The phrase dates to an old proverb of which a modern expression first appeared in 1931.
It is defined as ruthless competition.
Dog eat dog.
Or, in relation to the lunacy that has engulfed conference realignment in collegiate athletics, what Boise State did in spurning the Big East to remain in the Mountain West.
I don't blame the Broncos. Not for a blue-and-orange second. They merely followed a script that has been the cornerstone of schools shifting from one league to another, making decisions on what each believes is best for its institution while getting the sweetest deal possible along the way.
If others suffer, well, so be it.
Boise State never in its history – and perhaps never again – held the sort of leverage that allowed it to play the Big East off the Mountain West, and in the end the latter agreed to meet certain demands set forth by the Broncos when it comes to their football program and the league's new TV contract.
In other words, the Mountain West blinked first and was smart to do so.
"Ultimately, we were unwilling to do the things (Boise State) wanted," Big East commissioner Mike Aresco said. "Our membership was unwilling to make the deal the Mountain West made with them."
Which leaves the Mountain West with 11 football members, searching for a 12th and perhaps more. One way or the other, you figure it will reach an even number, where it can split divisions and offer a conference football championship.
There is no question which program it should pursue hardest, but will Brigham Young want to return?
First things first. ESPN reported Wednesday that as part of Boise State's contract with the Mountain West, the conference must offer membership to San Diego State before any other school, that the Aztecs are to be given an "exclusive window to have their fate decided by the conference before Jan. 31."
That fate remains unknown today, because San Diego State doesn't have enough support from Mountain West presidents.
Call it childish. Call it some sort of weird sense of payback. The Mountain West's views toward Boise State and San Diego State are drastically different, mostly because of the Broncos' nationally recognized football program but also because many within the league believed the Aztecs and their athletic director, Jim Sterk, were far too arrogant when jumping to the Big East.
Sterk held news conferences to re-emphasize his school's allegiance to the move while you heard little to nothing from Boise State the past several months. That sort of thing.
Memo to those typically uneducated presidents when it comes to athletics: Get over it. Boise State and San Diego State were sold a Big East picture of millions of dollars annually in TV rights and easier access to the Bowl Championship Series cartel, critical things the Mountain West couldn't provide. In a college world dominated by football and the almighty dollar it generates, they did what countless others would have if offered.
But once all that disintegrated, once the Big East began to resemble the Sunset Region minus Bishop Gorman, the Broncos and Aztecs re-evaluated options, which any program would do in a similar situation.
If the Mountain West, however, decides 12 is enough and the Aztecs don't ultimately accept whatever terms are outlined to remain in the league, BYU should be given the first, second and fifth call to be that next piece to a puzzle far more attractive now than it was before Boise State remained in place.
BYU owns the sort of national brand other schools the Mountain West might be interested in don't, proven by that eight-year TV contract with ESPN that is set to pay the Cougars nearly $4 million annually through 2018. San Diego State wouldn't get such a deal. Southern Methodist or Houston wouldn't. Not even Boise State would.
The Mountain West needs to hear "No" from BYU before moving on, and perhaps several times. BYU is that lightning rod where you love the Cougars or hate them but accept – for many, begrudgingly – their relevancy and national following.
I would push the number of members to 14 by adding BYU (if you can get it), San Diego State and SMU or Houston, the latter three bringing the sort of TV market size conferences covet.
A huge opportunity is here for the Mountain West to solidify itself as the nation's fifth-best football conference and perhaps better in given years.
Dog eat dog.
The Mountain West has a chance to go from a basset hound to mastiff overnight.
Let's hope its presidents are smart enough to realize it.

Personalized Christmas Stockings
The Legendof the Christmas Stocking What is behind the vacation tradition of hanging hosiery over the fireplace? As far back as 1823, when Clement Clarke Moore (or perhaps Henry Livingston Jr.) wrote "A Check out From Saint Nicholas," stockings have been hung close to the fireplace, awaiting a pay a visit to from Santa Claus. With the finish of the poem, St. Nick "fill'd every one of the stockings; then turn'd by using a jerk,/And laying his finger aside of his nose/And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose."
Personalized And Monogrammed Christmas Stockings For The Family
Personalized Christmas Stockings 2980 Stockings are already an essential a part of the Christmas tradition for centuries (except, briefly, within the mid-1800s, when the Ny Instances wrote that Christmas trees just about totally supplanted them since the tradition of alternative). Personalized Christmas Stockings Christmas Idol
Personalized Christmas Stockings
Probably the most well known legend about why stockings are hung at Christmas goes anything like this: A not too long ago widowed man and father of 3 women was having a hard time building ends meet. Though his daughters have been attractive, he anxious that their impoverished status would make it not possible for them to marry. St. Nicholas was wandering by way of the town the place the man lived and heard villagers discussing that family's plight. He wanted to aid but knew the man would refuse any kind of charity directly. Alternatively, 1 night, he slid down the chimney of the family's household and filled the girls' not too long ago laundered stockings, which happened to be drying through the fire, with gold coins. And after that he disappeared. 1000 Ideas About Personalized Christmas Stockings On Pinterest

The women awoke within the morning, overjoyed upon discovering the bounty. Mainly because of St. Nick's generosity, the daughters have been now eligible to wed and their father could rest quick that they wouldn't fall into lonely despair. Whew! Whilst clearly far-fetched, this tale of unknown origin and date is most broadly referenced in relation to the history of the Christmas stocking. Christmas Stockings With Personalized Christmas Gift
Personalized Christmas Stockings by animebgx
For some, the ritual has translated into hanging a nondescript sock (the larger, the far better, of course) pulled from Dad's drawer. For other people, it has meant a personalized, decorated, possibly even handmade, foot-shaped bag hung 12 months after 12 months. And from time to time, it usually means not hanging the stocking by a fireplace whatsoever! Whichever stocking set-up you want, there is yet another associated factoid that'll impress visitors all through your vacation celebration. Oranges have a tendency to wind up in Christmas stockings, appropriate? Ever wonder why? Some say it is from a time when fresh fruit was more difficult to come by and locating an orange in the stocking was an enormous deal with. But a unique model of that beautiful-daughters-distraught-father legend swaps the gold coins left by St. Nick with 3 gold balls left in just about every stocking.

On December 29th fans across the boxing world will tune in to watch Fuji TV who will be showing a brilliant double header, including a WBO Super Flyweight title bout between Japanese champion Naoya Inoue (8-0, 7) and Filipino challenger Warlito Parrenas (24-6-1, 21).
Today, ahead of that bout, the fighters under-went their medical chests which saw both men pass with no issues. Interestingly the medical also saw measurements being taken of the two men and those measurements saw Parrenas have around 1.6cm in height advantage whilst Inoue boasted a 2cm reach advantage, essentially neutralising any advantage that Parrenas's would give him.
Naoya Inoue returns to face Warlito Parrenas!

Relatives of a 100-year-old victim of a heartless Brooklyn home invasion that left her husband of 30 years dead said she has already forgiven the killers — one of whom, according to a police source, might be a relative.
Gutsy Ethlin Thompson returned to her Bedford-Stuyvesant brownstone Thursday night after a brief stay at Kings County Hospital — a day after four suspects targeted her and her 91-year-old husband Waldiman Thompson in a meticulously-planned home invasion.
Despite her paralyzing grief and the trauma of being bound and robbed, Thompson leaned on her Christian faith and the support of family and friends.
"She said that she forgives the people that did this," said Thompson's great niece, Dorene Hunter. "I kissed her hand. I told her I love her. I didn't talk about the situation."
Brooklyn man, 91, dies as invaders tie up him and his wife, 100
Though the still-traumatized Thompson was cooperating with investigators, it was unclear if the grieving widow was aware of the compounding twist — that cops were interviewing a nephew, and considered him a person of interest, according to the police source.
The nephew, according to the source had been at the home a half-hour before the break in. The source said the nephew had not been around in a while, and showed up out of the blue.
"At the very least, it's somebody they know really well," the police source said.
Authorities said there were no signs of forced entry.

Thompson, who managed to free herself after being tied by the thieves, was supposed to be released from the hospital sooner. But a source said her blood pressure spiked and the hospital kept her longer for observation.
Doctors weren't taking any chances. Even as she returned home to pack some belongings for a stay at a relative's home, an ambulance remained on standby across the street.
Thompson was escorted from the back of an unmarked police car to her home. She was accompanied by about a dozen detectives, community affairs cops and relatives. She appeared fragile before walking inside.
"She's still in total denial about her husband," a police source said. "She keeps asking for him."

Meanwhile, cops say the suspects knew where they were going and what they wanted from the couple's residence.
"They knew where to look," a police source said. "There is no other reason why these two got picked by these thieves."
The perps left her spouse for dead and made off with $5,000 cash.
Waldiman was found unconscious and face-down near the couple's bedroom, with a blanket wrapped around his head and a pillow pressed into his face, police sources said.
Video captured very clear images of the suspects near the couple's Decatur St. home, and cops were confident that arrests were imminent, police sources said.
Cops also intend to ask Thompson what happened when the robbers appeared at 3:15 p.m. Wednesday.
The sweet elderly couple was known in the neighborhood for sitting outside with their five pet parakeets.
"Yellow ones and green ones," said neighbor Kevin Tinsley, 61. "And the birds always made noise. That's what attracted my grandchildren.
"They were the nicest couple," he added. "All they had was each other."
Other friends of the senior citizen sweethearts were ready to find the suspects themselves.
"The guys in the neighborhood, they're saying they don't want a reward," said Carol Matthews, 63. "(The cops) better find out before these guys do."
The criminal quartet moved quickly after slipping inside, throwing blankets over the heads of the couple and tying them up. Ethlin managed to work herself free and run outside, screaming for help.
But assistance came too late for Waldiman, who died at Interfaith Medical Center about an hour after the robbers targeted the couple.
The medical examiner's office said the cause of death was sudden cardiac arrest after a home invasion "with robbery and restraint in a person with hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease."
The case was ruled a homicide.
Ethlin was a beloved regular at a nearby bodega, the Community Deli Gourmet. Police were reviewing security video taken from the store, where Thompson came each day for two turkey subs — one for her, one for her husband.
"She's the best woman!" said co-owner Fethi Kassim, 29.
Bodega colleague Ali Ahmde, 63, recalled Ethlin as perpetually upbeat.
"She came every day," he recalled. "She'd said, "hello, how are you doing? How's your day?'"

Stening Simpson Surety Bonds make construction more profitable.
We now have available to us, an "A" rated Underwriter who will consider providing security under a contract for one off Bonds with no requirement of, first, establishing a Surety Bond Facility.
Apart from good financials and a proven track record, the main criteria is that net tangible assets of the company be at least double the amount of the security required.
The current list of accepted beneficiaries are :
State and Federal Entities
Local Councils
State Agencies
Water Authorities
Port Authorities
This also embraces sub contractors of main contractors to the principals mentioned above.
The list of beneficiaries will be expanded over time.
The Underwriter is also able to consider Bank Fronted Guarantees should a Surety Bond not be acceptable to a Beneficiary.
Previously in the Australian Surety Market, Underwriters would only consider companies with turnover in excess of $30m (realistically $50m) with net assets of $5m.
We now have available to us, an "A" rated Underwriter who will consider companies with turnover of $20m. This is unprecedented in Australia.
This means that the smaller quality companies and sub-contractors will now be considered for a Surety Bond Facility, providing the same benefits as the larger companies are currently enjoying.
If you meet the following criteria or you know of a company that meets the criteria, do not hesitate to contact us:
• Revenue of at least $20 Million per annum (an average of $20 Million over a 3 year period);
• Must have a minimum net tangible worth of $1 Million;
• Positive cash flow;
• Positive working capital;
• At least 3 years of continuous profitability;
• Operating for at least 5 years.
The Underwriter is also able to provide Bank Fronted Guarantees (within the Surety Bond Facility) should a Surety Bond not be acceptable to a Principal, which allows the Surety Bond Facility to be deployed more efficiently.
Benefits of Surety Bonds/Surety Bond Facilities
- Bonds are widely accepted form of contract security and accepted by the private sector, federal, state and local municipalities.
- Are flexible and operate alongside traditional banking facilities.
- Bond Facilities are unsecured (no tangible security or collateral is required).
- Bond Facilities allows Contractors to free up funds and reduce debt and tender for more contracts without being restricted by security requirements.
- Bonds are an alternative to bank guarantees.
- Bond Facilities allows the company greater financial flexibility by allowing the company to leverage of its capital base and therefore utilise assets more cost effectively.
- There is no upfront or establishment fees or ongoing fees payable, apart from legal documentation costs on establishment of Facility. Premiums on Bonds are only payable on usage.
- There is quick turnaround in issuing Bonds to meet contract deadlines.
- Provides the company funding flexibility / options by not having to utilise its banking lines.

Right Wing Gillibrand Continues to Destroy Democratic Party
Today, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand blogged about her unyielding support to repeal the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. We have to wonder, what happened to the too conservative Gillibrand that was once predicted? When Gov. Paterson tapped her from New York's Republican-leaning 20th district, he angered and alienated just about every liberal dynasty and constituency possible: the Kennedys, the Cuomos, Carolyn Maloney, gun control enthusiasts, and anti-smoking advocates. Liberal fears were ripe that the one-time cheap cigarettes lawyer and gun owner would put an AK-47 in the hand of every child and a Joe the Camel poster on their bedroom wall. Gays and lesbians were concerned that she wasn't quite there on gay marriage, and she'd voted against repealing DOMA.
Paterson missed a golden opportunity to appoint a future gubernatorial rival, and instead gambled a statewide Senate seat on the most conservative member of New York's house delegation. (He could afford to do that back then — his approval numbers were comfortably in the double digits.)
And did we get a Blue Dog Democrat? Hardly. Gillibrand blogs on the Huffington Post nearly as often as Nora Ephorn. Her views on gun control "evolved" rather quickly. Civil Unions instead of marriage? That was yesterday. Marriage for everyone, says today's Senator, and toss out DADT while you're at it! She vocally wants a public option for health care. She was one of just seven — 7! — senators to vote to continue funding ACORN, inspiring the Post to call her Sen. Jello Brand.
Heck, she's so liberal now she broke with Marty Markowitz, Al Gore and Barack Obama and actually endorsed Bill Thompson for mayor! At this rate, Comrade Gillibrand might even endorse the man who put her on the map, though she's still keeping her cards close to her vest on that one.

April 1, 2010 --People with a high intake of vitamin K from food may be less likely to develop or die from cancer, especially prostate or lung cancer.
Vitamin K can be found in green leafy vegetables as well as in some vegetable oils, meat and cheese.
Researchers in Germany found that about one quarter of those people with the highest intakes of vitamin K were 28 percent less likely to die from cancer than those who ate less vitamin K-rich food.
Scientists at the Cancer Research Center in Germany studied the dietary habits of more than 24,000 people for ten years. The people were between the ages of 35 and 64 and were cancer-free at the beginning of the study.
The findings are published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Long-term loans are meant for borrowers looking to earn large investments inside their small business, and shorter-term loans are created to help organization owners with everyday operating costs. Cash out Refinance loans permit you to take cash away from your house equity to look after concerns like paying off debt, funding school, or making household improvements. Lending Tree lenders supply an array of credit types, including business loans. The lending company uses custom technology to supply modest businesses with quick, handy and very affordable small business loans.
Process of the USA Bank Loan:
In case you have an excellent credit history yourself, this can also boost your fortune of loan approval. The length of the vehicle loan, or loan term, simply indicates the quantity of time you must pay the lending company back. These are merely a number of facts you must be aware of, while approaching a financial institution for financing. I am going to strive to address some these things within this guide and how I received my loan.
So let's have a glance at how to earn your dream a reality during the educational loan. Another thing to check at is the vehicle loan term.
For small-scale businesses, however, bank lending is frequently a crucial wellspring of capital. Quite simply, the banks were then creating money claims which were generally accepted as way of payment. Some standard banks are skeptical as well. This bank is among the greatest banks within the nation that supply a variety of loans to students in need of monetary assistance.
There are only two major varieties of bank accounts in the USA. The very first thing you ought to check as you start to shortlist banks could be the eligibility criteria.
The Policy of the USA Bank Loan:
You send the lender an established amount every month and slowly repay the financial loan. Additionally, both don't have any prepayment penalty if you need to pay the financial loan off early. In such instances, loan officers might have to work with numerous banks to compile a package of loans. The financial loan officer will decide if the customer is eligible for financing.
Although you might have been rejected as a result of a poor credit rating, you may still consider effective alternatives and get personal loans with negative credit. If a credit score conversion is necessary, may rely on your situation in the time of the outstanding loan along with the policies of your own lender. Upon clearance of these documents, students must also be in possession of a wonderful credit history and have the ability to create a creditworthy co-signer to have the financial loan.
The IRRRL is normally performed to decrease the interest and lessen the monthly payment on the current VA guaranteed loan. The interest rate is a definite percentage of the outstanding loan you have to repay in reinforcement to the loan principal. Processing monthly financial loan payments automatically is among the numerous things we do to continue to keep rates low. Your actual payment will change based on the APR, loan quantity and term selected.
Rates of the USA Bank Loan:
Possessing a cosigner and a great credit score will even mean that you may secure a loan on a low interest rate. The bank provides competitive rates of interest as well as provides flexible repayment choices. Some loans cannot cover the whole educational costs. Private student loans are a fine choice to cover the rest of the costs.
Bank of America isn't the just one trusted financial institution which provides borrowing choices. It is one of the nation's largest banks, and was once a major student lender. Although Bank of America Loans isn't currently being offered, you may always try to find alternatives. These loans are desirable in a range of cases, like every time a business doesn't yet have an established history. They could add up to 5% to 6% of your own loan, and also the closing procedure can take weeks. For businesses to recompense the loan, the lending company collects a daily portion of sales. To qualify, businesses should have been in operation for over a year and has to process at least $5,000 in charge card sales monthly.
Management students are amongst the top choices for a lot of the banks. Businesses may be qualified for loans in one day and get funds within three days. They approved for loans can have access to the funds as soon as the next business day.

Businesses with negative credit aren't automatically eliminated from loan consideration. Once approved, you've got instant access to your own loan. You may apply for financing on the internet or over the telephone. Fill within the questionnaire below, and you may be reached by alternative lenders ready to talk about your loan requirements.

I'm still on my Blood Donation Campaign.
In the Spirit of Easter, we celebrate our Lord Jesus who gave His Blood, His Life, to give us life.
On His Head: Crown made of sharp thorny twigs.
On His Hands: Rusty Iron Nails pierced.
On His Tummy: Shot with a Spear. On His Feet: Rusty Iron Nails pierced.
On His Body, head to toe: Brutal beating by angry soldiers.
That's a lot of blood! From the crown of His Head to the sole of His feet, He bled to transfuse a dying world.
…in His Steps…
"To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps." 1 Peter 2:21 (NIV)
Let us follow in His Step and donate blood. It might just save a life.
If you're healthy, with good hemoglobin (PCV) levels, then you have something to give.
Thank you as you consider donating at least a unit of blood before the end of the year.

Well...I love Brits. I really do. You all know that.
And I've also always enjoyed listening to British music ever since I was a kid. And this guy over here is part of a band which I was really fond of back when I was in grade school. Even until now. They actually didn't disband. They're still together, performing in concerts in the UK.
I hope they'd come to Manila, soon, too. Teehee!
Do you still remember who he is?
Oh, gosh....I just so so so love his abs. In his group, he has always been my crush. There were 2 guys in his group, anyway. I prefer him more. Ahihihi!

Okay, so we've done a successful donation run to 8 (1 still pending) safe houses in Gauteng, Cape Town & Durban. A lot more than I first anticipated for but so grateful.
I could not have done any of this without the help & support of my husband, my family, every person who donated and the ladies in Cape Town & Durban who gathered & dropped off donations – Dominique, Tandi-Lee & Sue.
I give you the biggest & most heartfelt thank you that you could ever find for making a massive difference in so many lives.
I would like to continue with collecting and dropping off donations at even more safe houses around South Africa, and who knows, maybe even go international – but that's a big dream. For now, we'll focus on what is around us.
The time has now come to dig a little bit deeper – to do more than just drop off donations or have a quick chat with the amazing ladies who take care of these precious babies.
I need to understand and find out what happens behind the scenes, what types of interaction happens with the actual community, how do the babies end up there?
Once we know what is already in place we can see where there is a gap or where more help or resources are needed.
We will be posting the information we find as articles on the page Amazing things happening around us. Hopefully this can inspire more people to raise their hands.
So before I go out and re-invent the wheel, let's start with this and see where it leads.
Quite excited to see what is being done around us that we don't necessarily see or hear about.

While presidential candidates of both parties are swarming the important early state of Iowa, President Obama plans his own event in there.
Obama is expected to visit Des Moines, Iowa next week for a discussion at North High School about college affordability.
"I'm looking forward to having a conversation with juniors and seniors gearing up for college as well as with their parents who, in many cases, are trying to figure out how to pay for it," Obama said in an email released by the White House on Tuesday.
White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest ruled out the possibility that Obama was even considering a third term, pointing to comments he made in July during his trip to Africa about how it was against the law.
Obama's influx of star power will likely draw media attention as Hillary Clinton, his former Secretary of State struggles with fading support in the state. Meanwhile Joe Biden, Obama's Vice President is also exploring a run for the Democratic nomination for president.
The president has been careful not to show to much deference to either candidate, lavishing praise on both of his political allies.

The Intern SpotlightPosted by: | Comments
In today's post, meet Ed Page, current Peppercom intern, future PR pro and visitor from across the pond.
1. Tell us about yourself—where did you go to school, where are you from and what brought you to Peppercom and public relations?
I am one of the many Ed's at Peppercom, but the only British one! I am from London, England but live in Henley-On-Thames, a small town by the river Thames in Oxfordshire; famously known for its annual Royal Regatta and cameo in The Social Network. I am a student at the University of Nottingham majoring in American Studies, but a year ago I crossed the pond to go to college in the middle of a corn field, the University of Illinois in Champaign, on an exchange program for 10 months. There I studied a variety of modules such as marketing, journalism, advertising and even got involved with a weekly painting class. During my 10 months at the University of Illinois, I was fortunate enough to join the Illinois branch of the American Advertising Federation (AAF).
While there, I was fortunate enough to gain insight into the world of public relations, marketing and advertising. The membership included placement days, visits to various agencies in Chicago and weekly talks from various notables in the industry. It was these placements and visits to the agencies in Chicago that ultimately ignited my interest and curiosity into the world of Public Relations. It was not however until a family ski trip to Utah with one of Peppercom's clients in February that I discovered and learned more about the company. Within three weeks I was on a plane to New York for what I thought would be a 20 minute interview, it turned into an hour long conversation with Mr. Ed Moed, Peppercom's co-founder and the rest is history as they say. It also didn't hurt that I was wearing a pair of trousers covered in tiny skulls which I think the Peppercom Intern Committee enjoyed quite a lot.
2. What area of the industry do you find the most appealing and why?
I am particularly fond of event planning and that is where a lot of my past experience lies. Coming from an artistic background I am also greatly drawn to the marketing and creative side of PR. I have enjoyed working on a variety of projects thus far from brainstorming and discussing marketing initiatives to gaining insight through H20–Peppercom's in-house creative department.
3. Any surprises or revelations about the industry?
Prior to working at Peppercom, I would have always said I wanted to focus my efforts on entertainment PR. However, since working at Peppercom, I have realized the extent of how public relations dominates the world in so many different sectors and markets. One of the best things about working at Peppercom and the industry so far has been the interaction with a plethora of clients from all different spheres. I particularly enjoy working with our clients in the financial sector which I never would have thought I would. I have also come to learn that no day is the same in the PR world which is very exciting; the industry is extremely fast paced and you never know what might occur on any given day. From a crisis popping up to your pitching efforts resulting in a published story, the PR world is a multi-faceted and diverse arena.
4. Tell us about your proudest moment in the internship program so far.
My proudest moment so far definitely has to be the third day of my internship, the saying "being thrown in at the deep end" is an understatement to say the least. It was a Friday night and one of our clients had a major event the following week and there was still a lot to get organized, myself along with my fellow intern Nicole, stayed until 1 AM putting together various documents that were crucial to the event running smoothly. My initial reaction when the clock struck midnight was "Is every night going to be like this? What am I doing? Have I made a mistake getting into the PR industry" (please note that this is not the norm for this agency)? As the night came to a close and reflecting on that evening, I not only bonded with my team and got to know them, but there was a huge sense of pride and accomplishment when the job was done. The client was happy, we were happy (if not rather tired), the event ran smoothly and the client was very impressed.
5. Any favorite/inspiring case studies? (This does not have to be limited to Peppercom)
One of my favorite case studies has to be SPOUT: Connecting With Film Lovers. SPOUT is a unique online film community and it came to Peppercom as it needed to drive traffic to its Web site and encourage new members to join. Being a film-buff myself, I was fascinated to see the work Peppercom did in driving circulation, buzz and obtaining great media coverage surrounding SPOUT; over 5,000 New Yorkers and film enthusiasts subsequently got involved. I find it fascinating how buzz surrounding a company can snowball and traffic grow as a result.
Impress me. Impress me not.Posted by: | Comments
I don't do this often, but once in a while a resume will come through and I notice a very large error(s)—this is where the "I don't do this often bit" comes in—and will respond to the potential candidate to let them know. Now, I am a stickler for consistency and grammar on resumes, but errors I am referencing are ones that are unforgivable and shouldn't allow you to be hired anywhere even if you fix the mistake. Sometimes I feel particularly bad and want to let the candidate know before sending it to more potential employers.
Unfortunately, this happened the other day and it is something that would make me never consider this candidate for an internship ever . . . but only because of the way it unfolded.
After a note from the candidate asking if we required a writing sample, I responded and also let this person know that our deadline was that day, but would be happy to take a look even if it was a day or two after our posted deadline. This person immediately sent a resume and cover letter—both filled with errors.
I'm not sure why, but I felt for this person and let them know about one particularly large (and noticeable) error. My mistake.
The person wrote me back immediately, letting me know that he was under "a lot of stress" and corrected ME on something. Defensively saying "Oh, by the way . . . you're wrong," is not the way to impress someone who was trying to help you.
Had he thanked me and sent back a resume with the correction, I may have considered him a viable candidate. Even if he had thanked me for alerting him to a mistake that will prevent him from being hired anywhere, I may have reconsidered. Everyone makes mistakes whether or not they like to admit it, which is why despite being a stickler, I can be a bit forgiving.
This person's cover letter noted that they had applied to "countless jobs to no avail." I get that, but two things:
- Never put that in your cover letter or say that out loud to anyone outside of your mom.
- If no one is contacting you at all, that's a big hint that the issue might be with you.
If you're applying to a number of jobs and not even getting a response, sometimes it is just a factor of the very competitive job market right now. Alternatively, it could mean that you should tap some specialists to check your resume and/or cover letter. This is when you should go to your career services department at school or even a friend (if you've already graduated, many schools are still more than happy to help even just look a resume over).
I will tell you that if a potential employer encourages you to make an edit, you should apply those corrections and resend. The wrong way to respond is with a bad attitude.
Impress me not.
How would you have handled that situation? Any other tips for this candidate?
An Uncorporate ImagePosted by: | Comments
Guest post by Kendyl Wright – Fellow Peppercommer and "Uncorporate" Senior Account Executive. This post was originally published on RepMan (posted on 8/3/12).
When I moved to NYC in 2006, I had big dreams and expectations of PR greatness. I took a job immediately with one of the world's biggest PR firm and set out to succeed in the corporate world. Since this blog is about reputations, I will say that this firm had one of the best "corporate" reputations in the public relations industry.
The CEO was responsible for giving Coca-Cola the infamous classic tagline. I should have been in PR heaven. But as my resume will quickly tell you, I was not. I left after six months and moved to a midsize, privately owned firm. I was much happier and felt that this firm fit my work style so much better. But as young New Yorkers often do, I was lured back to a big firm almost 3 years later by the client list, the promise of more money and the appeal of running some of PR's biggest launch events. About 2 weeks in, it clicked. I am UNCORPORATE.
It would take me 2 more years, another job and a 5 month sabbatical to land at Peppercom. When my friend Rebecca asked to submit my resume, I hesitated. "I don't want to work at a PR firm. I hate everything about them," I told her time and time again. After a little convincing on her part, (and a lot on my parents' part…where I had been "temporarily" crashing during my time off) I decided to take a job at Peppercom.
We talk about image crises a lot in the PR world, but we rarely talk about the culture image of our own firms. Based on my experiences, and those of various friends and colleagues within the industry, corporate life inside the walls of most PR firms is less than encouraging.
In an industry centered around communication and creativity, there's little brainstorming, less collaboration and not a whole lot of fun. I have friends that work at agencies big & small all over the country and they have countless horror stories of account management, career support and day-to-day lifestyle. I can't tell you how many times I've heard "I'm just over PR. There's nothing I like about going to work." It makes me sad that our industry is so corporate and cold. Why is it that we consistently hear about the creative and inspiring cultures at ad agencies, but PR environments are structured more like banks and law firms?
Two days after I started at Peppercom, the agency hosted our annual "Uncorporate Challenge," a fun run followed by a happy hour. The slogan of this challenge is "Peppercom – Keeping it Uncorporate since 1995." Over the next few weeks, those knots in my stomach about working for another PR firm started to subside – I knew I had found a home. And while the out of work activities we have here are definitely fun, it's my day to day uncorporate experience that has helped me embrace PR again.
Over the past year, I have learned that just because you have the big client names doesn't mean you have the best job. I've learned that working at a place that values the individual and encourages them to flourish as they are is a wonderful and amazing thing. I've learned what it means to have a team, in every sense of the word. What it's like to collaborate and trust those team members and be proud of the work you accomplished together. There's very little individual blame at Peppercom, and for an industry that seems to always pass the buck, that's pretty incredible.
I've learned that there are managers who listen to you and encourage growth in the areas you are passionate about. I've learned that it is possible for the most senior people at a company to know your name and actually care about what happens to you as an individual. But most of all, I've learned what it's like to love coming to work each day. I do better work, I'm a better person and most of all, I don't miss "corporate" life at all.
The Intern SpotlightPosted by: | Comments
In today's post, meet Jonathan Salm, current Business Outcomes intern with Peppercom's Business Intelligence Group.
1) Tell us about yourself—where did you go to school, where are you from and what brought you to Peppercom?
I am from Lakeland, Fla., and currently live in Lexington, Va., where I will be a senior at Washington and Lee University (W&L). I am majoring in English and am a philosophy minor, but I've been able to take a wide variety of classes as a part of W&L's liberal arts curriculum. I've taken courses in Latin, formal logic, philosophy of law and even a miserable semester of calculus. I've also spent some time in W&L's C-school (school of commerce, economics and politics), where I was in an awesome marketing class last year. In that class we worked on a full-fledged marketing campaign for the National Student Advertising Competition and were divided into teams based upon our skills and interests. I was on the media planning team and was personally in charge of feedback, measurement and evaluation. When my professor forwarded our class an email the Business Outcomes internship at Peppercom, it sounded like it would be a great fit for me. And so far, it has been!
2) Explain what Business Outcomes is.
Business Outcomes is a division of Peppercom's Business Intelligence Group. In this industry, firms like Peppercom help companies to form and push out their respective messages. However, the amount of influence and the type of message is hard to quantify. That is where Business Outcomes comes in. By analyzing data and using a flexible algorithmic scoring system, the Business Outcomes team has created a verifiable way to measure success and identify "white space" areas of opportunity. To achieve this we measure the quality and quantity of share of voice and public responses using different analytic variables. With these results, the Business Outcomes team provides benchmarks for success and prescriptive strategies for the future.
3) How does your division and work fit in with the rest of the agency and clients?
Business Outcomes is an additional service that Peppercom offers on top of public relations work. Some companies want the extra service and analysis that Business Outcomes offers, while others may not be interested. Right now, the Business Outcomes team works with a number of Peppercom's clients.
4) What attracted you to this type of work?
During my internship search, I applied for positions with companies in the marketing, advertising, and public relations fields. What really attracted me to the Peppercom Business Outcomes internship was the division's focus on the "why" of PR. Why are certain messages successful? What kind of messages are more successful than others? And how do different media forms affect these messages? These questions are what Business Outcomes seeks to answer. As an English major and philosophy minor (which might seem at the opposite end of the analytical spectrum), I am continually asked to analyze stories, novels, essays, etc. While postmodern novels and PR messages are quite different, the methods for analyzing and understanding both are exactly the same. The more I thought about it, the more similar this job and my background seemed. Additionally, my strong computer skills (particularly in excel) helped me hit the ground running once I began.
5) Tell us about your proudest and/or favorite moment of your internship so far.
It was definitely finishing a special project for a Peppercom client. We were asked to analyze every single traditional media hit for a competitor over the course of an entire year. Our search gave us somewhere around 6,000 total hits that we had to read through, sort into buckets, and analyze under a deadline. Thanks to lots of hard work from the Business Outcomes team and the help of a few of my fellow interns, we were able to get it done accurately and on time. It was a great feeling to see the finished presentation after all of the work we put into it.

Camouflage and ComedyPosted by: | Comments
Today's featured post was written by Nicole Hall, current Peppercom intern and future PR star. This post was originally published on The Stand Up Executive (posted on 7/27/12).
In a culture where everyone is required to dress the same, act the same and sport the same haircut, how are you supposed to practice authenticity?
Before working at Peppercom, I performed media relations and event planning for a Marine Corps organization. I worked mainly with the junior Marines and heard many accounts of their overseas escapades and barracks shenanigans. My favorite is probably their attempt at parachuting off their three-story barracks roof during Hurricane Irene (I didn't say they used their free time wisely). But what all of these Marines had in common was their ability to be completely uncensored and authentic, both with me and each other. Last Halloween, I planned a short trip for a small group of Marines to see a haunted battleship. At the beginning of the trip, there were two distinct groups of friends who were attending. But after a couple of hours of exchanging funny stories on the road and laughing at the terrible actors on the ship, they were all hanging out together by the end of the night.
From that raw authenticity is how they develop relationships that carry into their workdays and combat situations.
It probably comes as no surprise that enlisting in the military is cited as the most stressful job of 2012. Aside from the obvious stress factors that are associated with overseas deployments, war zones, training and weapons, service members also experience the same situations as we do in our corporate jobs: impressing the boss, working for promotions, being on time, etc.
As mentioned in a previous blog post, comedy doesn't necessarily belong in all situations, and the military is one of these examples. That doesn't mean, however, that they can't practice comedy outside of their camouflage.
When Marines spend time outside of their uniforms, they have the chance to practice comedy which forms bonds that carry into the field. Living a lifestyle constantly defined by rank and a strict adherence to protocol, it is critical that Marines get the chance to laugh often and be able to express themselves in less stressful environments.
Even though practicing comedy outside of work is effective for the military, it does not mean this is the right mindset for a corporate culture. You don't want your employees to only enjoy themselves outside of work. And you don't want to run your business like a military institution—there's a reason that only a small percentage of Americans choose that environment.
Do your employees practice comedy at work? Or is it encouraged to keep all personal interaction outside of the workplace?

I WAS amused by your report on Jeremy Corbyn's faux pas regarding the status of the Scottish legal system (ie not knowing that it is already completely different and separate from the English system – one being based on precedence and the other on the principles of Roman law like most other systems in Europe).
And then, on Friday, you reported on Corbyn's advocacy of a federal arrangement for the governance of the UK (Gordon MacIntyre-Kemp: It's federalism or bust for the next Labour leader, The National, September 1).
These two issues are related. The independence of the Scottish legal system is the most compelling reason why a federal system for the UK could not possibly function properly. In the UK, there would be no legislature in the whole Union which could administer the ENGLISH legal system, without either generating anomalies relating to the position of Scottish MPs at Westminster, (and potentially stripping Westminster of its responsibility for that legal system), or splitting the English legal systems into five or six different legal systems.
Some time ago I wrote a letter to another newspaper to make that point. They published it, but also published an attempted rebuttal which asked me how Canada was able to have provincial legal systems – with the one in Quebec operating under the Code Napoleon. I did the research which the paper and its correspondent had not done. Canada has only one criminal law, which is administered by the federal government in Ottawa. The several legal systems administered by the Canadian provinces are civil legal systems, under which any legal arrangement usually involves the signing of a contract that tells us the civil law which will apply.
Felons do not usually sign a contract which tells us how they can be prosecuted. The newspaper in question somehow forgot to publish my second letter explaining all that.

MANY thanks to Monsieur Philippe Lamberts for saying Nicola Sturgeon should be included in the Brexit talks. I hope he is able to persuade many other MEPs that the UK Government does not speak for all its citizens. I hope, too, that such a group would act to prevent Westminster from using Scottish fishing and farming as pawns to be negotiated away for the sake of London interests.
Scotland needs all the friends she can muster in Europe at a time when the Conservative Party is denying us one of our six representatives in the European Parliament because of internal squabbles. Effectively, we are now down to four MEPs, as David Coburn of Ukip does not stand up for Scotland.
Ann Rayner
SCOTTISH Conservative leader Ruth Davidson wants to see thousands of new council houses across Scotland. It is a call I am sure is echoed by many others, but a call from a Conservative in Scotland for more social housing is surely a bit hypocritical (Ruth Davidson's plan for 25,000 new homes a year labelled 'height of hypocrisy', The National, September 1).
The Conservatives were the party who allowed thousands of council homes to be sold off in Scotland in the 1980s, a policy we are still suffering the consequences of today (currently being extended in England) and a policy which the SNP Government in Scotland has rightly abolished.
Not satisfied with diminishing the council housing stock in Scotland, the Conservatives have taken housing benefit away from 18 to 25-year-olds, making it impossible for many to afford housing if they are in zero-hour contracts or in low-paid jobs. Does Ms Davidson suggest by her call that this be reinstated?

I HAVE to admit that there are times when, in spite of all the progress and the achievements of the nationalist cause during my life-time, I come close to despair. Most recently, at a typical Edinburgh middle-class gathering, I overheard a conversation in which one lady, speaking of Scotland, said simply: "Well, of course there is no such place."
As I was not part of the group I did not feel able to intervene. In any case I was momentarily stunned by such a bizarre world view. But later, when I was assured by another gentleman, a Scots lawyer forsooth, that "Scotland doesn't actually have an economy", I was able to correct him with some facts.
However, the interesting thing about this gathering of Unionists was the general mood of political disillusionment that prevailed. Several indeed remarked that they felt unable to vote for any of the parties. While mulling over what this means, I came across the following quotation: "One of the greatest misfortunes of decent people is that they are cowards. They groan, keep quiet, have supper and forget."
Possibly nothing will inspire such people to build a new Scotland. Still, we have to keep trying, by example and by argument, to educate and convert them. Though I fear that for such as these, no arguments will change them. It will take events to do that.

THE Bella Caledonia magazine has surpassed itself this month, with such a wide-ranging scope of articles, I wouldn't know where to start with a response. But to answer Sara Sheridan's question ("Are you a witch or a bitch?") I know I'm often called a bitch, but I do so love my witchy moments!

Ok so maybe John O'Grady doesn't have fifty thousand endorsements- but it sure seems like that given the number of damn emails I've received from him lately.
Not just emails- also facebook friend invites, phone calls and crap I received in the mail…
- O'Grady endorsed by ODP Chairman Chris Redfern: Jan 16
- O'Grady, Goodwin trade endorsements: Jan 24
- Former U.S., Ohio Treasurer Mary Ellen Withrow endorsed O'Grady: Jan 28
- Treasurer Cordray endorses John O'Grady: Jan 29
- Former ODP Chairs back O'Grady: Jan 30
etc., etc.
I get it. EVERYONE is endorsing John O'Grady for Franklin County Commissioner.
All of the big names in Ohio Democratic politics – most of them non-Franklin County residents – are getting behind John as THE Democratic candidate for county commissioner. And I had to get an email every time each one did.
Honestly, the barrage of endorsements has started to turn me away from O'Grady- and toward Lazarus.
But the thing that really solidified my support for the underdog candidate in this primary race was a post I saw over at BSB today titled "The Lazarus-Dispatch Endorsement Swindle" in which Jerid accuses the Columbus Dispatch of violating "nearly every tenet of journalistic integrity by granting their endorsement to Cindy Lazarus without even offering a screening interview to John O'Grady."
I like Jerid- I really do- and I agree with his opinion on a lot of things. But I read that endorsement in the Dispatch- and I think the editors clearly defined the reasons for their decision: O'Grady's "resume and performance do not stack up to Lazarus."
There were no quotes from the Lazarus camp OR O'Grady's people- they didn't need to do any interviews. The decision was made only on the quality of the candidates' resumes and NOT on the quantity of their previous endorsements.
In short: Lazarus has twenty years of leadership experience in Franklin County- serving as a councilwoman (and council president) and then as a judge – while O'Grady spent only seven years as the clerk of the Franklin County Common Pleas Court.
And that alone seems like an acceptable reason to endorse a candidate.
I have nothing against O'Grady- I'm sure he's a great guy and would/will make a great commissioner.
But, honestly, I'm sick of hearing from/about him. And I hate people telling me what to do.
Had I received one or two emails that explained his qualifications and the issues important to Mr. O'Grady- I certainly would have considered voting for the guy- or, at the very least, not voting against him.
But now I am now officially voting for Cindy Lazarus and it's for the same reason I am voting for Barack Obama: the presumptive candidate pisses me off.
The best part is: my vote will actually count since I live in Franklin County- unlike Redfern and Jerid and the rest of the pro-O'Grady folks.
Be sure to visit http://www.johnogrady.org for more information about John's campaign. There is also a link to our campaign blog, which discusses the broad-based support John has received from folks across Franklin County.
Modern Esquire
I keep hearing overtones that Lazarus is a DINO. But I'm in SWO, so I don't know what to believe. Never seen so much attention for a Democratic primary in a county commissioner race.
I agree. I keep waiting for the email telling me Bill Clinton or Howard Dean is supporting O'Grady!
Cindy Lazarus is sincere in her beliefs and decent. Spend ten minutes talking with her, and you'll see that she's a true progressive. Cindy works well with people from other viewpoints because she's just a nice person!
On March 4th…Go Cindy!!
Also, I live in Franklin County. Cindy has great grassroots support here!!
For once you actually made sense WOW
Thanks, Cornell.
Personally, I think I make sense most of the time.
But what the hell- I'll take the compliments where I can get them.

Thank you
Jean Watson is one of the few nursing theorists to consider not only the care of the client, but the Caregiver as well.
"We are the light in institutional darkness, and in this model we get to return to the light of our humanity."
In plain English, Watson's theory is about mindful, in the moment, commited caring for both self and patient.
Theory Of Human Caring
a conceptual model that encompasses
Human beings
4 elements are needed for the concepts of the theory:
1. Transpersonal caring relationship
2. Caring moment/ occasion
3. Caring/healing conciousness
4. Clinical Caritas processes
Leading to her philisophical claim
"Human Caring is the moral ideal of nursing and the ultimate goal of nursing is to protect, enhance and preserve human dignity and humanity"
*"human beings and environment as a field of connectedness"
"a unity and harmony within the mind, body, and soul. It is a degree of congruence between the self as perceived and the self as experienced"
"human science discipline and an art, as well as an academic clinical profession"
Nursing Paradigm
*"a unity of mind-body-spirit/nature"
*a being in the world that involves 3 spheres of existence all of which are influenced by the concept of self who is unique and free to make choices.
Key Concepts
* illness is defined as subjective turmoil within the person's inner self or disharmony within the 3 spheres mind, body and soul of the person
* Health is defined as unity and harmony within the mind, body, and soul.
* Caring is the essence of nursing
* The core of nursing is the nurse-patient relationships that result in a therapeutic outcome.
How theory addresses nursing education
Key Concepts:
Key Concepts
Caring is a moral ideal involving mind, body, soul engagement between nurse-patient

Lets see Watson's theory in action!
*Guidelines for putting Love/Heart-Centered Caring practice into action
Many are familiar with some of these Ten Caritas Processes without even knowing since many are standards of care. We daily used these processes whether working at a ambulating clinic, long-term care facility, or acute care hospital.
Promote and accept positive and negative feelings as you authentically listen to another's story
: the use of therapeutic communication because nurse is accountable to client when safety and well being is compromised
Develop helping – trusting- caring relationships
: when Advocating for PT and having client participate in decision making.
Use creative scientific problem-solving methods for caring decision making
: Using EBP to provide best PT care
Share teaching and learning that addresses the individual needs and comprehension styles:
Educate to prevent or help treat health issues
Daily Practice
Watson's theory of human caring and caring science was incorporated into leadership practices to create changes in the workplace to allow time for employees to pause, reflect, and refocus in order to promote a positive environment and patient care (Cattolico, 2012, P.53).
• Employees do a "caring reflection" of practice used based
on Watson's theory
• Daily caring check-ins (huddles) to allow time for reflection and setting intentions before PT care.
• Caritas bulletin board highlighting a caritas process
each month, examples of how employees are
practicing that process, definitions of various words
within caring science.
dry erase boards in patient rooms—changing
the language from daily goal to asking patient, "What
is most important to you today?" (Cattolico, 2012, p. 53).
• Distribution of the Embody Caritas lanyards for
contemplation before entering a patient room(
Medical-Surgical Unit at Einstein Healthcare in Philadelphia
long-term care
Ambulatory Care
Acute Care
Rehabilitation center/skilled nursing facility
one study conducted with rehabilitation nurses explored the meaning of the experience of "being with" the patient as central to caring relationships and the nurses' perception of the contribution of this experience to the patient's rehabilitation ( O'Reilly, 2010, p.75).
Results conducted with 25 patients in the rehabilitation center applying Watson's (2008) model as a nursing philosophy were positive.
(O'Reilly, et al., 2010) the patients mentioned that "being with" the nurse increased their feeling of well-being, security, confidence, and being nurtured and supported, as well as teaching them how to increase their autonomy. Thus, results indicate that the experience of "being with" the nurse fosters holistic healing within the rehabilitation process (O'Reilly, 2010, p.75).
Ingeresoll (2010) states that in an Adult Outpatient Chemotherapy Center they use Music as a Caring/Healing Modality in Nurse-Patient Interactions (P.70)
Ingeresoll (2010) claims Nurses used music as a caring-healing modality to establish "caring moments" during nurse-patient interactions and thus reconnect with the core values of their profession (p. 70).
1. embrace altruistic values & Practice loving kindness with self & others.
2. Instill faith & hope & honor others.
3. Be sensitive to self & others by nurturing individual beliefs & practices.
4. Develop helping-trusting-caring relationships.
5. Promote & accept positive & negative feelings as you authentically listen to another's story.
8. Create a healing environment for the physical & spiritual self, which respects human dignity.
9. Assist with basic physical, emotional, & spiritual human needs.
is a greek term meaning to cherish, appreciate, give special attention to & values as precious
10. Opening to mystery & Allowing miracles to enter.

Theory was devloped between 1975-1979 while teaching at university of colorado
"it emerged from my own
views of nursing, combined and informed by my doctoral studies in
educational-clinical and social psychology. It was my initial attempt to
bring meaning and focus to nursing as an emerging discipline and distinct
health profession with its own unique values, knowledge and practices,
with its own ethic and mission to society. The work also was influenced by
my involvement with an integrated academic nursing curriculum and
efforts to find common meaning and order to nursing that transcended
settings, populations, specialty, subspecialty areas, and so forth."
6. Creatively using self and all ways of knowing as part of the caring processes
7. Engaging in genuine teaching-learning experiences that attend to unity of being and meaning.

This is what a good blogging day looks like. Day one of Plunderbund 2.0 was an absolute success. We tripled our normal traffic. We were able to get 4 of the 5 main bloggers active, crank out 18 posts, and get this thing kicked off right. We also got Amber involved, which was great. More on that – and other possible new additions – coming soon.
Like the Fab Four, we're going to be ripping and running and causing much mischief. We may not post 18 tomorrow – we were a bit excited today – but things are sure to be ramped up here big time ongoing. Thanks to everyone who visited, commented, became a fan on Facebook, followed us on Twitter, and a special thanks to those who sent us private notes of support. We appreciate it all and will do our best to keep rockin' it.
With that we rest. It's been a hard day's night:
PS – One of the things we are going to bring back is the longstanding PB Late Night Theatre. It's fun. It breaks the political monotony. It's old school PB. We're glad to hear what you'd like to see/hear. We try to make them topical to the day or week. Send your requests to email@example.com

To understand all the info above, check out our Site Facts Glossary.
Grades have no direct impact on the overall score.
Girlfriend Orgasms is an amateur "user-submitted" type site with thousands of videos and photo sets and access to a bonus network as well. But is it as good as it sounds? Well, let me walk you through it.
Lots of Content and Frequent Updates
As I write this there are 3,937 videos and 1,641 photo sets and they are growing at a nice rate as well. The dates suggest a new video every day or two and a new photo set every 1-7 days.
True-to-Theme Amateur Action
This large collection is filled with amateur teens and coeds. These chicks masturbate a lot with all kinds of toys, but when they can get dick they are more than willing to feel the real thing inside them. The productions are very amateur as well.
Network Access
There are over 30 bonus sites as part of The GF Network, including the likes of Badass Girlfriends, GF Loves Anal and My Alternative GF.
Not User-Submitted or Exclusive
The claim that these are all girlfriends and ex-girlfriends is obviously exaggerated. First off, most of the content is solo and it's mostly recorded webcam shows (which is why I don't think it is exclusive either). Sure, these chicks are probably the ex-girlfriends of someone, but the idea that these videos were recorded for their boyfriends and have somehow arrived online isn't something I believe.
Low Video Quality
I guess with webcams vids and made-at-home amateur scenes you might not be expecting Full HD videos and if that is the case then you might be okay with the average-looking videos Girlfriend Orgasms is offering.
Dated Interface & Limited Pagination
The site design is dated and there are a bunch of banners and ads with moving images that can be quite annoying and distracting. As for the navigation, the main issue is that there are over 70 pages of photos and more than 160 pages of videos, but you can only skip ahead 10 pages at a time when navigating them. That means it will take you at least seven clicks to get through the photos and 16 to see the last video page. That is just too much clicking.
Minor Negatives:
A large collection, but an average site.
There is a lot of content here, but it's nonexclusive recorded webcam shows and made-at-home content and it's all pretty average in quality. The bonus sites add more to the sheer volume available, but it still isn't a site I would really recommend.
