It's hard to not look at Facebook and Twitter without seeing some pretty amazing images of Hurricane Sandy. In the instant pace of posting pictures, many are foregoing a fact-check. Mashable breaks down fake Hurricane Sandy photos flying around social media that actually weren't taken during the storm. One was even a wallpaper used from the film The Day After Tomorrow!
From Mashable: The moving photo purporting to show soldiers standing guard at the Arlington National Cemetery monument during Hurricane Sandy quickly spread on the social web. But the Old Guard pointed out that the photo was actually a shot taken in September.
On Facebook, the group shared a real image taken during the early hours of the storm.
My favorite fake: The infamous shark swimming in the streets of New Jersey. This photo was also used in 2011 during Hurricane Irene and quickly debunked. C'mon people if hurricanes weren't scary enough? Sharks! It was actually taken in 2005 during a storm in Puerto Rico. But I do believe this explains Gov. Chris Christie's " don't be stupid!" press conference, followed with "the adults are taking care of business, so don't get scared of the sharks!" (Not really but it seems he might make a better weatherman than President.)

Day 14 Actual Route
Holy Island
The Barretts – day 18
I have missed writing up the daily events over these last few days, we are still on hols so it seems right that we still tell you what we are up too.
We had a stopover at Culloden so we visited the battlefield yesterday. It was a great visit although they had a power cut so we couldn't go into the museum. We wandered around the actual battlefield though, Alex and Jim re-enacted some of the battles for me!
Today we are heading to Berwick, the campsite is a stones throw from Holy Island which will be tomorrows visit then we are heading home Friday. We have decided it is Siam Star for dinner on Friday evening, I am already salivating at the thought of Tempura Chicken.
ShareWe made it! :-)
WAGs and Kids – Day 15
I know, I know, sorry it's late but I thought it best not to write up day 15 after champagne, beer and wine!
It was strange today waking up knowing in a few hours it would all be over. It was also strange the gang not all being together, the site had no toilet facilities so Mike and Sophie had stayed in a B and B as Mikes van doesn't have a loo or shower. Gerry and Jim were really excited about today's ride, they even set of a little earlier than normal. I got packed up early because Alex and I wanted to win the race to John o' Groats. Lyn was almost done and she left about half hour or so after us.
As I was driving along the lane to the 'main' road we saw Mike bimbling along. We then got onto the main road and carried on with our journey. Again we saw some fabulous views, we stopped a couple times to take photos. The journey was a slow one as it is single track road with passing places. The lads had taken the back road which apparently wasn't good for motorhomes although Lyn went that way and said it was perfectly fine! As we went passed the junction of the back road with the main road we spotted Mike. We stopped to make sure he didn't need anything and carried on our way. Around lunchtime we caught up with Jim and Gerry, we stopped and fed and watered them.
Once we were passed Jim and Gerry we knew we were in the lead! We raced ahead arriving at John o' Groats around 2ish. I went to check in at the campsite and was greeted by Mike's Mum, it was strange seeing your old DS teacher (Betty Lowe – Longcroft School) somewhere where you least expected to! They have a house in Scotland so they had come up to surprise him. What a lovely thing to do.
Alex and I had lunch at the Last Cafe, Lyn, Sophie and Jack arrived shortly afterwards. Jim called to say that him and Gerry were about 12 miles away so Lyn, Alex and I got the Champagne from the fridge and headed up to famous sign at the end point. It started to drizzle whilst we were waiting and then out of nowhere it was like a monsoon had hit! The photographer from the End Point Sign opened the boot of his car so that we could stand underneath which was much appreciated. At this point Alex decided he needed the toilet, he and Lyn were just heading across the road when I spotted the lads coming in. I shouted them back and we all walked forward to cheer them in. It was still pouring with rain but somehow that didn't matter, 1000 miles trip was now officially over for them.
We cracked open the champagne and drunk to of ours achievement. Alex was particularly pleased that he was allowed an inch of champers too! We had some official photos done and waited for Mike to return. Jim spotted Mike in the distance so everyone ran up to the signpost to see him in, that is everyone but me as Alex had decided that he really needed to go to the loo as he had forgotten about it earlier, chuh, kids!!
After everyone was showered and clean and a number of bottles of beer consumed we all headed up to the pub for tea. The kids kept the locals entertained with their pool game, nearly taking some guys eye out with the pool stick! Most of us had chicken stuffed with Haggis but ever predictable Alex had turkey dinosaurs! After dinner we bimbled back to the campsite, kids went to bed and we all relaxed witha nice glass of well deserved vino.
Day 16 – we got some photos taken with the two charties cycle shirts on and then we were all on our merry way. The others were all heading home with an overnight stop on the way. We are making our way home over the week with 2 nights in Culloden and 2 nights in Berwick.
It has been a fabulous two weeks, I have thoroughly enjoyed myself. I am absolutely shattered and am looking forward to a few peaceful days with Jim doing all the driving!
Thank you all for reading the blog, your comments have been great to read and have really helped in keeping us going.
ShareStart of day 15 from the campsite
Day 14
Woke up this morning to sunshine, yippee!
Last night we looked at today's route and decided not to go
via Inverness. As the site we were staying on had wireless we re-planned the
route and dropped the gpx files onto our Garmins, the extra only added another
4 miles to the journey.
We had two climbs to get over today. The first leading to
Bonar Bridge allowed us to stop and take some pictures of the stunning views
before heading off at warp speed
this off course left us with the second climb up towards Altnaharra. It was a
steady climb and was broken up with dinner in Lairg at a garage (quality
sandwiches NOT!) Louise and Alex had just passed us in the van and offered
dinner, should have accepted the offer .
We left Lairg climbing again and were passed by Lyn. The road had narrowed at
this point to single track with passing points. I bet it would be quite bleak
up here in the winter as there is not a lot around.
We climbed up to 300m above sea level and then started the 6
mile descent to Altnaharra, this was great and a good rest from climbing. The
route I had planned took us to Altnaharra only so Gerry dug out the
instructions; turned out the campsite was 3 miles further, just what we needed
after 76 miles riding.
The campsite was located right by the side of a loch and had
brilliant views, it was a bit breezy but the plus side of this was the midges
were not out, this changed later as the wind dropped and we all retreated to
our vans (I got 5 bites just putting the chairs away!)
Only 70 miles to do tomorrow and the epic journey is all over,
legs and bottom will be pleased of a rest!
ShareWAGs and Kids – Day 14
It seemed weird waking up this morning knowing that tomorrow we would be done. The last 2 weeks have gone so quickly but on the other hand we seem to have been away from home for so long. Alex and I headed into Inverness to pick up some champagne ready for tomorrows celebration and we then headed out to the penultimate site.
Of all the scenery we have taken in over the last fortnight, today's journey was by far the most breathtaking. After about 25 miles we saw Mike bimbling along so we stopped to take photos and top up his water. Going on further we saw Jim and Gerry, we stopped for more photos, they had decided to have lunch in Lairg so we left them to plod on whilst we headed to the most lonely road in Scotland, the A836.
Lairg to the site was about 20 miles, for the first 15 miles we did not meet another vehicle, the views were spectacular and the feeling of remoteness was incredible. For me it has been the best journey of the trip. I love the remoteness of the area. The campsite is amazing, we are on the banks of Loch Naver, if you sleepwalk you will get quite wet!
The midges are horrendous, suffice to say, our evening meal was eaten inside!
Early night tonight I reckon, all set for the last day tomorrow.
ShareWAGs and Kids – Day 13
Sad to leave this site as it was so beautiful but needs must and all that! Arranged to meet up with Sophie and Jack at the Loch Ness exhibition as I needed to get some shopping bits. Popped into Fort William, trugged two heavy bags back to van and set off on our way. We drove around the town and found a great big Morrisons, bloomin' typical.
Anyway we went on our merry way to find Nessie. We drove through some incredible scenery. We got to the beginning of the loch but the sat nag said we had a further 18 miles to go to get to the visitors centre, this is one big loch!!
We met up with Sophie and Jack and after some lunch we bimbled round the exhibition. It was really interesting but a tad expensive! The kids really enjoyed themselves and spent up in the Nessie shop! We bought some postcards and sent them off anonymously! (Did you get one dear reader?).
The next site was on the banks of the Moray at Inverness (I think!). It is a lovely location for a site although the site was looking a little tired. The wardens/owners were lovely people, even sponsoring us!

Well, I finished it too, and am a good ways through my Warrior run, but after having just installed the latest beta driver, you never know what could happen. Crossing my fingers for now, mentally anyway. It would be pretty hard to play with them actually crossed.
Starting to get into the AMR more now. It's loud, but as long as you pick a good spot and drop a fair number of enemies, it keeps them rather suppressed. Cool to knock them on their butts too. It literally sends them flying. LOL I've got all Signature weaps now, Shredder, Bushmaster, Bull and AMR. Been experimenting with Enhanced vs Standard Alpha to Coverage. Not enough of a difference for the slight performance hit IMO. I encountered one strange graphics quirk last night that I'm wondering might be related to the 13.2 beta driver. I was crouched behind tree foliage scoping a Wanted Dead pirate camp with the sniper rifle, and their whole camp would appear as a bright white-ish reflection similar to the sunlight off the water in the distance, but only when looking through the scope. I moved a bit and tried looking through a bush and then it looked normal. I've always noticed the trees in this game have odd flickering regarding light and shadow effects, it's very annoying. It's as if there's some static mesh shaders used for light and shadows in the trees that pulsates on and off as you move.
Question, is there a quest at what appears to be a bunker at Turtle Hill? This is the far mid east tip of the south island. There's a short steel door on a partially below surface concrete building near the beach right where the black cave looking feature is on the map. This looks similar to one of the ones Buck takes you too, but I don't think it's one of those. The door has no interactive icon and it won't open, but there's a Rakyat villager in a nearby building saying "Hey, come here", like he has a quest, but I can't interact with him. Maybe part of a future DLC mission?
I been playing about three days now, im on a E5200 775 BioStar TP45HP Corsair 1100 PI XFX4890 Windows XP sp3 for the most part it plays well, i have a glitch where if I move with the camera in hand it will dissappear in my hand. Also the gun will do the same, for the most part I love it. The tiger got me.I was playing with sound off. I cant get enough of it, im about half way through the missions. The map is huge, Im having a hard time collecting stuff n building it.As I keep running out of room to carry stuff if anybody can give some pointers on that......
I've been playing with the 30 Days mod this run through, which is a realism compilation mod. The version I have comes with HD terrain and sky textures and has been upgraded to add a full moon. Quite a good mod really. There are mods that extend the wallet capacity, but I don't know about the ruksack. If you don't want to use a mod, just make sure you hunt the animals required in the Crafting menu for Loot Ruksack and Wallet. You can basically go to the 3rd level of each with common animal hides, but the 4th is always a rare one found via one of the Path of the Hunter quests. PotH quests are unlocked by liberating outposts and picked up by going to the bulletin board in the outpost. It's best to climb the GPS towers at the very least after you liberate the nearby outposts, so you can see the animal locations on the map. The animals on the map are just a rough guide though, they roam so they're not always in the exact spots shown on the map. Wallet and Loot Ruksack crafting requirements are as follows: Wallet Simple - 1 Pig Rugged - 2 Cassowary (looks sorta like an Emu) Heavy Duty - 2 Shark Extended - the One Horn Buffalo Loot Ruksack Simple - 2 Boar Rugged - 2 Tapir Heavy Duty - 4 Dingo (looks like fox on map, but up close like a dog) Extended - the Undying Bear I never use syringes for anything but health for realism, but if you find hunting challenging, you can craft a Hunter's Instinct syringe with one amber leaf plant, which helps to see the animals and can even keep the timid ones from fleeing. There are also syringes you can craft to resist harm from predators.
Skin a pig or 2 and then bring up your menu Select crafting and over on the top right select equipment, you'll see weapon holster, wallet ect. You can then craft a larger whatever to carry more.

Cool cool, I got the hang of that(mostly) I just need to advance as my stuff is all full. I havd an error where my mouse will stop working, its very random and doesnt happen all the time. I also get crashes to the desk top, but I assume its my 4890 as if i turn anything in visuals up it gets choppy and unplayable. Thank you for the advice! I just stolen the uniform and am meeting that dude Hoyt
For those whom don't know, High Tides is exclusive to PS3. The PC version is called the Deluxe Bundle DLC and costs $10. This is what it includes: - Six single player missions from Monkey Business and the Lost Expeditions packs - Four new animals to hunt: the Mountain Lion, Thylacine (Tasmanian Tiger), White Tiger and Red Vulture - Two new single player weapons: Tribal Knife and M700 Predator Rifle - Two multiplayer weapon unlocks: Type-10 Flare Shotgun and Predator Bow - One new character: Hurk and his monkeys - Two new end of match movies for multiplayer starring Hurk and his monkeys
Started playing co-op, really really enjoyable. Just stick to Hard difficulty, Insane is full of newbies and there is absolutely zero teamwork on Normal most of the time. Had a couple of great missions on Hard with a group of strangers. Everybody stuck together and moved as a group, slow advance through the tough parts and plenty of covering fire if anyone moved to grab ammo. Snipers, movotovs and RPG's were always tagged. Damn I miss that group.
Damn, had some serious annoyances last night. I was about halfway through the game on Warrior using the 30 Days mod, then the boss fights with the giant and Vass left me with no weapon to use. I had to uninstall the mod to get past the giant, but somehow I managed to get past Vass with no weapon. Then on Fly South I decided to exit out of the game and put Uplay in online mod with the overlay turned back on. I was having trouble with the fly to the so island in the wingsuit achievement unlocking, so I thought that might help. Then when I went back into the game, the only saves available were from several days ago! Screw it, going to get Dead Space 3 and play it a while.
Well I just finished it lastnight, Kinda dsappointed as I kept thinking Ill add to my ruksack size and add a bunch of stuff I dont have. But then that was it, the final scene with his younger brother flying the chopper and him on the gun............... Ive started again on medium setting, im gonna do more roaming on my own. Over all I loved it, I got games Ive never even played yet when I get board I pull them out.
Part of what kills replay value for me is they actually made the disable tagging option, which I was saving for a 2nd Warrior run, only applicable to the tags that appear when you aim at someone. Thus the only way you can really go without tagging is not use the camera at all, or use mods, and I've yet to see a mod that doesn't have problems. I hope they make a patch that allows you disable tagging and maybe other things, COMPLETELY. By other things I mean, even if they DID allow complete disabling of tagging via camera, the mini map still automatically shows when enemies are near you. They're just some bogus features that have no business being always on in a game such as Far Cry, which has always had fairly tactical, non auto-cover gameplay. This is what I meant when commenting on the first gameplay footage vids Ubi posted, saying I worry they're turning Far Cry into an arcade shooter. Even if you feel the tagging is needed, there are times when the enemy is unaffected by your shot because it's hard to tell when they are half covered by a structure whether the part of their body you're shooting at is exposed or not. I swear there's been times when part of their body is definitely not behind cover, yet it shows as grey, and when I take the shot at that part of their body, the bullet doesn't hit them. The tagging system is very flawed.
I personally love far cry 3.I really do.I only have one issue where i go to a shop and im selling stuff and the damn game crashes!!I thought of searching through this thread looking for someone with the same issue but seeing as though we are up to 17 pages... =\ meh..lol. Its quite a frustrating problem. The game is at 1.04 so it should be fine!?Does anyone have the same issue?
I've never had that problem nor seen anyone complain of it. What driver are you using and do you do clean installs via removing all the old driver bits?
Yea I tried reinstalling the game..didnt fix the problem, then i tried a fresh windows install, still didnt fix it.Not sure..i sort of just put up with it now..lol =\
Well, like I implied, it matters a lot what driver you use and how you install them, esp with AMD. Far Cry 3 is a game that has seen lots of driver updates. Without divulging that info it's kinda hard to help you.
what do you mean what driver are you using?for what?my graphics card, my mb, my mouse, what?!lol. the game is patched to v1.04. my drivers for my graphics card (ati hd 6870) are the latest drivers. Can you please explain what you mean?
you say 'latest' graphics drivers. please give the actual version number, because theres very high odds you have old ones.

There could be some good news for those who wish to use Wertsville Road between Amwell Road and Long Hill Road.
The stretch, which has been closed since July 10 due to bridge work, may be opening earlier than originally forecast. A construction projects update released on the Somerset County website said an early completion of the project is anticipated at the beginning of October.
The duration of the closure was set to last 124 days, according to the announcement. A detour has been in effect, as work is being done to replace three bridges, with one being closed at a time.

Funding Opportunities
Pilot Award Program
The goal of this program is to stimulate new research on HIV/AIDS, including the formation of new, multidisciplinary HIV/AIDS research teams that leverage unique institutional strengths through direct funding for innovative and developmental research. From 2008-current the CFAR has distributed 27 awards to researchers across various dimentions of HIV/AIDS research in excess of $600,000 which have yielded a 10:1 return on investment in terms of new grant. To learn more about funding opportunities, please contact Jennifer Lynch.
Micro Grants Program
The Micro Grants Program is intended to facilitate HIV/AIDS research by providing modest, but essential, resources that will advance research objectives - but that are not readily available from other sources. Funds may be used to support existing NIH-funded research activity, or the generation of preliminary data for planned HIV/AIDS-related NIH grant applications.
Supplemental Award Program
The CFAR Program at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) invites applications from currently funded CFARs to apply for administrative supplements. The purpose of administrative supplements is two-fold:
- To support a broad range of highly innovative research projects and pilot studies to address key gaps in our understanding of HIV/AIDS.
- To support new investigators who have not yet received an NIH award in AIDS research as well as established investigators in non-HIV fields who have never received an NIH research award for HIV/AIDS studies. This funding will provide support for development of preliminary data to support an NIH research project grant application.
Voucher Program
To enhance the use and utility of cutting-edge instrumentation, CFAR offers funding vouchers for direct application to instrumentation that best suits research needs. Vouchers are competitively awarded and can provide up to $4,000 in user fees.

Overall, unemployment rates fell in 107 Kentucky counties between May 2011 and May 2012, while 12 county rates increased and one stayed the same. Union County had one of the lowest jobless rates in the Commonwealth in May.

First Eleven Hour Night
We're having homemade chicken soup for dinner tonight and the leftover meatloaf from yesterday for lunch tonight. Both came out really good.
Thanks for letting me gripe to you. Remember, you are loved.

Hey Bobbie,
When we asked the "regulars" at Amazon how they survive being on their feet so much, they said the trick was to alternate between a couple pairs of shoes. One night wear pair #1 then next night wear something different, then back to 1. Really made a difference for us !! The other thing...I swear by those Dr. Scholls adjustable arch inserts that I found at the Walmart in Independence. For the $10 they cost, they were a lifesaver !! Only wished I'd found this magic formula about 6 weeks earlier than I did...LOL...hang in there !!I admire your tenacity to persue your goals and find ways to pay for them even though the bodies might be in a form of contradiction.
I also admire Amazon for offering good paying jobs to folks like us, who are in some sort of retirement phase.
There sure aren't any firms like that in our neighborhood who hire us retired folks who can really make a contribution in a short period of time.

2009 Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe - 101EX to be Produced
5090 | |||
Related PicturesROLLS-ROYCE ANNOUNCES NEW COUP� Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has confirmed that a series version of the two-door, four-seat experimental car, 101EX, will be launched in 2008. Production is scheduled to begin next summer. It will be hand-built at the company's manufacturing plant in Goodwood, England. This model will complete the Phantom family line-up alongside the Phantom, Phantom Extended Wheelbase and Phantom Drophead Coup�. The new car will be an elegant two-door, four-seat coupe that builds on the extraordinary driving experience offered in the Phantom and Drophead Coup�. It will use an all aluminium construction similar to the rest of the Phantom family. However, it will be a unique car in the Phantom family, designed around the desire to create the world's foremost transcontinental tourer. Outright power will be identical to the other Phantom models – an impressive 453bhp and 720Nm of torque – however the coup� will be subtly tuned with more emphasis placed on the driver. The body will be shorter than that of the Phantom sedan and there will be revisions to the suspension and chassis set-up. Rolls-Royce Chief Designer, Ian Cameron, said, "With this car we wanted to emphasise the performance potential of the 6.75 litre V12 engine and the effortless experience that it delivers. Whilst never overtly sporty, Rolls-Royce is a brand that has always offered owners a powerful and refined drive combined with, as Sir Henry Royce described it, a bit of fizz." Ian Robertson, Chairman and Chief Executive, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, said, "This new model represents an important milestone in the company's history. It completes the Phantom family and judging by the customer reaction to 101EX, we are confident of its success. Our challenge lies in meeting the exceptional levels of customer demand for the Phantom range and in preparing Goodwood to meet the needs of future new cars." The new coup� will be priced between the Phantom and Phantom Drophead Coup�. Further information will be released in the coming months.

I guess that is the only way they have to tell each other's gender.
"Talent and all that for the most part is nothing but hogwash. Any schoolboy with a little aptitude might very well draw better than I perhaps; but what he most often lacks is the tough yearning for realization, the teeth-grinding obstinacy and saying: even though I know I'm not capable of it, I'm still going to do it." -- M.C. Escher, in a letter to his son Arthur, 12 February 1955

The time for waiting in Iraq is over. The days of our open-ended commitment
must come to a close. And the need to bring this war to an end is here...
That is why today, I'm introducing the Iraq War De-escalation Act of 2007.
This plan would not only place a cap on the number of troops in Iraq and stop
the escalation, it would begin a phased redeployment of U.S. forces with the
goal of removing of all U.S. combat forces from Iraq by March 31st, 2008 –
consistent with the recommendations of the bipartisan Iraq Study Group that the
President ignored.
The redeployment of troops to the United States , Afghanistan ,
and elsewhere in the region would begin no later than May 1st of this
year, toward the end of the timeframe I first proposed in a speech more
than two months ago. In a civil war where no military solution exists, this
redeployment remains our best leverage to pressure the Iraqi government to
achieve the political settlement between its warring factions that can slow the
bloodshed and promote stability.

Barack Obama says get out of Iraq
2 comments:
Instead of ousting Hussein, we should have been thankful to have him in Iraq. There was no one happier when we toppled Sadam's government than Iran. And all of the neo con fiction writers can spout all their gibberish about freedom and democracy until Jesus returns, but facts are facts. You cannot have a Democratic government in which the opposing factions do NOT agree to disagree. If an American goes to a foreign country and is asked his orientation he does not reply Catholic, Jewish, Protestant, etc., he says "I'm an American". Most Iraqis do not describe themselves as Iraqis--they identify with their religion/tribe--Sunni, Shiia, Kurd. The only ones left who support this fiasco are the true believers--those who live in a monolithic world--those who will support anything that King George says or does. I still say that if the good King had a fling with an intern all the neo cons who blasted Clinton would find a way to defend him. But, they do provide His Holiness with much entertainment when I view them squirming to explain the unexplainable. God BLess them all.
This bill shows how (potentially) transformative Obama could be in the next year or so. He is very well positioned (and getting stronger) in the democratic primary field.
If Edwards does not blow-out fundraising this quarter the race will become Clinton v Obama in short order. With all the various primaries moving up, top tier candidates will have to have significantly more primary cash by the fall than ever before. - 10:10 PM

Jersey Pocket Stuff: Week Three
The winner of the Jersey Pocket Stuff Week Three goes to Andy Shaw who put together this great photo of his Croix de Fer jersey. I am sure that the 4 salami sandwiches helped him get through his 75 mile ride in Scotland. There is one week left for the competition as August quickly comes to a close. The winner of the last week of the Jersey Pocket Stuff will receive a WHITE Rapha Essentials Case. (Did you know that these little beauties exist?) Thanks to everyone who has participated so far, it has been a great experiment in what people carry with them when they ride. Click through to see what Rapha Continental rider Tony Periera carried with him on his Birthday Mountain Bike ride and Timbuk2 Art Director, Bin Chen takes with him when he rides through the streets of San Francisco.
The contrast here is wonderful. Seeing Portland framebuilder Tony Pereira of Pereira Cycles descend on a road bike is a thing of beauty. His skills on the mountain bike trails of the Pacific Northwest (honed by years in Salt Lake City) are the stuff of legend. See here what he takes with him on his birthday.

Top of the Agenda: IAEA Says It is Close to Deal With Iran
The director general of the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency, Yukiya Amano, said today that he expects to sign a deal "quite soon" with Iran, allowing for an IAEA investigation in the potential military uses of the country's contested nuclear program (NYT). Amano's comments came after a one-day trip to Tehran to meet with senior officials, including Iranian nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili. Representatives of China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States are set to meet Jalili in Baghdad tomorrow for a new round of negotiations over Iran's uranium enrichment efforts. The West contends that Iran's nuclear program is for the manufacturing of nuclear weapons, a claim Tehran strongly denies.
"The biggest issue on the table is the IAEA's ability to make intrusive, unannounced inspections of the Iranian nuclear program, including visits to military facilities like Parchin, where the Iranians may have been testing the blasting devices that can initiate a nuclear explosion. The U.N. has also demanded that Iran suspend its enrichment program," writes TIME's Joe Klein.
"But that is not the right goal. Given Iran's poor track record of honoring agreements, negotiations remain a gamble because they may never lead to an agreement, let alone one that can be sustained. Rather than focus on talks that may not produce a deal, then, the United States should place far more emphasis on supporting democracy and human rights in Iran," writes Patrick Clawson for Foreign Affairs.
Malaysian Opposition Leader Charged Over Protest
Malaysian prosecutors yesterday charged opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim and two of his allies with violating a ban against public gatherings (AP) during an April 28 demonstration in Kuala Lumpur, at which thousands of protesters called for an overhaul of the electoral system. Ibrahim, who was acquitted of sodomizing a male aid earlier this year, called the charges "politically motivated."
CHINA: The People's Bank of China--the United States' largest foreign creditor--is able to purchase U.S. debt directly from the U.S. Treasury through an unobstructed computer link to its auction system, rather than having to use a primary dealer such as a Wall Street bank, according to a report by Reuters.
NATO Agrees to Afghan Security Transition
The United States and its NATO allies agreed at a summit in Chicago yesterday to end their lead role in the war in Afghanistan by the summer of 2013, handing full control to Afghan national security forces (NYT). At the same time, U.S. military officials have indicated that U.S. troops will continue to have a combat role in Afghanistan after that point.
SRI LANKA: President Mahinda Rajapaksa pardoned former army chief Sarath Fonseka (al-Jazeera)--a soldier considered instrumental in ending the country's twenty-five-year civil war in 2009--releasing him yesterday from prison two years after he was jailed on corruption charges.
UN Condemns Yemen Suicide Attack
The UN Security Council condemned "in the strongest terms" a suicide bombing in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa yesterday that killed more than ninety soldiers. Al-Qaeda took responsibility (BBC) for the attack.
A resurgent al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula is reportedly exploiting the mounting political unrest in Yemen, according to this CFR Backgrounder.
Protesters Storm Presidential Palace in Mali
Hundreds of protesters broke into Mali's presidential palace in the capital of Bamako yesterday and beat up interim leader Dioncounda Traore (Reuters). The Economic Community of West African States--the group that tasked Traore with leading the country back to civilian rule following a military coup in March--condemned the attack and threatened sanctions.
SUDAN: A car exploded in the city of Port Sudan (AFP), killing at least one person, according to Sudan's Radio Omdurman. The incident comes a year after Sudan accused Israel of launching a deadly air strike in the same region.
OECD Cuts Eurozone Growth Forecast
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development predicted today that eurozone gross domestic product would contract by 0.1 percent this year, calling the sovereign debt crisis the "the biggest risk for the world economy" (WSJ).
GREECE: British Prime Minister David Cameron defended comments he made yesterday that suggested Greece should leave the eurozone (Guardian) if the country elects anti-austerity parties--those opposed to the terms of the EU-IMF bailout plan--in parliamentary elections slated for next month.
Greece's political turmoil is spreading fresh economic uncertainty. But it is wrong to assume an automatic exit from the euro or further sovereign debt contagion, says expert Iain Begg in this CFR Interview.
Space X Rocket in Successful Launch
A rocket designed and built by U.S. company Space X (VOA) was successfully launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, early this morning on a mission to deliver a supply capsule to the International Space Station. Space X would be the first privately owned company to complete such a mission.
COLOMBIA: Rebels from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Columbia (AP), who were sheltering in Venezuelan territory, attacked a Colombian army patrol yesterday, killing at least twelve soldiers and wounding four others.
The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and the National Liberation Army (ELN) are Colombia's two predominant rebel groups. While both have been depleted in recent years, they remain destabilizing forces, explains this CFR Backgrounder.

Las Vegas Summer League Day 9: Studs, Duds
On a day when there was no Damian Lillard, no Meyers Leonard, and no Norris Cole, Austin Rivers, or Eric Bledsoe, you'd expect the competition at the Las Vegas Summer League to get a little dreary. That really wasn't the case on Saturday, though, as a ton of the remaining big names had pretty solid outings in those guys' places.
At the same time, the "duds" for today were few and far between, at least in terms of the guys with any sort of expectations. A few are listed below because, let's face it, there always some duds, but the studs definitely outweighed them today. In general, basketball looked about as good as it has all week, probably due to the fact that teams are building some chemistry just in time to be done with it all.
In any event, here are the studs and duds from Day 9 of the Las Vegas Summer League:
Will Barton, Portland Trail Blazers – With both Damian Lillard and Meyers Leonard taking the last game of the week off, Barton was thrust into a situation in which he was given the opportunity to shine, and shine he did. He played all 40 minutes of the game and scored 27 points on 10-for-17 shooting from the field, including 4-for-8 from three. Barton has been strong all week (the Portland Summer League team in general has been the most entertaining to watch by a mile), and this last performance vaults him into the spotlight as an early favorite to be the second-round steal of the 2012 draft.
Xavier Henry, New Orleans Hornets – Lottery pick Austin Rivers sat out his second straight game, paving the way for Henry to light it up for 21 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists against the Warriors. Henry is one of the more experienced and talented players here, so his performance isn't all that surprising, particularly with Rivers out.
Jae Crowder, Dallas Mavericks – Other than the fact that Crowder looks almost exactly like Denver Nuggets forward Kenneth Fareid, Crowder's claim to fame here in Vegas has been standing out in a crowd of mediocre players. He's physically more developed than many of these guys, and that's probably why it was so easy to drop 21 points and 6 rebounds in an overtime win over the Spurs. He would've gotten even more love had he sunk a missed shot at the end of regulation to win the game. Still, he looked like one of the more seasoned rookies here all week.
Cory Joseph, San Antonio Spurs – Joseph rebounded from a hard day yesterday by putting up 18 points, 5 assists, 7 rebounds, and 2 steals in the overtime loss to Dallas. Not many Spurs have really stood out this week (other than Kawhi Leonard), but Joseph has probably shown more flashes than anybody else on that roster. He's got some talent, but hasn't been consistent with it.
Malcolm Thomas, Chicago Bulls – Thomas has had a double-double in each of his first four Summer League games, though tonight was probably his best overall showing yet. He finished the game with 21 points and16 rebounds, and is actually leading the entire Summer League in rebounds per game. He seems like a sure thing to get a camp invite from the Bulls, and guaranteed NBA money might be someone where in his near future, too.
Wes Johnson, Minnesota Timberwolves – While Johnson had a hard time knocking down shots during the season, Summer League defenses are quite a bit less frustrating, which is probably why he scored 28 points against the D-League Select team on Saturday night. Yes, it's the D-League, but that's still the highest point total for the day.
Markieff Morris, Phoenix Suns – Despite his 4 turnovers, Morris looked great in a win over Memphis to wrap up Phoenix's Summer League schedule. On 10-for-17 shooting from the floor, Morris scored 25 points, but he also hauled in a game-high 11 rebounds. Both of those outputs were Morris's best of the week.
Josh Selby, Memphis Grizzlies – Selby has been one of the top players here all week, and he had a stupendous game once again, posting 23 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists in the loss to the Suns. There's not a whole lot new to say about Selby, because we've been saying the same things every time he steps on the Thomas & Mack floor.
Austin Freeman, New Orleans Hornets – Freeman, the preseason Big East Conference Player of the Year for Georgetown in 2010, did not look like any player of any year on Saturday, posting only 6 points on 2-for-10 shooting in 31 minutes. Freeman played in Italy last year, and with output like that it's going to be difficult to break onto an NBA roster.
James Anderson, San Antonio Spurs – You'd expect one of the few actual NBA players on the Spurs' Summer League roster to put up a more dominant effort than 13 points on 3-for-11 shooting, but Anderson definitely struggled on Saturday. His 5 turnovers in the overtime loss to the Mavs didn't help his cause much, either.
Demetri McCamey, Chicago Bulls – The former University of Illinois standout spent way too much time dribbling the ball outside of the three-point line, and that slowing down of the offense didn't do any good for him or his team. In about 13 minutes of play, the shooting guard didn't score any points and missed both of his shots. Both of those shots, by the way, were threes.
Sunday is the final day of Summer League, so stay plugged in and enjoy what little summer hoops remain before we enter the lull before preseason. There's lot of talent here, and many of these kids will end up on NBA rosters next season. Check the "studs" from the last several days if you're curious as to who those guys are.

THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT Im sad to say I'm in an area now that has some of the best tasting beef and they don't know how to BBQ/Smoke meat!! I went to the local butcher yes its great you can see the cows go in the back of this place that will become your beef it's that fresh. So I asked about brisket and was told they cut ALL of it up for stew meat!!! I was shocked being that I lived in Texas for a few years to hear what they did to the brisket. Told the owner of the shop to smoke a brisket and make a mop sauce for it and a nice dry rub. After that he now sells brisket not whole but it's a start on getting these people to eat brisket! I'm wanting to smoke again so bad! I have also looked at the Ceramic Grill's that are out there and other smokers an I'm wanting to know what would be best? I'm kind of also looking to do smoking in cold weather if that helps any. Thanks! |

Thanks! Do you already have a grill? The Kamado style cookers make excellent smokers, and they give you a lot of versatility since you can grill, bake, etc on the same cooker. You should be able to find several different models in the $800 price range. If you want a dedicated smoker, there's a lot of options for much less money. I've never used a WSM, but that seems to be the most popular. |

I have a CharGriller and love it. I bought it for about $200, I'm not sure but Iwould guess I can do 10 racks of ribs at one time, I've had it 3 years now and the fire box is just now starting to show some rust. I smoke on it 12 months a year so cold has never been an issue and I live in Wisconsin. I would buy another in a heart beat. For the money you can't go wrong.
Posted: 5/28/2012 8:53:23 PM
Another vote for the Weber Smokey Mountain.
For $800 you could get a 22.5" and a Ique 110 and be good to go for the long over night cooks and probably have 150 dollars left to head over for the next charcoal sale at Wally World or Home Depot.. FYI I have 4-18" and 1-22.5" WSM and just bought another 18.5" today via Craigslist for $25.00. |

I have a Char-Griller Akorn (Kamado style) that I got at Lowe's for $300. It's basically a (Large) Big Green Egg for less than half the price. I'm grilling, baking and smoking on it, though.
If I wanted a dedicated smoker, I'd build my own Ugly Drum as mentioned above. |

http://www.smokintex.com/ Get the model 1400 for $600. They have had special packages with accessories during the holidays in the past. Smoke: Texas Smoked Beef Brisket Carolina Pulled Pork St. Louis Smoked Ribs West Coast Barbecue Tri-Tip Smoked Turkey & Chicken Alaskan Smoked Salmon Cold Smoked Salmon Smoked Catfish Smoked Shrimp Smoked Baked Potatoes Smoked Tomatoes and Mushrooms and smoked Cheese, of course. Unattended smoking and slow cooking. One of the best investments I ever made. Smoke up to 38 pounds, I think, in this model. Use only 8 oz of wood per smoke. Throw in a brickette or two for that smoke ring. I am partial to fruit woods. Particularly grape and peach from http://www.fruitawoodchunks.com/fruita-wood-chunks––-peach1.html This guy has some great wood. |

I picked up a 30" Masterbuilt Electric Smoker at Lowes for around $200. Perfect size for me and my GF or sometimes the guys at work if I'm feeling especially charitable.
Lowes no longer carries the specific smoker but Home Depot has it for $177. http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-100660191/h_d2/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10053&langId=-1&keyword=Masterbuilt+Electric+Smoker&storeId=10051 Love that I don't have to worry about temperature fluctuations.

Check out a pellet grill before you buy anything. They are not for everyone but are becoming very popular. I have 2 and have been smoking on one for several years now. I will not give a sales pitch but will say I will never use anything else. Fire it up, fill the hopper, put the meat on and it is beer time. Several available at or below the $800.00 price point. The food they produce is awesome. Just my 2 cents.
Posted: 8/17/2012 8:25:02 PM
I use a Large "Green Egg", with natural lump charcoal.
Some of the best Meat you will ever taste if done right. You can also use wood with the charcoal for a smoked flavor, like barbecue. Brisket, or pork butt, or shoulder, |

I got a Traeger couple months ago. I really like it. Wood fired oven & smoker.
Posted: 8/24/2012 8:42:38 PM
I know it's sacrelig to many, but the Cookshack electric smoker is the best, easiest method of cooking I have ever tried! My back yard consists of a Hastybake, Webber, Jen-aire (gas) and the Cookshack, so you can tell I spend a bit of time cooking! When it comes to pork butt's, ribs, turkey's, chicken's, brisket, pork loin, salmon, and prime rib, I have not met its equal!
Posted: 8/24/2012 10:30:14 PM
Had one delivered last week. Heavy, sturdy, beautiful welds. Should last several life times. I prefer to smoke with real wood. I am still expirimenting and the first rack of ribs turned out awesome. 2 chickens will be going on this weekend to try different recipes. I will get some pics for you guys. |

Candace Y.A. Montague
D.C. HIV/AIDS Examiner
The Testimony of Hazel Smith: An HIV-Positive Woman
March 8, 2012 National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day was Saturday, March 10th. Instead of providing lots of statistics and dropping names of educational programs, which is always helpful, I've decided to provide a profile of HIV/AIDS from the perspective of a woman who is actually living with the virus. It doesn't get anymore "aware" than that.
The Testimony of Hazel Smith: An HIV-Positive Woman, Part Two
March 8, 2012 Hazel Smith is an HIV positive woman who is the quintessential survivor. She went through hell, hurt people who loved her along the way yet somehow made it back. In the past, she may have been viewed as a villain or maybe even a victim of society. She is the victor now. This is not a story about shame and blame. It's an honest conversation about how ending the AIDS epidemic takes more than condoms, billboards and awareness days. It's going to take conquering social ills, economic woes, and policy struggles as well.
New Documentary About Church and HIV Coming Soon
March 5, 2012 This week is the National Week of Prayer for the Healing of AIDS. The church has always been a staple in the Black community. It is the source of inspiration, comfort, and support. But the Black church has also been criticized for ignoring the AIDS crisis and fostering stigma. AIDS activists believe that the church could be one of the main sources for turning the tide on the epidemic. Now a new documentary hopes to shed a positive light on churches that are working to end the epidemic.
I, Too, Am Black History: Bayard Rustin
February 13, 2012 Since this is Black History Month, I would be remiss if I didn't highlight some of the African-American LGBT pioneers who paved the way for equality and acceptance. What does this have to do with AIDS? It's simple. Stigma comes from ignorance. Stigma drives hate and forces people to conceal their true selves and their struggles (such as with HIV). Stigma can lead people to engage in unhealthy and risky behaviors behind closed doors. So in order to demolish stigma, we need more education. During the month of February I will implant a few lessons for my readers about some great members of the African-American LGBT community who lived out loud. They were trailblazers. Fierce, outstanding, unapologetic, and courageous people who simply would not take "no" for answer.
AIDS Activists Face Prosecution for Chanting
February 13, 2012 Ten months, five court appearances, three prosecutors, and one U.S. Attorney. This is the backdrop of an excessively lengthy court battle over activists exercising their right to protest a cut in needle exchange funding. A group of AIDS activists have been misled into thinking that a few hours of community service and drug testing would absolve them of charges of misdemeanor trespassing. Now they are facing trial and six months in jail. How harshly should someone be punished for exercising his or her first amendment right to free speech? The answer to that question apparently varies from person to person.
Abstract Writing Workshop at DOH
February 8, 2012 The International AIDS Conference will be here in July. It is my greatest wish to get as many of my readers there as possible (especially those of you who live with HIV). One great way to be there is to be a presenter. There is a very informative abstract writing workshop that is coming up at HAHSTA on this Friday. It promises to be just one hour long. Please make an effort to get there and learn whatever you can about submitting an abstract for a potential workshop. Here's the info straight from HAHSTA to you.
New Documentary About Blacks and AIDS Set to Premiere at IAC
February 8, 2012 If you're still buzzing from National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, have I got news for you. The Dream Factory, a local multimedia production company, is currently working on a a movie about Blacks and HIV called 13 Percent. In this documentary, warriors who are on the front line in the battle against HIV speak candidly about the virus, their experiences, and what it will take to defeat AIDS within the black population. The production will debut during the International AIDS Conference in July and will be the talk of the conference (you heard it here first).
D.C. Activist Chosen as Spokesperson for Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day
February 7, 2012 Christopher Barnhill thought life was over at age 16 when he found out that he was HIV positive at a health fair one day. His mother died of complications due to AIDS in 1989. Yet he soon discovered that his journey was just beginning and that his testimony would be the springboard to help many other people come to terms with their diagnosis. Now thriving at age 26, Chris is healthy, vibrant, and working as the Schools Engagement Manager for Metro Teen AIDS, a popular youth-oriented non-profit organization in Southeast. He was recently chosen as one of the esteemed national spokespeople for National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. Chris shared his perspective with me in a recent interview.
Brief D.C. Must-Do List: Black AIDS Awareness Day 2012
February 6, 2012 National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day is Tuesday, February 7th. But the District will have to look extra hard to find events that recognize this day. Unlike World AIDS Day, when I am flooded with emails about vigils, cocktail parties, congressional briefings, demonstrations and so forth, I have a short list of activities for you this time that pertain to Black AIDS Awareness. In DC, 4.7 percent of African-Americans live with the virus. Among African-American males, the infection rate is an alarming 7.1 percent. It's a crisis that has been so perpetual that the rest of the world has seemingly become immune to the stats. Please don't tune out. Take the time to learn and do something new to fight HIV/AIDS among African-Americans.
Komen's Snub to Planned Parenthood Hurts HIV Efforts Too
February 1, 2012 Planned Parenthood is once again under attack but this time from someone that was once a strong ally. The Susan G. Komen Foundation announced that they would cease all financial support of Planned Parenthood because the organization is under congressional investigation. Critics say that the Komen is succumbing to political pressure because Planned Parenthood has been scrutinized lately for providing abortions. The Komen Foundation vehemently denies this by saying in a released statement "We are dismayed and extremely disappointed that actions we have taken to strengthen our granting process have been widely mischaracterized." Their decision to pull funding from Planned Parenthood not only hampers breast cancer prevention but it also cuts into HIV and STD screenings and prevention as well.
D.C. HIV/AIDS Examiner Candace Y.A. Montague Candace Y.A. Montague has been learning about HIV since 1988 (and she has the certificates from the American Red Cross to prove it). Health is a high priority to Candace because she believes that nothing can come of your life if you're not healthy enough to enjoy it. One of her two master's degrees is in Community Health Promotion and Education. Candace was inspired to act against HIV after seeing a documentary in 2008 about African-American women and HIV. She knew that writing was the best way for her to make a difference and help inform others. Candace is a native Washingtonian and covers HIV news all around D.C. She has covered fundraisers, motorcycle rides, town hall meetings, house balls, Capitol Hill press conferences, election campaigns and protests for The DC Examiner.com and emPower News Magazine.

Fits apple laptop battery PN: A1185, MA561, MA561FE/A, MA561G/A, MA561J/A, MA561LL/A A short circuit is simply a low resistance connection between the two conductors supplying electrical power to any circuit. This results in excessive current flow in the power source through the 'short,' and may even cause the power source to be destroyed. If a fuse is in the supply circuit, it will do its job and blow out, opening the circuit and stopping the current flow.
Both a direct and alternating currents (D/C and A/C) can experience a short circuit. In the event that a battery is shorted, it will be discharged very quickly and will heat up due to the high current flow. This could potentially cause the battery to be permanently damaged.
Due to the high power dissipation in the circuit, short circuits can produce very high temperatures. If a charged, high-voltage capacitor is short circuited by a thin wire, the resulting huge current and power dissipation will cause the wire to actually explode.
Thankfully battery packs like Amstron brand are protected with safety features that prevent them from short circuting easily. The outer casing plays a big role in keeping the internal electronics secure and away from any possible conductors. They also contain safety circuits inside that actually turn off the battery pack when it senses an increase in heat caused by a short.

The best comments on the Post's article about the Stewards
Posted by: Connor Jones in News, Vox Populi, tags: Stewards, The Washington PostEveryone's favorite, the Washington Post is a little late covering Georgetown University's latest petty election scandal. In an article last Thursday, local reporter Ian Shapira recounts the history of the Stewards from beginning to end: from mysterious early 80′s founding to Jack Appelbaum's (COL '13) loss at the polls. Although the Post didn't uncover much new information, the article features some amusing quotes and gave greater D.C. a chance to comment on Georgetown's latest reputed instance of self-importance.
Even though the feelings of Vox readers range from aggressively indifferent to hostile on the Stewards, Vox thought these comments were just too funny to ignore.
First off, though, for some reason, apparently we're calling Steward Throat a blogger now, a designation Vox takes offense to:
The anonymous blogger discovered the secret society's internal e-mails and gleefully published the most amusing material: members deliberating over which ties to wear (Brooks Brothers, of course) and another insider venting about the "extremely left-wing tilt" of the Georgetown University campus tour.
The Post also got a hold of the Stewards' founder, Manny Miranda (SFS '82), who just ignored Vox's requests for comment. He, along with every other Steward, holds that the group is part of the good, social-justice, fellowship, service -type Catholics, not the secretive, white, conservative, scheming, political, -type Catholics.
Miranda said misperceptions about the group are the result of its support for Georgetown's Catholic traditions. "Some of the projects we're associated with are Catholic, but we don't view them as political," Miranda said. "We view them as honoring Georgetown's Catholic identity."

Why is Photo Packaging Important? |
Why is Photo Packaging Important?
We've been asked countless times by studio owners, "Why do I need Photo Packaging? Isn't an envelope or folder good enough?" Our answer usually helps a photographer realize that well thought out photo packaging can actually increase your sales. That's because photo packaging ads value to your prints, protects your products, and projects your brand to your client. Why do fingerprints seem to eventually find their way onto photos? You don't do it, so how do they get there? You can take a print from an envelope a thousand times a day and never leave a single fingerprint. Your clients don't handle prints on a daily basis like you do. They see you handle the print and they feel they can handle it as well as you can.
Let's imagine presenting your client with her 11x14 print, but instead of presenting it in an envelope, this time it's in a colorful photo presentation box. You remove the lid, lightly fold back the matching protective tissue, spin the box around, and extend the box containing the print out to your client. Your client leans over to look with her hands behind her back and never touches the print. It's "Perceived Value". You treated the print like it was far too valuable to touch with human hands, and your client picked up on it. When you present prints in photo presentation boxes, it adds value to your prints. Here's an interesting story. The day has arrived. She carries her youngster into your studio to pick up the 11x14 print she ordered from you. "How does that child always look so cute," you think to yourself. This mom has her act together. You notice the youngster holding the teddy bear she called Velvet. The same teddy bear you used as a prop in her photo shoot. You greet them both with your warm smile, and slide the print out of its envelope and present it for her examination. You know you're good, but this moment is always a bit nerve racking. You hold your breath, and finally a tear forms in her eye. While looking at your print, she tells her child that she is perfectly beautiful. Taking that as an approval, you slide the perfectly beautiful print back into its envelope. You tell her thank you for her business, and after some pleasant small talk, she leaves and you turn back to your work. A minute later, you look out the front window of your studio and notice your client still sitting in her car. She's sobbing. You walk out to her and ask her what's wrong. She hands you the envelope containing her perfectly beautiful print and you notice it's been crushed! She said Velvet wanted to hug her buddy's picture, and before she could stop her, it was too late. You could replace the print for her, or offer a new print at a discount. It wasn't your fault, but you still feel terrible. This is only one scenario that illustrates what could happen to a high priced print presented in an envelope. A rigid photo presentation box may have prevented this problem and many other issues caused by minimal photo packaging. Let's determine how you earned that client's business. You paid for a website so she could find you and see examples of how much better you are than the endless list of photographers she found in her search. You paid a designer for a new logo. A logo that shows her how closely you pay attention to every detail. You even redecorated your lobby so that she feels you are worth every dollar she spends on you. It all paid off. You have created what's known as a brand for your business. You want your studio to stand out from the crowd with a brand that represents your unique identity. You also need to promote that brand consistently, and creating marketing pieces with a common style can help there.
This recognition can be found in any market—there are numerous brands that have created iconic packaging or a specific look that is representative of their product or service (and the good feelings associated with it). The great thing about creating a strong brand is that it not only allows your clients to recognize your marketing pieces, but it can also create an emotional connection. Every time your client see's the beautiful box you presented her prints in, she will remember what a wonderful experience she had at your studio. She may schedule another shoot, or refer you to a friend. That doesn't happen with an envelope.
Well thought out photo packaging is the last touch of style and branding you use to create a connection with your client. Do you want the last thing your client remembers you by to be your envelope or your beautiful photo presentation box? |
