Nereocystis luetkeana
Nereocystis (greek= mermaid's bladder) has only one species, N. luetkeana. Plants consist of a long stipe (up to 36 m/118') attached to the ocean floor by a holdfast composed of numerous haptera (finger-like projections) and terminated above, on the ocean surface, by a single float from which a cluster of tightly branched smooth blades arise. The blades are long (up to 4 m/13') and narrow (usually less than 20 cm/8" wide). Overall, this species reminds us of a very large gothic brown onion of extraterrestrial origin. This form, commonly referred to as bull kelp, is attached subtidally but forms surface canopies throughout its distribution from Alaska to central California.
At Race Rocks, all the islands are fringed by this species during the summer months. Several features make this species unique. It grows as an annual although some members persist into a second year. Most palnts gets torn off by winter storms, landing on beaches to be decomposed, releasing the nutrients back into the ocean through a saprophytic food web. The following pictures illustrate the tangled masses which end up on beaches near the reserve.
This means that the plant achieves its significant length in one growing season (most growth occurs between March and September). To reach the maximum stipe lenght of 36 m (118'), the plant must grow an average of 17 cm per day over the approximate 210 day period. Nereocystis has a logistic problem in completing its life cycle. The spores are produced on the blades at the ocean surface, often several metres above the ocean floor, but a critical concentration of spores is required near where the parent plant is successfully established to assure re-occupation of this optimal space once the annual plant is lost. So the sorus (spore patch) drops from the blade and delivers its concentrated spores to the bottom before releasing the spores. This is the only kelp to release spore patches.
Ronald E. Foreman in pursuit of his PhD discovered that the float, which may have a volume of up to 3 liters, has carbon monoxide, an infamous poison as one of his buoyancy gases. Foreman has studied the commercial cultivation of red seaweeds.

Green Conservatism was apparently termed by former Speaker Newt Gingrich in April 2007,.[1]
So what is Green Conservatism? Here are its basic values
- Green Conservatism favors clean air and clean water.
- Green Conservatism understands biodiversity as a positive good.
- Green Conservatism favors minimizing carbon loading in the atmosphere as a positive public value.
- Green Conservatism is pro-science, pro-technology and pro-innovation.
- Green Conservatism believes that green prosperity and green development are integral to the successful future of the human race.
- Green Conservatism believes that economic growth and environmental health are compatible in both the developed and developing world.
- Green Conservatism believes that we can realize more positive environmental outcomes faster by shifting tax code incentives and shifting market behavior than is possible from litigation and regulation.[2]
The need for a Green Conservatism is based on the need for conservatives to take part in the environmental debate instead of being marginalized to the point that the Left defines what environmentalism means.

Well, my date would have to be a 3 way.
And that is not as dirty as it sounds, lol. Since I am married, I would want to pick my husband's idol Marty Brodeur from the New Jersey Devils, so we could chat it up with him. And if we're picking a movie, I guess it would have to be Slap Shot, because I don't think I could convince my hubby and a bad a** hockey player to watch Eclipse with me. :D
Who would you choose?
If I weren't married, or not feeling so benevolent (or if it weren't illegal- take your pick, I might chose Taylor Lautner)

text: By Sarah Lyczkowski Overview of the Police's involvement during the CRM The police had a big responsibility during the Civil Rights Movement. Many people wanted segregation and when it came to activists fighting for equality and leading marches, the police were the ones who responded to protests. Many of the police officers responded violently and used excessive force but some would try a nonviolent approach. Some policemen would arrest activists in order to avoid violence. Segregation in law enforcement In the 1950s African Americans were finally able to be hired in as policemen. But they weren't able to wear uniforms and they were only allowed to work with African American juveniles. Many states didn't allow them to arrest whites either. Also in order to avoid racial tension they were stationed separately from white policemen. James Cherry He was the first African American police officer in Jackson city 1964. According to the Jackson Sun newspaper, he faced many challenges during his career. He not only was rejected by the white community but also the black community. When he would arrest an African American they normally would put up a fight. But also he faced problems with the white community, they didn't see him as a "real police officer" and would often want a white officer to help them. Philosophy behind the Police's response During a conference of the NAACP, Thurgood Marshall made a speech summarizing their view on the law enforcement and legal strategies. He claimed that laws have been in place since the 1800s but they weren't followed for three reasons: 1) The judges and juries don't follow the law 2) When they do follow the law many juries are reluctant to protect the rights of African Americans 3) Many African Americans hesitate to go to the law because they feel laws aren't enforced properly towards them. Cited from the civil rights movement opposing viewpoint 6 of chapter 1 5 Eugene "bull" Connor (1897 - 1973) was a police chief in Alabama during the anti-segregation protests in downtown Birmingham. In the spring of 1963, Martin Luther King, Jr. launched a series of non-violent anti-segregation protests in Birmingham, Alabama. In response, Eugene "Bull" Connor ordered his police department to use fire hoses, police dogs, and night sticks to break up the demonstrations. Cecil Price (1938-2001) A deputy sheriff who arrested three civil rights workers in Mississippi in 1964. The slayings of the civil rights workers, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner of New York City and James Chaney of Meridian, Miss., all in their early 20s, were among the most notorious crimes of the civil rights era. He released them six hours later and then investigators later established that Mr. Price followed them, pulled their car over again, then turned them over to a KKK mob. He was never charged with the murders but there was a federal inquiry and, by early 1965, the sheriff and his deputy and 16 other men had been charged with conspiring to violate the victims' civil rights. In October 1967, Mr. Price was convicted and found guilty James Bonard Fowler State Trooper in Alabama He and some other policemen were sent to Marion on the night of February 18, 1965. About 500 civil rights marchers were attacked by the police but the police said that the crowd refused orders and the policemen started swinging clubs. Fowler then shot Jimmy Lee Jackson and claimed it was self defense. He was never brought up on any charges after the shooting but in May 2007 he was convicted of murder and sentenced to jail. Bloody Sunday The Selma to Montgomery march had a tragic end. On March 7, 1965, 600 civil rights marchers were stopped at the Edmund Pettus bridge. They were blocked by state and local lawmen who greeted them with billy clubs and tear gas and pushed back into Selma. Laurie Pritchett (1926-2000) Police chief of Albany Georgia He had a nonviolent approach to demonstrations in the 1960s. He saw this as an effective strategy for bringing the campaign to an end before demonstrators could secure any gains in the movement. Even though many police officers never followed through on any of the promises so many people didn't trust them. MLK has said that he trusted Pritchett and thought his nonviolent approach was a good alternative. Some positive aspects of the police Police officers led the Little Rock Nine students to Central High and they protected the students. Many people protested the fact that the black students were allowed to go to school and started to shout hateful words to the policemen, but the police still protected the students and made sure they got to school safely. ^^Police using fire hoses at school children ^^Laurie Pritchett Works Cited: Crosby, Emilye.

I Finally Got the Return Call, But They Won't Put It in Writing
I've mentioned previously on one of my comments that I called the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance to inquire on their "Indian Commerce" policies. Three weeks after my initial call I received a call back from the department's Office of Counsel. I asked what the State's policy is and would be after September 1st regarding Native to Native commerce and the sales and distribution of Native brands of tobacco products from territory to territory. The caller made it crystal clear that the State intends to stop any shipments of product that leave a reservation regardless of whether the product was produced or manufactured by Native people and regardless if the transaction is in the commission of trade between Native people on Native lands. When pressed where the State feels it has the right to interfere with Native to Native trade the caller suggested that there was case law that supported their position. I reminded her that the case law she refers to was specifically based on the premise that the tobacco sold by the Native retailers in Montana and Washington at the time had no value added to products by the Native people. Clearly this was no longer the case now that 70 - 80% of the product sold by Native retailers are Native brands and clearly a sustainable business can now exist entirely off those brands. The caller then suggested that the State would only consider value having been added if was done in the community that it was sold in. In other words; Native people could not manufacture a product and sell it to Native people from another Native territory without the State's regulation. When I continued to pressed her on the notion that the State would even stop, and indeed did so last week, a Seneca wholesaler from transporting a Native product from the Seneca Territory of Cattaraugus to the Seneca Territory of Allegany, she backed off some saying that the State would stop shipments going from one Nation to another. She said she couldn't comment on last week's seizure and speculated on various reasons that could have been in play.
The bottom line is that the State is so emboldened by new legislation and case law from places that are far from the territories and people of the Haudenosaunee (geographically and politically) that they are actually saying they will prohibit Native to Native commerce that doesn't comply with State law. I couldn't get the Office of Counsel to provide a written policy statement saying such because they don't want to use language that in any way addresses Native commerce distinct from State commerce. As far as the State is concerned our trade is their business.
We obviously cannot stand for this. We also cannot allow Native to Native commerce be reduced to a situation where only the tribes are allowed to conduct commerce under a concept of Nation to Nation commerce. This will be the ultimate sell out by tribal leadership and will make them complicit in criminalizing the private sector economies of our territories; the few that are left. Native people challenging the State's authority in front of white men under black robes is only slightly better than white men under white hoods. The laws these men live and judge by are as racist and outdated as the Klan. A system of laws that allows hundreds of distinct sovereign societies to be lumped together so that precedent can be established upon the weakest and imposed on those where no such ruling could be made on its own merits is no system at all. It is a sham.

Open Hearth Cooking RescheduledDue to last weekend's unseasonable snowstorm, the Friends of High Point State Park's Open Hearth Cooking celebration has been rescheduled for this Saturday, November 5th, from 11 AM to 3 PM in the Interpretive Center.
Before Open Hearth begins, at 10 AM, join the Park Naturalist for an easy 1.5-mile walk around Sawmill Lake. We'll look for signs of beaver activity and see how many different kinds of seeds we can find as the plants prepare for winter. Some portions of the trail may be muddy, so wear appropriate footwear. This walk is suitable for adults and families with children age six and up. Meet at the Sawmill Lake boat launch. When we're done, we can all go up to the Interpretive Center for hot beverages and to see what's cooking on the fire.

A disaster management plan lays out the course of action a school, business or community follows if a disaster occurs. These plans are usually multi-faceted and consist of numerous parts, each dedicated to a different potential disaster. Effective disaster management plans end with a conclusion that reiterates the most important plan features and enumerates the materials necessary to effectively instate the proposed plan. This conclusion should be a clear, concise summary that can be quickly referenced in case of emergency.
Restate important points. Create a summary of the disaster management plan by stating the main points in two to three sentences. Be as concise as possible, allowing this section to serve as a reference section that individuals can consult if they need the information quickly.
Point out any systems that are in the process of being established and explain how these systems will be used. If your school, business or community is actively setting up disaster response systems, describe these briefly in the conclusion. State when these improvements will be made and how the additions will alter the proposed plan.
Mention potential pitfalls. It does not do any good to pretend that your disaster management is fool-proof. If there are any identified weaknesses in your school, business or community's ability to respond to and recover from a disaster, mention these in the conclusion. The mentioning of these weaknesses allows individuals to be prepared and have the knowledge necessary to respond appropriately to disaster.
List plans for the future. Near the end of your conclusion, add a few sentences that detail what improvements you could make in the future to enhance the disaster preparedness of your school, business or community. This final section of the disaster management plan can be referenced at a later date and used as a starting point for modernization or improvement effort.

|Rare ship found in Lake Ontario
Shipwreck enthusiasts have discovered a rare dagger-board schooner in the very deep water off the southern shore of Lake Ontario near Oak Orchard, New York.
Jim Kennard and Dan Scoville of Shipwreck World located the ship using deep scan sonar equipment. Vessels of this type were used for a short period of time in the early 1800's.
This ship is the only dagger-board known to have been found in the Great Lakes.
Kennard and Scoville also what they call the "Holy Grail" of shipwrecks in the Great Lakes in June. Read story

If a hospital or provider loses records so that a patient can't pursue a medical malpractice case, the Indiana Court
of Appeals says state law allows that person to pursue a separate civil action for spoliation of evidence.
Applying 3-year-old precedent from the Indiana Supreme Court and additional guidance offered by the highest court in Illinois, a three-judge appellate panel has determined a private cause of action is established under Indiana Code 16-39-7-1 about the consequences of violating the state's medical record retention statute. The unanimous decision comes in Howard Regional Health System, et al. v. Jacob Z. Gordon b/n/f Lisa Gordon, No. 34A02-0902-CV-179.
The case involves multiple disorders that Jacob Gordon suffers from that could have been caused by substandard medical care at the time of his birth in 1999. His mother, Lisa, filed a medical malpractice action and asked for evidence from the hospital where her son was born, but Howard Community Hospital responded 18 months later that some of the nurse's narrative notes, labor records, and initial fetal data information couldn't be located. A neonatal doctor later determined he couldn't provide an opinion about potential medical malpractice because of the missing evidence.
Gordon asked for partial summary judgment about whether the hospital had a duty to preserve the evidence, whether it breached that duty, and whether that breach made it impossible to pursue a separate med mal action.
The Court of Appeals found the spoliation of evidence claim is outside the scope of the state's Medical Malpractice Act and the trial court had jurisdiction to hear the case. The panel relied on H.D. v. BHC Meadows Hosp. Inc., 884 N.E.2d 849 (Ind. Ct. App. 2008), that determined a health-care provider's negligent or reckless dissemination of a patient's confidential information to the general public wasn't within the boundaries of the Medical Malpractice Act.
On the availability of a private right of action for loss of medical records, the appellate panel held that a hospital is required by Indiana Code § 16-39-7-1 to maintain its health records for seven years and if a hospital violates that statute, it commits negligence per se and a private action is available.
Relying largely on the Indiana Supreme Court decision of Kho v. Pennington, 875 N.E. 2d 208 (Ind. 2007), the appellate panel determined violating the statute creates a private cause of action and rejected the hospital argument about an administrative disciplinary remedy preventing the separate claim.
"It is apparent in the case before us that the statutory sanctions involving 'the provider's licensure, registration, or certification' ... would similarly be 'wholly ineffectual' to remedy the harm Gordon would suffer if the loss of records made it impossible to bring a malpractice action," Judge Melissa May wrote, citing a similar Illinois Supreme Court ruling from 1992.
Aside from those issues, the Court of Appeals also addressed the availability of third-party spoliation claims and that summary judgment was appropriate in this case because Gordon had established that the record loss was the proximate cause of the harm alleged.
Indianapolis attorney John Muller with Montross Miller Muller Mendelson & Kennedy said he was pleased with the decision for his client, while Indianapolis attorney Bryan Babb representing the hospital said a transfer petition to the Indiana Supreme Court will likely be filed in the case.

I have a project that installs a number of Merge Modules as part of the installation. However, after running the project's uninstaller, the Zero G Registry entries for the merge modules are still there. The uninstaller correctly removes the main product entry from the Zero G Registry, but does not remove the Merge Module product entries.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

Holt, who has coached the last 13 seasons at the University of South Florida, is the second full-time head coach and the fourth coach overall since women's golf became a varsity sport at Notre Dame in 1988-89. Holt directed the USF to five of the last 10 Conference USA championships. She also guided the Bulls to consecutive trips to the NCAA finals in 2001 and 2002. She was Conference USA Coach of the Year in 1996, 1999 and 2001. In the spring of 2005, Holt was named the league's Coach of the Decade (1995-2005).

f you fallow along you know I just received the Nex-7 and a bunch of lenses the other day, and I got a chance to take a few sample pics with the Nex-7 and the New Tamron 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 Di III VC Lens! Nothing incredible cool yet, but decent sample pics nonetheless 😉 The Tamron and Nex-7 make a nice lightweight combo with a serious zoom equivalent to ~ 27-300mm!!
Right off the bat I notice the Vibration Compensation or VC, works extremely well. it's very visible that it's working, especially at the higher end of the focal range like 200mm. The Zoom itself is pretty smooth and a bit tighter than I expected from Tamron, but I imagine it will loosen up a bit with use.
Here's what the Tamron 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 Di III VC Lens looks like mounted to the Sony Nex-7
The Tamron 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 Di III VC Lens
And here's a few Sony Nex-7 sample photos all shot RAW and 100% Crops.
All the Exif info is just below the photos in the Caption area. None of these photos were edited at all. I imported the raw files to Lightroom v3.6 and left everything at the default. No noise reduction at all and 25 on the sharpening slider is default. I exported the files at 65% quality, 1200px max (some of the 100% crops are less than 1200px), and as jpegs.
Also, be sure to Click the Photos for the full 100% ~1200px crops.
This is a gorgeous and very well maintained farm that I drive past on the way to work everyday. On the way home, depending on the time of the year, the sunlight falls on the farm providing some noce texture and warm colors. All the dynamic range was easily captured by the Sony Nex-7 Raw file. I took a few of the same shots at different focal lengths for lens examination purposes.
This is just a snapshot through the windshield of my car looking away from the farm above. The highway on the left is what I take to work and see this farm from everyday.
This next photo is also just a snapshot. The camera was resting on the kitchen table and I was shooting through the middle of two white glass candles at the back of the couch which created a nice foreground blur.
Here's one of those glass candles from above, but in focus this time. Also, the highlight area on the right side is the TV and the raw file was slightly blown out as the exposure was 1.6 seconds.
This can of sprite was also resting on the table, but I was hand holding the Nex-7 and Tamron at a pretty high ISO of 6400. The 100% crop has a bit of visible noise.

About CCSC
The Consortium for Computing Sciences in Colleges is a non-profit organization focused on promoting quality computer-oriented curricula as well as effective use of computing in smaller institutions of higher learning, which are typically non-research in orientation. It supports activities, which assist faculty in making appropriate judgments concerning computing resources and educational applications of computer technology.
The Consortium is concerned with the advancement of major programs in both Computer Science and Computer Information Systems, and with the use of computers in the Liberal Arts and Sciences.
CCSC currently sponsors ten regional conferences in eight regions: Northeastern, Eastern, Southeastern, Midwestern, Rocky Mountain, Northwestern, South Central, and Central Plains. CCSC publishes the Journal of Computing Sciences in Colleges, which is included in the ACM Digital Library.
Typically the faculty members who attend these conferences are from primarily undergraduate institutions whose main focus is undergraduate teaching. Attendance has varied based on regions and years, and ranges from 60 to 265 attendees each conference. This year we are also planning sessions for K-12 teachers and administrators, who are interested in exploring the use of technology in their schools. In addition, we are endeavoring to attract college students, many of whom will be the teachers of tomorrow.
Types of products
We invite both national and local vendors to lease display table(s) at the conference to display and demonstrate their products. Textbooks, software, and hardware are among the types of products that have been exhibited in the past.
Vendors may also sponsor a Conference event (refreshment break, luncheon, etc.) or participant gift (e.g. tote bag), speaker, or student prizes (Programming Competition, Poster).
Advantages to Exhibitors
Some advantages to exhibitors include:
National Partners
Over the years, for a vendor registration fee several vendors, including book vendors and software vendors, have attended and displayed at these regional conferences. As a result of vendor interest in CCSC conferences, CCSC now offers a national partner program. (See http://www.ccsc.org/partners/)

There are few genres that I genuinely have no interest in. Handbooks on DIY is one of them and sports literature is another. Yet I've found myself reading and enjoying what can very easily be termed a book about baseball. I will come clean immediately and say that I know nothing about baseball. Absolutely nothing. I have never watched a game, have no idea what the rules are or how many players it involves or even who might be celebrities in the baseball world. I imagine it to be a kind of upmarket version of rounders with slightly more action and slightly less misses but really, I have no clue.
So Chad Harbach's 2011 novel "The Art of Fielding" was an eye-opener. I actually thought the title referred to art made by an artist called Fielding… yes I'm blonde. Sorry. Turns out that's not the case. Turns out that "The Art of Fielding" is a book (within a book) that young Henry Skrimshander treats as his personal bible. His one passion in life is baseball but he has no real idea of his own talent until he is spotted by Mike Schwarz, a baseball player at Westish College, a fictional but traditional liberal arts college. Suddenly and much to his own surprise, small-town boy Henry finds himself enrolled at Westish on a sports grant, living with decidedly gay roommate Owen who takes him shopping and training at the gym with his new team mates. Slowly but surely Henry grows physically – from a small, lean boy into a bulky baseball player, from a diamond in the rough into a real, recognized talent – but mentally it's a much more difficult growth for him as the lines between his own dreams and the ambitions of his mentor Schwarz blur.
Westish is also home to President Affenlight, a former Harvard professor who has two loves in his life: his daughter Pella and Melville's novel "Moby Dick". Affenlight is a lovely man who has been led on his path of life by events often outside of his control and who has followed his passion for the whale novel and turned it into a career. He lives alone and is quite happy in a lonely way until one day his daughter Pella, a privileged child of academia who ran away from her private education to marry a much older man, returns from her failed marriage in California. Pella is bruised in the way that you only become when you realize that by following your own headstrong ideas and go up against your parents, your friends and conventions, you've actually sabotaged yourself. So with nothing more than a bathing suit and a tattered beach bag, Pella returns home to start a new life and kick her anti-depressant addiction.
The lives of all of these characters weave together in stories and each and every one of those stories could have been a book in its own right. The characters are strong and well-written and interesting. They have flaws and are real living people, not just clichés or stereotypes, I wanted to know them. I guess that is the strength of this novel, it's real-ness and that the characters are relatable, even if wouldn't know what's up or down on a baseball.
It is a stunning novel, a piece of art and it wouldn't be entirely unfair to call it a great American novel. It reminded me in some ways of Tom Wolfe's "I am Charlotte Simmons" but "The Art of Fielding" is better, more well-written and doesn't suffer the clichés (and horrible sex scenes) that drag "I am Charlotte Simmons" down. If you have an interest in baseball you have to read it. If you couldn't care less about baseball, you still have to read it. Because it's not really about baseball. It is about love, passion, talent, doubt. About following your dreams or following someone else's dreams.

Designer Extraordinaire John Gall has a post on his SPINE OUT blog of some of the cool Yearbook covers he found while doing research for his children's school "graphics" project.
This reminded me of when I was on my high school yearbook committee.
I was responsible for designing the Yearbook Cover and the section dividers. Other than the elaborate covers that I put more effort in than the one-paragraph long book reports I wrote, and for extra credit that I never received, or the mimeographed choir assembly programs created in my young artist career in grammar school, I think this is my first printed book cover. Complete with foil and deep emboss on a leatherette case. And Done on Spec. Pro Bono. Although I wasn't aware of a field called "Graphic Design". I just saw this all as illustration.
I was in the class of '83. Not as interesting as the ominous "1984" just coming over the horizon. The committee came up with our big thought-provoking theme. REFLECTIONS. The unknown future gave us lots to think about. But not enough for a concept. Think "Reflections." Hmmm. a-HA! Mirrors! You know. Because they reflect. Brilliant! Jacket meetings were so much easier back then.
My high school yearbook:
It's funny to see so many graphic elements present themselves here so early on that still show up in my work now.
Block lettering. Type in Perspective, Frames. And nostalgia brown.
Ugh. I. am. such. A hack.
I read somewhere that all artist have three ideas that truly interest them in life. And everything they create is a variation and exploration of those three ideas. Hmm, something to reflect upon.
My Grammar school Choir program Design:
Check out the calligraphy, stacked type, alternating colors and curved musical staff. I'm just brimming with brilliant ideas.
And here's an interview with Gall In His Own Words:

Gosh... I have to agree with the idea that artists have 3 basic formulas they follow in their work. I know for me there is those things I try without fail on every project—occasionally I try something else and it rarely works... I like circles—and hard angles—and about 3 colors... gosh—me a major hack.

Premier League roundup: Man City cruises, relegation battle taking shape
Halfway through the 2017-18 season, the Premier League relegation battle is a mess.
There is no clear worst team. There is no clear separation between those in danger of relegation and those safe. There is simply a jumbled mess of teams toward the bottom of the league that have yet to sort themselves out. Saturday offered a bit of clarity, but not much.
However, with the race so tight, and with 10 teams seemingly so similar in quality, every weekend between now and May could prove decisive. That's why wins for Brighton, Stoke and Newcastle – over Watford, West Brom and West Ham, respectively – weren't just any old wins. They can no longer merely be considered positive early-season results.
Every game between teams in the bottom half of the league could end up being a relegation six-pointer. There's no way to tell which ones ultimately will be. So we must treat all of them as such. And there were four or five on Saturday.
One relegation struggler came up against the juggernaut running away with the league, so we'll start our roundup there out of obligation. But the most compelling games happened down toward the bottom of the league. We'll get to them soon enough.
Manchester City 4-0 Bournemouth
The closest City has come to a Premier League loss along its road to 17 consecutive wins was the first of the 17. It needed a 97th-minute Raheem Sterling winner to win at Bournemouth back in August. The return fixture offered far less to fret about.
City was somewhat sloppy in the first first half, but Sergio Aguero's 27th-minute header set the league-leaders on their way.
Sterling erased any doubt early in the second half.
Aguero and Danilo completed the 4-0 rout late on. City went 14 points clear at the top of the table, at least until Manchester United's showdown with Leicester later in the day.
Bournemouth, meanwhile, slipped into the relegation zone, because …
Stoke City 3-1 West Brom
Stoke jumped from 17th place up into 14th with a win that should lift at least a bit of pressure off the shoulders of Mark Hughes.
The Potters were cruising at halftime thanks to goals from Joe Allen and Maxim Choupo-Moting. Salomon Rondon pulled one back for West Brom early in the second half, but Choupo-Moting set up Ramadan Sobhi for a late Stoke third.
West Brom had gone stale under Tony Pulis, but the Baggies have sunk even further since sacking the Premier League's preeminent survival expert. They now sit in 19th, three points from safety, and only one point above bottom.
Swansea City 1-1 Crystal Palace
If there is a relegation favorite, it's Swansea. The Welsh side sacked Paul Clement this past week, and will have gone through four managers in 13 months when it hires Clement's replacement. It entered the weekend in 20th, and as arguably the worst of the 20 teams.
A home match against Crystal Palace, therefore, was pivotal. A loss would have been troubling. And it appeared to be on the cards when Palace went ahead from the penalty spot in the second half. But Jordan Ayew popped up with a stunning equalizer to rescue a crucial point.
Brighton 1-0 Watford
Based solely on the eye test, Brighton seems comparable to Swansea. But it snatched another massive win to leap into 12th place. Shrewd summer signing Pascal Gross got the winner at home, where Brighton have only lost twice in 10 Premier League games.
Southampton 1-1 Huddersfield
The other newly-promoted side widely expected to sink straight back down into the Championship, Huddersfield, claimed another impressive result at Southampton. The Saints took what felt like a comfortable lead into halftime, but Laurent Depoitre rose for an embarrassingly free header to nick a point for the Terriers:
West Ham 2-3 Newcastle
After a strong start, Newcastle had taken just one lone point from its last nine Premier League games. It was an unlucky, but nonetheless pitiful, run. It finally ended on Saturday.
An early goal for either side had Newcastle and West Ham locked at 1-1 for most of the first half. Early in the second, Mohamed Diame set the Magpies on their way:
Christian Atsu gave the visitors a commanding 3-1 lead eight minutes later.
Andre Ayew's goal made for a nerve-wracking final 20 minutes for the traveling fans, but Rafa Benitez's men held out for a massive victory. It dragged them up out of the relegation zone, and into 15th place.
Everton 0-0 Chelsea
Chelsea managed 25 shots to Everton's five, and eight shots on goal to Everton's zero. But the lackluster Toffees were again recipients of some good fortune, and escaped with a point. Chelsea, meanwhile, failed to open up a significant gap between itself and Arsenal and Liverpool.

Elizabeth Armistead 1750 - 1842
"You are all to me. You can always make me happy in circumstances apparently unpleasant and miserable… Indeed my dearest angel, the whole happiness of my life depends on you." Charles James Fox wrote to Elizabeth Armistead.
Born Elizabeth Bridget Cane, it's unknown if Elizabeth ever married or if she adopted the name Armistead from an early protector as was the frequent custom of the day. Her lovers already having included Dukes, Earls and the Prince of Wales himself, and at the age of 33 she had secured a substantial independent income through two handsome annuities, it isn't known why or how Elizabeth embarked on her career as a courtesan. And there are many different accounts of how this may have come about. Some believe that she was found by Mrs Goudby, the celebrated Lady Abbess that run an expensive and magnificently elegant "Nunnery" in Marlborough Street which only catered to the very wealthy men of London. Or even by her neighbour Mrs Windsor's house, where the Prince of Wales and Fox were known to be patrons.
In letters written to Elizabeth Fox states "I could change my name and live with you in the remotest part of Europe in poverty and obscurity. I could bear that very well, but to be parted I cannot bear." She had stillness, a luminosity that was the perfect contrast to Fox's hectic energy. With fresh good looks and wonderful rich dark hair; beautiful, but not described as stunningly so, Elizabeth possessed all the important attributes, such as an elegant figure and great ability in the arts of seduction. She was more importantly a good and sympathetic listener. Always bringing out the best of those around her, the secret to her success was her ability to make a man believe himself the centre of the universe. She had intelligence, and was clear headed in her attitude towards money. Through her annuities she was a householder in her own right, owning two houses in London and one in St Anne's Hill. It was in 1783 that she fell in love with Charles James Fox. Even in his earliest letters Fox always treats Elizabeth as an intellectual equal, and with absolute confidence and trust. It was an unusual relationship for the highly popular courtesan. She was a woman of means, while he had lost all his money at the gaming tables. But this was a love connection and not a business one.
At a point when Elizabeth found herself in dept. she took the unlikely decision to stay with Fox, although he could not provide for her, and sold her houses in London – giving up her public life to live in St Anne's Hill. They settled into a quiet life together. Visited by their powerful friends, they always welcomed visitors, especially children as they had none of their own. They lived in domestic happiness with Fox considering himself a married man with Elizabeth his wife, even though they were still unmarried after many years. Their friends considered them the same, although as a mistress Elizabeth was excluded from much of fox's social life. After a friend, the banker Coutts, started to make advances to Fox regarding marrying his daughter, the usually serene Elizabeth could no longer keep her feelings to herself, and Fox realised that she had long been the wife of his heart, and it was time to make her his legal wife. But Elizabeth had douts, and tried more than once to talk Fox out of the marriage for his own sake. She knew that as a former courtesan she would never be accepted into society as his wife. But Fox loved her wholeheartedly and insisted. They even kept the marriage a secret on Elizabeth's insistence for several years. When finally announced the women of society had the chance to decide for themselves.
Most found it impossible not to like her. And most were shocked that they had kept it secret for so long. Returning to public life Fox became ill and finally died in Sept 1806 with his 'beloved Liz' beside him. She lived for a further 36 years at St Anne's Hill where they had always been so happy. Dyeing peacefully just three days short of her 92nd birthday, she was never without family and friends visiting her during her later years. Her last wish was that she be buried in Westminster with her dear husband, which sadly was not to happen. The sons and grandsons of her former patrons were among the principal mourners at her funeral.

Elizabeth Armistead has clothing that is all hand sewn, and is as correct to the period as I could make it. I've made her as she would have been between the years 1793-97, when she would have been in her early 40's, when I think she was just about to give up her public life and settle into peaceful domestic life with Fox at St Anne's Hill. She would have always been at the height of fashion; along with the other great courtesans leading the way with the newest styles. Even though you can't see it, she wears a long sleeveless shift that reaches to her ankles, and no bloomers! They weren't worn at this period, and didn't start coming in until the gowns became very transparent and light. I have given her a little pair of lacy knickers as I can't stand the thought of people looking up her skirts and seeing she has none on. And for some reason, everyone looks up a doll's skirts, I've no idea why. She wears a set of short stays, and a high waisted petticoat that's held under her bust by straps that go over her shoulders that has a pale pink ribbon trim. Elizabeth's gown is made of a very fine cotton voile fabric, made in two layers to give her an under and overdress.
The sleeves are ¾ length with a puffy top, and her sash is again of pale pink satin ribbon tied just under her bust and left trailing down the back of her skirts. The under-dress has a lace trimmed hem, and the overdress has a very deep lace decorated hem made by cutting and individually applying lace pieces to give the look of white-work embroidery. The skirts of this period would have been fuller than in the later Jane Austen period, with most of the bulk at the back of the dress, and a slightly higher back than the front. Elizabeth's Pelisse (coat) is made of a dusky pink silky dupion fabric and made in the same shape as her gown using the Spencer design as a guide. And her Poke bonnet has been handmade to fit, with satin ribbon and lace flower trim.
It is important to me to create a correct costume that provides the right shape and support as well as the right feel. And Elizabeth's clothing, although it appears simple, is full of details to make it as authentic as possible.
She has rich brown hair, with lavender eyes. And she carries a small silk and lawn reticule trimmed with lace and beading. She's a lovely doll to hold, with a nice weight and size.
Her pellise and bonnet are both removable. And the train of her gown hooks up in the back, as it would have been to stop it dragging on the ground outside and getting dirty.
Hand sculpted from paperclay, with jointed arms at the shoulder and elbow, and legs at the hip and knee.Elizabeth Armistead would make a perfect gift for all those like me that like unusual but sweet odd little dolls.
This doll stands at 49cm tall, weighs approx. 280g.

but see you got to think almost like a noob or someone who has never touched a pc. the entire project is geared towards making a cheaper(free?) operating system that is compatible with windows based applications and easy to use and install. say a medium size startup company of ~50 people wants a nice machine without all the restrictions of the new vista that is coming out soon. also they dont want that hefty price tag associated with it or xp even for that matter. or maybe they dont want to 'upgrade' to vista to save some bucks, at the same time they dont want to have to educate those 50 windows users on linux. anyhow you got to look at it it relates to deployment time(how quick someone can catch on to this new os) and to cost. example, 50 machines that run XP Pro ~200 a pop is about 10 grand. then add office on top of that thats about another 10 grand. of course on the other end you can take some more time to educate and save almost all of that with using linux but in todays world people want stuff done yesterday. at least with this os you would drop one of those large price tags and its not as scary to alot of people because it is so much like windows. in that sense i can see the software succeed... at the other end of the spectrum people aren't going to dump linux to go over to this. same thing would probably apply to a regular user of windows. it takes people with an open mind to try something new.. this project is giving you something new.. with an old twist. i do concur though that if it gets large and is becoming widespread they will get bought out or sued. sadly enough, money in the end rules all and as far as this project goes.... they dont have alot.
here is thier current screen shots from teh site... http://www.reactos.org/en/screenshots.html from some of the shots it looks very windows-ish with a dash of linux. its like a bastard child of the two... i think i am going to install this on my tardbox tonight. lets see how compatible it really is. i have an atheros chipset wifi card, soundblaster audio card, and just a regular nic all on an old pentium 3 900 w/ 512 ram and a 20 gig drive. pretty generic machine. i am curious to see if any of these will be detected by default.. and if not if it will take the drivers? i will report back later tonight or tmw when i get to work to let you know how well it works in the "alpha stage" in a real enviroment. edit- just downloaded live cd and release... both under 100 megs
interesting. i guess i misread their about page. when i was first going to post i thought it was its own OS but after reading that about i was under the impression it wasnt. i think the line, "isnt another OS" threw me off. anywho, should of read the wiki. but still i think its a cool concept. i wonder if its linux like, mac like, more windows like.. or maybe something really cool that we dont even know about
malfuncion started following ReactOS

malfuncion replied to RodgaDaShruba's topic in HAM Radio/Hardware Hackinghah actually according to the actual rules of the game that pile of money shouldnt exist. alot of people use the free parking to collect this cash, but in the rule book that part of the game is just known as 'free parking' and goes on to say "you may sit in this spot for free of charge." personally i find it alot more fun to put all the taxes and whatnot in there. on topic... it could be rather interesting to see this game. i wonder if the deeds also have some sort of stripe on them. if so do you swipe the card and then the deed? what happens if you dont have enough play cash? does it spit out a thermal print that says declined? then everyone playing can give you 'that look'
malfuncion posted a topic in Hacker MeetingsI was really wanting to setup local meetings here in Norman, Oklahoma. Wanting to see if there are any members that are close to the area that are willing to meet. I am organizing something soon with a few people, and wanted to see if the interest is more widespread than us. I am going to be posting flyers around the local campus (Oklahoma University) and surrounding areas. Just wondering if there is any one else around here that shares similar interests in technology and ways to break erm i mean mod it If interested give me a general idea of time/place that would be good in town. We are about to get a new starbucks on main st, and there is always the local delis. all very centrally located in town. There is the 2600 meetings but those meetings arent too organized, and well...not to welcome of newcomers. Also they like to have them way on the north side of OKC and it sort of sucks trying to nail a 5pm meeting 20+ miles away in rush hour traffic. hrmmm

Obagi Skin Systems
The Obagi Nu-Derm System helps to rejuvenate the skin from the inside out, reversing the effects of ageing and sun damaged skin. At its core are two prescription-only creams. One fades sun spots in a matter of weeks, whilst the second stimulates collagen production, leading to smoother, stronger skin. The "peel" refers to the low concentration of the chemical trichloroacetic acid in the products.
The principle behind Nu-Derm is to work at the cellular level to improve skin cell function. Potent products are used to penetrate all layers of the skin and slough away dead unattractive skin. Damaged skin cells are thereby retrained to function normally resulting in marked skin renewal and skin improvement.

Album Rating: 4.5superb album. maybe a bit bloated in places, but the riffs and quality of the leads more than make up for it. good review
Album Rating: 3.0I expected this one. I'm not a big fan of the album but it certainly has its moments. Very good review too, pos.
Digging: Whyte Diamond - Scream in the Dark
Album Rating: 4.0Just got the double vinyl re-pressing and gotta say: this is sooo much better than I remembered it. Intriguing song-writing, the King at his prime (ok, less use of his falsetto, but I dig that) and great riffs and atmosphere. Surely not far away from the old classics in terms of quality!
And good review by the way! Like how it points out differences to older albums while still giving it credits as an individual achievement.
Digging: Thorns - Trøndertun
80s fate is better

While the Red Team celebrates winning two challenges in a row, they leave out one of their best players. And as Camila continues to feel alienated from the Red Team, she grows closer to Johnny. For the Danimal, a house full of drinking and celebration would be just the thing, except that he's in recovery and all the boozing is just brining him closer to his breaking point. So he does what any good boy would do, he calls mom and she bestows some age old wisdom upon him. Dan knows that if he can make it out of the Cutthroat house without taking a drink, he can make it anywhere.Speaking of drinking, while the challengers enjoy some beer pong, a bet arises. If Ty can get his ball in a cup from the couch, he'll get money, if he misses, well then Luke has to get a little more than friendly with the Hercules of the Blue Team. When Ty throws an obvious air ball a question in the house arises, is it "gay" for a man to be serviced by another man? While the challengers debate the finer points of male on male love, a drunken Ty goes too far and picks a fight with Brandon. Before anything can escalate, the other challengers break up the fight and Ty cools off, for the night at least.The next day is the fifth challenge and with the Gray Team lagging behind, sober Dan shaves a V for victory into his hair. At the Surf's Up challenge, the contestants must pair up and ride a surfboard suspended above water. While the Gray and Blue teams sail through the challenge, the Red Team has some serious setbacks. When Chet's up, his thirty foot fall lands him in serious distress and he's rushed to the hospital. However, Chet is the least of the Red Team's problems, when it's Brandon's turn he panics, cramps up and causes himself and Dunbar to disqualify, slapping the Red Team with a time penalty. With one of their stronger players in the ER and a complete challenge fail, the Red Team loses the buzz from their two win streak.It's time for deliberations, but with Chet spending the night in the hospital he is unable to be nominated. Wanting to get rid of their weakest player, the Blue Team sends in Gulag vet Katie and needing the rookie to prove himself, they send in Ty. For the Red Team the vote is easy, send in the whipping players, Brandon and Camila. That night, when Emily tries to play a prank on Ty he freaks out, throws a tree in her bed and then pins her under the two story bunk bed... because that's the same as putting shaving cream on an already bald head. With the Blue Team seeing that Ty may be a loose cannon, they worry about his place in the game.It's Gulag time and the teams eagerly await the matches. First up are the boys, a showdown that both contestants have been itching for. When Ty and Brandon compete in Pole Me Over, Ty easily pushes Brandon back, knocking over his barrels. But when the players resent for round two, Ty gets gassed out and falls over the chains. When Ty refuses to get off the ground, TJ calls it and Brandon is the upset winner, sending home the Blue Team's "secret weapon." Next up are the ladies and Camila must compete against one of her only friends in the house, Katie. The two girls might be a good match in size, but Camila's strength proves best as she sends the battered vet home. While the Red Team celebrates getting back both players, Chet lies in the hospital.

- Weight loss requires adopting healthy eating habits that leave you feeling satisfied.
- Carbs and fat are not the enemy. Both have their place in a healthy weight loss plan.
- If you want to make weight loss easier, you need to move your body. Exercise is key.
Losing weight is no easy feat. With thousands of diets and fitness trends to choose from, it's no wonder many Americans struggle to drop the pounds and keep them off.
In order to get the real scoop on the weight loss tips that actually work, I spoke with two nutrition experts to see what they had to say about the best ways to transform your body and your health.
Overcome carb confusionMarina Burrascano/Shutterstock
Confusion about carbs is common when it comes to discussing weight loss.
"We often forget that fruits and vegetables are carbs too, but they are healthy complex carbs," Dr. Taz Bhatia, author of "Super Woman RX," told Business Insider. She recommends limiting your consumption of bread, pasta, and rice to one serving per day and increasing your complex carb consumption with foods like vegetables, oats, quinoa, lentils, or beans.
She also stressed the importance of paying attention to all sources of sugar. "Don't just think about added sugar, but fruit sugar, sugar in alcohol, and hidden sugars in sauces and dressings," Dr. Taz said. She said your total sugar budget should be under 40 grams per day.
Salt cravingsAlena A/Shutterstock
That bag of chips you polished off last night is not just full of empty calories (six chips can have over 100 calories) — it's also a salt trap. Dr. Taz said that salt, like sugar, can affect insulin resistance and cause weight gain, high blood pressure, migraines, and more.
Up your fatAP Images
Fat is not the enemy — rather, it's certain types of fat that causes problems. Research shows how the right balance of fat can actually prevent us from overeating, as Dr Taz points out. That's why you should drop the trans fat, go light on the saturated fats, and instead, opt for monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats.
Good sources of monounsaturated fat include olive oil and avocados, and sources of polyunsaturated fats (omega-3 fatty acids and omega-6 fatty acids) include salmon and flaxseeds.

Tiny Creature Washes Up On Shore, Clinging To Life. Curious Couple Inches Closer…
- 9.1Kshares
- Share On Facebook
All sorts of things wash up on shores around the world.
Most of it, unfortunately, is junk or debris; and if we see it, we should probably do our little part to help beautify earth's beaches.
Then there are times when something entirely unexpected washes up on shore…and it's moving!
Dirk and Lori Morgan, owners of Morgan's Jungle Lodge and Morgan's Canoe & Outdoor Adventures, were exploring Costa Rica's Peninsula Beach after high tide.
That's when they spotted a small furry animal clinging to the rocks. It was barely moving and it didn't make any noise…what was it?
At first, the Morgans thought it might be a cat or a dog, perhaps abandoned by the owner and left to fend for itself on the rough beach.
But when the couple cautiously stepped closer, they realized it was an animal they never would've predicted to find near the ocean:
A young two-toed sloth!
The poor little guy was hanging on for dear life; it had barely managed to survive high tide and likely wouldn't survive another.
Furthermore, knowing there were plenty of stray dogs wandering around that might be hungry, the Morgans figured they should get the sloth to safety ASAP.
So, they carefully picked him up, rinsed him clean of all the salt water, and wrapped him up in a blanket to keep him warm.
Afterward, they whisked him off to a nearby animal rescue where he'll get some treatment, and doctors will determine if he's healthy enough to return to the wild.
Nobody really knows how the sloth got out to the beach (or why), but we're certainly relieved the Morgans found him.
The high seas are no place for such an animal! He belongs back in his natural habitat where he can thrive, so big thanks to the compassionate couple! 🙂

In light of AT&T's continuing challenge to support the iPhone and provide adequate coverage and service to iPhone users, TiPb asked our readers whether they thought Verizon could better handle the iPhone. Rumored to have been Apple's first choice, Verizon's advertising focuses specifically on the reliability and reach of their network. Could things have been different if Apple went with them instead?
The results of TiPb's poll to date are:
- 34% (901 votes) thought Verizon's network would be crushed by the iPhone, same as AT&T has been.
- 22% (604 votes) thought Verizon could handle the iPhone better than AT&T, but not without problems of their own.
- 22% (588 votes) thought Verizon could indeed handle the iPhone reliably.
- 17% (451 votes) thought no single network, Verizon or AT&T could handle iPhone level traffic alone, and that it needed to be spread out over several networks.
- 5% (142 votes) thought that it didn't matter, since they were outside the US and their carriers handled the iPhone with no problem.
Taken together, fully 73% ( feel Verizon would strain under the weight of iPhone usage as well
These results seem to match the consensus that iPhone users use more features and consumer more data than any other handset user, putting a significantly higher demand on cellular networks. In large cities or at large events, this demand can result in the network failing to provide service. Only building more network capacity faster, or splitting up iPhone usage over several networks, are likely to solve this problem.

New Finds: Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder
Alright beauty lovers I have found a new product that is really flattering to the skin and makes me feel I have a glow from within. Hourglass's Ambient lighting is a finishing powder that is suppose to diffuse and soften the way light reflects on your skin. I thought it was hype and figured that the colours may not be dark skin girl friendly, however the company states that the colours are universally flattering, and they did not lie. I did some research before I visited Sephora to take a peak and do some swatching on the product and I'm glad I did. The powder delivers a luminescent glow to the skin and enhances foundation minus the look of too much glitz and glamour on the face. The powder is very picture friendly too. I know a lot of woman of colour worry about that ugly cast some powders provide but this here does nothing like that. This powder is talc free, fragrance free, and gluten free! So anyone looking for a product that does not contain harsh chemicals this one is for you. The powders come in several shades which are suppose to provide a difference effect for a desired look. I felt like Ambient lighting was the best choice for my skin tone, however have watched Youtube and read other blogs and saw woman of colour opted for other choices. This cost a whopping $52 in Canadian but i do feel it is worth it for the results that i have received from it! Give it a try folks!

PA crossword puzzle: Israeli city Haifa is "port in occupied Palestine"
by Itamar Marcus

PA crossword puzzle:
Israeli city Haifa is
"port in occupied Palestine"
[Official PA daily
Al-Hayat Al-Jadida
, Aug. 20, 2016]
Itamar Marcus
A crossword puzzle clue in yesterday's official PA daily
Al-Hayat Al-Jadida
reiterated the Palestinian Authority ideology that teaches Palestinians to see all of Israel as "occupied territory."
Clue (9 down):
"A port in occupied Palestine"
"Haifa," (i.e., Israeli port city in Northern Israel).
[Official PA daily
Al-Hayat Al-Jadida
, Aug. 20, 2016]
The PA avoids expressing legitimacy for Israel in any borders by using euphemisms to replace "Israel." The official PA daily regularly presents all of Israel as "occupied Palestine," "occupied Palestinian Interior" or "1948 territories," and defines Israeli cities as "occupied" cities.
Recently, the official PA daily reported on an invention by Israeli Arabs who were studying in a university in Haifa. The PA daily defined the Arabs of Israel as "Palestinian students from the Interior that was occupied in 1948." Haifa, where they were studying, was defined as "the occupied city of Haifa":
"Three Palestinian students from the
Interior that was occupied in 1948
(i.e., Israel), who are studying software engineering at the College of Applied Sciences at Technion University in the
occupied city of Haifa
, have succeeded in inventing a small device that reveals the quality of the watermelon before the purchase."
[Official PA daily
Al-Hayat Al-Jadida
, June 28, 2016]
An additional example of the use of a euphemism instead of the name "Israel":
"Thousands of citizens from
occupied Jerusalem
and within the
1948 territories (i.e., Israel)
, and about 200 adults from the Gaza Strip, held Friday prayers yesterday at the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque plaza."
[Official PA daily,
Al-Hayat Al-Jadida
, May 28, 2016]
The following are two among many pictures posted by the PA Security Forces defining places in Israel as "occupied Palestine":

Recently, a PA TV children's program taught Palestinian children to see Israel's coast, referred to as "the [Mediterranean] Sea" as the Palestinian coast that the "occupation," i.e. Israel, "took:"
Puppet Raed:
"[We wear] sunglasses on the beach. La la la."
PA TV host:
"Stop, why are you making me sad, reminding me that we have no sea?"
Puppet Raed:
"We do have a sea (i.e., Mediterranean Sea)!"
PA TV host:
"We have a sea, but the occupation (i.e., Israel) took it. We can't get there."
Puppet Raed:
"We need to go there! ... "
PA TV host:
"Even though we can't go to the sea without an entry permit, and there are many obstacles to receiving an entry permit to go to the sea we will continue to defy [Israel] and be strong and hope that the sea and the [Jordan] River will return to us, and that all of Palestine will return to us."

The expression "all of Palestine will return to us" is a PA euphemism for the end of Israel.
Last week,
Palestinian Media Watch
reported on a PA TV song that presented Arabs from Israeli cities Haifa, Jaffa and more as "

How to Target your Customers with Facebook Advertising
Facebook is a social networking platform with millions of users worldwide. Connector recently published that there is a whopping 2.6 million Irish users on Facebook who spend at least 49 minutes a day on the social networking platform.
We teach you how to use Facebook advertising to target the exact consumer profile you are selling to
You might also recall a blog post we wrote on the pro's and cons of Facebook for a business which you can read here. An important benefit of using Facebook is the highly targeted advertising it provides for flexible budgets. It is a useful marketing platform for brands to engage with their audience on a daily basis.
Here's how Facebook advertising works and the benefits it offers for you and your marketing team.
Targeting down to a T
Facebook's advertising allows you to be incredibly specific with your targeting of your ideal audience. It is a cost-effective method of online marketing that provides you with the chance to advertise to your ideal customer. You can target by age, sex, location, interests, links to other Facebook pages/fans of other Facebook pages that you specify, languages spoken, behaviours and you can even upload email addresses of those whom you wish to target.
For example, if you are targeting the Managing Directors of SME's in Ireland who are typically male, aged 30+. Let's say their interests are business, marketing, enterprise, innovation, and finance. All of this important data can be inputted to the Facebook Ad Planner, and your Ad will then appear before the eyes of these defined users on Facebook. It also helps that Facebook Ad Planner is really easy to use and once you have launched one ad campaign, you should have no problem with the rest!
Facebook also offers you a guide on the potential reach your ad will have. This can be seen in the right hand side of the ad planner.
Making some €€€
Another powerful element of Facebook advertising is conversion tracking. Facebook advertising can also track conversions (i.e sign ups) and inform you how many people click on the Facebook Ad and then, complete the signup form.
Once you set up a conversion tracking pixel (this can be done via Google Tag Manager), you can determine how many people are coming to the site from social media and signing up to your newsletter or contacting you via the website contact form. This will enable you to show your boss fantastic results from all your social media marketing efforts!
Facebook Lookalike Audience
Another handy trick with Facebook Advertising is creating what is known as a 'Custom Audience'. If you have a database of contact details (email addresses or mobile phone numbers), you can simply import this to Facebook's custom audience option.
This enables you to target 'lookalike profiles' of these people on the social platform. These lookalikes are people who fit the criteria we specify and their profiles are built up because they are similar to our database (who we've already determined are the profile of who we're searching for).
An example we have shown here, is the list of readers of the Dara Creative blog. We could simply upload their email addresses and then Facebook can create a lookalike audience in a specified country that we want to target. Facebook themselves are great for offering tips and more information on Facebook Advertising. For more comprehensive information on the targeting possibilities, you can learn more here: https://goo.gl/Quci6Z
In a nutshell…
By running Facebook ads, you place your brand before an audience that you have clearly defined for a reasonable amount of money. Therefore, you are attracting the right people to your website to complete one of the following conversions:
- Buy your product/service
- Contact you directly about your product/service
- Sign up to your database
- Learn about your brand
- Like your Facebook page or Engage with you on Facebook
How we can help you
We'd like to help you with lead generation as part of your wider digital marketing strategy.
Some of our current clients who we have worked with on their Facebook Advertising are:
- Ziggurat Student Living
- Kate Cowhig
- Kilsaran
If you are interested in launching Facebook or any other online advertising campaigns, you can get in touch with us via our enquiry form on this page or email us at email@example.com or give us a call on 01 672 522.

Treetops at Midday
The pace has picked up in the last few weeks with new work on all fronts.
The Nashville Airport show was featured on WNPT's art break. Southern Living also did a photo shoot of Art at the Airport that may have included my work. I haven't seen it yet.
Jerry Dale will show some of the Airport paintings at Tag when they come down this summer.
I just sold two paintings to a prominent family in New York. :)
I'm beginning a series of new paintings for a bank opening in Nashville.
I finished Black Market Peep Show's 4 Song CD. Tight schedule and small budget but we're all happy with the results.
I'm producing a 10 song CD for Michael Hunter.
I've joined Billy Swayze and Black Market Peep Show for rehearsals and a few performances over the next few months. We have a tentative booking for an afternoon slot on the mainstage of Bonnaroo in June. To prepare, we're playing a few gigs between now and then. The first confirmed date is May 11 at Exit In in Nashville.

Oh, Guyla, didn't you know if Liz was your Secret Dorista Valentine that you would get chocolate of some kind. And, your cookies look delicious.

I have eaten every single one of Susan's Giant Ginger Snaps this week. Seven days. Twelve Giant Ginger Snaps. Don't even feel guilty. Happy Valentine's Day, my dear.ReplyDelete
Aw, you're so sweet, Guyla! I was so pleased to get your name for this exchange...and Mary is right, it had to be chocolate :)ReplyDelete
