I had used some maps to clearly understand where Bellevue was in Washington and learned that it was in the county of King. I had the links I had received in my comments to pursue. I was ready to close the page, but since it was still open, why not run one more search with the word Seil. I might have received William's brother Kenneth. after using that search word with the others. Which I will save for later.
Then I thought Well why not run the word Titantic. If Bill resided there and was even a journalist, would not the paper introduce him as the author he was.
My first strike was not bad for a first strike. It was actually about the fact that six passengers aboard the Titantic were from King county Washington. ahhh, Now doesn't that help explain why William Seil of Bellevue Washington might know a lot about the ship in order to maintain a novel which takes place on the ship. He maybe knew someone who knew someone, etc and did an investigation.
The ship sank about ten / eleven days ago of this month in the year 1912. Sadly it took with them so many undeserving passengers who could find no room for them in a Rescue boats.
Men gallantly let the woman and children go.
Those six families the article states:
-William Harbeck, Seattle resident, moving picture producer and cameraman, was on the Titanic as its official filmmaker. He had filmed the progress of Seattle's regrading project on Denny Hill, as well as the 1909 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition.Okay, Okay , these are not clues to his family history. If I have identified his family according to the fact that he might have been born in Washington, his father is Adam E. Seil and his mother Elinor. Luckily I have contacted someone at Ancestry who seems to be well acquainted with Seil of Washington state. They are checking to see if any of the family wrote a book.
-Hugh R. Rood lived in Seattle and served as Vice President and General Manager of the Pacific Creosoting Company, a firm that creosoted pilings to protect them from shipworms
-Herman Klaber was a King County businessman known as the "hop king" because he operated the largest hop business in America, providing the main ingredient for beer.
-The Brown family, including Thomas Solomon William Brown, a real estate investor in Cape Town, South Africa, his wife Elizabeth Catherine Brown, and daughter Edith Eileen Brown. They were traveling to Seattle to visit a sister, Mrs. Josephine Acton, and possibly to live here..........................................................................................................................................
Elizabeth Brown and her daughter Edith were among those who got into lifeboats and were saved. After mother and daughter arrived in Seattle, Elizabeth Brown told her story to a Seattle Post-Intelligencer reporter.
I have actually seen the book, I wish I had gotten it, I shall have to find the publishing date.
I must admit it is a tough task to begin with out a birth date at all. Only a location and then to find out they were a journalist in Illinois. He could actually be born anywhere. It is a wild goose chase based on assumptions at first.
I happened to see this list of passengers for the state of N. Jersey.This is evidently a valuable encyclopedia just for Titantica.
Just think of the stories or Novels that could be written.
What is your reaction after seeing the movie or reading a novel of survival of the tradegy.
What is your reaction after hearing some men survived? The last link states the problems resulted from having survived the ordeal.

Nationals excited with draft results
By Bill Ladson / MLB.com
"They are mostly draft and follows," Brown said. "They are going to go to a junior college or we will follow them during the summer to see if they get better. For the most part, the better players are off the board. The ones that are left are usually tough signs or are injured."
Of all the players they selected on Wednesday, the Nationals are really high on left-hander Scott Barnes and right-hander Robert Leonhardt.
Barnes, who went to Cathedral (MA) High School, is expected to go to St. John University in the fall. The Nationals think he has a chance to throw harder in the summer. "A lot of times, those guys don't warm up until after May. We may make a run at him," Brown said.
Leonhardt nearly priced himself out of the draft. But Brown believes that he's fifth or sixth round pick.
During the two days, the Nationals drafted 15 outfielders with power including center fielder Justin Maxwell of the University of Maryland and right fielder Ryan DeLaughter of Billy Ryan High School in Denton, Texas.Maxwell missed most of the last two seasons because of injuries, and he's is still recovering from a hamate bone injury. He is expected to be out another six weeks and recover at the Nationals' Spring Training facility at Brevard County in Florida. Brown was impressed on how Maxwell performed in the Cape Cod League and believes that Maxwell is worth the risk. "We were fortunate to get a couple of reports early in the year," Brown said. "He slipped to the fourth round and we were happy to get him." DeLaughter hit over .300 and led his high school in home runs and RBIs, and most of the scouts compare him to former Mariners outfielder Jay Buhner. "DeLaughter has good arm strength and power. He is from Texas where we know a lot of good players come from," Brown said. "I saw him play in an All-Star Game and we feel that he's a power bat that will play a corner position." Right-hander Marco Estrada of Long Beach State University and Jack Spradlin of USC were the Nationals' top two pitchers. Both pitchers are expected to be starters in the minor league system. Spradlin, a left-hander, was 6-3 with 4.14 ERA. He struck out 92 batters and walked 29 113 innings. Estrada, a right-hander, was 8-3 with a 2.43 ERA in 18 games. Opponents hit .212 against him. "Spradlin has a really good curveball. He may be a No. 4 starter," Brown said "When Estrada gets to the big leagues, he will be an innings eater and a fifth starter-type guy. He has value because of his pitch ability. He really throws a lot of strikes. Over all, the Nationals selected 24 pitchers and only eight of them were left-handed. Surprising considering that they don't hardly have any good left-handed prospects in the farm system. John Lannan of Siena College was the other lefty they drafted in the 11th round. "It's just tough to get left-handed pitching. There were a lot of other lefties on the board, but they were relievers," Brown said. "We felt those two starters we drafted had fastball command. That's why we went after them."

- Pay off my mortgage and a few of my freinds mortgages also
- Buy a slightly bigger house, secluded with no noise and a swimming pool
- Set up a huge animal sanctuary in various areas of the world and adopt some children
- Buy an Art Gallery
- Buy a club where people can indulge with one another!!!
- Buy a Range Rover purely because its the car of my dreams
- Have a full time masseuse
- Travel to Brazil to experience the rainforest and Ayuhausca
- Travel to Iceland
- Buy a business that would be suitable to pass onto my children
-Buy some properties for future investments
- Buy land and a campsite in Snowdonia and The highlands of Scotland
- Inject money into decent animal sanctuarys
- Put money into shares in various companies
-Buy some horses and farm animals
-Invest in a farm so it can run organically
- Place money into Brain Tumour and Diabetes research without animal testing
I think winning the lottery would whilst be wonderful also be a hinderance and I would feel cheated to have money that I wouldnt have earnt myself as Im a proud and hard worker and I enjoy earning my own money. I would not want to change who I was with a huge amount of money being in my life and whilst many people would state they wouldnt allow that to happen I think in many cases it would naturally happen as ones whole life would change and you would evidently feel more power within your life.
I wouldnt say no though!!!
To begin with if my numbers did come up I would probably be so surprised that I would faint and I would have to be revived. I have never got any more than three numbers on any row at any time. Still we can all dream can`t we.
Here are a few things that I would do with the money
1)Pay off existing debts
2) Buy a new house
3) Pay off debts for other members of my family
4)Go on a lovely holiday
5) Buy a holiday home
6) Eat all my favorite foods
7) Invest in a business so that we can give up our jobs
8) Give some to charity
9) Buy some lovely new clothes
10) Buy a new car ( for hubby)
11)Driving lessons for me
12) Most impotant of all I would be able to afford to spend lots of time with my family.
I know none of this will ever happen but on a cold rainy day like today it is nice to be able to dream about these things.
Hey guess what...... it is Sunday afternoon and I have not checked the lottery numbers yet....keep your fingers crossed for me
I do not really play the lottery to be honest. Although I have done a couple of lines in the last few weeks only because of the raffle whereby the lottery were going to give £20,000 to 1000 lucky players. No harm in trying. But now its upto £2 a play, I really do not see myself playing it again. So I can hear people saying "well if you not in it then you won't win it". Fair play....cannot argue with that.
However lets say that I do win the lottery. The amount to win, well to be honest any will do. Depending on how much will depend on what will be on the list. Enough to pay off the mortgage would be nice but then £20,000 would be good to pay off some debt and get a decent holiday and then maybe over pay on the mortgage.
So the list of things that I would use on the money on. I appreciate it will not be to everyone's tastes. Its in no particular order.
1) Cars - I have a passion for cars and always have done. So for this, call me greedy but I would have a small amount of cars for difference purposes. IE a 4x4 for a day out in the country, a sports car for a days driving, a luxury car for a long trip etc. You get the picture. Cars on the list at the moment include the likes of Range Rover Sport, BMW 740 or 750, Porsche 911 GT3.
2) Holidays - The feel good factor when you go on holiday. Good food and good company with plenty of sun and some nice luxury items and rooms. Flying business class of course, so you arrive at your destination refreshed rather than knackered and stiff. I have been lucky enough in my life to visit numerous countries around the world but would love to visit them again. Beach holidays would be my favourite so would love to go back to the Maldives whilst at the same time, some city travel in Hong Kong.
3) Debt - Yes, there is debt to be paid off. Dam credit cards. Trying to control how I spend my money is not to bad, but its always things that come along which you do not anticipate. Food and petrol eat the most out of my monthly budget.
4) Family - My sister is out of a job at the moment looking after her little one whilst her husband works hard to put food on the table. They just about get by, but know that money would help them out a lot. My mum and dad divorced and my mum still works but she also lives on a budget. She is not all about having a big house with a big car, but I know money would just make her worry abit less and she would have the heating on more etc. My dad should really have retired by now but is still working to get by. Again money would ease his life.
5) Charity - I admit that I do not give to charity. Have a number of people knock on the door asking for money and turn them away. But then you have to look after number 1 and I am in no means flushed. But I know a number of charities that I feel are worth giving to and that's mainly because of personal reasons.
It will all depend on how much you win. Winning £100,000 for example, what do you do? Stay in your house but maybe build an extension? Add it straight to your mortgage so it brings down your monthly costs? Blow it on cars, holidays etc? Giving that amount, I would paid off all debts, then a new sensible car, a holiday and pocket some for a rainy day, some to family, then pay the rest into the mortgage pot.
I wouldn't say that we live in poverty but on the other side we don't have the comfortable life with 2 cars, and numerous luxuries holidays a year, so we work our little butts off to maintain our reasonable 2 bedroom flat, run our 10 year old car and go on one holiday a year! I don't think I want for much, and my dreams if I won the lottery wouldn't be to continually shop in Chanel and having a yacht etc but I have always dreamt of a few things I'd like to do. I don't even know what the going rate for the jackpot is these days as I see different lottery games every day but hers my small list of what I'd spend the money on.
1. Buy a house and flat
I currently have only one child, but at some point in the future I'd definitely like 1 or 2 more, so I think buying a modest 4 bedroom house would definitely be top of the list. I'd ideally like the house for security, so when I pass on my daughter (or future children) will always have the security of having a home to go to and a roof over their head. Paying rent as I am living in private property grinds my gears as I am practically paying someone elses mortgage but until I can save my own deposit I don't have much choice!
The flat I would probably rent out, so depending on the bucket load I won, I'd like to get something in central London which I could rent out for a decent amount of money and have a nice fixed income each month, regardless of if I lose the windfall.
2. Clear all my debts
I don't hav a huge amount, but since finishing University I have managed to rack up a nice £29,000 worth of student debt loans alone (eek!) and I am still clearing my overdraft, so knowing this is no longer hanging over me would be a great relief!
3. Put some in my daughter's trust fund
Of course this is all relevant of how much I won and how much is left after paying for the first 2 on the list! I'd like to think £100,000 would be a nice sum to inherit by the time she is 18 (with inflation who knows if that will even pay for her to go to university!) so this would be next on my to do list.
4. Sharing is Caring
There is no way I could win the lottery without giving some to my mum, dad, brothers and sisters. I have a big family, so cousins and aunts and uncles might be a bit of a stretch but I'm quite philanthropic so anything I could do to help I definitely would without leaving myself with nothing!
5. A new car
Since passing my test 3 years ago I have been driving the same old rattling Peugeot 206 and I am really keen on a new car! I am currently saving for a new one, but with recently going on holiday and scaling down hours at work, savings have slowed down a bit so I am probably looking at getting a new car, in the next 6 months instead of next month like I originally planned. I quite like Toyota's and Hyundai, but if I won the lottery I am sure I could go all out and get a Mercedes Benz or Range Rover lol!
6. Shopping
Well now I have done all the savvy things like savings and buying property I think it's time to buy myself some stuff! I don't mean over the top shopping in Harrods and buying ludicrous amounts of diamonds and pearls, as I think I would still hit the high street. River Island, bit of John Lewis and Selfridges, as all us ladies know a little retail therapy does the world of good!
7. Start my own Business
If I am really honest I hate working for other people and them telling me what to do, so in the long run I would love to have my own business! I'm not quite sure what it would be just yet, but it would be something to do with affordable childcare for working parents. I am realising how hard it is to juggle work and my daughter going school, as breakfast club and afterschool club cost a small fortune and there is such limited availability at my daughters school.
8. Holidays
I am sure I would enjoy a few holidays, flown first class to some exotic destinations around the world as my bucket list is to visit every continent before I die. I can think of a few trips I'd like to make, Vegas, Thailand/Malaysia/Singapore (South East Asia in General), Australia, Brazil are just some to name a few.
These few things are just the tip of the Iceberg and no doubt if I achieved even half of the list I'm sure the money would run out! I don't even buy lottery tickets as to me its a gamble that never pays off lol, but its always nice to dream about what I would do!
Come on...is there anyone in the country who hasn't thought what they would do if their number came up on the lottery?? Me and my fiancé are always talking about it....he would up sticks and move, I'd be happy to enhance the life we have already.
Firstly I'm not greedy, a few thousand would be nice to pay off our debts and put a deposit down for a bigger house...but the jackpot would be amazing!!! a dream in fact.
You really cant do anything until the money shows in your bank...I don't think I'd believe we'd won until it showed up. Then the first thing I would do is pay off money owed to a certain family member who leant us some....and get them out of our lives forever!!! now to the serious spending.
1...a new house....we NEED one of these, living in a 2 bedroom terrace with no garden isn't ideal especially with a son and daughter....they will need their own rooms in the next few years. I like the area we live, and my son is in a great school, so a house in the area would be great. there are LOADS of fields and old farm houses nearby, one of these would be great. Of course my fiancé wants to move to the middle of nowhere in the Scottish highlands....maybe we can do that when the children have finished school.
2...a holiday....the last holiday we went on abroad was to Tenerife, self catering when I still worked. since then we've gone camping and on the sun £9.50 holidays. It would be a dream to take my children to Disneyworld in Florida....a trip of a lifetime.
3...pay off debts....not only mine (we don't have too many) but my mums too. she has always helped us out when we needed anything, she'd give her last pound to us if we needed it. yet she is the sort of person who always gets a bad deal...with loans, mortgage, even her PPI claim left her worse off....I'd love to give her a clean slate...clear all her debts and mortgage and give her a next egg to help her in future. I'd also tell her to quit her job where her boss takes advantage of her kindness, and pay for her to do her nursing/midwife degree like she's always wanted to do. I'd be happy to support her for the duration of this....
4...new things!!!! for 4 years now we haven't bought much "new" stuff. we have loads of second hand electricals, I have clothes off freecycle, my children clothes from ebay.... I'd love to go on a spending spree and buy us all some NEW clothes, a new tv for our bedroom (ours is a small portable I bought about 10 years ago when I lived at home with my mum). of course I probably still wouldn't go for the top of the range expensive products. I am and probably always will be a scrimper. even with loads in the bank I would still look for a bargain!! why waste money after all.
The last thing I would do is make sure that my children ALWAYS know who was there before the money....there have been loads of people who just pop in to see us and them, who phone weekly....yet there is a few who only see us when we visit....who only speak to us when we phone....I can imagine them coming out of the woodwork to claim their small part of our win....oh the immense pleasure I would get telling them where to go (short walk small pier) I think this would be the best thing of all...even better than the money itself....
I always think when they have the mega rollovers on the Euro millions is that too much money for a person to win, but then I would have a narrow chance of winning as I only buy one in a blue moon.
=Main Lottery=
Not that I'm being greedy but I would like to win about 4 million plus, so that I know I have enough to get things done.
=1st thing=
No it wouldn't be a round the world cruise, I would head to two places for a holiday while it sunk in, the Dom Rep, and to Tunisia, as after visiting Tunisia just recently for about 18th visit over the years it feels like a 2nd home to me.
=2nd Thing=
I would buy a house in my favourite part of Devon, and my parents have done a for me and my daughter and due to my mums ill health, she has never been able to experience foreign holidays and she loves the area.
I know people always say they would give to charity, but for me I would donate to at least 4 charities, the first would be Marie Curie - my sister passed away before I was born when she was 18mths old, she had cancer, this was back in the 1969, and Marie Curie was a help to my parents, I would also support families accomodation at hospitals, next it would be Dogs Trust, how anyone can mistreat a dog, is unbelievable, my daughter on her 10th birthday was given £20 and she asked could take her birthday money there, the 4th charity, there is so many worthwhile, I guess it would depend if there was a course near to my heart at the time.
My parents, I would make sure they would want for nothing, I can never turn the clock back to prevent my mums disability, but things could be easier/
Trustfund for my daughter
Friends, there is a couple of friends, I would write cheques for their mortgages, and set up small trust fund for their children. As the old saying goes you cannot pick your family, but you can pick your friends, and there is never a truer word.
I'd have a personal trainer, a chef and help me kick the excess weight, (health related weight gain).
I would make sure that I still had holidays, and would start working through my dream list
=Would I go public=
Yes, even though I can be quite private person at times, if you stayed no publicity it wouldn't take people long so that way you would get the "letters / requests" done and then you could get on with your life.
I know it seems a cliche, family, friends, charity, but the one thing I would really hope I would be able to achieve is that it wouldn't change me, and my daughter would be grounded in the fact that money wouldn't go to her head xx
Ah...the lottery!
"It could be you!" the advertising shouts, but so far it hasn't been me!
OK...confession time...I've bought the occasional on-line scratchcard but I've never actually played the real, bona-fide, choose your numbers, queue in the newsagents, buy your ticket, watch the draw on a Saturday night lottery.
But if I did? And if I won?
...here's my four-step plan. I'm not greedy; anything over a couple of million would do!
#1 Pay off all my loved ones' debts (boring but necessary)
#2 Buy all my loved ones decent pension/care plans for old age (even more boring, but even more necessary!)
#3 Give a good chunk o' change to charity (the cats' home will probably be the main beneficiary in my will so I'd want to spread the wealth around a little)
#4 Rent out the house, Hubby and I would pack our backpacks, and we'd be off!
I've been suffering from wanderlust since I was a teen. I've found that the more I travel, the more I want to travel. Hubby's afflicted by the same condition so we'd want to pack in a ton of amazing places on an epic backpackingpalooza.
Places we've been we want to go back to - Japan, Southern USA, Canada, Poland, Iceland & Bavaria
Places we've always wanted to see (in no particular order) - More of North America, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, The Caribbean, Greece, Southern France, Egypt, South Africa, Russia, Norway, New Zealand and Antarctica.
That should keep us going for a couple of years, then we could come back to Blighty, have a few months visiting family and friends, then do it all over again!
Yep...that's the plan. Maybe it's time to start choosing some lucky numbers...
I play the lottery on a regular basis, twice a week with 2 lines of lottery numbers and a scratchcard. I very rarely win anything and if I do it's usually £10/£30 which means I'm probably still making a loss of money to the National Lottery. However, the big prizes could still be won. It's a tricky thing to discuss because I really don't have a clue what id do. If it was a really big win i.e over £5 million pounds I'd definitely share it with my family and most likely give a little bit to my friends. I'm not sure if I'd tell many people or go public as it could cause more problems. If anyone's watched the UK BBC drama 'The Syndicate' you'll know what I mean.
What I'd buy...
Like I mentioned above, it would be a tricky decision but the two things I'd buy straight away was a big house and an expensive car. I don't really collect anything as such so I probably wouldn't buy anything along those lines. I may also give a proportion of my money to a well-deserving charity. I'd also most likely buy a house in another country and book lots of holidays to far-off exotic locations around the world. I've always wanted to do some sort of expedition (i.e climb Mount Everest or trek to the North Pole) and I suppose this lottery win would fund it. I wouldn't stop doing the things I enjoy most just because I've won the lottery however.
I hope I do win the lottery very soon after all the money I've spent (and lost) on tickets over the years I've been playing it.
Thanks for reading :) -ellis2013
I'm going to be honest and upfront and admit I don't buy lottery tickets because, ironically enough, I'd rather save the money! But we've all had that conversation and wasted hours thinking about what we'd do if money wasn't a problem and so, here's my list in no particular order:
Buy a flat in Shaldon, furnish the flat, go on a gap year in India, complete my degree, pay off my debts, quit my job and find one that I won't dread going to everyday, go on a road trip across New Zealand, go on a road trip across Britain, go on a road trip across America, get some proper photography equipment and get a big batch printed so I can't start going to craft fairs, backpack through Ireland, get my hair done properly and on a regular basis, get my gym membership back, buy Microsoft word for my laptop, give my car a thorough fixing and cleaning up, hire a decent gardener for my paternal grandparents, give my maternal grandparents enough so Gran could quit her job, buy the parents a new bathroom trek to everest base camp, go to any and all counties not yet mentioned, put money in an account for my brother's uni fund, get another tattoo, get a dog, but one of everything from the cosmetics and toiletries section of sainsburys, bake more, treat me and all my friends to a group holiday, buy everything on my amazon wish list.. I think I'd better stop there. Or I'd never stop..
I rarely do the lottery, only usually on special occasions, so it would be amazing if I won the lottery. However most of us have a dream of one day winning. If I were to win the lottery, I wouldn't change my life plans too much.
As some of you may know, I am currently studying to be a vet, at University out in Slovakia. It is an amazing adventure, but there is one problem, and that is the financial aspect of it. I need around £8000 a year to survive out here, to pay my tuition and living costs. Hence me working like crazy during the holidays and earning bits and bobs online. I have a blog www.studentinslovakia.blogspot.com for anyone who is interested, although I do need to update it.
So if I won the lottery, I would buy myself a house in Slovakia, and pay all my tuition fees. There are some gorgeous houses out here, and it would be a lovely holiday home to come back to, which could be rented to students afterwards. Then when I qualify I would start my own practice in the UK, or possibly sit the exams to practice in New Zealand and move there. I have said that that is my dream for some time, although I have never visited, so spending the summer out there one year would be amazing.
I would also help out family and friends, and take everyone on holiday to Canada, as my gran went years ago and would love to go back. I would also love to do some volunteering abroad, especially on some of the safari vet programmes in Africa.
So that is my dream! I did win £23 last time I did the Euromillions at Christmas, so there is hope...
I am well aware that I will never win a lottery of any kind. The reason: I no longer buy lottery tickets. However the fact that I'm not in it to win it doesn't mean that I have not considered what I would do with the winnings.
The list below is unlikely to be of much interest to you, but its contents might provide you with further insight into my personality.
1. Like most people, I would pay off the mortgage of our primary residence.
2. We would replace one of our cars, probably our 11 year old Ford for a new model.
3. Depending on the actual amount of money involved, I would consider having a personal trainer come to my home several times a week.
4. I would update the contents of my wardrobe. I'd probably go to a shop with a personal shopper service and buy many staple items for a maximum of £5000. I like basic clothes - my favourite little black dress is over 20 years old!
5. I would occasionally travel business class for my commute between San Diego and London. I'd extend this to my Mum. If the lottery win were greater than £500,000 I'd splurge on a large family holiday to somewhere far-flung, making sure our nanny/babysitter and her best friend would come too to enjoy the experience. However, I have nowhere specific in mind.
6. I would provide financial support to the several charitable organisations close to our heart, starting with an orphanage in Peru desperate for glass for their bedroom windows.
7. I'd probably return to investing in real estate.
So there you have it. My planned expenditure. :)
I'm quite a strong believer in 'what will be will be' and that things happen for a reason but, in the case of the Lotto or any other competitions, you have to actually enter to stand a chance. I belong to a few syndicates with family members, work colleagues and a group or 'lucky compers'. (People who enter competitions like myself). Between these I can spend little but have more of a chance with more lines.
Anyway, if one day those 6 coloured balls on my TV screen tally up with the ones on our tickets, there are a few things I would do.
1. Double check my eye prescription is up to date and that I really will have a share of the big 'un!
2. Not spend a penny that what I do already until that cheque has cleared in my bank account.
3. I have a mortgage on my home and a few debts kindly left by some ex-partners (long story!) so I would get that all paid off first.
4. I would put a lump sum away for each of my children so that they would have some money to call their own when they got to the age of leaving home. I'm not talking hundreds of thousands here. They have grown up learning that you need to work for your money so I certainly wouldn't let them sponge completely off my winnings!
5. I'm a bank cashier and I don't think I would give up my job. I love the interaction I have with the customers and how I can help them with their own banking requirements. This could obviously be tricky depending on how much was won and how public it became as i would never want to be seen as someone rich preaching to the poor! I'm just not that kind of person.
6. Leading on from option 5, I wouldn't want to publicly announce I had won a lot of money if I could help it. I like to be able to distribute my wealth and time with the charities and groups which I am personally passionate about.
7. I would give a good chunk of money to my local Special Care Baby Unit that looked after my son when he was born. Even if this was tens of millions of pounds , it would never be enough money to feel like I had repaid what they did for me.
8. I would possibly move to a larger home but this is purely down to the lack of space I have now. I wouldn't go too fancy ~ jeez, think of all that cleaning to be done in a larger home!
9. I don't need or want for much so I would also regularly give money to my family and friends in order for them to be able to live their lives more comfortably.
10. Save the rest for a rainy day. I'm a regular reader on MoneySavingExpert and still think I'll be looking for bargains and glitches.
You all know the line: you have to be in it to win it. Well, it is true, if you don't buy a lottery ticket how would you be able to win? (unless, by some fluke, the winning ticket was dropped by someone and you found it).
I don't play the lottery so my "if you won the lottery" fantasies are purely dreams. I have two sets of dreams for if I won a substantial amount of money, one pure fantasy and one more of a realistic view.
Dream 1 - The Fantasy
Winning a competition like the lottery would give anyone so much money that you could just live in the lap of luxury for the rest of your life. I would buy a rather large house (something with at least five bedrooms) with huge grounds and gardens. Next would be the luxury car: something fast and sexy would probably be my choice. With very low knowledge of cars I don't really have a make or model in mind. Then would come the holidays, everywhere relaxing and hot and expensive. Add on giving huge sums to family and very close friends and you've got just about what I would do.
Dream 2 - The Reality
As much as spending the rest of your life in this manner is very appealing, I can also imagine it getting boring after a while. I'm only 28 so I would be doing this sort of thing for many years to come if I won. My reality is that I would still like a large house and some grounds as a nice, stable home if my partner and I had children. I would get a car more practical and something less harsh on the environment than a flashy car. I would also still give lump sums of money to family and friends to help them out but I wouldn't want to lose everyone I know so I would hope I would be able to stay level headed. As I wouldn't want to get bored I would continue with what I currently do, which is running a small jewellery business. This would mean I could still keep busy, enjoy what I do but just not have to worry about money or bills. I would like to imagine that I could open and run a type of pop-up shop. I could employ someone to help me run it and buy things wholesale from other small, independent business' and not have to worry if I didn't break even, it would be more as something to do and to keep busy.
My reality of what I would do is a lot less fun sounding as what my fantasy of what I would do is but it would be fun for me. I would still have a nice house, good car and travel on amazing holidays but still have something to do and not get bored.
However, I don't think you could really comprehend what you would do with that sort of money unless you was in that situation.
I don't often bother playing the lottery, sometimes when it's a big rollover jackpot which probably makes it even harder to win - I don't know the probability stats - but I see it as a bit of fun.
What I would do depends on how much I won obviously. If it was a modest £1m I'd buy a property, something with character in the city I am just now (Edinburgh) which would probably eat half of it up!
I'd for sure give a chunk to my sister and nephew, treat my friends and put another chunk away for retirement. Boring, I know, but it means being able to relax knowing I'm taken care of in old age.
If I won a massive amount, ie £50m this is when I'd start looking at other people and wanting to change their lives too. Sadly there are so many charities that receive little or no government funding and rely heavily on volunteers and donations so I would love to take the pressure off those charities and donate a sum to ensure they can continue their work and improve other peoples lives.
I think there comes a point where £30m feels the same as £40m, £50m etc so being unable to actually spend that amount would mean having to donate it to others who can.
I can't drive - yet - so I might treat myself to a car. Me and my partner were walking back from Sainsburys today and there's a little Mini cooper parked on one of the streets nearby and I told her that if I ever do learn to drive, that's the car I want. And not one of those new Minis, I want the old fashioned original Mini's.
I don't need piles of money to feel secure or feel spoiled, I had my birthday recently and just opted for a chinese meal at home instead of going out and spending money I don't have to.
I think that money does equal power, but I'd like to think that I'd be responsible and see it as the power to make a difference, not just line the pockets of big companies who have enough already!
It's not often that I do the lottery, in fairness, but the thought of winning it is a great one. I don't know what I'd do if I did win, to be honest, because (like most other people of course) I've never had that sort of money. I've never had more than about £500 in my bank, actually, so I bet the bank manager would be happy to see there was actually cash in there for once! But when I start to think about what I would actually do with the money, well, it'd end up spent right away probably.
1. The first thing that I would do is pay off my mother's debts. It would be a big weight lifted off her shoulders and would allow her to have a little more money to herself without having to worry quite as much about it all the time. She suffers with depression and not having any money really does make this worse for her, so being able to clear her debts would make a drastic change to her life.
2. I would buy a house. Nothing too big or anything, I'd just like a three bedroom place with a garden. Why three bedrooms, you ask? Because I live 200-300 miles away from some of my friends who live in the UK, and I have some friends that moved to the United States who'd like somewhere to stay when they come back to the UK, so when they're here they can have a room to stay in! And I'd like the garden to grow vegetables in. And I want an apple tree. There was one in my garden when I was little (about 5 years old, I think) and I used to love going into the garden as a kid and picking the apples. My grandparents had apple trees in their garden as well and I used to help them pick the apples every year. And ever since I was little I've always wanted an apple tree. So that's something I would just have to buy.
3. A possible addition to the house would be some land. I've always wanted to have an allotment, but obviously if I had my own land I wouldn't need to get the allotment. I'd also like some chickens, but I think my cats would probably eat them alive to be honest, so I'd like them to be kept separate from the house. And it's an alternative for where to put the apple tree as well, to be fair. Depending on the size of the garden the house had, I think it could end up being a bit too big for the garden. If I couldn't afford to buy the land though, at least I'd be able to rent some for the allotment and chickens!
4. I'd go to the United States. I've always wanted to go, and as I mentioned earlier I have some friends that moved over there, so it would be nice to go and see them. I'd love to go to Disney World and Universal Studios, so those would be on the list of places to go to while I was there. I'd take my mother with me as well as she also has friends that moved to the United States, so it would be nice for her to get to see her friends as well.
5. I'd buy new furniture for the house. My sofa is older than I am. My bed is broken. So naturally, those would immediately be replaced. I'd like an American-style fridge freezer as well, so that would probably be fairly high up on my list. I don't even have a wardrobe at the moment so that would be on the list as well. To be fair, I'd probably end up replacing most of what I have if I won a really large amount of money.
So those would be the main things that are on the list for me. I'm sure I would buy more things as well, of course, but I think those things would probably take the majority of the money anyway!

GRAMMY Foundation Announces 2011 GRAMMY Camp Selectees
The GRAMMY Foundation announced today that 111 talented high school students from 93 cities and 34 states across the United States have been selected as participants in the seventh annual GRAMMY Camp. Held for the past six years in Los Angeles, this year the program is expanding to the East Coast to reach a broader range of students.
GRAMMY Camp in Los Angeles will be held from July 9–18 at the University of Southern California Thornton School of Music and offers selected high school students an interactive 10-day residential summer music experience focusing on all aspects of commercial music with instruction by industry professionals in an immersive creative environment with cutting-edge technology in professional facilities. GRAMMY Camp in New York will be held from Aug. 2–8 in Brooklyn, N.Y., as a seven-day residential program for high school students that offers campers the opportunity to work in integrated industry teams.
"Our GRAMMY Camps offer young people highly interactive settings created by GRAMMY-winning artists and industry professionals where they can explore a range of careers in the music industry, and with the launch of our New York camp we've enrolled the largest number of GRAMMY Campers to date," said Neil Portnow, President/CEO of The Recording Academy and the GRAMMY Foundation. "Everything about this experience is unique and challenging in the best possible sense, and as we enter our seventh year, I take great pride in the role GRAMMY Camp has played in helping teens achieve their musical goals, as well as fostering friendships and musical collaborations that continue beyond the program."
The list of guest artists and music industry professionals participating in the 2011 GRAMMY Camp will be announced shortly. Past teaching artists include: singer/songwriter Sara Bareilles; producer Warryn Campbell; two-time GRAMMY-winning singer/songwriter Colbie Caillat; recording artist Brandi Carlile; Jesse Carmichael and Adam Levine of three-time GRAMMY-winning group Maroon 5; recording artist Jason Castro; GRAMMY-winning songwriter/producer/recording artist Lamont Dozier; six-time GRAMMY-winning group Earth, Wind & Fire; DJ Faust; 16-time GRAMMY-winning producer David Foster; five-time GRAMMY winner, Recording Academy Chair Emeritus, and GRAMMY Foundation and MusiCares Board member Jimmy Jam; singer/songwriter Josh Kelley; saxophonist Dave Koz; songwriter/producer/recording artist Jeff Lorber; five-time GRAMMY-winning producer Manny Marroquin; recording artist Jesse McCartney; Minor Productions Inc. President/CEO and "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" music director Rickey Minor; two-time GRAMMY-winning group Ozomatli; Recording Academy, GRAMMY Foundation and MusiCares President/CEO Neil Portnow; recording artist Gavin Rossdale; DJ Shortee; three-time GRAMMY-winning guitarist Steve Vai; Sublime bassist Eric Wilson; and four-time GRAMMY-winning film composer Hans Zimmer, among others.
The Los Angeles program offers six music career tracks: Audio Engineering; Concert Promotion/Production; Electronic Music Production; Music Journalism; Songwriting; and performance tracks in Bass, Drums, Guitar, Keyboards, Singer/Songwriter, and Winds & Strings. All tracks culminate in media projects, CD recordings and/or showcase performances. The showcase concert will be held this year on July 17 at the El Rey Theatre.
The New York program offers campers the opportunity to work in integrated industry teams consisting of three fields: Music Business & Production; Singer/Songwriter; and Performance for Bass, Drums, Guitar, Keyboards, Singer/Songwriter, and Winds & Strings. This real-world, hands-on environment will provide an in-depth look at the entire creative process from the first spark of original material through the promotion of a finished product, and will culminate in a launch party at the Best Buy Theater in Times Square on Aug. 7.
GRAMMY Camp is supported in part by Best Buy, Converse and the Hot Topic Foundation. Students were able to apply to either or both sessions of GRAMMY Camp, and tuition was discounted for participation in both sessions. Financial aid is available and approximately 70 percent of GRAMMY Camp participants who have applied for financial aid have received assistance. This year, a portion of these resources was generously provided by ASCAP, BET, the Ella Fitzgerald Charitable Fund, the Ford Motor Company Fund, and the Hot Topic Foundation, as well as several individual donors.

"Once social change begins, it cannot be reversed. You cannot uneducate the person who has learned to read. You cannot humiliate the person who feels pride. You cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore. We have seen the future, and the future is ours."
"The weirder you're going to behave, the more normal you should look. It works in reverse, too. When I see a kid with three or four rings in his nose, I know there is absolutely nothing extraordinary about that person."
"The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want."
"Under no circumstances should we now ease our restrictions on arms sales to Iran. Such a policy reversal would be seen as inexplicably inconsistent by those nations whom we have urged to refrain from such sales, and would likely lead to increased arms sales by them and a possible alteration of the strategic balance in favor of Iran while (the Ayatollah) Khomeini is still the controlling influence."

Oct. 4, 2013
Here is the latest edition of Week In Review - a series of weekly messages from the Mayor and City Council to help Richardson residents and businesses keep up to date on events at City Hall.
Cottonwood Art Festival This Weekend
More than 240 artists from around the country will be in Richardson this weekend for the Fall 2013 Cottonwood Art Festival. Now in its 44th year, the biannual event is rated as one of the top art festivals in the U.S. and generates more than $2 million in art sales each year. Exhibits will include museum-quality work in 16 categories including mixed media, sculpture, oil, watercolor, glass and photography.
The festival also includes children's arts and crafts at the ArtStop, as well as food and live music. Prophets and Outlaws will headline the musical entertainment with a show from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Saturday.
The City of Richardson is offering several opportunities for guests to recycle at the festival with 20 new blue recycling barrels placed throughout the park. Children can learn about recycling at ArtStop, where they can make recycled magazine bead necklaces and recycled paper hats.
Admission and parking are free, and the City will operate a free shuttle between the local parking lots and Cottonwood Park. The festival will take place 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday at Cottonwood Park, 1321 W. Belt Line Rd., just east of Coit Road.

City Council Discusses Dog Park
The City Council expressed support for a proposed dog park on 6 acres near the President George Bush Turnpike west of US 75. At a Monday work session Council members reviewed two possible locations for a dog park in Richardson, concurring with the Parks and Recreation Commission's recommendation. The proposed site is centrally located within Richardson and is accessible off the US 75 southbound frontage road.
The preferred site for the proposed dog park is on right-of-way land owned by TxDOT that is occupied by President George Bush Turnpike and US 75. The proposed dog park will be constructed under the highway interchange west of US 75. In order to use the right-of-way for an additional purpose, the City must enter into a license agreement with TxDOT.
The $1.4 million project could be ready to bid as early as spring 2014 with construction complete in the fall of 2014. The dog park is expected to feature several elements, including seating, waste disposal stations, water fountains and security lighting.
A dog park was listed as a high priority for Richardson residents in the 2010 Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan, a system-wide plan for Richardson parks. Members of the Parks and Recreation Commission visited several Metroplex dog parks in the past three years to create a list of best practices and develop a plan for a dog park in Richardson.
Watch the City Council presentation and discussion at bit.ly/15J5qjv.
Ramps from PGBT to US 75 to close Monday and Tuesday nights
Weather permitting, the North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA) will close ramps from President George Bush Turnpike (PGBT) to southbound US 75 (Central Expressway) Monday and Tuesday nights. The closures will take place from 9 p.m. until 5 a.m. the following mornings.
The closures are:
• Monday, Oct. 7: Eastbound PGBT direct-connect ramp to southbound US 75.
• Tuesday, Oct. 8: Westbound PGBT direct connect ramp to southbound US 75.
The closures are for an NTTA contractor to perform pavement repair. Signage will direct motorists to available detours during the closures.
City Wins TXAPA Community of the Year Award
The City of Richardson has been named by the Texas Chapter of the American Planning Association (APA) as the 2013 Community of the Year. APA Texas awards this prestigious honor to a town, city or county for providing outstanding contributions to planning. The award also recognizes exceptional work by civic planners, highlights their accomplishments, and affirms the value planners provide throughout Texas.
As part of its nomination submission, City officials demonstrated how Richardson has been at the forefront of planning, development and leadership since the adoption of its first zoning ordinance in the mid-1950s. Today, the City expects more than 20,000 additional residents and 50,000 additional employees by 2035. To meet this demand, the City continues to pursue several strategies, including transportation diversity and focusing on reinvestment/urbanization, to ensure its sustainability for generations to come.
The Community of the Year award was presented today in Galveston during the APA Texas Chapter annual conference award luncheon. Richardson has been recognized multiple times previously by the Texas APA for a variety of planning projects, programs and practices, but this is the first Community of the Year honor awarded to the City.
Council Reviews Single Family Residential Garage Orientation Considerations
Homeowners who reconstruct or remodel a home may soon be required to maintain the original orientation and direction of the garage. At a work session this week the City Council discussed creating an ordinance to address this issue, as many older homes in Richardson have been rebuilt or renovated, with some projects reorienting access to the garage and changing the character of the street.
City ordinance already requires that when a garage is converted into a living space a new garage accommodating the same number of vehicles must be constructed. If a new ordinance is adopted, any new garage must be accessible from the same street or alley as the original garage.
The City Plan Commission is expected to discuss the proposed ordinance later this month, with a City Council hearing expected in November. Watch the work session discussion at bit.ly/19VpiCA.
National Night Out a Huge Success
The City of Richardson held its annual National Night Out event Tuesday, Oct. 1, and 195 registered neighborhood parties participated and helped collect 7,738 pounds of food for the NETWORK of Community Ministries food bank.
This was the 24th year of NNO participation by the City of Richardson, facilitated by the Richardson Police Department's Crime Prevention Unit. The event promotes awareness, safety and neighborhood unity and showcases the vital importance of police-community partnerships and citizen involvement.
Fire Training Center Opens
The City of Richardson and the Richardson Fire Department on Thursday celebrated the opening of the City's new Fire Training Center and Emergency Operations Center. The facility, which replaces existing buildings, was partially funded through the 2010 Bond Program.
The new 11,500-square-foot emergency training complex, located at 1601 E. Lookout Dr., includes a backup emergency dispatch center and an emergency operations center that will improve the City's ability to respond to major incidents.
It also features a communications tower, an equipment storage building, three fire training offices and two emergency management offices. The training facility will be used to instruct new firefighter recruits, and for current firefighters to conduct required training exercises and multi-company drills.
October Edition of Richardson Today Mailed
The October edition of Richardson Today began arriving in mailboxes this week. This edition focuses on fiscal responsibility and the 2013-2014 Fiscal Year Budget. The edition also includes stories about 2010 Bond Program progress and the Telecom Corridor earning "Area of Innovation" status.

Skinny the Cat Hoping to Live Up to His Name
It's been more than a year since Skinny made international headlines as a 41-pound stray cat brought to the Richardson Animal Shelter. Skinny has lost more than 13 pounds but is still working to shed fat and reach his goal weight. His morning routine includes sessions on a water treadmill, which his vet said he "tolerates."

Absolutely gorgeous. I loved this so much I bought this one for my sister in Oregon. She loved it and showed to one of her card making friends and she bought some too. Beautiful paper.
Love the design and delicate colors! These papers will be featured in my framed wedding collages. I will use the remainer of the paprs for cards.
Beautiful cards coming from this pad for very special people.
This is one of my favorite products from Graphic 45
Very pretty paper pack, can't wait to use it.


text: Hi guys, I've looked around a lot for this and I've found a few things but nothing solid. I'm wondering what the brown stole Klingon captains wear is called and is is specific to captains and high council members? Is it acquired by becoming a captain? I've attached a picture of it and the uniform. (It's the brown cape thing. ) I first noticed it in TNG season 2 episode 8 "A Matter of Honor". Thanks a lot in advance, Vahn

Professor Layton and Phoenix Wright Mashup; Unprecedented DLC for Separate Layton
Level-5, venerable video game developer probably best noted for the Professor Layton series and the recent Dragon Quest IX, announced two extremely odd and exciting things for the Nintendo 3DS at their Vision 2010 conference.
First and wildly enough, Level-5 has teamed up with Capcom and announced a Professor Layton and Phoenix Wright crossover game called Professor VS Gyakuten saiban. Check out some prime shaky cam footage after the jump. Secondly and still wildly, the upcoming non-crossover Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracle will receive a daily downloadable puzzle for an entire year.Read More

Give her a shot.

|Nice hike
Date Climbed: Jul 15, 2006
|It was a nice hike. Pretty day, with some late thunderstoms. But I manage to get down before the storms came in. But the endless scree, and a herniated disc made things a bit more difficult.

I had made a box before out of one of these home depot like boxes, but I made the mistake of cutting down entire front edge of the box.
My fuzzy diggers decided to throw pellets and stuff all over through the cut down side.
After a short trip to depot again to get a new box I cut down only the middle to allow allow them to get in/out.
This seems to have worked and was approved by both fuzzbuts after some inspection.
The box fits perfectly in the width of the cage and is 190mm tall so not much chance of digging causing cleanup work.
I cut up some food grade pvc tubing and threaded it onto the cut edge to avoid any sharp edge and hopefully limit the gnawing a bit.
I secured the tubing with some zipties and heated the cut off ends of the zipties with a lighter to remove the sharp end after cut.
Peter is buisy and not too happy about me taking a picture of him while he is "working" but it was important for illustration purposes...

This painting depicts the societal advantages of peace played out in an idyllic landscape, where antique figures rest or engage in pleasant tasks, milking goats or collecting fruit. The image of bounty is drawn from descriptions in Virgil's fourth Eclogue of a golden age, a harmonious future when "unbidden, the goats will bring home their udders swollen with milk." This is a reduced version of a much larger picture from Puvis's first public mural project, which comprised four allegories of human states—including War, Work, and Repose—acquired by the French government to decorate the Musée de Napoléon in Amiens, France.

Salvador Dalí first arrived in New York in 1934 and immediately became a flamboyant part of the city's life and art scene. Engaging with the artists and celebrities who helped create the spirit of the city at the time, Dalí pursued his interests in art and commerce, the urban streets, and friendships with members of polite society and those in the rebellious underground. This program brings together scholars and filmmakers who address the impact of Dalí's diverse activities on his work and on the New York artistic community. Participants include Callie Angell, Adjunct Curator, The Andy Warhol Film Project, The Whitney Museum of American Art, who discusses the relationship between Dalí and Andy Warhol; filmmaker Jack Bond, who presents clips of his own film, Dalí in New York, and reflections on his friendship with the artist; Jonas Mekas, filmmaker and Director, Anthology Film Archives, who shares the films he made of Dalí; and Ingrid Schaffner, Senior Curator, Institute of Contemporary Art, University of Pennsylvania, who explores Dalí and the 1939 World's Fair. Anne Morra, Assistant Curator, Department of Film, and co-organizer of the exhibition Dalí: Painting and Film, moderates a discussion.
This event is held in conjunction with the exhibition Dalí: Painting and Film.

East of ARM unimpressed with Medfield
11 comments
LONDON Warren East, CEO of processor technology licensor ARM Holdings plc (Cambridge, England), is unimpressed by the announcements made by chip giant Intel about the low-power Medfield system-chip and its design wins, according to a Reuters report.
"It's inevitable Intel will get a few smartphone design wins we regard Intel as a serious competitor. Are they ever going to be the leaders in power efficiency? No, of course not. But they have a lot more to offer," Reuters quoted East as saying in an interview conducted at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
East said that Intel's design wins were the result of forcing designs that were not originally intended as mobile phone designs into a power and performance that was "roughly good enough for mobile phones," according to the report.
Intel (Santa Clara, Calif.) used the Las Vegas CES event to launch its Medfield smartphone and tablet computer platform. The 32-nm Penwell system-chip at its heart is more power efficient than previous Intel offerings and consumes less than 800-mW when working flat out, Intel said. Intel also announced a design win with Lenovo and a partnership with Motorola Mobility Inc.
Medfield is set to appear in the K800 Android smartphone for the China market in the first half of 2012 and in Motorola Android products, possibly including both a smartphone and a tablet computer in 2H12.
Qualcomm Inc. (San Diego, Calif.), a telecommunications technology and fabless chip company, is one of the ARM licensees and was also prominent at CES. Qualcomm's leading processors for smartphones and tablet computers are a family known as Snapdragon S4 for which Qualcomm claims to have 70 non-phone design wins from about 20 companies, most of which are likely to be Android systems.
East said that ARM was happy to wait for Windows 8 operating system running on ARM-powered tablet computers. "Google's Android is flavor of the month, flavor of the year, and we certainly want to be part of the Google success. But there is a space for Microsoft, and we very much want to be a part of that success too," the report quoted East as saying.

Coupons are distributed by regions. Manufactures may choose to place their coupons in every newspaper, or only in certain areas. Or sometimes they may choose to distribute differerent values of the same coupon to different areas;for example: a 50 cent coupon may be published in one area and a $1 one in a different area. Each week I purchase both the Savannah Morning News and the Bluffton Today so that I have a variety of coupons. The Bluffton Today Sunday paper may be purchased at the Savannah Morning News cashiers office for 75 cents + tax starting the following Monday and will be sold while supplies last. There is a limit of 10 copies per customer.

Just making it known, I am testing something but if you're up for an inspired post regardless, read on.
I have spent the last year working with an image powerhouse. The power of images is great, an untapped source of traffic for sure. I am a search marketer that is all about the conversion, but if all you want it traffic, images are just awesome and long tail. What's just so sharable? Images. Why do you think we take data and make it pretty (ala infographics)? People love images. The most recent, not sure if it's really the brain child of Paula Holmes Crimm, but maybe.
Really. How freaking cute. He/She let the dogs out. Took claim for the apparent mess it caused. You just want to kiss that puppy and the share it with all of your friends. I saw it this morning, reshared it, and 5 of my friends have done the same and not all from me.
Now the image search for this image. I figured "I let the dogs out" would do it.
Alas no. I may be wrong in the search or it might just not have been shared outside of FB yet. Therefore, Google hasn't seen it. So I'm posting it. With good alt text and image name. Let's see what happens and if I can get some traffic from it. </SEO>
Take Away for Search Marketers and Businesses
This small picture is being shared. There is no commerce behind it, no linking scheme, just an image. So I want to impart something I have seen as I've developed client infographics and link bait, don't make it about you. Make it about users, your target market, the everyday user, the facebook user, whoever you want to see and share your content. Make it about them and they will share it. This does not have a 100% success rate (meaning making "viral linkbait" is still not possible to just create) but it does help get to the heart of the user and that might transfer down to the tip of their "share" finger.

New Mercedes A-Class design revealed earlyWe have been keeping high hopes that the design of the new A-Class would stay close to the concept. We are happy to report it has. It does not have the aggressive lines of the concept or the aggressive headlights but the general design and proportions remain in check. Expect an official reveal next month in Geneva. This is going to be a great entry level vehicle for Mercedes and we can not wait for the A25 AMG version. Oh, and we should be getting it in the USA.

Some big name rockers have teamed up to promote music and the arts in the Los Angeles school system, via a new video.
"Epic School Battle" sees a group of villains raiding a classroom (Glee's Jane Lynch plays the teacher) and stealing all of the crayons and musical instruments. At this point, the video goes into silent film mode. After that, two superheroes dressed in costumes similar to that of Superman and Batman show up in the what looks like the actual Batmobile from the '60s Batman TV series. For some reason, they are in color although everything else is in black and white.
When the heroes require backup, the Superman-ish looking guy somehow conjures up newly inducted Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Matt Sorum (from Guns N Roses), who materializes, playing a tiny drumset. When that proves less than helpful, "superguy" summons pint size versions of KISS who somehow revert the film back into full color from black and white. And they shoot lasers out of their guitars. (Even drummer Eric Singer is playing a guitar for reasons that aren't explained). Finally, Steven Tyler pops up to sing high notes, which apparently blow up bad guys. Confused yet? Watch the video here.
Don't get hung up on the details: the video aims to raise money for Adopt The Arts, whose goal is "to bring together well-known artists, public figures, and the general public to save the arts in America's public schools." Sorum is one of the organization's founders and is co-president, while Jane Lynch is a director. The advisory committee includes Sorum's Guns N Roses/Velvet Revolver bandmate Slash, actors Billy Bob Thornton, John Stamos and Juliette Lewis, Adrian Young of No Doubt and guitarist Steve Stevens (from Billy Idol's band).
You can donate at their website, by clicking on characters from the video – every time you click, you donate $1. Or you can donate larger sums here.

I know I've been slightly....missing the last week. Summer semester just started and I've been piled with textbook reading. But here I am. Just a few notices from your friendly neighborhood RD mod...
1) I've done a lot of cleaning up. Old threads are in the Filing Cabinet.
2) I will post the new FFIF and judge last week's challenge sometime in the next 24 hours, but I've got training for work in the morning and then an intense doctor's appointment tomorrow afternoon (this doctor's appointment = >.<) and so I won't be around until later tomorrow sometime. But don't worry, I would never forget the FFIF.
3) There are a bunch of you who are great at participating in the discussions here but... Some people are getting very spammy, mostly people who are new to our neck of the woods. If you are repeating what has been said, we really don't need your reply. This is a place for productive discussions and helpful answers about questions.
You guys make this forum great.
