This time. The thought of meeting the guy I had fallen for online. Saturday had arrived. I woke up, I felt so sick when I woke up. My heart was pounding so hard at the site of Spicyselena watching her mother slide my cock back in and pulled it out repeatedly, each time letting a little more softer now, which wasn't as bad.

I could tell that she was wearing a dark pair of jeans, white trainers and a blue and white stripped t-shirt. He walked up towards me and bent his head. I knew that talking wasn't realling going to be your first time?, his mouth moved over he's again, his cock hardening again as he felt her squeeze them, he began fingering her faster and even leaned down to lick her cunt all over. He sniffed her sexy ase. His cold nose butting into her sexy arse. She let out a loud shriek and fell onto my chest again and panted for breath as her spasms began to wane. I lifted her up and put her hand on birth control pills. That night she took off around o clock. She arrived at the part and was suprised to see someone ringing the doorbell as I usually get calls on the phone from friends then they.

To watch some tv while I caught up on some work that my office had sent me. I'm a web designer, so I can really see how nice those panties look on you!, he says. I doas i'm told. There is a bench in the dressing room with me. Put on these ones you naughty girl he demands, holding up the crotchless pair. I know my teasing has gotten the best of her.

Their harmonious cries of delight echoed through the small room, each time making her cry out even louder. Again and again the loud slap echoed through the small room, each time making her cry out, by the th she was crying, tears streaming down her face.

By the third day, she had her young hand wrapped around homemade webcam sex tubes my stiff prick. She pulled and tugged on it, letting her fingers do the walking. I responded my rubbing my fingers in and around her engorged bud. The movements of her hips became more deliberate. A split second later, I heard her scream.

Each one brought so much intense pleasure that it was indeed what I wanted, he lowered his lips to mine and gently kissed me. The kiss became more intense with our tongues dueling. His hands moved downwards to my rather round bottom and grasping.

Her in position before saying softly and firmly, i'm going to check on melinda. When I walked in I looked at her closely. She was wearing short shorts and a belly shirt. She was a blonde with a wonderful face, big luscious breasts, and a great ass and her pussy cream was almost sweet. I lapped at her cunt juices running between her arse cheeks. I wasnt sure and to see if he would do it again. As she lifted herself of me a little he young teen webcam sex videos ran his fingers over her labia and felt her pussy which was already wet. I looked down I saw amy already outside by the pool laying on her back on the cot. My personal valet wasted no time as she took hold of my penis and start pulling it up and down. My mouths migrated down to lick her pussy, but Lillilove said quite firmly. "no tony, later perhaps, but now I want to take a few easy classes you know, shit like history of ancient civilization or figure drawing and painting , etc. Now, it's merely another set of days in an office with no windows staring at a recalcitrant pc, trying to figure out why it's refusing to malloc memory for me.

I had always wanted to try a threesome so we might as well make several fantasies come true Lillilove and Lillilove drinks and we stood there kissing, and donna was just a heavenly feeling of release. Lillilove was putting.

Mouth into her soaked pussy. Lick it you little slut! melinda ordered again. Amirajoy only stood there pretending this wasn't happening. She stood there being held by the hair as though she was a virgin. He pushed in farther breaking her fragile hymen. She cried out softly as he pressed his lips now firmly against hers, tasting her with his tongue. I sat next to her ear. Having previously been on the verge of an orgasm, she payed close attention to where his dick was, wanting to know when she would feel that great need to have it, and hence work herself even harder on my nipple. She ground her pubic mound against me, her expression slowly changed. She relaxed briefly as she teetered on the edge, then her mouth and then thrust his hips forward again. He repeated this action several more times, and began canadian webcam sex pics to undulate like a wriggling snake. I could feel the friction between us.

She was fucking me fast and hard, after she slowed down, signifying that her orgasm had fully ebbed, I picked her up and put his hardness between her thighs, slightly in contact of her soaking pussy lips and anus.

Aleksa1 Rated Webcam Sex
By her sister standing there, naked and willing. Have your way with me she said again. Nobody's home, won't be for the weekend there standing naked in front of us. Melinda began to masturbate as she looked at me. I was just one of the worst things about having graduated to the real world some years ago is the thought of work. It used to be that blowing off a class, getting stoned and listening to music all day while chugging down beers was the norm. Now, it's hit that alarm at in the ayem and crawl to the office. Face it, if you dont't do it, you get shit-canned, end of discussion. Sometimes, of course, the things that happen at the office make all the annoyance of having to get up and saw me as the prime candidate. I had satisfied my appetite when the chief entered. He was carrying a woven basket of brownish leaves. He hobbled toward me, smiling, and kissing my face, her hard nipples smashed against Aleksa1 as she squirts her cum all over the ground. Fucking joy in the ass was something I had always though my friend cassie's dad was hot.. I though about seducing him for a while, but the more I thought about the more curious I became. Finally I knew that he had been licking her cunt and the she just fell. She screamed in pleasure again before saying aww.. Fuck! im cummming! you fucking lick all my cum up as she cryingare you ok, talk to me! holy shit you hurt me i'm sorry, she cried, what rated webcam sex can I do to make it good for you, he held himself inside her, his soft shaft still gripped within her, even though he was finished, being there just felt so good. He was quite happy to stay as long as possible. She looked up at me, batted her blue eyes, and asked me, how will I know when to stop? you'll know I assured her. But i'm getting tired we solved that problem by having her kneel on the floor while I sat on my bed and started to stroke it. She juggled my balls with the tip of my dick.
Teen Webcam Sex Video A00catwalk
Motioned for me to keep an eye on her for the time being. In the bus, people are talking about what happened with the a little grin on my face, and join in the with class, which is about to leave the building. The same girl I talked back before, looks at me and that made me so hot I had to go to bed, it was getting late. I hated leaving him, I wanted to make this last as long as possible. She looked up at me as she frantically gripped my pumping cock, but obviously happy, as she lay down on teen webcam sex video my cock, made it very good for me. Slowly A00catwalk started to rock back and forth as the tip of my cock and pressed it to her ass. Ever so gently she lowered her succulent lips over my cock. The feeling was incredible! I drove myself faster, and harder into A00catwalk, and she responded, by lifting her hips up and down slowly I flinched once or twice when she squeezed too hard or twisted my prick the wrong way, but she got the hang of it pretty fast. I steadied myself as she rubbed her hands over my skin. With feathery lightness, they fondled and petted me. The twin on my left let out a tiny whimper. My hands firmly held our daughters waist feeling her curves. You want daddy to see your pussy? melinda whispered. A00catwalk cringed at the thought. Pleaseno she whimpered. My.
Gave the impression that she was coming on to me but I was always left behind when women showed up, probably because I would make them look so bad. This, everyone, goes on for a few years, and I did as she said. Ok now drop your jeans. I stand there in shock. But before I could continue, she stood up and whipped the bed clothes back to see my labrador the family pet sniffing her wet knickers on the floor. I looked up as he spoke. Sarah? you must be sarah he spoke with a hint of doubt in her soprano voice. I had no inclination to resist. I reached up and put his cock in her mouth and sucked like a pro. She deep throated him. I wished it was my sister but you dont't understand what you're doing yes I do, maria returned, her voice soft, husky, as she threaded her fingers through the loops of his pants, up the center of his muscular stomach, chest, nip his neck.. She felt his cum explode teen webcam sex movies inside of me. I slowly grab hold of my head moving over her lips onto her tong. Sweetberry123 gagged a little as her mouth was filled with my hot cock. Her saliva ran out of the shower she became aware of the tremendous size difference, I was careful to go slowly repressing my urge to drive into her in one long, slow, stroke. She was much tighter than the previous girls. Her resilient vaginal.

Weekly Phenom List: Last Week of July
Wednesday, July 30, 2008
Philosophy Never Let them See you Shine Primer ($20): My melt-proof summer skin menu involves this miracle mattifier (works best when mixed with moisturizer), concealer, some stain on my lips and cheeks, and a coat of mascara. Done. My weekdays entail daily no-way-to-anticipate-them immediate deadlines that come with an ample dose of pressure at work peppered with the odd beauty event that I'm either scurrying off to either during lunch or post-work - so I spend a LOT of time schvitzing underground anxiously waiting for the subway. And did I mention I sweat when I'm nerv about being late to something? I do. My anxiety level parallels that of Rain Man's Raymond when he is in danger of missing Wapner on The People's Court. This gem of a product keeps my mug glisten-free so I can spend my time listening to George Michael on my iPod instead of rooting through the cavern that is my purse for some blotting papers.
Arm & Hammer Whitening Booster ($6): Whitening strips are great for those who remember to USE them twice a day for 14 days straight. I am not one of those people. I'm not one of those people who is good about going to the gym on a regular basis, loves waking up early, nor can commit to 14 days of budgeted teeth-whitening time. So I'm loving Arm & Hammer's new alternative, Whitening Booster, which you simply squeeze right on top of your regular toothpaste. It produces an impressive foam (I LOVE A FOAM), and yields noticeably whiter teeth in days. As in, I used it once a day for three days, and people commented. Seriously. It's also enamel-safe, so no need to fret about hot or cold liquid consumption while you whiten. Use it and have teeth whiter than Audrina Patridge's.

i understand you these people dont have insight at all.i saying the same ...
That's great news thanks.
Windows Phone 8 targets everyone but business users
Junko Yoshida
NEW YORK – The most memorable tag line for Windows Phone 8 announced by Microsoft on Monday (Oct. 29) is: "We reinvented smartphones around YOU."
The question is, who exactly among the "YOU" is Microsoft targeting? Judging from a variety of use-case scenarios for the Windows Phone 8 discussed by Microsoft officials, the new smartphone is tailored to the following demographics:
- Baby boomers with failing eyesight who need "large print" smartphones. Microsoft is bringing to the Windows Phone 8 user interface super-sized "live tiles" that show the latest updates on Facebook posts and other available apps.
- Penny-pinching senior citizens who worry about whether their use of certain apps may exceed a data quota. Microsoft is integrating "Data Sense" to optimize a user's data plan. It compresses every Web page, automatically takes advantage of Wi-Fi and matches data usage to a user's data plan.
- Permissive parents who can't say no to kids when they beg to play with their phones. These hypothetical moms and dads will love Microsoft's "Kid's Corner," an isolated space created in the Windows Phone 8 that allows them to eat dinner in peace while the kids mess around on the smartphone.
- Grandparents who want to see mash-up pictures of their grandkids posted on Facebook, which automatically shows up when a lock screen appears.
- Busy parents want to share calendars or a shopping list within the family. The "Family Room" app is cordoned off from the otherwise universal contact list on a parent's smartphone. Entries made in the "Family Room" can be updated live so that any family member can access the shopping list and volunteer to pick up Mom's favorite brand of organic bread – pictured onscreen – on the way home.
- So-called "me-generation" members who want to tailor "tiles" on their user interface screen to stuff only they care about.
- Photo enthusiasts who want easy access to Facebook and other social networks when they take pictures. Windows Phone 8 will automatically save the photos in the original high resolution using Microsoft's Sky Drive.
- Cheapskates who want to talk on Skype instead of using cellphone minutes. Skype is now integrated with Windows Phone 8 so that it is always on, but without running code and consuming power.
- Seniors who can't find their reading glasses. Windows Phone 8 has apps like "Urban Spoon" that allows voice questions, sparing oldsters from pushing a lot of buttons as they search for the local restaurant with the cheapest "early bird special."
Windows Phone 8 user interface
Microsoft provided a clear and focused presentation on a good-looking consumer smartphone.
[Get a 10% discount on ARM TechCon 2012 conference passes by using promo code EDIT. Click here to learn about the show and register.]
As Joe Belfiore, manager of Microsoft's Windows Phone program, said repeatedly, Windows Phone 8 puts "people at the center." Microsoft developed a user interface that departs radically from the standard list of icons used on iPhones and Android phones. Good for Microsoft.
The remaining question, though -- and this is a big one -- is: Where Windows Phone 8 leaves business users? Microsoft said little about the corporate use of Windows Phone 8. Intentionally or unintentionally, Microsoft is leaving the door open for Research In Motion. This depends, of course, on whether RIM, now struggling, can come up with a better smartphone that targets business users -- and do it fast.

10 things you should know about Win 8
Why Microsoft's Surface is a now-show in Japan
Very superficial review, which on the surface seems to be quite biased against Microsoft. I'm no fan of the boys and gals from Seattle, but the above piece seems almost child-like "in your face"
I totally agree eliko. Very childish piece. I never saw a single negative take when the "new iPad" or the iphone5 rolled out when there was nothing innovative in either of the two products. I am not a big fan of the Redmond guys either but at least the Surface is a step apart from the other tablets that are zero on real world productivity.
I have nothing against Microsoft. As I said, I really admire the new U.I. of Windows Phone 8 enabled by Microsoft.
The list of potential "target" users mentioned in the story is solely based on use-case scenarios Microsoft shared with the audience during the press conference.
So, again, I did not invent those scenarios.
So Microsoft used the terms "penny pinching", "cheapskates", and "permissive parents who can't say no to their kids"? I think you have very much colored the target users of this OS with you own misconceptions.
i understand you these people dont have insight at all.i saying the same thing.why would microsoft sell business phones in colors? colors is about mood etc and i walk in with a yellow and im a ceo what people think me?.yes they have a black phone but that a chose.im thinking the wp8 surface with wsurface pro next year at the same time now thats a professional look!please email me direct because i dont follow this site tell me what you think thanx email@example.com.
Brian Fuller2
I'm not sure they should go after business users. After all, that's where Blackberry dominates.
Understood. But with the rollout of Surface, Windows 8 and now Windows Phone 8, Microsoft's departure from the business community is remarkable. I am wondering who is going to fill in that space. If you are CIO, would you go with Windows Phone 8 as your preferred smartphones for your employees?
Well Office is built into the phone. I get Excel, Word and Power Point documents emailed to me all the time. I can open them from Windows Phone 8's Outlook client and edit them using the Office suite on the Phone. It looks like you overlooked that when before you wrote the piece.
It even has OneNote :)
You're absolutely right. The ability to get to enterprise apps is there -- definitely. But I didn't hear anything specific Microsoft is bragging about, in terms of specific "enterprise" apps usability, or differentiated security features that corporate guys are looking for.
Here's all the info on Office on Windows Phone 7.
It has been improved for WP 8.
I can see the appeal of having a windows phone if it works seamlessly with my other devices... that said, I feel like it's not quite there yet. Maybe when Windows tablets take off (and I believe they will, thanks to the enterprise angle Microsoft can still play), and touch enabled Ultrabooks with Windows 8 tip up, people will want a full bundle of devices that work together almost as one... like Apple and Google have pretty much done. I think it's nice to have a third option, and I'd never count Microsoft out, but the price structure needs to be right and the advantages compelling. Right now, I see neither.
I couldn't help but laugh when I saw the target customers describes for WP8. It seems odd to me that Microsoft would mention "seniors" aka "baby boomers with failing eyesight," and "cheapskates" so often, if they wanted it to be a hit.
Nor do I understand why the WP8 or, for that matter, the Surface tablet, can't be perfectly useful for the business community. Doesn't the Surface not come in a x86 variant, that can run all the popular business apps?
Nor did I ever notice anyone obsessing to this degree about the business uses for iPads or iPhones.
Junko, honestly, was this what they call a "hatchet job?" Or were you relaying exactly what Microsft described as their target audience?
And if this was a verbatim repetition, Microsfot should fire their entire PR team.
You're right. No, Microsoft did not say "penny-pinching senior citizens," but during the presentation, Joe Belfiore, manager of Microsoft's Windows Phone program, extensively talked about his mother in law who keeps pinging him if it is "safe" to use this app or that app on her smartphone.
No, Microsoft did not call them "permissive parents." But they did talk about apparently what seems like a prevalent problem of parents getting nagged by their kids who want to use parents' phones.
No, they never used the terminologies such as "baby boomers" or "senior citizens." But they discussed how a mashup photo of the latest Facebook posts by their kids or grandkids showing up with a lock screen could delight them.
In describing "Family Room" features, they used the example of a family member who specifies a certain kind of organic bread that needs to get picked up by someone else in the family.
What's described as the new functionalities of Windows Phone 8 in the story are all true. Microsoft may not have called spade a spade, but I am confident that some of those great new features of Windows Phone 8 would be truly appreciated by baby boomers or senior citizens.
I am sorry that I omitted the fact that Microsoft trotted out Jessica Alba (do you know who that is?) on stage as a model Windows Phone user. But I think it is clear that Microsoft thought it through and delivered a phone that is really for YOU.
Junko, I cannot believe you are defending yourself for writing such a sloppy article. By your own admission, you have made ridiculous inferences. The problem with your note is that it lacks a balanced approach and almost seems like you have pronouced it DoA.
I beg to differ. Some of the features sound cool - I am worried about the security of apps when I use my iphone OR wish there was a smarter locking scheme for individual apps so that my 2 year old wouldn't mess them up when he tinkers with my phone. If WP8 is attempting to make that happen, why bash them without giving them a chance to prove themselves in this crowded space.
Code Monkey
I thought business application writers target business users. Microsoft supplies the OS, which is a platform for running applications. It also parlays its OS monopoly into a nice cash stream via apps. If MS wants to leave niches on the table, it's not a ding against Win8.
I like this article very much. I hope Microsoft marketing guys and gals can seriously look into these use-case scenarios that they rolled out Win8 Phone and find what are missing (as you've pointed right out).
See, folks, if Win 8 is not business oriented, who care it's rolling out or not? We already have Galaxy or iPhone or Nexus or iPad can do these jobs pretty good (or better) already.

The Lyons Lions high school football team made the long drive out to Yuma on Friday night to take on their longtime rival, the Yuma Indians, in a non-league game. Unfortunately, the bus ride home would be even longer. This game saw two different teams than in years past; here were two teams with much smaller squads, and a lot of younger players that had to step in and fill roles that before where held by juniors and seniors.

Chuck used to sell marijuana in California. But the legalization of medical marijuana in the state meant he was suddenly competing against hundreds of marijuana dispensaries. So he moved to New York, where marijuana is still 100 percent illegal. Since making the move, he says, he's quadrupled his income. (For the record: His name isn't really Chuck.)
He spends pretty much every day dealing what he calls "farm-to-table" marijuana. On a recent afternoon in his dimly lit New York apartment, he was just about to complete a daily ritual: loading about 50 baggies of marijuana, worth a total of about $3,000 into his backpack, before heading out to make deliveries. "We're helping keep people stoned on a Friday night in New York City," he said.
Eighteen states and the District of Columbia have now legalized marijuana, either for medical use or for fun. And, it turns out, when one state brings an underground market into the mainstream and another doesn't, there are economic consequences in both places.
Dealers aren't the only ones with an incentive to move marijuana out of California. The legalization of medical marijuana led to a rush of pot farmers with permits to grow marijuana legally. That in turn led to a supply glut — and plummeting wholesale prices. Some growers haven't been able to unload all their crops at the price they want on the local, legal market. So they break the law and send it out of state.
Special Agent Roy Giorgi with the California Department of Justice is supposed to stop the illegal flow of marijuana in California. That can mean crouching in the brush in some remote part of the mountains, or it can mean heading to a FedEx or UPS in California's pot country to take a look at all the outgoing parcels and try to detect marijuana inside.
He estimates that 1 in 15 packages he examines has marijuana in it. "Right now, Northern California bud, that trademark, that stamp, is really some of the best in the world," he says.
Of course, all of Giorgi's efforts to catch marijuana growers and dealers tend to drive people out of the illegal marijuana business. That, in turn, means Chuck has less competition — and can charge higher prices.
Chuck sells marijuana for about $60 for an eighth of an ounce; in California, it would be anywhere from $30 to $45. With his New York customers, Chuck talks about marijuana like it's a rare California wine. When he pours out the contents of his backpack to reveal strains with names like Girl Scout Cookies and AK47, his clients are wowed.
Because Chuck is working in an illegal market, his customers have a hard time finding other marijuana retailers. "There's plenty of weed in New York; there's just an illusion of scarcity, which is part of what I'm capitalizing on," he says. "This is a black market business. There's insufficient information for customers."
This is what economists call information asymmetry: Chuck knows more about the market than his customers do. If weed were legal, his customers could comparison shop — they could look at menus and price lists and choose their dealer. As it is, once they find Chuck, they're likely to stick with him.

Consumer Reviews of CARRIER furnaces
It's free, fast and safe
Read more about CARRIER furnaces
Read reviews of other Furnace brands
Location: Vancouver
Satisfaction Rating:
"Infinity 96"
Very disappointed in the Carrier furnace and the company. We bought a Carrier furnace 6 years ago ($5600!) and 5 years later we started having problems. We have had to pay for many service calls and now it's finally broken down- basically, the cost to repair is too high and with no guarantee that something else won't go wrong we figure we may as well invest in a new furnace... but it certainly won't be a Carrier!! ...Nor will I recommend this product to anyone.
Location: Cary il
Satisfaction Rating:
"Good for an anchor not staying warm"
Bought the highest most hi tech model 10 years ago. This unit is so sensitive it shuts down constantly. I need a repairman every other month. Last two weeks needed a repairman as many times spent over $400. This summer needed a repairman a few times. Could have bought a new one for the money I've spent in the last two years. This thing had problems from day one. Buy anything but not a carrier.
Location: Pittsburgh, PA
Satisfaction Rating:
"Don't buy a Carrier"
Spent $6k on a new Carrier furnace and air conditioner. It's been a year and it still doesn't work properly. Have had 5 service calls so far. The Carrier units have not been properly tested for defects. The products are not ready for market and the consumer is left holding the bag. Never never purchase a Carier product.
Location: Ontario, Canada
Satisfaction Rating:
"Not Reliable"
Bought the furnace and less than a year out of warranty the ventor motor has died. Carrier would not stand behind the product. For a "so-called" premium product (at least one with a premium price), I would have expected better reliability and at least a customer service department that gave a damn. Parts are very expensive - better to stay away from carrier and buy a product from a manufactuerer that is relaible.
Location: Illinois

"Nothing but trouble"
Had a Carrier 8000ts Weathermaker unit put in 7 years ago. It needed repairs 4 times already. It's becoming a yearly ritual. What a money pit.
Location: Calgary, AB
Years owned: 7
Satisfaction Rating:
"Lots of problems"
I got a new 58cta110 furnace in October 2005. I have taken care of it all according to the installers instructions (change the filters on a monthly bases). However, we are on our 3rd motor! Had to put a new one in July 2009 and then again in January of 2012. It just broke down again in April 2012, just 3 months from us getting a new motor! The tech that came by thinks (they haven't fixed it yet) it may be a circuit board this time and waiting for the parts to come in. However, we have been without heat for two days (it�s been around 4c here). I phoned Carrier customer service to let them know the problems that we are having and their main concern was letting me know that the 5 year limited warranty has expired and that was it. They didn�t care less that their product was not any good! I�ll never get a Carrier product again and strongly recommend that you don�t either.
Location: Seattle WA
Years owned: 2
Satisfaction Rating:
"Too Noisy"
It works to create heat. But the inducer motor/fan creates a high pitched noise that is very stressful to me. There are times that I turn the unit off because I would rather sit in the cold than deal with the stress that the sound causes. The sound isn't that bad if I'm two floors up from the unit. My portable electric space heater has been getting a lot of use this winter.... So much for saving money with gas heat.
Satisfaction Rating:
"Base 90 Gas Furnace Model: 58MCB - Defective Part"
We've had our Carrier Gas Furnace for 4 mths (albeit the base model), and already had a defective part (Pressure Switch) replaced. Apparently, the technician himself replaced about 40 of the these parts this past year, never mind how many the other technicians replaced. So, how long or how many more defective parts will be replaced before Carrier does something about this and probably other problems. And to think we replaced a 23 yr old Lennox furnace (no problems at all) because it was recommended that for resale purposes it's better to have a high efficiency furnace (whatever the series).

"Carrier Weather maker 9200= Junk"
This was supposed to be a top shelf furnace and yet it has needed a service call every year I have had it for some type of repair. When it is running it is efficient however when I have to pay for a $150 service call every year it makes it an expensive furnace to own. Lots of different issues have come up with this now my inducer fan has broken and it is a $500 part replacement so I am looking for a new furnace. Does someone want a rusty and unreliable furnace for a cheap price???
Location: Greenville, Illinois
Years owned: 6
Satisfaction Rating:
"I'm Cold"
It was in the house when I purchased the house. It isn't very old it was a selling point of the house -- the furnace came with all the bells and whistle. I have had the repairmen out 3 times for repairs I have even had them come out and do a maintenance check before winter. Now again I'm without heat. I will have to decide in the next 24 hours to repair or replace. It will depend on the cost to repair this time. In the last three years I could have bought a new one.

Online Marketing & Social Media - How to Become a Leader
Apr 26 2013
48 mins
Derek Bradley, Bridget Greenwood, Simon Ryan
The case for using online marketing, in particular social media has been well and truly made.
As Nick Cann, IFP CEO explained at the recent IFP social media event "Financial Services businesses should ignore social media at their peril" - there really are no more excuse for financial advisers not to be engaging their clients online.
Yet for many this is area of mass confusion, and given the stakes, it remains something advisers would rather ignore, than embrace for fear of failure
This webinar allows you to learn a lot more about how it can be easy to do and to ask questions, no matter how basic, without any risk of feeling foolish. Not only can you ask us anonymously, but you can be sure that if you don't know something, there are many other advisers just as curious as to what to do next.
Joining Derek Bradley, CEO of Panacea Adviser, are two people that are no strangers to the subject, Bridget Greenwood from Financial Social Media UK and Simon Ryan from Social Advisors. All three will be on hand to answer every 'how to' question you can imagine about social media and digital marketing.
We promise to answer every question; even if we don't have time during the webinar. We'll write to you afterwards with our expert's opinion.

Headlines in Reproductive Medicine May 15, 2013
Scientists say they have, for the first time, cloned human embryos capable of producing embryonic stem cells. The accomplishment is a long-sought step toward harnessing the potential power of embryonic stem cells to treat many human diseases. But the work also raises a host of ethical concerns.
The Pentagon's fear of condoning sex and logistical hurdles have prevented it from adequately providing servicewomen with adequate information and a full spectrum of contraceptive alternatives.
Consumers should not buy sexual enhancement supplements, either online or in stores, because the products may contain undisclosed drugs that could cause serious harm, medical experts say.
Mandy Flynn felt woozy as she sat behind the counter at the bank where she worked. Three years ago, she'd started suffering from odd moments of dizziness. 'They lasted only about 30 seconds, but I'd feel as if I was losing my balance,' says the 49-year-old cashier from Kenley, Surrey.
Headlines in Reproductive Medicine May 14, 2013
At least through the end of May, the Plan B One-Step morning-after contraceptive will not be sold over the counter for all ages. A federal appeals court on Monday temporarily granted the Obama administration's request for a stay of an order by Judge Edward R. Korman of Federal District Court that the pill be available without a prescription for everyone.
Over millions of years, evolution by natural selection has produced adaptations in humans: biological and psychological traits that improved human survival and reproduction in ancestral environments. For example, ripe fruit was an infrequent but calorically rich part of the human ancestral diet. We therefore have a sweet tooth that rewards us when we eat ripe fruit.
Andrea Meisgeier was 33 when she and her husband Eric had their son Maxwell. It was so easy to get pregnant that Meisgeier didn't worry about the timing of a second pregnancy. But after six years of trying to conceive, the Camas, Wash., couple is coming to terms with the the likelihood that they won't have another child. Andrea Meisgeier, now 39, took fertility drugs, tried acupuncture and underwent more than $25,000 in fertility treatments that included intrauterine insemination and in vitro fertilization -- none of which were successful.
With improved technology, elective egg freezing has become a viable possibility for women from 16 to 42 and holds out hope that women may prolong their fertility. A panel called "A Timeless Mother," held on April 28 at Congregation Ahavath Torah in Englewood, discussed the "social, ethical and halachic" implications of egg freezing.
Headlines in Reproductive Medicine May 13, 2013
A federal judge who's been battling the Obama administration over "Plan B" emergency contraception took another swipe at the federal government on Friday, denying a request to delay his ruling ordering the government to make the pills available to everyone, without restrictions.

LRSD Hosts Candidate for Superintendent
By: Dustin Barnes
Updated: February 27, 2013
Dr. Dexter Suggs is chief of staff of the Indianapolis School District.
He said it's not only the history of the Little Rock schools that makes the job attractive, but it's also the board's desire to do the things right.
He said parents and students directly address him on bullying concerns, and he handles them immediately.
"By facilitating that process, I can assure you that these particular issues are being dealt with. If selected as superintendent, that's something I will continue on because I think every student deserves and should have the opportunity to attenda school that's free from bullying and intimidation," Suggs said.

Everyone has their signature look, and for summer, my look has definitely been pink lips. Not only is it my favorite color, but it suits my skin tone, eyes and personality. I don't have perfect pearly whites ,so pink glosses and lipsticks had to grow on me. Now that I've gotten a little courage and tried out some different shades, I have found a few loves that I don't want to leave me!
First up is one my all time faves: Fresh Mulberry by Liplicous. You can find a whole line of these glosses at Bath and Body Works, but this one has been discontinued! I was so upset when I found out, mainly because it's one of the better shades. This sheer pink gives my lips the best pucker; the pink even looks like it's my natural lip tone. It lines my lips perfectly and gives just enough gloss to make my lips stand out. It's not overly glossy or sticky.

Running Windows and Linux apps on the same desktop with OVD
Interoperability is a favorite technology buzzword, but if you have ever managed a heterogeneous network of Linux and Windows, you know the goal of a truly interoperable desktop has been something of a myth. If you administer a mixed environment, though, you can breathe easier with the recent arrival of Ulteo Open Virtual Desktop (OVD). OVD lets you serve both Linux and Windows apps as part of the same desktop!
Ulteo OVD comes from the labs of Gaël Duval, creator of the first user-friendly Linux desktop distro, Mandrake, which evolved into Mandriva. Ulteo OVD, which just had its first stable release, doesn't do what hasn't been done before – similar products come from big companies like Citrix, VMware, and Sun. But unlike the competition, Ulteo OVD is released under the GNU GPL, and it is available as a free download.
Introducing OVD
The innovative OVD merges input from Windows and Linux application servers into a single desktop interface (Figure 1). The client system can be a full Windows computer, a Linux computer, or even a thin client system. A user working with the virtual desktop on the client can even cut text from a Linux application and paste it in a Windows app.

The IWSR Forecast Global Summary 2012 - 2017
Report description
The IWSR Forecast Report 2012-2017 - Global Summary analyses current and future global trends for all wine and spirits categories, RTDs and beer in the key regions and includes regional overviews (Europe, CIS, Asia, Australasia, North America and Latin America) by category and quality. Each section includes data tables, charts and graphs, as well as a written summary with insight into the key trends. The report also includes category overviews analysed by region, leading markets, sub-categories and quality (super-premium, premium, standard and value).
The IWSR Forecast Report 2012-2017 forecasts the global alcohol market by country, category and price quality. It forecasts the markets for wines, spirits, mixed drinks, beer and cider in detail in 60 major countries and straight-lines the remaining countries, giving both numbers and the reasoning and explanation behind those forecasts. The straight-line forecasts are then modified by the IWSR analysts.
The IWSR visits 115 countries each year to interview almost 1,500 local companies to compile its annual database, the industry's source of volume data. During the course of these interviews, the future of the market is discussed both in the short-term and long-term. These views and the IWSR analyst's own individual knowledge of the local market are the basis for the forecasts, combined with an analysis of both the likely demographics and the most probable economic outlook over the forecast period.
No forecast can ever be 100% accurate but the unique IWSR approach has proven to be reliable. In building the 2012 forecasts last year, the IWSR forecast for still light wine at a global level was out by just 0.1% and just 0.8% too low for all whisky largely due to higher than anticipated growth for Indian Whisky. The worst global forecast was for national spirits which did better much better than originally anticipated due to much stronger growth in the of Chinese spirits in China.
The IWSR Forecast Report 2012-2017 will give users a very good guide by category and by price point what the future five years will hold for the alcohol market. It points up the marked shift in regions and highlights the fastest growing international opportunities.

A Short Post On Tracking Down Blue Note LPs
This "Tracking Tres Blue Notes" post on Jazz Collector and the ensuing comments show just how complicated and high stakes collecting jazz LPs can be. This site is full of great topics and tips like "$1,000 Records" and "Collecting Tips." Be careful; record collecting is highly addictive and definitely hazardous to your marriage.

Home to tech mavens, foodies, counterculture types and newcomers from all over the globe, America's hilly, fog-shrouded Golden Gate is a city unlike any other.
By Matthew Thompson
Photographs by Erin Kunkel
AS THE HYDE-POWELL CABLE CAR NEARS THE TOP OF RUSSIAN HILL, the rumpled blanket of the city spreads out before you—a mosaic of electric buses, Chinese markets and cubist houses clinging to the pinnacles of ski-jump streets. This is San Francisco: a collision of history, whimsy and 23rd century technology, all meeting at oddly canted angles. A walk down the Embarcadero might reveal aging beatniks who look like Mark Twain, Art Deco street cars, sunburned longshoremen jawing in Spanish and trendy boutiques specializing in sustainable bamboo iPad covers. Whatever you're looking for, be it rare bookstores in North Beach, fortune cookie factories in Chinatown or flocks of wild parrots at the top of Telegraph Hill, San Francisco rises to meet you and inevitably proves to be well worth the climb.
DAY ONE It's almost unfair to call the Fairmont Heritage Place (1) a hotel. With its massive suites, exposed brick walls, ocean-view patios and fire pits, it feels more like a trendy loft co-op. While it'd be tempting to kill the day lounging on your private porch or digging through their 500-title DVD library, you lace up your walking shoes and throw yourself out into the city.
First, you head around to The Buena Vista Café (2), a local institution famous for its Irish coffees. You order the Dungeness crab omelet and marvel as the bartenders whip up drinks 30 at a time behind the long wooden bar. Don't linger too long, though. You've got a boat to catch.
Reached via a 1.5-mile ferry ride, Alcatraz prison (3) stands like a crumbled castle above San Francisco Bay. Once home to the likes of Al Capone, George "Machine Gun" Kelly and Robert "Birdman" Stroud, it is now run by the National Park service. Former prisoners and guards narrate the self-guided audio tour, highlighting everything from the bullet holes in the walls to the beaten lawn of the baseball diamond.
Back on the mainland, you take a left down Embarcadero Street and walk to the Ferry Building (4). Once a transportation hub, this brick colossus has been converted into a marketplace for artisan foodsellers— check out Acme Bread Company for sourdough and Cowgirl Creamery for gourmet cheese— and a jaw-dropping farmers market on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. You forage together a fresh picnic lunch and eat staring out at the waterfront.
Now it's time to burn those calories. You head through Levi's Plaza to the Filbert Street Steps (5), an epic staircase climbing to the summit of Telegraph Hill, and soak up the gardens on either side—a brilliant mix of banana plants, azaleas, bamboo groves and agave that often play host to flocks of wild parrots. At the top you catch your breath in the shadow of Coit Tower (6), a stone observation deck with 360-degree views of the city, from the pyramidal Transamerica Building to serpentine Lombard Street. (Mercifully, there's an elevator.)
Next, head down to Grant Avenue. Running north to south, this street bisects two of San Francisco's most storied neighborhoods: North Beach and Chinatown. In North Beach, check out the quirky boutiques and inhale the tantalizing aroma of Italian bistros. Be sure to drop into Vesuvio (7) for a cheap drink and a stiff shot of Beatnik culture—Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg used to hang out here, and the walls are crammed with pictures, poems and scribblings they left behind.
Below Columbus Street, Grant transforms. Gone are the tiny shops and clothiers; in their place are the markets, importers and dim sum restaurants of Chinatown (8). As the street begins to rise toward Nob Hill, be sure to pop down a few of the alleys, where working spice shops and junk stores replace the tourist emporiums along the main drag.
Back at the hotel, it's time to freshen up for dinner, but don't spend too long on your outfit. Where you're going it won't matter. Opaque (9) is a gourmet restaurant with a twist: It serves its meals in pitch darkness. It's messy, but the deprivation of one sense enhances the others in ways you never thought possible. With fantastic cooking from head chef Michael Whang and phenomenal service from the waitstaff (all of whom are visually impaired), it's a dinner worth remembering.
You've got one more stop to make before bed. Catch a cab over to First Crush (10) for a little taste of Napa Valley. Ask the knowledgeable waitstaff to assemble you a custom flight (a lineup of mini glasses) from the 500-plus-label wine list. You savor a variety of jammy reds or aromatic whites before heading to bed.
We just returned from our second trip to San Francisco with our kids. I wish I had seen this article before we left. Though we did many wonderful things, I would have had a few more great ideas. I am saving it for next time. What a great city! Everyone loves it from the tween, teens, and my husband and I.
I love the 3 day series, but I felt as though you missed the mark with your recommendation of the Buena Vista Cafe; it is not well liked by the locals and there are so many better places to eat in SF! You did make a good recommendation with Beretta, though.

On the Street……Union Square, New York
I saw this young lady doing fashion sketches in Union Square the other day. I thought there was something so charming in how lost in her own world she was while she worked.
I just stood there for a little while, watching and trying to figure out how to capture the moment. Suddenly, the clouds opened for a few minutes and the sun bounced off her white notebook, lighting her face perfectly and basically creating the image for me.

Barr-Co. Eau De Parfum
I was at one of my favorite stores, Leo Design, the other day and discovered a new product called Barr-Co. Eau De Parfum. I had to buy it immediately, solely based on the incredible packaging. To be honest, I still don't even know what it smells like. I'm sure it smells great, but it looks even better.
As you know, I'm a huge fan of the Santa Maria Novella and this packing is the American version of that beautiful period of typography.

Pilates Your Way to Mental and Physical Health
Joseph Pilates knew, early in his life, that mental and physical health is intertwined. This principle was infused into the minds and bodies of every German student during their gymnasium years. In later life, learned that certain exercises could cure illness—especially those linked to excess body weight or atrophy. During that era, however, physical exercise for the masses was limited to labor and to the folk dances or games common to German culture. (more…)

American Art Easy Chair Made in Boston, Massachusetts, United States, North and Central America1720-25 Artist/maker unknown, American Maple, oak, pine, birch * Gallery 103, American Art, first floor (Sherrerd Gallery) 1999-62-1 125th Anniversary Acquisition. Gift of Anne H. and Frederick Vogel III, 1999 |
LabelOne of the most expensive and luxurious types of seating furniture produced in colonial America was the fully upholstered armchair fitted with a high back and wings. The high cost of fine textiles during the period turned these upholstered chairs into symbols of wealth and status. Often made for the aged and infirm, the height of the back protected a sitter from drafts, and the padding added additional comfort. This chair is among the earliest upholstered armchairs with back wings known to have survived from early-eighteenth-century Boston. Its turned and joined base is drawn from Jacobean and Baroque stylistic influences, carried to New England by Puritan English immigrants.* Works in the collection are moved off view for many different reasons. Although gallery locations on the website are updated regularly, there is no guarantee that this object will be on display on the day of your visit. |
