Two minutes after ten Thursday night, I turned on my TV to watch Mitt Romney's acceptance speech. But there was Client Eastwood, giving an improvised speech that struck me as bizarre. During the past two days, the Client Eastwood show is the talked about event. If you have missed what Eastwood said, here is a transcript of it or the video. MICHAEL BARBARO and MICHAEL D. SHEAR in the NY Times report how Clint Eastwood was allowed to speak unscripted in an otherwise fully scripted convention.
Before Eastwood's Talk With a Chair, Clearance From the Top
TAMPA, Fla.—For all the finger-pointing about Clint Eastwood's rambling conversation with an empty chair on Thursday night, the most bizarre, head-scratching 12 minutes in recent political convention history were set in motion by Mitt Romney himself and made possible by his aides, who had shrouded the actor's appearance in secrecy.Continue Reading
There are many films about Christmas time and families coming together for a few days. This film is special in that it captures very well the rhythms of these family reunions. Most families find it difficult to keep any tensions that might exist under raps. The days move slowly, punctuated by rituals of eating, chatting, playing, waiting, and sometimes arguing. Everett (Dermot Mulroney) one of the five children coming home to the parents suburban home for Xmas is brining his new girlfriend Meredith (Sarah Jessica Parker). Even before her arrival, one family members labels Meredith as uptight and unlikable. Soon the entire family seems to be against her and when they find out that Everett wants to propose the next day, all but one person wants to torpedo that plan. This sets the stage for interesting drama with twists and turns.Continue Reading
Eddie Murphy is one of most talented comic actors. Unlike Ted which was fresh and made me laugh throughout the entire movie, 1000 Words has a few good scenes but remains pretty mediocre. Murphy plays Jack, a high-flying literary agent, who is angry that his father abandoned the family when he was around 10. As he trying to sign a Deepak Chopra like figure for his agency, a tree suddenly appears in his garden and for every word he speaks another leaf will fall of the tree. When all leafs are gone, the tree and he might die. As he trying to conserve words, his marriage falls apart and he is fired. To rescue himself, Jack needs to get in touch with his inner true self.Continue Reading
The Alps are a natural spectacle. Many directors, of course, have realized this. The Sound of Music, for example, was filmed in and around Salzburg. 50 Kilometers south of Salzburg lies the fortress "Werfen." Where Eagles Dare exploits the dramatic scenery of the fortress and its vicinity to stage a James Bond like spy story set during World War II. Germans have infiltrated the British Secret service and now it is time to find out who is the mole. If you in the mood for spy film set in the Alps, this is the film for you.Continue Reading
Many of recent Roman Polanksi film were masterpieces. The Pianist was breathtakingly good. The Ghostwriter manages to create a special atmosphere. But the ending was a complete letdown. I understand why Polanksi is not very pleased with American authorities who have been trying to arrest him for over 30 years. (See my recent review). Anyone who follows the news realizes how incompetent the CIA was in assessing the economic situation in the Soviet Union before its downfall and the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. The ending attributes competence to the CIA that bears no resemblance to reality.Continue Reading
I am too far away from Russia to have a sense whether Putin was clever or stupid to put a rock band behind bars for two years. Pussy Riots will become infinitely more famous after this judgement.
Eduardo Porter in the NY Times gives a good overview of the relative taxation level in different countries. What he is leaving out is that the US at least twice as much on military expenditures than the other industrialized countries.
There is something to be said for universal health care systems.
When my son developed a rash on an Italian vacation in Liguria last month, the pharmacist showed me to the doctor downstairs, who diagnosed the problem at no charge and sent me off with a handshake and a joke about a daughter in med school at the University of California, San Diego.Italy may be in a funk, with a shrinking economy and a high unemployment rate, but the United States can learn a lot from it, and not just about the benefits of public health care. Italians live longer. Their poverty rate is much lower than ours. If they lose their jobs or suffer some other misfortune, they can turn to a more generous social safety net.Continue Reading
There is a correlation between population size and medals won. But India is the puzzle. Britain did well, which seems to suggest that having the games at homes leads to better performance.

I love this Valentine's Day idea! Despicable Me has become one of my favorite movies, thanks to my 3 year old, so when I saw this idea I had to try it. When it came out so cute, I had to share it
It was around 7 pm Sunday night when I saw this "one in a Minion" idea. I got my things together and ran to Price Chopper for all the ingredients. Total, I spent $13 (Pepperidge Farm Milano's are on sale this week!!) $15 total when you add in the Minion Valentines I had already purchased. I also wanted to get these done and packaged so I used Price Chopper snack sizes bags, but you can use any bag to seal them.
Now, I am not the most artistic person, stick figures are my version of art, so ANYONE can do this! I will admit, the first bag of Milano's served as practice, but then I got the hang of it.
Here is what you do:
- Start at the bottom of the cookie to make the pants. Then use the thin circle attachment on the blue icing to make the overalls.
- Use black icing to seal the eyes on the cookie, draw a line on either side of the eye to create the goggle line. (If you use anything other than candy eyes, place a black dot on the eye)
- Use black icing to draw the mouth
- Let cookies sit for about 30 minutes before you package them so the icing will dry.
- Place cookie in bag and seal (seal will be lengthwise if you use snack bags)
- Glue or staple Minion Valentine to the bag.
- If you don't have the Valentines, use card stock to create and print your message. Many people use "Valentine, you're one in a Minion".
And that's it!! Super easy and they come out so cute!!
I was done with these in about 2 hours. Don't judge me, I already admitted I wasn't artistic! But once I got the hang of it, I was able to make each one pretty quickly! My son did "help" me, but he was more interested in seeing the finished product! So, this is a great project to do together as a family as well!
I can't wait to send these to school with my son! They are not "perfect" minions, but I love them!
Let us know if you try this "one in a Minion" Valentine's Day treat! Share your pics on Andres's Coupon Club's Instagram or on Andrea's Coupon's Club Facebook page!
Happy Valentine's Day!

New Geography Blog
My ten year old son, who is a self-described Geography Freak is starting a blog with some help from mom. Please take a peek here. We'll be journaling what we're studying and discovering as well as trying to encourage "The Map Guy's" siblings and friends to get more interested in Geography. We're aiming to cover a continent every two months so that we get through six continents (we'll skip Antarctica for now) by next year's National Geographic Geography Bee.

How many times have you heard someone say that? Turns out that it's true! Numerous studies show that not only is laughter good for you mentally but physically as well. Winner, winner, chicken dinner! So, today's blog topic is laughter – because we could all use a lot more of it in our lives.
Did you know that April 14 was International Moment of Laughter Day ? No joke! The unofficial holiday encourages people to forget the stresses of daily life and give into the healing and relaxing power of laughter. HA!
Why is this so important? Health is important. It's that simple. Laughing can reduce stress, increase blood flow, lowers blood sugar levels and can even promote better sleep. It can lead to reductions in stress hormones. When a person laughs the brain releases endorphins that can relieve some physical pain. It can increase immune cells and infection fighting antibodies. It can make it easier to cope with tough situations, can help lessen depression and help you connect with others. And here's a personal favorite – laughter can help you burn calories! Okay, so not a lot of them, but still it can be a small assist to your fitness plan. Fifteen minutes of laughter can burn ten to 40 calories. Who knew?
The point is that laughter is beneficial in many ways. It's a tough world we live in and some days it's hard to find anything to smile about; much less laugh about. Humor can and does make a difference – at work, at home, in our personal and professional relationships. Finding a reason to laugh is important for our physical and emotional health.
So, I will leave you with a thought that made me chuckle just a little – "An apple a day keeps anyone away if you throw it hard enough."

A LETTER A WEEK Challenge

Noela - this is an awesome approach to the project! I love when one's seeming limitations (not a calligrapher) open the way to something much more expansive and unusual! The use of wire and teabag is brilliant (no pun intended), to form "suncatchers" and I think using the Mayan alphabet as an inspiration, is, well, inspired. Here's to stretching the boundaries...best of luck as this process continues!ReplyDelete
Hi Noel,ReplyDelete
I like the project very much and your income is fantastic.
your letters seem like pieces of jewelry!
Best, Ralf
What an interesting project and your interpretation here is fabulous.ReplyDelete
These are terrific NoellaReplyDelete
Hi NoelaReplyDelete
Very interesting work
what a wonderful project-- can't wait to see the final piece where they will all become part of one big artwork.ReplyDelete
N- well done for going outside comfort-zone; but great patina bleed you seem to be getting from the wire between the sheets. All looking good. BReplyDelete
une profondeur différente.. avec ou sans flash..ReplyDelete
c'est bien de voir la structure qui est très belle!

Duterte to order daily monitoring of corruption
President Rodrigo Duterte will arrange the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to direct day by day checking of degenerate people both in government and the private division.
Talking upon his landing in the Davao International Airport from a three-day state visit to Japan on Thursday night, the President said defilement keeps on pulling the nation down.
He said he was alluding to government authorities as well as private people who degenerate government powers.
Duterte said he will arrange the NBI to lead a test and way of life beware of government authorities and work force.
Removing joining and debasement is a piece of the Duterte organization's plan to lift Filipinos out of destitution and enhance the economy.
""There will be monitoring every day. I will give you a clean government," said the President. [source]

Deep in the Southern Ocean lies the densest and coldest water on the planet. But that doesn't mean that it isn't moving.
On the contrary, a vividly detailed animation of deep ocean currents, created by Australian scientists with the help of their country's most powerful supercomputer, reveals a deep-sea world that's full of dynamic activity.
It shows underwater ocean storms generated by eddies, waterfalls of cold dense water that plummet off the Antarctic Continental Shelf into the abyss and underwater waves more than a mile high.
NEWS: Map of Ocean Currents Created from Space
"Scientists who have seen the visualization have been astonished at the level of detail," Andy Hogg, an associate professor and ARC Future Fellow at Australian National University, said in a release. Hogg is also a member of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science.
The animation required so much data that it took seven hours to process a single second of the finished product.
But the animation is more than just a bunch of pretty pictures. "Being able to actually see how the bottom water moves in three dimensions rather than just looking at numerical, two-dimensional outputs has already opened new areas for scientific research," Hogg said.
By peeling away the surface layer of water, the animation shows how the cold, dense water produced off the Antarctic coastline spreads out into the rest of the world's ocean basins. The water's extreme density and coldness drive many important currents in the ocean basins connected to the Southern Ocean.
NEWS: Tiny Sea Monkeys Create Giant Ocean Currents
The water movement also helps the planet to cope with global warming driven by human burning of fossil fuels. As water near the surface is drawn deep, it takes with it heat and carbon that otherwise would have been returned to the atmosphere.
"The inhospitable climate of Antarctica and the lack of sustained observations of the ocean in this region over a significant period of time adds to the importance of using ocean models to create visualizations like these," Hogg explained.
From Hogg's web page, here's a more detailed explanation of Southern Ocean circulation.
A new animation shows how deep ocean currents travel in the Southern Ocean.
The month of June honors both National Ocean Month and World Ocean Day (June 8). What better time, then, to check out photos of undersea life and be reminded that things "down there" are just as important as things up here on land. Here, a manatee goes about its day. The manatee, also known as a "seacow," is an air-breathing herbivore listed as a federally endangered species. Manatees are slow moving and can't swim quickly away from boats. This often results in collisions that can kill or injure them.

A white-lobed sponge brightens up the scenery. It's one of several images of rarely seen deep-sea animals that were captured on camera in Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary during a NOAA expedition. Researchers used a NOAA remotely operated vehicle in waters 328 to 656 feet deep off the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. The research was funded by NOAA's Coral Reef Conservation Program.
This image brimming with colorful marine life is from the Pearl and Hermes Atoll. It's a huge oval coral reef within several internal reefs and is the second largest among the six atolls in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands.
Having no backbone isn't always a bad thing! Just ask any octopus. These boneless invertebrates know how to squeeze into (and out of) many a tight spot. They have three hearts, nine brains and blue blood. (Two hearts send blood to the gills, while the third pumper sends it to the rest of the body.)
Rapture Reef sits within the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Marine National Monument. The monument encompasses more than 140,000 square miles of ocean and coral reef habitat.
A sea turtle swims off of the Hawaiian islands.
This seal is eager to wriggle its way back to freedom, as divers release it from fishing nets. Marine debris -- such as these nets -- makes a serious impact on its surroundings. From being an eyesore on a beach to injuring marine life or stopping a 400-ton vessel at sea, it causes problems that are difficult to ignore.

I just got back from Hawaii and thought I would take the opportunity to share some packing tips with you.
On trips like this one when I know I will be shopping, I like to take two medium sized suitcases and split my packing across them, leaving plenty of room for my purchases.
My tip to making the most of your space is to use resealable plastic bags, when you squeeze all the air out you can effectively vacuum pack your items. This also has the added benefit of protecting your clothes from leaking beauty products.
I used to fold my clothes but this trip I decided to try rolling and it definitely creates less wrinkles. But make sure while you are rolling, the garment doesn't bunch or fold as this will create wrinkles.
The other new technique I tried was to pack the garments for each day's outfit together in one large bag. That way each morning I could just grab that day's bag and not have to rummage around my suitcase looking for things.
Happy packing for your next trip!


text: Hi I have had my tank about 8 weeks or so and have 6 fantail guppies, 3 mollies, 6 tetras, 1 swordtail. 1 albino shark and 1 female fighter. I have just found a tiny baby fish in the tank. Is it likely that a pair of fish have bred already? Should I separate the baby fish from the others? Also my guppies seem to be chasing the silver molly all day long, is this normal? I know they will pester female guppies but not sure about the mollies!

We can't achieve our goals without making some effort. Summoning the willpower to put things in place and see them through can be tough. A recent study suggests that under certain conditions, we're willing to surrender motivational responsibility in the hope that our support networks will pick up the slack.
Gráine Fitzsimons and Eli Finkel looked at planned health behaviours across several experiments. Female participants were firstly asked to provide an example of their life partner helping them to fulfil a goal, either related to their health or, as a control condition, their career. They then rated how much time and effort they intended to put toward their future health goals. Those that recalled their partner helping with health goals slacked off, committing to less effort for the future. (We could think of this as the Jiminy Cricket gambit.)
To better understand the effect, the investigators evaluated depletion theory, which proposes that our capacity to self-regulate is a resource that is eaten up by use. In one of the experiments, participants completed an easy or tricky typing task before giving their examples and ratings; the tasks were designed to deplete a little or a lot of regulation effort. The slacking-off effect was greater and more significant for those in the tricky task condition, suggesting that being short on resources makes you more willing to let another shoulder the strain.
Another experiment examining academic goals found that considering partner support leads us to throw cautious willpower conservation strategies out of the window. Here, students of both sexes were given a fun puzzle to play before a valuable but taxing task that researchers claimed would benefit future test-taking. Half the participants were warned the puzzle would soak up effort needed for the taxing task, and they strategically spent less time on the puzzle, hoarding their efforts for later – unless, that is, they'd been asked at the experiment start to think about their life partner helping them in academic situations.
Personal goal-setting at work commonly involves identifying others who can support your goal. This is intended to enable and encourage, but this research demonstrates the possibility of perverse effects. However, it doesn't differentiate between support for activities that were possible anyway ( getting up for a 6am run) from support that provides a platform for further progress (sign-off for a work shadowing exercise). I suspect the latter, enabling support is genuinely motivating as it decreases, rather than increases, excuses for inaction.
Regardless, it's clear that under some conditions we let others act as our conscience while we decrease our motivational efforts. We can resist this, by making it clear from the outset that we alone are responsible for success. Or, like Fitzsimons and Finkel, we could take a more celebratory view, seeing that "partners may develop shared self-regulatory systems" that allow them "to best make use of their limited self-control resources over time." But we should definitely keep an eye on this tendency. Preferably you, if you have a minute.

Considering how others can help with goals leads us to plan less effort towards reaching them

It's worth noting that recent research suggests willpower depletion effects may only occur when we hold the belief that willpower is a limited resource.ReplyDelete
Reference here
Reframing willpower as an unlimited resource may therefore be another method of preventing individuals from off-loading their responsibilities onto others.

It's important that we stay on top of the latest design and print trends and that we are able to predict what's coming next. This isn't just because we live, eat, sleep and breathe design (although we do), it's also because we want to future-proof the branding we create for our clients. As we've mentioned in our previous blogs on rebranding, it's a good idea to review your brand every two to three years. However, we also want to make sure that the designs we deliver to our clients look fresh for as long as possible – because that's another way that we can be sure they are getting value for money.
So, here's our predictions for design trends in Spring 2017:
- • Illustrative. The trend for illustrative design has been growing for some time now and we think this is set to continue. In fact, we used it ourselves for our own branding. This type of design works brilliantly for brands that want to come across as modern and forward-thinking but also friendly and less formal. Illustrative design can also be a really fun look for new and quirky brands, or it can even be used to soften the image of large corporations.
- • Retro and simplified. When all the global brands start doing something – you know it is going to trickle down to smaller organisations. 2016 was the year of the retro logo, with brands from Co-op and Aldi, through to Kodak and Bacardi going back to their roots. But it is not just long-established brands who can do this. The exciting new hotel chain Good Hotels (did we mention that we are working with them? We can't remember…) have a logo which is simple and retro in appearance. A retro or simplified logo is great for brands that want to quickly become instantly recognisable. Like Good Hotel, brands with strong, core values also often opt for simple logos which suggest transparency and honesty.
- • Colours – relaxed, vibrant and representative of nature. According to Pantone, we can expect to see this type of palette in Spring 2017. Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Colour Institute says that we are likely to choose colours, "reminiscent of the hues that surround us in nature, our Spring 2017 Fashion Colour Report evokes a spectrum of emotion and feeling. From the warmth of sunny days with PANTONE 13-0755 Primrose Yellow to the invigorating feeling of breathing fresh mountain air with PANTONE 18-0107 Kale and the desire to escape to pristine waters with PANTONE 14-4620 Island Paradise, designers applied colour in playful, yet thoughtful and precise combinations to fully capture the promises, hope and transformation that we yearn for each Spring."
So there you go – our Spring 2017 trend predictions. Of course, you don't have to subscribe to these if they differ from your preferences. We also love working with trend-setters. Hopefully this has given you a little inspiration for your design and print projects.

Yes, We all know that German efficiency prevailed in this years FIFA World Cup on the pitch, but who won the biggest prize off the pitch in Brazil this year in the battle for social media supremacy? Nike? Adidas? or even Samsung?
The World Cup attracts viewers all over the globe as it was reported that 88 million people had more than 280 million social interactions related to the final of Germany v Argentina. With such staggering statistics, social media becomes a viral marketing nest for brands to gain attention on the largest of scales. Everywhere on social media lay a viral campaign spread by big name brands fighting for social status on who can be the most popular player in the social media playground.
Let's take a dive (pun intended) into the brands that competed in the social tournament for the prize of the best viral campaign, with this year's Top 5 campaigns based on effectiveness and success.
5. Samsung – Galaxy XI
The Training:
View Count: 124,374,254 views
By far the most ridiculous of all viral campaigns, Samsung's Galaxy XI series takes on the alien empire which is over running earth, very similar to the last game however instead of The Incredible's it took inspiration from Alien v Predator. Whilst subtlety integrating Samusung's Galaxy gear and delivering an interesting story series, it managed to rake in one of the highest viewer counts, yet the ridiculousness of the video almost distracts and puts off viewers from Galaxy products as a cheap tacky product.
4. Beats By Dre
The Game Before The Game:
View Count: 24,501,341 views
Beats by Dre presented another cinematic type film with portraying the reality of life for players before the game. Beats by Dre looks into the everyday life of players looked upon as god like figures while subtly playing their products within their everyday life. The objective seems to be that Dre is giving the audience an inside look into the hidden lifestyle of these superstars, forcing a comparison of similarity to be drawn with viewers own lives. this places the product with the real life of players, distancing the common perception of Beats by Dre being a materialised product which is only worn in front of cameras to keep marketers happy.
3. Mcdonalds – "Gol!"
View Count: 18,087,146 views
The most lighthearted of all the top 5, Mcdonalds has aimed to draw paralell with brazilian society, putting the culture of football into its Gol! campaign. Again, the product is not even present throughout the campaign as Mcdonalds aims to draw an emotional story for viewers to witness and serach to watch on the web. This interactive campaign encourages viewers to become a part of the project by downloading its app at www.mcd.gol.com (a football flicking Game). Its in the app where the Mcdonalds magic of plastering logos everywhere begins, as users are then exposed to the brand of Mcdonalds.
2. Adidas – "All in or Nothing"
The Dream
View Count: 90,314,729 views
a part of Adidas' greatly successful "all in or nothing" campaign, The Dream tops the list with the tactic similar to that of Beats By Dre to pain the human side of the football superstars replicating victorious moments with Adidas equipment and apparel Incorporated into its film. A Great contributor to the success of this specific viral video is the specific featuring of German and Argentine players, who both appeared in the final.
1. Nike – "Risk Everything"
The Last Game
View Count: 240,684,123 views
By far the winner of the viral world cup, Nike has taken a completely original twist on the slightly aging strategy of playing a 'Superstars XI' against another team with its Incredible's themed The Last Game. The short's cartoon twist on current superstar players makes it a must watch for all fans who support the players and teams they are involved with. As a result its products are exposed to nearly a quarter of a billion viewers with the subtle measure of 'product placement' strategies within the brands own short films. Following the video has been many side projects including extra's and short add on's to keep viewer counts rising and the video to still trend across all social media platforms.
Underlying Strategies:
The strategy throughout all the top 5 viral's is the same: Create content that represents a story, not a product. The objective is to seamlessly integrate the product within the story, the heavy use of sub conscious strategies to integrate products into videos that are sought after for the story, is what creates such successes for all of the above brands.
Awareness is built at the sub conscious level, rather than the 'in your face' conscious level.

Producers of ebooks have strongly resisted selling their collection to public libraries in the US and Canada. It took several large organizations and years of trying to increase awareness before they gave in. The American Library Association (ALA), 3M and Overdrive have lobbied the major book publishers for access to ebooks and now each major issuer has at least a pilot project or dispenses handpicked titles to public libraries.
Some of the trade publishers have unfounded fears according to one published author that giving away their ebooks will devalue them. These producers assume they will lose sales if ebooks are loaned out for free and this makes it very challenging for libraries to provide what their patrons desperately want. One way publishers are navigating the issue is to charge unreasonably high prices for an ebook license that covers loaning it out.
Most people still prefer to read a physical book. It is still a long way off before ebooks displace print books as the medium of choice for reading. It may never happen. But it is clear that ebooks are incredibly popular with library patrons. This is demonstrated by the numerous requests for ebooks and ereaders made to librarians every day.
Libraries as a whole can be a strong force and show publishers that they can really help the bottom line. An example of this is 3M's Cloud Library Service and the new tools that let libraries sell ebooks that can earn them a commission. This gives the libraries an opportunity to be retailers and to help fund their operation. Everyone can win in this situation as long as people are ok with the concept of public libraries selling stuff.
Just imagine if public libraries fully embraced the concept of selling ebooks. They would instantly become the ultimate sales channel and marketing tool for book publishers. Library websites would include every ebook title the publishers carry. Patrons would be able to borrow many ebooks for free but they could purchase any ebook they want and the library would earn a commission for each sale. It would start to look a lot like the Amazon Kindle Owners' Lending Library (KOLL).
Speaking of KOLL, Amazon found that one in four people that borrow an ebook for free end up buying one. The book publishers would be salivating over the possibility of offering their ebooks at public libraries. Libraries could use the money they make off ebook sales to offset their costs and to help purchase more titles to offer for free. The result would be better funding for libraries and larger collections.
Since ebooks are virtual goods the cost of allowing public libraries to sell them is minimal. You just need a technology partner that is willing to implement the platform. OverDrive would be happy to be that technology partner. They already power pretty much every library with their ebook platform and they would probably implement the functionality for free just so they don't lose the business.
Imagine that you just finished reading an ebook that you borrowed from your local library and you see an advertisement asking if you want to buy the sequel. That may be all it takes to offer ebooks for free at public libraries.

Not for US operators it was...
PA0O: T32C 17 slots not hrd on 80/160

Good evening Bas I too was not able to log T32C...as a matter of fact I really only heard them very faint above the background noise. Not sure if it has to do with the direction of my dipole in the attic or not. Oh well.ReplyDelete
Bas, it sure helped not having anything between them and me except for lots of open ocean. Such a great group of operators!!!ReplyDelete
hallo Bas, mooi bij elkaar die opmerkingen. Ik heb ze zelf nog nooit kunnen horen.... alleen de pile ups die de tegen stations veroorzaken. Dan schieten mijn kleine antennes toch te kort. 73 paulReplyDelete
I also didn't get to work them, however I know a fellow ham nearby who did, but he has a nice OptiBeam up high. Our club happens to be one of the sponsors too.ReplyDelete
Oh well, maybe one day when I win the lottery ...
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
@Mike, glad I'm not the only one. So, even in north america it was not that easy after all.ReplyDelete
@Phil, yes Alaska was just the place to be to work that DX. My signal on SP should bounce in Alaska and then over the water to Kiribati. But since Alaska is already difficult this was actually a impossible task. By the way I have that same experience to for example Iceland and Faroer Isl.
@Paul, en toch moet het mogelijk zijn. Als je er maar bent op het juiste moment en met heel veel geluk.
@M0JEK, yes I know what you mean. I had that with PA0O. Hope we both win a lottery...
73, Bas

Yes, Yes, Yes, by EXXON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its a question that many anglers ask each other or maybe even poke fun of others for. But in all seriousness its a question you better have a good answer for. Any business that sponsors anglers take it seriously - or they should take it seriously. And these companies want you to be able to answer that question with out sounding like the other 400 people a week sending them fishing resumes and inquiries.
So why do you want a sponsorship? Do you want to look cool? Do you believe in the product? Have you ever used the product before? Can you even talk intelligently about the products? Some times I have to even ask whether or not you know how to spell your "sponsors" name - yes I have seen it on here many times...
You have to remember that the serious anglers and the serious businesses look at this as a business model. You have determine what your angle is why you want to be sponsored before you can even start inquiring. Its not something that should be taken lightly either - I think thats what gets guys all hacked off.
A few more topics I will post up in the next few days is what should you expect in a sponsorship versus what sponsors expect from you. But if you dont know why you want to be sponsored then you need to answer that before you do anything.

I know free stuff and free tx's, for the chicks I havnt seen to many hanging around the docks looking for fishy smelling but nice looking shirtbguys lol.
But in seriousness first 2 mentioned and it makes you stand out in the crowds to be reconized.
For this a sponsor may want his product or service stenciled on YOUR boat truck ext. And promoting his product or service and using them. Unless your big enough they supply you there boat and or truck. Only one I know locally and see regular is Teddy Carr, and I have to say that man works his tail off for it. Either at seminars or on the river and every time I see him, I think if you open his closet the only shirts he has says Geico. Lol.
Also Tank and I also see working hard promoting

This is a good one......
I want to be sponsored to build "relationships" and chase my dream of fishing full time.
I already have the support and sponsorship at home by my Wife, The only thing stopping me from fishing full time is money. I am not gonna hurt my family by going into debt to do so.........
Sorry, back to Sponsorship's and relationships. I work shows for current sponsors and potential sponsors see that, and you start to build a relationship. Dont get me wrong, I am not walking around handing out resumes or looking for handouts. The sponsors see the hard workers and the slackers (guys looking for free stuff) and when they want you to represent them they will approach you. To me, its more satisfying when you get approached, rather doing all the approaching.
Relationships- I have a relationship with my rod sponsor John Ballard. I can call him any time, any day and I get him on the phone. When I have an idea for a rod we talk about it and if he agrees he makes it happen. He calls me on my birthday, we call each other on holidays. He ask how the kids are doing. I go down and stay with him at his house to pick up rods or field test something new in the pond at his house. I know that the relationship I have with him is more valuable than any free baits or money. He has my back, and I have his.
Those are all great points. Did I mention the CDI factor?

Ok, you asked for it.
A few years ago I was really into seeking sponsors, but I chose to focus on a specific niche. First, they had to be products that I believed in, fit my fishing style, but also were newer, smaller companies. I wanted to join on the ground floor and help them grow. This approach actually helped me land a couple. For this effort, I receive a bunch of free and discounted stuff. Things were good and I was happy to represent them through my club, at tournaments, and online. Unfortunately, over time, these companies either went out of business... or, I'm not really sure what happened to the others, but the communication faded. My first two, one out of California closed up shop. The second one of out Idaho sold off to a saltwater company out of Florida. Both these companies made hand-pour finesse baits which I loved and still miss to this day. Man... they were soft and the colors totally unique. They were pretty much one guy operations and that was where I wanted to be. I wanted to help them grow. I guess I failed, but through many conversations with the owners, they knew they got themselves into a losing venture. I guess it just caught up to them.
More recently, with my latest companies, I started having hard time reaching the owners by email and phone. I requested catalogs and samples to take around to local shops, shows, etc. But the catalogs never came. I would set up meetings because I was told a catalog was in the mail... It never came. I could really only show interested parties the what I had onhand and direct them to the websites. Personally, I like to hold a bait in my hand before I buy it. I can't expect a tackle shop owner to invest in a bait brand without seeing, feeling, and even using a particular bait. I must not be a good salesman either, but I tried. The other went the route of, I am not sure how to describe it, but a pro-staff where you have to spend a certain about of money each year to remain on the team. I was one of the originals so I had my fees waived. But as they grew, I couldn't reach anyone in the company, by email or phone... At that point there was really nothing I could do for them. So in these latest cases, I've just let myself fade away.
I really felt honored for the opportunity to represent these companies and felt pride in it too. As I've aged, I have realized that I won't be fishing on the Elite Trail anytime soon either. But I love the fishing industry and rather be involved in that, then working any other 9-5 job.
Lastly, I remember the time when you got shirts, hats, visors, etc from a company when you purchased products or you could just buy the gear. This showed people what brands you supported and you were pretty much a walking advertisement for them. Now, anyone can get a jersey, sponsored or not, and pretty much put any company on it. The companies don't mind because you are giving them free advertising, but it has diluted those who truly represent a company. There was a point I would approach someone and ask about a company they were wearing because I was interested. A true pro-staffer, like Tank with JB Rods, knows the product, can explain all about the company and products. Now, I just look around and everyone has companies on their shirts. It really has be hard to tell a true pro-staffer from... what has been deemed on Urban Dictionary, a Patch Pirate (see below)! Haha, it makes me laugh.
1. Patch Pirate
One in the bass fishing community who shows up to to tournaments and other gatherings wearing patches and logos of product found in the fishing world trying to portray the image of affiliation with a brand. Gernerally speaking these are the type of people who are on internet forums preaching the word of fishing and how great they are, but are usually posers' who work a regular 9-5 job and would like others to think they are professional fisherman.
"At least you will look like you know what you are doing if you fish with that patch pirate."
In closing I hope I don't sound bitter because I am not. Nothing in this is post is directed at anyone, any company, any club, any product, anything. In all these instances, there has never been any bad blood. Things just change over time and I accept that. These issues are just something that have been on my mind for a while and you guys are good group to share it with. I look forward to hearing similar cases or perhaps some humbling... that I too was nothing more then a Patch Pirate.. lol!...

The world of social media has gained some serious attention from users all over the globe. If you ask someone what he/she do if they come across this news that all the social websites are down for one week, yes one week only then what would be their response? Of course they will be shocked and they may not like this idea at all. The reason, of course would be their dependency and usage.
However, that was a question that you may ask from those who use such domains for personal activities, if you would ask the same question from those that are running a business and use these channels for marketing and branding purposes, what would be their response? Let's don't even go into that zone.
Three major roles are associated with social media and these roles may perk up the over search engine optimization campaign for businesses.
Web Real Estate and Raw Information:
Before going into further detail, let's have a look at the ways in which search visibility may be swayed by these channels, especially when the markets are fast paced ones, Dubai markets here would be a good example. Stating things genuinely the picture may not be as big as they are shown.
Most of the information posted by you on different social media channels may be treated different by Google that other content posted on the same channels. For those that are of this view and use social media Dubai heavily must understand that posting on such social channels is not going to amplify the authority levels of their domain, even if they mention their link on all the messages posted by them in groups, on their timelines and pages created by them. This information may prove useful to you in various ways.
Google may treat some content posted on these channels different to other, for instance platforms like Twitter that is fully indexed in all the major search engines, especially Google.
Therefore, if you Tweet something on such platforms you might as well come across them while search for something while other similar social channels are not indexed. Because of these indexed channels like Twitter, you may get an edge as your visibility on search engines due to tweets may improve.
You must calm down and avoid jumping into conclusion, after going through the aforementioned facts, 95% of the tweets shared by you may go un-indexed due to their poor content and lower authoritative worth.
Social Signals:
This domain is also an area of illusions and misconceptions as it is not clear to many. As a general thought, it is believed that an article of blog that is posted and shared several times may amplify the rank for that article or blog when it comes to Google ranks. I would suggest that one must hold his/her fire and don't act so fast, the real trust is social signals does not denote to the amount of time a user may have shared his/her piece of writing on such networks using their news feeds.
Recommended: Advantages Of Marketing Through Social Media
However, it may just denote to the actual number of individuals who actually shared that piece of writing directly from your domain with the help of sharing buttons that may be available in your On-Page setup because this is something that can be measured accurately by Google.
Although, the said social signals may be significant to some extent, but they cannot be classified as the 'make-or-break' figures or role players in perking up one's website rankings. The genuineness and quality of one's content, the domain authoritativeness and the inbound links are always going to be treated as a significant asset. There are, though different ways that may augment the popularity of one article on social channels and may help in improving the ranks.
More Inbound Links and Improved Visibility:
This by far can be classified as one of the most useful and helpful approach that may be applied on social media channels if one is keen to aid his/her SEO campaign as a business owner.
Inbound links, due to their reliable authoritative building nature in the world of SEO may make the difference real for you. They key to success in this domain, however would be based on the fact that how natural and authentic those inbound links are.
A good way to improve the number of these inbound links to your public domain would be to improve the number of contacts and get them engaged with the content posted by you.
If the quality of the content posted by you is supreme, on a rough note 1 in 100 people will click on the linked text provided by you and will get in touch with your website. So, in simple words, you may expect 10 visitors from a total of 1000 contacts (estimates given as a rough estimate based on assumptions).
Coming back to the original argument, social media cannot be said to be the major role player behind this effect. It may a lot more depend on the facilitating and associated conditions that may be taken as exceptions by major search engines, Google in particularity; however they may still be classified a noteworthy part of one's long-term SEO campaign and marketing strategy.
To be precise, it all depends on how smartly you take on things and what is your ability like when it comes to produce high level content that is worth ready and has got what it takes to engage the reader.

This script is an improvement to a previous one... for the moment only for Illustrator version 10, but I'm working on one for the newer Illustrator versions as well.
This script will extract text captions from an entire folder of AI or EPS files and save them to a text or CSV file (which can then be edited in Excel or just a plain text editor). The captions can later on be imported automatically back to the same location as the original text. This is a perfect tool for various translation workflows.

Hi, Razvan.
The reason you can't see the script is because it's not here. You can purchase it from me if you're interested in it. Contact me by email for more info (my address is at the top of each page)

Good news, bad news, no news, dips, no dips, who cares. As Goldman sales/trading desk says, never look a gift-Bernanke in the mouth (especially if he ends up in a frozen lasagna at a store near you).
From GS:
A solid rally today and new cycle highs for US equities – but that's where the story stops. No obvious catalyst. No bullish data. European stocks traded well, with most people pointing to a better German ZEW print, but it's not clear why that would translate into such a strong US trading session. Maybe it's best though not to look a gift-horse in the mouth.
One can't help but laugh at this "market."

I-CON 2001: Stony Brook, NY
I-CON is not primarily a game con, but a classic-mode science fiction convention with multiple tracks and a lot of media guests. Various Chimera staffers have been going to I-CON off and on since 1997, but this is the first time we spent the majority of our time in the gaming track area.
The Gaming Area

Pallagrello Nero thought to be extinct was rediscovered in the 1990's in an abandoned Campania vineyard. The color is deep ruby. The nose denotes intense aromas of black cherry, plum tobacco and vanilla. The palate mimics the nose with big structured tannin, but balanced by the alcohol.

Duration:2-3 seconds
|Saw a bright light that was white/blue/green in color while driving down interstate and then it suddenly turns off.
I was driving on I-80 going home and I noticed a light in the sky that was white on the inside and blue/green surrounding it. I am watching it fly across the interstate and then the light suddenly turns off and I don't see it again.
I thought it might have been a shooting star at first but moving way to slow and close for that. Then maybe a helicopter with a bright light on it but it seemed like it was moving too fast and I've seen a helicopter at night and it wasn't as bright as this.
I don't get involved with this UFO stuff because I'm not really into it but this was freaky and I had to research it more and I came across this website and figured I should report it. It wasn't normal and I'm trying to rationalize it but I'm having trouble doing it. There is a national guard stationed near Seneca, so it may have been a helicopter but the way the light looked just doesn't add up.

NATURE NARRATIVES: 3 seasons of butterflies
By Melissa Walker
Our suburban backyard aspen grove, only 40 feet by 50 feet, is now quiet and mostly still. Summer's songbirds have migrated south and nighttime's cold air lingers until noon. Some mornings the only motions I detect are the falling aspen leaves - spiraling and catching the sun's rays like summer's butterflies.
I have been captivated by butterflies this year. The book, "Chasing Monarchs," by Robert Michael Pyle, inspired my renewed interest in observing butterflies. The author encourages everyone to pay more attention to butterflies and to help these flying works of art to thrive. All that butterflies need to survive are habitats of native flowers, shrubs and trees that are pesticide-free. Even a window box of native flowers may attract and nourish a butterfly that needs nectar, especially since so many plants in our natural lands have been devastated by drought, wildfires and floods.
My observations began on March 14 when I spotted my first butterfly of 2013: a Mourning Cloak. With its velvety dark wings etched in bright yellow, the butterfly was a welcome sign of spring. It fluttered over our small pond and into the aspen trees. I noted that the temperature on this early spring afternoon had reached 60 degrees, the minimum flight temperature for butterflies.
All summer long, yellow Tiger Swallowtails decorated the air and flowers. I could never predict their flight path, when they would alight on a flower or disappear over the fence. The Swallowtails leisurely visited our purple coneflowers, sucking nectar through their hollow, straw-like tongues. They are well named, with black stripes on their broad yellow wings.
It was mid-summer, July 18, when I first saw a Monarch butterfly, its wings boldly patterned in bright orange and black. Monarchs appeared occasionally from July through October, pausing to gather nectar on the coneflowers and butterfly weed, or alighting on the milkweed plants. The milkweeds are essential to the survival of Monarch butterflies because Monarchs lay their eggs exclusively on milkweed plants, and their caterpillars eat only milkweed leaves.
I didn't expect to see many butterflies after September, but I was wrong. On Oct. 3, a Monarch and a Mourning Cloak fluttered through our aspen grove and dozens of light yellow butterflies nectared on dandelions. On Oct. 10, a Checkered White, with black checker-like squares on its wings, found nectar in purple asters that were still blooming in a sunny spot on the south side of our yard.
On Oct. 21, when I stopped by the Garden of the Gods Visitor and Nature Center, I noticed a golden rabbitbrush shrub that was covered with insects. As one of the last plants in bloom this fall, the rabbitbrush was a magnet for scores of butterflies, moths, honeybees, flies and beetles. The butterfly that caught my eye was a Painted Lady, strikingly patterned in colors of orange, yellow and black.
I saw at least a few butterflies every day that I looked for them in October. Even this afternoon, Nov. 2, as I walked through Rock Ledge Ranch, I saw one tiny yellow butterfly. It landed on the ground to gather the sun's warmth, then took off through the split-rail fence and out of sight.
All of the butterflies will get through the coming winter in different ways. Some will lay eggs, then die, yet their offspring will emerge next year in the warmth of spring. Some will survive the winter as a pupa inside its chrysalis, and remarkably, some will overwinter as adults in sheltered places. Most remarkable of all, the Monarchs will migrate all the way to southern Mexico, an almost impossible journey.
It is time to say goodbye to the butterflies as autumn gives way to colder days. Clouds hide Pikes Peak, then clear to reveal winter's snowy signature. Very soon, all the butterflies will disappear from our view…waiting until springtime to re-emerge.

On 11:30 by Unknown in Nexus No comments
The nexus 5 is the best phone in this price range, it does come with a small battery & the camera is not the best considering other flagship models but the fact that you get the latest chipset from Qualcomm & the adreno 330 GPU along with 2GB ram & most important of all updates from google for the next 18 months at least makes this phone a value for money product, another stand out feature for me is Corning Gorilla glass 3 which means a screen guard is not required for the screen however some may disagree. Pro & Cons have been discussed in many other reviews so i thought i would state a few battery saving tips. 1) Screen brightness set manually as per requirement & not on auto. 2) Turn Off Google Now if not required. 3) Uncheck Wi-fi scanning even when wi-fi is switched off. 4) Bluetooth,GPS, Wi-fi,NFC & other wireless features switched off when not required. 5)Vibrate on keypress also switched off. 6)Refrain from using Live wallpapers. 7) Keep Widget usage to a minimum & keep as few home screens as possible. 8) Manually update apps switch off auto-updates as constant search for updates online does drain battery. 9) Toggle between 2G/3G as per requirement, especially considering 3G reception is still not great in india. 10) Kill all apps that you dont want running in the background

As a bonus I also got my hair done on Saturday. :-)
Week 12 here I come!!!

Marquis Hawkes
Born in London, and growing up between the capital and Suffolk, Marquis Hawkes led somewhat of an outsider existence whilst growing up. Existing at the fringes of his peer group, he was drawn towards the alternative side of youth culture. Taking in reggae, punk and psychedelic rock as a youngster, he was bitten by the house bug after hearing the likes of D-Mob and Armando in 1988. His alternative outlook and passion for house and techno drew him towards free parties and festivals, and he cut his teeth DJing whilst living as a New Age traveller at illegal events in the mid-90s. Surviving on food discarded by supermarkets, he would spend his dole cheque on records.
Sleeping on borrowed sofas and in blagged squats, he started producing in 1997, on borrowed equipment and blagged studio time, and against the backdrop of the Midlands' underground house soundsystem scene. Releasing under his birth name, Mark Hawkins, most notably on Dutch label Djax-Up-Beats, gave him the opportunity to DJ on techno's lesser-explored frontiers. Moving between Europe and the UK during a few years of moderate success, he settled in Berlin for its less pressurised existence, leaving his aspirations for his music career to one side.
When old friends at Dixon Avenue Basement Jams came knocking for demos a few years later, the label was conceived as a "fun thing", without any great sales expectations. Mark adopted his new moniker - a slight twist on his given name - and concealed his face in press shots, in order that his latest music be judged free of expectation from and comparison to his previous output. The quality of his releases was evident to listeners, but their success, and that of the label, came as quite a surprise to all involved. Marquis Hawkes soon found himself in demand, with labels like Clone and Aus tapping him up for 12"s, before a relationship with Houndstooth blossomed, a series of EPs leading up to the release of his highly-acclaimed debut artist album 'Social Housing'.
Throughout his life, Marquis Hawkes has always made music, without taking any view to its success. He's developed a very particular ear for the sound he wants to make - funky, but with a punk ethos. He explains his outlook best himself: "I feel music to my very core, an endless love affair where I am always searching for something better than I've heard already, whilst also celebrating the classic tunes and styles which have been made before."

It's spring, no it's winter, no it's spring...
And so we enter what could be called "severe storm season" here in Tennessee. The yoyo weather has begun, and with it will be all the variety of winds and rain, hopefully not tornadoes and floods like last year. It is starting pretty early this year. I hope we will all be safe for the next three months. Last May's floods were devastating and too many people still have not recovered.
