Bad Moon Arising? By John D. Verlin

Few pictures in our lifetimes conjure up more imagery than the planets and our solar system.

From pics of the earth from the moon to Saturn's rings, Jupitors' moons and comet trails and now a blood-red total eclipse of the moon.

With John Fogarty's Bad Moon Rising playing in the back ground--I read with interest the varying viewpoints about this most recent eclipse--particularly the apocryphal.

Joel 2:31
The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD.

Occurring on the first night of Passover--was this coincidence or part of prophetic revelation of the end times?

While not to over focus on this one event--but be mindful of the "times", I awoke at 2:20am to attempt to photograph the height of the eclipse.

Stumbling in a robe and out the front door--i raised my camera and zoomed in on the event. It looked like someone had slugged the moon in the eye and it was turning blood red.

With low light--I hoped the shutter would stay open long enough to capture the moment.

Click, Click and then "battery expired" notice popped up in the view finder.

"Great" I thought. Oh well...looks cool. Now back to bed.

The next morning--I checked my outcome and discovered two "fuzzy" pics of the moon...not very sharp or focused.

I decided they weren't very good--and just move on and look for other events.

That evening--my brother sent me his picture of it. He had a new 19 megapixel camera which had a good lens on it.

Now this--was a nice picture! Sharp and in focus--he captured what I had hoped to do. Much like I'm sure, many other photographers--this one was a keeper!

Million-Dollar $ecrets To Getting More Customers--Dick Ray, The Master Plumber

"In order to do it right--you'd have to get a backhoe and dig up a ten foot section of the front yard...remove the pipe and replace it with a new section. Or...you could hire a guy like me to do it. And I'm not cheap..." I'd come to know Dick Ray Jr. through handling his father's advertising account on our classical radio station back in the 80's. Owners of Shawnee Mission Plumbing, Heating & Cooling since the 50's--their quality service and reputation are unmatched by many competitors in the Kansas City market. Today, Dick Ray Jr. continues that quality since his parents passing years ago. What distinguished their advertising--was the familiar voice that intro'd all of their ads...."This is Dick Ray the master plumber..." In a casual midwestern drawl , he'd meticulously talk about his time in the Navy, the quality of products they carry--and the fact that nobody...BUT NOBODY has more parts on his truck, than Di...

This Is Content Marketing To The EXTREME!

By John D. Verlin According to Mike Gonzalez' article in the Wall Street Journal today--never have we seen a more blatant act of "content" marketing than what Obamacare is planning via the California Endowment (investing $130 million) in messages/commercials to convince Hispanics to sign up for the Affordable Care Act. Ever since Norman Lear's "socially-prominent" sitcoms of the '70's have we seen messaging content "woven" into story lines by the likes of Hollywood screen writers. Mr. Hernandez reports, This week saw fresh evidence of how worried ObamaCare supporters are: news of an effort to use Hollywood story lines to send a message to Hispanics that they should sign up. It's not the first time promoters of government programs have used TV and radio programming to win over the country's largest minority group. If ever there was a confluence of crony capitalism, big government, Hollywood, liberal media and the academy, t...
