The Best Marketing Materials to Get the Attention of Your Customers
When you start a business, you have to get your customers' attention immediately. For that, you have to use the best marketing materials. There are hundreds of different marketing materials for you to choose from. Some are meant specifically for branding purposes, some to make you stand out, and some to get the attention of the customer. Let's take a look at the three best marketing materials.
Three of the Best Marketing Materials to Get Customers' Attention
Pylon Signs
Pylon signs are able to get the attention of your customers because they are big. They can be seen from a big distance because of how tall they usually are. The most common use of pylon signs is at the gas stations. You usually see those large and tall signs with the name of the brand and prices of the gas on them.
Awnings are great not only because they get customers' attention quickly but also because they provide shade to them too. They can be in many different shapes. They can turn the outside of the business building into a shelter. They are perfect for restaurants and any businesses located along the curbs of the streets.
Neon Signs
Neon signs are the best because of how stylish, bright, and attention-grabbing they are. They can be in numerous colors and each color has a personality and impact. The best thing about neon lights is that they can be used indoors as well as outdoors. They have the best visibility at night because of their glow.
When it comes to marketing your business in the outside world, you don't want to compromise on the quality of the signs and the type of sign you pick. If you put an aluminum sign where a neon sign makes sense, you won't get the attention of your customers like you expect.

Nottingham Croquet Club welcomes new members of all ages and backgrounds, including people who are completely new to croquet, and offers a range of activities and support to help you try out, learn, enjoy and master this fascinating, engaging sport, and participate in the life of the club. The best way to start is to come to one of our popular free Open Days in May - details here - and then if you would like to take it further, follow it up with our Introductory Membership and Coaching programme detailed below.
In 2020 the club will be running the following Introductory Coaching Courses, mainly for the benefit of new members who have little or no prior croquet experience. They are also relevant if you have played croquet in a back garden or a hotel but haven't played club croquet with tournament class equipment, and may also be suitable for people who joined as new members last year and would value a refresher.
You may participate in any or all of these three courses:
Tuesday evenings, May 19th and 26th at 6 p.m. - 'An Introduction to Croquet' with Derek Blow.
Tuesday evenings, June 2nd to July 7th at 6 p.m. - Follow-on Beginners' Course with Ailsa Lines.
Thursday evenings, June 4th and 11th at 6 p.m. - Moving on with Golf Croquet with Roger Berkeley.
The 'Introduction to Croquet' course is designed to help you quickly learn how to take advantage of the club's facilities, to teach you some strokes and hoop running techniques, and to put it all together in a game which you will be able to play with friends and other club members by the end of the course. There is no need to be a full club member to participate in this course. An Introductory Membership fee of £30 will cover membership for this period, access to the club, use of equipment, the coaching course and coaching materials.
At the end of this course you will be invited to take up full membership of the club for the remainder of the year (to 30th April 2021) for a reduced rate of £60 if you have already paid the £30 Introductory membership (or £90 otherwise). This will entitle you to all the benefits of membership, a Welcome Pack for new members, participation in the follow-on coaching courses, subsequent ongoing support and an opportunity to take part in a beginners' tournament at the end of the season.
The six-week follow-on Beginners' Course is intended mainy for new members. This course will extend your skills and understanding of the game, teaching you a wider range of strokes and introducing break building and strategy. By the end of this you will be on your way as a croquet player and will be able to participate in a range of activities designed for new players.
'Moving on with Golf Croquet' is a two-week follow-on course consolidating the skills you have already learned, building your confidence and getting your first handicap so you can complete with other club members.
All our courses are intended to be enjoyable and sociable as well as instructive. No croquet equipment is needed; just come with flat-soled footwear and suitably comfortable clothing for an outdoor activity.
This year's beginners will be invited to play against each other in a one day tournament on Saturday 19th September and compete for the Derek Blow Trophy for beginners.
For more information or to register an interest, please contact our membership secretary by using the Enquiries form.

Thanksgiving Traditions
I have a sort of tradition of taking Big Red to my parents' house for Thanksgiving dinner. I can't always do it but this year "Aunt Cori" had arranged to spend the rest of the weekend with her dear friend Paula and Paula's daughters Kristen (13) and Lauren (11). Hi guys! The fact that it was 25 degrees this year as I packed to leave was only of mild concern. Of greater concern were the 99 cold miles between me and the food that awaited my arrival. Given the distance, temperature, shortness of the day, and the fact that I was riding into heavy deer territory, the plan was to spend the night at my parents' place and ride back the next day.
A couple things go along with my Thanksgiving riding tradition. One is my brother (who also rides but never when it's that cold outside), catching my eye from across the room and telling me I'm "expletive crazy" for riding. Another is my other, more secret tradition of sneaking some deviled eggs off the table without being caught before dinner. Mom makes a deviled egg that can only be described as heavenly and I only get them once or twice a year.
The tray with eggs, carrot strips, and sweet pickles (these latter two items serving merely as filler – I've never seen anyone touch them) is the first thing on the table every year. You know that trick you used when you were a kid of rearranging the food on your plate so it looked like you ate more than you did so you could be excused? I know, I know… it never worked for me either. Well, parents are hip to that trick when you're young. When you're 48, though, their guard is down, they don't suspect such childish behavior and you can use that same technique to hide your tracks. You swipe a few eggs, rearrange the remaining ones, and get away undetected. I've gotten away with it for years.
I've always said every ride is a good ride. Among the best are those that end with seeing the smiling faces of the people you love most in the world. After dinner was over and everyone was gone (and having, once again, gotten away with the egg heist) I settled down with a beer to watch the movie Stepbrothers with my mother, whom I so love to hear laugh. All the while I knew that the next day I would get to ride the 99 miles back home with a plate of leftovers in my top-case (maybe even a few deviled eggs if there were any left). It doesn't get much better than that.

Jirko Malchárek, the new minister.
photo: ČTK
Prime Minister Mikuláš Dzurinda nominated Malchárek on September 12. After waiting nearly three weeks, Gašparovič finally decided to appoint Malchárek to the post. The president's decision came shortly on the heels of a personal request by Mikloš.
"The Economy Ministry needs a full-time minister. There are too many problems and challenges in the ministry, including those left behind by the former minister [Rusko]," Mikloš said on October 3.
Arguing that it was hard to tackle two ministries at once, especially at a time when he was working hard to prepare next year's state budget, Mikloš asked the president to accelerate Malchárek's appointment.
"I will name Malchárek [as economy minister] as the PM gave me his name but the responsibility is on the one who proposed him," Gašparovič told the SITA news agency.
At the appointment ceremony, Malchárek told the media that he intended to complete the ongoing privatization of state property transparently and advantageously. His other goals include improving the business environment; supporting the influx of foreign direct investments, especially into regions suffering high unemployment; and developing tourism and small- and medium-sized businesses in Slovakia using EU funds.
In his welcome speech, president Gašparovič echoed his doubts over Malchárek's nomination.

Malchárek would not say who would comprise his closest team at the ministry, only that he would cooperate closely with Mikloš.
Malchárek entered national politics in 1998 as a member of now defunct Party of Civic Understanding, which was founded by Slovakia's former president, Rudolf Schuster. Ahead of the 2002 national elections Malchárek joined Rusko's liberal New Citizen's Alliance (ANO) and worked as one of his closest peers until Rusko was embroiled in an alleged conflicts of interest scandal.
Malchárek belongs to the splinter group of ANO members led by ANO vice-chairman, Ľubomír Lintner, who thought Rusko should voluntarily leave his ministerial post after the scandal was brought to light. Lintner and his loyalists were later expelled from the ANO.
When the prime minister announced the nomination of Malchárek, the opposition parties immediately voiced doubts about the MP's qualifications.
Now that Malchárek has been appointed, opposition parties have said that they will scrutinize his every move and will not hesitate to try to oust him before the customary 100-day grace period is up if necessary.
According to Tibor Cabaj, the head of the opposition Movement for a Democratic Slovakia (HZDS) caucus, Malchárek is a poor choice for economy minister.
"Every day that Malchárek serves as a minister, he will cause major damage to Slovakia," Cabaj told journalists at a press conference October 4.
Cabaj believes that Malchárek's appointment is the result of Lintner deciding to support the minority government after Rusko and his ANO withdrew to the opposition.
The ANO party has no plans to initiate Malchárek's removal as economy minister as an act of revenge. "We take his appointment as fact. We do not think that we should evaluate his qualifications for the job. Time will prove whether the selection was good," said Magda Krasulová, the ANO spokeswoman.
Krasulová refused to speculate on how the ANO would react if another opposition group initiated Malchárek's dismissal.
"In any case, we think that the reason for removing Malchárek should not be the fact that he is Malchárek. There have to be reasons for his possible recall and therefore he needs time to show how capable he is as economy minister," she told The Slovak Spectator on October 4.
In reaction to the opposition's rejection of him as a candidate, Malchárek said, "If the opposition already knows that I am a bad minister, it is clear that they do not care about how the ministry is managed but only about their political goals."
| Introducing the new economy minister
JIRKO Malchárek was born in the Czech Republic on June 28, 1966. After graduating from the Slovak Technical University in Bratislava, he worked for the city's public transportation company DPMB before finding new employment at the Office of the Governmental Plenipotentiary for the Automotive Industry. Until 1995, Malchárek worked as a private businessman in the area of leasing.
After the 1998 parliamentary elections, Malchárek became an MP as a member of the ruling Party of Civic Understanding. In 2002 he left the party to co-found the liberal New Citizen's Alliance with Pavol Rusko. Expelled from the party in September 2005, Malchárek nevertheless remained a member of the ANO parliamentary caucus, chaired by Ľubomír Lintner.
Malchárek is renowned for his passion for car racing. An honorary chairman of the F1 Slovensko Club, he has represented Slovakia in automobile sports for 11 years.

Dogs and Cats Getting Along
Dogs and cats are known as two animals that are, by nature, supposed to rival each other. It's such a silly notion, as I have seen plenty of dogs and cats get along, even within the same house and family! It's understandable that dogs and cats might not pair well because they both have such different personalities – cats are loving, but very independent, whereas dogs are loving, loyal, and more dependent on their people and the attention they give.
The relationship with dogs and cats might not be even close to a BFF (best friends forever) connection, but we as pet parents should do our best to promote positive interactions and experiences with our dogs and cats. Animals have a way of communicating their boundaries with others, and normally, these social cues will be picked up and for the most part, respected. But if your dog decides that chasing and tormenting the cat all day is fair game, or even snapping or attacking the cat is acceptable, then we need to really step in and address this behavioral problem.
If boundaries have been set, and your dog is still choosing to cross them, then it is time to refresh the dog on how to respect boundaries in general. If your dog was breaking a boundary with you, you as the owner and human would want to address it. If your dog decided he was going to chase you around the house or constantly bite you, you wouldn't just take it! Neither should your cat, or anyone else!
Even dogs that have a high prey drive can learn to behave around their feline counterparts. Cat reactivity and aggression can be trained, as it is simply about regrouping the dog and having he/she remember that YOU as the owner are pack leader. You as the pack leader do not want any commotion between the dog and cat, and the dog must follow this command and lead. Sometimes it's just getting back to the basic obedience stuff that helps a dog remember what it means to respect boundaries. Promote positive behaviors for your dog with your cat, but also be sure to correct any so that he/she understands that this is just not an option in your home!
Dogs and cats don't have to be sworn enemies…and that includes yours! If your dog's prey drive or unruly behavior is negatively impacting your cat's life (and most likely yours because of this), then call 800-639-7297 and we'll set up a plan of success that will lead to a happy coexistence between your dog and cat!

I'm Back
I had just a fantastic race in Victoria at the Oak Bay 10k.
It was a perfect day. Warm and sunny for an 8am race. Beautiful breeze by the Oak Bay Marina with an inspiring walk with Charmaine, taking many photos. I was off for my 2km warm up to check out the course and felt really good.
There was a total of 1600 competitors and I managed to finish 9th overall, 2nd in the over 40 age group. (I was announced as 7th place, but it turned out a couple of runners ran faster than me even though they finished behind me. Obviously they crossed the timing chip machine at the start line later than I did.) I came down with the goal of finishing top 10 overall and top 3 in the masters category. Mission accomplished!
My official time was 40:36, though my watch said 40:27. Either way, I'm super happy with a minute improvement over my Sun Run 10km a month ago.
I felt so in control and so comfortable on the run. My breathing was calm, the heart rate surprisingly low and my legs never hurt. I definitely achieved the elusive "flow" as I call it. I was in the zone. And I was calculating in my strategy. It was pretty much a perfect race, and just the start of a fantastic vacation.
This could have been the race where I finally broke 40:00. Had I known the course better before hand, I think that would have helped some. But my biggest stumbling block was, as always, the brain. I ran by feel really, and I felt invincible. But I did not get to that level of pain needed to get to the next level of accomplishment. I need to get comfortable with being uncomfortable.
That is good news in that I am that close and very comfortable. So ultimately I need to learn to train more so that I can get below these goals while being comfortable. It is a doable option. But I would like to learn to break these mental barriers when I really need to dig down deep.
The other really good news is - and this will help my mental game - I really believe that I am back. The past six weeks or so I knew I was getting close. Now I am there. Last year I overtrained so much that I literally stressed my central nervous system. And it has taken over a year to get back to where I was.
I'm back and, thanks to the many lessons learned in the struggles of the past number of months, I am better than ever.

text: The SIG Sauer P228 was introduced in 1989 as a compact companion to full-sized P226. P228 featured same design characteristics of the P226, but is somewhat smaller and has a smaller magazine capacity. The overall shape of the P228 also was made slightly less angular and more suitable for concealment. The SIG P228 is a double-action semi-automatic pistol, extremely reliable, deadly accurate and many say, more comfortable than the glocks.In around 1991 the P228 was adopted by US Armed forces as the M11 pistol, and is issued to Military Police and some other units. The P228 is also a highly popular police and civilian sidearm throughout Europe and the USA, as well as by FBI, Secret Service and the DEA.

New combo today. Arabic coffee isn't the new bit, it's the bun. A sickly sweet bun with butter, not sure I'm a fan.
But it is something different, and the coffee was good. And after a bout of shopping for last minute gifts, much needed sustenance. The sun is also a nice change from foggy darkness.

Una Mclean's life spanned humanitarian medicine in Aden, community medicine in Nigeria, community medicine in Scotland, academic studies, social anthropology, all coupled with a prodigious scientific output (over 50 peer-reviewed papers), the publication of five books and a family of five children and two stepchildren. Born in the west of Scotland of deeply religious parents (she was a daughter of the manse), this strict and austere upbringing served to make her a lifelong atheist and humanist but did nothing to dampen her duty of care and concern for the disadvantaged. Dr Mclean qualified in medicine at Edinburgh University in 1949 and her first post was held with Sir Stanley Davidson and Dr Wilfred Card. Her subsequent studies led to her gaining MD, PhD, FFCM and more.
With her first husband, Dr Mclean worked in Aden and later worked in Nigeria with her then second husband (a well-known Labour politician, John P Mackintosh). Her subsequent studies included cancer research, blood transfusion and smallpox. Returning to Edinburgh she worked for 23 years in the Department of Community Medicine – three of them as acting head.
She had strong views which she did not keep to herself which included Scottish independence. Her family were her main interest but others included being a founding member of the Scotch Malt Whisky Society.

RehabWire - Volume 9, Number 5, June 2007.
|Housing and homeownership are key issues in participation and community living, as highlighted in this month's projects and articles.
NIDRR Grantees on the Cutting Edge.
Rehabilitation Engineering and Research Center (RERC) on Universal Design and the Built Environment at Buffalo, State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo (H133E050004) led by Edward Steinfeld, ArchD. Thomas Corfman, Project Officer.
Abstract: The RERC on Universal Design and the Built Environment is engaging the public and private sectors across four broad domains of the built environment: (1) community infrastructure, (2) public buildings, (3) housing, and (4) products. The RERC-UD generates strategically important research, development, education, and dissemination deliverables, to advance the fields of rehabilitation engineering and environmental design. The RERC-UD deliverables integrate universal design principles within the generally accepted models, methods, and metrics of design and engineering professionals in the building and manufacturing industries. Research projects document the efficacy of existing universally designed environments, and generate critical human factors data essential to resolving design and engineering problems. Development projects create evidence-based guidelines to implement universal design concepts within the tools of the design professions, and formulate methods to evaluate the usability of designs for people with mobility, sensory, and cognitive impairments. The usefulness of the guidelines and evaluation methods are demonstrated by applying them to the development of innovative products and environments with industry partners. Training activities emphasize online certificate programs in universal design for design professionals, builders, manufacturers, and consumer advocates; a web portal and site for students and educators; and graduate programs that train researchers in advanced methods. Dissemination outputs include traditional refereed and trade publications, an extensive website with downloadable information products and design tools, model home demonstrations in local communities across the country, and outreach activities with professional, business, and standards development organizations. The RERC-UDs state-of-the-science conference includes stakeholders in a plan to elevate universal design to an integral component of the mainstream design and engineering disciplines.

Homeless Mentally Ill: Strategies for Maintaining Residential Stability, University of Illinois at Chicago (H133G040320) led by Christine Helfrich, PhD. David W. Keer, Project Officer.
Abstract: This project implements, evaluates, and disseminates a life skills intervention designed to increase skills necessary for maintaining housing for 230 homeless adults with psychiatric disabilities to prevent their return to the streets, reinstitutionalization, hospitalization, or jail. These skills include room and self-care management, food management, financial management, and safe community participation. This three-year project is conducted in two housing programs: supervised emergency housing and single room occupancy housing with case management. The intervention was developed based on Empowerment Theory, the Transtheoretical Model of Change, Social Learning Theory using a skills training approach, and the Model of Human Occupation. The objective of this intervention is to increase the time an individual remains housed and decrease the evictions that occur secondary to his/her inability to perform the skills and behaviors necessary to maintain housing.

Abstract: National survey data was used to examine the extent to which individual and environmental characteristics are associated with the likelihood of unmet need for assistance in performing activities of daily living (ADLs) among adults with disabilities living in houses compared with apartment dwellers. Analysis focused on the relative contribution of individual capabilities, social resources, social roles and norms, and physical environmental measures to unmet ADL needs. Results showed that less than one in five subjects with a specific limitation in activities of daily living had unmet needs for that ADL. The likelihood of unmet ADL assistance increased with the number of ADL limitations and other health status indicators. It was at least 50 percent higher among those living in apartments than in houses. There were no differences by age or gender.

Milk by Beverley Farmer
Ismini at sixteen, carefully putting together the surprise birthday dinner for her father, ponders the untranslatable realities of words:
One morning on a hot wooden jetty her father had hauled a squid out of the flashing sea. Dripping, its bright mantle fading, it had shuddered and wheezed at her feet, blind in the white sun, as it died.
Oh what is it, Baba?
Mummy, Baba's caught a kalamari!
Oh yes, look. A squid.
In English it was a different creature.

One thing I love about sport and trad climbing over bouldering is that partnership you get. You can't jump on, fall off, swap, jump on, fall, swap, jump – you get the picture – so easily and so you are that much more invested in your rope partner's success. When they're climbing, they trust you to catch them, to keep them safe, and you're trusting them not to do something too risky, or dangerous.
It's great.
Saturday 29th March 2019, Horseshoe Quarry
The weather for this whole week has just been magic. As I type, we're heading closer toward golden hour and it's just beautifully still outside, the skies are so clear, and I've been wearing sandals these past few days.
It's March.
(I'm really, genuinely worried, actually. Is this all a symptom of global warming? Probably.)
So we headed off to Horseshoe Quarry – not the most beautiful of locations, but we knew it as we'd spent a weekend there last year, it had a short approach, and we felt pretty comfortable there.
We spent a little *too* long working out how to tie an anchor – Baz had never done it before and I was so used to trad anchors I needed to brush the cobwebs off and relearn a totally different thing. You know when you just don't do something for ages, and you forget? Yeah that was me. And also, I've only done like 3 outdoor sport leads in my life, so I'm really just as new as Baz at this stuff.
After finally working out how to create an anchor (which Baz would then get a little wrong up top, but he was still totally safe so at least there's that) and then we set off to:
totally flail on the first 5+ climb.
Very, very spaced bolts and steep climbing after the second bolt, with a ledge fall, was perhaps not the best first climb for us to try. Baz went up, tried a few times, came down. I went up, same thing. But this ain't no inside wall, we had quickdraws up there so I bullied Baz into going up a third time, which he totally breezed, and got to the top, allowing me to flawlessly second the route with zero issues.
Isn't it weird how fear can change your climbing completely? Especially as a new climber? This lovely little route was most definitely a 5+ with one slightly tricky move and then an easy, lovely, scrambley finish. But it had just a couple of moves above the second bolt that made us question ourselves. We both backed off something we could definitely do, and definitely did do, in the end.
Headgame is wierd. And something to work on.
Anyway, we retrieved the draws, revived our confidence, and set out on the next. This time, another 5-something in a loose-rocky corner. Bridgey climbing. My favourite. Baz breezed up, came down. I went up, feeling pretty solid, and excited to be finally doing some longer leads outside, and not really feeling that all-consuming fear. My biggest fear the whole time yesterday was about encountering spiders.
By this point we had been there more than 3 hours! 3 hours and we'd only done two routes! Pretty terrible to be honest, but it was just so nice to. be out in the sun, Baz managed to squeeze in a last 6a lead before we hopped in the car and headed back to Leeds.
View this post on Instagram
Big congrats to this one (swipe for happy send face!) for doing his first outdoor sport lead yesterday. Going from powering up inside 7B projects to getting humbled by a 5+ with spaced bolts is quite a learning curve, and I was happy to be at the other end of the rope to provide soothing "I got you"s and "nice"s when things felt a little sketchy. 💓🌞🧗🏽♂ ⠀ ⠀ I also did my own first outdoor lead that was higher than like... 15 meters (!!) so I'm pretty stoked, too. Though, I beginning to think I'm a full trad convert now, I'm excited to get out of quarries to spend full days belaying on mountainsides. Think you're up for it @bazman88? ⛰⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #climbing #guyswhoclimb #womenwhoclimb #climbersofinstagram #sportclimbing #tradclimbing #climbingrocks #climbingnation #leadclimbing #takelessdomore #adventureenthusiast #exploretheoutdoors #outdoorisfree #outdoorstuff #exploremoreworryless #exploremoretogether #exploremoreportraits #letstravelmore #peakdistrict #horseshoe #thinklesstravelmore #outdoorisfree #outdoorslover #wildernessvibes #thepeaks #treephotography
Baz also made his first Youtube video! Go check it out.
I'm kind of hoping he becomes YouTube famous so I can totally ride his famous wave.

Recently, Cataleya and I attended an intimate white party to celebrate Gum Tree's grand opening of their second store in Manhattan Beach. Even my dad came along, actually he's been so kind lately to take a break away from his wood shop to join us.
It was the first time I've heard of this adorable shop. I absolutely love these kind of shops, because they carry the most unique items. At this location they carry a mixture of their Gum Tree and Gum Tree Kids.
We even got to indulge in some hot chocolate and sugar cookies, thank goodness those were white as Cataleya went to town on those. I didn't have to worry about her white outfit!
They do have a Gum Tree Cafe over in Hermosa. I haven't gone yet, however they provided some dishes at the event. I absolutely need to check the cafe out. Love the fact they use organic and mostly local ingredients, huge interest for me.
While I was there I even picked up another little gift for Cataleya to put under tree. So glad they wrapped it up for me because she would of probably grabbed it up out of the bag. I think she was hinting me what she wanted.

RE introduce Microsoft Multiplan ®
In your previous days of spreadsheets Microsoft sold a product called Multiplan. I was a very simple spreadsheet that could easily be made to appear like an application. I used it extensively. It was a very small program and I believe would be the answer to the tablet market. Excel is like using a tractor trailer truck to move your leaves to the mulch pile when a little cart will do.
What are your thoughts on that. Is that being looked at?

Good news tonight - I have not just one, but two new original Faces of Faery paintings!! One with a dragon theme, the other with a VAMPIRE theme! And both start at just ONE PENNY on eBay! Also Chris (my brother-in-law at Magical_Figurines) has some new auctions - this time for one of my Motorcycle faeries (Tidal Wave) and BC Awareness (Soar). And in even bigger news - a BRAND NEW line of statues is coming up from the Hamilton Collection and you guys are the first to hear about it - it is my very first series of MERMAID STATUES - you can pre-order today to reserve yours - more details & photo links below.
Okay! The new original paintings....to see ALL of my currently available original paintings, including the new ones click below (some ending SOON and some at great prices!)
All Jasmine's New ORIGINAL PAINTINGS are HERE!
Or individually - here is "Faces of Faery 87" - the 87th in the series. Ready to hang - 2" deep cradled masonite as well - she (like ALL of my Faces of Faery) is 6"x6" an ORIGINAL acrylic painting. My Faces of Faery are all the same size & shape and look fantastic when displayed together with their sisters, if you are collector! Since I've been painting a lot of Vampires for my upcoming Vampire Tarot Deck, I've also been fitting in some similarly themed Faces of Faery paintings, and here is one of them - a beautiful vampy girl with delicate fangs and black stripes in her hair! And yes, to give everybody a chance, she is starting at just ONE PENNY! She's up for a 10-day auction ending the afternoon/evening of Thursday, April 15th at 8:55PM Central Time, and you can see her here:
"Faces of Faery: 87" ORIGINAL PAINTING
And - same size & shape of course, 6x6, ready to hang original painting - Faces of Faery #88 - This is the 88th in the series. Faces of Faery all feature beautiful faery-inspired creatures, and she is no exception. For those of you familiar with my little Dragons made popular by the Hamilton Collection series, here is one my little dragonlings in an original painting - a beautiful violet eyed faery girl with a bright purple baby dragon - so cute! Ready to hang! And yes, to give everybody a chance, she is also starting at just ONE PENNY! She's up for a 10-day auction ending the afternoon/evening of Thursday, April 15th at 9:01 PM Central Time, and you can see her here:
"Faces of Faery: 88" ORIGINAL PAINTING
Next up - MERMAID STATUES! For all of you MERMAID fans who have been asking me "Okay, the faeries are cool, but where are my MERMAIDS??" - this is for you guys! As per your request, my first ever Hamilton Collection series featuring mermaids - "Goddesses of the Sea" - series of mermaid figurines are now available for pre-order! You guys here are THE FIRST people I've shown these to, to get in early. These are LIMITED edition, so if you want to avoid loooong backorders, or missing out entirely, please do call and reserve yours asap. That way you can get in on the first batch and guarantee you will actually receive yours, hehe. These aren't online yet, only via the phone to call & pre-order. Don't worry, they don't charge you until they actually ship out!
Just call:
1-877-268-6638 tollfree
- the ITEM NUMBER is 09-04051-001 - or ask for Jasmine Becket-Griffith's "Goddesses of the Sea" figurine collection!
Here is a photo of "Aphrodite" - the first in the series! Photo of the actual statue:
The first statue is named "Aphrodite" (the series combines mermaids with themes of classical mythological goddesses). Calling & pre-ordering now by phone will reserve your mermaid statue - you don't have to pay until it ships! Only $19.99 per figurine, these are about 4.5" high and gorgeous! And yes - those lovely giant pearls are part of the statue! These are LIMITED EDITION and since it is the first time Hamilton has offered any of my mermaids, these may sell out quickly, so definitely get your call in early to reserve her!
Again, just call:
1-877-268-6638 tollfree
- the ITEM NUMBER is 09-04051-001 - or ask for Jasmine Becket-Griffith's "Goddesses of the Sea" figurine collection!
And yes - as I mentioned previously my brother-in-law Chris has new auctions up for several of my Hamilton Collection Figurines - tonight the new ones are "Soar" and "Tidal Wave" (one of my motorcycle faeries!). And he ships anywhere in the world, happily! Please note - unlike some other merchandise, his quantities on Hamilton/Bradofrd collectibles is EXTREMELY limited. Extremely limited meaning he literally has one or two of each kind in stock. So - if you see one you like, you'd better bid on that auction - because it's unlikely he'll be able to re-list additional ones of that character. These auctions from Chris are truly one of a kind too, because I have SIGNED the certificates of authenticity for each statue (and dated). Unless you buy from Chris, you can't really get a signed one (since they normally only ship from the Bradford Group). Since these were my personal samples, I have signed the certificates all in person and mailed the statues to Chris to offer to you guys. There are many different Hamilton Collection statues that he will be listing over the next few weeks/months - and again, he only has one or two of each one, so if you ever want one - be sure to bid! To see all of his current offerings:
Jasmine's Statue Auctions that Start at A Penny HERE
Or individually - up for penny a auction ending Thursday, April 8th at 8:00 PM Central Time:here is "Soar" - a darling pink fairy holding a flower from my Breast Cancer Awareness charity series, "The Magic of Hope". She has long dark hair (kinda like me!) and is just darling. And of course there is a SIGNED CoA, by me, of course! This auction is for the statue numbered #1328A in the edition. Click here to see "Soar":
"Soar" fairy figurine HERE
And just tonight - up for penny a auction ending Monday, April 12th at 8:00 PM Central Time, here is "Tidal Wave" - one of my favourites - a GORGEOUS fairy riding on a Motorcycle with a water elemental theme - you really need to check out all the photos on this one to see just how cool she is! And of course there is a SIGNED CoA, by me, of course! This auction is for the statue numbered #0155A in the edition. Click here to see "Tidal Wave":
"Tidal Wave" Motorcycle Fairy Figurine HERE
Buying from Chris is a great way to get individual figurines (ie, in case you didn't subscribe to the whole collection - you can get some of the later issues!!), sometimes even before the general public gets them! Also it's a great way to get them if they're not typically available in your country. And it's the ONLY way to get them with the Certificates actually signed by me =) Be sure to add Magical_Figurines to your eBay Favourite Sellers list, or bookmark it - he adds new ones all the time!
Until next time...

In this edition, we saw the Leopard cubs outside the range of the 600mm focal length, on a huge rock, just as the sun was rising. The cubs were enjoying the cool morning on the rock before the sunlight warmed up the mountains, giving us another opportunity to get portraits of a Leopard on a rock.

Strike the Pose
There's much talk of fear in America, but in certain circles, it seems to more closely resemble angst. Comedians profess concern about being funny. Studio executives worry about what kind of movies to make. And advertisers and agencies say they're no longer sure how to sell.
Microsoft changed its Windows XP tagline from "Prepare to fly" to "Yes you can." Abercrombie & Fitch pulled the plug on a racy catalog. Coca-Cola scrapped its relatively new theme, "Life tastes good." (How about "Death tastes bad" instead?)
On the other hand, American Ex press is running TV spots gingerly celebrating New York's return to normalcy. And a laundry-soap marketer is going ahead with its plan for a mass-mailed sampling of its fine white powdery product. America's detergent manufacturers will not be cowed! Maybe they can cross-promote with Playtex gloves.
So, what's the right approach?
I understand Microsoft's concern. I can already hear the "Prepare to die" cracks. And I see Abercrombie's point—women are dressing more conservatively, we're told, the better for scrambling over rubble, so why advertise risqué pre-attack clothing?
But what's the deal with Coke? Does life taste less good now?
A week after the attacks, my 8-year-old daughter signed a memorial book at the Museum of the City of New York. Her inscription: "I am sad for all the people who died, but I am glad I am alive." Crudely stated, perhaps, but one can't argue with the sentiment. Life does taste good. One could argue it tastes better than ever.
Grey's top creative, Steve Novick, recently opined in these pages that advertisers now need to find "an honest, fundamental, emotional link to your brand, and develop it." True, but wasn't it true before Sept. 11? It's been clear for some time that, say, shooting gerbils out of a cannon was fun and attention-getting but no substitute for a more resonant message.
Now, there are certainly reasons to be cautious. Old lines and images can take on new meaning today. I was reminded of this while watching Ghostbusters recently. Explosions and flames shooting from the top of a tall building, debris raining down, a police car destroyed in the chaos—where have I seen this recently?
I also recently stumbled upon an American Airlines print ad showing a plane in flight and the line, "Now there's more room than ever inside." I assume they meant legroom, not unsold seats. And a billboard for Maker's Mark near ground zero carries this unfortunate headline: "A hit from way off Broadway."
But at least some of the newfound concern about offending sensibilities is, well, posturing. Fretting in public—whether you're a performer or a marketer—may go some way toward showing your heart is in the right place, whether it is or not. Grapple visibly with the question of whether mindless action films are appropriate, then put out another mindless action film. See how it works?
What lessons have we actually learned? Advertisers need to be sensitive to audiences' needs and to the general mood and present their value proposition in a way that's compelling.
Hmm. Remind me again what's new about the post-Sept. 11 world?
