Claudia Jordan is an American television and radio personality, as well as a model. She is most famous for being the model holding case number one on the NBC game show, "Deal or No Deal," as well as a contestant on season two and six of "Celebrity Apprentice."
Born to an Italian mother and African-American father, Claudia Angela Jordan grew up in Providence, Rhode Island where she attended East Providence High School. While there, she honed her athletic skills, eventually earning all-state honors in track and field as a sprinter. She even went on to compete in three Junior Olympics, as well as become an All-American sprinter in the 400-meter relay at Baldwin Wallace College in Ohio. While in attendance there, Claudia worked for the Providence American Newspaper, as well as the Boston television station, WHDH-TV.
Of course, being such a natural athlete meant having an incredible body. Therefore, Claudia began competing in modeling competitions, earning the title of Miss Rhode Island Teen USA in time for the 1990 Miss Teen USA pageant. In 1997, she even took the Miss Rhode Island USA title. This, in turn, lead to further modeling opportunities, namely becoming one of Barker's Beauties on "The Price is Right" from 2001 to 2003. Again, this only lead to bigger opportunities, as she was then selected to be the model for case number one on NBC's "Deal or No Deal."
Claudia is so much more than a model, however. She has gone on to be a very famous television and radio personality. On the TV front, she is easily most famous for being a contestant on both season two and season six of the popular NBC reality series, "Celebrity Apprentice." As for radio, at one point Claudia hosted her own weekly Sirius/XM Radio series on Jamie Foxx's The Foxxhole, called "The Claudia Jordan Show." She's even helped co-host the Miss Universe pageant on several occasions, and shows no signs of slowing down in the near future.

Doc Sportello provided trainer Michael Herrington with the biggest victory of his career when pouncing late in the five-furlong £19,000 Betway Conditions Race on Tapeta at Newcastle this afternoon.
The five-year-old is now guaranteed a free start in the £150,000 Betway All-Weather Sprint over six furlongs on Polytrack at Lingfield Park on All-Weather Championships Finals Day, Good Friday, April 14.
Sent off an 8/1 chance, Doc Sportello was ridden patiently by Robert Winston off a strong prace set by Irish raider Chiclet (Tracey Collins/Gary Halpin, 22/1) and was still last with two furlongs to race. He made good progress to challenge between rivals over a furlong out and stayed on strongly despite drifting to just beat Justice Good (David Elsworth/Shane Kelly, 7/1) in a driving finish.
The winning margin was a short-head, with a length and a quarter back to Dougan (David Evans/Andrew Mullen, 10/1) in third. Hot favourite Gracious John (David Evans/John Egan, 5/4) was fourth.
Doc Sportello was claimed by Herrington for £10,000 after winning a six-furlong claimer for Epsom trainer Adam West at Newcastle on December 16, after which he was second on his debut for the stable in handicap over the same course and distance on January 3. West had bought the horse for 3,200 guineas.
Herrington, who is based near Thirsk in North Yorkshire, said: "I was down at the start because Doc Sportello has had a history of being a bit naughty in the stalls.
"When Eddie Lynam had him in Ireland he had a bit of trouble and Adam West has obviously done a great job with him because when he went to Chester in September he laid down under the stalls.
"Adam spent loads of time sorting him out and then got him to win a claimer here in December. Fortunately for me, he was a good claim for £10,000 then. It is unbelievable really.
"We thought he would run well holding him up off a strong pace because they do come from behind here. He has got an engine and is clearly a good horse. He has not had much racing – this was only his sixth start – and can only get better if we can keep him healthy.
"It means everything because I didn't ride many winners as a jockey – I was only an average rider. I have worked for Kevin Ryan and Dandy Nicholls as a travelling lad and a head lad. I have only got a few horses and it is great to compete against the big boys.
"We are in the final now and I won't over-race him. He has got to race a bit to give him some more experience so we will probably give him a run around Lingfield before the final – there are a couple of Listed races there before Good Friday."
Winston said: "I purposely took Doc Sportello out of the race because he can get a bit racey with you. He switched off beautiful once I took him back a few lengths and probably landed in front a bit too soon.
"He was edging off to the left but once he saw the other horse he wanted to go other way so I let him join him and he produced the goods.
"He hit a real strong headwind the last day and it was just experience that beat him. I said then come back to five furlongs as you will see the best of him and he has proved it.
"I am just delighted for Michael, his wife and the connections because they deserve to have a runner on Good Friday."
The stewards held an enquiry and found that Doc Sportello had interfered with Dougan inside the final furlong. They found Winston guilty of careless riding and cautioned him.
Doc Sportello formed the second leg of a 35/1 double for Winston after Flaming Spear (Kevin Ryan) produced a power-packed finish to win the £45,000 Sunbets.co.uk Handicap over seven furlongs.
The well-backed 3/1 favourite had a wall of horses in front of him over a furlong out, but quickened brilliantly towards the stands' side to win by a cosy neck at the line. Fort Bastion (Brian Ellison/Tom Eaves, 20/1) was second, with a further neck back to Al Khan (Kevin Ryan/Kevin Stott, 33/1) in third.
Winston said: "It was very muddling early on but, in fairness, the horse absolutely loved it. He was carting me along in amongst them and just thought he was in control. He would have been one of the most unlucky losers had he not got up.
"I missed the start on purpose. The plan was to drop him in because needs to be taught to switch off and thankfully he got the gaps.
"He has been very highly thought of and once he learns to switch off he will be a very decent horse. All credit to Tony Bloom [owner] and Kevin Ryan because he has done a fantastic job with him. He is a horse they haven't been able to keep 100 per cent sound but they are on top of that now.
"The mile race on Finals Day is a possibility but, to be honest, I don't say where they go. I just ride them. I do know the Lincoln was mentioned after his last run, so who knows."
The next Fast-Track Qualifier takes place at Wolverhampton Racecourse on Monday 16th January. Grandstand admission is free on the day of racing as well. http://www.wolverhampton-racecourse.co.uk/whats-on/fixture/16-january-2017/

For my card, I combined the Wonderful Marvelous set with the Jeremiah 17:7 Plain Jane to make a special card for my nephew's 19th birthday. He's such a great kid and just returned home from his first year of college. This verse really makes me think of him, so I thought it was the perfect fit. I embossed the verse in black on designer paper first. Next I embossed the flag trios in white three times on black paper and punched out with a circle punch. Then I stamped the trios a couple more times on two coordinating papers, hand trimmed and paper pieced over the flag images. The Happy Birthday flag is built with two sentiments from this set and I hand trimmed the ends and added a bit of detail with a black pen to make it pop. It's attached to the card with a Tim Holtz memo pin, turned upside down. and I added a bit of black twine for interest. The card was inspired by Janelle's Week 2 Viva la Verve sketch, but I adjusted it a bit to fit the card and to change it to a 3.5 x 5.5" card base. The card was a big hit, both with the women in the family and my nephew.
Alrighty... time to hop on over to the next stop on the hop, the fabulous Charmaine.

William McKinley was a popular president. He led the nation during the emergence of the United States into its modern position as a global economic and military power.
Businesses did well, jobs were abundant, and the booming economy grew even stronger as the United States became more heavily involved in international trade. During McKinley's presidency, the United States quickly and decisively won the Spanish-American War (1898).
Debate continues, however, about McKinley's effectiveness as president. He intended to address several key issues during his second term. But his opportunity was cut short with his assassination in 1901.
Throughout his political career—as a congressman, as governor of Ohio, and as president—McKinley promoted business interests. Taking a cautious approach, he supported the protection of American business and industry by taxing imported goods to keep their prices high. He preferred to allow home businesses to manufacture and sell...

The British Library publishes a wide range of books. Naturally, my focus is on the Classic Crime series, but I've also enjoyed a number of their other publications in recent times. And just in time for Christmas, they've published two short story collections which are very much in keeping with the tradition of spooky stories for a dark winter's night.
The Haunted Library (great title!) is a volume of stories selected by Tanya Kirk. She was responsible for the BL's excellent Gothic Imagination exhibition last year- which I really enjoyed. Now she's put together a book of classic ghost stories by a range of authors, several of whom I'm not familiar with. The obvious exception is M.R. James, and "The Tractate Middoth" was televised a couple of years back. A notable story, ideal for this particular book.
Other notable contributors include Edith Wharton, Algernon Blackwood and Elizabeth Bowen. But I'd never heard of A.N.L. Munsby or one or two of the others. Mixing familiar writers with those who are long neglected is a good recipe for an anthology of this kind. A similar approach has been adopted by Andrew Smith, who is responsible for Lost in a Pyramid and other classic Mummy stories..
Andrew Smith's intro talks very interestingly about his subject, and it directed me to a book by Roger Luckhurst about "mummy curse" fiction, which I've just bought. "Lot no. 249" by Arthur Conan Doyle is the only story I've read before, but a varied range of contributors, including Louisa May Alcott, Grant Allen, and Sax Rohmer ensure that there's plenty of entertainment for mummy fans everywhere!.

The Haunted Library and Lost in a Pyramid
2 comments:
I was going to say that A.N.L. Munby's ghost story collection The Alabaster Hand is well worth seeking out and not too hard to find... but then I looked at the prices on abebooks and came to the conclusion that it must be harder to find than I thought! E.G. Swain's collection Bone to my Bone was published in paperback by Equation in 1989 and is also a good read.
- 14 December 2016 at 21:09
Hi Mike
Just to say The Alabaster Hand was reprinted in a lovely hardback edition a couple of years ago by The Sundial Press and I belive is still available direct from the publishers. This is how I got my copy recently and you're right - it's a terrific collection!

Europe is still frozen but we should not complain – and perhaps our predecessors did not mind the cold either. This brilliant painting of a medieval garden yard is from Les Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry. The painting is dated to c1410 – so we can celebrate its 600th annniversary. The wattle fencing is exquisite. The sheep are better protected than on a modern farm. The beehives are in good order and produced a more nutritious sweetner than our refined and dangerous sugars. Mum is modest but the young girl and boy are exposing their genitals to the warmth of a fire. It reminds me of a lecture from the president of the students union in my first week at university. He solemnly informed his audience that if, before intercourse, a man spent an hour with his testicles between two lightbulbs it would reduce the risk of an unwanted pregnancy. I never put the theory to the test.
6 thoughts on "February in a medieval garden in France"
I sincerely hope he wasn't putting out such irresponsible advice in an era where condoms were readily available… still, I got a giggle imagining the man who would sit in such a bizarre posture for an hour. Interesting post!↓
Robert Webber
Been a bit of a grim morning-caused by humans not weather-and you have given me my first laugh of the day and so for that I thank you.
And also of course for the beautiful vignette of medieval life!
Best Wishes

The barber I frequented well into the 1980's in New Cross – when condoms were already available in all shapes, sizes, colours and flavours in most High Street chemists – always used to ask as I was paying him "Are you all right for everything?". It took me a long time to work out what he meant, I guess most of his other customers came from your era, Tom!↓
I think that the 2 lightbulbs trick would work: after a successful date, some kissing in the taxi home and a spot of petting in the bedroom, I don't think that the declaration
"Right, love, I'm just off to pop me nuts between a pair of lightbulbs – see you in an hour: help yourself to some twiglets!"
would be condusive to any intercourse at all. At least, it never worked for me…↓

Zhengzhou, China (PRWEB) July 08, 2014
iAbrasive makes a comparison between diamond wire saw and diamond saw blade in stone processing. Read the original article at: http://www.iabrasive.com/articles/diamond-wire-saws-vs-diamond-saw-blades-in-stone-processing.
Raw Stone Processing
Stones exploited from mines with irregular form and rough section are called raw stones, which can not be applied in plate processing immediately. At present, raw stone in China mainly involves marble and granite. With the development of technology, the old way of shaping stones by labor is outdated.
Diamond saw blade used to process raw stones usually owns a large circular saw blade, on which diamond grits are inserted. Owning to its flexible property, diamond saw blade can be used to process ultra-hard stones. However, its diameter is usually large, and its height is twice the stones to be processed together with the diameter of Flange. It is not easy to produce diamond saw blade with too large diameter. Therefore, diamond saw blade is unsuitable to process oversize plates.
Comparatively, diamond wire saw not only owns the flexibility of ropes, but also owns rigidity of diamond. Moreover, they are not limited by length. Due to those features, diamond wire saws are almost applicable to cut any large objects. It has many advantages, such as short time preparation, strong flexibility, high efficiency, energy saving, etc, which make diamond wire saws popular in stone mining and stone processing.
Plate Cutting
When processing stones, plate cutting is a quite important step. Usually diamond saw blades are used to cut plates. But in this situation, the size of plates is relatively small. One diamond wire saw is able to cut large plates and ultra-large plates, and is not restrained by the thickness of stones. However, compared with diamond frame saws containing several tens or a few hundreds saws, diamond wire saw is neither efficient nor cost-effective. Consequently, diamond wire saws are used when plates are too thick or their amount is small. With the development of technology, combined diamond wire saws are went out. Combined diamond wire saws can be applied in cutting marble and granite plates when changing different beads or linear velocity of diamond wire saws.
Irregular Stones Processing
Irregular stones refer to all special-shaped stones except sheet and block stones, and include many types, such as pillars and arches. Nowadays, people's demands are much stricter, so it is with irregular stones processing. In the course of irregular stones processing, diamond wire saws and diamond saw blades are used. Owing to its high linear velocity, diamond wire saws could shift curve type and arc type, and can be widely applied in processing parquet and curved sides.

Durham Library Foundation supports Durham County Library by helping to fund several signature initiatives.
Humanities Programming
Our humanities programming brings nationally recognized authors and world-class scholars to thousands of library patrons, and is a model for other library systems around the state. Participation in the library's innovative programs continues to double and redouble. These award-winning events are funded almost entirely by donations to the Foundation.
North Carolina Collection
The North Carolina Collection is the resource for historical records of the city and county of Durham. It is crucial that the library continue to provide these relevant materials to the public in a timely manner, but storage and cataloging needs present ongoing fiscal challenges. Funds from the Foundation help grow and support the collection.
Summer Reading
Summer Reading, the most popular Durham County Library program, touches thousands of children each summer. For two months, children log their daily reading and become eligible for rewards as they progress. The Foundation is committed to providing funding to this important program that helps keep children's minds active during the summer and gets them ready for the upcoming school year.
Library Youth Partners
With GlaxoSmithKline, the Foundation supports Library Youth Partners. This innovative program trains high-school-aged teens to become leaders in spreading the benefits of literacy throughout the community.

Are you curious about body waxing, but nervous to try? At His & Hers Waxing, we offer Brazilians, bikini waxing and waxes for arms, legs and underarms. You can also try entire body hair removal for both men and women. Our convenient locations in Salt Lake City and Fort Union are convenient for clients in Murray, Sandy and beyond.
We understand feeling nervous before having a full body wax or having any part of your body waxed for that matter because it sounds painful. Our experienced, awesome team helps you feel comfortable from the moment you step in until the moment you leave with clean, smooth skin.
The Body Waxing Process
Is waxing worth it? Waxing lasts longer than conventional shaving or hair removal creams. Waxing removes the hair at the root so it takes longer to grow back. Many of our customers don't see hair growth for four to six weeks.
When you choose to wax over shaving, be sure to maintain a regular waxing schedule. This keeps your skin smooth and hair-free longer. Regular appointments also lower sensitivity in the areas we wax, making your waxing experience that much better in the future.
Why His & Hers Waxing Salons?
Men and women in the Salt Lake valley are pleased with their new smooth skin after a Brazilian, bikini wax or full body wax. Our gentle staff takes care of all your needs and helps you achieve a sleek, clean look with smooth skin across your entire body. To set up an appointment at our Salt Lake City salon, call (801)-449-0527.

Kicking off the fall season
Club ice starts this Saturday, September 10th! All club members are invited to attend the unveiling of our new bulletin board and display case in the rink lobby and meet with the board members. We'll have some refreshments and some fun on the ice for the skaters too. Finalists for the "Design a t-shirt" contest will be announced.

Pizza, camraderie enjoyed at US Nationals watch party
Skaters, parents, coaches, and judges shared good food and fellowship during the Ladies final TV broadcast in January. Our skaters of all ages enjoyed making decorations, hanging out together, and of course eating lots of pizza and dessert! The grownups enjoyed talking about a range of skating topics, including our favorites (or not!) of the competitors dresses. We hope to see even more smiling faces at our next social event.
A big shout out to the Mazzio's Pizza in Jenks for letting us take over their front room for 3 hours!
Club ice returns to 1st Saturdays for 2016
We hope you enjoyed the series of weekly classes on club ice this last fall. We were able to introduce skaters to the disciplines of dance and synchronized skating, as well as provide other in depth classes with our experienced coaching staff. The board has enjoyed bringing these opportunities to our skaters of all ages.
Since membership dues for the year were based on monthly club ice and we must be responsible with our funds, we will be returning to 1st Saturday club ice sessions for the rest of this season (January – May 2016). If you feel the weekly club ice was valuable and would like to continue it for next season, please let the board (email@example.com) know. We will take your feedback into consideration when setting dues and schedules for the 2016-2017 membership year.
Lastly, many thanks go out to our talented coaches who assisted with teaching classes or the TFSC group holiday show number. We couldn't do it without them! Thank you Jessie, Kelly, Phyllis, Robert, Boyko, and Michelle. (Apologies to anyone we missed who also helped!)
The remaining club ice dates for the 2015-2016 membership year are as follows, all from 9-10am:

I first make some patterns for the symbols, copied it on application fibrous web (don't not wether it is the right english "word" for it, sorry) cut it out, ironed it on the single pieces of the short and the top and sewed around it with zig-zag-stitch to finally really really fix it…
It take long and hard work…

Puzzle of the Day
These puzzles are also printed in Eight days a week, a booklet published by the Association of Teachers of Mathematics.
Use three twos in three different ways so the second answer is twice the first answer and half the third answer. You can put add, take, times or divide between the twos. e.g. 2÷2+2=3
Answer: answers could be 0.5, 1 and 2 eg 2÷(2x2)=0.5, 2-(2÷2)=1 and (2+2)÷2=2 but also (2-2)x2=0, (2-2)÷2=0 and 2x(2-2)=0 would be allowed

The Biggest Change in UltraSkin Layered Cue Tips For The Year.
The biggest change for the UltraSkin Layered Cue Tip this year is the same as day one. NO CHANGES.
UltraSkin is pleased with its repeat business from over 1,0000 Cue Makers and Cue Repair People we have found no reason for a "New And Improved"
Stick with what your customers and their customers have seemed to enjoy over the past years.
Layered Cue Tips have become like a passion to me.
With 6 varieties of densities we feel for the majority of players and the variety of games and cloths on tables we hopefully have you covered.
Custom cues usually come with two shafts. On a personal note, I use the UltraSkin Layered Pro cue tip for One Pocket and the UltraSkin Medium Layered Cue Tip for Nine Ball. Depending on cloth and rails I may switch the shafts to fit.
I will never sell all the Layered Cue Tips to the whole pool playing world so I don't try. If you and/or your customers enjoy the UltraSkin Layered Tip please buy them, your business is very much appreciated.
If you go another way, please, just enjoy the Game/Sport and keep stroking.
LayeredCueTips.Com would like to thank the over 1,000 Cue Repair people and Cue Manufactures for installing over 100,000 Ultraskin Layered Cue Tips in the past year.
UltraSkin would also like to thank all the Pool Players that have requested their tips be changed over to the UltraSkin Layered Cue Tips.
Their has been some new excitement added to the UltraSkin Layered Cue Tip line. Due to demand two more additions have been added to the normal line up of Soft, Medium and Hard. Players now have two more choices, The HH known as the Heavy Hitter and the VS known as the Very Soft.
As a Player myself I have almost always had two shafts per butt (in the 1960's it was almost unheard of to have an extra shaft. My Second shaft would mostly go not used during the time I owned it. I however have found due to the way different tables play and the many different games played today the need to have two different hardness tips on my shafts of the UltraSkin Layered Cue Tip line. This allows me often to obtain the same reaction on the cloth and rails without a change in the acceleration of my stroke.
I hope you as a player will now ask your professional Cue Repair Person which UltraSkin Layered Cue Tip will be the best to enhance your game or try one of your friends cue's that has an UltraSkin Layered Cue Tip already installed so you can get some correct feed back on which is right for you. As a player you must understand your friends cue will not play exactly like yours so take the time to compensate for the cues hit compared to yours while paying more attention to the feel of the Cue Tip.
Thank you for your support and may the UltraSkin Layered Cue Tip be your "Love At First Stroke"

Strikeforce promised fans a stacked show in January and it appears they intend to deliver. Though not officially announced, a bout between middleweight champion Luke Rockhold and unbeaten striker Lorenz Larkin has been linked to an event on January 12. The match-up was originally scheduled to take place on November 3 before a series of injuries resulted in the card's cancellation.
MMAJunkie was first to report the expected date of Strikeforce's potential swan song, as well as the likelihood of Rockhold/Larkin being part of the lineup. Other fighters expected to see action that evening include Daniel Cormier, Gilbert Melendez, and Nate Marquardt.
Rockhold is 10-1 thus far in his young career including nine consecutive wins under the Strikeforce banner. The American Kickboxing Academy product was last seen picking up a hard-fought decision win in a title-defense against Tim Kennedy in July, adding to other notable victories on his record such as those against Keith Jardine and Ronaldo Souza.
The 13-0 Larkin is coming off a successful middleweight debut against Robbie Lawler after a run at 205 pounds. Eight of his wins have come by way of strike-based stoppage.

Strengthened by the Storm: The early Mormons of Harkers Island, NC, by Joel G. Hancock.
Harkers Island is located off the coast of North Carolina. It has always had a small population, first of Native Americans, then of European settlers. Devastating hurricanes brought new residents from the Outer Banks at the very end of the 19th century, especially upon the complete destruction of Diamond City. Active proselytizing by Mormon missionaries was successful, so successful, that the Mormon population of Harkers Island gets coverage in Wikipedia's treatment of its history:
Elders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) proselyted extensively on Harkers Island after the hurricanes. Many of the refugees from Diamond City, uprooted physically and emotionally by the devastating hurricanes, converted to the Latter-day Saints, and soon outnumbered the members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, which had been founded on the island in 1875. A national wave of anti-Mormon sentiment was sparked by the Smoot Hearings in 1904, fueling fears that Mormons secretly continued to practice polygamy. The relationship between the Mormons on Harkers Island and their neighbors deteriorated. Residents threw rocks and oyster shells through the windows of the LDS meetinghouse and fired at least one gunshot into the building. In 1906, arsonists burned the meetinghouse to the ground. Organized Mormon religious services did not resume on Harkers Island until 1909. A new LDS meetinghouse was constructed on the island in the 1930s. Despite these difficult beginnings, Harker's Island has one of the highest percentages of residents as members of the Latter-day Saints of any locality in North Carolina.
The Mormon community there has been buffeted by the violent storms that nature has brought onshore from time to time throughout the decades. But Harkers Island Mormons have also been buffeted by these storms of adversity borne of suspicion and misunderstanding on the part of their neighbors on the island, attitudes that persist to this day. Joel G. Hancock, a descendent of Mormons who lived through these pogroms and a leader in the Mormon community of Harkers Island, has written a detailed and compelling account of Mormon history there. His book, Strengthened by the Storm: The Early Mormons of Harkers Island, published by Cedar Fort, Inc., is here included in its entirety, a welcome contribution to this Mormon history website.

text: At DMA2013: B-to-B marketers to focus on personalization and BI in 2014 By Danielle Kerani. Published on October 16, 2013. Chicago—B-to-b marketers will increasingly focus on personalization and micro-targeting in 2014 and embrace cloud-based business intelligence in support of sales. That was one message delivered at the Direct Marketing Association's annual conference and expo here this week. "Marketers need to listen online, target better and apply what can be learned by data mining and predictive analytics," said marketing consultant Pamela Evans, at DMA's B2B Symposium session track "B2B Trends for 2014." "The social ecosystem reveals some essential insights that can be used to increase ROI." Other major trends that b-to-b marketers will be embracing include a greater commitment to story-telling as part of their content marketing efforts; the integration of social media marketing and e-mail, Web and mobile; and greater sales and marketing collaboration, Evans said. BtoB, a sponsor of DMA's B2B Symposium, presented original research indicating that 58% of marketers consider the use of social media marketing a major factor in their success. Based on an online poll conducted in February that drew 432 b-to-b marketers, the study—"Social Media Marketing: Best-in-Class Marketers Rise to the Top"—suggested that social primarily is supporting branding, website traffic building and SEO. But simply pushing content through social media isn't enough; marketers must also consider how those efforts impact overall business KPIs, said session panelist Jerry Nichols, senior director-worldwide performance management at SAP. "It's not about the data," Nichols said. "It's about how you deliver value to your organization and how you are leveraging Big Data to deliver strategies and tactics." In a separate DMA session, "The Top Social Media Fails and How to Avoid Them," Robin Carey, CEO of Social Media Today, said marketers cannot separate social media from customer service. "Don't think of just your goals, but think about what is the purpose of the people you are trying to reach," Carey said. Most Popular In this article: BtoB
