Switzerland is in Sweden – right?
Last week I wondered if people knew where Sweden was as they so often think that I'm talking about Switzerland when I say that I happen to live in Sweden.
I wonder if the opposite is true? That there are lots of Swiss out there who get asked if they live in Sweden! Now – what kind of conversations do they have, I wonder…
So, close your eyes and … (no – hang on! If you close your eyes, you won't be able to read this) … OK: just imagine that I have a twin sister (who is not nearly as witty, intelligent, good-looking or modest as I am). Let's call her Lady Di. She lives in Switzerland.
And you all know where that is, right?
So, Lady Di gets into a taxi and asks to be taken to the airport. Ron Turning happens to be the taxi driver again.
Ron: So, where ya'll flying off to then?
Di: Switzerland.
Ron: Oh, Switzerland. But hey – didn't you just fly there last week?
Di: Er.. no, you must be thinking of my plain twin sister.
Ron: Oh, I see. So, you're off Switzerland, where they have lots of naked blondes everywhere.
Di: Um … no … no! NO! You're probably thinking of Sweden.
Ron: No, I'm thinking of Switzerland. Where they whip each other in the sauna.
Di: Er.. you're still thinking of Sweden. Or maybe even Finland.
Ron: Why drag the French into it? I'm thinking of Switzerland. Where IKEA comes from.
Di: Sweden again.
Ron: That's what I said – they have lots and lots of forests there.
Di: Still Sweden.
Ron: You've got the Arctic Circle there too – and polar bears on the streets.
Di: S.W.E.D.E.N.!!!!!!!!!!
Ron: Everything is efficient and the trains often run on time.
Di: Well, you're getting a bit closer now…
Ron: Told ya! Switzerland .. That's where the people don't have a sense of humour, right?
Di: Yes, that's right. It's a real hazard not smiling all day long and just eating chocolates while watching cuckoo clocks chime… (The irony seems to be lost on Ron.)
Ron (dropping Lady Di off at Departures): You have a good flight back to Sweden now, ya hear!
So, there you have it!
Now.. did you get it right? Switzerland can be found in Europe – right here, in fact:
What misconceptions do people have about where you live?

You are so creative, and yet you don't sew? Hmmm….
Anyway, there are no misconceptions about where I live, only about the residents of the town that I live in. The running joke is about the number of teeth that the borough collectively has.
For example…
-What is 1/4 mile long and has three teeth?
-The line at our town festival.
-How do we know that the toothbrush was invented here?
-If it was invented somewhere else they would have named it the teethbrush.

Back when i lived in Kenya i would tell people back in the States that i lived in Nairobi. And they'd ask if Nairobi was a country, where in Europe Nairobi was, and once even if i had learned to speak Kenyan. (At least that guy was able to narrow it down to a country!)

When i was in America, and I told people I come from Singapore, they would say, "Thats in China right?". Surprisingly most Danes seem to know where Singapore is located- I think its because many of them travel to the neighbouring country Thailand on holiday. But I always get the classic "But you dont look Singaporean"- and I'd ask, so what do Singaporeans look like, and they are " No idea, but you dont look it." My grandparents did come from India but Singapore is a multiracial country with a Chinese, Indian and Malay population.

I once heard someone say that everyone in my little town wears rubber boots. And frankly? That particular type of footwear is vastly underrated! Rubber boots are highly practical, they're even fashionable now. Seriously. Get yourself a pair:)

November 21, 2008 at 15:55
I know where Sweden is. Sweden is the capital of Ikea right?
Many Americans seems to confuse Dutch with Danish/Danes. They tink Dutch people come from Denmark or Danes come from Holland. Or that Amsterdam is the capital of Denmark or similar confusions.

Try being told that you only live in igloos, or teepees. And that everyone in your country runs around in loincloths. And the Vegas taxi driver was completely serious.
Well I guess if he looked around him, a good portion of Vegas does run arouond in skimpy outfits……

Well this is one I actually new the answer too. I guess being European gave me the advantage. I knew it had to be good for something eventually.

Hi! I wandered over from Typ0's blog. I live in Norway, and the questions I fielded from people back home were astounding! At a breakfast with friends, one gentleman (in his fifties) asked my husband where, exactly, was Norway located in Sweden? I think my husband did an admirable job of not falling out of his chair!
We've also been asked where Norway is, like they didn't realize Norway was in Europe. At the end of the dat we can only laugh!

A lot of people ask me where I'm from even though I have lived in Canada since the age of 9. They do not know where Taiwan is and often try to guess every nation in Asia…but they couldn't never guess Taiwan.
Now I tell people my husband's Danish…that's another challenge. People often mistaken his nationality for Swedish, German, Swiss…some of them don't even know where Denmark is. I find it's very sad.

Hahaha, nice joke. I am chinese but people I met on the net, think that all chinese are from China. My roots are in China but I am not from China, my both sets of grandparents are from China and daddy was born in china too but mummy was born in Singapore. My paternal grandfather even spotted a pigtails (during Qing Dynasty ended 1911, the men wore their hairs long and tied into like a pigtail)
When I told them I am from Singapore, they think Singapore belongs to China. NO NO NO, Singapore is an independent country and do not belongs to China. Some might have mistaken Singapore for Hongkong and yes Hongkong now belongs to China not Singapore.

Everyone asks if I ride my horse to school, if I own a gun and if I personaly know George Bush since I am from Texas. The answer is no to all three. I don't even have a horse. But I would like to say that I knew exactly where both countries were because I have been to Switzerland and I met a Swedish woman who tried to teach us how to say the number 7. Yep, couldn't do it! p.s. see if you can see the pics now??

Hi Lady Fi, Minnesota misconceptions.. That we have only 10,000 lakes..we have 11, 842 that are ten acres or more and several thousand that are smaller. Everyone from Minnesota lives in Minneapolis/St Paul area…60 % of the population live there. The other 40% live in other parts of the state. (Like me) We have four seasons, before winter, Winter, after winter and Road Construction..close, but we do have four seasons..but winter rules for the better part of the year. We are mostly Lutheran..there are some Catholics and a few Baptists. That we eat hotdish all the time..not true. That our mosquitoes are the size of small birds..close..but not quite! And lastly we have no mountain ranges:)

And everyone that lives upstate New York have no teeth, mullet hair cut, an oily cap and they chew tobacco and go to obscure bars where you can find a three legged dog under the pool table…?
Isn't that correct? ;o)
Actually, my fav bar is upstate NY and all of the above is true…but I have seen "real" people there too…upstate New York that is…just not in Waneta Lake bar though :-p

Too funny! You're so right though! When I tell people I am from Africa, they say "what state?" Then I might elaborate "South Africa" and they think I'm being vague, like I don't want to tell them which country. Geography is just a little on the ignored side of education.

I live in New Mexico. Yes it's the 49th state of the Union. So Yes I live in the United States! I love when people ask me if I speak English! The best? When I was 12 and went to Cornell University in NY for a summer camp and everyone asked if we rode our wagons to to town!

As a child, I lived in the Emirates in the Middle East. I was always asked why my hair wasn't blond as I was swedish..from Switzerland!! And when I came back to Switzerland, I was asked if I went to school riding a camel and lived in a tent in the desert…Hey, ignorance is worldwide! PS: we DO eat loads of chocolate and we DON'T look at cuckoo clocks as they come from Austria(no, that is not Australia).

"and the trains often on time"
That's a total understatement. They are ALWAYS on time, and if they are more than 1-3 minutes late people start making that sound one makes when they kiss their own teeth. It's quite funny actually. But it rarely ever happens.
Same thing with buses and trams. If the bus is a tiny bit late you'll get to hear people complain in three languages depending on what part of Switzerland you're in (they have three national langauges: French, Swiss-German, and Italian).
I've lived here for almost a year now and it's really comical when they get pissed about one or two minutes – in Canada, a bus/train/streetcar can be 20 minutes late before people start to bitch.
I guess it's all about building expectations.
To your point, I don't even want to tell you how many people I've met that suck at geography. But if you've never ever traveled than I guess you really only need to know the place you are.

Great post. Most of the Chinese people I talked to about the UK didn't realise Ireland was a separate country. Let alone that England, Wales, Scotland are actually also different countries, and you shouldn't use 'English/England' when you mean 'British/Britain'. Just hoping none of them ever found themselves in say, a Republican area of Belfast.

People ask me if we have elephants on the streets in India – you do encounter them sometimes, but they are not as common as cows.
And naked fakirs – I have yet to see one
And snake charmers – they exist, but not all that common
But, increasingly it is now call centre employees that people think of when they think India.

this is hillarious, but its true! they dont like to refer the maps, but love to talk about it, and we smile all the way.
January 20, 2010 at 02:18
Yes we do get people thinking my husband is from Sweden instead of Switzerland. When we correct them they shrug and say well "Its the same thing". By the way cuckoo clocks come from Bavaria in Germany not from Switzerland.(Although they can be found in Switzerland that is not where they originated) I love ABBA.
March 18, 2010 at 11:42
Now, I'd thought the cuckoo clocks originated mainly from the Black Forest, which is just "down the Rhine valley" from Switzerland and mostly in the German state of Baden-Wuerttemberg.
But then I guess, they're all over the Alpine region in Europe.

We live in Sweden, too and one guy from Germany once asked if it's really half year bright and the other half dark. When I visited MN, USA I was asked if there were deserts in Germany. When I was in Finland a girl asked if all Germans were Nazis. Ignorance knows no borders.

FUNNY cause I'm Swiss living in the states and everytime I tell someone I'm Swiss they confuse it with Sweden! Its like Hello I said I was Swiss not Swedish!! IDIOTS!!
July 12, 2010 at 05:36
haha. I'm Swiss and I met many people who thought I'm talking about Sweden.
Once somebody even confused Switzerland with the Ukraine. It was like: "Hi where u from?" – "Switzerland" – "Hey everyone. Meet my new friend. She's from the Ukraine"

You're so right. I am a Swiss expat living in Australia. Quite often I get introduced to someone, the person introducing me says, Bill here is from Switzerland, he speaks Swedish. Some years ago i started work here in Australia for a Scandinavian Company. The Swedish boss asked me where I was from. When I told him I was from Switzerland, he smiled and said (with his tongue firmly in his cheek) as, so we can speak Swedish. He knew.

Ha! I love it….that is so good. I get to see this all the time; as you know Jahnu is from Denmark but lived in Sweden for so long, still goes back there annually, and when people (sorry but especially Americans!) hear he's from there, they ask the stupidest questions and say the most bizarre things. I just wish I could think of a few right now :)) But you know the type…"Oh, so you're from Denmark? That's in Sweden right?" Or "that's the same as Sweden?" Fortunately Jahnu finds this highly entertaining; I have met Danes who would be mortally wounded by such chatter….though I admit, that's rare: Danes are ridiculously comical, aren't they? :)))
Jahnu's coming in June….you should meet him, Fi….he always remembered you asking about him and your thoughts and words. He wrote to you, didn't he?

I suppose people think of cheese, beer and the Green Bay Packers when Wisconsin (USA) is mentioned. I don't like beer, nor do my friends, but some Wisconsonites do drink their share of beer. We love Packer football here. Most who grew up in the state own several pieces of Packer clothing. Right now in our home we have Gouda Cheese, American, Havarti, Provolone and Cheddar. We do love our cheeses.

I just stumbled on this post… rather late, I must add, but couldnt resist commenting on it!!! we have loads of these misconceptions… even within India… like I am a Tamilian, from the state of Tamilnadu down south, and live in Mumbai, on the west coast. Almost everyone in the northern, western, eastern and central parts of our vast country believe that anyone living in the south is a 'Madrasi'. the word comes from the city of Madras, which is the capital of Tamilnadu. No matter how much u try to explain that there are 4 states down south, each with a different language, and so many differences, it doenst register…. we are all Madrasis, no matter how little connection we have to the city!

Instead they had an article about Cesar Chavez (the late labor leader who empowered farm workers in the US). There was a huge uproar because the Christian holiday was not mentioned. Instead, people decried an article about the semi-terrorist, Latin American Dictator Chavez, confusing Cesar with Hugo. Oy vey!

once I was telling my friend that I would like to visit sweden one day.
he was very very very dump
and he asked me if there are white people in sweden because he thought that every one in sweden is black (no racism). that happened because he thought I was talking about sudan or maybe because aswad (أسود) in arabic means black so he thought that swede السويد means black people.

text: CONGRESSIONAL Democrats, together with their agents in the fourth estate, have launched an all-out assault on George Bush. The New York Times solemnly intoned that "the recovery had already started to lose momentum by Labor Day." At best, that was a half truth.Consumer spending, which accounts for two-thirds of the economy, posted a nice increase in September and for the third quarter as a whole. Measured in constant 1982 dollars, business investment in machinery and equipment rose $15.7 billion during the summer months, a 17 percent annual rate of gain. Productivity is going up, as are corporate profits from domestic operations. While the threat may seem remote at present, the big danger is that the White House and Congress may force easy money on the Federal Reserve System. That would set the stage for renewed inflation in 1993 and 1994. At present, the economy is indeed growing slowly. Symptoms of slowdown are easy to see. Employers added 1.1 million workers to their payrolls over the past three months. However, that gain was normal for this time of the year. Therefore, seasonally adjusted, employment and income rose only modestly. Even so, there is no reason to expect the current flat spot in the economic recovery to turn into a renewed downturn. Propaganda from the White House notwithstanding, Fed chairman Alan Greenspan has added generously to the money supply during 1991. Total bank reserves (the raw material for the money supply) were up 9 percent in October from a year earlier. In the year ended October 1990, reserves rose only 1.4 percent. Private service firms, which account for most of the growth in US employment, have hired 360,000 new workers (seasonally adjusted) since the end of the recession. That was a subpar rebound, but it was a significant step in the right direction. Even the manufacturing sector, much maligned in recent weeks, is doing OK. New orders for all types of manufactured goods rose at a rate of more than 17 percent in the third quarter. Some of that gain was due to a record bulge in orders for jet aircraft and military hardware in early summer. Excluding those products, new orders were up at a rate of almost 12 percent, with a good gain in September. Nonetheless, consumers are caught in the political cross-fire. They are beginning to get frightened. Consumer confidence is down, though nowhere near so much as recent scare headlines would suggest. Sales of new homes and automobiles - normally the spark for recovery - appear stalled at relatively low levels. However, purchases of other goods and services (the vast bulk of total consumer spending) are going up. Investors and politicians should consider two major risks: First, as New York Times columnist William Safire would put it, consumers could succumb to the "nattering nabobs of negativism" on the nightly news and really retreat. This actually happened in the spring of 1980 when President Carter told Americans to cut up their credit cards. Gross national product posted the sharpest one-quarter drop since the Great Depression. Second, if the Federal Reserve succumbs to political pressure and floods the economy with money, long-term interest rates will rise. This ultimately happened in the early 1970s. President Nixon devalued the dollar, imposed price controls and talked the Fed into pumping up the money supply. Things were still going nicely on Election Day in 1972, but a year later inflation was raging, rates were up and the economy was on the road to a severe downturn. The most encouraging bit of economic news last week was the increase in business investment in machinery and equipment, which was modest in the second quarter and substantial in the third. The long-term rate of growth in the United States economy has been below par for two decades, largely owing to rising corporate taxes (implicit and explicit), a substandard rate of return on capital, and thus a long-term decline in net investment as a share of net national output. A cyclical rebound in business investment will not solve the basic problems of underinvestment and slow growth. However, every bit helps. The toolbox that American workers use to produce goods and services is too small. It must grow faster for the nation to achieve reasonable standards of growth and prosperity.

Hello. I'm typing this after my laptop had done getting repaired.
My dear laptop is not one that has very good condition. I have been using this from late 2010 and it had never been repaired nor regularly cleaned (I'm talking about the body) up until two days ago (May 24 2015, Sunday). After all these years the laptop got easily heated up and loud and sometimes it shut down itself in the middle of the loud noise. And on last week it went louder (from wheeeeng to whrrrrrrrr) and restarting it wasn't a help; I should shut it down and turn on the power button. But it didn't always work too. Oh, and from more than a month ago, the browser couldn't work well too. It only could open a few websites while the other laptops in this house could do it regularly. Then I decided to bring it to a repairman.
Shortly, my laptop got cleaned and re-installed. They said it was a big mess; the dust inside its body. The dust is really thick that it made the fan worked hard. It's true, I can feel the difference of the performance before and after. And they re-installed my laptop so that I can work with my browser again. Yay! They helped me to backup the files I saved but I forgot to save the Photoshop hahahah. Guess I should find it first to make more artworks.
Anyway, I should celebrate this baby's comeback!

I didn't know anything about Abramovic, other than she was a performance artist. Self-titled 'grandmother of performance art'. But whether you find her art profound or absurd, one can't deny that she is a fascinating subject. This is a wonderfully made documentary studying Abramovic the artist and the person, and art in general. It's surprisingly powerful at times, occassionally shocking as well, and I couldn't take my eyes off of her. One of the best documentaries of the year. (NR- graphic nudity, self-destructive violent images, and language.)

Sonoma Victorian Cottage
Pamala Garant from Sonoma, California contacted me the other day about some exciting small houses her husband is designing. Pictured in this article is their guest house and my wife and I have been invited to come stay in it sometime, so look for an update with a first hand experience of staying in this victorian cottage.
Pamala says: "My husband is a structural engineer and specializes in designing historic reproduction architecture. As we age, we are becoming more aware and responsible about our previously large carbon foot prints. He is currently designing some small houses to post on his web site…. http://www.victorian-cottage-plans.com."
We plan to "retire" into a smaller cottage, when we replace our current Carpenter Gothic cottage, which was also designed and built by my husband, Robert Garant. It is 2000 sq. ft and we find it too large. We like the idea of small houses but are also snobs about good architecture.
Why Small Cottage Plans?
We have designed and built a number of cottages along the way, some less than 400 square feet others over 3000. All classically detailed, some perhaps too large to be called a cottage. But the tiny ones are always the most appreciated and adored. Perhaps it's the public's love of dollhouses or maybe the cozy environment brings out the evolutionary roots from our days in the cave but whatever it is, it seems the more compact the more endearing. We've chosen the small cottage plan concept for many reasons, not the least of which are endearment and affordability, but I also believe it is the best way for me to perpetuate the design and building techniques that go into making a genuine, romantic, classical Victorian. Here are a few reasons you might want to buy a cottage plan from us and build one of your own:
- Adaptability -These homes are versatile and affordable for small families, retirees, for use as a backyard "granny unit" or as a vacation home,
- Acceptability – Classical cottages are small but you won't have to apologize for living in them. They present an elegant and tasteful presence and are appreciated in any socio-economic environment,
- Expandability – Most of our cottage plans are created to be easily expandable upward into a vaulted attic space for very little additional cost. With a little effort on the homeowner's part, one can usually add a couple small bedrooms, a bath, a home office, workshop or large storage area.
- Simplicity – Our cottage plans are crafted to be built quickly by a very small crew or an owner-builder. These cottage plans offer the non-professional an in-depth description of how to build the basic structure, as well as patterns, illustrations, tool lists and instruction sources for creating historic detail,
- No Large Tools Required – Our cottage plans intentionally detail the structure with small and easily handled elements, therefore no heavy equipment is needed to construct them,
- Ease of Pricing – Our cottage plans will allow you to make an accurate cost analysis before you start something you can't finish. You don't have to be a construction estimator to determine the costs. All our cottage plans come with a specific list of materials that can be presented to your local lumber stores for competitive pricing on virtually every construction component. And our clear and concise illustrations of construction details leave little room for wasteful errors by professionals or owner-builders,
- The Price of Classical Detailing – Because of the small size of the buildings, the classical details that make all the difference, are surprisingly very few in number and can be built inexpensively by anyone with reasonable skills, perhaps in his or her basement over the winter before construction begins,
- Usability on Difficult Lots – Our cottage plans have very small footprints with minimum foundation costs, allowing them to fit affordably on nearly any lot. They are particularly advantageous on properties needing raised elevations or on heavily sloping lots,
- Strength – Our cottage plans are engineered to withstand anything nature can throw at them. Our parent company, Garant Engineering Inc. has been providing structural design services to architects, municipalities and industry since 1979. Our 30 years of structural design experience with earthquakes, hurricanes and floods means you can expect your investment to stand the test of time.
- Joy of Ownership – Building a small classic cottage offers the chance for you to create a family treasure. A treasure that will look better with age as vines grow up the walls and the paint fades a bit. A home that is made for grandchildren and families but is affordable and maintainable into your retirement years. A home that will appreciate with age and which will perhaps pass on a little of the wonder of the classical cottage.
If you're interested in building your own Gothic Cottage, bare with us as we transform our historic designs of the past into one you might want to build and live in. We have constructed the first cottage in our new series in the "Carpenter Gothic" style of Andrew Jackson Downing it was built in Sonoma as part of our new office/residence complex and we're happy to report that it's better than we imaged. And it was incredibly easy and inexpensive to build. Check out this and all our new designs in our "Victorian Cottage plans" section or stop by and see us and we'll give you a tour.

- We do not accept medication requests over the telephone or by direct e-mail unless in exceptional circumstances. If medication has been lost a Pharmacist may be able to provide a small emergency supply. Dispensary should be informed who will then refer the matter to the Doctor concerned.
- Overnight systems maintenance may result in the Online Registration Service becoming unavailable,usually between 9:00pm and 7:00am. If you receive such a message please try again outside these times
Patients who live outside of Petworth may collect their medication directly from the Surgery. The dispensary is open Monday to Friday 08:30 - 13:00 and 13:45 - 18:00.

These charges apply in England only. In Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales prescriptions are free of charge.
If you will have to pay for four or more prescription items in three months, or more than 15 items in 12 months, you may find it cheaper to buy a PPC.

(The ten best comedies of 2012 were revealed on Hulu's homepage this week. Here's your winner. To view the rest of the list, click here.)
Parks and Recreation made it to the top of Hulu's Best Comedies of 2012 list because a group of us here at Hulu HQ agreed that it really is the No. 1 comedy of the year. And this may be the first (only?) time this has ever happened, but someone at Time magazine agrees with us.
But what makes it one of TV's best shows?
It comes down to the relationships.
First, the obvious one: Ben and Leslie (Adam Scott and Amy Poehler). Some of the show's most tender moments are centered on their courtship, from their clandestine relationship to their decision to be together, no matter what, to a teary-eyed wedding proposal and a pretty amazing engagement gift.
Of course, there's also Andy and April (Chris Pratt and Aubrey Plaza), and what I'd call the office romance between everyone in the Pawnee Parks Dept. However, what makes Parks and Rec truly great is a different relationship which borrows a page from the 30 Rock playbook: Leslie and Ron (Nick Offerman).
Ron and Leslie are much like Liz Lemon and Jack Donaghy on that other NBC show. Ron takes on a fatherly role as he (somewhat reluctantly) guides Pawnee's most enthusiastic citizen through her career and her life. Meanwhile, Leslie meddles in Ron's life every chance she gets, whether she's ambushing him with birthday cheer or protecting him from his dreaded ex-Tammys in her self-appointed role as his "emotional guardian."
So I'll go ahead and say it: Parks and Rec is the best comedy on TV today. Maybe it's a strange alchemy of Ron's gruff persona, Leslie's eagerness, and Ben's terrible accounting jokes. But I think it's because it hasn't shied away from the tender side of humanity. The show took a risk by letting its characters fall in love and be happy. In the past, that'd be considered jumping the shark, but here, the writers are smart enough to keep the relationships real and unforced. We're rooting for Ben and Leslie. And April and Andy, Ron and Diane, and yes, even Jerry and Gayle.
Then again, maybe it's really all about Ron's bushy mustache. That would make a lot more sense.

Quick Marketing Guide | Make Clients Fall In Love With Your Photography Business! The 6 Elements Of Irresistible Marketing
Quick Marketing Guide | When running a photography business, taking the pictures can feel like the easiest part of the process. It's the business side of things that photographers often find difficult. This doesn't just happen in photography business, by the way. You could be in just about any industry and you'll see people who are great at what they do, but it doesn't mean they'd be as skilled at running a business.
Booking clients is one of the most vital elements of growing your photography business. Finding the best ways to promote your business will help you find and book clients that you love and that will help to grow your business. Are you new to photography and trying to figure out how to get your first legitimate clients through the door? Or, have you been in business for many years and are now contemplating marketing for the first time ever? We selected top marketing tips that you can use to market your photography business more effectively.
Find A Niche Market | Quick Marketing Guide
Rather than being the jack of all trades, being the photographer that does just about anything, pick a niche market and get really good at it. It's incredibly important that you know exactly who your ideal client is and that you tailor every part of your business toward the things that appeal to them. Pick a niche market that you are passionate about and you'll find that it'll do two things. Number one, it will get you focused on what you have to do or to achieve. The second thing it will do is make your marketing a whole lot easier.

Set Up A Portfolio | Quick Marketing Guide
Setting up a portfolio of your best work enables you to showcase your capabilities to potential clients. Create a gallery on your website, placing your work under clearly-defined categories. It doesn't have to be an extensive collection of every picture you took over the years; if anything, it should be a simple website that shows a balanced selection of your imagery.
Take Advantage Of Social Media | Quick Marketing Guide
One of the vital parts of marketing is reaching out to people on a level that they use, know and feel comfortable with and at the moment. The most vastly used examples of this would be Facebook and Twitter. It's ok not to be as sociable as other people, but it's a real crime to let your photography business ride when social networks give you great opportunities to influence other people. When you blog the images from your client's photo session, take a moment to share them on Facebook, Twitter or any other social media network that your ideal clients use. They'll share the images with their friends and you'll get traffic as they point people your way.
Take Care Of Your Vendors | Quick Marketing Guide
Building a positive relationship with your vendors is a critical step in growing your business. When meeting with vendors, remember to be personable – while they are a business, they are people too! If your main focus is on wedding photography, make connections with florists, wedding planners, wedding dress boutiques and caterers. By connecting with businesses who offer complementary services, you can become a part of their referral network, which can help you generate leads for your new photography business.

Blog Regularly | Quick Marketing Guide
Google likes websites that have fresh content on a regular basis. Blog the photographs you take, blog about things that appeal to your ideal client, and feature vendors that have similar ideal clients as you. A blog is an effective way to start communicating with your audience what you are all about and what you can offer them. In a similar way to updating your social networks, blogging the latest pictures that you've taken will give a good impression to potential clients of the type of work that you can do.
Referral Gifts | Quick Marketing Guide
Word of mouth advertising is one of the most powerful things you can have for growing your business. Past clients are a great source of referrals, and what better way to thank them and encourage referrals than by offering a reward? You'll want to offer clients something of value, something such as a service or product you can offer them that doesn't cost you too much but has a high perceived value. Taking care of clients is an important part of growing your business, as your ideal clients will refer you to their family and friends who may also be ideal clients for you.

Hi bees,
i have had a rocky couple of weeks with an early BFP followed by rising but non doubling hcg levels (doubling time of 76hours) and severe cramping.
My doctor was concerned about a possible etopic so sent me for an early ultrasound at 5 weeks 6 days. At the ultrasound the technician could only find a gestational sac measuring 5mm. He said this meant I was 4.5 weeks along and it was too early to see a yolk sac/ feral pole and to come back in 2 weeks.
I am very relieved that ectopic has been ruled out but I am concerned that the gestational sac is too small and empty for nearly 6 weeks. The ultrasound technician insisted that I got my dates wrong but I have been using fertility friend to track my cycles so I know when Ovulated. I am really concerned that this might be a blighted ovum.
I will try and get an appointment with my doctor this week and get done more advice but in the meantime I would love to hear from anyone who has had a similar experience!

I Believe in Sparkles
I believe in Sparkles. Standing less than two feet tall and weighing only twenty-nine pounds, my little Beagle is one of the most important parts of my life. I found her at the S.P.C.A. Little did I know how much of an impact this little ball of fur would have on my life.
I feed her and take her out to do her business, but I believe a much deeper bond exists. I talk to her and she listens. She may not understand what I say, but the fact that she gives me her attention means the world to me.
Unconditional love – It's the sense of security that no matter what mistakes I make, someone will always forgive me. It's the idea that someone needs me as much as I need her. It's the security that someone will always be there for me, no matter what. I found this form of love in Sparkles.
Everyday as I walk up to my apartment after eight hours of torturous work, I see her nose poking out from under the blinds. I smile as I see her dart to the door, anxious to greet me. I walk in the house, and it becomes a crazy scene; she's jumping on me, and then running around in circles with her tongue hanging out. She is always so happy to see me. And the best thing is, even though I may not show it by jumping up and down, I'm just as happy to see her, too.
Cuddling up on the couch with her head resting on my thigh she gives me comfort even through the toughest of times. She collapses next to me as I watch television or work on my laptop. She takes comfort in being close, and the feeling is definitely mutual.
Happiness also comes through car rides. Sparkles is oblivious to the fact she's a dog, possibly because she may be the most spoiled dog ever. She rides in the passenger seat, watching cars and people pass by. She stands up at red lights to put her face into my shoulder, begging for attention. She loves affection, much like her owner.
No matter what I may do, leave her at home alone when she so wants to go outside, or eat dinner without dropping a few morsels under the table, she always forgives me. Likewise, when she makes those mistakes on the carpet I can't stay mad more than a few moments.
I feel that we rescued each other the day I took her home from the S.P.C.A. She escaped the kennel and I gained a best friend for life. I couldn't ask for a better companion. And for this, I believe in Sparkles.

Pangea World Theater co-present's Patrick's Cabaret's "Anything But English" -- a multilingual cabaret featuring artists whose native language is not English. On the surface, language is a tool that helps us communicate and think. But language can also pull forth memories, sentiment, and sometimes discomfort. In this multilingual cabaret, we invite everyone to explore what happens in a multilingual space where the connections formed between people are forced to move beyond mere words.
We invite artists whose native language is one other that English to question and explore what happens to language in private/public, familiar/unfamiliar, or native/non-native spaces. Take your words and throw it into poetry, dance, theater, music, performance art or any art your heart desires!
Approximately 6 acts totaling about 15 mins each will be selected to participate.

Artist Payments
Artists are paid a stipend of $50/night, guaranteed unless the show is canceled, the artist does not perform, or the artist leaves before the end of the event. Additionally, artists will receive advanced tickets to sell for the run of the show. Artists can offer ticket sales to their friends and fans at a discounted rate of $10/each, and keep all of that money-- it goes directly into their pockets. Artists appearing in two nights of a show will get 5 tickets to sell for the run, and artists appearing in only one night of a show will get 2 tickets to sell for the run. Artists can then expect to make up to $150 for 2 nights, and up to $70 for 1 night. This change from our previous policy will actually represent a general increase in payments to artists, which is aligned with our value to compensate artists as best we can.

Memorial postcard showing Dr Edward Wilson in the Antarctic.
Herbert Ponting's photo of Edward Wilson was used for a memorial postcard issued as part of a series commemorating the dead polar heroes.
Wilson was second in command of the British Antarctic Expediton of 1910-1913. He was also its lead scientist. Reaching the South Pole was one of the expedition's aims — but scientific discovery was just as important.
Scott and Wilson were close friends, and together had hatched the plan for the expedition.
Wilson was also a talented artist, and some of his drawings were used in Louis Charles Bernacchi's biography of Oates, another of the pole party, who died in the harsh Antarctic a few days before Wilson.
[NLS shelfmark: GB/A.3812(10)]
This memorial postcard featured in our display on 'Scott's last expedition', which ran from 12 January to 25 March 2012.

text: How perfect is Dorothy Perkins' black cap toe pump. Cap toe pumps are one of this fall's hottest shoe trends. I love buying trendy pieces on the cheap, because who knows how long the trend will last. You don't want to spend your hard earned dollars on something that you will only wear for a few months. Well I don't know how long the cap toe trend will continue but these shoe by Dorothy Perkins are only $44. That is a steal in my book. Photo from Dorothy Perkins.

Six same-sex couples married just after midnight today in Hawaii, becoming the first to wed as the state's new marriage equality law went into effect.
The couples wed at the Sheraton Waikiki in Honolulu, reports Hawaii News Now. Some of them had been together as long as 35 years.
"It's just exciting and historic and we wanted to be a part of it," Honolulu resident Maria Gallo, who was marrying partner Beth Creary at the Sheraton, told the Associated Press. "This is like a confirmation with a group of people here who are sharing our joy."
"We started this battle 23 years ago, and we get to finish it tonight," added Michael Golojuch Jr., chairman of Honolulu Pride and an organizer of the ceremonies, according to the AP.
Three same-sex couples applied for marriage licenses in the state in 1990 and were denied, leading to a lawsuit that put the struggle for marriage equality into the national spotlight. The suit made its way through the Hawaii courts and even led to a ruling in the couples' favor, but that was rendered moot by a constitutional amendment allowing the state legislature to define marriage as an exclusively heterosexual union. Legislators changed that definition last month with their approval of a marriage equality bill, which was then signed into law by Gov. Neil Abercrombie.
Hawaii allows couples to apply for a marriage license and wed the same day, which draws tourists as well as residents to marry there, the AP notes. A University of Hawaii researcher estimates that extending marriage rights to same-sex couples will bring an additional $217 million in tourist spending to the state over the next three years, according to the news service.

With the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens it seems like Star Wars cards are all over the place and prices range drastically. Autographs and sketch cards are drawing major attention but if you watch carefully enough you can find a deal.
There are some actors that I would love to get a hold of their autographs but usually prices are pretty insane for some of the main characters in the movies and cartoons but sometimes a gem will fall when it is listed wrong with an incorrect title or listed under the wrong category and so far I have been able to grab three of those falling gems.
Earlier this year I picked up an IP Carrie Fisher and Tom Kane and now I picked up Dave Prowse, the actor who played Darth Vader in Episode III, IV and V. The Carrie Fisher card was listed just as "Fisher", Tom Kane's cards can really vary in price and I just got lucky and now the Prowse card was listed as a "Star Wars Card Lot Steve Prowse".
Prowse played Darth Vader physically in the three movies and was the original voice of Vader before the switch was made to James Earl Jones. Prowse is actually a pretty good signer and has one of the most beautiful autographs from the Star Wars series. The signature is done in beautiful silver ink along the left side of the card.

Rebel rep: Ukraine truce deal could take years to implement
MOSCOW – A rebel representative at peace talks for eastern Ukraine says the truce deal between the Ukrainian government and separatists could take years to be implemented.
Fighting has subsided in eastern Ukraine since the deal was signed in Minsk, Belarus, in February last year. It provided for a cease-fire as well as a political transition in Ukraine's industrial heartland, where fighting has killed over 9,100 people.
Denis Pushilin, who represents the rebels in Minsk, was quoted by the rebel mouthpiece Donetsk News Agency on Friday as saying that the way the truce is implemented right now it could take 10 to 15 years to comply with all of its statures.
The step-by-step Minsk plan was linked to the withdrawal of heavy weaponry and was not supposed to drag on for years.

Yay for Real Mom Wednesday! I am so excited to share wise mama, Janny's favorites with you today. Janny is not only a savvy mama who has some great picks but she also wrote us wonderful (and witty) descriptions/reviews so I know you'll enjoy what she has to say. A big thanks to Janny and if you'd like to share your favorites with us, we'll love, praise and thank you big time. Seriously, we all love real mom Wednesday's. Email me for the quick and easy details!
I am a first time mama to my super expressive and lively 5-month old baby girl Sawyer (our little Soy bean). We live in a downtown area in a 2 bedroom condo, so we try to not own anything that can't be used in three different ways! For example; Chairs – To sit on, hang laundry and use as a ladder! Having a child is a little bit more challenging, but we try our best!
1 – 4Moms MamaRoo
This is the minimalist's dream. The Mamaroo replaced our bassinet, swing and bouncy seat. We originally bought this because Sawyer outgrew her Rock N Play (long legged girl!) but when we tried to transition her to the crib, she cried in pain whenever she was lying on a flat surface.The Mamaroo has the ability to sit/recline at almost any angle, so we could adjust it to her comfort, slowly leaning it further back until she could sleep flat.
2 – Angel Care Sound and Movement Monitor
So once we successfully transitioned to the crib at 3 1/2 months, Sawyer immediately began rolling over to her tummy. She then began sleeping flat on her face, I'm talking straight up face plant: nose smooshed against the mattress. So whenever she slept, I could NOT sleep. I stared at the monitor to ensure she was still breathing. This monitor gives me some serious peace of mind and I can allow her to face plant away. I also feel more comfortable that it has no video now that there are so many stories about the wifi monitors being hacked and the radio frequency ones being used to scope out houses for burglary.
3 – Sassy Developmental Toys
These letters are simple but Sawyer goes to town on them. I attach them to her stroller and keep some letters in my purse so she can play and chew on demand.
4 – Honest Products
I read and researched this company up and down before Sawyer was born and I was very impressed with their mission. I have used the Honest Diapers and wipes since Sawyer was born and haven't had any leaking or diaper rash issues. Plus the designs are super cute! We also use their bath wash, lotion, cleaning products…ok, basically everything else too. My husband thinks I joined an Honest Cult. Hey, you can't beat the at the door delivery of amazing products.
5 – Baby Einstein Musical Activity Jumper
When I first saw this monstrosity, I thought "man, that looks like an array of garbage". Yes, it is big, but once Sawyer could hold her head up and roll over, it was harder to keep her entertained and I didn't want her suddenly crawling into danger when I tried to get something done in the house. This thing literally saves my days. Scoot it near the kitchen and I can actually cook and clean and she has fun by herself for 30-40 minutes at a time!
6 – Disposable Underpads
These were sent home with me from the hospital and I bought more! These were great for the first few months because of accidents on the changing station between diapers (even when there was a diaper underneath her!). We've saved some serious time and $$ by not having to replace or scrub to death our Aiden & Anais pad covers!
7 – BabyLegs Leg Warmers
Super functional for keeping the legs warm (who knew?) and you don't need to take them off between diaper changes….and let's face it, they're adorable.
8 – Dear Kate panties
Dear Kates are a revolutionary invention that have saved my butt – literally and figuratively. They hold up to 3 tablespoons of liquid, so you can forgo the massive canoe pad during your period. Being totally real here; when I was 5 months pregnant, I developed a hemorrhoid so big that we had to do surgery. I bled for 3 weeks, and I am NOT a "pad girl." I had recently read about Dear Kate's and placed an order ahead of time, anticipating some late pregnancy incontinence. I lived in my Dear Kate's during this time and became quite attached! After my c-section, I still bled for a month, so I called back in my Dear Kate's. I don't know what I'd have done without them! Not only are they tremendously effective and green…but super pretty! Also, their customer service is top notch and they stand by their guarantee!
This one is no longer for sale – but I highly recommend something like it:
9 – It's the Lululemon Festival Bag
If you can find it on eBay or something like it, I can't praise it enough. I own a Jujube BFF diaper bag which I love, but it's so big and bulky, I couldn't possibly take it everywhere. Plus, I was constantly taking the necessary items in and out of my purse and putting them in the diaper bag…it was ridiculous. This bag has a bottom compartment where I put 3 diapers, wipes, a pacifier, a bottle, a burp rag and a small toy, then the center compartment is all my personal items (money, make up, etc.), then two outer compartments for your phone and keys. Also, it can be worn cross body (most days) or as a fanny pack (when she's in her carrier). My biggest fear is that someone will steal my purse, not because they'll steal the items, but because I may not be able to replace this!
10 – Orbit Travel System
This was one investment I was on the fence about, but glad I went with my gut. I'm never hesitant to take Sawyer places or make a quick stop because it's soooo easy to pop this thing on the stroller and go in. I have been stopped many times asking what kind of stroller it is because they see how quickly I get in and out of my car, and how I spin her around when we're at dinner so she can face the table and the stroller isn't blocking everyone. I love how sterdy this thing is too. Very secure strolling!
How awesome are Janny and Sawyer? I am obsessed with the Lulu Lemon bag and am officially on the hunt for one! xo

A seat on the three-person committee opened after Mayor Ted Kiefer resigned
on Jan. 2.
Orr previously ran for a committee seat last November but lost by 15 votes to Eric Port.
The township Democratic party chose to forgo submitting three names for the position and solely nominated Orr.
"Not only is it not uncommon, it's very common for committees on the county and the municipal level to only submit one name to replace an elected official," said Freeholder Doug Long, who swore in Orr.
Orr previously served as Cumberland County engineer.
"I think we finally got ourselves a good start this year and we look forward to doing some work for this township," Port said.
Greenwich is still without a solicitor since Tom Seeley resigned.
According to Lisa Garrison, township clerk, Greenwich plans on sending out requests for quotes to area attorneys for the position.
During the same meeting, William C. Reinhart and Port were appointed as mayor and deputy mayor, respectively.
Reinhart and Orr are both Democrats while Port ran as Republican last election.

Clean Sports sets deadline
Read more below
- Published 12.05.14
|B.V.P. Rao speaks at the news conference on Sunday. Picture by UB Photos
Guwahati, May 11: Clean Sports India, the campaign to clean up sports administration, today launched its Assam chapter, setting a December 31 deadline to state politicians to relinquish their posts as heads of sports organisations.
Launching the state unit with the formation of an ad hoc committee headed by Arjuna awardee athlete Bhogeswar Barua as president and former Assam Olympic Association secretary Mukut Medhi as convener, Clean Sports India's national convener B.V.P. Rao said sports administration in Assam has failed miserably, particularly after the 33rd National Games, and it was time to look for reforms.
"We have demanded certain reforms like immediate resignation of politicians like Himanta Biswa Sarma, Rakibul Hussain, Bhubaneswar Kalita and Durgadas Boro who are holding presidents' posts in multiple sports associations of Assam except one in which they are proficient. We also demand the constitution of an experts' committee to suggest long term reforms, conduct of all future sports associations elections in accordance with the sports code of India and others," Rao said.
"If the Assam Olympic Association headed by chief minister Tarun Gogoi fails to do so before December 31, we will take hundreds of passionate sportspersons and administrators from Assam to stage a demonstration in front of Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi's office in New Delhi because he himself has advocated implementation of sports code and removal of non-sportspersons from the helm of affairs in sports organisations," Rao said.

$123 Million Year-over-year, Report Says
A report was published recently by the Daily Crowdsource that was based on an evaluation of eight reward-based crowdfunding platforms (where a donor receives a reward of value in exchange for a cash contribution) and six investment-based platforms (where investors receive equity or interest on their investment). All platforms evaluated in the latter category were based outside of the US, where they are in fact legal today. The rewards-based platforms evaluated are all US companies and are legal, as long as they don't offer investors an equity or interest based position in the outcome, and include the popular fundraisers Kickstarter, RocketHub, and WeFund.
In 2011, crowdfunded businesses and projects raised $102 million on rewards-based platforms, including $85.4 million raised by projects that reached their total funding goal. Over 2010 figures, "this signifies a 266 percent increase in the total amount donated and a 263 percent increase in the amount donated to projects that received their full funding," according to the authors.
They attribute the explosion to the "increase in the number of projects that are being posted online." More than 31,000 projects sought crowdfunded donations in 2011, up from just under 12,000 in 2010. The Daily Crowdsource reports that not only are more projects being launched, but the number of projects achieving their full funding goal is also increasing, "indicating the market is becoming more efficient at allocating resources." The Daily Crowdsource says its research on the nascent crowdfunding industry was conducted over three years, and is based on data collection and interviews with leadership at all 14 crowdfunding platforms evaluated.
Investment-based crowdfunded projects raised a collective $20.5 million in 2011 – five times more than was raised the previous year. And, these aren't projects that would have ever seen the light of day in front of traditional venture investors. These are projects like Duality of Bell, a short film about Bell, a teenage girl struggling to preserve her youthful innocence with some new-found whatevers, or Build a Greener Block (BABG), a community of Las Vegans looking to take over an empty block in downtown Las Vegas on April 28th and 29th, and for this one weekend they're transforming the block into a living community, where instead of empty stores there will be a restaurant offering healthy food, a boutique, a café, a flower shop. Well, you get the idea.
Can you imagine what this space will look like once Congress get's this bill approved? How about Pandora, which was turned down 300 times by some super-smart Venture Capitalists? Or, Skype. Turned down 40 times before getting funded and going on to a massive exit.
Or, better yet, a little company in Mountain View, that in the early months of 1999, its founders Sergey and Larry, still students at Stanford University at the time, wanted to sell the project they named Google and focus on education. They approached George Bell, the CEO of Excite for a $1 Million buyout. This was rejected by George. There were a number of negotiations that almost led to a $750,000 buyout offer. This was rejected by Sergey and Larry and, according to George Bell (circa 1999) they asked for an investment instead. George said that he rejected the counter offers and let the idea drop. About five months and 22 venture presentations later, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and Sequoia Capital invested $25 million in Google, and the rest is as they say, history.
I don't know about you all, but I can hardly wait to get my hands on the next Google, or Facebook, and I am convinced that our buddies in Congress are going to pave the way to make that happen. Of course (shameless plug) iPeopleFINANCE will be the platform on which the next Facebook will promote its first raise, and get funded. A whole new, on-line Silicon Valley for start-ups, funding innovation and creating real jobs. Truly exciting!

It is nice to see wooden siding floor for the bedroom. You will see stylish bathroom design with double shower room design. You can find modern bathtub in the middle of two shower rooms. You should see the picture gallery until the last picture. This duplex condo shows you not only an apartment interior design with carpet, but also a real comfort apartment in lavish touch.
