Tips for engagement photography sessions, advice on pre wedding portraits from London wedding photographer Louise Björling – Suggestions for choosing clothes, location and being creative …
A shoot for just the two of you in good time before your actual wedding day. It's become increasingly popular over the last couple of years to book a so called engagement shoot. And I'm intending to look at the many upsides that have couples asking for them and photographers offering them – sometimes even as an inclusion in their wedding packages.
FIRSTLY, it's a chance for the photographer to get to know you through the eye of the camera. (Cause actually, the camera's eye sees you differently, to how the actual eye will see you). And it's a chance for the photographer to understand how comfortable you are in front of the camera.
SECONDLY, and probably even more important for you – you will get to know your photographer. The huge, clumsy camera will turn in to a person and when finally your wedding day arrives, the clumsy camera that has turned into a person, will easily sink into the background – and you will feel so much more natural and relaxed with the camera around you, than you otherwise would have if you didn't feel comfortable with your photographer.
THIRDLY, this is the chance for you both to get awesome shots of you together, without the stress of thinking about other things around you, such as whether your guests are enjoying themselves or whether they are bored, whether you gonna be late for the reception, whether the best man has the disc with him for your First dance as promised… Although I definitely recommend a portrait session on your actual wedding day as well – since of course you want to have those shots of you dressed up and made up and all smily and full of butterflies. But for your engagement shoot, you might have a couple of hours to get cool shots, while your wedding day probably won't offer you more than 20 – 30 min for portraits on your own.
FOURTHLY, for your engagement shoot you can have more control over weather and location! Or if you can't have control over the weather – if it's absolutely pouring down and there is no chance of rescheduling – then at least you are not dressed in your most delicate dress. You can find suitable clothes, umbrellas, boots and location to still get some cool shots. Your photographer will also know which time of the day you will have the best light, and the engagement session can be more flexibly scheduled than the portrait session on your actual wedding day.
The list could go on with positives. But I thought I'd just round of with the most positive of them all: This could be your chance to put �yourself in to the picture that you want to have of you. An opportunity to choose clothes that you love, an amazing location, and to go creative with ideas or maybe even go a bit mad if you wish. A� portrait session is not about just taking some shots of the two of you, where you smile with a cheesy grin to the camera. It's not about getting head shots for your passports. This is about capturing your personality.
* Firstly, think about how you want to be portrayed and what sort of feeling you want in the images – do you want it to be romantic, colourful, black/white, perhaps a bit funky and gritty, cityscape/countryside, vintage or modern? Also think about what location you want to see yourself in. Perhaps a location that says something about you, or maybe a location that means something special to you, or you might want a location that lends itself to create a certain mood.
* A great resource packed with ideas for your shoot, are the bridal blogs. These blogs which are like golden treasure of inspiration for marrying couples, do often showcase engagement shoots – Look out for "Engagement shoots" or "Love shoots" in their menu. Here you'll probably come across an array of interesting engagement sessions which might be slightly off the beaten path – the bridal blogs love featuring portrait sessions that stand out a bit. Such as for example circus theme, fun park setting, movie- themes, surreal fairytale look, vintage look, balloons, over- sized candy, soup bubbles, peculiar props, crazy backdrops…. One of the funniest engagement shoots that recently caught my eye on one of the blogs, was a shoot that started off as a romantic vintage look picnic. And then turned in to a horror movie look, when somebody dressed up and made to look like a monster(!) came running out from the woods and ruined the romance.
* Look at what your photographer has done previously to get some ideas.
*Look around at advertising images around you, fashion magazines or movies for some inspiration.
- Think about blending with the style/mood of the location that you have chosen. For example, a shoot in the countryside or woods would look fab with certain clothes, while a cityscape shoot might look best with a different style of clothes. A romantic shoot might require a different look in the clothes compared to a funny shoot.
- Think about matching each other – or you can mismatch of course, as long as it's done with style.
- � Clothes that just "look good on you"� and brings out your shape, or eyes or skin tone, and so forth.
- Clothes that are a little bit funny – such as t-shirts with funny text that says something about you or your partner.
- Clothes that has a tint of style or attitude to it, which all goes with your personality and style of the location that you've chosen: Such as vintage, rock – look, interesting/crazy patterns, futuristic look, stylish mismatching, traces of your profession or hobby, to name a few.
- A colour that sticks out. For example: toned down and plain colours in the clothes and then red or purple shoes to break it up a bit.
- Designer wear if you wish to go for a trendy look.
- Funny or attractive props if it works with your personality. One shoot sticks to my mind that I saw last year, of a couple who had dressed up really stylish and looked like they had just fallen off the pages of a fashion magazine. Then towards the end of the shoot they had decided to break it all up a bit, and returned in front of the camera with funny, over- sized glasses.
- Trousers for him if you want to look a little bit more "dressed up" – not necessary the black office type, you might want to consider a lighter colour.
- A simple dress in one colour or a dress in soft, romantic pattern, for her
- Simple blue jeans with a casual shirt/t-shirt can be quite nice and relaxed, for him.
- A white / light colour silky dress can be quite nice if you want to create a more "dressy" look that brings thoughts towards the coming wedding, for her.
- Think about how the colours and style work with or work against the backdrop.

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Just as important as Reid Clements' strong pitching and timely hitting by the bottom of the lineup, short-term memory loss by Silverdale Baptist Academy's entire baseball team helped the Seahawks reach a state championship game for the first time in any sport for the school.
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — After narrowly surviving its first elimination game earlier Thursday with a seventh-inning stand, Whitwell's softball team managed some late insurance to get through its second game of the day.
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — There's a new star on the Chattanooga area's track scene, and she's going to be around for a while.
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — For a brief moment the ball popped out of Chance Brown's glove and hung in the air.
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — While they didn't look overwhelmed by the state tournament, Meigs County's young softball Lady Tigers certainly went through some growing pains here in their two games.
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — After having Tuesday off, Baylor's softball team joins the Spring Fling action today in the Division II bracket.
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Reid Clements swore he didn't feel comfortable on the mound until the fifth inning.
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — About the same time as their classmates were being handed their diplomas Tuesday night, Whitwell's three senior softball players were celebrating for a different reason.
The area's first state champion of the 2013 Spring Fling couldn't have come in more dramatic fashion. It certainly couldn't have been any closer as Baylor's Selena Popp claimed the Division II pentathlon title by a single point at Middle Tennessee State University on Monday.
Baylor's Selena Popp is the area's first Spring Fling state champion this week, holding on for a dramatic one-point win today in the Division II pentathlon at Middle Tennessee State University.
From her living room, hundreds of miles away from her old Soddy-Daisy home, Amy Robertson Whitaker can still close her eyes and visualize the scene.
Veteran teams loaded with talent and accustomed to success don't need any help, but Marion County provided it anyway Friday evening.
The nagging injuries are now behind her and so, too, is the competition.
As if he needed added motivation, McCallie's Antoine Ferguson knew he had to finish his final event of the Division II state track and field qualifying meet as quickly as possible Thursday afternoon.
Sale Creek softball coach Clifford Kirk continues to recover in a local hospital after suffering a heart attack on the field during a game Wednesday night.
Sale Creek softball coach Clifford Kirk collapsed along the third-base line during the seventh inning of Wednesday night's Region 3-A high school championship game against Whitwell.
Just a couple of months after hiring one prep coaching icon to take over its football program, Sequatchie County High School has added another legend to its staff.
Sale Creek softball coach Clifford Kirk collapsed along the third-base line during the seventh inning of Wednesday night's Region 3-A high school championship game against Whitwell.
Ronnie Davis, one of the area's coaching legends in girls' basketball, has been hired to take over the program at Sequatchie County High School.
While traditional spring sports such as baseball, softball and track are winding down, the Southern tradition of spring football practice is just kicking off at many tri-state area schools.
STEVENSON, Ala. — The sounds rising from the manicured practice field were similar to those throughout the Chattanooga area.
DUNLAP, Tenn. — Coming out of a 30-minute delay for a power outage, Bledsoe County needed less than five minutes before turning out the lights for good on rival Seqautchie County on Wednesday night.
It would be the equivalent of a football team practicing tackling drills on asphalt or a basketball player using a gravel parking lot to work on his ball-handling.
SOUTH PITTSBURG, Tenn. — Tim Moore is coming home.
Despite not being taken during last weekend's NFL Draft, Nigel Nicholas couldn't be happier about the way things turned out for him, and the opportunity he now has.
Although each sighed in relief as they wore first-place medals around their necks at the end of the day, the stress level it took to claim them couldn't have been more different for GPS's Destinee Lansden and Arts & Sciences' Garrett Tumlin.
It's been an offseason unlike any other for two of the area's top high school football programs.
WHITWELL, Tenn. — When this baseball season began, Logan Alder had exactly one-third of an inning of varsity pitching experience. But Monday night South Pittsburg's sophomore right-hander showed just how far he has progressed in a short time by helping his team wrap up the top seed in the District 6-A tournament.
Chiefs looking again for football coach
KNOXVILLE — They came from every corner of the state, from Bristol to the Bluff City of Memphis. Flags with the trademark power "T" flying from their cars, wearing orange and white caps and T-shirts, the second-largest group of fans to watch a University of Tennessee spring football game poured onto the campus Saturday.
As area track and field athletes begin to hit their stride for a run at qualifying for the postseason, an impressive 21 of the previous top event times or distances were bettered at last week's Optimist Meet at Walker Valley High.
GPS has named Jennifer Williams as its new head basketball coach.
JASPER, Tenn. — As she tried to wipe sweat from her face as she stood near her team's dugout, Harlie Jordan wound up smearing dirt across her cheeks.
GPS has named Jennifer Williams as its new head basketball coach. Williams, who has coached the Bruisers' middle school program and been an assistant with the varsity, takes over for Susan Crownover, who stepped down recently to concentrate on coaching softball.
It was ladies night Friday at the annual Optimist Track Meet at Walker Valley High School, as several area girls either won multiple events or set records.
Aside from the state meet, today's annual Optimist Track Meet is arguably the most prestigious track and field competition each year for area teams. It's also one of the oldest meets, and it's big in numbers.
Destinee Lansden's big plans for Saturday night included a long shower, a comfortable bed and a lot of early sleep. GPS's senior sprinter had a productive but exhausting Saturday afternoon at the annual Mid-South track classic at McCallie, winning the 100 meters and 400 meters and finishing second in the 200.
Silverdale Baptist Academy didn't have to go far to find its new girls' basketball coach.
After 40-plus years of coaching other people's kids, Larry Fleming is finishing his career by working with his own. Fleming, who has coached track and/or football in the area at LaFayette, Rossville, East Ridge, Rigeland and Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe, is coaching track with his son Chip at Coahulla Creek.
The first qualification for becoming Brainerd High School's new football coach had nothing to do with on-field resume.
At first glance nothing much has changed for Soddy-Daisy's softball team.
With a reputation for building football programs into playoff contenders, Chad Barger has found a new job four months after resigning at Sequatchie County. Pending school board approval on April 9, Barger will become the new coach at Clay County in Celina, Tenn.
Although the project can't begin until after this season, Dalton High School has been approved to have a state-of-the-art track facility built on campus.
While a few area high school football programs already have finished spring practice, most are still several weeks away from trading offseason weights for preseason pads.
Barely two months after accepting the offer to become South Pittsburg High School's football coach, Ricky Ross has informed athletic director Vic Grider and Marion County schools superintendent Mark Griffith that he no longer will head the program.
Whether for offensive formations, uniform styles, celebration dances or rules changes, it's just a matter of time before decisions affecting professional football trickle down through the college ranks and eventually reach the high school game.
Barely two months after accepting the offer to become South Pittsburg's new football coach, Ricky Ross has informed school athletic director Vic Grider and Marion County schools superintendent Mark Griffith that he will no longer head the program.
Susan Crownover's coaching load just got a little lighter.

Cool. Does anyone know where the 9800XT external temperature measurement component is located? ATiTool gives me 2 temperature readings, remote (gpu), and local (temp. chip).
the 4th image shows the location of the temp chip on 9800 xt .. thats where the local temp is measured
Thanks for the reply, W1zzard. I was wondering where the thermistor (?) was located though, if it does indeed use one. I guess if so it'd be one of the components close by somewhere.. I'll investigate with the freezer spray sometime.. I'm not too confident of the accuracy of that sensor at the moment, so, I might get around to either raising it up on legs to directly contact the heatsink, or maybe solder a small lead there with the component, or alternative sensor, on the end (so I can stick it wherever I want, say, on the upcoming GPU waterblock. ) Cheers.
the "thermistor" for gpu is inside the core (or under the core on 9800) .. the thermistor for the temp chip is inside the chip .. so no way to do move them
aiw 9800pro supported? Does atitool support fan and temp monitoring on my sapphire aiw 9800 pro 128mb?
temp monitoring what about Hercules Radeon 9700 NonPro. Cause in AtiTool i dont see the temp readings, so i am trying to find out if it is a software issue or just that i dont have the damn termistor on my card ..
do you have any info on the chip? all i could find was a taiwanese website with no english pages .. any contact addresses there?
Temperature measurement of ATI 9800SE AIW ? Hello, I am a happy owner of an ATI 9800SE AIW from Sapphire and I would like to know if my card support temperature measurement. I have already try the ATITOOL but no temperature device was detected. I have then read your article with a lot of interest and find some LM63 device but I can't find the correct foot print on my card. Thanks by advance for your help.
Temperature measurement of ATI 9800SE AIW ? What's a shame ! I feel a bit stupid with my LM63 in my hands now ! Do you think that there is some solution to connect the LM63 on the board even without the correct foot print? I mean by soldering wires at the correct place ? If my analyses is good we need to find the 3V3 power supply, the serial bus an the external tests point of the Internal GPU diode. What do you think about this ?
Hey there! What about Power Color Radeon 9600se (R96LE-C3S)?? Btw: Aren't there any list containing all the models?? Thanks.
Just wondering if anyone knows whether the AIW 9600XT has temperature monitoring. I'd check but I have a vga silencer on my card and I don't feel like taking it off. Thanks.
Sapphire X800 XL I have the Sapphire X800 XL 256 VIVO AGP, it has an LM63 chip on it... but I can't seem to find out the temperature in any programs. Have tried: - My old ATI card had it in the Overclock section, no such section on this card. - Sapphire's RedLine utility seems to have no mention of temp - ATITool doesn't recognise and temp monitoring. Any ideas?
Same here, I just bought an x800XL 256mb agp version and I cant find this god damn temperature reading. Ive looked everywhere. Is it maybe simply dissabled or what?? cause its pissing me off a bit, and id like to know why the pro's and xt's would have it but not the xl....
I own a Sapphire X1300XT 512mb card, so according to this thread I have an LM63 chip (diode?) on my card. Also, I am able to monitor the temp. under the Catalyst Contorl Center. I was wondering why I cannot view the temperature under the ATItool. I am running the beta 16 pre5 build, and it runs perfect! Thanks for this great software BTW Wizzard. Also, are there any low-resource usage temp monitoring software to run in the background while you play a game for OC testing purposes? Thanks for the help guys.

10 facts on safe surgery
25 June 2008
Surgical care and its safe delivery affect the lives of millions of people. About 234 million major operations are performed worldwide every year.
The change in disease patterns worldwide is increasing the need for surgical services considerably. Epidemics and infections are giving way as leading causes of death to ischemic heart diseases, cancers, and trauma - which need surgical interventions.
Ensuring better access to surgical care and its safe delivery is crucial for its effectiveness. The available evidence suggests that as many as half of the complications and deaths arising from surgery could be avoided if certain basic standards of care were followed.
WHO is taking steps to address these issues through:
- the Global Initiative for Emergency and Essential Surgical Care;
- its guidelines for essential trauma care; and
- the Second Global Patient Safety Challenge initiative.

Cinnamon Quinoa Breakfast
(Serves 4)
1 cup quinoa, rinsed
3 cups of unsweetened almond milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp mixed spice
1/2 cup sultanas
1 med apple chopped (save some for topping)
2 tsp agave syrup (optional)
Optional Toppings
You may like to try topping the quinoa breakfast with your choice of nuts such as walnuts or almonds, and an array of fresh fruits such as blueberries, strawberries, banana etc.
Combine quinoa, almond milk, cinnamon, mixed spice, sultanas in a medium sauce pan.
Bring mixture to a boil and then place the lid on the pan and reduce the heat to low.
After 5 minutes stir in the chopped apple and simmer for approximately 5-7 minutes longer.
Stir and check for remaining liquid and if most is absorbed then remove the saucepan from the heat, leaving the lid on the pan and let the mixture rest for 5 minutes to absorb the rest of the milk.
If there is still lots of liquid when you check, simmer for 3-5 minutes longer but keep a close eye over the pot as the mixture can easily burn if left to boil dry, then let it rest for 5 minutes.
Taste for sweetness and adjust to your liking with a dribble of agave syrup.
You may not need the additional sweetener as the sultanas and apple do add sweetness to the mix already, be cautious as even natural sugars can spike your blood sugar levels and you want to minimise this.
Top the mixture with your own nuts and fresh fruits and yoghurt.

THE ART WORLD review of a Francis Bacon retrospective at the Met. The new Francis Bacon retrospective, which is very handsomely installed at the Metropolitan, seethes with indignation. Vamped with an eclectic mix of Expressionist tactics and decorative longueurs, Bacon now looks more prophetic than the Abstract Expressionists do about subsequent developments in art, starting with Pop and continuing through the so-called Pictures Generation. The key is his pioneering use of photographs and printed sources for his subject matter. While Bacon's work is routinely celebrated as an authentic reactive to the horrors and the dislocations of the Second World War, it can come off as a pageant of hangovers and refractory lovers. Bacon's striking formal innovations, in handlings of pictorial space, include swiftly limned cubical enclosures and evocations of proscenium stages, in which painted figures leap to the eye. His paintings, despite their extraordinary visual drama, thus lack a de Kooningesque sense of scale, which knits marks to the shape of the canvas and relates that shape to the viewer's body. The Met exhibition regards Bacon in the light of Pop art and of later grapplings, by artists including Picture crew, with the tyranny of mechanical reproduction in contemporary culture. The most crucial tension of Bacon style, between life mediated by received images and life suffered in the flesh, can be awfully heady. His insistence that all paintings be displayed behind glass, in gold frames works as a prosthetic gloss to unify his lurchingly fragmented surfaces. But upon witnessing, at the Met, the gleaming parade of his career, one begins to understand the policy as a poignant gesture that weds decorative chic to fierce inspiration.

About The University of Dundee
Nobel Prize winning poet and honorary graduate Seamus Heaney has described the University of Dundee as
"having its head in the clouds and its feet firmly on the ground."
The ability to be both aspirational and down-to earth, to blend ground-breaking intellectual achievement with practical applications, has given the University its distinctive character.
There have been many changes since the University became an independent institution in 1967 following a 70 year relationship with the University of St Andrews but the fundamental aim remains.
The aim has been rearticulated in our Transformation Vision. It's what we do today and it's what we have always done. It is to:
"transform lives locally & globally through the creation, sharing and application of knowledge."
Today this aim translates as excellence in teaching and research and contributing to the social, economic and cultural life of Scotland and the wider world. We will continue to focus the University as it powers forward to become Scotland's leading university with excellence in teaching, research and the wider impact of both these key areas of activity.
To help us complete the first stage of this journey we need a route map covering the five years to 2017. The University Strategy to 2017 fulfils this requirement.

Q: Story of the week
A: Do you know?


text: PublicationsInternational Activity Report 2011Sierra LeoneA decade after the end of the civil war, Sierra Leone is still recovering. Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is working to improve maternal and child health. At the Gondama referral center, a 200-bed hospital outside Bo, the second-largest city in the country, MSF offers specialist obstetric and pediatric care. Staff at the center tended to more than 8,700 children in 2011, and assisted over 1,300 births, 723 of which were by caesarean section. MSF also treated more than 1,600 children with severe malnutrition at its nutrition program at Gondama. Severely malnourished children with medical complications were referred to Bo government hospital, where an MSF nurse supports the center's staff. The network of community malaria volunteers, who diagnose and treat simple cases of malaria among their neighbors, was not as large as in previous years. The MSF team continues to support the network, while refocusing its malaria activities towards the provision of specialist treatment at Gondama. Healthcare in local health centersAn outreach team supports five community health centers in Bo district. Staff offer basic healthcare, antenatal care and treatment for malnutrition and malaria, and carry out health promotion activities. A lack of qualified health staff and inadequate health facilities mean that people in need of specialist medical assistance often do not get hospital treatment until the very late stages of their illness or pregnancy. MSF operates an ambulance service to help people reach the hospital more quickly. Three ambulances are on standby 24 hours a day at health centers around the district to transport people free of charge to Gondama. People with more complicated conditions are referred to the capital Freetown. Lassa feverLassa fever is a viral hemorrhagic fever that occurs in west Africa. It is an acute illness that affects several organs in the body, including the liver, spleen and kidneys. Sierra Leone has a specialist ward for Lassa patients at Kenema hospital, 300 kilometers (186 mi) east of Freetown. MSF operates an ambulance to transport people with Lassa fever to Kenema. At the end of 2011, MSF had 484 staff in Sierra Leone. MSF first worked in the country in 1985. |

Whether comments are made on a blog, or spread across the social web, every business wants customers to make a (positive) noise about them.
But while they are great for increasing engagement, comments come with problems of their own.
In a week which has seen YouTube finally take steps to clean out the well of eternal torment that it uses as a comment section, and Popular Science is doing away with the chatter altogether, I thought it would be a good opportunity to look at the various systems in place around the web designed to keep us talking...

Kia has produced one of the year's most memorable adverts, and with the use of Lady Gaga, Twitter, the VMAs and Shazam, the brand looks set for some great 'traction'.
The advert featuring Lady Gaga's new single, Applause, and a handful of America's Next Top Model cast members premiered during the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) show on 25th of August, racking up 10.1m live viewers.
The Kia Soul demographic fits well with that of the VMAs. With many first-time drivers tuning in, the moderately priced and trendy car was a hit, as seen by some of the many tweets.

Is there anybody on the planet who actually enjoys pre-roll video advertising? Research has shown that 94% of people skip pre-roll ads, though I can't believe the number is that low (presumably the other 6% are masochists).
Pre-roll ads are as loathed as pop-ups, which studies found to be damaging to both advertiser and publisher. I imagine that the same applies to pre-rolls. Have you ever watched one and wanted to buy the product or service that's being (badly) pitched to you?
You have to wonder why they're so popular. Certainly the YouTube experience has considerably worsened since it started putting pre-rolls on a far wider range of ads, and I for one would pay a small fee to have them permanently removed.
Why do pre-roll ads suck so badly? Partly it's the interruption, which is often a lot longer than five seconds, and partly it's because the creative tends to be beyond stupid, but there are plenty of other reasons.
The following quotes and videos reflect all that is wrong with the pre-roll format. If you're the kind of person who likes to snuggle up to Satan by commissioning pre-rolls then you might want to take some notes.

4G capabilities, Vine, Facebook's video for Instagram; they've all put online video sharing firmly on the consumer agenda.
Launched in June 2013, Rockpack is an intuitive video curation platform for iOS. With partnerships ranging from Topshop to Jamie Oliver, thousands of channels, and an advisory board consisting of heavyweights such as Stephen Fry, Jamie Byng (Canongate Books) and Sean Knapp (Ooyala), Rockpack is a company to watch.
The globally-available Rockpack platform makes it easy for people to create personalized video channels to share content, as well as to subscribe to video content from friends, influencers and celebrities.
Compatible with Facebook and Twitter, Rockpack offers premium content from vloggers and a growing number of brand partners. The company believes users will share their favorite videos through their own networks, helping to drive the discovery of relevant content through peer-to-peer curation.
Rockpack aims to change the way people discover and share videos, just as Pinterest changed image discovery and sharing. Much like consumers curate photos on Instagram and Pinterest, Rockpack will allow people to browse videos, create personalized channels by category and subscribe to channels created by friends or influencers.

It's always refreshing to see companies in old-school industries ploughing a load of money into content marketing.
When I say old-school, I'm talking about companies that have traditionally been fairly forward-thinking in terms of IT and tech, but not necessarily in backing marketing with anything other than straight ad spend on paid media.
City Index's recent Trading Academy series and campaign was quite a departure, and serves as QED as far as ROI and content marketing is concerned.
Check out the campaign, which won an Econsultancy 2013 Digitals Award for best in financial services.

Like takeaway food, online video can be consumed pretty much anywhere.
Engaging video, with its heritage in television programming and advertising, is eminently sharable through social media, and can be staggeringly successful, or altogether lacking in umami.
So, which brands are using video, and YouTube in particular, to great success? How have these brands approached the creative in shareable content, and who has yet to nail it?

Budweiser proved to be the king of alcohol advertising in Q1 by achieving more than half of total social shares.
The beer company's 'Brotherhood' ad was shared 2.4 million times compared to 970,000 for little-known vodka brand Neft's ad, 'Bad Motherf***er'.
According to Unruly's data, Bud's advert accounted for 59% of total alcohol ad shares in Q1, despite the fact that it isn't really the kind of creative one would normally associate with beer ads.
It's a sickly sweet tale of one man's relationship with his horse, which is a far cry from the usual light-hearted ads beer companies usually go for, including Bud's previous "Wassup" efforts.

It's official: Yahoo has purchased popular blogging platform Tumblr for more than a billion dollars - $1.1bn to be exact.
The internet's latest nine-figure acquisition is probably one most industry observers wouldn't have predicted.
After all, despite that an ex-Googler, Marissa Mayer, is at Yahoo's helm, there were few prior indicators that she was looking to make a billion dollar purchase.
And if there had been, Tumblr, while incredibly popular, doesn't seem like the company that would have made it to the top of the list as Yahoo's track record with acquisitions of user generated content startups is not all that impressive.
From Geocities to Flickr, Yahoo has proven to be a master of reverse alchemy in the space, repeatedly finding ways to turn gold to lead.

Google's decision to move its Shopping product from a free to a paid-for service has coincided with a massive decline in the number of shopping results showing up in universal search integrations on Google.com.
A new report from Searchmetrics shows that in January 2012 shopping results appeared in 20% of universal search integrations, however by December this number had fallen to just 5%.
The steepest decline occurred in October, which is also the month that Google made the switch to a paid-for model.
To be clear, universal search refers to boxes containing additional media, which appear between the actual organic search results and can also generate higher click rates.
Overall the data shows that the proportion of keywords with at least one universal search integration declined throughout 2012. In January the proportion was about 86% but by December it had decreased to 75%.

You probably haven't heard of Explain Like I'm Five. Only about 250,000 people have.
'ELI5' is a subreddit, a stream on the content behemoth Reddit. And it's an amazing example of community in action, one that's been taken to a new level by the people running Reddit recently, with a small move that should be front of mind for any brand attempting to build a community.

Although for 2-3 yrs, this fits my 20 month old well with room to grow, so will come in handy for next ski season. Very good material, soft and seams are very flat and a great colour. Washes and dries well, which is important on ski holidays. Would recommend.
01/02/2013 09:18:08
My son is an average age 10 but we had to get size 11-12 to get a fit round the waist which is only just big enough. This means tha the length is too long and we will have to shorten them to get a proper fit. Like the material and quality though.
23/09/2012 16:49:42
This is grandson's third pair having outgrown other two. Winter holidays and being outdoors cold winter weather at home would be unbearable without his comfort in these.
15/09/2013 14:17:08
Bought for son to use on cub activity day as a base layer under wet suit and hopefully to use if sledging. Good value and certainly appear to have made a difference
02/01/2013 21:30:33
Very comfortable and warm. Size just right for my son. He hasn't worn them yet so only time will tell if they will keep him warm as promised.
14/01/2013 14:14:21
Pretty much able to deal with any cold conditions except extreme cold. Caught in a 100kmh blizzard and I didn't hear any complaints!
27/01/2013 08:52:46
Bought a size bigger for me daughter as she has very long legs but seems the sizes are quite generous as there is room to grow
20/10/2012 16:52:13
These layers are for a ski-ing trip. Would advise anyone to go a size smaller than normal as you want them to fit snug.
24/01/2013 08:46:08
Superb my grandson loves them ,to wear to school as we live in the Pyrenees and it gets pretty cold out here.
31/01/2013 09:30:04
Good fit. Wait to check the quality after first wash. I am happy with the produt it fullfilled its aim
12/01/2013 10:01:59
Bought for skiing trip. Not worn yet. Have had same product previous years and always happy with them.
26/02/2013 16:32:57
These pants are quite narrow in the leg for their length. Would be more comfortable a little wider
18/01/2013 20:01:01
really pleased it was buy one get one free as have two children and it can get quite expensive
01/02/2013 20:44:38
The label said to fit a 14 year old and it did! Very impressed with the quality and the fit.
04/02/2013 19:09:39
Great price, good quality material, great fit & my son thinks they are pretty cool!
07/03/2013 18:56:14
beautifully warm, worn by my 2yr old grand-daughter who approves of the colour!
07/03/2013 08:51:26
very happy with product very comfortable and warm for my daughter when outdoors
04/01/2013 08:40:43
Very important taking children skiing that they don't get cold - perfect.
11/03/2013 18:17:17
Lovely base layer, comfortable and kept my daughter warm when skking
27/01/2013 13:15:15
Realy good fit and very cheap compared to some other base layers

Reblogged from Funny Facebook Status Messages and Facebook Fails:
Last night, a hacker found his or her way into the social media accounts of at least nine different Major League Baseball Teams, posting status updates and tweets that ranged from the crude to the (admittedly) hilarious. Curse you, illegal criminal of cyberspace, for making me laugh!
All teams have since deleted the offending posts. The Chicago Cubs even followed up with the tweet: "For the record, the #Cubs are big fans of Bill Murray.
When mixing in sports and Facebook, we get this. Deadspin uncovered that it was actually from an employee within MLB that was bitter, trying to play around with something that was not meant to go public. But since they are underpaid, I guess this is frustration going on.
Plus, the Braves update actually kind of sounds real. Chipper Jones is the man!

2009Hunger is one of the biggest problem today in the whole world. It is a famine resulting from the different calamities that claim more victims each year due to its devastating effects on human beings. People became malnourished that may even cause their death.Children lack different food nutrients that is why their physical, and mental growth are being impaired, making them easily infected to different diseases. As a result they cannot study well as they grow up. Due to lack of education many people are unemployed- that is why they cannot afford to buy food which is the consequence of the poor economic development. But let's have a positive vision about the proper solution to hunger as a worldwide problem. Each one of us must show concern to our environment and with the help of the government in producing different strategies to be complemented to fight this. Let's work hand in hand together with the guidance of our Dear Lord for a richer economic development.

Team Collaboration
*Getting Started
We started to plan our project and we set our schedules on dates we can meet and do our project.
*During our working days
We used internet and some books to get information about our topic and interview around our community, one is a tricycle driver and one is a teacher in an elementary school.
After gathering information and completed it, we went to our school and used the computers in our school computer laboratories and organized it and also edited it for better results.
Team Diversity
While doing our project we're not that serious but when we are working we are trying to make our project presentable.
Angelica Anne, a cute and lovely little girl who is very indulged in working with other students. Eventhough she's not that sociable, she managed to be with other students and worked with them in her utmost performance concerning writing. Sorell, a techy guy who always wants to be at the top. He makes sure that when it comes to computer, he is the wise one. He was awarded "Best in ICT" for the 1st year level for this school year. He had contributed well in terms of research and writing. Richelle, she is always late but she's trying hard to attend at exact time but she has done things for the team. She's not very active in class but she finds time to learn with her classmates. Annabelle, an incoming third year student, the eldest, in spite of the fact that her team mates are first year students, she acted like the "big sister" and contributed so much in research and writing. She often attends scheduled meetings and she gave her best to work on their project and make it more informative and contribute for the good of their project. Sharmaine, classmate of Annabelle, a "fashionista" in nature. She always wear cute little dresses with pastel colors. Carlo, we call him the outcast. Why? he's not around when needed but by the end of the week, he makes sure that he have done his part to finish the project.

SAX restaurant & lounge - Washington DC
Online Reservations
We went here to celebrate my birthday. Great food, our waitress was fantastic and the service is excellent. We truly enjoyed the cocktails, I personally loved the Melange :-) The place is expensive but believe me it is WELL WORTH IT. You get to have great food and drinks and enjoy the burlesque shows every 20 minutes. I had the best time of my life along with my friends.
This place is awesome! A truly one of a kind experience. Came here for a friend's birthday party and had a blast. The food was delicious and the service was some of the best I've ever had, it felt like we were royalty. The manager even brought out a round of complimentary birthday shots! Very nice touch. As far as decor, ambiance, and concept goes, this is the best in DC. Nothing else compares. I will definitely be back.
The decor was beautiful, loved the entertainment, and the food was delicious. The bottomless mimosas were an added benefit to a great experience. If you are looking for a unique dining experience, this is a good choice.
Out friend recommended this place to us for our anniversary and we were pleasantly suprised. My wife didn't know what to expect as it was a suprise location and she was blown away! The burlesque shows are very tasteful and happen about every 10 min. The staff are REALLY great. Our cups were never empty, the menu was explained in detail, and the waitress always seemed to appear just when we needed her. The food wasn't "the greatest I have ever had", but it was quite tasty. I would definitely recommend the tasters menu. $35 and worth every penny. Very nice presentation. The drinks were a bit expensive, but I expected that because of the shows. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better night!
They took such good care of us. They made my fiancee feel so special on her birthday. This was place awesome. Everyone was friendly.
I was already a fan of Sei and Oya so I was expected nothing less than greatness from this restaurant and, boy, were those expectations met and then some! We chose Sax to celebrate a friend's birthday and it was a wonderful experience beginning with the luxurious velvet decor and chandeliers to the fabulous burlesque show. The drinks were amazing and atypical. The food was delicious. We will certainly be back!
SAX charged my friend over $300 when her bill was $80, and they refuse to return her phone calls to resolve the matter. Our server was perfectly fine, and though the food left alot to be desired the ambience was fun and with a few drinks we could ignore the mediocre food. When we paid our bill, 4 of the 7 of us paid with a credit card. Each of our cards were swiped for $82.00 and we each signed the slip authorizing said payment. Two days later, my friend noticed that her debit account was short about $320. Instead of debiting the authorized $82, they charged her for the balance of the bill and didn't charge the rest of us. She has called the restaraunt everyday adn the management refuses to respond to her!
The food isn't amazing, but the atmosphere and service is great. This was a nice change to the boring night out with the girlfriend. She was pretty hesitant to go...but loved it by the end.
A co-worker told me about this place so I decided to try it out. My first impression, the place is very dark and intimate. My hubby and I love that. However, once we got seated we realize it was very cold. It was so cold I wanted to leave, because I wasn't comfortable. I asked the waitress is it always that cold in there and she said yes. Why, I don't know. Also, the menu is very limited with food options, but we managed to decide on something. The crab fondue appetizer is great, we also had the lobster pizza, which was ok and the truffle fries. Overal, it's a really great place. I'll return for sure, but bring a coat.
My husband and I went out for our Friday date to SAX because I fell in love with the decore! The restaurant decore emulates that of an opera house and is beautiful. What adds to the wonderful decore is the awesome burlesque show topped off with great wait staff. The restaurant is on the pricer side but one can expect that going to SAX. In addition to everything, the food was pretty great as well. One thing I would ask is for the watermelon/tomato soup to be warm (if not at least hot), other than that, great spot!
I decided to try something new for restaurant week and picked Sax based on the ratings on opentable and the pictures. Didn't know anything about the place until the reservation was booked and was looking up their dress code (which was strictly enforced). I was surprised to learn that they offer burlesque shows as part of the dining experience. The food was fantastic, I ordered the short ribs from the restaurant week menu and it was literally melt in your mouth tender. The dancers were great and overall I had a fantastic experience. Definitely going back again.
Nice to have something different. There are hundreds of restaurants in the area but few are bold enough to experiment. This place combines quality entertainment, excellent service, superior food and beautiful decor.
The atmosphere is tremendous. SAX has obviously spent a considerable some to create a 19th century French ambience. The food is very good - fine presentation, more filling than the portions might suggest, and the bartender has skills. It's a bit dark, but the server clips a small light to your table so you can read the menu. If you're going to have diner, the $50 fixed price menu is a good option. We had the prawns, bass, and bread pudding - all very good. The burlesque shows that run every 15 min. are the real hook. SAX hirers quality dancers and choreographers. Poll dancing is taken to a level that would make Cirque du Soleil proud. Without the valet that couldn't change a 20 and the insulting 20% surcharge, its a fine night out.
I love this restaurant! The entertainment is cultural and classy. Great place to take out of town guest. The food is okay. I like the appetizers better than the entries. Great drinks. The experience here is a must!
We went on a friday night to celebrate 2 of my friends' birthdays and we had an amazing time. The servers were very attentive and allowed us to nearly enjoy a course before bringing on the next course. The food was delicious - we all tried something new. And no one was disappointed. The show was pretty awesome as well...especially for those who've never seen a Burlesque show. The music was great, atmosphere great, time great! If you have an opportunity to go, please do. I ate watermelon gazpacho, pan seared bass and had a liquid desert...amazing!
We came because of a LivingSocial coupon, and because we like the food at OYA and SEI. We were doubtful about the theatrics and theme, but it worked on the whole. The stage shows were fine, unambitious and mildly entertaining, something to look at; they're very short and staged every 20 minutes or so, which is great - it keeps things from getting too loud, and it's possible to enjoy food and conversation. The food was surprisingly good. The tables were very dark, which we normally dislike, but they brought us little bright lamps (LED book-light types), This isn't a normal dining place, but it makes a good special occasion place. We were also expecting to feel disapproving (objectification of women, etc.) but somehow didn't.
This restaurant was very whimsical. I loved the food and the service was great. I loved the Burlesque shows and will definitely be visiting again soon.
This was our first time at this restaurant and we had a blast! Lots of short shows to entertain us and the food and drinks were quite good. Everyone seemed to be having a wonderful time. We will definitely be back, next time for brunch.
Great atmosphere. The performances are the best part of the experience. Enjoyable for men and women. The food was delicious, but the portions are too small to satisfy; don't arrive hungry. The food and cocktails are ridiculously overpriced, although everything tastes really good. I'm not sure if they are understaffed right now, but it was difficult to get service for anything. I spent a lot of time waiting at my table for someone to walk by. The saving grace of this place is the theme and the ambiance.
I took my 31yr old nephew from CA. and he had a great time..............Thanks!
the ambiance, service, performance, why doesn't everyone know about this place? great fun.
I had a great brunch with my friends. Audrey,our server was amazing. Everyone was extremely friendly. Some of the food was a little bland and required salt and pepper which wasn't on the table and the server had to bring and she had to grind the salt and pepper on our food and she wouldn't leave it for us to use freely. We thought that was a little strange.
I felt compelled to write a review for SAX because there were so many mixed reviews online. As a frequenter on the DC dining scene, I found the food to be good! It was perfectly on par with our expectations for a fun Girls Night Out! Our server was amazing and extremely attentive -- and the other staff made sure we had a great time by providing us with fun "elixirs" for my birthday celebration :) The Burlesque Show was AMAZING -- especially the last two acts! Definitely plan to stay a while to catch the acts as they progress through the night. Definitely would recommend SAX to anyone looking for a different and enjoyable night on the town!
Great Food, Great Ambience, Great Entertainment,Perfect Music,Perfect Vibe,and Most Important Great Service!!!
I didn't know what to expect so was very surprise by the show it was fabulous. I had out of town guest from New York and they really enjoyed it also. Food was ok but the service was great.
I loved this spot!!!! The service was great from the moment you walk through the door. The bread pudding was really tasty, enjoyed the ambiance.
My date and I enjoyed a wonderfully romantic dinner here one Saturday evening. Between the wine, the food, and the shows, we had a fabulous time. We chose the prix fixe menu which provided three courses for a reasonable price and started with the fondue which was delicious. They capped off our evening with a free dessert shot which was enjoyable as well. The food quality and service was excellent for the price, but the ambiance is definitely what makes this place. I would definitely return for another special occasion.
Nice entertaining/dining experience. It dawned on me much after we ate and had left that there is a "service charge" added on the bill and then a line to add the gratuity. If i'm not mistaken the service charge was for lovely burlesque dancers, however I took it for granted that is was the tip after a few martinis. The dancers were a combo of body styles and they were having a noticeably good time, thoroughly enjoyed there work which added to the show. The "Filet Oscar" was very tough to cut, almost rubbery, however very tasty and melt in your mouth, strange combo however good. Save room for the gooie chocolate cake dessert, decadent and rich. Very romantic classy evening was enjoyed by my date and by myself, we shall return.
This was an awesome experience. Sax had great ambiance with talented cabaret dancers & entertaining dance routines. The food was decent (a tad over-priced), but the mixed drinks were excellent.
This was my second time at the lounge great food and entertainment. Fun for girls might out or a romantic night with your mate.
The restaurant is beautiful, staff is super friendly and helpful, shows are fantastic. Food is good, but not worth the price.
.enticing and stimulating shows, what more could you ask for?!? Ladies, this is a perfect place to bring your male (or female) significant other. They will be mesmerized as they enter the establishment, the staff will accomodate you graciously and the shows will be icing on the cake!! A must see...
My Maid of Honor made reservations for my bachelorette at Sax on a whim. We honestly didn't know what to expect but we were definitely blown away! From the live shows to the food to the tasty drinks. This place was fantastic! The ambience was on point and not to mention our server was amazing! She was helpful and mindful of certain diet restrictions! Would definitely love to go back to celebrate another milestone in my life!
This is a very fun and unique venue. Definitely adults only and would be fantastic for a special occasion.
Burlesque Wednesday was when we attended. Party of 8 out for a midweek girls night. The restaurant itself was lovely. Very sensual atmosphere without being over the top. Most of the staff was super accommodating and friendly. The food was received by our group with mixed reviews. All the appetizers were AMAZING. The main course- not so much. The sea bass was delicious. The scallops were kind of sandy, risotto was under cooked. Beef short ribs were could def use something in the spices/flavors department but it was however fall apart tender. The performances were just ok. It was nice to have entertainment but the performances were few and far between. But it is not a burlesque show. Conservative "lingerie" style costumed dance
I loved this place! The food was great, the service was excellent, and the burlesque show was very entertaining. I would definitely recommend this place!! I celebrated my birthday here on a Wednesday night and I couldn't have been happier.
After hearing rave reviews about SAX, I suggested that this would be a great spot for our book club anniversary. It didn't disappoint! From the minute we walked through the door until we departed, the service was first class. The food was very good, the entertainment was great and the service was superb! Oh yeah, the drinks were great too. We had such a good time, I'm taking a friend for her birthday next week. Thanks SAX and keep up the good work!
I took my wife here for her birthday and she LUV'D IT!!! The service was great and the burlesque show was in a class by itself!! Food was a little pricey but, for a special occasion, worth it!! Would definitely go back.
Despite the Burlesque & Bubbles show, I was at Sax for the food. The prix-fixe menu on Wednesdays happens to be an especially good value and includes a small glass (3-4 sips worth) of sparkling wine. The scallop appetizer and sea bass entree were beautifully presented and prepared. Sax is a throwback to a turn-of-the-century French dinner theater. The decor is spot on with red velvet and gold everything and the theme is fully integrated from the wall coverings to the staff's attire to the walk-around greeter in character. The show takes place in a glassed-in stage above the bar periodically throughout the night in one number show tunes. It is more cabaret than burlesque but no less risque in choreography and costume.
This place was recommended to me by a friend for the ornate atmosphere and burlesque shows. Very talented entertainers that establish a energetic atmosphere that will make you forget about time. I took a first date there and was there for 4 hours, but felt like half that long due to the great food, service and entertainment. You can't be a prude,…it's a little risqué, but with taste.
I think the atmosphere, service and entertainment was five stars and very tastefully planned. I would highly recommend the theater to family and friends for enjoyable time. It was a different type of amusement and extremely romantic, which set the tone.fo r
My husband and I had a great time at Sax! We were celebrating his birthday while enjoying Sunday brunch. The food was good and the service was excellent. The shows were entertaining! We will definitely go back.
Immediately upon entering you forget you are in the heart of downtown dc. The waiting area has a mysterious, kind of spooky vibe to it. We checked our coats in, complimentary and was seated right away. Once you get past the waiting area..WOW. The vibe is very new age burlesque. Everything is gold, gaudy, and velor. The stage is set up right above the bar. I went for a my birthday dinner with my boyfriend and we were seated directly across from the stage, so we had great seats. All the waitresses and waiters are dressed in all black with masquerade masks. We ordered the truffle fries, they came with this amazing dipping sauce. I had lobster and my boyfriend the duck. By far my favorite of all three restaurants. We will be back ASAP!!!!!!!
I absolutely LOVE SAX. They have amazing cocktails, food, service and the entertainment is incredible. The burlesque dancers are so talented. The ambiance is romantic and great for groups, as well. I have been there three times and definitely plan to go back.
We heard about Sax from a friend. It was a wonderful time. We went for our anniversary and were treated very well. Everyone was friendly & entertaining. I loved the shows the music & everyone who works there. I recommend it for a special evening with friends and couples. Really great time!
I enjoyed the Sax experience. The food was marvelous and the entertainment was unique and enjoyable. I'll be back.
My husband exclaimed, "this is the only place I would come and have dinner alone!" The atomsphere was cozy, the burlesque performers were outstanding, the food was delicious, and the face of my husband when he arrived...Priceless.
I had the best time at Sax Restaurant the employees where inviting and alert. I have the best waitress Sara. She really took care of me and my party. Franco and Angie also made me feel right at home. The dancers were absolutely talented it was a experience of a lifetime. I will definitely be coming back. Thank you for a memorable evening.
This place was absolutely amazing. The staff was friendly and attentive. We were laughing because we said the staff had to be trained ninjas because they kept coming out of nowhere to help us. This was an overall great experience and the cost was well worth the entertainment and service we received. I would recommend making an reservation to get the full experience. 4 thumbs up to this place! I would recommend it to friends and family and would return.
After a bad first experience (the check had to be sent back three times because they prices were wrong and the numbers were not added up correctly) this time we had a pleasant experience. The server was very attentive, as well as the maitre d' and the bus buys. They offered us prime seating and space from the other tables, which was a very nice gesture. Also, we were offered a free specialty shot at the begining of the meal. Overall, a pleasant experience.

Market News
ABI predicts massive shift in automotive navigation platforms
According to ABI Research's report "Location System and Platforms Forecasts, Global", much of this growth is in the perpetually commoditizing smartphone application market, reaching over 395 million downloads by 2016. However, there will continue to be a place for high-quality navigation services and features, particularly as car OEMS begin to support connected services, enabling applications to leverage information about the car and the driver.
The other major trend is toward factory-installed navigation solutions. Factory-installed navigation solutions are set to overtake PND shipments by 2015, reaching 25 million units, illustrating the importance of this market. Both PND vendors Garmin and TomTom have announced a series of design wins for line-fitted and semi-integrated navigation solutions. These are particularly suited to the mass market, mid-tier ranges, where the low cost offered by these solutions will be a big differentiator.
With the connected car and in-car telematics markets forecast to become a significant revenue generator over the next five years, it is vital for companies to use navigation as a platform on which to offer additional services. Although the total connected car market is multi-faceted, covering mandates, infotainment, cost saving applications, etc., PND companies should look to support a variety of these services in a low cost way, much like they did with navigation.
