There is "no Twitter marketing revolution yet" according to Paul McIntyre in The Australian Financial Review.
That's it then, we've had a few good years of Twitter while it lasted – everybody should pack up and go home.
Most people have heard Twitter described as the be-all-and-end-all media platform. But while Paul's article focused on what is not working for brands on Twitter in Australia, in reality the issues that have plagued some brands apply to other social media platforms.
For some brands, social media has generated leads, engaged consumers, built relationships and elevated their brand. But not all brands have been successful.
A perfect example of this can be found in the response to last week's Thankyou campaign. Thankyou (previously known as Thankyou Water) is petitioning Coles and Woolworths to stock a new range of food and beauty products by rallying their consumers to take social media action. Within minutes of the campaign's launch, hundreds of customers petitioned both retailers. The response on Facebook? A message from Coles that reflects their brand values.
In contrast, Woolworths shared a more formal, press-release-style statement.
Side by side the nuances may seem minor – the gist of the response is similar, it's just the tone that's different – but the data shows the impact. With a similar audience size (500,000), Coles had double the engagement rate, meaning that more people shared their post. This comparison is based on the brand's Facebook responses, and the same lessons apply to Twitter. A Twitter comparison of the two is impossible because Woolworths, one of Australia's largest brands, has chosen not to use the medium.
While Woolworth's decision may seem surprising, the number of highly publicised "Twitter fails", the lack of understanding around the medium, and the relatively limited audience (compared to Facebook) contribute to underuse, overuse and misuse of twitter by companies of all types across Australia. Common mistakes surface again and again, and even if they don't always make the news you can bet that they are damaging brand image and missing valuable opportunities.
This is common practice for brands transitioning from old media, but it's far from effective. Continuously broadcasting information and marketing about themselves, brands miss the "social" in social media.
Many users will unfollow, or hide posts from self-involved friends, let alone from brands! In social media, brands compete for space by creating compelling audience-focused content – it needs to contribute to a brand's image and objectives, but it can't smell like marketing.
The brands that broadcast almost always make a second and related mistake, limiting social media to marketing tool when it can be so much more. Customer service, research and sales have huge social media potential, but sadly most brands tend to choose one of these silos and stick to it stubbornly.
The number of brands auto-Tweeting content from other sources is thankfully on the decline, but that's only most blatant example of a continuing social media mistake – failing to cater to specific audiences. Twitter is not Facebook; the audience and interactions are very different. Listening to your audience on each platform, monitoring their interaction and engagement and creating a strategy with them in mind is key.
Perhaps the most significant mistake is the outsourcing of social media. Outsourcing often means that social media is treated as an extension of an ad campaign, and takes it away from those who know the brand best.
Obviously the real social media winner in the Thankyou story is Thankyou. themselves – and not just because Coles and Woolworths are thinking of stocking their products. Their effective use of social media shows a deep knowledge of the realm and invites meaningful participation from consumers. Even if Thankyou products don't make it into the major supermarket chains, they have connected with thousands of potential customers who will seek them out.
Coles demonstrates its brand values in its response to Thankyou's campaign.
Woolworths takes a more formal approach.
So often in social media it's these small, agile companies that lead the way, while larger organisations struggle to throw off the legacy of internal processes built for traditional advertising and PR campaigns. Leading digital strategist Chris Brogan has described the mechanical state of social media marketing as depressing. And I agree. Social media is not a channel that should be invested in as a line item next to "outdoor advertising". Social media's true value is in socialising your business to meet the needs of its customers.
But for now, have a laugh and look at Bank of America's Twitter account, which is described as a "really dumb robot".

Google is making a real push to get to grips with any tactic they see as manipulating the rankings in a way that's against their guidelines – from keyword cramming to paying for sponsored posts. Related keyphrases and keywords have a similar meaning or inference to your main keyphrases and keywords. SEO is not just one technique, if you focus on just one thing you will not get the full benefits of SEO and you risk losing everything if Google change their algorithm again. By spring 2013, Facebook and Google+ added hashtags. Strategically written website copy includes well-thought-out internal links and calls to action.
Provide value information rooted in your initial strategy and use search engine spiders as part of this
One of the strongest signals the engines use in rankings is anchor text. If dozens of links point to a page with the right keywords, that page has a very good probability of ranking well for the targeted phrase in that anchor text. Now, when you have a shop with a proper name and probably the product image on it, this would attract so many people off the street, and they would ask for what you sell, and some of these customers would tell other potential targets about their buying experience and about your products and your shops. Google has stated on the record that page loading speed is an SEO ranking signal. You can boost your site speed by using a CDN, compressing images, and switching to faster hosting. A Google study showed that more than 80% of users search stores and local service providers online before visiting them. This fact makes it important to optimize your website for the local search. The online visit is a basis for more customers and more sales. Optimization is important, but without metrics, you'll never really know whether your efforts are paying off. But if you track and measure from the beginning, you can continually improve.
This story about non reciprocal links will haunt you forever
Google uses a complex algorithm, so no organic placement can be guaranteed, but SEO provides tactics for improving your chances of ranking higher.There are in fact hundreds of ranking factors (besides SEO) that search engines like Google use for their algorithms, and to add another level of frustration these ranking factors are not published. Usually, companies do not understand the importance of a newsletter. If it is used properly, the benefits can be great. Publishing a newsletter will increase attention and awareness of your readers or clients. With quality and interesting content, you increase the probability of sharing it, thereby increasing traffic and the number of backlinks. Page content refers to all the information contained in a website. Page content can be displayed as text, links, images, audio, animation or videos among other things. How to fix Google penalties. Does your website feature evergreen content, or are all your posts short-lived? Search engines no longer value pages filled with targeted keywords.
Write a 1000+ words article about authority sites
Gaz Hall, a SEO Expert from the UK, said: "There are many different kinds of images which can complement your written content." This, like pay-per-click, can be expensive and may not benefit your website as much as you might expect. So what type of website would get the highest quality ranking? According to Google, the highest quality websites have a super high-demonstrated expertise, talent, authoritativeness, or trustworthiness on the topic. Competitor analysis is nothing new, and companies have been researching their competitor's links for years. However, by looking at the competitor's backlinks and manually reviewing which links are worth having, you can then perform a link outreach and try to get a link from the same referring site. After crawling your site and collecting every bit of information possible, search engines index and organize their findings in databases (think of these as massive file folders). All of these databases make up what's called The Index.
Layout, formatting and scraping combine to make great SEO
In simple words, International SEO is the effort of localisation of your content and website in order to attract relevant local visitors in the countries you are entering. As Google's preferred configuration for mobile-optimized websites, responsive design is your best option for delivering a great search and browsing experience to mobile users. The majority of time spent online now comes from mobile devices, at 51% compared to 42% on a desktop. Few people bookmark or even save links to sites they visit, but simply trust they will be able to find them again once they return to Google. Does the website that is linking back to your website relate to your business? Make sure there is a strong relevance when acquiring backlinks.
Things that make you love and hate URLs
At the end of the day, consumers want to feel like they're always interacting with something natural and real - that goes without saying in SEO Beverley. The search engines focus on quality content, with articles that are longer than 2,000 words often being featured on page one. With that in mind, it's worth scheduling some long-form posts into your content calendar. If you're not blessed with excellent writing skills, outsource this job to somebody who is. With 75 percent of companies currently increasing their content marketing budget, it's apparent that content can no longer be treated as a part-time job. Outsourcing content creation to dedicated writers allows for consistent, high quality publishing, fresh perspectives, insight into best practices and better leveraging of resources. Since Google only wants to deliver the best possible results to its users, it will push sites with strong engagement up in the search engine results pages (SERPs). The key to boosting visibility and SEO is staying active.

DPIAs – protecting data at the design stage
Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) are now mandatory in most cases under GDPR when designing or modifying a process that involves Personal Identifiable Information (PII).
DPIAs are now a crucial process for demonstrating to the Supervisory Body (the ICO for the UK) that an organisation has done everything it can to ensure that data is being processed in accordance with Law.
New innovative products or processes often consider the security of personal data as an after thought, launching their product as early as possible to prove their concept and to generate revenue as soon as possible.
DPIAs will help ensure that consideration has been given within new or modified processes carrying high risks to the rights and freedoms of data subjects. This will help minimise or prevent data breaches and unlawful processing. This is often referred to as Privacy by Design and Default and will be a useful tool for putting adequate controls in place at the planning stage and then reviewing these regularly afterwards.
DPIA -what does it involve?
The ICO has a Privacy Impact Assessment guidance which provide templates that help to take you through the steps in line with the methodology for DPIAs for GDPR.
The first step is to identify the need for a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), what the projects aims to achieve, the objectives and who the stakeholders are. Importantly it needs to identify what personal information is being collected and why and the quantity of information required.
A data mapping exercise should follow to identify the information flows, showing a lifecycle of what data is to be collected, what it is used for, where will it be stored, any third parties it will be transferred to, the deletion policy etc.
The next step is to identify any risks to the privacy of that data and the impact on the data subject. This will then lead to identifying and proposing any measures that can mitigate these risks. A list of security measures could include physical restrictions, defined processes and technical controls.
These measures need to be approved by the stakeholders to assess that the solutions address the risks adequately. The outcomes then should be recorded before they are implemented into the process.
There is a Code of Practice document available on the ICO's website which will help you understand the process and how this links to the principles.
This is a really useful tool to implement at the planning stage for all new processes and will ensure that you are making Privacy by Design and Default part of your organisation's objectives.

The central thesis of Bill O'Reilly Versus The Truth is that Bill O'Reilly misleads the public by representing himself as a non-partisan, when in fact he is a right-wing political partisan who supports the Republican Party and does everything within his power to vilify Democrats and discredit the Democratic Party.pThe book analyses quotes, statistics, and arguments taken from O'Reilly's television shows, his books, and his articles, and systematically details the inherent bias that is built into most of O'Reilly's presentations. It covers a wide range of subjects and issues, ranging from domestic politics, to religion, to international affairs.pBill O'Reilly Versus The Truth is NOT a personal attack on Bill O'Reilly; it is a very substantive thesis on the journalistic work of Bill O'Reilly, and a comprehensive analysis of his methods and techniques. It is informative, as well as entertaining.

I forgot how much I like this song.
The first time I heard this band, I was 22 years old and sitting in the first apartment I ever lived in alone. My friend hovered over my laptop, saying "you have to hear this new band I'm going to manage". He played me a terribly low quality mp3 on my old laptop, and then played me some Job for A Cowboy for the first time.
As a recent music graduate, and therefore huge snob, my reaction was hysterical laughter to the JFAC, and a raised eyebrow to SS.
Flash forward a few months, they were signed and I was developing their first offical website, and getting sick of hearing "Ending is the Beginning", because it would auto play every time I tested the homepage.
At the time, I remember thinking that while I could get into the music, there was no way this band could possibly appeal to a large audience.
It is now 6 years later. I was pretty wrong.
I don't really listen to Suicide Silence on a regular basis anymore. I used to see them live A LOT (I'm willing to bet I was floating around somewhere at this show). I always favored their live show over listening to the albums – the energy was always the best at shows!
Today "No Pity For a Coward" came on to my Pandora playlist while I was running (yes, you read that right…"running"), and it helped me keep moving.
I'm a person who has always hated working out. I have done it, because I know it is important to staying healthy and honestly, I'm terrified of becoming fat, but I usually go a month and then get lazy.
With my dog and with this new view I have on my life and becoming "Christina version 2.0" or whatever you want to call it, I have been able to stick to a pretty regimented work out routine, and I even look forward to my daily running/yoga session.
I would not been able to do this without loud music. The driving rhythms and agression helps to push me forward, especially on days like today when it is overcast and I am extra sleepy!
I love and appreciate the fact that I can, at 28 years old, still put my headphones on and escape from everything, and have time to myself. 🙂

My time at the Mozilla Drumbeat Festival is a three-part story about the supportive open-source community, the passion for free learning, and opportunities for change in the midst of extreme personal loss.
Part 1: Let's All Play Together! Wednesday was opening night and I set up my examples from Switch Craft at the Science Fair and demonstrated how to make them. The participants, who were drawn in by the lights of Shiny Clutch, were inquisitive and encouraging. Each question of how and why was followed by a statement of confirmation that we do indeed need more women in technology who love fashion or they'd say "where was this when I was younger?"
About an hour in, it died down and people went inside to hear Joi Ito, and I went for the free snacks and wine. It was there, I made a friend. His name is Massimo, and he is one of the creators of Arduino. If you don't know it already, Arduino is an open-source hardware platform that is used around the world by artists, designers, architects, teachers, scholars, and just about anyone who wants to create an experience with the physical world. He's famous among the DIYers such as myself, though admittedly I did not recognize him and one of his entourage was kind enough to remind me.
We talked and the Arduino crew was very complimentary and supportive. I was honored to talk to them as this is a community I haven't been a part of in awhile because it involves programming and hardware wiring which are a level two for my readers. I tend to stick with level 1. At least I did, but after hanging with Massimo, I think I am ready to graduate Switch readers to another level of learning. I learned that the Arduino platform was created in Italy in a creative design program at the Interaction Design Institute Ivrea. I had known about this school years ago, but it was shut down in 2005 for no apparent reason, just as it was gaining success.
Here is a little video of the opening night, with Massimo starting it off.
He smiled as I explained my passion to get fashion designers, craftsman, and artists into creating with technology. Then he gave cute purple Arduino pin with a heart on it and pointed at one of my pins and said, "I'll trade you one of mine for yours. I really like what you are doing here, please feel free to come and hang out with us in the hacker space tomorrow." I said, "yes," of course. His smile made me smile, and that is how friendships are born.
The next day was spent in the hacker space where Massimo and his group taught the basics of the Arduino, then prepared the class for creating a robot the next day. Time passed quickly and I didn't realize that I was missing the rest of the festival. But, apparently, it was a roadhouse of activity with ideas and conversations on free education, open software platforms, and cool art projects. Eventually, I wondered into the main hall and found people from all over the world huddled in chairs around two or three people talking. Everyone was invited to participate or contribute to the conversation. You could tell this was a space where people with similar passions were driven to discussion. They were seizing the day and discussing ideas such as One Laptop Per Child, Wikimedida in Classrooms, and Hastac presented a platform that allows teachers/lecturers to get instant feedback from students on the value of the content from the speaker. I wasn't so keen in this idea because sometimes crowds are just moody even if it's a good talk and crowds of kids making snap judgments on the topic just didn't sit well with me.

« Initiative Enlists Parents to be Data Consumers | Main | Show Enlists Communities in 'Extreme Makeover' for Schools »
As Ranks of Homeless Pupils Grow, Communities Provide Aid
At least 150 K-12 students in the San Angelo, Texas, Independent School District go "home" each night to the Salvation Army's Red Shield Lodge, a shabby nearby motel, or sleep on the floor next to parents living with a friend or relative. By day, they more or less blend in, taking math and English together with other children.
They are among approximately 1 million homeless schoolchildren in America, a number that has risen with the economic hard times of the last few years but that is difficult to pinpoint. For these children, school is a lifeline, and that lifeline would not be there without partnerships involving school systems, the federal government, and community charities and volunteers.
"That is something that's definitely been eye-opening to me. We're not just talking about people living on the streets," Tony Priest, a regional liaison for the Education Service Center for San Angelo, told a local newspaper this week. "I think we're looking, with the economy, at an increase in this population. This can happen to anybody. People can lose their jobs and are not finding other jobs."
While schools provide federally funded free breakfasts and lunches, clothing, and services under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act and Title I, they are aided by partners in the community such as the Salvation Army and the Concho Valley Homeless Planning Coalition in San Angelo. Health, food, and shelter services are a major part of what coalition members—which include churches and clinics—help school district social service workers provide to homeless families.
However, given the stigma attached to homelessness and the difficulty of even identifying homeless schoolchildren—since many move with parents from one temporary residence to another—the primary task is to determine who is homeless and alert them to services that they can receive. As Connie Myers, chairman of the coalition, said: "They don't want to tell anybody. They have to face the mountain, and the mountain is admitting you have a problem and seeking help."
Resources for, and information about, homeless schoolchildren can be found through the National Center for Homeless Education at the University of North Carolina's SERVE Center.

Then get back to it …
I can hear you now … more stuff about email marketing? Really?
The answer is yes, really! Despite a few naysayers here and there, statistics show email marketing is very much alive and well, and STILL one of the most effective marketing tactics.
Unfortunately, many business owners get so caught up in social media (still a very important component of a good marketing plan!) they slack off or completely forget about the importance of email marketing. Simply put, (according to Wikipedia), "Email marketing is directly marketing a commercial message to a group of people using email. In its broadest sense, every email sent to a potential or current customer could be considered email marketing."
It can be as simple as sending out an ezine (electronic newsletter) on a consistent basis or sending out an email broadcast of interest to those on your list on a regular basis, or both, or more. Whatever you choose to send to those on your list, it's just another means of staying in touch … a way of staying in the forefront of the minds of your clients, your prospects and whomever else has signed up to be on your mailing list. The fact that they signed up for your list in the first place is an indication they want to hear from you, so give them what they want!Email Marketing can be as simple as sending out an ezine or broadcast to those on your list on a regular basis.
There are many systems and services available to incorporate email marketing into your marketing strategy. There are MailerLite, MailChimp, Infusionsoft or Keap, iContact, ConvertKit, Constant Contact … and a host of other service providers that are made specifically for this purpose. Which platform you choose will depend on whether or not you need an all-in-one system that includes a shopping cart or a system that does only email marketing, the specific features offered by each system, and the cost. For someone needing a simple, efficient AND cost effective system, MailerLite is the bomb when it comes to email marketing platforms. If you need something with a shopping cart, affiliate program and a gazillion bells and whistles to create complex funnels and systems, AND cost is not a big factor, Infusionsoft is a really great system too. The others (in my opinion) fall in between.
Whatever system you choose though, and whatever you decide to include in your marketing strategy, you need to do something.
If your email marketing efforts have become lackluster or non-existent, or have never even been in existence, we can help you change that NOW!
Contact us for a complimentary 30 minute consult to find out how we can help you get back in touch with those on your list, or get you started if you don't already have one. We can help you figure out the whats and hows, whens and whys of a great email marketing strategy to get you back out in front of your clients and prospects!

It's a presidential election year here in the US! Which means it's party time. For me, anyway.
Elections are my Super Bowl; when the debates and conventions take over prime time television, I whip out the junk food, plant myself on the couch, get pulled into the drama, and stay up late at night to watch the "post-game" analysis. I'm one step away from wearing a jersey and some face paint.
This is bad news for my husband, Brian. Because when the only thing more powerful than a man's video game addiction is his wife's addiction to coverage of presidential elections, he begins wishing there were a second TV in the house.
Brian knows that following the election with me is stressful. It means he must listen to speeches from the presidential candidate and political party we will NOT be voting for this November– an activity which tends to send his blood pressure through the roof. Despite my concern for his health, I don't fast forward through those speeches. I watch them from start to finish, rewind the important parts, and hit "pause" to discuss each major point.
See, ever since I began researching and advocating for Peace & Justice last year, I've been making a concerted effort to immerse myself in subcultures that hold seemingly opposite views to mine. It's taught me 4 very important lessons:
- Your "opponents" are not as awful and foolish as you think they are.
- The stereotypes you believe about your opponents are just as unfair as the stereotypes they believe about you.
- The other team actually has some good ideas.
- It's wise to blend their best ideas with your best ideas.
It's easy to only seek out information that affirms your existing beliefs. But it's brave to acknowledge that you don't know the whole truth. And it's even braver to step out of your comfort zone to find it.
So for me, following politics holds great potential for personal growth. And that's a compelling reason to keep the TV on, even as my husband shakes and convulses from video game withdrawal.
Following politics, however, is not always easy. A frustrated friend on Facebook posted the following status update: Political ads are giving me a headache. I'm finally going to be able to vote in the presidential elections this November and I don't know who to vote for. Who's lying…who's not…or who's lesser of the 2 evils…. Grrrr!
All I can tell my friend is that both sides are lying a little (mostly by omission) for the sake of winning more votes. Half-truths make great sounding speeches because they appeal to our emotions and our biases, not logic.
So it's your job to hear all sides (including the ones that challenge your existing ideas), and to find the missing pieces of all those half-truths. Listen with a critical ear to all the carefully crafted speeches and biased media outlets, and do your own research. Oh, and if you really want to get fancy, learn about the psychology of your political biases. Do this and your vote will be cast wisely.
Truth starts at the intersection of everyone's needs and opinions. Political balls are about having the patience and humility to listen.

Chapter 7 - Holding On
Collin heard the sound of the large front door closing as it echoed throughout the house. Emily was home. Glad that his sister was back, he pushed the sheets off and got out of bed. He walked down the hallway and headed to her room to see if she was alright. She was face down on her bed, shoes still on, her body half off the bed, already asleep out of exhaustion. Collin gave her a quick once over and saw her right upper arm covered in crusting blood. Adrenaline rushed through him as he hurried checked the wound. He calmed down and breathed a sigh of relief seeing that it was already healing. He looked at her and smiled, moving to her feet to remove her shoes. He then headed towards the bathroom to get a towel and clean the blood from her arm. As he wrung the excess water from the towel he looked up into the mirror, sensing that he wasn't alone in the room. But there was no one there. He took a deep breath, letting it out slowly as he cursed himself softly at being so jumpy. Then he heard the slightest of cackles behind him.
"We're a little jumpy today, aren't we?"
Collin looked up again at the mirror and strained to see around the dimly lit room but saw no one.
"You sure are making me laugh today. Can't really have a reflection in my current state. Thought all you Watcher blokes knew that."
He quickly turned around and saw platinum blond hair, blue eyes and a cocky grin staring right back at him. Collin took a few steps back in surprise, almost hitting the sink.
"You're uhm…. You're", Collin stuttered.
"Bullocks! I swear for a Watcher I'd thought you'd be used to these things."
Collin could only shake his head in disbelief. He was definitely going insane now if he was seeing… he stopped himself before thinking it. He didn't even want to justify what he thought with a name. Seemingly able to read what was on his mind, Spike gave him a mockingly hurtful look. "Now now, you're the one that's been calling me, pet. Go ahead say my name. Think of it as some form of bloody release and if you must know you're not bloody insane. Well, maybe just a little." he said with a toothy grin.
"Assuming you are real, how did you get in, no one invited you."
"And why in the world would I need an invitation for my own house?"
Collin looked at him with a confused look. Shaking his head, Spike looked around the bathroom then quickly stepped outside back into Emily's bedroom. He stopped a few feet from the bed, quietly watching the fledgling Slayer sleeping peacefully. Collin quickly followed him and protectively pushed his way between his sister and the vampire. "Don't you even dare!", he said crossly under his breath. Spike could only roll his eyes in amusement.
"Slayer blood does do wonders", he said playfully licking his lips. He pushed Collin out of the way, and moved closer to the sleeping Slayer. He gently stroked her head, his fingers playing with her hair.
Collin pulled Spike away from her sister, giving him a deadly glare. Spike just chuckled, stuck his hands in the pockets of his duster and headed out the room towards the stairs. Not wanting to lose sight of him, Collin quickly followed and hurried down the stairs. He found Spike in the receiving room staring at the portrait of the woman. There was a somewhat sad smile on his lips as he reached up and traced the woman's visage with his fingers. Collin watched him from a distance, unsure of what to do. For more than a year, he had been searching for anything and everything about William the Bloody and here he was in front of him but no questions would come to mind. He bore a multitude of emotions against him – fear, hatred, confusion, yearning yet the only thing he could feel now was strangely enough comfort.
"Is she happy?", Spike said breaking the silence.
"Is she, Buffy, happy." Spike said again.
"Happy? I guess. Seems like she enjoys working with the kids. But…"
"But?" Spike said turning around to face him.
"I think she misses you. I don't know. I'm not a bloody therapist but I've caught her almost calling me by your name."
"I'm just so unforgettable, mate."
Collin responded him with a smirk. "Unforgettable my arse. I have your bloody face."
"I knew there was something about you I liked." Spike said flashing him a toothy grin.
"It hasn't exactly been a party you know. You're damn memories running on playback every night. Would be bloody nice of you if you'd take them back or at the very least enlighten me as to why I have them."
But Spike wouldn't give him an answer. He just shrugged his shoulders then turned around to stare at the painting again. Minutes seemed to pass as the vampire took in the painting of the blond haired woman before him. "How long do you stare at her?", he said finally breaking the silence.
"Uhm… well", Collin didn't know what to say. He was a little embarrassed to tell him the truth.
"Come on. You can't tell me that you don't spend hours on end looking at her. I would, heck I could stand outside her window and wait all night just for a chance to see her. Man, I sound like a ponce."
But Collin knew that Spike was right. He had looked upon that face ever since he was a boy and had fallen for her. And now the situation wasn't really any easier. But at least he could see her, hear her, watch her. He wished he could hold her in his arms, but that hasn't happened again since that night when they danced.
"You love her too." Spike declared " I can tell. But you haven't done a thing about it have you? You just watch her from afar… watch her and wonder … you're pathetic! So are you going to spend the rest of your life doing that. Staring at this painting and pinning over her? Guess what? I've been there… I've done that and it ain't a bloody picnic. But that's it isn't it?" Spike said as he calmly made his way to where Collin was standing. "You like holding on to pain. You like to wallow in it, because it makes you feel. For someone with as much talk as wanting freedom from his life, you sure hold on to suffering. Just like that kiss mark you wear like a bloody cross." Spike reached out to expose the vampire bite.
Instinctively Collin stepped away from him and pulled his shirt opening closer together to hide his secret.
Spike gave Collin a look of disappointment. "You're getting boring and I'm getting hungry! Let's play." And with that, eyes turned from blue to yellow as the demon came forth and lunged at Collin with a menacing growl.
Collin stepped back, but couldn't find his footing and fell back with a thud. His arm instinctively went up to defend himself but there was no one else there. He looked up trying to figure out where he was because the room didn't look like the receiving room. Books lined the walls and a large chair was to his right, still rocking as if someone had just been on it. He picked himself up and slowly let out a long sigh. It was just a dream. He ran his fingers through his hair, trying to put his curly locks back in place. He sat back down on the chair he obviously fell from when he dozed and looked at the book that was laid out on the table. It was a journal, the pages yellowing and the ink no longer black. He stared at the page that was open to find a rough sketch of a woman. Her shoulder length hair looked like it was being blown by the wind but what was strange about it was that she wore men's clothing and held a wooden stake in her right hand. His eyes scanned the page for a date and found it. It said January 20, 1882.

USMNT analysis
Lima, Mihailovic, and Bradley stand out in 3-0 win over Panama
The USMNT defeated Pamama in the first game of the Gregg Berhalter-era. With all of the players starting off with a clean slate, Brian Sciaretta issues player ratings for the team's first test under its new coach.
BY Brian Sciaretta PostedTHE UNITED STATES opened the Gregg Berhalter era with a comfortable 3-0 win over an inexperienced Panama team. It's always misleading to read too much into January camp friendlies but few players hurt their chances and it should give some momentum heading into Saturday's friendly against Costa Rica.
January 27, 2019
January 27, 2019
The goal scorers were Djordje Mhailovic, Walker Zimmerman, and Christian Ramirez with Corey Baird, Nick Lima, and Jonathan Lewis providing the assists.
January Camp friendlies are typically of poor quality given most of the players are in preseason and the opponents are also limited due to it not taking place on FIFA international dates. But in the past, several key players have emerged and tonight was a confidence boost, despite the opponent.
Here is how the players performed.
The Starting Lineup
Zack Steffen: After a quiet first half, Steffen had a big save in the 56th minute for his best moment of the game. But the new Manchester City signing looked dependable and in form. Rating: 6.5
Daniel Lovitz: The left back from Pennsylvania was a little shaky at the start but adjusted and had a good game. It is welcome news because he plays a position where the U.S. team is short on options. He set up Zardes in the first half with a wonderful ball into the box and made a really nice tackle in the box in the 84th minute. Overall, he walked away with a fine outing. Rating. 6.0
Aaron Long: Wearing the captain's armband, Long was solid even if he wasn't tested all that much. He certainly did not hurt his chances of having a potentially big role on the team moving forward. Rating: 6.0
Walker Zimmerman: The LAFC central defender did what he does best when he headed home a Nick Lima cross to give the U.S. team a 2-0 lead. He is a total beast in the air. Central defense is competitive at the moment and Zimmerman does offer very good aerial ability. Rating: 6.5
Nick Lima: The San Jose right back was the man of the match as he was very solid on both sides of the ball. He was instrumental in the build-up to the opening goal and made the second goal with a great tackle and a perfect cross. Rating: 7.5 and man of the match. Rating: 7.5 and MOTM
Michael Bradley: Not wearing the armband, eyes were off Bradley to some extent. But with all the debate over his role on the team moving forward, he played very well in this game. He wasn't part of any goal but his passing was deadly accurate and he was looking forward to keep the ball in the attack. Rating: 7.5
Christian Roldan: The Seattle Sounders midfielder was active and while he did not score or assist, his movement was very disruptive for Panama and he created space for others. It was a good outing for Roldan. Rating: 7.0
Djordje Mihailovic: The Chicago Fire attacking midfielder had a strong January camp and was rewarded with start in his international debut. He grew into the game in the first half and was rewarded with a goal. He was fortunate on the deflection but the run was well taken. He is a raw but you can see the upside. Rating: 7.0
Corey Baird: The MLS Rookie of the Year had a nice start in his international career with an assist on Mihailovic's goal. But he was overall dangerous in the first half and made a favorable impression. Yes, he had a few turnovers but he looked prepared for the opportunity. Rating: 6.0
Gyasi Zardes: It wasn't a good outing for Zardes but Columbus Crew forward did some little things well. He nearly laid the ball off for two assists on shots that went just wide (first for Mihailovic and second for Lima). But overall he missed too many golden chances. The most glaring came on a perfect cross from Ebobisse in the opening minutes and then minutes later on a pass from Lovitz. Missed another big chance in the 66th minute when he moved into the box with a clean shot that was hit directly at the goalkeeper. Overall, he wasn't dynamic breaking down Panama's defense. Rating: 4.5
Jeremy Ebobisse: Normally a center forward, Ebobisse got the start out wing. He should have had an assist in the opening minutes when his cross was very well delivered but a wide-open Zardes sent over the bar. For playing out of position, he did relatively well. He wasn't explosive with the ball but his passing was effective. Rating: 5.5
Sebastian Lletget: The Galaxy midfielder replaced Mihailovic in the 62d minute and was a spark off the bench and generally did a good job keeping Panama on its back foot. Rating: 5.5
Jonathan Lewis: the Olympic eligible Lewis replaced Jeremy Ebobisse in the 67th minute and was always looking to take defenders on. He was rewarded on a fine assist on the final goal to set up Ramirez for a tap in. The NYCFC man impressed and could play a role on the upcoming U-23 team. Rating: 6.5
Sean Johnson: The NYCFC goalkeeper came on in the 74th minute but wasn't asked to do much of anything. Rating: No Rating
Paul Arriola: Replaced Corey Baird in the 75th and did make much of an impact on the game. Rating: No rating.
Christian Ramirez: The LAFC had a dream debut where he was able to get into a great position for a tap-in on Lewis' assist. Rating: 6.0
Wil Trapp: The Columbus captain made a cameo at the end but did play a big role. Rating: No rating.

goodbye, dad. i cannot fathom the fact that i will not see you again here on earth. never again. how does someone live their life after death? my poor mother.
it was what i feared. i was awoken by my phone ringing at 1:56 am this morning. "mom's cell," the phone lit up. i knew what she was about to say. the words a mother never wants to tell her children. he passed away. and with that my life has changed drastically. i will never see him again. how could i sleep after that? i lay there in bed trying to think of every memory i have of him. praise GOD there are too many to count. the few photos i have of him, shown above, do not pale in comparison to the amount of memories i have of this kind, quiet, humble man. a true servant of Christ.
he's gone.
goodbye, dad. i know i will see you again.

"If you were to ask the poet what this poem meant, you'd likely get a look of contempt. A slightly uncomfortable silence was apt to emanate from the rest.

eBay - He dances, he sings, he cooks, and even cleans! He's the ever so wonderful, ever so eventful Michael Jackson. And he's up for auction on eBay!
This was the obnoxious jingle heared by millions of ebay addicts all over the world this morning, as they logged onto ebay. To the amazement of eBay, people actually want to buy Mr Jackson.
Ebay told TheSpoof.com that because of the large amount of bids coming in, the highest bidder will not only get to keep Jacko, but will get a Jackson tea and cabbage patch set completely free!
So far, the highest bidder for Mr Jackson has been the president of the United States, George W, Bush with $100,000,000. Some TheSpoof.com writers have voiced their outrage and are now refusing to pay tax, as they now know where all their money goes.
When interviewed by TheSpoof.com, Bush expressed his excitement concerning the arrival of his latest purchase. I just cant wait! hollered Bush when the interview was over. Some people are wondering just what the president cant wait for. This query is yet to be answered.
There have also been speculations that Mr Bush rigged the auction to ensure that he would be the highest bidder. This claim is presently being looked into by the authorities.

Treasury Department Circular to the Collectors of the Customs, 19 June 1794
Treasury Department Circular
to the Collectors of the Customs
Treasury Department
June 19th 1794
I have concluded to request that all repairs necessary for keeping the Revenue Cutter in about the same condition in which it was originally fitted may henceforth be directed by you, without special reference to the Treasury.
In giving this instruction however, I must particularly recommend to guard against what may be deemed an habitual disposition in masters of Vessels, to extend equipments and expences beyond what is really necessary.
It is my wish that you will endeavour to ascertain with precission, at what rate per ration, a comfortable supply for the seamen of the Cutter can be effected. To this end a careful inquiry of some œconomical and prudent Ship Owners; as to the manner in which Seamen in merchant vessels are supplied may be a useful guide as from it the average expence may be reduced to a rate per day—and what that rate shall be found to be, must be allowed.1
This instruction though made circular is however not to interfere with any contract which may now exist and whereby the Cutter under your agency is comfortably and reasonably supplied.
With great consideration I am sir your obedient servant

Keeping Your Home Safe From Termites
1. Don't have gardens from the residence.
This is an error of monumental proportions. Worst case scenario is that the dirt from the garden bed is built up above the weep-holes; giving the termites a straight shot through the brick course, and to the timber inside. Termites are also attracted to dirt and moisture that's frequently present. Wildlife also love gardens, if you encounter any pesky animals contact Fort Lauderdale FL Squirrel Removal.
2. Make certain that there are no water leaks.
As I mentioned previously, termites are drawn to water. Humidity is vital to keep their workings liveable, as they simply have a soft cuticle (believe shell) and may dry out quickly. Termites will find any water supply to keep living, and if there's a leak inside your house (shower recess, faucet, drain pipe ) it will carry tannins in the wood into the soil. You might also put up a "food this way" sign.
This refers to some moisture accumulating under, or against the outside of your house. Simple things such as a hot water system overflow, or air-conditioner pipe emptied against the wall exterior is enough of an attractant to draw termites in your residence. Poor ventilation, particularly in sub-floor locations, raises the warmth; which termites love. If it smells musty, chances are you will have to acquire more air moving through the area.
4. Beware of stored goods; especially wood.
Having matters sitting against, or leaning on, the wall exterior can cause disaster. At best it will obscure the view of the wall so you can not observe a termite lead going into the home. At worst, it will provide a "bridge" or "runway" for termites to utilize to gain entrance. Timber is especially bad, as it also brings the termites, prior to providing access to this house. Even if it isn't right next to the house, it should be piled up on some bricks (or other termite resistant substance) so it does not supply the entree for the termites.
5. Be cautious making additions.
Too often we visit a DIY renovation where untreated timber was placed directly into the floor, and attached to the primary structure. The main offenders are patio's that were constructed in, or high set houses that were built under. Most operators are more than happy to advise or estimate on termite protection free of charge. Even unprotected timber sitting on concrete or brick can let termites directly in.
6. Check your yard regularly.
If you get a quick poke around any trees, stumps or wood, and you know what a termite looks like, you might find an early warning. If you do find anything, the best choice would be to phone a termite specialist. The risk you run by handling yourself is you can have the ability to kill the termites in that certain area, although anything available to the public will transfer back to the primary colony. You may wind up scaring them from their current food source, and in your house.
7. Keep a watch out for the timber in your house.
Any imperfections in the wood parts of your house can be a sign of termites. When you poke it, your finger will proceed through! Be mindful of these descriptors, and you may catch them early. Again, I'm being commercial, but there's not any true way to get them out, and maintain them out on your own that I am aware of. In the time of writing, all the DIY solutions I have seen are hit and miss at best, and charlatanry in worst.
8. Receive the best builder you can afford.
Termite protection comes standard with any new home at the time of writing. This can be a physical barrier, a chemical barrier or both. These products can work fantastically, as long as they're installed correctly. We have seen these products breached though; normally in corners of the house or in the garage. Some contractors just want the piece of paper saying the work was done. You can insist on a termite company you know has a high standard of work to perform your termite protection, which may alleviate any dramas. Even if a brand new house has a steel framework, termites may and do still damage large amounts of timber inside.
9. Get normal inspections.
Here is the commercial part you've been waiting for! Truthfully, having termite inspections on an annual basis will negate a good deal of stress. We search for all of the factors conducive to termite attack previously, and more, as well as checking for termites themselves. We have expensive high tech equipment like thermal camera, and radar detection gear, and a good deal of real world expertise. Even in the event that you have termite protection installed, it still pays to have a review every year, to make sure something hasn't compromised it, along with the warranty of said security is often conditional upon it.
10. Have termite protection .
Again, it's commercial, but it is an essential part in keeping out termites. If you have a home built before 2002 in Queensland, chances are that you won't possess some termite protection installed during building. An average home prices around $2000 to shield utilizing a great, non-repellant solution, in the time of writing. This will change, but when its much greater than that, get more quotations.

Billie Lourd misses Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds' memorial service
Daughter of 'Star Wars' actress recently took ownership of her dog Gary
Carrie Fisher's daughter Billie Lourd did not attend a public memorial service for her mother or grandmother Debbie Reynolds on Saturday (March 25).
The public service for the late pair was held at Hollywood's Forest Lawn Memorial Park in LA. Proceedings included performances by James Blunt (who was a close personal friend of Fisher) and the Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles.
But Lourd opted not to attend, instead joining her father, Bryan Lourd, and boyfriend Taylor Lautner for dinner at Catch instead, according to the New York Post's Page Six column.
Reynolds' son and Fisher's brother Todd, who organised the service, told the congregation that "it was better later than never" to remember the much-loved pair publicly.
"[The service] is a show and not a memorial, because my mother didn't like memorials and funerals," Fisher told attendees. "You are all [their] people — not just [their] extended family, but [their] close friends and fans.
"There were no finer people that I had ever known than my mother and my sister."
The Star Wars actress passed away on December 27 from the effects of a cardiac arrest she suffered on a flight from London to LA. Fisher's mother Reynolds, who starred in such classics as Singin' In The Rain, suffered a "severe" stroke a day after her daughter's passing, and died on December 28.
A private memorial for the mother and daughter was held back in January in Coldwater Canyon, LA, with George Lucas, Meryl Streep and Gwyneth Paltrow among the mourners.
Lourd confirmed her mother's death in December and later took care of her dog Gary.
A statement at the time read: "It is with a very deep sadness that Billie Lourd confirms that her beloved mother Carrie Fisher passed away at 8:55 this morning. She was loved by the world and she will be missed profoundly. Our entire family thanks you for your thoughts and prayers."

DNAinfo reports that the New York Police Department is gearing up to face "a police scandal the likes of which the city has not felt in decades," which could very well be a huge overreaction, but still sounds thrilling. The reality is far less exhilarating than it first seems, but still might reverberate, as "thousands of hours of recorded conversations" show cops fixing tickets, with at least 10 officers slated to be arrested in a few weeks following a grand jury probe, one that's been simmering for a while now. At least 24 cops are being kept from retiring until the investigation is over, according to today's report, with some left "trembling that their entire careers and pensions could be lost."
Details of the investigation are still vague, but will likely include criminal charges of bribery and perjury, and might hit hundreds of cops by the end for "violating various department rules — raining from fudging reports and tampering with official records to failing to take action to stop fellow cops from fixing tickets." The fixes were mostly done in the name of friends or family, predictably, but the Bronx D.A.'s office is after them all anyway.
DNAinfo insists that the case could include the federal government if it's proven that "this is a systematic problem," but the full scope of the scandal won't be known until the Bronx prosecutors finish their push. In the meantime, the NYPD has already instituted an electronic system that makes it harder to toss a ticket.
And when the other shoe(s) start to drop on this scandal, keep an eye on your Post and Daily News covers every morning, because they're doubtlessly salivating already.

Lafayette Theater
600 Main Street,
4 people favorited this theater
The Fourth Avenue Amusement Company opened the Lafayette Theater on September 1, 1938 with Errol Flynn in "Four's a Crowd". It operated until September 1, 1990. It then became a downtown empty eyesore.
A complete historical renovation went ahead in 2003-2006 and a restaurant/bar, classic movie theater re-opened from what could have well become a parking lot. It has now dropped movies and operates as a live performance/concerts and special events venue.

I think I may have gone to this theater once when on vacation in Indiana when I was a teenager. We saw Friday the 13th #3 in 3D. It was a very old theater. There was a candy store nearby. All old downtown types of shops in the area, but beginning to become empty storefronts at that time. Does anyone know if this is the same theater I'm referring to?
The Lafayette Theater and the Mars were both in downtown Lafayette about a block or so apart. Across from the Lafayette theater was/is the McCord Candy store. The Lafayette sits on a corner and is just a bit smaller than the old Mars (now the Long Center for the Performing Arts).
The Lafayette Theatre was built on the site of the old Family Theater, which had been a 1906 remodeling of First Presbyterian Church (built 1853). In 1938 the Family was torn down except for the rear of the stage house (built 1906). The new steel-frame Lafayette Theatre, designed by Louisville architects Marr & Holman was built in only a few months.
The Lafayette Theatre is currently being renovated for use as a dinner theatre and live entertainment venue. Restoration of interior and exterior details and repair of damage from 10+ years of abandonment are in progress at this time. It has some great Art Deco interior spaces and the building is gradually regaining its shiny Art Deco newness again.
I have photographs of the theatre's renovation and more historical information on my website: View link
The Lafayette Theater has completed it's renovations. It is not "Jake and Roxies". It is the "Lafayette Theater". Renovations were completed by group of investors known as New York LLC. Visit there web site for more information about the theater.

text: Commentary on Micah 6:1-8 Amy G. Oden | 1 CommentFacebook-twitter-g+-LinkedIN-EmailPrint Micah prophesies during the second half of the 8th century BCE in Judah.The Back Story (or Historical Context) He speaks in a context with no shortage of religious people. In fact, Micah describes widespread religiosity where people, especially religious leaders, are making a public show of how religious they are with loud lip service to God (Micah 3). It appears that business-as-usual religion has kept religious leaders self-satisfied and the powerful in power. For a messenger of God to enter this scene and proclaim judgment against the faithful must have been quite a shock. Called on the Cosmic Carpet In the opening verses, God lodges a legal case against Israel, calling upon all of creation to act as the jury. The mountains and foundations of the earth will hear God's charges and Israel's pleas. This is no petty squabble but set within a cosmic framework. We are told that "the Lord has a controversy with his people." We don't get a list of transgressions in these verses, but earlier, chapter 3 lays out a host of sins and later verses in chapter 6 supply specifics: "your wealthy are full of violence, your inhabitants speak lies" (verse 12). We hear God's plaintive repetition, "O my people," in verses 3 and 5, as God tries to understand what has gone wrong. As God reviews the divine-human relationship so far, there is implied judgment of the people as contrasted to God's faithfulness. We get a salvation history of sorts, where God enumerates "the saving acts of the Lord" (verses 4-5): God delivered them from slavery in Egypt gave them leaders (Moses, Aaron, Miriam) blessed them through the foreign priest Balaam even against his own king's wishes and brought them into the promised land (from Shittim to Gilgal). Each of these acts is a full story in its own right, and each story reveals the chronic unfaithfulness of the people. These brief two verses serve to remind the people who this God is. This is the God who hears the cries of the people and brings them out of slavery. This is the God who will use even the outsider to bring blessings. This is the God who shows compassion and mercy when the people fall. Even the people's idolatry and injustice cannot prevent this God from acting. This is the God who is faithful no matter what. The entire creation stands witness to this God made manifest in these acts. The People Reply Now the people reply (verses 6-7). The question "with what shall I come before the Lord?" is tantamount to an admission of guilt. There is no attempt to counter God's claims, and no evidence is brought forth to defend themselves from God's accusations. The people quickly revert to familiar formulae: sacrificial offerings to make up for their transgressions. This response only reinforces the pattern of showy religiosity that Micah has already condemned, especially from leaders who look to their own interests (3: 11). Micah would expect such false leaders to turn first to conspicuous acts of sacrifice, as though the problem is appeasing God rather than changing their own behavior. Micah makes it clear that there will be no more business-as-usual in the religion department without a change of heart and life. The go-to response here is to appease God through a form of score-keeping that tries to put a price tag on God's mercy. What payment will it take to get God off our backs? Burnt offerings? Thousands of rams? My firstborn? How can we even the scoreboard? But Micah isn't buying it. We can't just write a check. No More Business-as-Usual Micah contrasts this knee-jerk score-keeping to the path God has already given, "He has told you, O mortal, what is good" (verse 8). The entire Torah has already given God's people the path of life. Moreover, Micah stands in a line of prophets who have reminded the people, over and over, of this path. Micah offers a summation of what God requires, at once more simple and more difficult than keeping ritual practices: "to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God." To enact justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with God, are not single acts that can be checked off the list and left behind. On an individual and social scale, in ways large and small, this is a way of life. Periodic nods to equity do not constitute a faithful life, Micah tells us. We cannot only observe racial membership quotas on committees in place of seeking racial justice. We cannot send checks for disaster relief and avoid examining the lifestyles that contribute, at least in part, to some natural disasters. We cannot do hunger walks and refuse to change our consumerist lifestyles. We cannot confess with our lips on Sunday morning and hold grudges at work on Monday. Rather than offer God thousands of rams, Micah calls us to offer a thousand daily acts of love for each other and the world God loves. "Walking humbly with God" means knowing our bent to self-righteousness. We cannot "play church" or frame our religious life as a game where we keep God in check by performing prescribed duties. The life of faith is indeed a walk that reorients heart and life. A Caution It is easy from these familiar verses in Micah to set up the false dichotomy between ritual practice and genuine faith, between piety and social justice, or between "being religious" and "being spiritual" to use a common refrain. Nowhere does Micah tell people to stop observing ritual practices or to stop being religious. The problem is not religion in itself. The problem is using ritual practice to excuse ourselves from the divine demands of justice and mercy. Equally troublesome is the opposite, excusing ourselves from communal practices of prayer and worship on the grounds of social justice work. Either extreme fails to be whole. We should also be wary of another common misuse of this verse, namely, to excuse one from any corporate faith at all. The emphasis on "walking humbly with my God," in verse 8 can become the manifesto of privatized religion, a church of one.Amy G. Oden | 1 CommentFacebook-twitter-g+-LinkedIN-EmailPrint

The Nevada State Athletic Commission today released official attendance and box-office tallies for this past month's The Ultimate Fighter 11 Finale, and the UFC's initial estimates were nearly spot-on.
The event's official live now stands at 1,889 spectators for a $430,250 live gate.
Nevada State Athletic Commission executive director Keith Kizer on Friday emailed the figures to MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).
At the evening's post-event press conference, UFC officials estimated attendance for The Ultimate Fighter 11 Finale at 1,708 people for a $430,250 gate.
While the revenue figure was accurate, today's report shows that an additional 181 people were at The Pearl at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas for the June 19 event.
Of the 1,889 fans in attendance, 1,303 purchased tickets while an additional 586 tickets were distributed for free as comp tickets. Another 252 seats went unsold.
With the official figures, the UFC generated an average revenue of $227.76 per ticket issued, while those that purchased tickets spent an average of $330.19.
Middleweight Court McGee (9-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) was crowned "The Ultimate Fighter" season 11 champion in the main event of The Ultimate Fighter 11 Finale after submitting Kris McCray (5-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) in the second round.
Additionally, the co-main event between Matt Hamill (9-2 MMA, 8-2 UFC) and Keith Jardine (15-8-1 MMA, 6-7 UFC) – which was widely panned by both fans and media and appeared underwhelming on paper – provided the biggest fireworks of the card. The blood-filled three-round affair was awarded the evening's "Fight of the Night" bonus, though the loss cost Jardine his slot on the UFC roster.
The Ultimate Fighter 11 Finale was the seventh-consecutive TUF finale to be held at The Pearl. The first-ever finale took place at the Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas, while seasons two, three and four concluded at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, also in Las Vegas.
