The email marketing classic FAIL
Apr 8th
"The essence of an exceptional technology public relations agency is not something that can be captured with words. Rather, it is something that must be experienced." — Tech Image website
Well, I sure had an "experience" with Tech Image — and not a very professional one.
I get "pitched" by authors and publicists every week who are trying to get a mention on {grow}. As you've noticed, I don't normally advocate products or services here. To me, the blog would start looking like one of those jackets the NASCAR drivers wear. But I'm polite, especially when the folks think enough to write a personal note or even mention my blog. Even though I may not be interested in a product, I'm always interested in the person and building new connections.
Likewise, I also get tons of spam like everybody else, which I politely dump.
But this week I got one of the worst pitches ever … from a notable PR company (the aforementioned Tech Image) because it was spam … publicizing an eBook on email best practices from a company called Campaigner.
The irony of this is just too great to ignore.
So let's use this as a lesson on how NOT to promote yourself to a blogger.
1) If you're sincere in trying to make a connection with me, don't send a form junk letter pretending to know me. Then I have to figure out if I really know you and that just takes up time that I frankly don't have. It would be much better to say upfront, "we're sending this out to a list of marketing bloggers who might be interested in …". At least then I know you've done a little homework … which is good … but that I don't have to figure out where we've met before.
2) Don't send me unwanted spam to tout email marketing best practices. When I send out my email newsletter through Constant Contact it takes me through a series or prompts to remind me that people I am contacting have actually opted-in for the mailer. Isn't THAT a best practice?
3) If this is important to Campaigner, why isn't Campaigner sending out the email? So let's get this straight, I'm getting a promotion on email marketing best practices, published by an email marketing company, who can't send out their own email marketing? Having a third party send out your emails. Hmm, is that also one of the best practices I should note?
Now compare this to a note I got last week from Chris Houchens.
Hi Mark –
We follow each other on Twitter (@shotgunconcepts) and I'm a reader of your blog.
I was wondering if you would be interested in a comp copy of my latest book, "Brand Zeitgeist: Embedding Brand Relationships into the Collective Consciousness." The book reinforces basic marketing and branding principles and illustrates how businesses can use fundamental aspects of human nature to develop a brand strategy.
Also since I'm so close to Knoxville, I was wondering if there was a possibility of some sort of event we could partner on. I could give a 30/60 minute presentation on the basics of branding, do book signings, etc. You could invite current/potential clients of your agency to the event and use it to develop your business. Just a thought. If you have another idea, I'm open to all.
Now isn't THAT how it's done?
P.S. "Brand Zeitgeist" is a short, sweet little book on brand evolution using examples from some of the world's most enduring icons. The book can be found HERE. Support the community : )
Is technological complexity just covering up your other business problems?
Apr 7th
Complexity has been a theme through many posts on {grow}, most typically connected with the word "STRESS!"
I had a fascinating discussion with one of my ex-professors about technological complexity and why it is often making business life more difficult, instead of easier. A fundamental idea we explored was that often, technological systems are implemented to try to make up for a loss of business experience. Let's see what you think. Here's an example, comparing two real companies I have worked with:
The case for experience
Company A is a mid-sized tech firm whose newest senior manager joined the company eight years ago. Most of the top executives have been in the same company, in the same market, for 20 years or more. Even during the recession, they have made it a priority to retain experienced managers.
Company A has a simple CRM system to keep their sales pipeline straight but for the most part rely on their cumulative industry experience and intimate customer knowledge to serve their market and respond quickly to opportunities. Do they rely on Twitter and social media monitoring to "listen" to their customers? No. They KNOW what's happening because of their deep personal relationships. Their customers typically pay more for their services and demonstrate incredible loyalty due to these long-term bonds.
Now let's turn to Company B. Over the past decade, this company has rapidly replaced people who fail in a job. So even an experienced "superstar" who goes into a new job and doesn't knock the lights out right away is replaced by an outsider who has zero experience in the company and probably zero experience in the industry. Within a few years, only one out of their 12 most senior executives was "home-grown."
Implications of tech versus experience
To make up for the rapid experience and knowledge drain, many of the new executives instituted their own management systems, often carrying over a familiar application from their previous company. Workers at Company B are almost constantly learning a new "process." To make matters worse, if a rumor begins that an executive is on the way out, all progress comes to a halt because they know that the replacement manager is just going to change direction on technology again any way.
When Company B was faced with a contract negotiation with its largest customer, all of the managers who knew the customer and had been part of previous negotiations were gone. So they hired a consultant to build a computer model that considered supply, demand, competitor capacity, pricing scenarios and every possible angle to produce a can't miss negotiation strategy. The result? Company B lost the customer entirely, an event the computer model predicted could not possibly happen. The computer couldn't account for trust and business relationships.
Now I know there are a LOT of managerial problems with the Company B scenario I'm presenting, and obviously some level of complexity is inherent in any business. But the point is, too often we …
- Rely on software to mask over deeper management problems.
- Focus on data instead of information.
- Take comfort in analytics instead of common sense.
- Minimize the value of real business wisdom and (gasp!) intuition because we feel the latest tech hype must be infallible.
Most likely, relying on software in place of real business experience results in personal stress, bloated costs, wasted resources, and excessive complexity.
As you try to stay ahead of the mounting technological tsunami, perhaps it is time to pause and consider whether there is a true business case for that new app or if this is just an attempted quick fix to bigger problems.
What do you think? Does this idea about complexity make sense in your company and your life?
Why politics may drive the social web
Apr 4th
While President Obama's use of the social web to connect with voters and raise funds has been well-documented, it may be Scott Brown's impossible 2010 senatorial win that cements the social web's role in politics — and perhaps sets it at the forefront of social web innovation.
To set the stage, this was one of the most important state elections in American history. Healthcare reform was the centerpiece of the Democratic platform and its success hinged on the simple fact that the party held 60 seats in the U.S. Senate, the majority needed to overcome procedural tactics from the opposition that could prevent a vote. That tenuous balance of power shifted when Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts died of cancer last August. The future of healthcare reform and the political makeup of the Senate apparently would be determined by a special election in that state.
This Massachusetts senatorial seat has had a Democratic incumbent for 57 consecutive years and Martha Coakley, the state's well-funded attorney general, was considered a prohibitive favorite to continue that trend. Yet the victory went to Brown, a little-known Republican state senator, who surged in the final two weeks of the campaign and overcame a 30-point deficit in just over two months.
What could have caused this amazing turn of events? While his election was certainly aided by growing concern over Democratic policies, tireless campaigning, and some timely Republican funding, his use of the social web, as documented by a new study, may be the tactic that will imprint state and local elections forever.
According to research conducted by the Emerging Media Research Council, Brown's effective use of social networking tools including Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. could have been a factor in his surge. Here were his numbers as of election day:
Facebook Fans: Brown (70,800), Coakley (13,529) He received 10 times more Facebook interactions than his opponent.
Twitter Followers: Brown (9,679), Coakley (3,385) Brown's Twitter feed dominated his web page. Both candidates tweeted about the same amount, but Brown offered twice as much original content, providing a more "engaged response."
Ning: The "Brown Brigade" had 6,000 members. The platform created a campaign community to announce events, organize outreach, and compile blogs about his campaign.
Blogging: Did not appear to be a factor. Brown did not have one. Coakley's discussed campaign events and received few comments.
YouTube Video Views: Brown (578,271), Coakley (51,173)
While visits to both candidate webpages were about equal, the study concludes that Brown's use of social media helped drive his election in several ways, including boosting name recognition both in Massachusetts, and out (which helped fundraising). They note that just 51% of Massachusetts voters had heard of Brown in a Nov. 12 poll, and by Jan. 14 his name recognition was at 95%.
An irony of this development is that Democrats have received the bulk of the credit for progressing campaign-oriented social media networks, but were out-done by the Republicans. In fact, a report released this year found that Republican lawmakers were using Twitter more than five times as much as Democrats. Leading tweeters are Sen. John McCain and South Carolina Senatoe Jim DeMint, who was determined by one algorithm to have more Twitter "clout and influence" than any other senator.
Clearly, the use of social media will now be inexorably linked to political campaigning. But the more interesting prospect may be what is yet to come. With the intense research, resources and scrutiny given to the use of the social web as a tool of stakeholder engagement, could political parties emerge as principle technology innovators?
Politics as social web innovator and driver brings up some other interesting questions:
- How do social web lessons from the business world translate into the world of politics?
- How will social media policies apply to political campaigns … to prevent potential embarassment from over-zealous tweeters, for example?
- How will these lessons translate in other countries, especially where social media adoption is just beginning?
- Why weren't blogs more important as a mechanism for political response and establishing a voice of authority? Are they afraid of putting their stands in writing?
- What business opportunities will emerge from this insatiable need for political social media consulting?

Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., was among the Republicans on the losing side of the Senate's 85-8 procedural vote Monday on the Violence Against Women Act, which is expected to win bipartisan reauthorization in the chamber Thursday. Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan., did not vote Monday but has said he will support the revised bill; he and Roberts voted against VAWA's reauthorization last spring, before it stalled in the House. As Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said: "This is an equal-opportunity crime that harms people regardless of their political affiliation, their profession or their status in life. It's an issue that deserves bipartisan support."

This letter, my very dear Eliza, will not be delivered to you, unless I shall first have terminated my earthly career; to begin, as I humbly hope from redeeming grace and divine mercy, a happy immortality.
If it had been possible for me to have avoided the interview, my love for you and my precious children would have been alone a decisive motive. But it was not possible, without sacrifices which would have rendered me unworthy of your esteem. I need not tell you of the pangs I feel, from the idea of quitting you and exposing you to the anguish which I know you would feel. Nor could I dwell on the topic lest it should unman me.
The consolations of Religion, my beloved, can alone support you; and these you have a right to enjoy. Fly to the bosom of your God and be comforted. With my last idea; I shall cherish the sweet hope of meeting you in a better world.
Adieu best of wives and best of Women. Embrace all my darling Children for me.
Ever yours
July 4. 1804
From Alexander Hamilton to Elizabeth Hamilton, [4 July 1804], Founders Online, National Archives
On July 11, 1804 Alexander Hamilton was mortally wounded in duel with Aaron Burr, and would succumb to his wound the following day. This letter to his wife was written in the days prior, during which he noted his other reflections on the upcoming "interview."

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My daughter is shy and not outgoing. This school has been so welcoming and warm and made her feel that she fits right in with the rest of the students. The leadership at HCHS is outstanding and always accessible to parents. The teaching staff is seasoned and exceptional. We have experienced 3 other christian schools and HCHS is by far the best.
We love the high school! Our oldest daughter attended the school and had a wonderful experience. She had opportunities as a freshman to get involved from right away. She was able to take college credit math and business courses to earn 21 hours of college credit before she even stepped foot on a college campus. Our second daughter is a freshman now and she loves her time at Horizon so far. She is excited for the girl sports that are returning to Horizon. As a parent s the part that excited us are those college credits and the number expanding each year! At this point our second daughter can her science, at least one of her college English courses, a business course, and because she is advanced in math she will come out with 6 math courses. If your child wants to explore drama then Horizon is the Place for you! Mrs. V is GREAT! The productions she can put are top notch! If you are looking for a place for your student be get involved take college credit courses in a Christian environment then our family recommends having your student spend a day shadowing a Horizon student and let them get a feel for the school themselves. Ours both have and this helped them decided.
It's a fun school. It has awesome people and everyone knows everyone which is also cool.
If you are looking for a school that is heavy on sports, but light on academics, this is the place for you. Horizon Christian works hard to set low academic expectations so that student-athletes are given minimal challenge, keeping them eligible for sports. Teachers who push students intellectually are flushed out of the system while the school maintains teachers that spend a week showing television shows such as Malcolm in the Middle. Their adherence to the Assembly of God's anti-intellectual, touchy-feely Christianity is equally present, lacking entirely depth of thought, theology, or meaningful engagement in their Bible instruction. While their chapels can be emotion-invoking, they typically lack anything beyond shallow teaching, forfeiting the opportunity to actually help students develop lasting roots in the Christian faith. The bottom line is that Horizon resembles a small, Protestant version of Jesuit: strong dedication to sports with minimal effort given to meaningful Christian theology or academic rigor. I would not recommend this school to anyone who wishes their student to do anything beyond being a good athlete.
Horizon Christian High School has given my son the tools to develop academically, spiritually, socially and physically and has helped him to become a confident and strong young man. The teachers really go the distance to support and challenge each student to be the person they were created to be. Outside the classroom, the physical training is excellent and the concern for the surrounding community is encouraged as well.
i've sent two girls to this school (and my two older kids to the local public high school). What they give up in class selection is more than made up for by virtue of student/teacher ratio and the willingness of the teachers to go the extra mile to help students do their best. The SAT's were also very encouraging, being better than what we had experienced with my older two in public. The principal has been excellent in helping families with the college path. The small school atmosphere has been a pleasant surprise as well having experienced the 2,000+ school environment.
Daughter attended 2 years, excellent staff (administration personnel is outstanding) for most part. Limited course offerings as the school is very new. Four and one half stars!

Matson Terminals to plead guilty to two violations of the Rivers and Harbors Act
Matson's subsidiary, Matson Terminals, and the United States Attorney for the District of Hawaii have signed a plea agreement pursuant to which Matson Terminals will plead guilty to two misdemeanor violations of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899, which will resolve all federal criminal charges arising from the molasses incident in Honolulu Harbor in September 2013. Matson Terminals will pay a total penalty of $1M which will be comprised of a $400,000 fine and a $600,000 community service payment with $300,000 of such payment being made to the Waikiki Aquarium, to support their Coral Programs and Invasive Algae Clean-ups and the remaining $300,000 payment being made to Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii — to inspire local communities to care for their coastlines through beach clean-ups. The proposed resolution is subject to review and approval by the court. Matson Terminals and its affiliates have not yet resolved any potential civil claims by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or claims by the State of Hawaii arising out of the molasses incident. Matson Terminals suspended its operation of the molasses pipeline system at the Sand Island terminal after the incident in September 2013.

The iconic bubble-canopied Bell 47 helicopter is coming back. Scott's-Bell 47 announced yesterday at Heli-Expo that it will build new Bell 47 helicopters, dubbed the 47-GT6, powered by the Rolls-Royce RR300 engine. The aircraft will be built from scratch, not remanufactured, and will be based on the 47G-3B-2A type design, taking advantage of the 3,200-pound max gross weight with external load that model was originally designed for. Internal useful load will be 1,400 pounds and external load 1,650 pounds.
British people
British businessman and entrepreneur Lord Sugar, a 25-year veteran of business aircraft ownership, touted the benefits of aircraft at the BBGA gathering. Sugar told members that owning an aircraft had enabled him to spend one day a week in Denmark, leaving London at 6 a.m. to work an eight-hour day in his Danish office.

Online charter broker Virgin Charter stopped "active operations" on Friday according to a company statement.
Virgin Charter today announced that it has partnered with global travel management company Radius, which will use the online marketplace to find and book charter flights for its clients. The news is tempered, however, by reports that Virgin Charter has laid off a number of employees.
Despite its well-known brand name, Virgin Charter has not been immune to the economic downturn. The charter marketplace saw a drop in business last month, and particularly within the last two weeks, according to founder and CEO Scott Duffy. The reported decrease is in line with the drop in revenue reported by a majority of charter operators and brokers. Most indicate that business has dwindled by 10 to 40 percent.
In an exclusive interview with AINtv, Virgin Group founder Richard Branson and Virgin Charter founder and CEO Scott Duffy describe what brought them together to form a new online, charter-booking company.
Early next year the only non-living member of the former rock group The Beatles will have the airport in Liverpool, England, named after him. Next spring, coinciding with the opening of a new airline terminal, the airport will become Liverpool John Lennon Airport. The logo for the airport will include a Lennon self-portrait and the printed line "Above us only sky" from one of his most endearing and enduring hits, Imagine.
Signature Flight Support parent BBA Aviation sold Oxford Airport in the UK to private investment group OA Acquisitions for £40 million ($80 million) late last month. The new owner is part of the Aldersgate Investments group, controlled by multi-millionaire British real estate developers David and Simon Reuben. The brothers declined to comment on their intentions for the airport, which has been trying to attract more business aviation traffic.

Dennis Seidenberg out with lower-body injury
|01.21.13 at 12:16 pm ET
Bruins defenseman Dennis Seidenberg will not play in Monday's matinee against the Jets due to a lower-body injury, according to the team. Aaron Johnson is in the lineup in his place. The team said Seidenberg is day-to-day.
Based on pre-game warmups, Dougie Hamilton, Seidenberg's partner in the season-opener, will skate on a pairing with Zdeno Chara. The other pairings are Andrew Ference-Adam McQuaid and Johnson-Johnny Boychuk.
Claude Julien said prior to Monday's matinee that it will be Tuukka Rask in net for the B's. Rask, who inherited the No. 1 netminding job with Tim Thomas taking the year off, made 20 saves on 21 shots in the season-opening win over the Rangers Saturday.

A virtual crash course in current Southern hip-hop, 97.9 The Beat's holiday blowout rounds up an impressive array of Dixie's hustle-and-flow men (and one woman) to remind us of the real reason for the season: cash! Headliner Young Jeezy--Atlanta's 50 Cent, in more ways than one--has had quite a year, releasing his first solo record, Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101, as well as a Bad Boy-endorsed disc by his ATL posse Boyz N Da Hood. Li'l Wayne from New Orleans just issued a strong new CD called Tha Carter II which summons a more soulful spirit than much of the stuff by Wayne's Cash Money cohort. With Li'l Kim temporarily behind bars, Miami's Trina is currently the ride-or-die chick to beat. And no rap story's been bigger this year than Houston hip-hop; on Saturday, the form is repped a few hours north by scene elder Bun B as well as young major-label darlings Slim Thug and Chamillionaire.

It came down to one decision in Minneapolis: make a game winning kick which would send the Vikings to the playoffs or miss it and allow Adrian Peterson to break Eric Dickerson's single season rushing record. The Vikings and Peterson went with the previous and kicked their way past the Packers and into the NFC playoffs with a thrilling 37-34 win over the Green Bay Packers.
Adrian Peterson finishes his season 8 yards shy of Dickerson's record, but for the potential MVP of the league, the record was a bonus. He wanted to get into the playoffs and that'e exactly where the Vikings are heading.
While Peterson had an amazing game, a majority of the credit goes to embattled quarterback Christian Ponder, who stepped up in a massive way in the biggest game of his young career so far. Ponder finished the game with well over 200 yards passing and three touchdowns, but the biggest stat was that Ponder had absolutely no turnovers on the afternoon.
After a season of bi-polar reactions from fans regarding Ponder, the way he finished the year is without a doubt more than he could have asked for.
Peterson's day wasn't a total wash, as he became the 7th running back in NFL history to crack the 2,000 yard mark in a single season and had his eight game of the year where he rushed for more than 150 yards in a single game.
The Vikings have basically won the first half of an eight quarter game, as Minnesota is heading to Lambeau Field next week to take on the very same Packers in the Wild Card round.

Discouraged.... opinions please
I've been doing low carb vegetarian for 8.5 months now. I've lost about 70 lbs. My blood pressure has dropped to a good level (114/70). I feel great. I walk everyday. I still have weight to lose and it's coming off slowly.
I just got my first labs back. My total cholesterol has jumped over 100 points to 304. I don't have the numbers in front of me right now, I've kind of been in shock all day, but my LDL isn't good either. HDL is okay. Doctor wants to put me on statins, of course. I will not go that route. I know there's a lot of controversy about cholesterol but I still didn't expect my levels to change so drastically. Before I started low carb I didn't eat meat, just flour and sugar containing products and high carb vegetables.
Any thoughts, opinions or advice? Thanks.
I am sorry to hear about this and I wish I knew more about the topic. I suggest you cross-post to the Main Lobby.
You'll almost certainly recieve more help there.
Good luck.
Thanks, Marg. I did that. Hope I get more responses over there.
Hi starry. Just wanted to let you know that sometimes with a lot of weight loss, especially fast, cholesterol can jump up. Mine did but then normalized six months or so into stable wt. google and you can read all about it.
Thank you, LauraAnn. I will do that. I am trying to educate myself about cholesterol and I am learning a lot.
Does heart disease run in your family? It does in mine and I'm the last one standing. I'm no spring chick any more either, so I probably shouldn't fool around with not taking the nightly statins like I'm supposed to. :dunno:
Your 70 lb loss is awesome though :jumpjoy: and should have brought some of your readings down - if they were high to start with. Is your Dr. willing to wait for one more blood workup to see if your numbers normalize? That's what I'm waiting for. If the next lab work comes out poorly I may have to rethink the butter, egg yolks and full-fat cheeses. :( I think the olive oils, avocado's, nuts and nut butters fats are okay re cholesterol, so you (and I) should still be able to indulge in the amount of fats we need to make LC work.
Hang in there :console: - 70 lbs in such a short time span could be quite the shock to the body - it may be trying to adjust and balance itself. You and I started about the same time and I've only dropped between 15-20 lbs, and have gained back 5 in the last month (my diet has changed). I think the older we get, the less drastic we can be to our bodies without them "acting up". Mine's been a real *&#@h lately, enough to have me change my LC diet. I'm going to go whine about that problem now in another thread!!! Don't panic yet, but be watchful. Lots of hugs! :hugs:
Thanks Madge! I was really panicked about my cholesterol numbers, so much so that I decided to do a lot of reading. A lot of people on here (in the other thread I posted in the main lobby) reassured me that my numbers weren't really bad. It's more about the ratios. All of my ratios are in the ideal range so I feel much better.
I downloaded the book, The Great Cholesterol Myth: Why Lowering Your Cholesterol Won't Prevent Heart Disease and the Statin-Free Plan that Will. Believe me, if you read that book you will never take statins again. Basically, statins are not beneficial to any women and only a select group of men. Having high cholesterol in itself is not a bad thing. There are 2 kinds of LDL (the bad) cholesterol but type A LDL isn't bad at all. Most doctors don't even test you for this.
When I saw my doctor she said, "Wow, your LDL is really high! We need to talk about medication." I said I did not want to go on statins. I told her I was not worried about my cholesterol, that my ratios were good, I ate a vegetarian, low carb diet. She said, "It sounds like you know more about this than I do!" She didn't say another word.
The cholesterol book recommends 1)Eliminate sugar and processed food. Eat more salmon, nuts, beans, veggies, olive oil, berries 2)Supplements including CoQ10, magnesium, niacin, omega 3. 3) Reduce stress- play, meditate, breathe deeply.
Good luck to you and keep it up! Any weight loss is good for your heart and doing it slowly is better for keeping it off. I still have another 50 or so to go but I will make it, I know. Don't stop believing!
Starry - I'm so glad to hear you are feeling better about your cholesterol.

Acute property slump takes hold in bailed-out Cyprus: survey
NICOSIA (Reuters) - Cypriot property prices recorded one of their steepest falls in years in the second quarter, a survey showed on Tuesday, as an austerity-driven recession sapped demand in the country's once-buoyant property market.
Market sentiment on the bailed-out Mediterranean island was dampened by a worsening outlook and lack of available cash to invest in the property market, according to the survey by the Cyprus branch of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).
Cyprus struck a deal with international lenders for 10 billion euros in aid last March, but in return had to wind down an insolvent bank and impose losses on big deposits in a second. Capital controls to prevent a bank run are in place.
"Definitely the market is going to deteriorate further and faster than before. There is no lending available and people's money (in banks) is blocked," said Pavlos Loizou of RICS Cyprus, a compiler of the survey.
Second quarter annual declines - which ranged from a 12.6 percent price drop in the valuation of an apartment to a 23.3 percent fall for office space - were the sharpest recorded since RICS started collecting data in 2009, Loizou told Reuters.
Conceivably, they could be the sharpest over many years in a market not accustomed to sudden drops in valuations.
For at least a decade before 2009 Cypriot property prices were steadily growing on the back of foreign demand and liquidity-flush banks extending credit.
Over two growth cycles immediately before and after Cyprus joined the EU in 2004, property prices rose anywhere between 150 and 200 percent, Loizou said.
Boarded up shops have become commonplace in central Nicosia, the island's capital.
On Makarios Avenue, which was once a commercial hub teeming with traffic, dozens of shops stand empty, driven out by high rents and a shift in consumer preferences to other locations, including out-of-town malls.
Loizou said some interest had been displayed by overseas investors looking at retail properties.
"But at the moment they are just sniffing around," he said, adding that fellow bailout recipients Ireland and Spain had also seen interest from overseas investors looking at distressed retail properties they could pick up at advantageous prices.
Official figures on Tuesday showed Irish residential property prices have recorded their first annual rise since a property crash crippled the country's economy in 2008 - a landmark in Ireland's uneven recovery.
In Spain, whose weakest lenders were bailed out with European money, the 2008 property crash has left banks saddled with plots of land on their books worth less than many have accounted for.
(Writing By Michele Kambas; editing by Stephen Nisbet)
The plunge in real estate prices will affect the bailout. Loans must be marked down as the price of collateral decreases raising the bank's capital needs. The price tag to bail out the banks is rising, but nothing will be done about this until after German elections.

I think this is simply amazing. I loved the way you have actually drawn it and it looks really detailed. The colours actually give it a cold and gritty look, yet the pose she is standing in still makes her look like a Hero. Not much HF art around here and I would love to see more from you soon

[font="Palatino;"]I think the main issue I have with the drawing as it is now is the fact that the breast armor is ... inaccurate. I wouldn't say it's distracting by any means, but it's not really realistic if that's what you're going for there.[/font]
