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 New Customers--Dean Blay, Mr. Remodeler

"John...the ad ain't drawin' flies..." Dean...what happened this time last year? "The ad didn't draw flies.." Then what happened the following month? "Well...we did get more sales..." For over twelve years I worked with one of Kansas City's best-loved home remodelers', Mr. Remodeler, Dean Blay. Dean had voiced his own radio ads on our classical station, a music of your life station and several newstalk stations. Sadly--his voice was silenced this past July due to his death. But Dean Blays' memory and radio ads will long be remembered. Dean had a deep...slow delivery and country accent when he read his radio ads. When I first started to work with his advertising--he would give us a cassette tape from his Phone Mate machine with his ad on it. He was too nervous to record in our studio! When he finally did come to our production room, we turned on the reel tape recorder and left the room so our engineer wouldn't mak...

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...

Have Marketers Put Too Much Emphasis on The Benefits of Social Media?

Is it me...or I'm I confused as to how a business that predominantly caters to 15-30 year olds can be worth $13 billion? That's one suggested valuation of Twitter heading in to their IPO. What's more--as they begin to add advertising popping up on their Tweets and Tweeters--how can I, as a potential investor know what kind of revenue they can produce to justify their valuation? What's more--what kind of sales can I expect from that age demographic? Granted, that age demographic probably Tweets more than the rest of us--but can the advertising investment be justified considering their disposable income? If I sell cars to the 18-34 year old crowd--are they really going to Tweet their best friend at the moment the test drive ends and ask if they should buy it or not (according to one posts' theory)? Surely, we all want advice from our friends in the purchase of certain items--but have marketers over-emphasized the benefits of using social media...
