Good scarf
By Marissa
from Hamilton
This scarf is a nice one. I bought the black and grey one. But because of the fringe you have to be careful because it catches on everything. I usually wear a pandora bracelet and it catches on the bracelet so I can't wear both together. This is a great scarf if you don't wear jewelry
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Versatile addition to the wardrobe
By Alicia
from Brampton
For scarf lovers it is very good deal, not heavy, useful for many occasions. I bought pink and brown. Pink is vivid, brown a little bland, looks like beige, but still fine for me.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Not content to just make this the Spock and Kirk show, with supporting players largely reduced to broad strokes, Abrams makes it clear that he's interested in Star Trek as an ongoing, fully fleshed-out ensemble piece.

This star trek was better than the older ones i think. check this out.http://c5aa6lf0ha27gs05xbo98ohu2x.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=ZACMOVIE01

I think the next generation crew has a lot more going for it, i didnt mind the 'remake' but theres not a hope in the universe that it warrants 94%, thats madness. Nether spock nor kirk are played with the same on screen presence, and i for one sadly miss Picard, he is by far the most popluar Captain of the Enterprise

Tom McAulay
Oils, Acrylics and Drawing
Born: Innisfail, North Queensland.
Resides: North of Brisbane, Queensland.
Artist InformationTom McAulay was born in Innisfail in North Queensland. He studied art under both Arthur Evan Read and Andrew Sibley, but it was his own observations of life around him that have inspired most of his work.
His early rural life and later travels around Australia laid the foundations for his portrayal of subjects such as the Outback, vast landscapes and birdlife, characters of the Bush and from the Far North, or country race tracks. Years of Brisbane living brought new material form the suburbs and especially the sports of football, cricket and boxing which started to feature in many paintings. But it is still for his wonderful portrayals of stockyard characters that Tom is probably best known.
Most of the stockmen series are studies in pen and wash or charcoal, but Tom is equally adept at working with oils, acrylics and gouache and has always risen to the challenge of a new medium. His journeying has taken him across many areas of Australia to meet all manner of people and he recalls Kakadu and the Kimberley region with much fondness.
In a career that has spanned nearly 40 years, Tom McAulay has won innumerable awards including Warana Brisbane (1969), Caltex Award Toowoomba (1973) and the Heritage Art Award conducted by the Queensland Historical Society.
In 1990 Tom was commissioned by the then Prime Minister, Bob Hawke, to complete a series of paintings of Australians in sport and in 2000 he was the selected Queensland artist represented in the "Sports in Art" exhibition held in Adelaide.
Tom, like most artists, paints as an expression of feeling about a subject, but he continues to work hard at his chosen profession. He does not seek the limelight, despite hugely successful exhibitions over the years in major galleries in Brisbane, Melbourne, Cairns, Toowoomba, Sydney and Darwin.
His quintessential Australian paintings and drawings are to be found in public and private collections in Australia and worldwide

Chapter II0 Reviews
Albel brings his strange brand of comfort to Fayt side in the wake of his father's death. (yes, the fic will be swapping POVs. Albel's in this chapter)
I need to be with someone familiar right now. The others are either intolerable or strangers to me. I...like Fayt. He's such a strange boy, trying to befriend a creature such as myself. He actually tries to understand and even relate to me and the scary thing is, I'm starting to enjoy it. So few make the effort and even they keep me at arm's length. I think...that he might actually accept me. He's not afraid of me or even that much in awe of me. It feels odd to think that someone might enjoy my company. I am, after all, terrible company. Perhaps he likes the challenge.
It would explain why he treats that Sophia girl like a little sister even as her eyes sparkle with her adoration of him. She is no challenge, no prize to be won. If he wanted her, all he'd have to do is crook a finger at her and she'd come running. He is surrounded by people who would die for him but not a one who would kill for him. This I can do; this I will do should anyone threaten a hair on his head. It should come to no surprise that this bothers me.
When I find his room I am confronted with a panel. It is a flat screen with strange graphic buttons on it. I touch the large red one and after a moment I'm rewarded with the sound of Fayt's voice coming from a strange device on the panel.
"Who is it?"
"Let me in, you idiot," I snarl.
Fayt sighs softly, "Hang on Albel."
The door slides open by itself and I step into Fayt's room. It instantly slides shut behind me. I prickle at the vague sense of being trapped, but quickly push it aside.
"What do you want?" Fayt asks. He is sitting in his bed and looking disheveled and slightly wearied. I am taken somewhat aback. He is rarely seen as anything but optimistic, eager, and determined. This is the boy who looked me in the eye and refused to back down from my threats.
This was also a young man who had lost his father to violence. I had experience in that department. Much as I approve of Maria pushing Fayt to put his grief aside for the sake of their mission, I know it must be eating him up inside.
"It occurs to me I never offered my condolences for your father's death," I tell him stiffly.
His expression softens. "Thank you. That means a lot to me, Albel."
I clear my throat as I step closer to Fayt's bed. "I too lost my father when I was only a few years younger than you."
Fayt's eyes are warm with not sympathy but empathy. "Does it ever get better?"
"No," I say. "Every day I miss him and hate that I'd not been able to save him."
"How did he die?" Fayt asks.
Panic seizes me for a moment. Do I want to share my most shameful failure to him? It is disturbing to realize that I did.
"Did you know that I was supposed to take control of the dragon brigade after my father retired from the military?" I ask him conversely.
"You know...I always wondered about that. Why was Vox the general since you were the obvious heir to the position?"
"I failed a ceremony to become part of the dragon brigade. Quite badly in fact," I explain bluntly.
"Really?" Fayt is obviously skeptical. It makes the telling of the end of the story a bit easier.
"Yes. I was...young and overconfident. I did not understand the fundamental bond between the soldier and his dragon. It is like when we defeated The Marquis. We did not tame him; we earned his respect. Back then...I believed that I could just tame a dragon through sheer force of will. That was not to be. The creature was enraged at my audacity that I demanded its servitude. He tried to kill me, but my father shielded me and bore the brunt of its fire breath. My arm was caught in the inferno and all I remember is screaming along with my father. Eventually his stopped but mine did not until I finally passed out from the intense pain. I should have died that day."
"Who saved you?" Fayt asks breathily.
"For some reason the soldiers that had escorted us took me back to Kirlsa, although by all right they should have left me to perish. That is how it is supposed to work. If you fail the ceremony, it is usually because the dragon killed you."
He surprises me when he gets up from his bed and hugs me. No one has even attempted to touch me in years and the feel of his body against me is very odd. My skin crawls a little at the sensation of his embrace, though it is not entirely unpleasant.
"Oh Albel, I'm so sorry!" Fayt exclaims.
He doesn't break the hold for a long while and I find myself relaxing into his touch. I can't deny that it feels good. The long forgotten ghost of desire stirs in me, but I can't even consider that right now.
"It's not your fault," Fayt whispers, breath warm against my ear.
I place my good hand on the back of his neck. Fayt's skin is soft and his hair is silky beneath my fingertips. In the darkest corner of my mind, I long to devour him. My mind dwells on carnal fantasies about what Fayt's body might feel like nude and straining with lust beneath me, what his mouth would taste like, how he would look as I fuck him. I close my eyes, trying to will away these intense, nearly foreign feelings.
"Perhaps," I reply in a voice gone husky with my barely reigned surge of lust, "You are not to blame either."
"I know," Fayt looks into my face and his gaze is soft and languid. My heart begins to pound as his face moves closer to mine. The fool was going to kiss me!
Startled, I push him away hastily. Even though I'd been thinking about it, that doesn't mean I am ready to enact it!
"What in hell are you doing?" I bark defensively.
"Ah sorry," Fayt looks sheepish. "It's just...um, I think I like you."
"I see," I scowl.
"Sorry, sorry," Fayt is blushing intensely and it weakens even my resolve. "I'll never do it again."
"Well now..." I narrow my eyes at him, "Let's not be too hasty in that decision."
Fayt sucks in a sharp breath and looks surprised. I can't help but smirk at him. Tentatively, I reach out my real hand and place it against the side of his face. He leans into my touch and arches his throat as I stroke my fingers along the side of his neck. So trusting. I could snap his neck right now but the thought carries little weight with me for a multitude of reasons. For one, I am trapped on a ship traversing the heavens and another, there are several people on this vessel that would kill me for such a transgression. Anyway, I rather like this. His skin is warm and his expression is alluring. He wants this; he wants me and even though it's astounding, I am not truly made of stone. Fayt would let me kiss me. He would probably turn wanton under my touch. Perhaps he would even beg for his release if I teased him.
"Be patient," I drawl darkly.
"Okay," Fayt gasps.
"I'm going," I announce awkwardly.
"Alright," Fayt nods, "The door's open. If you approach it, it'll move aside automatically."
How novel. It does exactly that and I quickly enter the hallway outside of his room. My mind swims with what had transpired. I must confess intimate affairs are not exactly something I am terribly experienced with. I am not the romantic warrior women seem to want and I am too harsh and demanding for most men. They get caught up by my fair face and are blind-sided by the brutality of my passion. I imagine Fayt to be as hungry to touch me as I him.
This is getting complicated. I have to consider if these emotions are worth the trouble. Fayt's companions would not approve of this affair. Would he allow them to influence him and if he did, could I really deal with the fallout? No, I don't think I can lose another person that I care about. Everybody leaves in the end. I am too harsh a man for such relationships.
I try to push my burgeoning affection for Fayt away. It is dangerous in a way that I cannot fight. My sword does no good when it comes to feelings.
Would it be that I could cut them out. Life would be so much less complicated if every human interaction were as simple as battle.

A disappointing season for Detroit took a turn for the worse yesterday when the Lions were stunned by the Colts, who rallied for 2 touchdowns with under 3 minutes remaining, including the winning score as time expired in a 35-to-33 victory for Indianapolis.
Detroit's fourth straight loss leaves their record at 4-and-8 while the surprising Colts improved to 8-and-4, thanks in large part to rookie quarterback Andrew Luck. He was constantly harassed by the Lion's defense and tossed 3 interceptions but he was right when it counted most with 4 touchdown passes including the final 14-yard connection with Donnie Avery on a fourth-and-ten play that began with 4 seconds left in the game.
Matthew Stafford threw for 313 yards, two touchdowns and a pick forDetroitwhile Calvin Johnson had a career-high 13 receptions for 171 yards and a score in defeat. However, Johnson caught just one pass over the final 15-minutes.
The Lions are the second team in NFL history to lose 3 straight games in which they led in the final 2 minutes of the fourth quarter.Detroitcan only play the spoiler's role from here on out in the NFC North, whereGreen BayandChicagoare tied for first place. The Lion's next game is coming up Sunday night with the national coverage on NBC's Football Night inAmerica.
The Bears yesterday fell into a first place tie with the Packers with Chicago losing at home in overtime to Seattle 23-to-17.
The Packers, meanwhile, beat Minnesota 23-to-14 at Lambeau Field, despite allowing 210 yards rushing by Viking's running back Adrian Peterson. Week 13 wraps up tonight with the New York Giants atWashington.

| Kodak-Nagel Vollenda No. 48 for 127 film

|Photo industry in Stuttgart
|Contessa | Contessa-Nettel | Drexler & Nagel | Ebner | Hauff | Kenngott | Kodak AG | G. A. Krauss | Nagel | Zeiss Ikon
In 1928 Dr. August Nagel, founder of Contessa and co-founder of of Zeiss Ikon, split off to start his own camera factory in his hometown Stuttgart. It became famous for its small format camera Nagel-Pupille. In 1931 the company became Kodak's German branch Kodak AG. After that, the model range continued with the Kodak name.
In the mid-1930s, Dr. Nagel devised a 35mm film cassette that would fit the successful Leica and Contax rangefinder cameras; Nagel also shrank its earlier Vollenda camera to fit this smaller format—creating the Retina). Kodak in the US promoted this new film packaging as 135 format, and it soon became the 35mm standard that is universal today.

From its cosmic perch, on the far-side of the Sun, the on-board space telescope STEREO-B snapped hundreds of images of the comet Pan-STARRS as it rounded the Sun from March 9th to March 16th. Now thanks to the hard work of analyst Karl Battams of the Naval Research Lab, every one of those images have been stitched together to create an awesome video of the icy interloper's travels.
Earth looks like it gets swished by a comet tail. :3

Why Paddi Davies-Reservations. David Hammer-Owner chose Cozumel
For several years, I wanted to develop rental units for tourists, both to generate income and for a winter vacation home. As an attorney, I had helped a client buy a duplex in San Carlos, Mexico.
In December '96, my youngest son and I drove the tourist corridor between Cancun and Tulum, continuing south to Chetamal and inspecting property in every town and fishing village in between. On New Years Day we took the ferry from Playa del Carmen to Cozumel. I liked what I saw. Beautiful beaches, crystal clear water, friendly people, and a healthy economy. It has the same small town atmosphere of my home town in California where you can walk the streets at night in safety. Cozumel is a world premier SCUBA diving location and has unique Mayan ruins. There are excellent restaurants, large supermarkets, friendly people, a one of the best Carnival celebrations in the world.
Guestbook comments from the owner
"Excellent property, close to town and shopping"
This has been our 5th time staying at Casa Martillo, and we wouldn't stay any were else. Property is far enough away from town, but close enough to walk to town and shopping. Around a 5-10 minute walk to the Barracuda to be picked up for scuba diving. Property is well maintained, nice and secure, staff are friendly and housekeeping is good.

Portfolio Consultants – An Interview With Selina Maitreya
1.There's been a lot of talk on the internet recently about the "free" business model, whether it be giving work away to get increased access, or for promotional purposes and so forth. What are your thoughts on this?
This is something that new photographers have done forever. I wouldn't suggest ever that a photographer gives work away, however the reality is that when a photographer is brand new to the business, they will work with clients on certain projects, and it should be certain projects only, that will hopefully give them the visibility that they want in exchange for a lowered rate; in exchange for copies of the tearsheets or in exchange for a really big photo credit. As a general rule, I do not agree with giving work away; I want to start with that premise. However, the reality is that a lot of new photographers do that and it has sometimes benefited them. I say that very cautiously because I do not want your viewers and readers to ever go into a negotiation thinking they're going to give their work away.
There are so many ways and so many places to go before you land on the free giveaway. To build a business on it is not at all suggested. To take that option assignment by assignment in the very beginning of one's career is certainly a thought after other alternatives of trade – big copyright notice, lots of copies of the images, tearsheets, real visible credit – have already been explored and then if the photographer feels that this job really is a visual, talent based assignment that's going to get them visibility, they need to sit down and justify to themselves, "what would this visibility really look like?" Would I really get visibility and what's the benefit to me of giving away this work versus the downside versus what could happen if I did? Conversely they need to ask themselves : What would happen if I didn't give this away? What would happen if I walked from this job? So this is a really big question and I would sum it up by saying don't ever go into a negotiation with the understanding you're going to give work away. Don't go into business initially thinking that's the way you need to develop relationships. The reality is that the relationships a photographer develops at the beginning of their career when they have clients that are unsophisticated enough to ask you to give the work away are rarely the people that you're going to be wanting to work with in the next year, two years, three years.
When a photographer makes a habit of giving their work away, it's almost like there's a secret club and one person tells the other and everybody that is referred to by this client is going to assume that you're going to give work away. Then you don't have a business, then you have a hobby. So in photography, we don't go into it attempting or thinking we're ever going to give our work away and I would say for the most part a photographer should not. However, if a photographer has taken on a project specifically as a pro-bono project, that this is work that they want to contribute to because in their soul and in their heart they feel that contributing to the AIDS Foundation, contributing to breast cancer, helping out a local food pantry with their art is something they want to do, then go for it. To work with a profit organization and give your work away is generally not suggested.
Please remember that when you make the decision to give your work away you devalue photography as a business not just on your world but in the greater universe of photographers. If you consistently give away your work, you have a hobby not a business.
2. In photographer David du Chemin's book "Within The Frame ", he says "Photographers, like artists in all disciplines, face a temptation to fall more deeply in love with the way we create our images than with the images themselves and the reasons for those images". What is your take on this – do creatives run the risk of placing too much attention on the mechanics of creation?
I think that there are times they might. Clearly when a person enters the world of photography it's all new to them and as with anything that we learn, there's a time of attention that's needed to the specifics; learning how light works; learning how composition works. Photography has long been described as a combination of science and magic and the science portion of photography – understanding how the camera works, understanding how the camera sees differently than the eye, understanding light, understanding composition – it's a process that takes photographers years. So certainly, the attention to the process is critical but there's also the attention to the magic, and that magic I describe as the opportunity to channel the moment between two people; to channel the energy of a person that's coming through the camera when a photographer takes a portrait. The magic is really what we as viewers, when we look at images, get from the photograph. Clearly a photographer needs to have the science portion down. He or she needs to know how to create a good photograph from the scientific aspect but they also need to know eventually how to bring their vision in and they need to know how to let that moment of divinity channel through the camera. That's the moment that allows a person to come through the camera and the portrait to be not a picture of them but a picture about them. So I would say that the work that a photographer needs to do and the awareness that they bring to the craft, that revolves around the magic is as important as the portion of attention that needs to be placed around the science, so photography is science and magic and both areas need to be paid attention to.
3. Photographer Annie Leibovitz's financial troubles led to her place the copyright to all her works as collateral in seeking assistance to get out of debt. If someone works so hard to overcome resistance and forge a life as a highly creative person, should they ever consider doing something like this?
I think this is a very extreme case and I certainly have no details, as none of us do,as to what Annie Leibovitz went through and my heart goes out to her because clearly she felt very strapped. I would think that she's quite fond of her images and taking a measure like this is really pretty drastic. I think the bigger picture and the bigger question really comes down to the concept of photographers needing to be financially responsible and I think what we can learn from this situation is the fact that we are in a business. As businesspeople, the skills of a businessperson and the talents of a businessperson need to be considered. I would encourage every photographer who goes into business to begin by sitting down with an accountant and understanding what a profit and loss sheet looks like . I would suggest that every photographer understand how their business works financially. I would encourage them to have a trusted accountant and I would hope they understand or learn what a profit margin looks like and to know how much profit they need to build in their business for it to be sustainable.
I'd encourage photographers to really look to develop different market streams as well as, especially when they're starting out. Find different ways to provide income for themselves so that they can be sustainable. There are many business topics that photographers need to look at that don't have to do with the licensing end of our business; they have to do with very practical questions about running a business, so I think the bigger question here is that photographers need to look at the fact that they're not just in a creative business but that they are creative people in business.
The old paradigm of the poor struggling artist is just that, OLD. Photographers need to take ownership of this financial piece and understand what it looks like to run a business. How much profit do they want? How many days do they need to work at the fee that they've set for themselves on a daily rate to keep their business open. Certainly when we quote prices to clients we don't quote them a daily rate but photographers need to know how much they need to make on a daily basis to keep the doors open. They need to be financially responsible, they need to know more than most photographers generally do about the financial end of running a business. That's the bigger question here.
4. In your book How to Succeed in Commercial Photography: Insights from a Leading Consultant you emphasize the necessity of photographers getting their books worked on, completed and in front of buyers. In today's connected world, where buyers/editors/ADs may be on the other side of the world to the photographer, what would you advise? Should photographers send their book(s) to prospective buyers by courier, or perhaps try to schedule a week or two for a marketing trip to New York/London/ wherever and set up lots of appointments in a short time?
Certainly I do emphasize the necessity of photographers developing their bodies of work. A body of work is shown in two places in today's market. It's shown on websites which go globally and it's shown in print books when photographers books are called in for specific assignments and when the photographer utilizes the print book as a front end sell to buyers. There are very few photographers in the United States that have built up national programs, let alone international programs. So the necessity of a photographer getting on a plane and having to go to France or going to England really doesn't come into the mix until that photographer is well established in the US. This is the same for shooters in Europe, Canada, Australia or Asia. Certainly there are enough contacts to reach here at home before a photographer might get on a plane and go to London. That being said, I have photographers in the US who sell to Canada, who sell to the UK; I have Canadian photographers coming into the United States selling here as well. What does that mean? Photographers need to create a plan. They need to include a sales section as well as material for front and back end sales visits that will also serve as stand alone outreach efforts.
A sales program (selected contacts that will be visited by the photographer or agent) is a very integral part of an overall sales and marketing program and it certainly needs to have attention placed on it. Here's how you might begin the process.
Sit down at the beginning of the year, or at any point during the year when you decide to get serious about your marketing and start looking at whether you have a vision in place and if so, do you have the body of work. When the body of work is there and you're ready to create your sales and marketing program, look to create five to six different sales trails; different ways to reach buyers. One sales trail is indeed the in-person visit. Make sure you have a website, make sure you have a print book and make sure both of these are fueled and filled with visuals that represent your vision. Then you create a database of potential clients. Build a large database of somewhere between 700 and 1500 people to send your direct mail and email to, to build up visibility. Then you call from that larger list, to do research on 75-100 people who may be potentials for in-person visits. For instance you may be a portrait photographer and one of the markets that you're going into is editorial and if you find that the majority of your buyers are in New York, then it makes sense to create a New York sales trip.
So to answer the question, the trips that we create are built into an overall yearly program. We create a yearly program and see where our buyers are. On the other end of the spectrum we have people who are looking to sell locally and regionally and not nationally and they're going to do the same thing. They're going to look at their visuals, they're going to develop a portfolio, direct mail, visual mail and a website; they're going to create a database that has contacts locally and regionally within three to four different markets that they could sell to, and they're going to be looking at an hour to two hours north, south, east and west to see where they can drive to see people. Then they're going to do the same thing. They're going to start to create a program that would allow them to see buyers. Instead of it being a two or three time trip to New York, because they're going north, south, east and west by 1-200 miles, they might look at monthly goals. They may think to go out onto the road and have at least 8-10 people a month who see their portfolio. If that's not possible, the minimum is at least four people a month. In-person visits should indeed be a very important part to a photographers overall sales and marketing program. There's a thinking that happens and it really is very individual for each photographer but I hope I've given you a bit of scope to share with your readers in terms of how you go about doing that.
5. Social media seems to be the biggest buzz around at the moment. What are your thoughts on this? For me personally, the inspiration I get from some of the exciting photographers I've found via social media is possibly worth more than the extra work I've gained through it.
I have a new lecture program and it really breaks down where social media comes into marketing for photographers. Social media is a big part of today's marketing mix. It does not replace traditional tools; it is layered on top of traditional tools. A photographer who wants to be competitive in the marketplace needs to have a vision; needs to have that vision showcased in a website and a print book; they need to have identified three to five markets they can sell that vision to; they need to have developed a database of buyers within that market. They then need to have developed traditional marketing tools and I think what's very important to put across here is that photographers very often hook onto one tool and based on opinions they hear, whether that tool happens to work for certain photographers or certain buyers, they'll either run to it or run from it. My advice is that the following tools are all needed and regardless of what you hear at individual conferences or with individuals, you need to utilize them. The tools that every photographer needs to utilize are direct mail, visual email, a website, web portals, sales visits where photographers go to see buyers, follow up to the sales visits on top of those materials. If they want to utilize a blog, they can create a blog as long as it's utilized as a marketing tool and not just an area to talk to other photographers or their friends. Those would be traditional marketing tools. Social marketing tools to consider? Consider Twitter, Linked In, Facebook. Just looking at these three tools, if a photographer had a Facebook fan page that they created for their business, if they had a Linked In page and they used all the different aspects of LinkedIn, and they tweeted out on Twitter, they could then interconnect all of their traditional and new social media tools.
What social networking does is give us an opportunity to reach people the way that direct mail does or the way that visual email does but it's a softer sell. It needs to be handled properly meaning that the photographer needs to remember when they Tweet out to create a personality on Twitter that has to do with what they want buyers to get about them. Twitter is a wonderful place – I've met lots of great people and got lots of great information – but Twitter isn't just about that. From a business perspective, photographers need to create an identity. They need to know what their message is and they need to remember that they're going to be asking people that they see on portfolio visits if they can tweet to them, can they hook up on Twitter and follow each other? If you have professionals, buyers, who are following you, then you want to make sure that your Twitter posts are really what you would want your clients to know about you. Maybe you're taking photographs, posting them on Twitpics or Flickr, but your photographs that are not an extension of what you do professionally. Big mistake. Choose your images carefully. Yes, this is a place for people to get to know a more personal side of you, but still keep the awareness on business. Consider DM'ing a contact once you've posted new images and asking them to take a look. This becomes another reason to connect and it becomes an extra contact. There's tons of ways to use Linked In and there's tons of things to do with Facebook.
The bottom line is that social networking is all about creating an extra layer of visibility for the photographer. It doesn't replace the marketing tools that we already have. It supplements and gets layered on top of them. The key here is the integration of all of the marketing tools. If a photographer is not going to be going on portfolio visits, then there are fewer people to ask if we can tweet or facebook each other. So it's important to go on visits and that's a great opportunity then to take the relationship you built on the visit and carry it forward with social networking. On the other end, a photographer that does a lot of social networking and never gets out of the studio or office to show his book really isn't going to get very far at all, he's just going to be doing a lot of social networking. A photographer that sends out visual email and never sends out direct mail, never goes out to show his book and doesn't do social networking is going to get nowhere. It's really a day and age where photographers have to work as hard as they can utilizing all of the tools in a very intelligent and well thought-out manner.
I can't stress enough how important it is to treat your business like a business, and at the beginning of the year, or whenever a photographer decides to really take their business seriously, sit down and create a sales and marketing program. If you need help, hire a consultant. If you can't afford a consultant, talk to a friend who's in business. Go online and google business plans. Start to learn how to create a sales and marketing program. It's important to do this in a well thought out way. All too often, photographers work in fits and starts and they look at one way as THE way that's going to build their business. Every good business person knows that marketing is cumulative and every businessperson who deals with marketing understands that they have to have a specific message to market. For photographers, it's their vision. Then they need an audience; they need to know who their audience is. Then they need to have three to four markets to go after and then they need to have four or five ways of reaching that market. And then, photographers have to do that consistently for three to five years. So I believe social networking is critically important – we haven't even begun to see photographers, professionals tapping in. It's my feeling and the feeling of the people I've spoken to who are on Twitter, who are on Linked In, who are actively working and communicating with people through Facebook that the majority of photographers out there are either newer photographers or are prosumers who are just coming into our market. I think a very small percentage of photographers are really utilizing the social networking but I guarantee you that is going to change very quickly, very soon!

MDG 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases
Increasing HIV/AIDS awareness
HIV/AIDS is devastating Africa's most productive generation, setting back decades of progress in ending hunger. AIDS is killing farmers, teachers and health workers. Food production and life expectancies are dropping. Infant mortality rates are rising.
AIDS is preventable. If empowered with accurate information, and freed from the social taboos, attitudes and behaviors that fuel the epidemic, the people of Africa have proven that they can protect themselves and their families.
The Hunger Project is in a unique position to make a difference. Our successful programs in Africa have provided us with access to government, partnership with leading organizations, the critically missing rural infrastructure, and, most importantly, the courageous grassroots-level leadership willing and able to confront the gender issues fueling the spread of the disease.
In 2003 we launched our HIV/AIDS and Gender Inequality Workshop designed to empower grassroots people to transform the conditions that have perpetuated HIV/AIDS prevalence throughout the continent. To date, more than 1.1 million people have participated in the workshop.
We also support World AIDS Day each year, not only in Africa but around the world, to mobilize action to halt the pandemic.
Fighting Malaria
A partnership between The Hunger Project-Malawi and UNICEF was established to eradicate malaria by distributing anti-malaria bed nets to many villages has continued. The Hunger Project-Malawi provides our partners in the field loans to buy and sell bed nets at a very low price in an effort to dramatically reduce the incidence of malaria in as many villages as possible.

Hanoi Perspectives
Have you ever wondered how the media experience the city of Hanoi? A group of five travel journalists from the United States recently spent two nights at the Metropole in early May. Here's what we showed them of our fair city.
Why Kids are Going to Love the Metropole in June
We credit the shelter as one reason why the Metropole is one of the world's most fascinating hotels for kids. And in June, there's a whole new reason for kids to be keen on the Metropole, and it all has to do with The Little Prince, or Le Petit Prince, one of the most beloved children's stories of all time.

In Hanoi, no building perhaps is the object of so much adulation, and so much yearning for the past, as the Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi. The hotel's immaculate white facade … Read More

The trials and tribulations of a superhero kid and his evil twin.
High School Daze
Inspired by true high school stories!
Keegan's Truck
Follow Keegan as he runs over everyone in his path on a mad killing spree!
This is the first file (Part A) of Throwback the Duck Episode 1 on NewGrounds.com.
Thank you all for your enthusiastic support of the Throwback the Duck animated adventure series. The feedback for Episode 0 A 'Back Story was very strong and encouraging. We are deeply grateful for that.
Throwback the Duck Episode 1 picks up exactly where Episode 0 left off. As a newly hired journalist for NintendoNow, Throwback stumbles onto a dream job of classic gaming journalism. Expect an intimate look into the whimsical world that is the mind of Throwback the Duck. Despite his cheesy lines and disjointed interaction with those around him, Throwback's oddball charm has a way of dazzling many of the friends he encounters...except for a cynical little office helper.
Then there's the all important gaming factor. A familiar classic gaming face makes a cameo in this episode. I'm curious to know how many of you recognize or remember this character. His story foreshadows many of the themes explored in the cartoon series.
Production notes: Due to flash file size constraints, we were forced to split Episode 1 into two files. Hence we have Part A and B of Episode 1. Please watch the show in that order to fully enjoy it.
Also, you'll notice a subtle transition in art styles during the episode. Arthur uses a style know as "straight vs. curve" near the end. This is an evolving work, folks.
And with that said, please enjoy the show. Again, we look forward to your continued support of the series. Four more exciting episodes await you before Season 1 draws to an end.
David Gornoski
Throwback the Duck Director
Wanna interview Throwback? Or do you simply have a question or comment? Feel free to email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
This Duck takes me back to Howard the Duck movie. Very nicely done. It's the best I've seen so far.
Throwback is a fucking great series and it has just started! Keep making them and keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!
Niice animation
Impressed, its smooth and not only is the animation good, but the music you used was great for the atmosphere you were trying to show. The humour was great, extremely good for not having to have anything bad. You make the characters very interesting
I must say it improved alot. Keep up the good work...
A true masterpiece.
This review goes to both A and B.
Beautiful work fuys, congratulations on Larsen for his animation and graphic quality and Gornoski for a great script.
We rarely recieve content this impressive. The humor was very nice, something like what more series need to have. The use of characters was fitting good in the story, the scary asian guy was... well scary, hehe. Bobcat is a good charcter, I have very vague memories of it but I still remember it.
I love the point you use a lot of content related to the 80's, I bet that were great times. Also using old-school videogame characters is perfect, I have a lot of respect to the old fashioned Nintendo games that sculped different styles we see today.
Anyway, in resume: Good movie, style, effects, voice acting, everything.
I hope you keep this stories going guys! Good luck.

With an employment drop over the past year, agencies must adopt a "less with less" mentality, according Bob Tobias, director of Key Executive Leadership Programs at American University. He says executives must be honest with Congress about their limited capabilities.
Lawmakers fume over lost emails in IRS probe
The IRS said Lois Lerner's computer crashed in 2011, wiping out an untold number of emails that were being sought by congressional investigators.

Jason Miller, Executive Editor, Federal News Radio
Shaun Donovan has big shoes to fill if he is confirmed as the next director of the Office of Management and Budget. Members of Congress from both parties say they liked the former OMB head, Sylvia Matthews Burwell, now the Health and Human Services Secretary. She is widely recognized for reinvigorating the management side of the House and working more closely with Congress. Federal News Radio's Executive Editor Jason Miller joined Tom Temin and Emily Kopp on the Federal Drive to discuss how Donovan would improve upon Burwell's short-term accomplishments. Read Jason's related article.

DHS cancels $6 billon program to detect bioweapons, with no Plan B
After six years, the Department of Homeland Security decided in April to abandon its strategy to upgrade biological weapon detection equipment in large U.S. cities. But there is no backup plan so far, and the current system won't last much longer.

SARTELL, Minn. (AP) — The Verso paper mill was a key part of Sartell before it was put out of commission by a 2012 fire. And now, a local artist and Sartell High School teacher have found a way to keep pieces of it in the community.
The pair is leading a project that will repurpose pieces of building into sculptures — which will also serve as bike racks around town.
The St. Cloud Times reports (http://on.sctimes.com/1hWUqbR ) that artist Heidi Jeub and Sartell High School technology education teacher Joe Schulte plan to start sculpting this summer.
The mill opened in 1905, two years before Sartell became a city. Jeub says the mill has always seemed sort of mythical. She says this is an interesting way to let people see inside the building.

Blog Reuters :: "In a way," says Jeffrey Goldfarb today, "the scandal may have been the best thing to happen to News Corp," on the grounds that Hackgate is likely to end up forcing Rupert Murdoch to spin off his newspapers, along with HarperCollins, into a new, separate company.
I can see what Goldfarb means: it's probably fair enough, if you're writing for a service like BreakingViews, to assume that whatever is good for a company's share price is good for that company. But from a journalistic perspective, the news at News is much less good.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I have a question about Nozdormu, more or less a statement. Don't you find it odd that during the mystery of the infinite quest that Nozdormu is revealed when the infinite leader was supposed to be? Also, why would he give chromie the means to make a time redux which almost caused us to cease to exist? It just seems like he is using his powers to alter the timeline more than protect it, which makes me believe he is affiliated with the infinite dragon flight.
Also, could it be possible all of WoW's COTS were not supposed to happen the way that they did and Nozdormu is altering the timeline to prevent/cause an event to happen?
p.s. sorry i know dragons were already a topic...and if i'm way off here.
What we do know about Nozdormu allows us to speculate on the meaning of this information.
We know that when he was empowered with his powers over time by the Titans they showed him his own death so that he would know that even he and his control of time was not all powerful.
We also know that Nozy' has been missing for quite a while (according to Chromie).
This could mean that Nozdormu doesn't want to die and created the Infinite Dragonflight to change history and thus prevent the events that led to his demise.
Or the Infinite Dragonflight are somehow part of how he will die and Nozdormu created them so that his inevitable death would come to pass so that time itself would not get screwed up.
Perhaps we've only seen a small part of the Infinite Dragonflight's attacks and Nozdormu is busy dealing with most of them.
The Infinite Dragonflight could even have been created for the sole purpose of giving random adventurers something to do.
Who knows?
magicswordking said...
The common theory is that Nozdormu, being the only living being to know the time, place, and manner of his own death is trying to prevent that. Perhaps it is closer than we think, and that's why the activity of the infinite flight is spilling over into our world more and more.
My theory expands on that.
So far the events the infinite flight has targeted seem to have little to connect them. Thrall's escape, the opening of the Dark Portal, and the culling of Stratholme. The one common thread, though, is you, the player. Not only are these events key moments in history that led to the horde becoming the new horde, and the reformation of the alliance to its present form, if any one of them were to be stopped it could be argued that you, the player would never exist.
This would seem to suggest that we're going to be the ones to off him.
It's been pretty well established that he's the lead of the infinite dragonflight.
When the titans gave the dragon aspects their powers, they gave the master of time something he couldn't resist.
He went forward and saw how he dies.
So now he's doing 1 of 2 things...
1: He's trying to stop you.
Mount hyjal fails, you never get to become a cool hero, he can deal with how bad that is somehow.
Dark Portal never opened, whatever event led to you being important (like an entire war setting it up) is gone.
Thrall doesn't lead the Horde, same as above.
In this scenario, he's a selfish being trying to cheat fate. He's also probably really scared of you (and your orphan.)
2: He's setting up his demise.
You won't see that he has to die unless you know that he needs killing. And how can you manage to kill him unless you've been forged in trials designed to make you better?
In this scenario, he knows you need a push to kill him and he's making sure you do it, because, well, you do.
I still think the orphans from kids week will have something to do with it.
Well the theory is that Nozdormu is going to go all Malygos on us trying to prevent his own death, which we know the Titans showed him to prevent him from getting all cocky about his power over the timeline. Theoretically they actually caused more trouble for themselves by doing this because now Nozdormu's concocting elaborate schemes (such as the Infinites) to save his own life (possibly).
The answer is easy: He's trying to prevent his death. When the dragons as we know them, and the Aspects, were created, they were some of the biggest baddies in the world, except they aren't evil, they're guardians. Most of them have no clue what a dragon's lifespan would be, let alone an Aspect's lifespan which can be potentially forever. Thus far, Malygos is the only one who has died, and most of his brood was wiped out, and he was driven insane. So they are "mortal", they can be driven insane, they can fear things, and yes, they can die.
Since Nozdormu was given power over time itself, one of the things done by the titans, or rather, a titan, I forget who, was show him his death, and the circumstances surrounding it, and tell him that it was inescapable, nothing could prevent his death from happening then and there. Apparently, this event leading to his death is approaching, since he's been working as leader of two dragon broods, attempting to alter the timeline to prevent his death.
I still say it's going to be wildly ironic if the death he was shown was 25 of us killing him.

hey could be trying to stop his own death.
