep their health in check, but also teaches them the importance of conserving our resources and protecting our plants and animals.
Life Sciences provides you with a large number of skills and involves quite a bit of practical work, some of which involve: animal organ dissections; model- building; plant experiments; organic chemistry experiments and much more. It also gives students a huge advantage in some possible career fields, from medicine to biotechnology.
This subject, as mentioned before, is not easy and it requires hard work, dedication and regular systematic study in order to excel. That being said once you start working, and get your nose stuck in a Life Sciences textbook, you often find it hard to stop. Developing a passion and love for this subject will push you so much further.
By now you should have an insightful view of this wonderful subject, all of which is upheld by the members of the Life Sciences Department, with their combined teaching abilities and years of experience, caring nature and enthusiasm for the subject. They will go out of their way to help students succeed and become commendable young biologists. The extremely well-qualified staff members make the subject more enjoyable and keep the passion stirred within their students.

So as it's National Tea Day on the 21st, I thought I'd best put the kettle on and tell you why a good cuppa is such an important moment in my day to day life.
Tea drinking is so ingrained in Brit culture that a 20 minute tea break is actually legally required in all workplaces across the UK. How awesome is that when you think about it? Whilst you'd assume this could just be called a 'lunch break' like everyone else would probably call it, I totally understand why (and love) that the UK government refers to it as a 'tea break'. A quiet moment with a good cuppa is sacred to us and clearly, everyone is in a general agreement that we would literally struggle to function without it.
Believe it or not, when I started Gluten Free Cuppa Tea, I didn't count myself as much of a tea drinker. That's because whenever someone asks if you'd like a cup of tea, you only really have three responses at best: "yes please", "no, thanks" or "do you have decaff?" and that's it. It's so often the case that when us Brits say tea, we often mean a builder's tea (to which I've never been a fan) and that's usually where your options end. A few years ago, I've always prolifically said to everyone that I wasn't a tea or a coffee drinker, but realistically, you can only drink double-concentrated squash for so long into your twenties before it gets a little shameful. I guess you could say that I was having a quarter-life beverage crisis!
But over the last few years, my tea revelation came when I realised… there's more to life than just builder's tea! A whole world of herbal teas, fruit teas and every blend in between await you, if only you were bold enough to break the mold. Could I be one of those zen green tea drinkers? What even is the difference between Earl Grey and English Breakfast anyway? Why do we always put milk in tea when literally no other tea requires it? It's hard to know where to start in the alternative world of tea and I had so much to learn, but luckily for me, I quickly fell in love with peppermint tea. As you all know, my stomach and I have a troubled relationship and peppermint tea is the perfect referee in the ongoing feud. If I could change the name of my blog to Gluten Free Peppermint Tea, then I'm sure many of you wouldn't be surprised to hear that I would gladly do so!
But luckily for me, The English Tea Shop got in touch and only further opened my eyes to the vast amount of variety (or varietea!) that there truly is when it comes to a good cuppa. They sent me a wonderful infusions tea collection gift tin which was full of nine eclectic and exciting ways to enjoy a cuppa. It was only when I had the collection in my hands that I realised how sacred a 'tea break' really is to me and how many possibilities awaited me in this humble tin! This is the simplest way I can put it: going for a cup of tea is so much more than just having a beverage. To me it could mean a moment of well deserved peace and quiet during a hectic day at work, a chat with Mark about an exciting new project we're planning or like I said, the perfect way to calm my stomach when all else fails. Basically, a good cuppa is always the route to something positive and that's why I think something as simple as a cup of tea has become integral to my daily life.
The English Tea Shop gift tin obviously had my favourite partner in crime (peppermint tea) as well as a few favourites, but the unique blends and twists on classics really peaked my attention. Never had I ever dreamt that I would explore the world of tea and come across Green Tea Tropical or Chocolate, Rooibos and Vanilla, but I'm so glad that I did! Rarely will you ever see me venture away from peppermint tea, but I know a good opportuni-tea when I see one! (sorry, I promise to go easy on the tea puns) There were lots of caffeine free options too which Mark was more than pleased to steal as soon as he saw them!
So all that's left to say is… Happy National Tea Day! I hope you all agree how important it is to schedule a little 'me time' (or as I prefer to call it: 'tea time'!) as life can be pretty hectic at the best of times. Thanks so much to The English Tea Shop for helping me to remember to appreciate every serene moment with a good cuppa and for providing me with enough tea to last several tea parties. If you're jealous of my new tea collection, then don't be! The English Tea Shop are giving away 25 of my infusions collection gift tin over on their Facebook and Twitter (their Instagram is a tea lover's dream too) so I wish you the best of luck in winning 72 moments of tea drinking serenity in a lovely tin!
Thanks for reading,

In fact, many small businesses are posting on social media three or more times a day. That means they need pretty pictures, and a LOT of them, in order to keep their feeds looking sharp and their engagement high. This is an ideal situation for photographers!
By expanding the services you offer, you can easily increase your revenue and your brand recognition. In this article, we will talk about how you can begin offering this service, how to price it, and what you will need to get started. Hint: it's super easy and affordable.
Types of styled stock photography
For many of you, incorporating stock image options into your photography packages will be a no-brainer. However, deciding what kind to offer may be a different story. At this time, there are two very popular types of stock photos:
- Styled scenes like props and the flatlay.
- Lifestyle photos which tend to include people or models in the shot.
In order for you to identify which avenue to take, I recommend you focus on your strengths.
Why does this matter?
Remember my previous example of those beautiful hands holding that ice cream cone? I'm not the best at that type of shot, but I can style a desk with my eyes closed. When I started offering stock photos as part of my photography service, I only offered what I knew I would be excellent at creating.
Now that your wheels are turning, you may be wondering what you need to get started. Don't worry. The next steps are easy and affordable. Here are my suggestions for those of you anxious to begin right away. Let's break down the first type of stock photos I'm calling "styled scenes."
Styled scenes
In order to create a styled scene, you will need to designate a small space in your home or studio where you can work with props. Take a look at my set up below. It's not fancy at all. I have a white desk on casters (all from Ikea) and two $5 whiteboards from the local craft store. You could easily re-create this in any room, even if you only have enough space for the white boards. Find a spot with plenty of natural sunlight streaming in, and you are on your way!
Can you see how this is truly a simple addition to your photography services? If you have 5 ft of space next to a window, you are in business.
Lifestyle scenes
The second type of stock photos is known as lifestyle photos. If you enjoy working with people and prefer a variety of diverse backdrops over white boards and props, lifestyle photos may be your jam!
First, you will need to find a few locations in your area that will provide fun or unique backdrops. Search out the funky bright pink wall in town or locate the only café with exposed beams. Go out and get familiar with the artistic, unique places in your own city and take your clients to those locations.
Don't expect to take an Instagram-worthy picture of your client next to a tree at the local park. That type of shot doesn't really give them a distinct look and Instagram is all about telling a story in square format and the location is a huge part of that unspoken dialogue. Helpful hint: search popular hashtags on Instagram to see where local brands and influencers are taking pictures. Go there and add your own personal touch.
Determine your roll out method and pricing.
Start by answering these questions:
- Do you already have a strong client base that is active on Instagram?
- A network of small business owners?
- Bloggers, writers, moms who sell a product?
They are your IDEAL clients. Why? I can guarantee you that every conference they are attending right now, and every article crossing their Facebook feed is talking about the power of social media. They are primed and ready to do something about it. They want their business to grow, just like you do! They see the importance of posting on Instagram every day, but they are nervous and lacking a variety of quality images to share. They feel overwhelmed, and they need someone in their corner.
Guess what? That person is YOU! You get to be the hero.
A great way to branch out in this highly profitable market is to ask a question on your feed and be prepared to offer your services as the solution. Try it. Post this question to your Facebook and/or Instagram, "Do you need additional photos for your Instagram feed?" They will say YES or will at least ask about it.
Possible solutions
Extend a family photo session by 30 minutes (after pictures with the kiddos) and walk them through a variety of poses that work well on Instagram. Have them hold a cup of coffee, an ice cream cone, flowers in front of their face, or get a close up of their hands holding a journal. You get the idea. Make it ALL about them. Your goal is to give them 10-15 flattering, trendy images that they can post on social media over the next 4-6 weeks. Price this extra time accordingly. Since these images will be delivered digitally, you lose the ability to up-sell on prints.
Suggest they drop off the products they sell for you to photograph in your home studio. Style a desk scene with their e-book on an iPad. Borrow an oil diffuser and take a picture of various essential oils next to it. You can offer this as a custom product shoot, just for them. Pricing for this type of shoot usually begins at $25 per image with a minimum order of 10 photos.
Spend a couple of weeks styling and taking about 30 generic stock images that your clients can use on Instagram. Think flowers, coffee mugs, or a cozy blanket on the sofa. Make the entire collection an up-sell to their gallery. For instance, if they book a family session, add on a 10% fee and include your latest collection of stock photos with their gallery. Or offer your Instagram-savvy clients a set of free images as a thank you. Get them hooked on the generic ones, but make sure they know your services now include custom images. They will LOVE it!
As you can see, stock photography can truly be a natural extension of what you already offer.
So go grab that corner spot by the window in your dining nook. Scout out those trendy spots around town to shoot and start creating. There's a demand in the market for high quality images and you already have what it takes to deliver!

Tech Regulations 2011, article 3.15 wrote: Aerodynamic influence :
With the exception of the driver adjustable bodywork described in Article 3.18 (in addition to minimal parts solely associated with its actuation) and the ducts described in Article 11.4, any specific part of the car influencing its aerodynamic performance :
- must comply with the rules relating to bodywork ;
- must be rigidly secured to the entirely sprung part of the car (rigidly secured means not having any degree of freedom) ;
- must remain immobile in relation to the sprung part of the car.
Any device or construction that is designed to bridge the gap between the sprung part of the car and the ground is prohibited under all circumstances.
No part having an aerodynamic influence and no part of the bodywork, with the exception of the skid block in 3.13 above, may under any circumstances be located below the reference plane.

Are you referring to the strake on the nosecone? That is for making the nose cone/wing stay profile legal. If the stays are wider than the nosecone, they add a line of material there to widen the nosecone. Mercedes have a similar detail.mclaren113 wrote:this is the link for the pic:mclaren113 wrote:

Is it 100kg per side? I can't find any reference to the test in the regs. If so, this is another lapse of judgement on the part of the FIA.hollowBallistix wrote:surely the only problem with the FIA test with putting weight onto the end plate & measuring the flex is the fact they are not putting enough weight on ! 100kg surely is not enough ?

Director Dee Rees On Making Southern Culture Come To Life in 'Mudbound'
The film hits Netflix on Friday.
Katt Williams is back in police custody.
This time, it's over allegedly assaulting a woman at the Sportsman's Lodge in Sherman Oaks, California over the weekend.
TMZ reports that cops responded to a call from the venue that a woman had been attacked. It's not clear what provoked the alleged incident, but cops did notice visible minor injuries on the woman, who is requesting Katt be arrested for battery. Ultimately, he was charged with misdemeanor battery with bail set at $20,000, and is still in police custody.
Just another line on his rap sheet at this point.

It's green, it's delicious, and it's… your lawn?
Would you eat your lawn? No, I'm not really talking about grass, although you could eat that in a pinch. I'm talking about all of those healthful plants that you might want to remove from your lawn. But wait! Before you pull out that dandelion, read on.
You Can Eat Lawn Weeds
Many of those plants that we called weeds are weeds simply because of their superstar survival skills. Wouldn't you like to have a little bit of that superpower for yourself? Here are some of the lawn weeds that you can eat:
1. Plantain (Plantago major): This little leaf is a common sight in lawns. It's a medicinal plant that works very well as a poultice if you get stung, scraped, or itchy. It's best to eat raw plantain early in the season, before the leaves get thick and stringy, but you can also steam those older, larger leaves. Plantain's full of vitamin A, C, and calcium.
2. Red Clover (Trifolium pretense): Got clover? Well that's lucky! Clover is excellent livestock food, and it's an important food for your honeybee colonies as well. It's also food for people. You can eat clover leaves, and they're especially good when they've been steamed. If you'd like to eat them raw, harvest your snack before the plant flowers.
3. Sheep Sorrel (Rumex Acetosella)
Sorrel is a common name for many different plants, often very different. Sorrels are sometimes a little sweet and often very sour, and they're a lovely addition to a spring or summer salad. I like to collect sheep sorrel. It has leaves that are shaped like arrowheads, and it's full of all sorts of good stuff, including potassium, iron, manganese, phosphorous, beta-carotene, and vitamin C. Sorrel has been used as a folk treatment for cancer for many years.
4. Dandelions (Taraxacum officinale)
Ever had a salad at a fancy restaurant in the spring time? Chances are that it may have contained something you'd consider to be a weed. Dandelions are a springtime delicacy. Best eaten in the spring before they get bitter, the leaves are excellent in salads, and they're full of beta-carotene. The brilliant yellow flowers are also edible. Dandelions are amazing plants, and every part of the plant is edible and medicinal. Dandelions contain protein, potassium, iron, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and B vitamins, and they're one of the top five most nutritious green vegetables. And all this from something that you've been pulling out the lawn for years.

Controversial Nollywood actress Cossy Orjiakor is so much about her romantic life and relationship with top Nigerian soccer stars in Europe as well as her hidden love for Mikel Obi.
Which of the Nigerian players have you watched in action that tripped you? Okay here you come again. I won't mention his name but I can give you a clue by mentioning the name of his club if you insist.
So what is the name of the club? It's Chelsea.
Is it Mikel Obi? I think you should be talking about Mikel Obi.You might be absolutely correct. I will say yes if you think you guessed right.
What do you like about Mikel? He is a cool and handsome dude, you know. During the Nations Cup which Nigeria won he emerged as one of the sexiest footballers in South Africa.
So you are tripping for him? I have said enough so it is left for you to sort it out.
Have you ever met Mikel one on one before?
I have not, but I am looking forward to meeting him on a good day.
