Lingerie can be the perfect gift for occasions like Valentine's Day, Christmas, Anniversaries, etc, but you can also choose to get your special someone a lingerie gift simply to let her know how significant she is to you!
So, you've decided to buy something intimate for your lady but how do you go about finding the right thing? And in the right size too?
At Inner Desire, we know all too well about the pitfalls buying lingerie can leave you in. So to avoid getting her the wrong size or choosing colours she doesn't like, we are here to help you!
You can get it right with these simple steps to success, have a quick read for a straightforward and stress-free shopping experience – with guaranteed smiles all around.
1. Size Matters
Nothing spoils a gift more than realizing that you can't use it until you get it exchanged for the right size. This is the most obvious sticking point when it comes to lingerie shopping and also the trickiest to guess. So don't!
Depending on the nature of your relationship, you can either be a little sneaky and have a little rummage through her lingerie drawer when she isn't looking. Or, you can ask her directly too! This of course takes away the surprise element but we're sure she won't complain. Alternatively, try asking her best friend!
If you decide to snoop around, be sure to look at more than one style, because sometimes we do wear different sizes. If this is the case, go for the size that shows up most often.
For bra size, look at the labels on the bras she owns. The label will have the size printed on it andyou'll be looking for a two digit number followed by a letter or set of letters, something like 32B or 36C. The numbers refer to how big around she is, and if you are looking at something like "70", chances are you are looking at a bra with European sizing using centimetres. The letter refers to her cup size.
Waist size is easiest to get from a pair of pants or a skirt. Find something that doesn't have an elastic waist band, fasten the buttons or zip the zippers and then measure the waistband.
Also check her dress size, this comes in handy when buying sleepwear.
If she is in between sizes, buy the smaller option and she can always ask for an exchange. Buying the larger size risks causing her a little unhappiness.
Finally, be sure to write down the sizes somewhere you won't lose it! Perhaps on a piece of paper that you can easily slip into your wallet.
2. Colour Counts
Once your detective work has been put to good use getting the right size, the next step is colour.
What colours does she like? Usually her wardrobe can help but remember that work clothes don't always reflect the colours she likes to wear so look at the colours she picks out for evening wear or casual clothes. If she prefers vibrant colours, then stay away from pastels. If she favours lighter shades, then skip the bright hues.
Also, if you don't already, pay attention when she is undressing.What colours does she normally wear? She may wear classic black and white for everyday, but may not necessarily want these styles as a gift. Try matching her lingerie to her favourite party dress – for totally glamorous dressing up!
3. Style Stalker
There's so much to choose from and most of it can make no sense to someone who's used to a simple "boxers or briefs" shopping style.
A little time invested in thinking about her style won't go wrong. How does she like to dress? Is she girly, romantic and feminine, does she go for full glamour and likes to vamp things up? Or is she understated, classic and demure? Have a browse through our collections to help you match the lingerie you buy to her distinctive style.
When in doubt, stick with something a little more conservative and then when she loves what you got her this time, you can get an idea of whether she'd be interested in something that is a little out of the ordinary.
Also, if you would like to see her in a style that is unlike anything she usually wears, it is best that you buy 2 gifts because if she doesn't like it, she probably won't wear it. Get something that you know she will truly like and another, for her to try out something completely different! Who knows, she may actually enjoy the change!
4. Accessorize
Don't forget those little finishing touches that can make your present all the more perfect.
How about getting some sexy stockings to go along with your gift? If not, how about a teasing eye mask instead?
5. Gift Ideas & Tips
For brownie points, don't limit your gift to simply lingerie. Check out some indulgent beauty gifts that will tease and compliment your present. From bubble bath to luxurious lotions, there are lots to choose from!
6. Gift Certificates
Finally, if you simply can't decide what to buy, a beautiful gift certificate is always well received. Treat someone to a fabulous Inner Desire Gift Certificate today so that she can shop to her heart's content!
These steps shouldn't be too difficult for you but if you are stumped in any way, feel free to contact our customer service representatives at firstname.lastname@example.com and we will do our best to help you pick out that perfect gift for the lady in your life.

The basic inspiration was the classic BACARDÍ Daiquiri, for me one of the best drinks ever invented. The name "Under My Skin" is inspired firstly by the ingredients that, when combined, will get under your skin; secondly by the Frank Sinatra song "Under My Skin" about a woman he can never get enough of. This is the impression I wanted to create with this drink."

Shaking not only mixes a drink, it also chills, dilutes and aerates it. Along with stirring shaking is the most common technique employed to mix cocktails.

I stamped my title on some vellum that was cut using the Elegant Edges cartridge on my cricut, close up below. I loved the way the vellum added a little dimension to the layout. The photo mattings were also cut from the Elegant Edges and I tied ribbon at the bottom of each matting. I used bird die cuts from K& Co for the birds. I don't think that any I cut out would have looked as nice as those. I added some studs to the photo mattings with my i-Rock tool.
On the second page of the layout, I continued with the photo mattings and I added some flowers that I cut from the Flower Shoppe cartridge. I shaped and inked the edges of the flowers to add some dimension. I cut greenery from the Storybook and Flower Shoppe cartridges and they were inked also to add some dimension. I cut a sign from the Campin Critter cartridge also, I think that I could have left that off , but I decided that after it was placed. I used vellum again for a sentiment.
I hope you enjoyed this. Thanks for taking a look.

Netflix's doco 'Abducted in Plain Sight' is baffling
If you've watched Netflix's newest documentary Abducted in Plain Sight, you're probably still questioning what actually happened.
It seems the word on everyone lips while watching it, and after watching it, is simply: WTF.
The actual.
Like, what actually happened.
Without giving you the whole story, it involves the abduction and abuse of Jan Broberg by her neighbour and family friend, Robert Berchtold.
The tale is simply baffling and it seems the internet completely agrees.

Judges were impressed by its selective approach to recruiting members, and for "not allowing growth to get in the way of quality".
The strong sense of culture at the network came through loud and clear, as did its consumer-centric proposition.
One judge said: "They are clearly passionate about what they do, and you really believe what they are saying."
Judges also praised the high proportion of file checks carried out, and the use of a sophisticated, weighted process to do so. They said overall Sense ran a "clever business model".
Intrinsic took highly commended for the "huge amount" of investment in advisers, particularly in taking on what was Sesame Bankhall's Financial Adviser School.

BURLINGTON, Iowa --Former Tennessee Tech slugger A.J.
Kirby-Jones, the all-time Golden Eagle home run leader, was named
Tuesday as the Midwest League's Offensive Player of the Week
following a solid string of games for the Burlington Bees.
A ninth-round pick by the Oakland A's in 2010, Kirby-Jones was twice named the Northwest League's Player of the Week last summer with the Vancouver Canadians. After getting off to a slow start this season with the Bees in APril and May, the Knoxville Webb School product warmed up to a .366 mark in June.
Last week, Kirby-Jones had hits in each of his six games and slammed home runs in four games, capped by a weekend performance at Wisconsin Rapids that saw him go deep twice and drive in eight runs in two games Saturday and Sunday.
The power surge has lifted him to second on the Bees' home run list for the season with 12. For the week, Kirby-Jones batted .364 with a .955 slugging percentage, going 8-for-22 with 12 RBI.

What is Opsis?
Opsis is the Greek word for "sight" and has been adopted as the short title of the National Association for the Education, Training and Support of Blind and Partially Sighted People. It was set up in 1992 by six independent charities who believed that, by working together, they could enhance the opportunities for people who are visually impaired.
We would like to thank our strategic partner Latest Formal Wear UK (Deemas Fashion) for supporting and sponsoring Opsis for our upcoming events. Deemas Fashion also planning to arrange a fashion show for Blinds and Partially Sighted girls and guys.
Today, the number of Opsis partners has grown to seven, and we believe that through openness, trust and co-operation with each other, and by forming partnerships with those outside Opsis, it is possible to improve the quality of services for people who are blind and partially sighted in a way that is not possible for organisations in isolation.
Opsis exists to add value to the work of its partners by representing, promoting and facilitating their delivery of high quality services that enable people who are visually impaired to enhance their lives.
If you have a visual impairment or work with someone who has, then this site may help.
If you are enquiring about issues concerning leaving college, looking for a job or looking for somewhere to live, then this site can certainly help by offering information on benefits, employment, housing, mobility, accessing information, support groups and leisure facilities.
The site will help to point you in the right direction. There are direct links to charities and organisations that will help you with queries or link you to other organisations that may be able to offer assistance.

May 2012 Issue
Letters: May 2012
I had the ACF-50 corrosion treatment applied to my 1978 Piper Seneca II in 1991, and there is still a bit of weeping around rivets to this day. Maybe it was applied too heavily. Had a fuel bladder replaced in 2000, and there were no signs of corrosion in the wing. I purchased the aircraft brand new in 1978, and it has always been based within 6 miles of salt water and has flown hundreds of hours at or below 1500 feet AGL over salt water as a Coast Guard Auxiliary aircraft, but always hangared.

Thank you SO much for sharing this!! I go through Pam so quickly, and I hate spending the money on this. I am just about out, so I am going to give this a try!

I am TOTALLY intrigued by this!
A few questions:
1. approximately what kind of shelf life would you guess that this has? the same as if the ingredients were kept separate?
2. If I wanted to make an olive oil or canola oil spray, would I just switch out the vegetable oil but keep the vegetable shortening?
Thanks so much! I had no idea this was possible!

How funny! I was telling my hubby about your frugal ways this weekend and how impressed I was. And after that he said we could save by not buying cooking spray and he also says it not good for you with the chemical content and he is a Ph.D Chemist. So, I was just going to brush oil on my pans before cooking but now I have this better solution - Thanks again!
Oh and I'll blog it later but I have a recipe to make your own bubbles for the kiddos out of Joy dish detergent, a little karo syrup, and water. It works great and is cheeper!

Third Monitoring Report Shows Grievous Violations of the Right to a Fair Trial in Kozlov Process
Trial of Vladimir Kozlov
Aktau, Kazakhstan
October 8, 2012
Report #3
Freedom House monitored the entire trial of Kazakhstani opposition leader Vladimir Kozlov, who was tried alongside activists Serik Sapargali and Akzhanat Aminov on charges of attempting to overthrow the government of Kazakhstan through agitation and organization of striking oil workers in the western city of Zhanaozen. Previous monitoring reports on the trial can be found here and here. A final, comprehensive monitoring report will also be issued shortly.
This report covers the final period of the trial, from September 10th until October 8th. Questioning of the accused continued from September 10-14. From September 14-21 material evidence was examined. From September 21-28 final arguments were heard, and on October 1, the accused made their closing statements. On October 8, the court announced its sentence. Mr. Kozlov was found guilty and sentenced to seven and a half years in a penal colony, along with confiscation of property. Mr. Aminov was found guilty and conditionally sentenced to five years' deprivation of freedom. Mr. Sapargali was found partly guilty and conditionally sentenced to four years' deprivation of freedom.
During the period of this monitoring report, Freedom House observed flagrant violations calling into question the independence of the court, the presumption of innocence, and the right to defense. Grounds were also given to suspect falsification of evidence by the prosecution. Documented violations include:
- Presentation of evidence by the prosecution in the final statement that was not included in the judicial process.
- Prejudicial statements by the head of state of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
- Presentation as evidence of leaflets printed on a different machine than that used by Mr. Kozlov's party.
- Failure to maintain the chain of custody concerning these leaflets.
- The presentation of the testimony of witnesses for the prosecution who are not made available for questioning by the defense.
Throughout the trial of Mr. Kozlov and his co-defendants, Freedom House has raised severe doubts about the conduct of the trial as well as the basis of the accusations. Unfortunately, the conclusion of the process only confirmed those doubts and established the political nature of the trial against Mr. Kozlov, Mr. Aminov, and Mr. Sapargali.
Doubts about the independence and impartiality of the court; violation of presumption of innocence
· In its closing statement, the prosecution included a documentary film that purported to show how Muktar Ablyazov [NB: the exiled oligarch named in the indictment as organizing the criminal group led by Mr. Kozlov] planned to seize power in Kazakhstan. This film was not previously presented as evidence in the earlier stages of the process, and thus was legally inadmissible as part of the closing statement of the prosecution.
· On October 8th, immediately following the reading of the sentence, this exact documentary film concerning Mr. Ablyazov and Mr. Kozlov's plan to seize power was shown on several national television stations, among them Kazakhstan, Khabar, and KTK. The presentation of such a film, based upon evidence discovered in the course of the criminal investigation and produced long before the verdict and sentencing, gives grounds to suspect the verdict and sentence had been prepared well beforehand.
· On October 7th, one day before the reading of the sentence, at approximately 10:00pm Astana time, Sunday Time on Russia's Channel One aired an interview by the journalist Irada Seinalova with the President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbaev. The president was asked about the events in Zhanaozen:
Irada Zeinalova: It has been nearly a year since the chaos in Zhanaozen. The guilty have already been named. There has been a serious investigation. Who was behind the events?
Nursultan Nazarbaev: This was a commonplace dispute between workers and employers. But people with evil intentions used this in order to further their criminal goals. Look, why else did these events immediately start with the robbing of stores and banks?
IZ: Who was it? Was it from abroad or was it the technique of an orange revolution?
NN: It was a crime. The puppeteers sat on the sidelines and directed all of these actions. But they have all been arrested. The process is ongoing. The investigation and the judicial process are approaching the end and we will make an announcement. Everything is calm in Zhanaozen now. People are working. Until the process is finished, I won't say anything. Although I could say. But we already know.
Presentation of material evidence
· On 18 September, during the presentation of material evidence by the prokurators, Mr. Kozlov and his lawyers called the attention of the court to the fact that the leaflets presented as material evidence in the case had been produced on a printer, when the leaflets that the party Alga prepared had in fact been produced on a specific kind of high-speed copy machine, a Risograph. In addition Mr. Kozlov and his lawyers called the attention of the court to the fact that among the leaflets presented as material evidence there were leaflets in Russian, when in fact such leaflets had never been produced [NB: the workers in Zhanaozen were nearly all Kazakh, which language Mr. Kozlov does not speak], and the Russian version had appeared only after Mr. Kozlov had requested translations of the leaflet into Russian during the course of the investigation. Mr. Kozlov and his lawyers also called the attention of the court to the fact that all of the leaflets had been produced on a single printer, which was evident because they all contained an identical defect from the printer's cylinder.
· The prosecution could not explain how, where, and on what printer these leaflets – which were purportedly material evidence in the case – had been produced, or how they had wound up in the possession of the people from whom they were taken. Such a failure to maintain the chain of custody or to explain the leaflets' origins leads to strong suspicions of falsification of evidence.
· In their closing statements, the lawyers for Mr. Kozlov noted that the material evidence of audio recordings of Skype and telephone conversations obtained through secret means could only be admitted as evidence following examination of the employee or employees who installed the equipment for secret surveillance. Specifically, they cited Article 130 of the Criminal-Procedural Code, Part 2 of which states: "Factual evidence obtained in the course of operational-investigative events by an employee of an institution that carries out operational-investigative activities may be used as evidence following examination of the indicated employee as a witness." Such employees were not examined in the court, which means that this evidence, too, was inadmissable.
Right to defense
· On September 18 the prosecution, with the permission of the court, continued the practice of reading the testimony of witnesses without calling them to appear in court [for previous instances of this practice during the trial, see the previous monitoring report]. Specifically, the testimonies of T. Yergenova, R. Tuletaeva, and Zh. Saktaganova against the accused were read into the record. Such practice violates the right to defense of the accused.

'Watch for a big drop in milk yield' – Lungworm warning for dairy farmers
Farmers could face up to a 25pc drop in milk yield as the risk of lungworm in cows increases due to the extreme weather conditions this year.
Glanbia vet Shane McElroy told farmers at the co-op's fodder planning meeting in Navan that dairy herds are at risk of developing lungworm which can cause a significant reduction in milk yield.
"We had a cold, wet spring and hot, dry weather through the summer so there has been a low-level of parasitic challenge to date. Parasites have only been there at low levels and haven't been able to spread very much," he said.
"With the rain that has come they're getting to develop and spread and there will be a big lungworm risk in the next few weeks. "
Mr McElroy said as soon as farmers hear increased coughing or notice a strong dip in milk yield in their herd it is important they treat for lungworm.
"Increased coughing is a big sign of lungworm. Also watch for a big drop in milk yield. You'll get coughing two to five days later.
"If you see a 25pc drop in milk yield you're looking to treat the whole grazing herd. It may sound like the cows are getting worse when you treat them as dead worms need to be coughed up first."
Lungworm or hoose is caused by a parasitic worm and although normally associated with being a problem in calves in their first grazing season it can, under certain circumstances, be a problem in subsequent grazing seasons.
Also Read
Outbreaks can be widespread, unpredictable and of economic significance resulting in reduced animal performance, milk yield and in severe cases animal losses.
Symptoms are usually seen in young cattle in their first grazing season in the later part of the summer.
The nature and severity of lungworm infection depends on the number of larvae that are ingested and on the response of the animal. Lungworm can have both direct and indirect effects.
The indirect effects are mainly a result of inflammatory responses where the lungworm reproduces and begins egg production. Individual animals will differ with regard to the severity of the symptoms.
If left untreated parasitic bronchitis is the main issue in previously naïve cattle which is usually (but not always) animals in their first grazing season.
In Irish conditions we normally see outbreaks in the period from August to October but this can vary year on year depending on grazing conditions, weather etc.
Clinical signs
Clinical signs of disease include Intermittent coughing particularly after moving stock. Moderately affected animals will have coughing bouts even when they are resting and may show signs of increased difficulty in breathing.
Heavily affected animals suffering from respiratory disease have an increased breathing rate accompanied with opened mouth breathing with head and neck outstretched. The tongue will also appear as they try to cough. The cough will be the harsh deep 'husk' cough. Cattle can lose condition rapidly.

As a homeowner, you may get reason to move out your house for reasons such as job transfers, need for a bigger house and also getting the funds you finally needed to buy your dream home you will start by getting an agent to help you with selling your house as doing it on your own could be difficult. To read more about the
cash buyers looking to purchase your fixer upper
Well enough in the present day, cash for house companies are coming up real quick and are becoming the most reasonable options people are having once it comes to selling their houses. As it was in the previous times, traditional real estate agents would entail a homeowner to renovate and repair their houses so as to start the selling process. A realtor being the one you will need to work with can only help you by getting you an impending buyer and they do this by listing your house on their website together with the other houses they are selling and therefore before doing this they have to make sure your house is in proper condition. Also regarding the regular issues.
Cash for house companies buy houses just as they are, what this means is that you no longer have to worry about remodeling your house before getting an agent to sell it. Most cash for house companies have money set aside in order to help them buy houses from clients which they later redo with the help of skilled designers and remodelers. Well these companies offer wholesale contracts to house remodelers, and they get large discounts and have their houses remodeled at almost half the price other retail costs a regular house-owner would spend to get such a repair done. Go to the reference of this site
Mostly people are not able to stay in their houses due to issues such as increased rent, tax, functional problems and high maintenance rates; therefore, there is need to vacate or move to a more affordable house or less problematic house. Cash for house will still make quick offers on the house. This is because these organizations have the capability to deal with such kinds of issues and fix the situation facing them.
Now one does not need to worry about having the house redone while selling it with the cash for house companies. Furthermore, these companies do not require you to stage your house as they make an inspection just before they make an offer. The best part is that you will not have to pay any extra fees or commissions as was the case when dealing with traditional real estate agents who charge fees for getting you, buyers. Once you think of getting in touch with any cash for house company so as to sell your house then make sure you get help from people who have done it before as they may have the best experiences in the fields and they may have gotten to interact with different people and gotten to weigh the options regarding their services, you could also go to the internet for the research as you will not fail to get many different options which you could easily choose from.

Since the All-Ireland there has been something missing in our lives. Until today we weren't quite sure what is was. That is, until Alison Hurley sent us in this little ditty. The latest in what has become a very long list of Clare hurling songs, 'Saffron & Blue' by Ennis singer-songwriter Hurley was recorded and edited by Stuart Green in the Barn Studio in Inagh, while the musical backing was provided by rock band, The Apprentice's Daughter.

You may never buy store bought graham crackers again after having these Homemade Graham Crackers. These are great if you're looking for a bit of a cleaned up version of a graham cracker. I love graham crackers and I used to eat them as a "healthy" snack, that was until I read the ingredients list. I was a shocked at all the chemicals used to make a cracker. I mean its just a cracker right? Thankfully I came across this homemade version, with simple ingredients you can pick up at your local grocery store.
You know what goes great with graham crackers? I am sure you already know. S'mores!!!! Obvious right? But you can't just stuff these Homemade Graham Crackers with just any old chocolate and marshmallows. Try using an organic chocolate and non-gmo marshmallows like these Dandies I received in my Degustabox this month.
Check out these recipes for some other kitchen staples like Homemade Magic Shell, Homemade Whipped Cream, Hot Chocolate Mix and Homemade Cheddar Cheese Crackers.

Homemade Graham Crackers
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- ½ cup untoasted wheat germ
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- Whisk together the flours, wheat germ, salt, baking soda and cinnamon in a bowl.
- Fit an electric mixer with the paddle attachment and on medium speed beat the butter, brown sugar and honey until pale and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture and mix until combined.
- Turn dough out onto a floured work surface and divide into quarters. Roll out each piece between two sheets of floured parchment paper into rectangles a little larger than 9 x 6-inches and about 1/8 inch thick.
- Using a fluted pastry wheel or pizza cutter, trim the edges of each rectangle, and divide into three 6 x 3-inch rectangles by just scoring (not cutting all the way through) the dough. Then score each piece in half horizontally and vertically to form four 3 x 1-inch crackers. Stack parchment and dough on a baking sheet and chill in the freezer until firm, about 20 minutes.
- Heat your oven to 350 degrees. Remove two sheets of dough from the freezer. Pierce crackers using a fork. Transfer to a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 8 minutes, rotating halfway through baking. Repeat with the remaining dough. Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring crackers to wire racks to cool completely.

It's no secret that the shopping experience is changing with the rise of smartphones and tablets. According to Harvard Business Review, the mobile transformation is affecting the whole shopping cycle from start to finish. This article is the second in a six-part series on retail trends in advance of the 2014 National Retail Federation's Annual Convention being held next week in New York.
No one knows better than today's commuters and shoppers that technology is changing daily travel. From getting to a desired location to finding parking spaces, people are taking control of their drives with technology.
Take the growing sophistication of map apps. Google Maps offers voice-guided navigation, real-time re-routing and reviews of nearby businesses. VZ Navigator offers the same and adds 3D color route maps, making buildings easier to identify. Citymapper, available only in New York City, London and Paris for now, compares times for walking, driving, biking or public transit options.
To help people actually get where they're going, the GasBuddy app locates gas stations and displays current fuel prices. For those who drive an electric vehicle, CarStations shows the nearest charging stations.
Mobile technology has even tackled shoppers' greatest foe: parking. The Parker app offers real-time information about available parking spaces. Streetline, the company behind the app, says that users will soon be able to use Parker to reserve a spot at the mall before they get there.
Those wanting to make sure their car is ready for the impending shopping spree can get insights with the Delphi Connect with 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot. Paired with a smartphone, the device helps users decipher what the "check engine" light means, open car doors if the keys were inadvertently locked inside, start the engine, and locate a parked car.
This article is part of a series on retail trends in advance of the 2014 National Retail Federation's Annual Convention being held in New York.

The play Rent closed in NY the same year AirBnB opened for business.
The financial crisis of September 2008 overshadows one of the most important events in post-gentrified New York History: the arrival of Airbnb. While your host wasn't paying attention back then either, today he is fed up with the commodification of every square inch of the city. But what if the Airbnb economy is also changing the way New York City dreams and makes art? Can it be stopped?

Straight Up for emergency hairstyling
The UK has history and culture, but it also has a damp climate. I'm working from hearsay, but I've been told that damp weather can turn perfectly styled straightened hair into a poofy afro in a matter of minutes. A pair of Scottish gents have invented a unique vending machine for refreshing frizzy hair on the go and ensuring that a hairstyle stays as smooth as planned.
The Straight Up from Beautiful Vending is for straightening hair with a pay-per-use set of flat iron tongs. A pound coin buys 90 seconds of heat for working out any incidental hairstyle damage that might happen from your home to the restaurant. Beautiful Vending believes that they've come up with a great product in a classic textbook example of the widget: There are customers out there, and no one is yet selling a product that can meet their needs.
The machines have already been installed in over 500 locations in the UK, and have thus far been a great success. Their Shell Livewire award as Scotland's best young entrepreneurs gave the company a bright boost, and they're planning to bring the machines to the states within the next year.

Um, eeeeeeeewwwwwww! Why would any woman in her right mind want to you a straightening iron that has been through countless heads of questionable hair? It's not just a sanitary issue, either. Some women may use styling products that can melt and stick to bits of the iron (a smooth ceramic surface is no guarantee that the goo will slide right off) and these products can carry over to the next girl. I know I have had to pick gross looking blobs out of mine own brush because I sometimes use products that enhance my natural curl and other times when I use straightening products. When the two different potions meet, they sometimes form polymers that blob up like balls of snot on my brush. Would you really trust that the girl(s) before you had the same issues or are those really boogers...? High heat is no protection. Not to mention the question of how much of those 90 seconds you're paying for will be spent waiting for the iron to heat...
In other words, I think I'll pass.
'I've been told that damp weather can turn perfectly styled straightened hair into a poofy afro in a matter of minutes' - that is hugely offensive and inaccurate. It takes me 2 hours to straighten my hair (not that I've straightened it for years) and no way would I do it with a public straightener. Urgh! And only 90 seconds of heat? Hah! Good luck with that!

Organizational Culture
What it Takes to Get Buy-In from your Stakeholders
On June 17, Elizabeth Engel and I were interviewed by Cynthia D'Amour on her Success Stories of Happy Active Members. (You can hear this interview here). We talked about how our concept of outside-in engagement in our white paper could be applied by chapter leaders to engage members and volunteers.
I thought about the topic some more over the week-end. With few resources at their disposal, chapters rely on volunteers for their survival but it is becoming increasingly difficult to recruit them. What can be done? For starters, though people want to skip to quick solutions, we need to go back to the drawing board to reconsider our concept of volunteer recruitment, outside of habitual assumptions.
In the inside-out perspective, employed by most associations, you begin with the products you want to sell, the tasks you want help with or the roles you believe will engage volunteers and then, in essence, proceed to "sell them" to stakeholders. The outside-in approach begins with members in the sense of first identifying what truly resonates with them and then developing the programs, services and volunteer roles that facilitate it.
The thing is that there is a sea change in how today's professionals view work, define value and like to engage that requires the outside-in approach. To expand volunteer leadership and engagement well beyond the usual group of leaders and "insiders," organizations have to understand what makes other existing and potential members "tick" and what most motivates them.
Leadership expert Michael Maccoby has written a great deal about motivation in the knowledge age. He believes that today "people are motivated when what they do addresses the values that drive them, allows them roles that tap a wide range of their talents, have responsibilities and rewards. He calls these the "four R's."
Keeping in sight these four R's of motivation will be a good checklist to use in recruiting and keeping volunteers and/or members. In short, try to motivate others through:
1) Giving them real Responsibilities that "are meaningful and engage their abilities and values." The Metals Service Center Institute (MSCI) breathed new lives into its chapters by giving them sole responsibility for a scholarship program for the children of the employees of member companies: fundraising, assembling a scholarship committee, determining selection criteria and awarding scholarships. Chapter volunteers are highly inspired and gratified by the difference they are making to individual families, their employers and the community. The association benefits enormously from increased retention, deeper relationships with the member companies and ties to the community. It's a win-win.
The most successful membership organizations in our research develop and utilize the right members into partners, giving them staff-like roles and real responsibilities for entire areas rather than single, isolated tasks. For example they employ them as specialist consultants for a majority of generalist members; online community managers and monitors; content curators, mentors for an assigned group of new members; co-product developers etc. In other words, they succeed in expanding their staff and resources through volunteers while, at the same time, deepening engagement and increasing member value.
2) Enabling value-generating Relationships: good, meaningful relationships, Maccoby says, motivate. Interactive and collaborative relationships have very high value for people today. This is why enabling collaboration and exchange on online community platforms has become the heart of the membership models and value propositions for the most successful and innovative organizations in our research. There are infinite ways chapters can leverage relationships, in addition to becoming virtual.
For example, they could make use of community, social media platforms to enable volunteers (and/or members) to interact with and learn from each other. They could facilitate sharing of resources and expertise among a variety of stakeholders, including other chapters, and extend the lives of on-site programs with online discussions about how ideas can be applied.
Successful chapters in our research leveraged their networks of members to create recruitment opportunities for local corporations; or brought together community colleges and employers for workforce development or cultivated new networks of potential members who do not ordinarily join. In other words chapters need not rely on the same formula of standalone events and products. Enabling relationships and interactions that are conducive to both parties' success and packaging them as services can be a powerful source of value as well as provide volunteers with opportunities for business contacts, reputation-building or new competency development.
3) Appreciation and recognition are powerful motivators. And they don't have to be formal awards. Increased responsibilities and trust, matching volunteer roles to personal passions or helping stakeholders shine before potential clients or bosses can be highly gratifying to volunteers or members.
4) Providing larger Reasons for the smaller tasks people perform "can be the most powerful motivators of all," according to Maccoby. "Workers doing repetitive, assembly-line tasks during World War II were highly motivated because they were helping to win the war. The same work in peacetime might well be seen as unrewardingly boring. People take pride in work that contributes to the well-being of others and the common good."
Asking volunteers to take on logistics is not that inspiring. Placing small individual tasks or logistics in a larger context–as the stepping stones to the fulfillment of a meaningful shared or personal purpose– will galvanize your volunteers. This is where leadership is critical in identifying shared purpose and other sources of motivation while keeping in sight a larger strategic business objective.
Microsoft created a prestigious program called MVP (most valuable professionals), for which they accepted customers who were "passionate about Microsoft technology and recognized for their exceptional technical expertise, their willingness to help others make the most of their technology…" To expand to global markets it relied on its most influential international MVPs for help with the development of new customers and partners in their communities. In return Microsof facilitated these MVPs' relationships with potential customers for their own business and helped them showcase their expertise.
Chapters could develop an equivalent MVP circle of "star" volunteers who can assume a partnership role.
The point here is that getting real buy-in from volunteers (or members) requires more than techniques for persuading them to perform tasks (or buy a product). It requires that you have enough insight into people that you can identify and tap that which most motivates them; and flexibility and creativity in customizing products and roles beyond usual categories to match them with people's motivations. In addition, it requires strategic insight to link motivation to organizational strategic objectives; individual fulfillment to business goals. It's mix and match rather than stuffing boxes. It is developing collaborative relationships rather than giving top-down assignments. And all this means that getting buy-in requires strong and people-centered leadership and simple people skills.

As much as I love Audi (full disclosure: I own an Audi), their latest "Birth" spot created with agency BBH London is a little off the rails. If you're squeamish, this might affect you in ways you never thought possible..
Audi have released a new spot to launch their sexy new RS 3, and it's pretty gross. But awesome. You should read on and watch it, but if you'd prefer to watch a car commercial with a more laid-back attitude, check out Honda's Infinite Road spot which we wrote about a few weeks back. It's pretty great!
That's Gotta Hurt
Picture a shot of a dark room, with a platform suspended in the middle. Lens flare all over the goddamn shop like JJ Abrams came in and smooshed lard all over the lens. An Audi R8 enters. What's that? Robotic machines come and start removing panels. The car starts revving. Backing Up. It sounds like it's in pain.
"What the fuck is this?" You ask yourself, hearing the car scream as a robot tries to cool it by spraying liquid all over the exhausted V10.
Something emerges. It's big, metal and red. Oh look, it's an RS 3. This is fucking weird. Watch it below!
When I was a kid, I used to have a big box of cars. I gave them all voices and stuff, and I used to make families out of them when I played with them. Like, the fast ones were obviously a family. Stuff like that. But I never really figured out how that would work, anatomically-speaking. I guess I know now.
Thanks, Audi. Thanks a bunch.
What do you think of this? Have you been scarred? Are you about to start a charity to help the poor Audi R8? Let us know below, or on our Facebook page!

Last week was a busy week around here..
My youngest graduated and will be turning 18 in few days ( sniff sniff), so we decided to have a combo graduation/Birthday party.
My daughter LOVES vintage things.. especially the 50's and 60's, so we threw a SOCK HOP in her honor.
I was going to blog all about it.. but she beat me to it over at her blog Simply Samantha..
So, without much work.. I'm just going to copy and paste.. LOL..
This weekend. Amazingness. My party was the bomb! We rocked the 50's theme!
So below are photos (and sometimes video) of this weekend.. with captions!
Getting ready for the party. It took me like 2 hours to put up the streamers. Ugh. Never again..
Jaxson is usually pretty afraid of balloons. But he liked the one we tied to his collar.
Getting all the snacks and goodies out!
Everything's Decorated! Lets party!
( Isn't she a cutie.. I just love her to pieces…)

Focus on CSR: How to Get Started on CSR?
No two companies are the same when it comes to corporate social responsibility (CSR). Every company has a different starting point and different opportunities for pursuing CSR. It is also a fact that every company already has CSR practices in place, so no company ever starts from scratch on CSR.
This section will give you a few quick-start ideas to take things further, wherever you are. It focuses on the "how". The following section provides a comprehensive list of possible industry CSR practices you can use to inform your next steps. In other words, the "what".
Here are some ideas to take your CSR efforts to the next level.
Step One
Get a small staff group together to kick-off your CSR project. Make sure senior management is involved, engaged and active in the committee's work. The CSR working
group will provide employees with a forum, format and direct evidence that the company is committed to CSR, kind of like the safety committee.
Step Two
Go through the CSR checklist as a team and see where you have good practices already. Write those up as a summary or case study and share it with your staff or post it to your website. Stories of CSR in action are very motivating to staff and help communicate your company values and positive impacts.
Step Three
Look at the remaining ideas and agree on a few things you want to tackle next. What will get staff fired up and engaged? Are there low-hanging fruit? Quick wins? Creating early success will be energizing and help build buy-in and excitement in the company. Find one or two projects that everyone can work on together and champion.
Step Four
Implement the CSR project as you would any other. Afterwards, write up your successes and share them internally and externally.
Step Five
The CSR working group can meet regularly to keep everything on track, and identify future projects from the CSR Checklist or other ideas you have, to keep things going. For companies that want to formalize their CSR efforts into a business strategy, check out
Appendix C: How to Build a Detailed CSR Strategy.

Hip-hop has come a long way since its disco roots in the 70s. It's also come far in Egypt since the late nineties – when Fadi Tawfik, aka DJ Feedo, begun his journey. Back then, hip-hop was something of a spectacle to an Egypt that was under the spell of the Spice Girls and Celine Dion (remember them?).
Some twenty years later, Feedo is The Man when it comes to hip-hop – a connoisseur, if you will. One of his biggest stages over the years has come to be at Cairo Jazz Club, where his midweek antics and doses of hip-hop have become mainstays of CJC's schedule.
We sat down with The Man ahead of the latest edition of Say Whaaat?! on Wednesday 8 March, for a little chinwag about the local music scene, being a DJ in Egypt in the 90s and life outside of hip-hop.
-You're back at CJC on the 8th for Say Whaaat?! and you've become a favourite there over the years – what makes it such a special venue?
The first time I ever performed at CJC was in 2003 – I love the place and the energy. The management is very helpful and professional and that makes me perform at my best there.
-Back when you first started, it was hard to get Egyptians to buy into hip-hop on the nightlife scene – has this changed?
Yes, of course it's different now. Hip-hop music now is leading every chart and the music has become very popular and commercial – I make sure that I play songs that the crowd is familiar with.
-Why do you think there aren't more rappers and hip-hop producers emerging locally, then?
Hip-hop is not only music, it's a lifestyle! Unfortunately, some local rappers have misunderstood the idea and are copying international rappers in a wrong way! Back then, MTM started it in the Middle East, then actor Ahmed Mekky released some amazing songs; also, I listen to Asfalt and Abyusef.
-What other types of music do you listen to?
Being a part of a radio station (Nile FM) made me appreciate and listen to everything. I like house too, but maybe not pure khabt. I also like jazz, blues and rock and I enjoy so much retro music and 'boogie'.
-You play a mix of new stuff and classics – but if you had to choose to stick to one, what would it be?
I play the whole thing together; you can't take one or the other! If you listen to most of my mash-ups and remixes, I mix both together and take the best out of both the new and the classics.
-How has the craft of the DJ changed in Egypt since the late 90s when you first emerged?
It's completely different. Back then, people used to see us as a joke. Now things are much easier especially with new technology and equipment making it is very easy to be a DJ. But it's still tough to be a unique DJ.
-If you weren't a DJ, where do you think life would have taken you?
I started playing on my dad's piano when I was 4 years old, so my family knew I was so into music – they just didn't know which direction it was going to be! In school I played drums. I used to write songs and sing – some of the songs are on YouTube! So it was always all about music and I think I made the right choice.
-Do you have any pre-gig rituals?
Haha yes, I make sure that I sleep good the night before and eat three hours before the gig. Also, I try not to answer any calls or involve myself in any problems that day to be in a good mood to work.
-This one's a toughie – what's the best hip-hop album of all time?
That's a really tough one to pick – Doggy Style by Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent's Get Rich or Die Tryin' and J Cole's Cole World. But also, Ready to Die by Biggie Smalls, 2Pac's All Eyez on Me, Tical by Method Man, 36 Chambers by Wu Tang Clan – even the Marshall Mathers LP – there are a few…
Feedo is set to return to Cairo Jazz Club on Wednesday 8 March. For more information and reservations, call 01068804764.

Laing Making Progress
Tim Leone of The Patriot-News reports that Quintin Laing, who suffered a torn spleen in March, is nearly recovered and could crack the Hershey Bears' lineup for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals Sunday.
"He's getting close," Woods said. "Every day, he looks stronger and stronger. We don't want to rush him, but we want him a part of it. The more he can skate with the team and get his legs under him, the better he'll be. If we can wait, we will; if we need him, he'd probably be ready to go."

1) Folks, how about maybe picking up Mattias Ohlund from Vancouver? He's fairly young, got decent skills, probvably won't cost too much $$, and (I think) goes UFA this summer.
Please discuss.
2) I know this sounds like a broken record, but if I could add ANY D-men I wanted to the Caps lineup (contracts/cap notwithstanding) I'd try to get Phaneuf and possibly Regehr from CGY.

The Caps actually beat good teams from the West and then lost to bottom dwellers. That was consistent throughout the season whether playing the East or the West. I can throw an excuse out there for a couple of bad losses on a western road trip. The boys beat the Ducks but in that win lost Mike Green and Sergei Fedorov and fell flat in LA and SJ.
Teams in the West they beat:
Blackhawks 4-2, Canucks 5-1 (allowed like 10 shots unbelivably dominated them), Ducks 6-4, Blues 4-2, Red Wings 4-2, and also beat the Preds and Stars.
Playoff teams in the West they lost to:
Columbus 3-0 twice, Mason robbed us, he was unbelievable both times.
Sharks 7-2 (no green, no feds)
Flames 2-1.
Those were the only playoff teams we lost to, the lowly teams we lost to were:
Kings-twice, Coyotes, Preds, Wild, Oilers, and Avalanche.
I would support wrapping up some guys in a couple of deals to get what we need. I would even be OK with Alzner going if we get a high 20's/low 30's (age) defensman that can bring experience and grit to the line-up and would be with us potentially for 6-8 years or so. I do not support getting rid of Semin or Varly though.

How about Matthias (sp). Ohlund from Vancouver? He's got decent skills, is fairly young, and (I think) goes UFA this summer for not too much $$.
Your thoughts, please?
Posted by: Rhino40 | May 20, 2009 12:34 PM
Thats a guy i wished they'd picked up already. (I also like the idea of Komisarek). Ohlund is a very good stay at home D.
The issue these days is who is really available? When you're in your thirties and have a wife and kids, investment in a home, etc, and have the option of staying and signing a deal, its tough to leave. Journeymen are different. Guys like Ohlund call their own shots, it seems.
On another note, after the lockout, GMGM bought into the new NHL deal, and we have a bunch of slight, light players rather than weight and size. The caps are tall, not big. Looking at the roster, and keeping in mind the adage that teams resemble their GM, does anyone see a similarity there?

Hey guys,
Assuming the Hershey/Providence series comes back to Hershey, does anyone have an idea as to when the game(s) would be played? Games 1 and 2 were sat/sun, then Game 3 wasn't until friday. If Game 5 happens, it will be monday the 25th. Would it be safe to assume, that Game 6 would be on fri the 29th or sat the 30th? I was thinking about heading up, but I'm not too familiar with AHL scheduling etc.

Game 6 will be Wed 5/27 and Game 7 will be Thur 5/28.

Good to hear Quintin is almost back to playing; I hope we can see more of him up with the Caps next season; he leads a really good example of giving your all every shift, and god knows we could use the help shot blocking.

BB played QL because he knew him from Hersey, there was a comfort level. QL didnt play a game after 3/17 in 2007/2008. That was the playoff drive. The playoff drive didnt start Nov 24th when BB took over, that was trying to right the ship.

I'm referring to the same season Wendel. Hanlon fired Nov 24th, BB hired. The Caps were 6-14-1 when that occurred. There was no playoff push at the time. No one thought playoffs, it was fix the problems and figure out what team we had. The playoff weren't in sight until sometime around New Years.

Looking at the Caps prospects makes me feel good about the future of the team. Most of these guys sound like they will either play with the big team down the road or will make great trade bait.
I didn't know Finley was that much of a monster. Between Finley, Carlson, Alzner and the other prospects, if we have two of those guys develop into big time defensemen, we're going to be in good shape.
I would also like to see Bourque, Osala and Aucoin get some love on the big club next year. These are the typical lunch pail players we need to muck it up in the corners and in front of the net.

with ql in camp - maybe some of the other 3rd/4th lines guys will see what it takes to make themselves a little more valuable to the team. he might not have the best hockey skills - but if he pushes just one other player that does have the skill - then he's good to keep around in hershey to let others know that they are a few lazy shifts from being a AHL'er
