Voice search marketing tools crept into our dining rooms and kitchen tables after claiming their command on navigation. While "Alexa, play Despacito" was just considered a fad to shed some light on the day-to-day irony amidst the total absence of good music, it was pretty expressive and a disruptive marketing campaign.
We might be amidst the brink of a breakthrough, since humans are practically fixated onto a glassed screen for their day-to-day entertainment and communication. While voice search was only limited to smartphones and tablets for a very long time, 2018 opened up some new avenues.
Voice features were introduced into different smart devices – many of which didn't have a glass screen for communication – making us more independent and reliable, nevertheless.
Since voice might be the generation of tomorrow, you need an exhaustive voice search marketing campaign to optimize the search tool and convey your point through.
Below are 6 thorough content marketing tips that will help you rule the world of voice with well, your voice, indeed.
1. Use Proper Sentences with Long-Tail Keywords
Most websites are optimized to cater to such requests, and would perhaps fumble around if you didn't string keywords together. For instance, if you're looking for the best nightclubs during your vacation in a new town, you might just put together 'Best Clubs Las Vegas' on the search engine and be amazed by the results.
Well, voice search marketing tools are more impressive and slightly done with your effortless routine. Alexa and Siri weren't designed to entertain your aimless search-engine requests. We all know how you sit back behind a glass screen – and just dab the first two words that come from the last two brain cells of your mind to virtually embarrass the search engine.
In order to make Alexa or Siri understand, you have to first accept that they rely on basic language skills. They would cater to your requests if you take the effort to use full sentences. For instance, if you had to dive in voice search marketing the same request, then you'd have to use, 'Alexa, where are the best nightclubs located in Las Vegas?' or something around those lines.
If you're the one handling the key optimization of such content, then you need to incorporate long-tail keywords so that your clients and potential leads can find their way through. Long-tail keywords are a shoo-in, since conversational tones are different than what people might consider writing through.
2. Keep a Simple and Conversational Tone
Since the usage of irrelevant jargon isn't necessary for optimum voice search optimization, you need to however, keep the conversational tone simple and authentic. Alexa and Siri might act as two bossy grammar fanatics, which is why you need to understand the dynamics of voice search before jumping on the bandwagon.
Good grammar, proper sentences, and a pretty useful yet simple conversational tone might help your users find their way through. Use an array of grammatically correct questions – those that are quite popular in your vicinity, and somehow allow the users to resonate with your website.
3.Understand the Dynamics of Proper Content Layout for a Great Voice Search Marketing Campaign
• What is Google Answer Box
The attention span of humans has reduced from 12 seconds in the early 2000s to that of four to eight seconds today. Since smartphones are to blame for this, Google had therefore, thought about it before you even did so that it can keep you hooked onto your devices for long periods of time.
If you didn't know about the Google Answer Box, then perhaps, you're probably not humming the right tune. Hummingbird is the ever-functional algorithm of Google Answer Box that probably plays more bars in order to relay optimum information to its users. It has optimized several questions and arranged the most obvious of all answers on its board. When a user types in a question that is high in demand, it is automatically answered by it to save time.
Similarly, in order to facilitate your users, you need to understand its algorithm and optimize your content layout in such a way that it is adapted for use thoroughly. Your users would prefer having an answer to their questions straight away instead of scrolling through pages to find their request shoved off to the end.
4. Categorize and Optimize the Content Layout of Your Website
For this purpose, you can use an assortment of keywords so that whenever a user says something relatable, your website would respond to it and answer accordingly. For instance, when you ask Alexa or Siri about the best nightclubs in Las Vegas, you wouldn't do justice to the query if you just add the name of your raving business on the search engine.
To answer this question properly, a club owner would have to optimize his layout in such a way that the content covers all basics and trademarks of his company in terms of voice search marketing. For instance, in addition to the name of your night club, add a location and pin it on Google Maps for users to find. Also add the timings with the most popular menus, events and other shindigs hosted at the club to facilitate your users maximally.
Most businesses might tend to search for other companies either to check out the competition or for possible mergers. In order to be more inclusive, try hosting and covering B2B Podcasts on your website to get on top of the hierarchy and to facilitate your users more conventionally consequently.
5. Technical SEO for Top-ranking Positions
• Cater to an Exceptional Organizational Hierarchy
The aforementioned gimmicks might fail to work if users are unable to reach your website in the first place. This might occur if it isn't enlisted on organic voice search engines and doesn't pop up in reference to relevant search material. Therefore, Alexa and Siri will not be able to help you out if your website isn't optimized to voice search and even basic SEO.
Local SEO might help to elevate the status of your website on search engines, but you'd need more than just that.
Technical SEO might help you make your way right beyond the top-ranking positions. All you need is a basic structured schema mark-up and HTML headings in your content layout so that it caters to the needs of your users far and beyond. Proper headings and a content layout with search-worthy keywords might help you to garner attention from voice search engines.
6. Reach Out More with Branded Smart Speakers
Similar to Google Answer Box, your company too, can develop a smart speaker application or voice search engine to specifically cater to the needs of users relying on this technology. Smart speakers are an epic way to reach out to their clients since it's branded and official, and most of the questions are already fed into the application with relevant answers.
Voice search marketing is expanding by the minute and might overcome all barriers of human enforced marketing strategies. AdWeek predicted that 2019 might see a rise in U.S based voice search users as 67 million voice search optimized devices are prepared and ready to take the online turf more aggressive.

The Red Devils sold the Portuguese international to Real back in 2009 for a then-world-record fee of £80m, and it could be that a similarly big-money offer could see him return to the Premier League.
Ronaldo has been a huge success at the Bernabeu, though it has recently been suggested that the club may look to cash in on him while they still can.
Still popular at United, there's no doubt Ronaldo's return would be welcome, and the Glazers are keen to fund this ambitious deal.

In a surprise twist to an NCAA men's basketball season disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, Northeastern will be playing the University of North Carolina at the Dean Smith Center in Chapel Hill, N.C., at 7 p.m. Wednesday (streaming on ACC Network Extra). It is a rare opportunity for the Huskies that developed in a span of hours.
On Monday morning, the Tar Heels—winner of six NCAA championships and producer of Michael Jordan and 97 other pro players—sent out a tweet asking if someone wanted to play at their place this week.
"Please contact us if interested," the tweet read.
Before he heard about that public plea, Jeff Konya, Northeastern's athletic director, was already working on a deal with North Carolina. His Huskies—like the Tar Heels—had suffered COVID-related cancellations and had no games scheduled this week. A couple of colleagues from Northeastern's conference, the Colonial Athletic Association, informed Konya of the opportunity.
"It's a who-you-know business," says Konya, who worked out the arrangements after conferring with Huskies coach Bill Coen. "We hammered out the details—the date, time, finances—in a matter of hours."
Last-minute logistics were handled by Lauren Tebsherany, coordinator of operations for the Northeastern women's basketball program, who booked chartered flights, a hotel, and meals for the Huskies. They flew to North Carolina on Tuesday and were planning to return to Boston Wednesday after the game.
"It's almost like a midseason bowl game, to use a football reference, where we're getting this experience that otherwise would not be in front of us," Konya says. "For us to schedule a program like North Carolina in mid-February—the chances of that happening in the future are almost nil. It's happening now because everything is so fluid because of the pandemic."
Coen and his staff were scrambling to develop a game on short notice.
"Our players are really excited to get out and see what we can do," Coen says. "This is one of the most successful programs in NCAA history, they have a Hall of Fame coach [Roy Williams], and they play in a league [Atlantic Coast Conference] that year in and year out produces NCAA championships and Final Four participants."
Though the Huskies (9-7) are young and undersized, they've emerged as a surprising March Madness contender while rising to second place (8-2) within their conference. The Tar Heels are having a disappointing season by their high standards (12-7 overall, 7-5 in the ACC) but will hold a huge size advantage over Northeastern.
This will be the teams' second meeting: In the opening round of the 1991 NCAA Tournament, North Carolina beat the Huskies 101-66.
"The big thing is to not overcomplicate it, to keep it simple and do what you do at the highest level you can do it," says Coen, who is hoping that the game will help prepare his Huskies for the CAA Tournament March 6-9 in Harrisonburg, Virginia. "You don't want to change too much because then your players won't play with confidence. So we're going to try to play Northeastern basketball and make adjustments on the fly."
Adding to the intrigue is that Coen stands one victory away from surpassing Jim Calhoun as the all-time winningest coach at Northeastern. What would it mean for him to set that record at North Carolina?
"I'd be excited to have the opportunity to even think about that," Coen says. "But right now we're just trying to concentrate on winning the game and getting better and trying to get some confidence as we head towards CAA tournament play."

Following the release of the band's self-titled debut release in early 1984, the Smiths were the new heroes of British independent music as they've become the band that disenfranchised youths have championed. Thanks to hit singles like This Charming Man, William, It Was Really Nothing, and Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now, the Smiths were becoming the leading band for a new British indie scene as they brought an alternative to the overly-commercialized music of artists like Phil Collins and Paul Young along with the left-overs of acts from the new wave and synth-pop scene. The band's cult following was massive that their label Rough Trade decided to release a compilation of the band's non-LP singles, B-sides, rarities, and BBC radio sessions for the fans to have entitled Hatful of Hollow.
Featuring songs written by singer/lyricist Morrissey and guitarist Johnny Marr, Hatful of Hollow is a compilation of material cultivated from the band during the release of their debut album. Featuring non-LP singles along with BBC radio sessions from John Peel and David Jensen. The album includes B-sides that proved to be popular with fans including one that would eventually come out as a single of its own that would break the band into the American underground/alternative rock music scene. While the album features various versions of songs from the first album performed in radio sessions including the original single version of their first single Hand In Glove. The compilation is a record that would prove to be essential to fans of the Smiths.
The album begins with the non-LP single William, It Was Really Nothing with its fast, shimmering rhythm with Mike Joyce's rumbling beats and Johnny Marr's flourishing, washy semi-acoustic guitar riffs. With Morrissey singing in a clam, tenor vocal style with lyrics about a man marrying a fat girl for nothing, it showed Morrissey's dark-wit in his lyrics that featured Marr's elgaic, chiming arpeggio melodies that would be the basis for the Smiths' unique sound. From a May 1983 BBC session with John Peel comes a rough version of What Difference Does It Make? with loud, pounding rhythm section from Joyce's drums and Andy Rourke's rumbling bass. With Marr's ringing, arpeggio guitars and Morrissey's rough tenor vocals. Though it sounds like a radio session, the track showed an idea of what the Smiths were sounding like before the first album. From David Jensen's June 1983 radio session is These Things Take Time, an upbeat song with a thumping, driving rhythm from Joyce's hard-hitting drums and Rourke's wobbly bass. With Marr's rich, arpeggio guitar washes, Morrissey sings in a clearer, dramatic vocal style with lyrics filled with carelessness and wit as it's a standout cut.
From John Peel's September 1983 session is This Charming Man that doesn't feature the song's original, famed intro as it's shortened a bit. Though the sound is clearer than their earlier session with Peel, it's clearly a song that is in development with Marr's intricate guitar playing, thumping rhythms, and Morrissey's distant vocals which sounds a bit high in the recording. Next is the classic How Soon Is Now? that was originally a B-side from William, It Was Really Nothing. The six-minute, forty-five second track features a vibrato-style of guitar playing that swoons to the smooth but intense drumming of Mike Joyce and Andy Rourke's sturdy bass line. With Morrissey singing in a calm, haunting vocal style, the song is filled with poignant lyrics of loneliness and despair that also features Marr's amazing guitar playing with arpeggio riffs and flourishes that is truly defining in its solos and vibrato presentation. Handsome Devil from the May '83 Peel session is an upbeat, driving song with Joyce's swift drumming and Rourke's bouncy bass line as Marr plays fast, jangly riffs to Morrissey's detached yet hollow vocals with dark lyrics that are filled with Morrissey's wit and sense of melodrama.
The single version of Hand In Glove opens with a fading intro of ringing, intricate guitar playing from Marr with the thumping rhythms of Joyce and Rourke. While Morrissey's vocal seems more distant than in the remix version, it's still one of the song's highlights as the difference in the mixes between the original single and remixed version on the band's debut is the fade-in intro and Morrissey's vocal mix. Still Ill from the debut album appears from the September 1983 John Peel session with its rough mix that features a chug-like opening rhythm and swift, mid-tempo signature changes with Morrissey's vocal sounding hollow. While it's a song that sounds closer to its final version from the album with Marr's chiming guitar melodies, it would show the promise the band would have in the year to come. The non-LP single Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now is one of the band's great songs thanks to Johnny Marr's flourishing, jangly guitar playing filled with washy riffs and intricate melodies during the guitar solos. With a mid-tempo rhythm led by Joyce's drums and filled by Rourke's hollow bass, Morrissey's dramatic vocal styles mixed in with his despairing lyrics are key to one of the band's greatest songs.
From Peel's September '83 session is The Night Has Opened My Eyes is a smooth, thumping track led by Morrissey's quiet, hollow vocals, Rourke's sturdy bass line, Joyce's slow drums, and Marr's spurting guitar riffs. With Morrissey's reflective lyrics, it's a nice song though its rough production tends to be its only major flaw. You've Got Everything Now from the June '83 Jensen session is an upbeat track with Rourke's wobbly bass line, Joyce's propelling drums, and Marr's washy riffs as Morrissey sings melancholic lyrics through his hollow vocals. With Marr playing rich, chiming melodies during the middle section of the song, it's a standout cut from the band. Accept Yourself from Jensen's August '83 session is another upbeat track with thumping rhythms that features breaking bass beats and a superb production that is clean as Marr's arpeggio, washy guitar playing really shine along with Morrissey's vocals and witty lyrics filled with despair.
The B-side track Girl Afraid from the single for Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now is a swift, jangly track with sputtering beats and bouncy bass lines along with Marr's melodic guitar swirls as Morrissey sings fearful lyrics with his calm, soothing vocals. Marr's intricate guitar playing and Morrissey's vocals are the highlight along with its swift, sputtering rhythms making it a fantastic B-side. Back To The Old House from the September '83 Peel session is an acoustic ballad featuring Marr's enchanting, melodic guitar playing and Morrissey's calm vocals sung with haunting lyrics about loss and nostalgia. From the Peel Session in May of 1983 is a rough version of Reel Around The Fountain from the band's debut album. With a louder drum mix and a more intense bass performance, Morrissey's vocals sound more engaging along with Marr's guitar playing though the mix of the guitar is in the background. The album closer is a B-side from William, It Was Really Nothing in the acoustic ballad Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want. The smooth, acoustic ballad performed by Morrissey and Marr has Morrissey singing poignant, nostalgic lyrics with Marr playing flourishing, intricate guitar riffs. Morrissey's vocals are the highlight along with a shimmering, rich mandolin solo from Marr that closes the song as it's one of the band's high moments.
The album was released in 1984 as it became a hit with fans of the Smiths. Yet, the B-side for How Soon Is Now? reached into the U.S. college radio stations as it would become an underground hit attracting the attention of Sire Records who would release the band's albums in the U.S. for the remainder of their career. The song would also be included as a bonus track in the American version of the band's sophomore studio release Meat is Murder. The B-side Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want would famously be covered by the Dream Academy that would make its most famous appearance in John Hughes' 1986 film Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Hatful of Hollow is an excellent compilation record from the Smiths featuring fantastic B-sides, rarities, and non-LP singles including the 80s staple How Soon Is Now? While some of the mixing from the BBC sessions might be a bit rough in some parts, the rare tracks are the reason for fans to have this record along with the B-sides since singles have now become a thing of the past. For fans of the Smiths, it's a record that is truly worth having as it's one of those compilations outside of best-of albums to have. In the end, Hatful of Hollow is a record that truly defines the brilliance of the Smiths.

Funny. Scorching. Smart. Romantic.
Asher Norrell is my dream man - hot, brilliant, and charming, every big, strapping inch of him. Too bad he thinks of me as a platonic buddy.
I mean, I get it. I'm no femme fatale. Nope, I'm the tomboy who shoots hoops with the guys, not the love bunny who sits on their laps.
But, oh, well. I guess it's all for the best. Because I just got engaged. Even if the marriage won't be quite…the usual kind.
I just wonder if Asher will be pissed when he finds out who my fiance is.
On the surface things are perfect. I'm sailing through college, I'm already successful in my field, I've got a beautiful girlfriend, and life is sweet.
To top it off, I have the best f*cking friend in the world in Charis Sloane, doctoral student, gamer, and honorary family member from way back. Sure, she's a geek, but so am I under all these muscles.
She and I connect via brainwaves. I don't need my bestie to be a girly-girl; I already have one of those to warm my bed. The important thing is, I have Charis's back and she has mine.
Good thing, too, because below the surface? My life isn't nearly as awesome as it looks.
Then Charis tells me she's getting married to…to…
Pissed? PISSED? Right, try livid.
Now I have to stop her, or we'll miss our last chance to make right what should have happened long ago.
A standalone college friends-to-lovers romance. No cheating. No cliffhanger. Yes HEA. Yes steamy. Yes dirty language.
The Job: Two weeks of personal hell in exchange for a five-million-dollar payoff. The rules are simple. Deception and betrayal could make it very complicated.

Trapped inside a converted warehouse with her ex-husband, his former mistress, her current boyfriend, and a man she can't resist, Sienna's troubles mount. When a mild curiosity leads to an overnight rendezvous, tensions in their confined quarters rise to deadly levels. Now, Sienna needs to find an ally, but who can she trust when she's surrounded by deviants and sociopaths?
Fiona was my first love and my best friend.
Ten years ago, I left without a word.
I never told her why. And I never got over her.
Now that we're thrown together under the same roof,
Will I finally have a chance to make things right?
Damn it.
I never would have opened the door if I knew he was waiting on the other side.
Cade Sawyer.
Sexy as ever. All muscles and raw power.
Our history runs deep.
Childhood friends. My first kiss... and heartbreak.
It crushed me when he disappeared ten years ago.
Now he's back... and my new roommate. Great.
Turns out, Cade has a lot of secrets.
First, he's a billionaire.
Oh, and basically a recluse.
Then, he saves me from a mad man.
He's not the teenage boy I knew... He's a f*cking alpha protector.
It feels so good when he keeps me safe in his big, tattooed arms...
A second chance may seem impossible for the two of us...
Can we keep playing house?
Or will our past keep me running?
The year before college was one of the best in my life.
Frank did things to my body that I didn't know were possible.
I craved him , knowing that he was mine.
It all started in a moment and it all ends the same way.
Frank left , cravings and all.
I knew that Frank was always going to be the one I compared every other man to.
Even though he was gone in the blink of an eye.
It has been 10 years since I saw Frank.
Ten years was a long time to wait for someone.
I knew who he was as soon as I saw him again
As soon as I heard his voice.
I knew I was in trouble.
I tried to ignore the way he made me feel.
I didn't want to feel anything for him .
But there was nothing I could do about it.
He had a way of making my body tremble.
Frank had a way of making my mind go numb.
With him it was hard to speak or think.
With Frank there was no saying no to him .
Frank had always had a way with my body.
He's always had a way with my thoughts.
I need him back in my life.
And more importantly,
I needed the man back in my bed.
I've made lots of mistakes.
But never one like this.
Back in high school, the girl next door spent a serendipitous night in my arms. But she wasn't my type or really up to my level.
So I walked away not knowing her secret—our secret.
Years later, I'm still at the top of my game, ruling my own chunk of the world.
She walks into my office a different woman. Strong, sexy, and dead set on revenge.
I need to walk away again, but I can't. She's a different person, and yet, all the things that first had me taking a chance with her pull me back in—deeper this time.
She's going to wreck my life, one bad decision at a time, and fuck me, I'm going to let her.
The fact that the little man who calls her mom acts like me stops me in my tracks. He even loves the same things I do.
Surely not.
No damn way I've been a selfish bastard and haven't considered the possibilities of our night together so long ago, but it's true.
He's mine, and I'm instantly in love with both of them.
I need one more chance, and I'll do anything to get it.
Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~ Weston
He's college football's biggest running back.
In every sense of the word.
But the only way he's going to lead us to a championship is if I'm his next big score...
Logan Wolfe is a football god.
He's also a cocky, arrogant jerk with a filthy mouth and muscles in places that shouldn't even be possible.
And for the rest of the season, I have to pretend to be his girlfriend.
It was the only way to save him from getting kicked off the team.
Now our whole school thinks we're in love.
And Logan thinks I secretly want him just as bad as he not-so-secretly wants me.
He swears that by the end of the season, he's going to have me begging for more.
But I won't give in.
No matter how dirty he gets, or how aggressively he tries to make me his, I can't actually jump into bed with him.
Because if I do, this nerdy freshman girl just might fall for the school stud.

I've never felt so welcome.
Then I met Logan. Her brother.
Playboy reputation. Star player. Gorgeous everything.
His sky blue eyes locked on mine and shot a love-struck bullet right into me.
I was so totally screwed.
If my best friend finds out, I'll be on her naughty list for good.
So she can't find out.
Except now I'm pregnant.
Time to run.
I never thought I'd see Logan again,
But there he is on the city street.
I know I should tell him the truth, but I just can't.
It's too late for us. We missed our chance.
Do we really deserve a second one?

I don't care. As long as I get the evidence to prove it.
Because I caught my former prick of a boyfriend from Heavy Metal Enthusiasts doing a groupie doggie style backstage on the night we were supposed to be celebrating our 1 year anniversary.
He told me I was too uptight.
Too vanilla.
Too boring.
So I got drunk with my bestie, Marsha West, the aspiring videographer. I ranted. I raved. I came up with a crazy idea.
What I didn't know was that my best friend recorded me. Marsha put the video up on YouTube. It went viral with 10 million hits. Now I've got fans and sponsors offering me big bucks.
Rock stars are volunteering to be my f*ck buddy.
Hollywood is calling.
I get to choose which rock stars I want.

What could go wrong?
My parents sent me to volunteer at an orphanage in Mexico, thinking it would keep their virginal, twenty-one-year-old daughter out of trouble for the summer.
Boy, were they wrong.
Because now I'm riding hell-for-leather in the back of a bullet-ridden police car, with the scariest man I've ever seen hunched over the wheel. He's nearly seven-feet-tall, tanned the color of leather, and he's wearing more ink than the catalog at a tattoo parlor - and I'm ashamed at how exciting I find him.
His name is Coyle, and he's everything my parents warned me about. So why can't I take my eyes off him?
I'm the leader of The Knuckleheads, and we rode down to Mexico to wage war.
Smashing a cartel of heroin dealers seemed like a cause I was finally willing to die for.
The last thing I expected to find was something to live for, instead.
But fate threw a beautiful girl into my path - into the back the police car I was stealing, to be exact - and now she's stuck with me. Because Izzie Fieri is the most beautiful, most exciting girl I've ever met - and I'll do anything to protect her.
But she's a virgin, I'm old enough to be her father, and I can't get her out of my head.
I want her SO bad, and it's taking every ounce of self control I have not to just take her.
Maybe the thing Izzie needs protecting from most of all...
...is me.

What our Customers say...
Commercial Testimonials
SERVPRO has managed to save my business from going belly up. I was still able to conduct business while getting my building remodeled after the flood. Thanks again for your stellar work ethic SERVPRO.
My floral business had a major water line explosion. SERVPRO was there by my side throughout the entire process. I'm extremely satisfied with the service provided by your company.
Our property management company always relies on SERVPRO when we have a problem. You're at the top of our preferred vendors list.
Music is my life and requires instruments. Selling them lets me interact with others but when the place flooded, I thought everything was lost. One of my regular customers mentioned your restoration company. Without your crew's dedication and hard work, I would have lost my family business.
My small floral boutique just started stocking larger plants and the new irrigation system malfunctioned. Glad you responded so quickly – you saved my inventory and the store itself. I'm reopened now and the place is thriving!
The oven smoking set off the fire sprinklers and ruined the stack of my Grandmother's recipes. I didn't know you had different specialists to take care of the smoke, my recipe cards and the water. Thank you for saving me from having to call three different companies.

I cannot WAIT to see Tim Burton's Big Eyes ! I'm obviously obsessed with art and artists {I still miss working at the art gallery} and I love a good scandal! I actually remember these stoic yet emotional prints hanging in homes when I was just a kid, because they were trendy at the time and affordable. Over the years I think many artists have replicated the look and/or have been inspired by Keane's big eyes. Marc Ryden, for instance, one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE ARTISTS creates candy coated dream worlds in his paintings, which look sweet and innocent from afar, but reveal a little more of a sinister glimpse up close. His creamy colors and dewy portraits have enlarged detailed eyes, though they're not as much of a focal point as in Keane's paintings.
Big Eyes opens in theaters tomorrow, but when I first saw the trailer I was determined to find a vintage little print of my own and scored a tiny tearful blonde on eBaby about a month ago. She sits on the shelves beside my desk, among the stacks and stacks of vintage magazines, and I adore her {scroll to the bottom of the post to see the photos}.
Many of my favorite movies include art, artists, or some kind of art scandal. How to Steal a Million and The Thomas Crown Affair, are two of my favorite movies of all time and happen to both story around art heists. They're both saved on my DVR for eternity because I just never know when I'll want to watch them again. I'm kind of hoping I can include Big Eyes to the list, because it really looks amazing!
Check out the Big Eyes Official Trailer if you haven't seen it yet, below…
Sadly, people don't buy "lady art" … Can you IMAGINE your husband or partner taking credit for ALL OF YOUR WORK?!?! There's no possible way I could handle that as well as Margaret did. On one hand, your work is getting out there, and making a living as an artist isn't easy AND Keane sort of kicked off the whole prints-as-art genre, which allows everyone to have some form of art in their homes if they wish. But on the other hand SHE DID ALL THE WORK! She was the talent and the artist!
Do you think this kind of thing could happen today, in modern society?
Learn more about Margaret Keane via her website: Margaret Keane – Eyes. Photos are screen caps from the Big Eyes trailer.
Margaret Keane now…
This Boston Terrier from 2007, Margaret painted is fantastic… I wonder if she would do a commissioned work of our French Bulldogs, Trevor and Randy? I doubt it, but wouldn't that just be BRILLIANT!?!? Eventually I'll have Luke Jervis paint them, and maybe even Nicole Newsted, because I just cannot seem to have enough unique paintings of our dogs in our home.
My new little Keane print…
Merry Christmas, Lovecats!
* Have a happy Christmas Eve and to everyone else, Merry Wednesday to you! Who else will be watching The Interview tonight?!?! Because we can't wait to get on that, lol! But also, BIG EYES 🙂

Microsoft Issues Empty Statement on Employee's Next-Gen Xbox Twitter Tirade
It's still a bit premature to start complaining about the next-gen Xbox being "always-on" for one reason or another, seeing as there's nothing official out just yet, but it hasn't stopped folks from expressing their opinion as to what they'd think of a console that constantly required a connection to the Internet. In short: They don't like it. On April 4th, Adam Orth, Microsoft Studios creative director, went off about these complaints on his Twitter. Microsoft has since officially apologized for his tirade, though their statement doesn't even come close to addressing anything about the "always-on" rumors that instigated it.
For those that missed Orth's little incident, NeoGAF has a fine summary. He basically downplayed the effects of "always-on" while also dismissing any potential downsides and inaccurately equating Internet service with the power grid. It was, to be frank, a mess, but he never specifically indicated that the next-gen Xbox, codenamed "Durango," would require an Internet connection.
Even so, Microsoft felt the need to apologize for his outburst. Here's their official statement on the matter:
"We apologize for the inappropriate comments made by an employee on Twitter yesterday. This person is not a spokesperson for Microsoft, and his personal views do not reflect the customer centric approach we take to our products or how we would communicate directly with our loyal consumers. We are very sorry if this offended anyone, however we have not made any announcements about our product roadmap, and have no further comment on this matter."
Wait. What? You're apologizing for his remarks, but not going to comment on whether this "always-on" thing is just a rumor? That seems like a poor decision. Then again, it could blow up in their faces if they were to announce that yes, the next-gen Xbox requires a constant connection hot on the heels of something like this.
(Major Nelson via The Verge, image via Antony Bennison)
- Next-gen Kinect specs
- There's been talk about the next Xbox killing used games too
- Microsoft E3 countdown clock could signal new console announcement

Syracuse police said the man entered the building Tuesday. At some point, they think he climbed into a crawl space and fell into a void in the wall of the men's bathroom.
Landmark Theatre spokesperson Mike Intaglietta confirmed that a man was seen entering the Landmark on Tuesday, but could not be found during a search of the building.
The Landmark workers figured he had left the building and stopped looking for him.
Friday morning, a worker at the Landmark heard the man's cries for help and called 911.
Firefighters broke through the wall and used a fiber optic camera to free the entombed theater visitor. He was rescued and taken to the hospital for evaluation.

Hawaii Crash Update: Tour Copter Hit Ridge, Then Fell
A Hawaii tour helicopter that crashed and killed all seven people on board hit a ridge at an altitude of 2,900 feet (883 meters) then fell about 100 feet (30 meters), the National Transportation Safety Board said Tuesday as investigators planned how to recover the wreckage from the remote and rugged crash site.
"A post-crash fire consumed much of the aircraft," the NTSB said in an investigative update. "In the coming days the wreckage will be moved to a secure location where investigators will conduct a more thorough examination of the recovered evidence. Details and timing are still being worked out."
The helicopter's commercial pilot and six passengers were killed in Thursday's crash. It was set to tour the Na Pali Coast, the picturesque and remote northern shoreline of Kauai that was featured in the film "Jurassic Park."
The pilot, Paul Matero, did not have an instrument rating, which allows pilots to fly in bad weather, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
"Most of the pilots that fly tour helicopters in Hawaii either don't have an instrument rating or their instrument rating isn't current,"said Ladd Sanger, a Texas-based aviation attorney and helicopter pilot who has handled Hawaii crash cases. "When you have dynamic weather conditions, where you have clouds and winds, it might be more prudent not to fly in those conditions."
National Weather Service meteorologists said the agency was not releasing information on Thursday's weather conditions on Kauai. Weather service reports from Thursday said late in the afternoon high pressure far northwest of the state would cause winds across Kauai to shift out of the northwest.
A team of investigators who arrived on Kauai will be looking at weather conditions, NTSB spokesman Eric Weiss said.
Investigator-In-Charge Brice Banning, from Alaska, flew over the crash site Monday to evaluate conditions and photograph the wreckage path, the NTSB update said.
The helicopter company, identified as Safari Helicopters, contacted the Coast Guard on Thursday evening after the tour did not return to the airport as scheduled. A search began but steep terrain, low visibility, choppy seas and rain complicated the search.
Company representatives didn't immediately return phone and email messages Tuesday.
The pilot's commercial pilot certificate would have had limitations on flying at night and more than 50 nautical miles.
Sanger said those limitations wouldn't have been issues in the crash.
The flight departed Lihue Airport at 4:31 p.m., according to the NTSB. and crashed about 4:57 p.m.

I was fortunate enough to attend the 2017 Scare LA Summer Halloween Convention. When I arrived I was surprised at how much its grown since I attended the last time. When we walked in, it was bustling with activity. On top of lots of cool venders with great Halloween/goth /sci-fi goodies there were some cool scary mazes, scifi/horror star signings, horror attractions and horror movies in a screening room in the rear of the hall. All free with admission. On top of all this there were industry panels as well.
I attended a panel for Universal Studios Horror nights. It was very entertaining for sure and filled to capacity. On that note, the overall attendance at Scare LA seemed to be great and it was definitely a fun crowd with lots dressed in costumes. I also had fun crowd-watching especially the entire families that were dressed up. I highly recommend this event and it's suitable fun for the whole family even though there were a couple mazes that were 18 and over. If horror and fun are your thing I would suggest definitely checking out Scare LA.

text: Achieving Ofsted outstanding for Quality of Teaching Written by: HTU | Published: 07 November 2013 Comment on this article Quality of teaching is key to a positive inspection outcome. In the second of our series focusing on Ofsted's four core indicators, Suzanne O'Connell speaks to four schools who have been graded outstanding for their teaching quality Without outstanding teaching you cannot have outstanding effectiveness. It was in July that the announcement came that the quality of teaching was to be even more closely linked to a school's overall judgement. The point was made by Sir Michael Wilshaw, Ofsted chief inspector, that if a school is to be outstanding and expected to work in partnership with others, then the quality of teaching it shares must be outstanding too. The new School Inspection Handbook (September 2013) has brought with it some subtle, and some not so subtle, changes to inspection practice. Perhaps one of its strongest messages is that it doesn't matter what teaching method is used: "Inspectors must not advocate a particular method of teaching or show preference towards a specific lesson structure." Teaching just has to be effective rather than following a set format. Another strong message reflects what we can expect from the new primary curriculum – an emphasis on "knowledge". During lesson observations inspectors will be looking for evidence of growth in knowledge. Pupils must "acquire knowledge" in the grade descriptor for "achievements of pupils at the school", and teachers and other adults should "authoritatively impart knowledge". Inspectors began using the new handbook during their inspections in the autumn term. The schools we spoke to had all been inspected in the first few weeks of the new handbook being applied. We wanted to know not only what made the quality of their teaching so exceptional, but also how our schools found the new requirements in practice. Introducing the schools Bedfield CE Voluntary Controlled Primary School is a small school in Suffolk with an average number of pupils eligible for the Pupil Premium. Its headteacher, Jill Overbury, was not expecting an inspection but the school was targeted as part of the focused inspection of schools in Suffolk. The school had been judged to be outstanding in 2009. Holy Trinity CE Infant School is another small school, this time in Nottinghamshire. It was judged to be good in its last inspection in 2008. Headteacher Kathryn Thompson was delighted that the school improved its grading to outstanding in September. Rachel Wallace has been in post as headteacher at Brabins Endowed Primary School in Lancashire for just over a year. Brabins already had an outstanding judgement from their previous inspection and, as a new head, Ms Wallace was understandably anxious to maintain the high standards. Wingate Infants' School in County Durham has an above average number of pupils who are entitled to the Pupil Premium. Marie-Louise Binks is also the headteacher of another local school and a National Leader of Education. Both schools had recently had an inspection which gave her a real opportunity to compare inspection styles. Collecting the evidence All the headteachers took the opportunity of observing with the inspectors and giving feedback. Ms Wallace at Brabins, felt that this was a key aspect of the inspection. Demonstrate that your judgement is accurate and inspectors will trust your judgements over time, as she explained: "I think if your findings agree with the inspector's then they are more likely to trust your other judgements in your self-evaluation form." Ms Overbury at Bedfield experienced the importance of the bigger picture when it comes to staff performance. Although on the day, an outstanding teacher performed a good lesson, Ms Overbury was able to demonstrate to inspectors from previous records that this teacher normally taught outstanding lessons. She explained: "I provided my records of previous joint observations and although he didn't observe another lesson he looked at the books and talked to the children. He agreed the teacher was outstanding." At Wingate Infants, Ms Binks felt that the inspection delved much deeper and there was a real emphasis on the whole picture. She explained: "Observing teaching on the day was just a part of it, they really wanted to see outcomes and what happened as a result of the teaching. The previous inspection had focused more on our planning. This one was very impact-based." The schools contributing to this article are all small schools and, in the majority of cases, the teaching of the headteacher was inspected as well. This places added pressure on the head. It also means that inspectors are likely to get to know the children, the teachers and their classes more closely than perhaps in an inspection of a larger school. This can blur the distinction between the collection of evidence for different judgements. Having much greater prominence in this inspection was the scrutiny of children's work. Ms Wallace describes what happened at Brabins: "They spent more time looking at children's books and a lot of the evidence seemed to come from this. They wanted to see high-quality work and that this was sustained over time. "Our inspector was also looking at the level at which children were working. For example, that children in reception were working to a year 1 standard." Ms Overbury agrees about the focus on books: "The inspector was interested in evidence over time. The learning and marking were central." Ms Binks added: "The book scrutiny was incredibly important. They wanted to see the week-to-week progress and looked at the quality of the spelling, grammar and marking." Inspectors are looking for sustained performance. If the teaching is not good then this will be reflected in the children's work. Inspectors selected the books for themselves rather than asking for a selection from school staff: "Our inspector often had a root around in the classrooms," explained Ms Wallace. "She said that if she couldn't find something then she would ask for it." Teaching assistants were given a more prominent role and inspectors investigated their contribution and the training and development they had had. Ms Binks is keen to recognise the contribution that support staff made to the inspection in other ways too. "It was only 11 days into the new school year. The inspector was very impressed by how quickly and well the learning environment had been put together. Our support staff had made a major contribution to this." At Holy Trinity, Ms Thompson describes a rigorous inspection where the collection of evidence from a number of sources was used to back up the data they found. "She scrutinised work in books, on the walls and asked pupils about the school. She talked to subject leaders and took into account the parents' views on the standard of teaching. These all confirmed the above district and above national data results for the past several years in reading, writing and maths." At Holy Trinity, the inspector observed phonics sessions across the school and a guided reading session with the year 2 pupils. She also questioned the pupils about their reading habits. At Bedfield, the inspectors observed a teaching assistant listening to a child read and was interested in the comments that she made. There are some advantages to being a small school, Ms Overbury explained: "The inspector had to be based in the library. Children kept coming in and out and disturbing him. I apologised but he said it wasn't a problem, he was just pleased to see how well it was used." Impressing the inspectors All our schools had glowing reports across all the judgements, but we were interested in what the inspectors seemed to be most impressed with in relation to the quality of teaching. What was evident throughout our interviews was how important sustainability was and the length of time during which teaching had been outstanding: "It was the quality of pupils' work over time that impressed them," explained Ms Wallace. "Not just one class at any one time." Ms Overbury made a similar comment about inspection at Bedfield: "It's not performance on the day, they want to see that it's happening over time. It's got to be consistent and sustainable." Marking is a key factor emerging in inspections. It is noticeable that where schools do have weaknesses to work on, marking quite often appears to be one of them. At Bedfield it is a strength: "Our marking was particularly good. We have what we call 'Feedback Friday' when the children can focus on the comments that have been made. "We don't correct their work as such, we highlight mistakes in different colours depending on whether it is a grammar, spelling or other form of error. "The children have iPads and iTouches so they can check their spelling themselves. They have to find out what's wrong. We encourage them to write comments back in answer to any comments that the teacher makes." Teachers having a good subject knowledge and the creative curriculum were considered to be strengths at Holy Trinity: "The inspector liked it that pupils were asked what they want to learn while offering them opportunities to practise the necessary skills for the next stage in their education." At Bedfield, the reflective nature of the teachers came across as a strength: "I think the inspector liked the way that the teachers could discuss their lessons," explained Ms Overbury. "They could identify what needed changing. As a small school I share everything with my staff and we have many conversations about assessment, expectations, targets. They know the language and can talk knowledgeably." Ms Binks was pleased to see that it was not just about literacy and numeracy: "Our inspector was impressed by the breadth of our curriculum and the way we use our environment. Our school has many children living in disadvantaged circumstances. We need to take them out and enrich their experiences." A different inspection Although the majority of the September 2013 inspection regime is the same as last year, there are some notable changes to the handbook, as we have already mentioned. Had schools noticed these changes in the inspectors' practice? "There is much more of a focus on learning," explained Ms Overbury, "They're not requesting detailed lesson plans but they want teachers to be authoritative and to be knowledgeable. It's about how teachers impart their knowledge to the children and how secure they are in what they're teaching." Ms Wallace noticed a real focus on the child and what they were doing: "It was whether the children were engaged – were they applying their skills?" Ms Binks similarly noted the heightened emphasis on learning and on the more able: "They wanted to see the progress the children were making from entry. That's not always easy when you have pupils for only three years. We have portfolios for our children in which they complete a piece of writing three times a year. This was very useful for showing the progress made." Ms Thompson noticed there was a real emphasis on different groups: "The inspector focused on the progress of all groups of pupils, SEN and higher attainers. She wanted to see that we have high expectations for them. Our ambitions are aspirational." She also noticed that governors were questioned more rigorously about how they monitored the work of the school. Ms Wallace identified the heightened importance of schools tracking and monitoring progress closely: "There was an emphasis on looking for accelerated progress. We had done quite a bit of work on this as a school and we have developed our own approach alongside using the Lancashire tracking system." One important point to note from Bedfield's inspection was that the inspector approached the subject of children's attitudes to difference such as transgender and same-sex couples, prejudice-based bullying and harassment. Fortunately they had begun work on Benjamin Britten's centenary, so the children were already familiar with some of the questions the inspector raised and were able to respond confidently. Last thought What came out strongly from all our schools is just how much more difficult it would be to paper over the cracks in this inspection. Schools that focus on managing the inspection process rather than getting down to the business of school improvement will struggle. The quality of teaching is not about pulling off that miraculous Ofsted-ready lesson, but about getting it right all year round. Suzanne O'Connell is an education writer and former primary school headteacher. Ofsted Outstanding Series This is the second of four article Headteacher Update is publishing focused on how to achieve outstanding in each of Ofsted's four core judgements: the achievement of pupils, the quality of teaching, the behaviour and safety of pupils and the quality of leadership and management. Previously published is our focus on the Behaviour and Safety judgement, which can be viewed at http://bit.ly/14MaDXn.
