Which Monetization Method?
We recently covered the seven most common monetization methods, or ways that websites can make money from their traffic. As noted in that post, the method that's most appropriate for a specific site will depend on the specifics: the niche, the audience, the type of content, the amount of traffic, and the loyalty of visitors (among others). Today, we'll help you figure out which monetization method is the best fit for your specific site.
As we've noted previously, most websites should be monetized via multiple revenue streams and it's likely that the best route for your site to take may involve more than one of these:
Method #1: Display Advertising
What It Is: One of the most common forms of website monetization, display advertising simply refers to the banner and text ads that you see on most sites. Good Fit If: This monetization route is often fruitful for sites that have:
- Significant Traffic. As an extremely broad rule of thumb, most sites can make somewhere between half a cent and five cents per page view from display advertising. That means that in order to make significant revenue here, you need to have a pretty big audience.
- Valuable Audience. Note that "valuable" can take many forms, depending on what the advertisers out there are looking for (more on this below). Generally, the wealthier an audience is the more attractive it will be to advertisers–though that isn't always the case: for example, an audience of thirty-something women may be extremely attractive to someone looking to advertise jewellery, but relatively worthless to someone promoting a new role-playing video game.
- Relevant, Active Advertisers. This is perhaps the biggest factor that will impact your success with display advertising; if there is an abundance of active advertisers who would be interested in appearing on your site, your odds of success here go way up.
Bad Fit If: Display advertising is a popular monetization method, but of course it isn't for everyone. Specifically, any sites with paying users may want to think twice, especially if there's any risk that you'll annoy your subscribers with an abundance of banner ads. Andrew Sullivan's The Dish stands out as a site that made the conscious decision to avoid display advertising and focus instead on subscription revenue. Here's an excerpt from the subscription page there:
That's why we've begun a new experiment in web economics: no ads; no corporate owners; just readers paying for content they enjoy and value.
How To Proceed: If you think display advertising is a good fit for your site, your next decision will be whether you want to sell ads through a network (such as Google AdSense) or try to sell directly to advertisers and ad agencies. Going through a network will get you immediate results with little upfront costs, but selling direct will ultimately lead to much higher revenue. Stephen Chapman at ZDNet has some good tips for boosting AdSense revenue, while While Steven at Dukeo.com has thoughts on conducting a blog advertising audit.
Bottom Line: Even if you're not going to make a ton off of display advertising, the ease of implementing this monetization method makes it worth embracing for most website owners out there.
Method #2: Affiliate Marketing
What It Is: Affiliate marketing involves steering your visitors to products and services of a third party merchant; if that merchant converts your referrals to a sale, you get a slice of the action. Below is an integration of an Amazon widget into a sports blog; for each sale generated through that widget, the publisher gets a portion of the total purchase price.
Good Fit If: Affiliate marketing can be a good fit for sites that feature regular product reviews or include a forum:
- Product-Centric Site. If your site features regular reviews or head-to-head comparisons of products, software, or other services, there might be some good affiliate marketing opportunities available.
- Easy Integration Into Content. Affiliate marketing can be most effective when affiliate links can be integrated seamlessly into existing content on your site.
- Forum-Centric Site. Affiliate marketing can also be an effective monetization route for for sites that feature active member forums.
- Profitable Niche. You can likely make a bit of money via affiliate marketing in most niches, but of course some will be much more lucrative than others.
Bad Fit If: Again, affiliate marketing may not be an ideal monetization route if your audience relies on you to be an objective expert on a subject or if they're paying you for the content you produce. There's almost always some trade-off between the amount of money you can make via affiliate marketing and the level of trust that exists with your audience. If you're not willing to sacrifice a bit of that relationship, affiliate marketing may not be for you.
How To Proceed: Similar to display advertising, affiliate marketing involves a choice between utilizing a network (e.g., Commission Junction) or setting up direct relationships with merchants. Again, a network will be more immediate and easier to set up but direct relationships can be much more profitable over the long run.
Bottom Line: Like display advertising, affiliate marketing can be very easy to implement (and start collecting affiliate payments) if it's a good fit for your site.
Method #3: Lead Generation
What It Is: Lead generation can be thought of as a cousin to affiliate marketing; it involves capturing information about qualified visitors (such as email address or phone number) and selling that information to a third party who may want to sell to that "lead." Thumbtack generates leads for a wide variety of businesses, from handymen to pet sitters to legal assistants:
Good Fit If: Lead generation can be an extremely profitable business, but most publishers probably won't have a site that accommodates this monetization method. If your site meets these criteria;
- Needy, Engaged Audience. By this, we simply mean that you cater to an audience that comes to your site looking for more information on a particular topic (and may be in the market for additional services that you can't provide online). If, for example, you publish a home improvement blog, you might attract readers who could have use for a general contractor. As such, you might be able to capture leads that can be sold.
- Professional Services Focus. Lead generation tends to work really well when there's a high potential value of a converted client. That's generally the case when any sort of professional service or big ticket item is up for grabs; lawyers, insurance agents, universities, and car dealers are able to pay handsomely for highly qualified leads. If you have a site that's a logical fit in one of these niches, lead gen could be a good opportunity.
Bad Fit If: Lead generation won't work well if your site doesn't cater to a targeted audience with a consistent and logical need for some product or (more likely) service; for example, a general news site or political blog doesn't have any logical tie-ins to third parties who might be interested in acquiring leads.Lead generation can also be a poor fit if you have a relatively small but loyal audience that visits your site regularly. This monetization method is more effective for sites with a high percentage of "one off" visitors.
How To Proceed: The easiest way to get into the lead generation game is to work with one of the major lead aggregators out there, such as QuinStreet. Spencer Haws has some good thoughts on lead gen niches; Dragan Sutevski has a detailed series of posts on the basics.
Bottom Line: If your audience is right for it, getting into the lead gen business can be relatively painless–and very profitable.
Method #4: Email Rental
What It Is: Email rental is exactly what it sounds like: renting out your email list to third parties looking to promote their products or services to your audience. You essentially agree to send an email on their behalf to your distribution list; they provide the content and call to action in the email, and you provide the audience to whom it will be distributed.
Good Fit If: Email rental is appealing because it can fetch some premium rates; it isn't uncommon to be able to charge $50 or more per 1,000 addresses on your distribution list. It can be good for your site if you have:
- Big (And Expanding) Distribution List. If you've built a big email distribution list (for example, through offering an e-newsletter), email list rental could have some serious potential.
- Regular Email Communication. If you communicate with your audience regularly via email, they're likely to be willing to tolerate an occasional promotional email. (Think of it as the price they pay in exchange for receiving high quality content on a regular basis.)
- Relevant Advertisers. In order to make serious money off of email rental, you need to be able to find renters–third parties who want to promote themselves to your audience. It helps if you have a targeted audience (i.e., interested in a particular topic) and there are other companies in the space interested in tapping into that audience.
It's unlikely that email marketing will be your primary source of revenue; this monetization source is often tapped in conjunction with display advertising or other methods listed here.
Bad Fit If: Email list rental won't work if your audience isn't willing to tolerate what are essentially third party ads being emailed to them. So if you don't provide significant value to your list via email on a regular basis, pursuing this strategy could result in an extremely high unsubscribe rate.
How To Proceed: Email rental can be done through networks who hook you up with interested parties, or you can go directly to potential partners and attempt to cultivate a relationship without a middleman.
Bottom Line: If you can pull it off without driving a wave of unsubscribes or spam complaints, email list rental can be a very attractive and significant supplemental income stream. David Ronick at Inc. has a great article on the economics of e-newsletters, and Scott Hardigree has some good insights as well.
Method #5: Subscriptions
What It Is: Subscription revenue is generated by charging visitors to access content placed behind a "paywall."
Good Fit If: Your ability to effectively make money off a subscription business depends on the quality of your product (i.e., is it worth paying for?), the size of your audience and your marketing skills.
- Valuable Content. A subscription revenue model really only works if you have content that's worth selling. That sounds obvious, but it's something that a lot of website owners don't fully appreciate. Take an honest inventory of your site or, even better, a survey of your users; if your content is truly unique and worth paying for, a subscription revenue model might make sense.
- Large Audience. In addition to a quality product, you need someone to sell it to. Starting a subscription website from scratch can be a daunting task; you generally need to have an existing audience to whom you can sell. In other words, you'll be more successful in expanding to a subscription model if you've already built up a loyal following to your free site.
- Freemium Opportunity. A subscription model generally works well if you have the ability to provide the bulk of your content for free while charging for a smaller portion of the premium content. This can take many forms–keeping more articles free while publishing a handful of paid-only articles each week, for example.
Bad Fit If: There's a fairly high hurdle to clear here: your site has to have content or tools that users are willing to pay for. Just because you're putting out content that users are happily consuming for free doesn't mean that they'll immediately fork over a monthly payment if you offer a premium package.A subscription model might also be a bad idea if you're making decent money on display ads; putting content behind a paywall means it gets fewer pageviews and lower ad revenue.
How To Proceed: Setting up a subscription site requires quite a bit of behind-the-scenes work before you can accept payment. You'll need to figure out how you'll process user payments, what your pricing strategy will be, and what content and/or features will be behind your "paywall" (among many other details). MemberGate has a good checklist for adding a subscription business; Danny Sullivan also has some great insights on pricing models.
Bottom Line: Adding a subscription business on to your existing site can be a great opportunity to open up a lucrative revenue stream–provided that you have (or can build) a product worth paying for and have an audience capable of paying for it.
Method #6: Online Store
What It Is: Exactly what it sounds like: a store online (i.e., a section of your website) where users can buy branded merchandise.
Good Fit If: Opening up an online store might be a good move if you have a strong brand and an audience that identifies with it:
- Strong Brand. If your brand is well recognized, a store could be a good fit. You don't have to be a household name across the country. It's fine if your brand recognition is on a micro level.
- Loyal Audience. If your audience consists of "power users" who visit your site multiple times a month and love the contentyou put out, you just might have the makings of a successful online store. These users are most likely to want to purchase some branded merchandise, and will be more likely to respond to an emotional appeal from you to support your site.
Bad Fit If: You have a transient audience. If visitors to your site are primarily from search engines, who have searched for terms related to your website and not your products, they may not be willing to purchase anything from your store.
How To Proceed: Again, there's a lot of work that goes in to setting up an online store. You'll need to figure out how you're going to make the merchandise, tackle shipping logistics, and of course nail down how you'll be processing payments.
Bottom Line: For most publishers, this won't be a big money maker. But it can be a nice supplemental revenue stream for sites with a strong brand and power users who like to show their support.
Method #7: Online Events
What It Is: A webinar or conference that users pay to attend and/or a sponsor pays to put on.
Good Fit If: Online events are tough to pull off, but can pull in some major dollars if you can find a relevant sponsor.
- Relevant Content Partners. Pulling off an online event is going to be a challenge, but will be much more manageable if you're able to worry only about supplying the audience. If you have a partner who can provide quality, worthwhile content for the event and leave you to focus on getting the attendees, your odds of success go way up.
- CE Credits Available. In order to make money from online events such as webinars or conferences, you need an audience who would be willing to show up. That's much more likely to be the case if they need to do so in order to satisfy some sort of continuing education requirement.
Bad Fit If: No one is going to show. Even if you have a relatively big audience, getting them to show up for a live event can be extremely challenging. Unfortunately, this is going to be the case for most publishers out there; no matter how big and targeted your audience is, and no matter how much they love you, they're probably just not that interested in a webinar you host.
How To Proceed: Get to work lining up a content partner (if you decide to go with one) and, more importantly, a sponsor. Then be sure to fill those virtual seats so that you deliver value to everyone involved! Carol Tice at Entrepreneur.com has some good thoughts on making a webinar a success, and Andrew Spoeth at Marketo has some tips for increasing attendance.
Bottom Line: Online events are a lot of work. But the payoff can be huge; there's an opportunity to make as much in a few hours as you usually do in a month if you can get the proper sponsors.
Questions To Ask
Below is a series of questions to ask yourself about your website, along with some direction to monetization methods depending on your answer:
Do you communicate regularly with your audience via email? Do you have a large collection of email addresses?
If "yes" to both, email list rental might be a good fit.
Do you have a high percentage of loyal "power users" — repeat visitors who come directly to your site?
If "yes" an online store, online events, or affiliate marketing could be worthwhile.
If "no" lead generation might be a good fit.
Is your audience considerably wealthier than the general Internet population?
If "yes" display advertising and email list rental could be your biggest opportunity.
What is the subject of your website?
If your site covers products (e.g., electronics or books) or includes a forum covering just about anything, affiliate marketing could be an opportunity. If your site touches any sort of professional services or big ticket item (e.g., insurance or weddings) lead generation could be profitable.
If your site caters to an audience that needs regular continuing education (CE) credits (e.g., psychologists or financial advisors) online events could be a money maker.
Do you have direct relationships with any potential advertisers or merchants?
If "yes" follow these relationships to a monetization method; if it's a potential advertiser, get a display advertising arrangement set up. If it's a merchant, kick off an affiliate marketing relationship.

The manhunt for a third suspect in the shooting of an Oklahoma police officer ended Friday with the person's capture.
Police caught Alejandro Garcia shortly just past 7 a.m. in Liberty, Kansas, after several car chases, Fox23 reported.
Earlier, Cesar Rios, 23, and Roxanna Mendoza 20, were taken into custody after Oologah police officer Charles Neil was shot in the head during a traffic pursuit late Thursday, police said.
South Coffeyville Police Chief Wade Lamb told the Tulsa World that the incident began when a Talala officer tried to stop an SUV in Rogers County, Oklahoma, but the vehicle sped away. The SUV occupied by Garcia and the other two people made a break for Kansas, Lamb said.
As the three drove north toward the Oklahoma-Kansas border, someone fired shots from the vehicle at Neil' police car. Neil was assisting the Talala officer in the chase. Neil was struck in the head, Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper Dwight Durant said.
The cruiser crashed into a ditch, Durant said. The officer was airlifted to a Tulsa hospital. Neil was alert and talking, Fox23 said.
Authorities said Rios and Mendoza were apprehended when police used stop sticks to blow the SUV's tires in South Coffeyville, near the Kansas border.
Fox 23 said an AR-15 and body armor were recovered from the vehicle.
Garcia fled on foot, carjacked another car and shot the driver before pulling away, Lamb said. That victim, an elderly man was shot in the neck. He was expected to be okay, the station said.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Volvo will only make electric and hybrid cars starting in 2019
Volvo is done with entirely traditional engines and exclusively gas-powered vehicles, the company announced. By 2019, Volvo group intends to offer only either fully electric or hybrid engines on all new models, making it the first automaker to commit to using only alternative drive trains.
The end of the solely combustion engine-powered car did seem like an eventual inevitability, given the advantages of electric and hybrid from a manufacturing and performance standpoint, and given the industry's heavy investment in autonomous vehicle tech. But for Volvo to commit to going entirely hybrid and electric just two years from now is still the strongest sign yet we've seen that the purely combustion engine's days might be numbered sooner, rather than later.
Volvo already had a target sales figure of 1 million electric and hybrid cars by 2025, and now that target seems well within reach given it's all it'll be selling in terms of new vehicles. Volvo also announced it would launch five new electric and hybrid cars between 2019 and 2021, and that two of those will be made by Polestar, which the company recently announced would become its own subsidiary and brand selling performance EVs, likely to compete with high-end Tesla models.

Hi. Welcome.This is a question for the tournament forum.Going broke with top and bottom is often correct if the stacks aren't deep. What were the blinds and the preflop action?
I'm invincible. Like Super Mario when he gets that star thingy.

For most people decorating house is not a big investment but still, they don't understand the importance of flooring and how an epoxy floor coating can make a huge difference in making the house look more beautiful. Naturally, there are certain aspects of a building or house that prioritize over the other. To have a good quality durable floor coating is quite essential for the safety and maintenance of a house or commercial/industrial building.
There are innumerous benefits of an epoxy floor coating, check them below:There are innumerous benefits of an epoxy floor coating, check them below:
Create a seamless and easy-to-clean surface
Floor coating has become a prime choice for most of the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical preparation and packaging plants. As these places, it is quite necessary to have a good ambiance where this flooring makes the floor easier to maintain and look beautiful.
Turn a concrete floor into a durable surface
They can absorb any kind of damage and stay in tip-top shape for a longer time. Thus, if you are looking for a floor to last long and can carry a large number of foots and weight then epoxy floor coating is the right choice.
Its coating material is chemically resistant
In industrial and manufacturing plants and warehouses, the floor coating is quite necessary where usage of chemicals is on a regular basis.
Thus, this specific coating creates a slide, force, heat, and fire resistant floor and assures safety for everyone and many people too prefer to use this coating as it is immediate and easy to apply and completely environment-friendly.

Jack Stock and Mules in Missouri
Editor's note
The following abstract describes a publication that is only available for purchase. A link to ordering information is on this page.
John Ashton and Duane Dailey
Extension and Agricultural Information
Melvin Bradley
Department of Animal Sciences
John Ashton was well known in agricultural journalism at the turn of the century for his in-depth and interesting articles on all facets of agriculture. This history of Missouri mules, written in 1924, is one example of his legacy.
A brief history of mule breeding from the Phoenicians to George Washington opens the book. A detailed description follows of how the mule came to Missouri, as well as its uses and biographies of Missouri's leading mule breeders.
Mules were once very important to Missouri's fields and mines, and raising mules was quite profitable for some. William A. Elgin of Platte County learned how profitable when he received prize money totaling $5,000 for six mules he showed at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition of 1904, also known as the St. Louis World's Fair. It is here that people worldwide began to take notice of the "Missouri Mule."
Following Ashton's history are two essays about Ashton's career as a student and journalist. The book also covers leaders in Missouri development and politics in education and pre-extension organizations such as the Missouri Board of Agriculture.

So here is my Oscars post! Sorry it's not sooner, but well, I chose The Walking Dead over this to watch last night. I know, I know, but Daryl! I couldn't not watch it. So today I caught up and it was worth the wait. Both the fashion and the entertainment didn't fail to impress, me at least.
I know some people didn't like the "nipple effect" Anne Hathaway's Prada dress gave her, but I thought she still looked beautiful. This girl can do no wrong in my eyes. She has gracefully grown from Disney Princess to Hollywood starlet. Her humbleness touches me and she will always be a top contender for me.
Catherine Zeta-Jones rocked the old Hollywood look on the red carpet in Zuhair Murad and gave a great performance of "All That Jazz" on the stage.
Charlize Theron wowed in a white peplum Dior Couture dress. Even though she had to cut her hair for a role, she still looked like such a movie star. This gown is perfect for her lean figure because the peplum gives her the appearance curves.
Oh, Eddie Redmayne. What's not to like? He's tall, British, green eyes, freckles, and a voice to make a girl swoon. He certainly did not fail to impress in his Alexander McQueen tuxedo. Also, his performance with his Les Miserables co-stars was just so incredible and moving. It gave me chills.
E! News host Giuliana Rancic looked beautiful in Couture Rafael Cennamo. I love the way the fabric folds around her body to give her a hourglass figure.
The always handsome Hugh Jackman continued to charm in his Tom Ford tuxedo. This man can never look bad. His performance with his Les Miserables co-stars was phenomenal. And how sweet was he when he rushed to help Jennifer Lawrence up after her now infamous fall? Such a gentleman.
Dior spokeswoman, Jennifer Lawrence made an impact in a Dior Haute Couture gown. I still am undecided on this girl, but she definitely looked beautiful in this dress. I loved how the backwards necklace really emphasized the gorgeous cut of the back.
One of my favourite stylish men Joseph Gordon-Levitt did not fail me Sunday night. He looked very charming in a Gucci tuxedo and his trademark hitRECord red pin. This man has a certain old Hollywood vibe to him, which is rare for the men of this day and age. Joe certainly pulls it off perfectly. And how adorable was he during the opening? I love to hear him sing and watch him dance.
The second component to one of my favourite couples, Jennifer Garner looked pretty in a plum Gucci gown. Her art deco-esque necklace was to die for! She always looks so effortlessly beautiful.
Miu Miu clad Kerry Washington looked glamorous last night. I love how she kept her jewelry to a minimum to really play up the embellishment of the bodice. I would liked to have seen her hair a little different. Perhaps a little more volume or even a messy updo.
Phwoar! Naomi Watts killed it in Armani Prive. She is one of my absolute favourites to watch on the red carpet because she looks beautiful in everything. She is a complete knockout and I wouldn't change a thing about this look. She makes up one part of my other favourite Hollywood couple.
Besides being incredibly funny and having a very sexy voice, Seth MacFarlane looked very dashing in his tuxedo.
Here is Liev Schreiber looking devastatingly debonair beside his lovely partner. These two are just perfection. I love how down to Earth they seem. They're like Barbie and Ken. Liev never fails to look like the perfect accessory to his missus' red carpet looks. Plus, hello Team Scruff!
Zoe Saldana, in Alexis Mabille, wowed on the red carpet. I adore the shades of grey on the bottom, the belt, just all of it! The by far, my favourite part is from the waist down.
Another of the awards season's ones to watch, Amanda Seyfried looked angelic in Alexander McQueen. She wore a similar look the last time, but I think this one is better. Plus she wore her hair up to really show off the neat neckline.
Amy Adams, one of my favourite actresses looked effortless and chic in Oscar de la Renta. I love her hair up like that and the fact that she kept her jewelry simple. That bracelet is so pretty!
Mmm...Chris Pine. Chris looked gorgeous in a double-breasted Ermenegildo Zegna tuxedo. That man has the prettiest blue eyes and ehm...Team Scruff! Yum. I cannot wait for the next Star Trek.
Flawless. Flawless. Flawless. Jessica Chastain looked like Jessica Rabbit in Armani Prive. This could have gone wrong with the flesh colour of her dress washing her out, but it didn't at all. The classic red lip tied it all together. This woman is so stunning.
I'm not really a big fan of Kristen Stewart or her red carpet looks, but even I must admit that she good in her Reem Acra frock. She was even able to ditch the crutches for some photos. I just wish she would have done something with her hair. I'm so tired of seeing like she was in a wind tunnel.
Nicole Kidman has been hit or miss lately, but I thought she looked quite pretty in L'Wren Scott. I know there's been a lot of backlash about her hair, at least on E!, but I don't think it's that's bad. At least it's not that stick straight look she always wears.
Wowza! I adore Olivia Munn in this red and gold Marchesa gown. I heard that she had to get sewn into the dress because the zipper wouldn't stay up. Oh, what we do for fashion. It was definitely worth it.
Salma Hayek switched things up in Alexander McQueen. Instead of showing off her lovely decolletage, she showed off this gorgeous gold collar that forms the sweetheart neckline. This reminds me of something that Michelle Dockery would wear. I'm glad she wore her hair up, but I just wish it would be different. It sort of reminds me of a shih-tzu...
Oh, Reese... Witherspoon looked so beautiful in her cobalt blue and black Louis Vuitton frock. I am having some serious hair envy here! Check out those waves and that volume! I'm usually more of a sweetheart neckline girl, but I love the black panel across the top and on the sides, giving the illusion that she's even tinier than she is.
Sandra Bullock looked dazzling in this bejeweled Elie Saab gown. I loved the gorgeous diamond hair clip that held the left side back, I just wish her hair would have had a little texture to it. But then again, I am more of a waves/curls kind of girl. I just feel like the straight hair is a little bit too much of an every day look. Though the clip definitely helped offset that.
All of these ladies looked absolutely lovely, but here are my top five favourites.
Jessica Chastain
Naomi Watts
Amy Adams
Reese Witherspoon
Olivia Munn

No, really! You believe me, don't you?
Yeah, well. Maybe you shouldn't.
I'm tired, and stressed out, and have a headache, and, you know, insert a million more excuses to not write here.
I'm doing better with exercise, but exercise is easier than writing. Programming is easier than writing. I can write fairly difficult programs half-asleep, but I have to be awake and alert to write. Installing linux is easier than writing. It's just so tempting to unwind a bit by doing all these easier things instead of writing. But no, I have a script to write, and as soon as I stop whining I'll go do that. 😉
Okay. Three pages. If I'm really good, maybe I should treat myself after by installing linux on some of the spare hard drive space on my laptop.

When shooting photos at a holiday party with your extended family and friends, there are lots of ways you can capture a dud. You might over- or underexpose the photo. Or, your subject may be out of focus. Sometimes, you might just miss the shot altogether for practical reasons, like running out of battery power. The list can go on and on.
Here are a few tips to help you shoot great holiday photos, whether you're looking for a formal family portrait or a casual candid. And while I wrote most of these tips for a digital camera, most of them also apply to shooting photos on a smartphone.
Be sure to charge your battery. You don't want to take the time to set up a great-looking photo only to find that when you're ready to start shooting you're out of power. One important rule is to always fully charge your batteries, and, if you can, have a spare battery on hand. This is particularly important if you are shooting outside in a chilly part of the country. The same weather than can create a photogenic snowy scene will tend to drain your batteries quickly—if you do have a spare, try to keep it warm in an inside jacket pocket.
Shoot on cloudy days. Whether you're shooting indoors or outdoors, look for good lighting. For outside shots, shooting on a cloudy, overcast day may be ideal since it will prevent harsh shadows from appearing on your subject's face. If you want to shoot on a cloudless day, plan ahead and see if your can shoot during the early morning or early evening, which are the best times to capture photos—the sunlight is softer and more visually pleasing.
If you're indoors, you'll probably need to use your camera's flash. First, try using the auto setting. If you're not satisfied with the results, turn on the slow-sync-flash mode, which leaves the shutter open after the flash fires. The downside: If there's any movement in the scene, you'll get some motion blur, although you can also get some very cool effects with slow-sync flash. It's worth experimenting with. If you have an external flash on an advanced camera, such as an SLR or mirrorless camera, try angling the flash so that the beam of light bounces off the wall or ceiling. This creates very natural lighting and helps avoid the red-eye effect. (If you do capture photos that have subjects with red-eye, don't worry: You can generally correct that by using image-editing software or an app.)
For outdoor shoots, dress warmly. Although this seems like a rather obvious tip, it's important, particularly when your photographing kids during the holiday season. Don't ignore this tip even if you're just running outside for a quick photo shoot in the snow: You don't want pictures of people looking uncomfortable and eager to get back inside. Don't forget about yourself either. It's hard to concentrate and enjoy the process of photography if you're preoccupied by being uncomfortable.
Don't pose group shots. You can learn a lot about shooting family gatherings from wedding photographers. And some of the best of those pros avoid rigidly posing their subjects, even when they are asking people to stand together for a group shot. Often, it's best to let people congregate, more or less, instead of positioning them in a certain order. You can still get the cousins you want in the photo while avoiding the stiffness that often emerges when you ask people to stand in a certain order. Another important tip: While you are shooting, try casually chatting with individuals in the group to put people at ease.
Check your ISO setting. If you're shooting with an advanced camera, such as an SLR, it's easy to set a high ISO setting, and then forget to change it back to a low ISO setting or to Auto. For example, I once accidentally shot an event at 1600 ISO, and the photos were very noisy or grainy. Unfortunately, there wasn't much I could do after the fact to remedy those flaws. So, be sure to check your ISO settings before you start shooting.
Make sure your main subject is in focus. Check your photo to see if the main subject is in focus, especially when shooting indoors. Today's cameras have such fast autofocus capabilities that it's easy to accidentally focus on another object in your composition as you're about to snap the shot. When that happens, especially in low light, your main subject may look soft or incorrectly exposed.
Look for expressive gestures. Candid photos are often the most captivating ones. Be on the lookout for expressive gestures. I know that when my relatives get together, their faces can become very animated when they're engaged in conversation. Also, look for moments when your subjects are joking or clowning around; these can make for a great holiday photo.
Know your equipment. Before a family party begins, take a few minutes to review your camera equipment and settings, especially if you don't shoot very often. Depending on your camera or device, you may be limited in the number of settings you can change, but it's best to be able to switch among them during an event without having to resort to a manual or lots of experimentation.

Stacy Lund Levy
Don't be afraid of the Darks
January 11 2017
Our demonstrator for the January meeting was Stacy Lund Levy. Stacy worked as a medical illustrator until she decided that she would like to depict the subjects of her paintings and sculptures without all the extra information contained in the internal organs and structures. Now she paints flowers, portraits, and animals.
For her demo at our meeting, Stacy's theme was "Don't Fear the Darks". She began by talking about a painting she did of a black cat against a dark tile floor, and explained how she achieved the darks in that painting. She then demonstrated mixing darks and applying dark shadows to a partially-completed painting of a succulent, bringing out the form of the leaves.

Jameis Winston teases Florida when discussing Jaguars blocking miscue
Former Florida State and current Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston couldn't help himself when he took a jab at his alma mater's rival, Florida, on Wednesday.
Winston discussed Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bernard Pierce's blocking gaffe during last Sunday's game in which he accidentally blocked his own teammate on a Buccaneers punt return. The former Florida State Seminole laughed about the play and compared it to a similar play committed by the Gators a couple of years ago. Winston even suspected that something fishy is going on in northern Florida.
"I don't want to throw no shots, but I am cause they Gators, but the Gators were blocking each other against Georgia Southern two years ago," Winston said to the media. "And Jacksonville is close to Gainesville so it's something going on out there."
The play Winston joked about was the epitome of a game many Gators fans likely want to forget. Florida lost to Georgia Southern, an FCS school, 26-20 in what turned out to be the beginning of a miserable 4-8 season in 2013.
You can watch Winston's comments, as well as the play many Gators fans might have erased from their memories below:

Ok, so I sucked at doing the 100 Happy Days thing. There are tins of things that I see everyday that make me happy. What didn't make me happy was trying to remember to post a picture each day!
So now I am in Lake Placid. Been working on re tiling the living room. Slow progress but I'm Hoping to finish today. Day 2 the water pump broke. 2 weeks later amd it's finally replaced!
Aidan is in Miami and heading to the Keys for a week. He's even going to the Tortugas, which makes me so jealous! Hope he appreciates it!
It's been good to see Mom with her broken arm and all. July 21st that damn cast comes off!
Sadly, a good friend of mine died the other day. I am thankful to be here for his wife if she needs anything. Many good memories and he sure will be missed by many.
On a good note, I have plans to meet up with one of my oldest friends who is in the area from Idaho visiting her family. We plan on surprising mom tomorrow! And...hopefully meeting up with 2 other dear friends for lunch and maybe little roadtrip to Cross Creek (check one off the old bucket list!).
I miss George bunches, but am enjoying getting some things done around here and not having to deal with making dinner or anything like that. I am eating whenever I feel like it...or not at all! But really, I can't wait for him to fly down. We are hoping to tube the Ichetucknee (yes, another strike off the list!).
Since I'm posting this via my phone, I cant rotate the pictures or even get them where I want them. I'll have to go back and fix it up when I get home.

Evernote Review
Can insert multimedia; Toolbar and tags keep you organized; Others can view notes; Premium version grants offline access and lets others edit notes ; Syncs notes across all devices
No handwriting recognition support
Evernote for the iPad organizes all of your thoughts and multimedia into one place, and then syncs it across all your devices.
Evernote has long been an organizational staple for phone and tablet users, enabling them to take and personalize notes with photos, audio and tags, and sync them across devices. Whether you're taking notes on a lecture and simultaneously recording audio or just making a grocery list, Evernote syncs with all your devices, as well as with Skitch, so you never miss a beat.
After we installed Evernote on our iPad, the app prompted us to create a free account by entering our email address, a username and a password. We then received an email asking to download Evernote on our desktop, phone or other mobile device by clicking the given link. That way, all of our notes synced with all of our devices. In addition to iOS, Evernote is available for Android, BlackBerry, Mac OS X, Windows Phone 8, and Windows 8 and 7.

Beneath are green tabs for Places, Tags, Notebooks and All Notes, which reminded us of hanging folders. Tap one of the tabs to enter that particular folder (which expands to fill the whole screen), and tap the Evernote elephant in the upper-left corner to return home.
The All Notes tab displays all of your notes, which you can arrange by list or grid view, and filter by the date they were updated or created, or by title. The Notebooks tab compiles all of your notebooks into a grid view, so you can group notes however you like and create as many notebooks as you want. In this tab, a + button adds a new notebook, while a Trash button shows what's in your trash. The Edit button on the upper right lets you change the name of a note, delete it or share it.
On the bottom-left part of the interface is a small star that, when tapped, opens a Shortcuts sidebar. Here, you can view notes that you've tagged with a star; it's yet another way of getting to frequently used notes.
We also like that Evernote gives you tips on how to use the app. For instance, it tells you to tap the + button to make a new note and to tap the Info button on any new or existing note to assign tags.
A toolbar between the note and the keyboard contains such functions as italics, linking, bullets and checklists. We really appreciated the toolbar; if we were typing a longer document, the highlighter tool was useful for making a piece of text stand out.
On the lower right are even more features, which allow you to do things like set reminders, add the note to the Shortcuts menu and export the note via text message, Twitter or email. Unlike on Notes Plus, handwriting mode isn't supported in Evernote -- which we really missed -- but a fourth icon on the bottom lets you export the note to Skitch, where you can further annotate the note.

Premium Features
An Evernote Premium membership costs $4.99 per month or $44.99 per year. The perks of the Premium membership are offline access to notes; a boost in uploads to 1GB per month (the free version is limited to 60MB); and the ability to add a PIN to protect your accounts, view past versions of all notes, search within PDFs and let others edit notebooks. Although this is an expensive service, it's the only note-taking app we've tested that has the capability to let others edit your notes.
We recorded an audio note while typing notes -- a feature we could see coming in handy for students who want to record their professor's entire lecture while simultaneously taking notes. Audio came through clearly, and we saw no stuttering or lag in typing while recording audio. Evernote's recording feature merely inserts an audio clip into a note, but you can use the microphone button on the iOS keyboard for dictation.
We shared one of our notebooks by tapping the Share button within Notebooks. (First, tap the Edit button on the upper right, and then tap on which notebook you want to share.) Then, just select Invite Individuals. When we tried it, the invite emails sent instantly, and when we tapped Open Shared Notebook and entered the login info, it displayed all the notes within that particular notebook. However, users can only edit notes if they have a Premium membership.

When we opened notes on another iPad, they all were pinned to the exact locations where they were created, and zooming in on each flag was quick.
Content synced between devices instantly; we never had to wait for our most recent note to appear.

Farm Tours
Even though the Tyler Place offers more to do right on the property than most guests can squeeze into a single family vacation, many families take the opportunity to explore the surrounding hillsides and farms of Vermont. Showcasing these local farms connects you directly to our community—and the historic roots of the Tyler Place Family Resort, formerly a working farm for many generations. Many of these local purveyors help us fill our tables, with everything from eggs, meats and produce to the maple products that stock our Gift Shop shelves.
Here are some of the farms and vineyards just a short drive from your accommodation at the Tyler Place:
CARMAN BROOK FARM – On the Fortin Road in Highgate Springs, Vermont. A working sugar house and sugar bush, dairy farm and maple gift shop.
BOYDEN VALLEY WINERY – A fourth generation Vermont farm growing over 8,000 grapevines and producing more than a dozen international award-winning grape and fruit wines.
GREENWIND FARM SIGHTS – This Vermont family farm includes calves, heifers, draft horses, a sugar bush, and gardens full of strawberries, flowers and vegetables. Julie and Steve's maple syrup can be found in our Tyler Place Store.
HEALTH HERO FARM – This family-run organic farm offers grass-fed beef, pastured eggs, veggies, and organizes a local multi-farm CSA. Farm education and farm tours (by appointment) are their specialty.
SNOW FARM VINEYARD – Located in South Hero, Vermont in the Champlain Islands, this family run vineyard produces award-winning wines and has been featured in Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Food and Wine and The New England Wine Gazette.
SHELBURNE FARMS – Located on Harbor Road in Shelburne, Vermont, Shelburne Farms was originally designed as a model agricultural estate in 1886 by Dr. William Seward Webb and Lila Vanderbilt Webb. Now a national historic site and a nonprofit environmental educational center. Tour the grounds, try milking a cow in the Children's Farmyard, and stop in to watch their farmhouse cheddar cheese being made.
VERMONT WILDFLOWER FARM – The Vermont Wildflower Farm is a famous destination for wildflower gardens, with 6 acres of wildflowers.
CHOINIERE FAMILY FARM – Located in Highgate Center, this family-run organic farm is where we send our organized weekly adult tour.
"We love the food! It was great to be able to try new things: Zumba, art classes, sailing… We also really loved the farm tours – Guy really gave a nice tour. Made sure to hit the omelet station today just to try eggs from his farm."

The Knicks just dealt with the face of their franchise being unwilling to play the position that would help them win most with the style of play in the current NBA, I am talking about Carmelo Anthony's unwillingness to play the four for the Knicks the past few years despite the fact that he could be the perfect small-ball four.
Now that Kristaps Porzingis is officially the face of the franchise that problem persists, Porzingis doesn't want to play center.
Here is an excerpt from a story by Stefan Bondy of the New York Post:
"I think it's better for us," Porzingis said Wednesday. "Me at the 4, especially if I'm playing against a non-shooting 4, I can do a lot. When I'm playing against the 5, I'm fighting with the big a lot of times and I'm wasting a lot of energy. Obviously, offensively I have an advantage at center, but I'm just more comfortable playing at the 4."
"Fours are usually smaller, and I can shoot over them easier," Porzingis said. "If it's a non-shooter at power forward, then I can be under the rim on defense and protecting the rim and that's what I love."
While there is some merit to what Porzingis is saying about playing at the four will prevent him some of the physical wear and tear of playing the center position that could be difficult for his slight frame and sap him of some of his vitality to be the Knicks number one option on the offensive end, everybody knows that Porzingis is potentially the dream center with the direction the league is heading.
A 7'3″ player with his coordination and athleticism that can be a rim-protector on defense and stretch and run the floor to space out the offense on the other end. That is the most dangerous weapon you can employ at the center position in 2017.
The Knicks aren't necessarily committed to winning right now anyway and with Joakim Noah, Willy Hernangomez and Enes Kanter on the roster there is not a great need for Porzingis to play much center for the time being. If the Knicks want to become a contender in the future though, it feels like their best path is to build around Porzingis as their freakishly skilled center.
