How Much Should You Pay A Real Estate Photography Contractor?
March 4th, 2015
Chris posed the following question yesterday:
Our real estate photography business has grown quite a bit and I am anticipating needing to have 1-3 photographers on call for the busy spring / summer season. Does anyone have a recommendation of what to pay? I am scheduling the shoot and delivering the shots. I just need to pay for onsite photography and editing. I have paid 33% of the package price. Others are asking for $25 / hour. Anyone have a system that works well for paying? I'm talking sub-contractor work, and they have their own gear.
Excellent question! The big tour companies pay as little as $30 to $50 a shoot which most will agree is too low. I see from your site your basic shoot price is $249. I suggest that 33% to 50% of the billed shoot price would make sense. Although this only makes sense because your shoot price is relatively healthy. If you were charging $100 a shoot you'd be down there with the big tour companies. I'm sure where the $25/hour is coming from is average earnings data.
- Travel costs shouldn't eat up the contractors wage. Establish a service area outside of which you charge extra. This would control travel costs.
- I think contractors should be payed for the quality of work and reliability. That is, start someone at a lower rate until they demonstrate their quality of work and reliability. A contractor that can deliver the quality you want and be dependable is very valuable to your business and should be paid more.
- You should track what a contractor is doing to the point you know approximately how much per hour they are making even though you aren't paying them by the hour. I think a business owners should know if contractors are making a living otherwise you could loose good people. Many newbies would take on a contracting job like this and not even knowing if they were loosing money. Many cities in the US (Seattle, Portland, Minneapolis, Chicago) are moving towards a minimum wage in the area of $15/hour.
- I would be concerned with maintaining a consistent high quality product that you show on your site when you are hiring short term temporary contractors. I'd establish some quality standards and do some training so you make sure you keep your quality high.
How are others out there deciding what to pay real estate photography contractors?

All manufacturing companies struggle with the need to maximize quality and performance, while continuing to minimize costs. However, there is no 'magic bullet' to achieving excellence.
Innovation can lead to excellence, and can be derived from different parts of an organization. People, process and technology are important tenets to explore for alternative designs and solutions in the pursuit of excellence. The ability to come up with alternate designs and methodologies, and assess the opportunity cost of not improving processes on your shop floor, is the first step into increasing visibility into the entire business for lasting and substantial change.
This solution sheet outlines important ways to accelerate productivity, increase output in your operations, and achieve sustainable excellence in manufacturing, including:
- Automating business processes and establishing greater visibility into the productivity of your plant operations
- Cultivating a synergistic culture through leadership, in order to form an organization and an environment based on combined strengths concepts and skills
- Introducing new methodologies such as Lean manufacturing that will help innovate change, streamline operations, reduce waste and improve costs

Families now have many options for diapering their little ones. While cloth diapering may be the best option for many new moms, we decided to use disposable diapers. We were able to make this cost effective and easy.
Below is a checklist of what we use to keep bottoms dry and costs down:
- Diapers. I like Huggies and get a great deal on these at Costco. They often have $6 off coupons or have $6 off sales on their Web site. I get a giant case of Huggies for just $32.99 on sale.
- Wipes. I also buy Huggies wipes from Costco.
- Vaseline. This is a gentle diaper cream for newborns. It's also good for their cord stump.
- Diaper rash cream – zinc oxide. This is helpful for a bit later, especially once they start solid food.
- Diaper rash cream to prevent diaper rash – (like A&D). I like this gentle cream for everyday use once they're a bit older.
- Diaper pail. Just before my baby shower, my sister begged me not to register for the Diaper Genie. She told me a story about how badly theirs smelled and how they eventually burned it in the back yard (they live on a farm). Her complaint: The refills are expensive, and it takes a few weeks to actually fill them up. So your child is sleeping in the same room as stinky diapers for a long time. I decided to try a regular diaper pail that would take cheaper bags that I could empty at any time. I went with the Baby Trend Diaper Champ Deluxe. This has been a cheap system for me, and I keep it smelling great. I use store brand scented kitchen bags from Walmart as a liner, and I wrap each diaper in a scented diaper bag from Dollar Tree (75 bags for $1)—making my own Diaper Genie of sorts. For dirty diapers, I flush the contents if possible, wrap the diaper in a disposable diaper bag, place that bag inside a plastic grocery bag, and throw it in a regular garbage can in the garage. I put air fresheners at the bottom of the diaper pail and the garbage can in the garage. This is so much cheaper and better smelling than the Diaper Genie, which has expensive refills, and which you only empty every few weeks. I empty my diaper pail twice a week and never place any dirty diapers in it.
- Sanitizing wipes. We use the store brand from Walmart, but any brand will do. I use these to wipe the changing pad after a dirty diaper change.
- Diaper bag. We like the Skip Hop Deluxe, which is compact, sleek, and manly enough for Dad to carry.

Ralph Ellison & Other Banned Authors
Published in 1952, Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man was immediately lauded as a masterpiece of American Literature. An ambitious but humorous novel, it tackles weighty issues, such as black identity in a predominantly white society, the conflict of self-perception, and the rejection of ideology. The following year, Invisible Man earned Ellison the National Book Award, and, since then, the Library of Congress has classified the novel as one of the "books that shaped America."
On September 16, 2013, just a week before the start of the annual Banned Books Week campaign, which celebrates the right to read, five North Carolina school board members voted to ban Invisible Man from Randolph County school libraries due to objectionable language and sexually explicit material, with one board member also stating that he "didn't find any literary value" in the novel. After a national and international outcry, the board members relented and restored the book on library shelves. In honor of both Ellison's masterful novel and Banned Books Week, here are five authors whose works have been frequently challenged or banned.
Mark Twain, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Samuel Clemens, better known by his pen name Mark Twain, was and still is one of America's most famous humorists. Born in Missouri in 1835, Twain wrote comical and often irreverent fiction and essays that challenged conventional notions of morality and social order. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which chronicles the journey of a young boy and a slave down the Mississippi River, has often been called the Great American Novel. In fact, Ernest Hemingway once said that "All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn." That's not to say that everyone approved of it, though. Schools and libraries have attempted to ban the book since its publication due to its depictions of race and slavery, and scholars disagree on whether the novel rails against racism or is racist in itself. The dreaded N-word appears 219 times throughout the book, and that fact alone has kept it out of many students' hands.
Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451
The fact that Fahrenheit 451 has been banned and censored undoubtedly shows that irony is not something that everyone can understand. The dystopian novel, published by fantasy writer Ray Bradbury in 1953, revolves around Guy Montag, a "fireman" whose job requires him to burn the property of people who read banned books. Throughout the novel, Montag comes to understand the consequences of state-based censorship. In 2006, parents of a tenth grade student in Texas demanded that the novel be banned from their daughter's class due to offensive language, violence, a scene involving the burning of the Bible, and its overall portrayal of Christians. How about that for irony?
Toni Morrison, Beloved
Let's be clear: Toni Morrison, originally Chloe Wofford from Lorain, Ohio, is one of the best writers in the world. Morrison has won both the Pulitzer Prize and the Nobel Prize. Last year, she even received the Presidential Medal of Freedom. One would think that school boards, teachers, and parents would want students to be exposed to such a brilliant mind, but this is not always the case. Beloved, Morrison's most well-known novel, has been frequently challenged and banned since it first appeared in 1988. The novel, which follows the lives of former slaves who have escaped in the antebellum South, is both beautiful and haunting. However, Beloved gives those with book-banning inclinations the fuel they crave: infanticide, bestiality, racism, sex, violence, and profanity.
J. D. Salinger,
The Catcher in the Rye
Famous recluse J. D. Salinger wrote The Catcher in the Rye in 1951. Between 1961 and 1982, it became the most censored and banned novel in the United States. Told through the subjective eyes of its 16-year-old narrator, Holden Caulfield, the novel focuses on the themes of identity, angst, and rebellion (hence its popularity with teenagers). Calls for banning the novel usually revolve around Caulfield's vulgar language, but a host of other complaints are typical: the encouragement of rebellion, the undermining of family values, blasphemy, the promotion of promiscuity…we could keep going, but you get the idea. Although it is frequently cited as one of the best books of the 20th century, Salinger's only novel will certainly face opposition for the foreseeable future.
Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five, or the Children's Crusade: A Duty-Dance with Death
With one of the more memorable full titles around, Kurt Vonnegut's satirical novel Slaughterhouse-Five is consistently regarded as one of the best novels of the last 100 years (Modern Library currently ranks it at number 18 out of 100). Part semi-autobiographical World War II novel, part sci-fi romp through time and space, Slaughterhouse-Five defies conventional literary norms and explores issues such as fate, free will, and the illogical nature of humans, all while being a hilarious, heartbreaking, and gruesome look at human experience. The novel has been frequently challenged by courts and schools due to profanity, sex, and its blasphemous tone. In 1972, just three years after its publication, a circuit judge banned Vonnegut's novel, calling it "depraved, immoral, psychotic, vulgar, and anti-Christian." Slaughterhouse-Five continues to be a wildly popular and influential pillar of American fiction.

Extending the experiential adult learning cycle: a Hologram?
Friday, January 26, 2018, 10:08 AM - Adult and Popular Education
A key element of transformative learning is experimenting with real-world problems. David Kolb's experiential learning cycle continues to be central. Yet cycles, even spirals, don't capture the dynamism now possible with online and blended learning. Frames have never had more possibility to engage with such a complex range of realities and inter-sectionalities. But emergent paths are also unclear and frustrating, subject to norms. How to bring critical pedagogy (andragogy) to these spaces? Working on a paper to extend the learning cycle with a hologram which helps to capture online multi-dimensionality.
Holographic visualization offers multiple dimensions, movement, refraction, doubt. Likewise, online learners can be supported to move freely where they find meaning between their online community and their own deliberations. All the while, they are embedded in life and work. This shared reflexivity and muddling is key to the transformative potential of online learning. The lag between insights and experimentation, negotiation is gone. The space also collapses gender and power dynamics in interesting ways as learners shape their own paths and voices at their own pace for reflection. Framing is even captured to better support both self-directed and collective learning. Facilitators and peers can act more like coaches, real-time in real messiness.
Self-actualization through dance- conflict is vital
Friday, December 29, 2017, 12:41 PM - Inspiring
Met an inspiring dancer/professor, Jo Blake, at a meditation/yoga retreat in Nepal. He uses dance and movement in community. He introduced me to Crystal Pite who also uses dance and theatre to work through trauma, freedoms, self-actualization. I've really come to realize, in my work, that these forms and explorations are so critical to our collective analysis and action. The spaces it opens for connection, healing. We are somatic, individually and collectively.

Dragon flies in drag
over river spits,
mustard grasses,
tissue wings
zim hummering.
Their needled bodies
threaded beads, azure
hyphened by ebony
to the period of their
tails. Tumid eyes to tips
to eyes, waging circles
where another begins,
where mist and sigh,
early sky shaking its wings,
water below splitting,
spreading hemispheres
a slow spinning blue

Changing the gender narratives
Friday, December 1, 2017, 11:42 AM - Adult and Popular Education
Working with The Story Kitchen and the Coady Institute in Nepal co-facilitating with an inspiring leader, Jaya ji Luintel, who heads up this organization. Increasingly, I've found in my work that technical solutions around alternative economic or community based models bump up against gendered social norms. Turning more and more to address these issues where media, artists, elders play such important roles. Jaya ji and I facilitated on the Rao/Kelleher feminist framework for change that has so grounded my work around gender and power. We met in a feminist leadership course at the Coady Institute.
From their site: "The Story Kitchen (TSK) is driven by the passionate belief that upholding the stories of women can unravel systems of gender oppression and patriarchy that continue to exist in Nepal. The domination of stories from men's perspectives leaves women out of the history of Nepal and fails to recognize the extent to which women are currently contributing and have always contributed to the development of the country." TSK works with women of different castes, ages, communities to share their stories nationally. They also train justice reporters. Their work with survivors of armed conflict, particularly the self-formed network that came out of it, has led to meetings with the Truth and Reconciliation Council as well as a special meeting with the President.

There is a stunning wilderness area just an hour north of Bridgewater. One of the prettiest campsites in the Province. One of the starriest nights I've ever seen in Nova Scotia. Great trip with Maggy and earlier in the year with Oliver and Maggy.

Where did ID's go?
I took them off around midnight PST because I didn't actually see a real reason to have them on right now. I mainly was going to do it for a night but forgot to take it off the next day(busy getting ready for a wedding)
Alright. I found it useful when talking to multiple nameless people at once, but it's you're board so I won't fight you on the choice.
Bebop is a fucking cuck
How many people would you say were doing that? I only ever really saw two and one of them just put a trip on yesterday. I could turn it back on if it's actually useful.
Says the biggest cuck in the thread
Better a cuck than a crumpet strumpet.
I sometimes can't tell people I just recently got to know by avatar, or name changing, or anything like that. I would do what you think works as turning them on might just cause more drama from tards like TP and such. And I don't want you to go through BS for my sake.
no trip
lol cuck
Blood chan must be sucking that dick pretty good now.
I mean, when are they not?
she's alright for a 17yr old. could be better
eh I've been getting bs everyday lately and it's not really done anything to me.
too busy doing irl things then getting home to play vidya
brb forza
It's good to see you don't let administrative bullshit affect you negatively.
biggest cuck in thread is bebop by far
he's probably crying in voice chat to bc
Squash, you there?
I'm almost always here.
Cupcake said that I need to ask you about an invite to the discord to play overwatch.
oh god you really invited cuckwork dude
he doesnt even mic
Do you guys use voice?
It isn't like I'm being exclusive.
If he want's to play let him I guess.
Usually. It would be best if you do as well when you play with people.
Well, there's 2 more posters I can say I've seen dick from.
That's old as shit tho
I guess it wouldn't hurt.
we became way too inclusive when we let in the antagonistic luka
There's a lot of shit talking as well, so you can get in on that.
Luka is not and will not be in the voice chat as long as I remain residential Overwatch head hancho.
you just gave him a link to the discord
whos that handsome guy at the bottom right?
Did Luka join?
the australian one did
I only don't want ACTUAL Luka to join.
speak for yourself
I mean.. I guess.. but gossip isn't too much of my thing.
Though I don't like to use voice around some people so hopefull they don't join.
Squash is mean
gossip isnt too much of my thing
gossip isnt much of my thing
gossip isnt much of my thing
gossip isnt much of my thing
gossip isnt much of my thing
gossip isnt much of my thing
gossip isnt much of my thing
gossip isnt much of my thing
gossip isnt much of my thing
gossip isnt much of my thing
gossip isnt much of my thing
gossip isnt much of my thing
gossip isnt much of my thing
I mean, mate it's hard to explain, mate.
It's just like one day you'll just be with your mates having a look in jd and you might fancy curry club at 'Spoons, but your lad Calum who's an absolute ledge and the archbishop of Banterbury will be like, "Brevs, lets have a cheeky nandos instead", and you'll think, "Tops. Let's smash it."
Just mute if you don't like them I guess.
keep in mind that clockwork says he doesnt have a mic and nobody has ever heard him speak
its just a play to cause drama when he'll play and not mic
Do you have the one where I cut my thigh with some old ass dull knife while drunk as fuck cause Kon was calling me a bitch and said I wouldnt do it?
I don't see how it would cause drama if he talks or not.
The only reason to dischord IS to mic up.
Cuckwork is being a typical drama queen by doing this. Being a little spy cuck.
see scoot's post
How 'bout a cake fart for daddy, Scoot?
I guess so. Is there like specific times you guys play?
Cuckwork as done this for literally years, weedle into other people's groups and then sabotaged them. He is a social termite.
Someone literally just says they want to play and people rally up.
Ha, Luka tried to join the group.
bullying luka
Oh neat. Alright.
I'm a worthless drunken faggot! T^T
leave luka alone
What characters do you play?
you're making her cry

A thousand monkeys pounding on a keyboard can result in something, it seems.

Well this jus increases my interest in watching REZero. Sometimes I need some nastiness.
Spirit animals not for lewding
Spirit animal is semen demon

You don't have to same fag for yourself.
We know it's you, babe.
I've been partial to cute stuff myself. Been getting into Amaama to Inazuma and hakumei-to-mikochi.
Cute and wholesome. Got my seal of approval.
Yeah, for guiding big fat weiners.
If he weren't an Asukafag he'll be perfect
I would sorta agree but I'm not sure if you're Scoots in disguise and wanna say no to spite him.
He is pretty cool though.
tfw been up for 2 days straight
Just opened my second 40
You can keep it up for 2 days straight?
im jelly
a flag won't be forced on people and you can even choose from a list of them! Erio is the only contributor to the flags so far. once I can upload the rest he's given me I'll probably make it custom flags and let people send me more they want in
feel free to send any to me that you like/think should be here
Custom flags?
We can make our own?
Thanks, though it was yesterday.
try harder
Hurry the fuck up
Why would we need custom flags?
Wanna find out?
effort is my biggest weakness tho
servers are fucked
idk lol a couple people have wanted them and flags aren't something really needed in the first place. i figure at least doing it for a day to see what people think of it would be okay.
people complain about this place not being like 4chan as much yet i got 4 people flaming me as soon as I turned flags off earlier.
I appreciate those kind words anonymous whow as not me.
Can flags have transparencies?
What are the things we need to make our own?
Size of image?

Don't you love it when evidence of your efforts come back to you in a positive way? My five-year-old son, William, surprised me with the greatest little nature craft the other day. After gathering supplies on a trail walk with Daddy, he came up with this idea completely on his own. When I said "this is SO cool, I think we need to write a blog about it" he practically jumped for joy. So here it is, in the thick of summer even though it is really more of a fall craft... oh well, his excitement is more important than keeping things seasonally specific.
Here are the instructions from William: First, you go out and look for a pinecone and then find a maple leaf. Use tape to wrap the top middle point of the leaf around the pinecone and secure the tape to the leaf's stem. Then "write a smile on it" and there is your bat!
|And there is my boy! Love him sharper than the sharpest bear claws (as he likes to say).

I met John when we first moved to Minnesota and we have been friends ever since. In one word, John is a gentleman.
He has a soft spot for our two little guys. Isn't Kai's smile priceless?
Sue and I met when I worked for the St. Paul Companies. We have been friends a long time. Sue is one of those people that you invite to your cabin and you feel like she is hosting you! She brings all these wonderful bake goods, brings dinner one of the night, she is a workhorse and she is extremely helpful with the kids. I was giving Kai a bottle and Sue sat down and said "ah I think I will sit down and relax a few minutes". She sat for less than 60 seconds! I said, I thought you were going to relax and she said, "I did!". Friends like Sue make me feel very lazy!
Johanna is a foreign exchange student from Germany who is staying with Sue and Dave. She had gotten here on the Thursday before Labor day and this was the following Saturday. I have never seen three people more comfortable with one another, Sue, Dave and Johanna just hit it off instantly. It was amazing! Johanna was fabulous with the kids! Bei fell in love with her! I wish I could have kidnapped her for the year, they definitely hit the jackpot with her. Bei still asks when we can see "that girl".
Dave makes the best ribs in the entire world! He is always amazed at how many ribs I can put away. Honestly they are the worlds best! Dave was a drummer in a blues Band for over 20 years. Going to listen to Dave's band was one of the fun ways that we would spend our weekends before we had kids.
I wanted to share with you pictures of some of the friends that we have had up at the cabin this past summer. We are so blessed to have such good friends. Most of our friends we have known for 20 plus years.

1.1 What regulates M&A?
In Mexico, the acquisition of public companies is governed by: (a) the Securities Market Law (Ley del Mercado de Valores) ("LMV"), the rules and regulations issued by (i) the National Banking and Securities Commission (Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores) ("CNBV"), such as the General Provisions Applicable to Public Companies and Other Participants in the Securities Market (Disposiciones de Carácter General Aplicables a las Emisoras de Valores y a Otros Participantes del Mercado de Valores) (the "Circular"), (ii) the Ministry of the Treasury and Public Credit (Secretaría de Hacienda y Crédito Público), and (iii) the Mexican Stock Market (Bolsa Mexicana de Valores) ("BMV"); and (b) the General Law of Business Companies (Ley General de Sociedades Mercantiles).
1.2 Are there different rules for different types of company?
There are two kinds of Mexican companies whose shares may be publicly traded in Mexico, that is, (i) Publicly Held Companies (sociedades anónimas bursátiles) ("SAB") which are ordinary publicly held companies, and (ii) Publicly Held Investment Promotion Companies (sociedades anónimas promotoras de inversión bursátil) ("SAPIB") which are publicly held companies allowed to "go public" and given a period of time to fully comply with all the requirements set forth to be a SAB under the LMV.
The difference in the rules applicable to SABs and SAPIBs relate to corporate governance obligations, requirements to become public and maintain the company as a public company and the documents required to carry out a public offering.
Mexican companies whose shares are solely traded outside Mexico are not subject to the LMV. Mexican companies that were publicly traded but are no longer publicly traded will not be subject to any securities regulations, irrespective of the number of shareholders they have.
Finally, foreign companies whose intention is to publicly trade securities in Mexico will be subject to the same requirements and regulations applicable to Mexican companies.
1.3 Are there special rules for foreign buyers?
LMV and applicable regulations do not restrict or limit in any manner whatsoever the exercise of foreign shareholders rights in a SAB or SAPIB.
Please note that the Mexican Foreign Investment Law (Ley de Inversión Extranjera) restricts or limits foreign investment in certain activities, such as national inland transportation services (passengers and cargo) and certain technical and professional services, which are exclusively reserved to Mexican nationals or Mexican companies with a foreign exclusion clause. Other activities subject to foreign investment restrictions or limitations are, among others, domestic air transport, air taxi transport and specialised air transport, radio broadcasting services, local newspaper publishing, and shipping companies dedicated to the commercial exploitation of inshore navigation and coastal fishing.
1.4 Are there any special sector-related rules?
As a general rule, a tender offer to acquire a SAB or SAPIB will be subject to (i) the prior authorisation from the CNBV and the BMV, and (ii) obtaining clearance from the Federal Anti-Trust Commission (if applicable).
If the SAB or SAPIB is a regulated entity, such as a financial entity, the acquisition may be subject to notices or authorisations from the respective regulator.
1.5 What are the principal sources of liability?
The principal responsibilities of a bidder in a tender offer are (i) obtaining the corresponding authorisation to launch the tender offer, (ii) avoiding any act that may be deemed as insider trading or market manipulation, (iii) adhering to applicable market practices and customs, and (iv) refraining from entering into trading operations outside the tender offer.

RachidPrivate lessons in physics - chemistry. [Learn without effort]
Professor graduated with a degree in physics and chemistry, at Mohammed 5 Rabat University. I propose a simple and direct methodology. To understand a course and then respond to the problems in the exercises, the student must fully understand each problem encountered in an explanation, and discover the answer to the problem instantly, before moving on to something else. This can only be understood if the brain clearly sees and visualizes the rules and tools needed for the answer to come up. In the absence of which our mind encounters conflicts, and consequently it does not follow the orator, it is no longer attentive by what is said by the speaker; he therefore returns to an inner chatter or even sometimes outside. when a teacher demands the attention of the student, it means that the subject does not attract the attention of the student. My method is to help the student to understand the problem met instantaneously, to climb a mountain of problems, without any effort. by understanding a problem perfectly the answer arises alone, without will to premeditate ...

AG: Oh, sure. There's a whole sound (presented) in certain of these books, if you want the sound. These books by (R.H.) Blyth, he'll give you the Japanese lettering, he'll very often give you some phonetic transmission of the Japanese sound, as well as, incidentally, explanations, footnotes, and comparisons to Western poems.
Sound is important. It's a seventeen-syllable machine, with certain kinds of internal rhymes, and certain phrases like "ah", or "oh", or "kana" - "kana" - which are used for emphasis and filler of syllables. Filler meaning filler emphasis-isms.
Student: (I also recall that in Japanese some of them sound like (perhaps) another word)
AG: Right.
Student: (Sound. Content. Precision)
AG: And Blyth points out that you probably find more haiku in precise prose than you might in poetry, (or at least in the nineteenth-century poetry - Tennyson and the Georgian poets - that Blyth was brought up on - he, being an older man, who was brought up in 1910, reading British poets before Pound, before (Ezra) Pound's influence of sharpening direct treatment of the object). So he points out that prose probably offers more haiku than poetry.
However, the point of these that I'm reading is the mind-jumps, the mind-gaps, the space- jumps, the time-jumps, the two poles of image (one, and another that you fill in with your imagination, conjuring up in your mind space/time/compression), with the mother eating the astringent parts of the persimmons - that what is unnameable is conjured up in imagination by the coordinates in actual space and time perceivable (or space and time themselves are suggested in all their vastness by tiny coordinates contained within them). So it's the mind content, or mental content, or structure, that is perceptual (the structure of perceptions in haiku that I was trying to manifest with these), rather than the technical poetic aspects of number of syllables - seventeen - filler-words used, history of them, or assonance. There's quite a bit of assonance in them, and internal rhyme.
There's a repeat of one that I did before but in larger [form]:
Misty rain on Mount Ro, the incoming tide at Sekko
Before you have been there, you have many regrets,
When you have been there and come back,
It is just simply misty rain on Mount Ro, the incoming tide at Sekko.
And parallel to that:
This New Years Day
that has come at last
just another day.
New Years Day
the hot just as it is
nothing to ask for
The scissors hesitate
before the white chrysanthemums
a moment.
Does anybody have (William Carlos) Williams' Collected Later Poems here? Well, there's a Williams poem about.. "The Act", I think it's called:
There were roses, in the rain.
Don't cut them, I pleaded. They won't last, she said.
But they're so beautiful where they are.
Agh, We were all beautiful once, she said
and cut them and gave them to me in my hand.
The scissors hesitate
before the white chrysanthemums
a moment.
So, what's conjured up there? The scissorer is hardly mentioned. It's just the action, and seeing the action of the scissors themselves hesitating before the white chrysanthemums you have the whole philosophy of emotions. A whole philosophy of emotions and reactions and sensitivities and philosophies about transitoriness.
Similar to that:
Ah! grief and sadness
the fishing line trembles
in the autumn breeze.
You can take that any way you want - whether the wind is rippling the fishing rod, or the hand holding the rod is trembling.
I'm almost done with these, actually. tape breaks here

Project Life 2012 | Week Twenty-Three
4 comments:
Hi Allie, it's Whitney from W&M -- this project is so cool! How are you adding text and printing out the photos each week? I might just have to try this...ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Whitney! I add text using Adobe Photoshop Elements (I have 8.0). There are lots of great free fonts out there (dafont.com is a good place to start!) and I love experimenting with them. As for printing out the photographs: I use an Epson Artisan 835 and love the results when I print on Epson ultra premium photo paper. For weeks that I want to include large photos (8x10 or 12x12) or a collection of special photos, I have them professionally printed. Everything that I use is curated under 'Project Life' here: http://astore.amazon.com/dolcetconfec-20.Delete
Hope this helps! I am in love with this project; hope you give it a try! Take care! XO
Thanks! I need to get a new printer anyway, so I'll have to check that one out. I definitely need to give this a try!Delete

1. Saniel_Morse,
Hello there,
I share this suggestion regarding the forum posts, not the inbox. Sometimes we participate into a topic since it is interesting for us at some time, but there can be a time when we are not interested either reading about this or viewing the post into the latest participations section. So, what I can suggest is to add an option so that we can not see those topics all time. It might be difficult because that's a topic we've been participated someday, but this might help speed things quite a bit when navigating ammong the posts we are interested in.
Kind regards.

I hope you are enjoying your Tuesday! I have yet another Ulta brand polish to share with you today.
Ulta After Party is a clear base with micro red/orange, mauve, and silver glitter. On its own its very light; it really pops over black. The glitter disperses evenly and dense in just one coat. It can easily be layered on its own to be opaque.
Ulta nail polish retails for $6 at Ulta, in store and online. They always have a sale, so you never have to pay full price. I got this shade (along with several others) during their recent $2 sale.

An experiential journey of failures-past!
The Museum of Failure will treat its visitors to a shrine of history's epic fails by some of the world's best known companies.

The marketing catastrophe that was Bic for Her? Yup. The two-wheeled, self-balancing transport innovation, Segway? You better believe it. These, along with artifacts spanning from the 17th century right up to the present day, including the frozen beef lasagna by Colgate, demonstrate the types of failures the museum will showcase. Other highlights include the hula chair (just envision it), the Apple Newton, and even President Donald Trump's version of Monopoly from 1989 made the cut. With surprise Instagram moments all around, the museum is a family affair with failures for everyone from nine to 90. Come fail with us!

Sue Ultmann
Executive Assistant Manager and Director of Marketing and Communications for Baan Rim Pa Restaurant Group
HOW LONG HAVE YOU LIVED ON THE ISLAND AND WHY DID YOU MOVE HERE? My husband Tom and I came to Phuket in 1998 for three months after living and working in other parts of Asia, we loved it and decided to base ourselves here and basically forgot to leave. We both did other contracts both overseas and in Thailand, but kept Phuket as our base. Almost eight years ago we bought our house in Rawai and made Phuket home.
WHAT WERE YOU DOING BEFORE YOU MOVED HERE? Tom was a hotel GM, which took him to different places in Asia including Thailand, Malaysia and Philippines. I was fortunate enough be able to freelance for several international travel publications around Asia and helped launch the now famous Bangkok magazine The Big Chilli, mainly on the advertising and marketing side. So where he went I went and I still jumped on planes and travelled for work. Just over 10 years ago I joined Baan Rim Pa to handle the sales, marketing and P.R. and have been there ever since.
WHAT IS BEST THING ABOUT LIVING HERE? I would have to say the weather plays a big part. I hate the cold. Let's be honest, people come from all over the world for a couple of weeks holiday and some of us are fortunate enough to make our home. Phuket is now an international hub and you can jump on a plane and get to many places quickly and cheaply. It really is a pretty good place to live.
WHAT DO YOU DO TO RELAX? When I get home from work there is nothing nicer than sitting in our pool with a glass of wine and chatting with Tom about the day's events. Must admit, we do like to chill out in front of "his" big screen TV. We also enjoy eating in local restaurants and I cook quite a lot.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE CHILDHOOD MEMORY? Christmas Day with the family, singing and dancing with my Dad, who is now 85 and lives in Phuket, though his dancing days are over. I loved spending school holidays with my Nana Vera who was one of the sweetest people I ever met.
FAVOURITE FOOD OR DISH? Anything that's bad for me. I would love to be able to eat rich chocolate cake, expensive chocolates and creamy sauces. But, I am pretty careful with my diet and rarely eat those things. Probably my favourite cuisine is Italian, but I enjoy food in general. We are pretty lucky in Thailand we have a huge variety of great restaurants, not to mention Thai food.
WHAT IS THE BEST TIP YOU HAVE FOR PEOPLE MOVING TO PHUKET? Never put your money in someone else's name. Don't buy a bar or a restaurant unless you know what you are doing. Be respectful to people in authority as you are only a guest in this country. These are common sense and things you would do at home. It's no different here.
WHAT IS THE FUNNIEST THING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO YOU WHILE LIVING ON THE ISLAND? I'll never forget my 50th birthday when I went to play golf early in the morning and Tom had flown my son in as a surprise. John was waiting at the golf course and when I saw him I screamed loudly and jumped into his arms wrapping my legs around his waist. The caddies who new me well, all came running to see what had happened. At first they were shocked to see me in the position I was with this young guy!
Another amusing instance was when I did not have time to go to my usual hairdresser so decided to race into one at Jungceylon. Quick colour I thought! Five hours later and six attempts at different colours including bright yellow which then became a rather bright pink and orange mixture, I came out looking semi-normal.
THE PERSON YOU ADMIRE THE MOST AND WHY? I admire a lot of people for different reasons, some famous some not. I admire my husband for putting up with me for 24 years. I admire people who make a difference in the world and who do it from their heart, not for recognition. There are many of them.
FAVOURITE PLACE ON THE ISLAND, AND WHY? That's easy... my home. Because it's my oasis.

What can HYPR provide for my business?
HYPR offers a way to make influencer marketing easy. With HYPR, you can find and understand the social following of almost every influencer in the world. We provide you with easy, understandable, and actionable data in a quick-read format that will help you select influencers that can boost your marketing efforts and drive engagement.
What subscription plans are available?
We currently offer four different levels of subscriptions: Standard, Pro, Platinum and Enterprise. Please see our Pricing Page for all information on the costs and features associated with each level of subscription.
How does HYPR identify the influencers who are best suited to reach my desired audience?
Utilizing proprietary technology, the HYPR platform scans each influencer's audience, and analyzes gender, ethnicity, age, location, and other interests. That analysis is then used to identify the perfect influencer for your needs based on your search.
How can I utilize verticals and topics to help me identify an influencer?
Within our database, there is a wide range of verticals (or topics of influence) that can be used to target audiences in a variety of niche markets. (e.g.: Fashion, Health & Fitness, Entrepreneur)
Can I find influencers from a variety of countries?
Yes, our database currently features influencers from over 100 countries and the database is growing by thousands of influencers every day.
How can I contact an influencer?
With Pro, Platinum Enterprise subscriptions you can access each influencer's contact information to use for your outreach. If you want our team to manage the outreach for you, we offer the services of HYPR Collaborative, a team of in-house experts who are contracted to run campaigns on our clients' behalf. This team handles everything from ideation to talent procurement and execution.
If I choose to do a HYPR Collaborative campaign is there a minimum budget and/or fee required?
Yes, HYPR Collaborative requires a minimum budget of $25,000, as well as a fee of 20-25% for their work depending upon the scale of the influencer. For more info, contact our client success team at
I am looking for the best way to promote my product, what do you suggest?
Engaging with influencers is an artform and it's important to position your offer in a way that shows how the influencer is a natural ally for your brand or product. We offer Influencer Outreach Guidelines on our blog that can help you make the most of your influencer outreach effort. For additional assistance you can utilize HYPR Collaborative to manage your campaign on your behalf.
How does pricing work regarding posts and influencers?
Generally the same cost per thousand figures with digital marketing channels applies to influencer marketing, however when negotiating the fee keep in mind that these costs may be higher depending on the engagement level and overall amplification "power" of a particular influencer. This is largely impacted by an influencers size and reach. Should you need assistance utilizing your budget wisely, please contact email@example.com
Do you opt in influencers?
No, none of the 10 million influencers on our platform are opted-in. We believe that Brands come first and when you opt-in influencers there becomes a conflict of interest. Whenever is an influencer is opted-in for a platform there is typically an unspoken agreement between the platform and influencer that the platform should help the influencer make money. We, on the other hand, believe that we should be helping our clients make money.
What is Influencer Marketing?
Influencer marketing identifies and activates trending social media personalities to promote a product or campaign across various social platforms. Influencers are enlisted for their authenticity and their unique ability to endorse brands to targeted audiences, while remaining true to their unique voice. It is a beneficial partnership for brands looking to attract and retain new customers through a trusted source.

Kuwait Finance House, the country's second largest lender and one of the world's oldest Islamic banks, may sell some of its properties this year, its chief executive told Reuters on Monday. The bank may auction the properties or offer them to be run by other operators, depending on market conditions, Mazin Saad al-Nahedh said without giving details.
He also said KFH planned to cut tens of jobs as part of its restructuring plan, which would eliminate some positions. Some people would be moved to other subsidiaries. KFH said in early May that it was considering a possible sale of its Malaysian unit. That is the only unit earmarked for possible sale because it is outside the Middle East, Nahedh said.
The bank is restructuring activities ahead of a planned divestment by its largest shareholder, the Kuwait Investment Authority. A timetable for the divestment has not been announced.
"It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed."
"Envy comes from wanting something that isn't yours. But grief comes from losing something you've already had."

ANAHEIM — Bonnie Samuelson sat at the far end of the Edison High bench trying, it appeared, to fathom what had just taken place Tuesday night at Anaheim Arena.
The senior sat stunned among her teammates moments after the completion of the CIF Southern Section Division I-A girls' basketball championship game that pitted No. 1 Edison against No. 2 Troy, looking at the scoreboard, then straight ahead as if in total disbelief. She broke into a wide, almost incredulous smile, then took another look at the scoreboard.
Perhaps soaking up the moment.
Probably checking to see if it all was real.
It was.
"It happened so fast, that I wasn't sure if it was real," she said. "I really can't believe it."
In the waning moments of the game, Edison trailed Troy by a single point and the underdog Warriors held possession with 5.9 seconds to play. On Troy's inbounds pass under the Edison basket, Samuelson guarded the Warriors' Shelby Dougherty, using her wing span to prevent the 5-foot-9 junior guard from inbounding the ball.

KSL Collections on the Move This Summer
The next time you're browsing in the 3rd floor collections, you'll notice two things: Goverment Documents has moved out, and many items formerly in the 2nd floor Reference collection have moved up into the general collection on 3rd.
Reference staff used to be on the 2nd floor with a large reference collection nearby. With Reference librarians on the main floor, Reference working collections are revised:
• Quick Reference is near the reference desk & librarians,
• Core Reference is nearby on 1st (where the Scripts used to be, near the Keith Haring Dancing Figures sculpture),
• and the remainder of Reference from the 2nd floor is interfiled in the 3rd floor collections, where you can easily find them next to similar works.
Government Documents is revising also, and is moving to the 2nd floor area where reference used to be.
• A significant portion of Gov Docs is already on the 2nd floor.
• Atlases are now in the nearby GIS area, where you might use mapping software to complement your statistical research from the Government Documents collection.
Interfiling the reference collection occur over several weeks in June. When reference items are 'staged' in empty areas for interim shifts, the shelves are marked with signs like the one below. Looking for a reference title this month? Ask staff & they will help you locate it!

Grading and Giving Feedback
Time Saving Strategies for Evaluating Student Writing
This information was adapted from the following:
UC Berkeley's Teaching Guide for Graduate Instructors provides a helpful overview of strategies for responding to students papers. This site covers how to respond to student errors, formative and summative feedback, plagiarism, and time management strategies for grading.
In the age of data driven decision making and informed assessments, rubrics have become a popular tool for communicating to students the evaluation criteria that the instructor is using to grade a particular assignment. In addition to providing a framework for evaluating individual assignments, often times rubrics can be an integral component for assessing Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs).
Resources for Writing Assignment Rubrics
From North Central College, Jon Mueller's Authentic Assessment Toolbox website provides a general overview of creating rubric descriptors and levels of performance. The site also discusses the difference between analytic and holistic rubrics.
Heidi Goodrich Andrade's article "The Effects of Instructional Rubrics on Learning to Write" published in Current Issues in Education provides a detailed overview of using rubrics in eight grade writing classes. The research and examples are relevant to college writing as well.
Madeline Marcotte's article "Building a Better Mousetrap: The Rubric Debate" explores the controversy behind creating and sharing rubrics with students and provides suggestions for creating rubrics that avoid formulaic writing.

Eragon by Christopher Paolini
Eragon by Christopher Paolini One of the most popular fictional characters of the 21st century Eragon : a creation of the young SF writer Christopher Paolini , is not only the star of award-winning , best-selling novels , he is also the star of the upcoming movie whose title bears his name . I was lucky enough to sit-down with Eragon for the brief but candid conversation below
Q : What '92s it really like to be a Dragon-Rider
Eragon : Well , it '92s a lot like Mr . Paolini writes of it in the books The most exciting thing [banner_entry_middle]
for me was finding that first dragon '92s egg in The Spine . Nobody knew what would be coming out of it ! When Saphira hatched , it awakened my destiny as a Dragon Rider . This was both good and bad . My uncle Garrow was killed by the Ra 'zac and I have had to endure many hardships , but being a Dragon Rider is one of the best things in the world
Q : Do you think everybody has a special destiny
Eragon : Yes , I do . Think about it : my life changed overnight and so did the life of my author , Christopher Paolini , who was only a teenager like me , when our book Eragon was published . Now it is going to be a big Hollywood movie and in my own world – '97 we are reaching the climax in the fight between good and evil . Someone like me finds a simple blue stone , which turned out to be a dragon '92s egg , and I entered a world destiny and magic . Now , I have taken on the heritage of the legendary Dragon Riders ! And many people say the fate of the Empire rests in my hands . So , you never know when your destiny may call , or what it will be , but I do believe everyone has a special destiny Eragon Page -2-
Q : Can you tell us what the book Eragon is about
Eragon : It '92s about how I discovered a blue stone in the mountains which turned out to be a dragon '92s egg . When my dragon , Saphira hatched our enemies the Ra 'zac came to destroy us but we escaped . With our friend Brom , we tracked down the Ra '92zac , but got ambushed Murtagh rescued us , but Brom died . Later , I was captured and put in prison . Murtagh and Saphira rescued me – and I faced the Shade , one of the most powerful creatures in the land . Finally , I learned how Saphira 's egg came to be in the Spine where I found it , but I won '92t tell you
Our battle is not yet over – '96 there are two more books and movies to come . The adventure is really just beginning , so I think if you want to know what happens next , you should read the book… [banner_entry_footer]

>As anyone who knows him is well aware my younges son, Avery, is VERY obsessed with hockey. He lives and breathes hockey. A few weeks ago he was practicing his shots and was doing a shot where he was off to the side of the net, nearly even with it and making it in. He explained that it was called a 'Drewber' shot and that he had been told by his coaches the name was such. When I told Mike about it he had never heard of such a shot and is thinking he was mixed up but one never knows with that child!
Since then he has been practicing his wrist shot and his backhand:)

US President Donald Trump's sudden concern over Chinese jobs may indicate a realization that neither a failed nor a nationalized Chinese telecoms equipment maker would be in America's best interests.
It may also indicate just how important his meeting in Singapore with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un really is.
To recap: ZTE Corp. is a Chinese company that makes telecoms equipment and mobile phones. It previously broke a US embargo on Iran by using American chips in equipment it sold to the Middle Eastern country.
The Commerce Department found out.
ZTE agreed to pay a fine and punish employees in return for the US allowing it to keep buying American chips. ZTE paid the fine, but didn't follow through on the punishment.
The Commerce Department found out.
ZTE was banned from buying US chips for seven years. Unable to make its equipment without American technology, ZTE halted operations last week.
Trump found out.
For reasons that are the subject of speculation by political analysts and the Twitterati, Trump announced his support for ZTE and foreshadowed a way to get the firm back on track. Note this part: "Too many jobs in China lost. Commerce Department has been instructed to get it done!"
If ZTE were to fail, thousands of the nation's top engineers would be unemployed and ripe for the picking by China's vast technology sector including network equipment makers, surveillance companies and the military. A ZTE diaspora could conceivably seed dozens of startups that would challenge American competitors and US national interests. Alternatively, ZTE could be de facto nationalized via a Team China strategy, an idea I floated last week. This would be an even bigger challenge to US interests, because such an entity would be as formidable as Huawei Technologies.
Maybe none of this was on Trump's mind when he penned that ZTE tweet, which spurred a handful of Asian suppliers to rebound in early trading Monday.
It's possible his mind was on Singapore, and the upcoming meeting with Kim.
Trump is considered by some -- but not by all South Koreans -- to be instrumental in getting the presidents of the North and South together for a handshake and photo op last month.
Peace on the Korean Peninsula and with the US would be a good thing, and a denuclearized North Korea is a necessary part of that. There's even talk of a Nobel Peace Prize for Trump. After all, the Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded former President Barack Obama one just for getting elected on a platform of hope and change.
If Pyongyang is to agree to give up nuclear weapons -- and pave the way for some kind of deal with Washington -- Kim will need reassurance from Beijing that both his person and his country will be safe. Trump knows this. Chinese President Xi Jinping knows that Trump knows this.
But Xi won't tolerate Americans messing with Chinese strategic interests, including the pursuit of technology independence.
Enter ZTE, those Chinese jobs, and maybe an invitation to Oslo.

House Republicans have been trying to remove IRS Commissioner John Koskinen since before he was even appointed to the position. You may recall that Republicans were outraged(!) over his response to the fake IRS scandal even though the fake scandal began a year before he was named commissioner.
But Trump is in office now and the coast should be clear to remove Koskinen, right? Perhaps not.
Koskinen's term will end next month regardless, but at least some Republicans are angry that they were never able to forcibly remove him from office and they apparently believe he was allowed to finish out his term because he's seen Trump's tax returns.
Rep. Dave Brat of Virginia told Business Insider that the rule of law never applied to Koskinen, even into the Trump administration.
"The IRS was shown to be targeting groups — tea-party groups in my own district — it was proven and nothing happens to big elites," Brat said. "Because they know where bodies are buried on our side and on the other side and, unfortunately, the rule of law is not kicking in."
Brat also floated the idea that Trump did not immediately fire Koskinen upon becoming president because of an ongoing audit of his personal finances.
"I'm speculating on that, but what's one of the key issues with Trump? Tax returns, right?" Brat said. "So it makes you suspicious that it's so bad."
I suppose this is a conspiracy theory, but it's not being floated by one Trump's liberal opponents such as myself. This is a Republican conspiracy theory, or at least it is now.
Representative Brat says "nothing happens" to "the big elites" but, as I already pointed out, Koskinen was not the commissioner of the IRS when the targeting began.
The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration also just recently released a report concluding that the IRS also flagged liberal groups for extra scrutiny. Koskinen wasn't the commissioner when that happened, either.
The idea that Trump is afraid of what the commissioner could do with his tax returns is actually the most plausible thing Rep. Brat said. The rest is horseshit.
