In the games
Candice uses Ice-type Pokémon in her battles. Trainers who defeat her will receive the Icicle Badge, TM72 (Avalanche), and will be able to use Rock Climb outside of battle. Candice teaches that before battling with Pokémon, a person needs to befriend them first. Candice has an interest in fashion and romance as well as Pokémon, and believes a person should put all their focus into whatever they do. She sometimes muses that she acts the opposite of the way people would expect an Ice-type Gym Leader to behave - warm and friendly instead of cold and distant. She also seems to enjoy talking in third person.
She later allows the player entry into the Snowpoint Temple, and, in Platinum, will appear occasionally for rematches at the Battleground.
In Platinum, Maylene mentions in Snowpoint's Pokémon Center that she admires Candice for being studious. She also mentions that Candice wanted to practice against her to learn about the Fighting-type because of it being a weakness of Ice-type Pokémon.

- Before battle
- "You want to challenge Candice? Sure thing! I was waiting for someone tough! But I should tell you, I'm tough because I know how to focus. Pokémon, fashion, romance... It's all about focus! I'll show you just what I mean. Get ready to lose!"
- After the opponent sends out their last Pokémon
- "I'm going to break the ice and bring out my last-resort Pokémon!"
- When the opponent's last Pokémon is at critical health
- "I can sense your will to win, but I promise you I'm not about to lose!"
- Upon being defeated
- "I must say, I'm warmed up to you! I might even admire you a little."
- After being defeated
- "Wow! You're great! You've earned my respect! I think your focus and will bowled us over totally. Oh, that's right! I'm supposed to give you this!"
- "That Icicle Badge I just gave you? Because you have it, you can use the hidden move Rock Climb anytime, even when you're not in a battle. Oh, and take this, too."
- "TM72 contains the move Avalanche. If the use takes damage, the move's power is doubled! Can you imagine what sort of focus you'd need to pull it off?"
- If talked to again
- "Do you think I should try to act more like an Ice-type Gym Leader? Like, do you think I should be more cool and distant? That sort of thing I have trouble with."
- Snowpoint City
- "It's OK! You can let that person in."
- "I heard from Cynthia. You're working on a Pokédex, aren't you? There should be many rare Pokémon in the temple. Enjoy your exploring!"
- Any of the following
- "Why does the Snowpoint Gym Leader have to guard that icy temple anyway?"
- "This furniture... Oh, I get it... It's like this... Oh, please don't mind me."
- "Whew... The Resort Area is pretty warm. Maybe Candice is overdressed?"
- "Giving you an Icicle Badge made me think. It made me realize this one thing. I don't have to act cool out of character. I just have to be me!"
- "In a battle, when both sides are down to their last Pokémon... What do you think about then? I put all my trust in that Pokémon and cheer it on. That's all you can do!"
- When Maylene is at the Villa
- "Gee, I wouldn't know. That's a tough question. ...Maybe we should ask Gardenia sometime."
- "What is it, Maylene? Did you want some Accessories? I'll give you some of my favorites."
- "Yes?"
- "Giggle... I like lounging here."
- "I can't answer that! Let's go look for that answer together. We've got Pokémon and Trainer on our side, after all."
- "Then have some more."
- "There's plenty to drink. You're a growing girl!"
Scenario 1
- Before battle
- "Hiya! What's up? I bet you can't tell what I'm thinking! I'll give the answer away. I want to battle with you!"

- No: "Oh... Did my willpower intimidate you?"
- If talked to again after the player answered "No": "Listen, listen. You'll battle Candice, won't you?"
- When the opponent's last Pokémon is at critical health
- "Not yet! You can't break our will!"

- After being defeated
- "Oh, wow, your scarf is totally in fashion. I wish I had one like that."
Scenario 2
- Before battle
- "Candice is on fire! I'm blazing hot! Hot enough to melt Ice-type Pokémon! I need a battle to cool me down!"

- No: "Awww!"
- If talked to again after the player answered "No": "You really want to battle with me, don't you?"
- When the opponent's last Pokémon is at critical health
- "Not yet! You can't break our will!"

- Before battle (final round)
- "You're the opponent of Candice? Sure thing! I was waiting for someone tough! But I should tell you, I'm tough, because I know how to focus. Pokémon, fashion, romance... It's all about focus! I'll show you just what I mean. Get ready to lose!"

In the anime
Candice debuted in Classroom Training!, where she was revealed to be a teacher in Snowpoint City's Trainers' School.
Ash battled her in Sliding Into Seventh!, where he defeated her and earned the Icicle Badge. She reappeared in A Pyramiding Rage!. Paul challenged her to a Gym battle in A Pyramiding Rage!, where it took place off-screen between the aforementioned episode and Pedal to the Mettle!. The next episode confirmed that Paul had won the match.
She made another appearance in Double-Time Battle Training!, in which she watched as Zoey defeated Rebecca in the Brussel Town Pokémon Contest, earning her fifth Ribbon. Enthralled by Zoey's battle, she did not even realize that Ash, Dawn, and Brock were sitting next to her in the Contest Hall.
Later, Candice held a small party for Zoey to celebrate her victory and invited the group as well. They enjoyed a table of pastries and desserts as their meal, and Candice shared that her favorite dessert of all is Snowpoint City's Tamato Berry Ice Cream Sandwich. She described it as "hot and spicy on the inside and cold on the outside", saying that oftentimes things that don't seem to go well together at first are sometimes the most compatible.
The next day, Candice's words were great inspiration for Dawn and they gave her the idea for the Flame Ice combination. When Dawn was practicing, Candice helped her by showing a variation of the move Ice Shard together with her Abomasnow.
She appeared again in Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!, where she and Zoey watched Dawn's performance on TV where they saw Dawn's perfected Flame Ice combination in action. She also made another brief cameo appearance in A Grand Fight for Winning!, watching the Contest Battle between Dawn and Zoey in the final round of the Sinnoh Grand Festival on television along with her students. In addition, she made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of Zoroark: Master of Illusions.
Candice is a childhood friend of Zoey and calls her by the nickname Zo-Zo (Japanese: ノゾチ Nozotchi). When they were younger, Candice helped Zoey to take care of a Glameow until Zoey was old enough to begin a journey with it. The two grew up together and promised each other to work hard to fulfill their dreams, with Candice hoping to become a very successful Trainer and Zoey wishing to be a Top Coordinator. Zoey's desire to keep this promise led her to look down on people taking part of both Pokémon Contests and Gym battles, as she thought they were not taking their goals seriously.
Candice is very supportive of her friends. She always encourages Zoey to do her best, and she left Snowpoint City just to watch Zoey compete in the Brussel Contest. She also helped Dawn to practice for the Daybreak Contest after seeing Dawn struggle to perfect a combo.
Her trademark is using the term "kiai" in regular speech (instead of as a sound effect), such as in the line, "Get your kiai on!"

Helped raise
Candice stated that she helped raise Zoey's Glameow when she was younger. Zoey kept it in a shed outside the Snowpoint Trainers' School when her parents would not let her have it. One day, Mr. Honcho, the headmaster of the school, found out what Zoey was doing. Candice stepped in, and Mr. Honcho eventually gave in. Candice and Glameow have been friends ever since.

Candice first appeared in Route 217 saving Platinum when she fell from her skis after angering a pack of Graveler. Eventually, Platinum challenged her to a Gym battle, where her Snover double-KO'd with Platinum's Empoleon, and her Froslass took over to fight Platinum's Rapidash. At first, the newly evolved Fire Horse Pokémon seemed to take the lead against Froslass' ineffective Ice attacks, but Candice soon realized that Platinum's real objective wasn't to win the Gym Badge sincerely, but rather to get it over with so she can protect Uxie at Lake Acuity. Upon this realization, she ordered Froslass to attack with a Wake-Up Slap and deal massive damage on the sleeping Rapidash, and then withdrew Froslass before switching out to Abomasnow. Losing motivation, she asked the Sinnoh Pokémon League chairman if she could stop the battle, but ended up continuing anyway. With Rapidash close to fainting, Platinum switched out to her new capture, Lopunny, who was surprisingly able to defeat the massive bulk, but eventually was beaten by Froslass. As Candice gloated over her seeming victory, however, it was discovered that Lopunny used Healing Wish to revitalize Rapidash (fainting in the process), who, with a surprise attack, took out Candice's last Pokémon, winning the battle.
Afterwards, she awarded Platinum the Icicle Badge, and the two traveled together to Lake Acuity with Maylene to protect Uxie, only to be promptly defeated by Jupiter's superior brawn and tactics. She later called Byron and told him to send them someone to train them in so that they can become stronger. After some difficulty with their new Trainer, Volkner, Platinum managed to convince him to train them. At the Spear Pillar she, along with Maylene, fought Jupiter a second time, this time defeating her. She along with her fellow Gym Leaders fought Cyrus and managed to break his Red Chain but brought upon themselves the wrath of Cyrus with it and were defeated.
| Abomasnow is one of Candice's main Pokémon. She was first seen when Platinum had bumped into a Graveler while skiing. She took her to the city so she could rest. Afterwards, she was used in her Gym match and was Candice's third Pokémon, against Platinum's newly caught Lopunny. She first successfully hit the Rabbit Pokémon with an Ice Shard, but it could stand it. Despite being an inexperienced member of her team, Lopunny was swiftly able to avoid the massive Pokémon's Focus Blasts, and to defeat her with a nimble Jump Kick.
Abomasnow's known moves are Ice Shard, Rock Climb, and Focus Blast, and its Ability is Snow Warning.
|Disagreeable Graveler
| Snover was the first Pokémon used by Candice during her Gym battle against Platinum against her Empoleon. Due to her opponent's Steel-type advantage, she was quickly defeated by a powerful Metal Claw, however, before she fainted, she had fired a Seed Bomb, which hit the Emperor Pokémon in the head, defeating her.
Snover's only known move is Seed Bomb, and her Ability is Snow Warning.
|Striking Out Snover
Given away
Candice's secret weapon in her match against Platinum is Froslass, who to counter her used her Rapidash. With his speed, Rapidash was able to avoid Froslass's icy attack, but when it was finally hit, Rested to be saved for Candice's last Pokémon, only to be hit by a powerful Wake-Up Slap, nearly fainting him. After switching with Abomasnow, and the latter being defeated, she went against Lopunny, and stopped its jumping strategy and defeated it, but just before she could claim victory, she was defeated by Rapidash who had it energy restored by Lopunny's Healing Wish, earning Platinum the battle. After the Gym battle, she was taken to Lake Acuity where she was defeated by Jupiter. Later, at the Spear Pillar, Candice gave her to Platinum.
|To and Fro with Froslass
In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga
Candice's first appearance was in A Novel Test!, where she provided Hareta with a challenge to see if he could defeat Team Galactic. Despite his initial reluctance, Candice was able to convince Hareta to battle her after sending out her Legendary titans, selecting Regice and Regirock to use in a Double Battle against Hareta's Luxio and Riolu. Making use of her titans's Clear Body Ability to negate Luxio's Intimidate, Candice was seemingly able to defeat both of Hareta's Pokémon with ease; however, as she began to walk away, Riolu evolved into Lucario, immediately defeating both Regice and Regirock and winning the battle. Impressed by Hareta's capabilities, Candice took him to Snowpoint Temple, revealing that the purpose of their battle had been to determine if he would be able to catch Regigigas.
After supervising Hareta's capture of Regigigas, Candice joined the attack on Team Galactic's headquarters, where she was defeated along with the other Gym Leaders.
These are the Pokémon that Candice is known to have:
| Regice was used by Candice to test Hareta's ability to capture the Legendary titan master, Regigigas. It is her only known Pokémon that is her specialty type. Regice was also used along with the other titans to awaken Regigigas.
Regice's only known move is Ice Beam, and its Ability is Clear Body.
|A Novel Test!!
| Regirock was used by Candice to test Hareta's ability to capture the Legendary titan master, Regigigas. Regirock was also used along with the other titans to awaken Regigigas.
Regirock's known moves are Hammer Arm and Dig, and its Ability is Clear Body.
|A Novel Test!!
| Registeel was the only one of Candice's titans not used in her battle against Hareta. It was later used along with the other titans to awaken Regigigas.
None of Registeel's moves are known and its Ability is Clear Body.

The last of the McDonald's Jewelry
Since we enjoy finishing what we start, here is our report on the third Jewelry Quarter Pounder from McDonald's, the Ruby Spark…
Given our past experiences getting the Gold Ring and the Black Diamond, I figured I could saunter down to the neighborhood McD's around 10:30 and pick up this new one-day-only premium burger, no sweat. In reality, it required a lot of sweat, because when I showed up an employee came and said if I was hoping to get the ¥1,000 burger that the line cut off with the guy directly in front of me.
Shock and despair clouded my mind as I raced for the nearest subway station. I could think of any number of McDonald's locations, but which one would be sure to have the goods? If my local and not-terribly-major location was sold out, could the entire country have run out? In less than 10 minutes?
If I felt a little silly getting off the train after one stop, I felt even sillier sprinting through the station; just imagine what people would think of me if they knew I was rushing in order to buy a McDonald's hamburger!
The humiliation paid off. I received a number in a rather convoluted line (some people had cups with numbers written on them, others had plastic cards like me; numbers were not necessarily called in order), while anyone who showed up even a few minutes later was out of luck.

SIFE Sponsoring Financial Planning Seminar, Activities to Promote Business
PLAINVIEW – Planning for the future is a daunting task for many, especially when it involves money. To that end, the Students in Free Enterprise team at Wayland Baptist University is sponsoring a Financial Planning Seminar for Feb. 2, slated for 6:30 p.m. in Nunn Auditorium.
"We want to talk about personal finances and how to get control of them," said Sam Van Hoose, sponsor for the WBU SIFE team and a Sam Walton Fellow. "We hope we can show people they can get control of their finances and get out of debt. For our students, we want them to know what it really means to be in debt."
The seminar is open to anyone, and Van Hoose said the SIFE team is encouraging families with financial difficulties to attend the free seminar. The organization is also trying to partner with other agencies in Plainview and the area to get the financial advice into the hands of anyone who may need it.
Will Husky, a graduate of Wayland who now works with Investment Centers of America at Hale County State Bank, will be presenting the seminar.
The seminar is just one of several programs the SIFE team sponsors during the school year to fulfill its objectives of promoting business and financial literacy. According to SIFE president Stephanie Clements, the group has five pillars and all projects must involve at least one pillar, though the Wayland group tries to incorporate as many as possible. The pillars are ethics, personal success, financial literacy, entrepreneurship and sustainability.
"We get together and brainstorm ideas on projects we can do that will help the community, and we try to get out into the community and find out what the needs are," Clements said.
Clements, a business major from Plainview, took over the presidency this past fall for the SIFE team, a group of newcomers now since losing their complete roster to graduation in April 2005. The experience has been an eye-opener for Clements.
"I'm getting more of an idea of what managers go through, trying to manage events and delegate and trying to get everyone motivated," she said. "I'm looking forward to the networking and the inside look at corporate America."
The new group has just as much zeal for the SIFE initiatives, says Van Hoose, and is working to keep the tradition of excellence that Wayland's SIFE program has enjoyed for the past several years.
"We've been working with the Plainview High School business club to do an economics fair for the grade schools, and we've worked with the Junior SIFE team at Lockney to help teach younger kids the skills as well," he said. "We're really hoping to reach kids at an early age with good information and get them familiar with SIFE."
Clements notes that while SIFE's programs have a decidedly business feel to them, the group is not limited to business majors at Wayland alone. In fact, the team welcomes members with interest in areas that complement business, she said, noting that the group's vice president, Micah Evans, is a religion major. Randy Blodgett serves as secretary/treasurer.
While they work to regrow the group, the current SIFE team is forging ahead with several projects. Besides the financial planning seminar, the group will be leading a seminar at Plainview High on Feb. 9 titled "Sticky Money," teaching students the "fine print" of credit card applications and the pitfalls of credit debt. The message will be repeated to the Wayland student body at some point as well.
The team also has slated a Small Business Seminar for Feb. 21, led by Steve Anderson of the Small Business Development Center in Lubbock. That session will share tips on starting a small business and running it successfully. It is free and open to the public as well.
Besides their project list, Van Hoose and Clements are busy preparing for a trip to Chicago on Feb. 6-7. As one of 20 schools invited by the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank to visit, the Wayland contingency will present a brief program about their projects completed last year, especially as they relate to financial literacy. SIFE received a grant in 2004 from the bank to fund such projects and were invited to report back to the bank's leaders about the success.
They plan to apply for the grant again, allowing them to continue projects such as Sticky Money, the Disney Hot Shot Business game with elementary schools and a special emphasis on Women in Business.

One dog able to survive
Keeping warm in a bed of blankets, Titan, a Black Lab mix wearing a red collar, struggles to stand when greeting one of the Ionia County Animal Shelter volunteers during feeding time.
Titan was found as a stray by Ionia County Animal Control in the area by Woods Road, severely emaciated. He is one of two dogs found in the same condition in the past week.
"I was so angry," said Ionia County Animal Control Manager Robin Anderson about when she first saw Titan. "It's hard to believe no one speaks up or brings (him) in. They can see he's starving."
Anderson said she took Titan to Sterner Veterinary Clinic in Ionia Thursday for an evaluation.
"That's definitely the worst case we've seen here in a long time," said Sterner Veterinarian Dr. Julie Estell. "Everybody was pretty shocked."
She said besides being infested with fleas, Titan's blood work came back positive and she did not see any cuts or bruises associated with physical abuse. However, she estimated Titan had to have been with little or no food for at least six weeks to be in such a state.
Anderson said because Titan was found as a stray, they legally have to keep him as an unadoptable pet for seven open business days, though due to his health he will need to be cared for for a longer period before he is able to be adopted. He also still needs to be neutered, which cannot happen until he gains additional weight.
She said it will take time, but she believes Titan will be okay in the end and be a great dog for a loving family.
"He's a fighter and he's got the strength to make it," Anderson added.
Titan is expected to make a full recovery, but the first dog, a Pitbull mix, was not so lucky. Estell said the clinic had to put the dog down due to it's poor health.
Anderson added there is no excuse for an animal owner to abandon their dog or cat if they are no longer able to take care of it. The animal shelter offers food assistance and there is an inexpensive surrender fee of $5.
She said while she hopes someone will identify Titan's owner, she said people in the community need to take responsibility for their pets or if they see a stray animal, especially one in such a condition as Titan's.
"If anyone see this type of thing, please report it or bring it in," Anderson added. "This is why we need animal control."
To report a case of animal neglect, call 616-527-0400 or 616-527-9040.

Release Date: March 4, 2010
Lips and cheeks get the pretty young thing treatment. Cremesheen Glass makes its comeback with six exciting new shades and three requested bring-backs! Add Mineralize Blush duos and Lip Pencils to delight and define. All Too Fabulous!
Too Fabulous is a collection of lip and cheek colors that makes its debut just in time for spring. The headline here is the comeback of Cremesheen Glass. These are creamy and sheer glosses that do not leave your lips feeling sticky. The nine shades that are coming out with Too Fabulous will form part of the permanent collection so you will have plenty of time to try all of them. These are great for girls with drier lips because the formula is very moisturizing, unlike many other glosses that look shiny yet somehow manage to dry out your lips.
In addition to some familiar Cremesheen colors such as Boy Bait, Partial to Pink, and Fashion Scoop, six new shades are entering the fray. Richer, Lusher is a pretty coral that is on the peach side that can help tone down lipsticks that are just a bit too dark or bright. Double Dare is also part of the coral family, but this darker red can stand on its own. Boy Bait is a must-have for neutral lips who want to enjoy the consistency of Cremesheen without adding too much color.
Cremesheens are very sheer so most of us will want to pair them with lip liner. In anticipation of this, those clever MAC marketers have also come out with lip pencils to accompany the glosses. MAC aficionados will already be familiar with the brown Chestnut liner, but there are also five new limited edition shades that will send us scrambling to our counters to stock up. Naked is truly bare, a skin color that is ideal for neutralizing very pigmented lips. Boldy Bare is a versatile neutral mauve color that would work well with olive skin tones under any sort of pink, brown, or berry lip colors.
The last part of this collection is the Mineralize Blush Duos. Mineralize blushes are very soft and shimmery blushes- maybe a little too soft and shimmery. They don't have the staying power of Sheertone Blushes and some people find the shimmer to be over the top. However, the color combinations are beautiful. Sun & Moon may not be the first one that jumps out at you. In the compact, the copper and pink look very unassuming and possibly too orange. But when applied, the effect is a sun-kissed nude pink that looks very natural and pretty. Buddy Up is one of the less shimmery Mineralize Duos. The pink and plum blend together nicely to give your cheeks a soft berry color.
Too Fabulous is one of those collections that will keep you standing at the MAC counter for a long time trying to decide which colors you want. They are all so pretty and wearable that it will be tough to narrow it down.

C rings don't have much to do with dildos.. super sad if anyone in the world thinks any of those are real.. I think it's way hotter to have reg sized normal junk flop around than giant dildos that look fresh out of Boogie Nights.. AC always goes silly far to the point of runing the concept, I just wish the product line was the focus instead of the shameless promotions. I never seen anything the videos I'm compelled to go buy due to awesome designs, fabrics, color stories, patterns, or fit, yet I own hundreds of pairs of other brands that don't make any videos at all.
Whoever comes with the ideas for the videos its fucked up, like yeah we get it sex sells, but you can make something classy not tacky like this, I mean the underwears is tasteless and tacky and this commercials make it looks worse! If this represent a brand of "gay underwear" It only makes me not want to be gay

Product Launch: MPX Fans
Introducing the MPX exhaust fans line with enhanced corrosion protection!
In swine and calf barns there is a necessity to have corrosion resistant equipment due to the high moisture levels and the corrosive agent present in the environment. A couple of years ago Munters has made a great effort in the battle against corrosion by introducing Munters Protect; a special coating which protects metal sheets used for constructing the fan housing.
Based on the excellent results achieved by the use of Munters Protect, Munters has decided to introduce a new line of fans able to offer an outstanding resistance against corrosion in harsh environments as in swine and calf barns.
The new MPX line of fans covers the full range of exhaust fans of all sizes 24" to 50":
Benefits of Munters MPX fan series
- The best corrosion resistance performance, up to 10 times better than galvanized steel
- The best suited protection, known to market, to withstand harsh environments as in swine production housing and calf barns
- An extended warranty of 3 years on the fan parts made in Munters Protect
- Long lasting material means longer product life-cycle and less maintenance on fans, reduced total cost of ownership (TOC)
Learn more by watching the MPX fans video below.

Major League Baseball New Expertise: Making Vines
Major League Baseball built such an early expertise in delivering live video content on the Web that MLB.com now provides technical infrastructure for everyone from Turner to ESPN to Glenn Beck. Now, MLB.com looks like it may repeat that feat in Vine-related marketing.
After developing an expertise in the short form video format, launched by Twitter in January of last year, for its own marketing purposes, MLB's Advanced Media group is now making Vines for paying sponsors, including a recent Budweiser effort and a campaign for Bank of America themed around thanking members of the U.S. armed forces that kicked off last week on Memorial Day.
MLB has also toyed with making Vines that are themed around big summer movies, including "Godzilla" and Marvel's upcoming "Guardians of the Galaxy." To date, these aren't paid opportunities, though MLB is certainly willing to make its Vine prowess available to movie sponsors for a fee down the road. League officials say there's a real possibility MLB Advanced Media could become something of a Vine agency, both for its own sponsors and non-baseball advertisers. Indeed Twitter and MLB are selling Vine as part of larger ad packages.
For Bank of America, Vines have driven 50% more engagement that the company's other social content, even photos, said Meredith Verdone, the bank's head of Enterprise, Consumer and Global Wealth & Investment Management Marketing. During week one of the Vine/MLB effort, Bank of America raised $50,000 that will be split between its two charities, she said.
Ms. Verdone said that it's crucial for Bank of America to experiment with new marketing vehicles. But more importantly, she sees this sort of non-traditional ad creation becoming a crucial part of the business going forward. "This kind of creative content collaboration, we're going to start to see more of that in the industry," she said.
MLB's commitment to the six-second video format, know for its distinctive, stop-motion-styled editing, is clear when visiting MLB's social media group within the league's Chelsea Market offices in New York. At least a dozen screens continuously play Vine clips over the heads of the group's cubicles. Remnants of the recent Bank of America Vine sit on MLB's Social Media Coordinator Erik Reitmeyer's, desk, including several strips of fake mustard (yellow glue worst best). The Bank of America Vine shows a hot dog with mustard gradually spelling out the hashtag #Troopthanks.
Throughout this season, Bank of America will be donating money to the organizations Wounded Warrior Project and Welcome Back Veterans during specific events and when fans use that hashtag. Both MLB and Bank of America plan to regular post these sponsored Vines to their separate Twitter accounts, and they'll also be running the Vines as preroll ads prior to video content featuring MLB players thanking military personnel. Plus, the two partners are using Twitter's Amplify product, which will enable MLB and Bank of America to target users having social conversations about baseball or the troops.
MLB is planning a new #Troopthanks Vine for July 4th, and two more later in the season. The hot dog execution took the MLB social team roughly two weeks to conceive and produce. When it comes to Vine, one thing people don't realize is that they're not that easy to crank out, argues Mr. Reitmeyer, despite their length. Another big misconception. "You can actually tell stories in six seconds," said Mr. Reitmeyer
To date, MLB has produced roughly 150 Vines. Of those, 100 or so were produced for Vine in advance while 50 were produced in real time during MLB games (like this clip of fans singing during World Series last year). Andrew Patterson, MLB's Director, New Media said that overtly commercial messaging doesn't really make sense with Vine (no selling tickets or jerseys) and that funny rules so far. "It's about developing a personality and using social channels," he said.
Two recent favorites: a goofy clip of the New York Mets mascot Mr. Met (actually a dressed up baseball) attending the glizty Met gala in New York, as well as a Star Wars themed baseball Vine produced for May. 4 (unofficially Star Wars day). "The great thing is you can use a baseball as a character in so many ways," said Mr. Reitmeyer.
MLB's work with Bud came after MLB produced a summer-themed Vine featuring a Budweiser can in a cooler that caught the attention of Anheuser-Busch's marketing team. The brand and MLB decided to reshoot a similar Vine--"with higher production values," said Reitmeyer, and then used the clip as part of a broader ad campaign during the World Series last year. The Vine was even featured in a Times Square billboard.
The more opportunities like this that come along could lead MLB to build out its own cottage industry, six seconds at a time.

The young mother struggled with every surge of uterine activity. "I can't do it! I am too tired!", she cried in English, then lots more in another language.
If one of us had been able to step in as proxy; to labour and give birth, or even to do some of the work, and lessen her load, we would have. Surely it's unfair that the woman has to do it all?
Each time I witness the massive effort that culminates in the unmedicated, unassisted birth of a baby - and particularly a first baby - I am in awe. The journey that can have many unpredictable and unexpected turns in the path; many forks in the road. At each decision point, only one way can be taken. Is this the best way?
As midwife, I hear many voices. The mother's body, the baby's body, my own mind, the voice of professional and scientific knowledge, and the words of others participating in the birthing journey.
When the mother's mind says "I can't do it! I'm too tired!" I can't just block my ears.
I ask, what does her body tell me?
There is power in these contractions, and I have seen progress over time.I know we can continue.
There is strength in this young body. Her pulse rate is steady and strong.
There is quietness in the moments of resting between contractions.
Is mother well? At present, yes.
I ask, what does her baby's body tell me?
The baby's heart rate is strong and steady.I know we can continue.
The contractions, although strong, do not bring any sign of distress in the baby.
The baby's station is progressing with time.
Is baby well? At present, yes.
I ask, what does my own mind tell me?
It's the middle of the night, and my mind is also weary.I will not interrupt or interfere with the amazing metamorphosis; the life-giving struggle that we are witnessing.
I hear the cries. I know that she is sleep-deprived.
I seek to guide this girl who is being transformed into a mother through this rough terrain.
I ask, what does professional and scientific knowledge tell me?
Simply this: that there is no safer or more appropriate way for this baby to be brought into the world, than for the midwife to work in harmony with natural physiological processes in labour and birth.I know we can continue.
That this woman's body is wonderfully made, that this baby's body is uniquely suited to this mother, and that the process of birth is so much more than delivery of a child from the womb to the outside world.
That the transitions which must take place shortly are best supported in strong, unmedicated birthing.
I ask, what do the others - the husband, the friend, the student - tell me?
We are working together, and I am responsible for so much. These members of the team are looking to me for encouragement and strength. They do not have the years of life experience that I have, and they are quietly learning to harmonise their actions with those of the labouring woman.I know we can continue.
We moved to the birthing pool. The pushing had been ineffective, and the voice "I can't do it, I'm too tired!" was becoming more persistent.
Then, as an expulsive urge was about to go, I saw some fine, thick black hair peep out between the labia, then disappear again.
"I can tell you what colour your baby's hair is" I said. "Black."
We all laughed. Babies from their people group all have black hair.
I don't know when the young mother realised that she actually could give birth, that she was giving birth. But I know and hold onto the look of utter amazement and satisfaction as she took her child into her arms.

bradbond needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 136 designs submitted by 32 freelance designers.
We are a software development firm based in Melbourne, Australia and we've been working on a revolutionary new Helpdesk application for Enterprises. It uses many of the features found in Facebook such as "News Feeds" and "Status Updates" to help users in large Organisations collaborate better. We are aiming to change the way Enterprise applications are used.
Flow is an abbreviation of 'Workflow' but also refers to the smooth flow of information that is enabled by our product.
Medium to Large Enterprises who value modern software applications and can see the benefits of integrating social features into their environment.
The design should play on the concept of 'Flow' or 'Flowing' and should have a social media feel more than a traditional enterprise/corporate feel. Collaboration is a key feature and this could possibly be used in the design.
We require the logo to have a symbol next to the word "Flow" in a landscape format to ensure it fits easily in the header of the application. I don't mind lowercase and therefore am not opposed to using "flow". The logo must also look good in solid white.

It has been a great trip in one of the most beautiful and vivacious cities in the world..
Here is a specimen of yet another unearthly animal that doesn't even look real! Yes. This is ALIVE!!! A seldom seen crinoid-a modified feather star from New Caledonia (in the South Pacific) called Gymnocrinus richeri!
Long story short- they are very "living fossil" crinoids..that is a living form that, at least superficially, resemble a species from the fossil record. Sort of like the coelocanth or horseshoe crabs.
here's a pic from the other side... they use those arms to grab prey as it swims by (or so its thought..)
Here's another specimen more spread out..
Among the other kinds of better known crinoids are of course, the stalked crinoids (Metacrinus interruptus). aka the "sea lillies"... Stalked crinoids are deep-sea forms that are seldom seen in modern waters (unless you are a deep-sea biologist)..BUT are abundant in Paleozoic fossils..(this is a story for another day.)
Here's a closeup of the cup that includes the feeding tentacles...
I wanted to thank my hosts to Paris.. here is Dr. Marc Eleaume, one of the scientists-Curator of Echinoderms for the museum..
I wish her the very best and look forward to her future accomplishments! She is shown here with one of "her" animals... the Antarctic feather star Promachocrinus kerguelenensis!
