There are many strategies to build a healthy employment brand: promoting jobs with social media such as your Facebook page; LinkedIn ad impressions; hiring events; recruitment videos of your CEO, and so on. Celebrities have not really been part of employment branding strategies. That changed with Google as is showcased in the new Vince Vaughn movie The Internship. We may be seeing another strategy developing that is out of box and a breath of fresh air. keep reading…

Celebrity Factor in Hiring: New Trend or Gimmick?
A Win-Win Way to Recruit in Silicon Valley
Putting candidates on the spot with weird questions that have no real answer has been a hallmark of Silicon Valley recruiting for years.
Google made Glassdoor's list of oddball questions with this one: "How many cows are in Canada? Salesforce made the list, asking, "If you could be anyone else, who would it be?"
Now, though, Rocket Fuel has kicked it up a notch, with a recruiting billboard along heavily traveled Rt. 101, the Valley's main artery. It lists the company's Internet address with an X. To get to page X, you need to solve this puzzle:
X=The largest 15 digit perfect square palindrome. keep reading…
Odds are, you read the title and just said, "not me!" So we're left with the question, "Is it worth your time to build an employment brand?" Absolutely.
I get it. There aren't enough hours in the day, and this isn't exactly a "today's to-do list" type of endeavor. But building an employer brand is only as complicated and time consuming as you make it. It will also be as expensive as you make it, but it will be worth more than its weight in work.
You will get more out of a properly constructed employer brand than you put into it. And if you believe that time is money, then take note. In a survey of more than 4,700 talent acquisition decision makers, a reported 50 percent savings in cost per hire is associated with a strong employer brand.
I work with small- to medium-sized businesses every day, and many of them don't have the time, resources, or knowledge base that the big guys do to recruit. That's where employer brand shines. According to research firm Universum, two of the top three channels that will be the most used for employer brand promotion are the website (92 percent) and social media (80 percent). Most of us have those things and in a smaller firm you often have far more access to the control of those things than you would in a Fortune 500.
Here's what to do: keep reading…
Who is the best recruiter in the world? Would you believe it's Joshua Brady, a 26-year-old Virginia man, who lives with his mom, grandmother, and young brother, and used to play a whole lot of EverQuest until he got caught stealing virtual money.
No way, you say. Yeah, well, before you shoot that down, hear this. Brady, posing as a CIA operative, recruited not one but two ordinary, otherwise law-abiding folks to rob banks.
Brady, or Theo as he identified himself, never met the two 20-somethings. All his recruiting was done over the phone, yet he managed to get the man and woman to rob, or attempt to rob, several banks, even convincing friends and relatives of the two that this was indeed all in the interests of national security.
They all got caught, though it looks like everyone except Brady is getting off, and he'll probably only get probation.
Granted, the robberies were all botched. But you know how hard it is to find skilled talent these days. Read the entire, amazing story here on Businessweek. keep reading…
We often read about a variety of supposedly recruiting-related topics which are designed to have in-house (either full-time or contract) recruiters "do better." We typically work on 15-25 requisitions at a time, putting in 45-60 hours of work/week for immediate hires. Consequently, if it doesn't directly lead to helping us "quickly and affordably put more/better quality butts in chairs," these topics are wastes of our time.
A number of these suggested topics/tasks are useful (if not vital), and others aren't. However, when we recruiters aren't "drinking from a firehouse," we're wondering how soon they'll lay us off, so in neither case can we work on these useful tasks. It would be valuable to have a company say to us:
We're slowing down a bit now, so we'll have you work on these other important tasks you haven't had time to do up to now to keep you working for awhile.
Many companies are unable/unwilling to do this, and would rather lose our accumulated knowledge and practice and start all over again in the future with some largely/wholly new crew.
Anyway, back to those favorite wastes of time we're supposed to do in the negative-5 to negative-20 hours of free time we have during the week: keep reading…
Advanced Items for Your Recruiting Agenda — What Should Google Do Next?
During the newly reinvigorated and exciting ERE conference, two attendees posed related but powerful questions to me. The first was "What advanced topics should be on the agenda of recruiting leaders at elite firms?" Or as another put it "What should Google be planning to do next in recruiting?"
At least to me, future agenda items are an important topic. Because after visiting well over 100 firms, I have found a dramatic difference between the agenda items that are found on 95% of the firms (cost per hire, ATS issues, req loads, etc.) and the truly advanced subjects that only elite recruiting firms like Google, DaVita, Sodexo, etc. would even attempt to tackle.
So if you have the responsibility for setting agendas or recruiting goals, here is my list of truly advanced recruiting topics that elite leaders would find compelling but that most others would simply find to be out of their reach. If you want to be among the elite, you should select a handful for implementation. However, even if you are currently overwhelmed by your current agenda, you might still find them to be interesting reading.

You can have a life-long career, not just a spring-break job, at a retail store.
That's the message the retail industry wants to get through as part of a new campaign it's launching.
The centerpiece of the campaign is a new website at the "thisisretail.org" address, a highly visual page meant to show that the industry is dynamic and exciting; a field, for example, that's for you if you're an artist, a designer, or a marketer.
The National Retail Federation will be gathering stories of people who've had good careers in the industry, and trying to spread them on social media sites. It'll also advertise in print, on the radio, and online to play up retail careers.
Avoid the 3 Biggest Employer Branding Pitfalls
As major brands like Goldman Sachs and Zynga have stumbled into PR crises, I thought it might be useful to help your company avoid the most common employer branding mistakes.
Three suggestions: keep reading…
Jody Ordioni wrote a prescient view about the ROI of social recruiting which posted Monday morning. Monday night I discovered first hand just how prescient, at a recruiting roundtable that marked the opening of the ERE Recruiting Conference & Expo.
I moderated two separate discussions of social media issues in 90 minutes. ROI concerns were uppermost in the minds of the recruiting leaders who joined our conversation. (More than 25 different topics were available at roundtables set aside in the ballroom of the Marriott here in San Diego where the conference is being held.)
It wasn't surprising that these leaders who hailed from firms both very large and more modest size struggle with proving the value of social media as a source of hire. LinkedIn, I should point out, was an exception. Most of the 20 or so recruiters at the roundtable, and several others I spoke with later at the evening receptions, were enthusiastic users of LinkedIn Recruiter for sourcing. Most, though, admitted that getting their senior corporate managers and leaders to be active in posting and commenting on LinkedIn Groups is a struggle.
What was more of a surprise, and what makes Jody's article so spot on, is that I heard emerging among recruiters a recognition that social media is a marketing and promotional tool. The effectiveness of sites like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, even Pinterest is probably not in the number of hires or even applicants a company can trace directly to one of the social media sites. Instead, as recruiting consultants Gerry Crispin and Mark Mehler reported last year, social media is a channel of influence. keep reading…

Avoid the Yugo Trap and Identify Your Culture
Remember the Yugo? Yugos were cars built in the old Yugoslavia, in the 1980s. They were sold solely based on their low price. More than 100,000 cars were sold in an eight-year span, but their poor quality and service resulted in zero buyer retention.
When it comes to hiring talent, most companies place too much emphasis on compensation competitiveness and not enough on their cultural brand. They may have flashy careers websites and other candidate attraction materials, but these are generic and not reflective of the company's unique culture.
In this article I will give you tips on how to make your company more competitive by taking the vital first step of identifying your culture. Only after this step will you be able to successfully attract candidates who will fit your values and be successful in their roles. Without it, you will be stuck in the Yugo Trap, continuing to hire mismatched candidates leading to poor retention. keep reading…
Many search engine marketing experts today agree that videos and images drive more traffic in search engines than simple text-related results. In fact, a study done by Socialbakers, a leader in social media marketing and statistics, showed that as of December 2012, image-related posts led Facebook interaction by a whopping 89 percent. In 2012, according to Reuters, YouTube had an average number of four billion views per day.
With a multitude of free mobile image and video posting apps that are available for smartphones today, the ability to reach the public through multimedia has grown significantly, and today many companies take advantage of these major marketing channels. So what does this information mean for recruiters? keep reading…

Social Recruiting: Marketing's Secret Weapon
It's not often talked about, but your company has a secret weapon when it comes to social media marketing: you.
HR, though not traditionally considered a department positioned to drive external business, is, whether it's intentional or not, finding a new purpose on social networks like Facebook. Suddenly, the department best known for finding and managing relationships with internal people (employees) has the power to start finding and managing relationships with external people (customers) as well.
In the world of social recruiting, HR and marketing were made for each other. A great social recruiting strategy can help strengthen your employer brand, because recruiting itself is an inherently social activity that targets the kind of people who believe in your company, its culture, or its products and services enough to want to work for it.
And while your marketing department may already have a great handle on using Facebook and other social media for business, it can still benefit from allowing your team to join forces and begin social recruiting on the company's Facebook page. Here are three ways that you provide value for your marketing team with social recruiting while helping your team bring in new candidates.

You want to talk office culture? Having fun at work?
Go ahead and try to sell that system admin you're courting with the foosball game in the lunchroom, and free pizza Fridays. Really?
Over yonder there in San Antonio, where salsa is almost religion and Rackspace is headquartered, they take their fun seriously. (Add that oxymoron to your list.) The Rackspace folks, who inhabit an abandoned shopping mall so big it's huge (this is Texas after all), have posted a Google Street View of their workplace. It's almost 28 acres, making it bigger than some neighborhoods.
Still selling that foosball thing? Well, grit your teeth, because one of the coolest features of what might be the world's coolest workplace (not counting the ISS) is the slide between the first and second stories of the place. Which, of course, all but demands slide contests. Which, of course, Rackspace happily accommodated. Strike that. Sub in "encouraged" and made part of the whole branding thing. keep reading…
5 Ways to Get the Most From Your EVP
Like many large-scale organizational initiatives, employer branding was quickly placed on the back burner when the recession hit. This was unfortunate, particularly given the countless benefits and outcomes associated with strong employer brands, such as less turnover, improved engagement, higher offer acceptance rates, and reduced recruitment costs.
Thus, one of the most exciting things to emerge in HR over the past few years is the renewed focus on employer branding. Lately, I've enjoyed a number of helpful articles and interesting perspectives shared on ERE, from Jody Ordioni's persuasive snapshot of the benefits associated with attractive employer brands (4 Things to Make Sure Your Boss Knows About Employer Branding) to Claes Peyron's step-by-step approach to employer branding (9 Steps to a Successful Employer Branding Strategy). Both pieces emphasize the need to look at an employer brand as far more than a tagline and see it for what it truly is — a research-based effort that requires strategy, planning, and thoughtful execution.
But how, exactly, do you arrive at a point where your employer brand is more than a tagline and pretty pictures? Simply put, you need to start by properly investing in the employer value proposition development process.
After all, EVP is where it all begins. It's your key to ensuring authenticity, and it's the foundation for everything that comes after you've clearly articulated who you are as an organization and what you offer as an employer through deliberate and methodical research. If you get this piece right, then you'll be poised for success in terms of brand strategy, creative development, and internal and external communications. Miss the boat on your EVP and you'll find yourself floating aimlessly without the direction needed to solve complex recruiting and retention challenges.
Given this, along with a desire to follow the framework Ordioni and Peyron have used to share their thoughts on employer branding, here are five ways to get the most out of your EVP. keep reading…
In a recent study, only 14% of customer tweets sent to a brand received a response. That is like not picking up the phone when a customer calls, or worse, hanging up on them.
Brands everywhere are missing an opportunity to use the power of social in the way it was intended. This reality is underscored by another study that showed 50% of people would no longer consider buying a brand that didn't respond to their feedback on social media. However, in a study published in 2011, 83% of people who did get a response from a brand after a complaint said they loved that the company responded.
What a missed opportunity. If you simply respond, you are likely to get a brand advocate. Not responding will cost you customers.
Knowing how to respond to a complaint is a challenge that most brands are not even addressing. They are using social media as they use all other media: as a megaphone, or as I referenced recently, one-to-many marketing. This is challenging to brands because they are very comfortable in one-to-many land. They understand it and know how to do it and know what result to expect. Except with social media, the audience has a megaphone too. In fact, each member of the audience (or the "many") has a megaphone and when used, it can scare the daylights out of a brand.
It is very easy to come back from a stumble because the premise of social media is to have a dialogue. And the challenge with this is that the thought of having a dialogue with a brand is awkward. You tend to feel like you are talking to a bar of soap, and that's weird. But this isn't the case with an employer brand, because an employer brand should be about the people. Employer brands are all about the people who develop, make, design, and package a bar of soap. It should feel more personal and human. This is where employer brand has a big leg up on consumer brands in the social sphere. Yet, in many cases, employers are not taking advantage of this at all.
Today, employers are far too frequently using social media as another avenue to post jobs and perpetuate the post-and-pray mentality. keep reading…
Your Company's Employer Brand Could Be the Victim of an Identity Thief
In the comedy movie "Identity Thief," mild-mannered businessman Sandy Patterson (played by Jason Bateman) travels from Denver to Miami to confront the deceptively harmless-looking woman (played by Melissa McCarthy) who has been living it up after stealing Sandy's identity. It's a funny movie and in its first weekend it grossed over $34 million dollars at the box office.
However, in real life identity theft is no laughing matter. Ask anyone who has had to put their lives and their credit scores back together after it has happened. Companies can be the victim of identity thieves, too. Examples of the detrimental effects of "brandjacking" include cancer patients duped by fake Avastin, construction workers jeopardized by counterfeit equipment and safety products, and in general, the World Health Organization says online sale of counterfeit medicine is a public health risk that could result in deaths due to hazardous chemicals and improper handling of drugs.
Lately with the great increase of jobseekers using search engine aggregators and search engine marketing to search for jobs to advance their careers, many companies' employer brands are now also the victims of identity thieves. keep reading…

The public gets most of its information on global climate change and other environmental and natural resources issues from the mass media. But what if the mass media gets it wrong? The challenges of accurately reporting on environmental issues increases in areas marked not only by intense controversy but also by frequently complex and sometimes arcane science. A new ELI book — Reporting on Climate Change: Understanding the Science — is the third in a series aimed at providing print and broadcast reporters and editors a practical and workable understanding of the anthropogenic and natural forces behind climate change.
On October 16, 2003 the principal authors, Bud Ward, Joe Davis and Debbie Cohen explained the rationale behind their approach and provided useful insights for the media — and also their audiences — to come to grips with the substantial body of scientific literature on the global climate change issue. In addition, the authors described a new and major series of scientist's and journalist's workshops aimed at improving communications to the public on complex scientific issues such as global climate change and marine sciences.

Strides Made in Preventing Cancer, But Challenges Remain: Report
By Serena Gordon
HealthDay Reporter
FRIDAY, Jan. 18 (HealthDay News) -- The cervical cancer vaccine has turned into one of the biggest success stories in the field.
Although almost a half-million women develop cervical cancer annually, health experts predict that number is likely to drop dramatically in the coming years because of two vaccines that can prevent many cases of the disease.
It wasn't until the 1980s that researchers confirmed that most cases of cervical cancer were caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). The most common sexually transmitted virus, HPV has more than 40 different strains that can affect the genital area, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Most people who are infected with HPV never know they've been infected.
"After the agent that causes cervical cancer was found to be HPV, the idea for a vaccine was obvious to many," said Dr. Alfred Saah, director of vaccines clinical research for Merck and Co., in Whitehouse Station, N.J. "The question then became which part of the virus was related to immunity and would be the best part of the virus to make a vaccine."
Saah said that work began in earnest in the early 1990s on cloning the relevant parts of the virus strains that would be needed for an effective vaccine. To prevent cervical cancer, the vaccine would need to teach the immune system to recognize the human papillomavirus cells so that it would respond by destroying those cells.
"The vaccine stimulates the body's immune system in several ways so that when the host is exposed to natural HPV, the immune system is ahead of the virus and neutralizes the virus before infection and disease can occur," Saah explained.
Once a potential vaccine was created, tests in animals showed it worked extremely well. Then, the vaccine had to pass phase 1 clinical trials in humans, which had to demonstrate that the vaccine causes the body's immune system to respond against the virus. Next up were phase 2 trials, which helped determine the lowest dose necessary to create an immune response.
Two large phase 3 trials followed, which Saah said together involved nearly 20,000 people. Their purpose was to assess both safety and efficacy.
Based on the positive results of these trials, the vaccine, which was developed by Merck and is now named Gardasil, was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in June 2006. Since that time, another HPV vaccine -- Cervarix, made by GlaxoSmithKline -- also has been approved to prevent cervical cancer.
"Gardasil was the first HPV vaccine specifically designed to prevent cervical cancer," Saah said. "It [targets] four HPV types: HPV 6 and 11, which cause 90 percent of genital warts, and HPV types 16 and 18, which cause 70 percent of cervical cancers." In addition to cervical cancer, HPV has also been linked to cancers of the anus, penis, vagina and vulva, and to some cancers of the throat, according to Saah.

Father's Day
Eric, Dad and I went to Castlewood for a quick ride on Father's Day. The ride started of dry, but some rain storms come through and made things very muddy. After getting a good thick coating of mud on everything we found a swollen creek. Guess what? My M2 and Eric's Pisgah both float! I don't remember if Dad's Trek 970 did. Good info to have, I guess. I also discovered that it is very difficult to ride a bike when the handlebars are underwater. I'll be overhauling the M2 soon, or will I be finishing the single speed instead???

Firms invited to join new legal franchise at £67k p.a
23 November 2012
Rate it
A new law firm franchise, Local Law, has been launched in an attempt to get high street lawyers in front of a wider audience. However it seems to come at whopping price.
High street firms are invited to pay Local Law £66,900 plus VAT per year. For this they get their branding in local budget grocery stores and, according to Local Law, the following range of tempting benefits:
Why is this man in black tie? And why is he shouting down a copy of
he Australian?
This optimistic fee is, according to
the Lawyer
, made up of an annual subscription of £7,500 and a monthly marketing fee of £4,950. Marketing and PR are outsourced to a separate consultancy, Xpress Outsourcing.
Local Law is aiming to sign up 50 firms, so that would be £3.3 million per year. Xpress said that Local Law planned to spend around £1m on advertising and marketing in its first year, which should certainly cover a lot of flyers and newsletters, but seems to leave rather a lot of profit for Local Law.
Are you local?
So RollOnFriday is pleased to announce the launch of its own service: for £4,900 a month we will put some posters up and send out some emails to newspapers.

Classy outfit. I make that roughly £7,000 per typo in a single advert (give or take a grocer's apostrophe uplift, and with inconsistent capitalisation thrown in for free). If Anyone refuse's They are:Clearly mad.

Well, it is arguable the misuse of apostrophes could be attributed to a misguided attempt to properly indicate contractions, eg "Ad's" for advertisments, "App's" for applications.
Can't see any excuse for "Taxi's" and "Clinic's" though...

Their website (or there website, to keep with the theme) isn't exactly slick:
At least Quality Solicitors have strong branding strategy. This just looks cheap.

They can't even use the apostrophe - they've used the back tick character instead. Avoid. At All Cost`s.

Even with contractions lawyers do not tend to put apostrophes e.g. SPCs ( supplementary protection certificates). You can often tell how well educated people are by apostrophes alone.
So would you pay someone who cannot write English to market for you when clients in part buy our ability to write contracts which convey the correct meaning?
Perhaps we can sell them a proof reading service provided by well educated law students for £70k per year.

Disagree. Whilst it may not be best practice for the infinitive to have been split in that way, the proposed phrase "a misguided attempt properly to indicate contractions" makes one sound a little too much like Yoda.
Grammatical imperatives are all well and good, but when the end result is nonsensical and detracts from the message, surely it's time to move on?

25 May 2013
Rates on commercial insurance renewals at the end of the financial year can be best described as "patchy", brokers say.
Despite insurers' best efforts to talk the market up, brokers told insuranceNEWS.com.au that on the whole, rate rises of any significance have failed to eventuate.
"Patchy is the best word; it's not been consistent," JLT Australia and New Zealand CEO Leo Demer said. "Some businesses with lousy claims history got good renewals and others got hit pretty hard."
Bob Mann, Aon's Head of Broking and Chief Broking Officer, Pacific, describes risk selection by insurers as "discerning" and the current market as "tempered".
"The rate increases insurers would like to get they just can't get," he said.
He says there is little difference between SME, corporate and global business, with good risks attracting flat to single-digit increases across all sectors.
"Some companies are trying to increase rates and other companies are actively chasing business," broker Steve Hamill, the CEO of Brisbane-based Comsure, told insuranceNEWS.com.au.
Insurance House Group director and IBNA Chairman Gary Gribbin says rates "are all over the shop; it is impossible to run a line through it".
Some differences have been noted between property and liability classes, with the CEO of Sydney-based broker IC Frith & Associates, Simon Cook, saying there is "still a bit of softening around the liability classes", and Mr Gribbin depicting the liability market as "as soft as can be".
Mark O'Reilly, a director of Melbourne broker Austbrokers Countrywide, says professional indemnity rates are "incredibly soft", while Aon's Bob Mann says the market for directors' and officers' cover remains "competitive", with continuing appetite from an increased number of insurers.
A common theme among brokers has been the disparity in pricing between new business and renewals, with new business typically benefitting from premium cuts while renewals have been either flat or attracting small, single-digit rises.
"We're not seeing the increases insurers have been talking about," said Scott Hastings, Principal at Austbrokers Premier in Brisbane.
"If an insurer holds the risk they're looking for a slight increase. If not, they're quite keen to quote and provide competitive terms."
Comsure's Steve Hamill said his team would typically see one set of renewal rates from one insurer "with 10%, 12%, 15% increases and then another insurer trying to underwrite and get business".
"It is a bit like the two-speed economy in that there is a price for renewals and a price for new business," Mr Gribbin said. "Companies are competing for new business, but when renewing they are trying to get a rate hike.
"The rate differential, all other things being equal, is huge – say $8000 for a new client but $10,000-$11,000 for a renewal."

Product 537/1029
Razor Steele can't believe it when he arrives home and finds a bronzed acrolith on his doorstep. Once he gets it in his house, he can't get the statue off his mind.
When its owner shows up, he can't get her off his mind. What was it about Bronlyn, the woman, and Bronlyth, the statue that has his heart and mind so intrigued?
Razor awoke to the doorbell ringing and someone knocking on the door. He groaned, glanced at the clock on the nightstand, rolled over, and pulled the pillow over his head hoping whoever it was would go away. No such luck. The incessant peal continued.
"Some vacation," he moaned, jumping up and running to the door. If it was Bob he was going to strangle him for getting him up so early. The first time in months he could sleep in, and here he was getting company. He yanked the door open just as the knocker sounded again.
"What the hell do you want?" he snapped, and then closed his mouth abruptly. Standing before him was the most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes on. This woman was a natural beauty with no makeup, no designer clothes, and no expensive hairdo.
"I'm sorry," she gasped. "I didn't mean to wake you."
Her large hazel eyes slid down his chest to stop at his pajamas riding low on his hips and snap back to his face.
"Can I help you?" He asked, not at all disturbed by the fact that he was wearing his favorite cartoon characters pajama bottoms.

CD/LP/Track Review
David Gibson: End Of The Tunnel (2011)
Words like "funky" and "groovy" are often bandied about by musicians, reviewers and fans alike. Once upon a time they represented the heights of popular musical achievement; today, they're a little anachronistic, their use more ironic than laudatory. Then something comes along that epitomizes both terms, and reclaims them as badges of honor. Trombonist David Gibson's End Of The Tunnel is such a recording, a quartet album of music that reminds the jazz world just how great funky and groovy music can be.
This is a straight-ahead album, no doubt. But it's straight-ahead with enough twists and turns to ensure a freshness and vibrancy to the music. Partly, this is due to most of the tunes being originals: five from Gibson and two from organist Jared Gold. But it's also due to the musicians' performances, which sparkle with life and invention rather than merely reproducing the styles and ideas of others.
The interplay between these four musicians is superbinnovative, swinging, fun. On "Wasabi," for example, the quartet weaves up-tempo patterns in and out of each others' lines with ease. When things slow down, the players are just as adept at creating evocative musical moods. "Sunday Morning" is underpinned by Gold and drummer Quincy Davis' relaxed but slinky rhythms, while Gold's "Splat" and "Preachin,'" are both fairly gentle, mid-tempo, shuffles. Gibson's "The In-Whim" is the standout tune, with some jerky, jagged rhythm playing from Gold and Davis, and intriguing unison passages from the trombonist and alto saxophonist Julius Tolentino.
The originals are bookended by Herbie Hancock's "Blind Man, Blind Man"Gold and Davis providing a seriously cool grooveand Jackie McLean's "Blue Rondo," with Tolentino and Gibson trading phrases over Gold's stabbing organ chords and Davis' driving percussion. The choice is well-made, a reminder of the music that inspires and inhabits both Gibson and Gold's writing. But it's the original compositions that add a real spark of innovation and good-time grooves to End Of The Tunnel.
Track Listing: Blind Man, Blind Man; Wasabi; Sunday Morning; End of the Tunnel; A Place of Our Own; Splat; The In-Whim; Preachin'; Blue Rondo.
Personnel: David Gibson: trombone; Julius Tolentino: alto saxophone; Jared Gold: organ; Quincy Davis; drums.
Record Label: Posi-Tone Records
Style: Straight-ahead/Mainstream

1. | Hoesale | ||
This is not the typical "hook-up" as one would find on the street corner. This is special pricing, similar to "resale" pricing, but not exactly the same. This "hook-up" can be described as the pricing one would get while shopping at an outdoor swap meet or from a street vendor. This does not mean that one is selling "hoe's" (that being of the gardening tool or the woman prostitute) "I can get that at hoesale" This would mean you are not really getting a deal at all and may be even paying more than retail. The item maybe used, damaged or even carrying some type of disease.
Seller: "I have some cheap Gucci bags at hoesale" Customer: "Those are not Gucci bags, those are Chucci bags!" |

The Highest Quality Blotting Paper!
Published by Rosie on April 6th, 2011 in Blotting Paper, Desk Blotters
If the impression you'd like to give your customers and clients and even your staff is one of class, power and sophistication, then you may like to consider the look of your office. First think, what is it people see first? Normally this is your desk, which many people make the mistake of cluttering! However your desk is your centrepiece and a real reflection of you, your organisational skills and your character. If you're in a managerial role you'll need to make sure that you have an elegant looking desk, high quality, suave finish, something which is pleasing to the eye. Your next and most pivotal consideration will be to the organisation of your desk. It's no good having a beautiful new desk when all you do is leave it covered in mounds of paper work, and let's face it, that's no way to keep on top of things now is it? One way of keeping your filing organised would be to file away everything into a cabinet, leaving the paperwork which is incomplete or is needed regularly in a letter tray or desk drawers. This can then be kept at arm's reach on your desk leaving just enough room for your desk blotter. Now this is a real gem, the queen of sophistication; a desk blotter is THE MD's dream desk piece!
However aside from their distinguished looks, a desk blotter also protects your desk defending against scratches, heat and moisture and consistently providing you with blotting paper to draw excess ink from your pen. Aimed at professionals and specialists, those who like to experiment in Calligraphy and the art of fountain pen writing would greatly benefit from a desk blotter too.
With your blotting pad, you will of course need some blotting paper (as featured to your right) which is basically a type of paper used to absorb excess substances such as ink or oil. An example of blotting paper's use is when absorbing excess ink left on parchment when writing with a fountain pen. Blotting paper is also used to remove ink from writing; this writing will appear in reverse on the blotting paper. Blotting paper is most popular when using dip pens and even when using fountain pens and our range of Leathercraft blotting paper perfect for this. Available in Full and Half demy and in colours cream or white, you're sure to find precisely what you're looking for at Office 365. Our blotting paper comes in packs of 50 sheets, and are available with at least 23% off the RRP! So grab yourself a bargain today!
