More details as to why the federal government did not wait for the court to give its verdict on the suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria Walter Onnoghen emerged in Abuja on Saturday, January 26.
According to Punch, Justice Onnoghen was expected to officially set up on Saturday a panel of judges (250 in number) that will preside over the conduct of the forthcoming general elections. Revealing that the said judges had arrived Abuja hoping that the panel would be inaugurated, a source said: "There are a total of 250 members who would sit on the election panels. The panels comprise National Assembly Election Petition Tribunals, Governorship Election Petition Tribunals, and State Assembly Election Petition Tribunals. "His sudden removal was aimed at either stopping the event or removing some judges on the lists. That is what will happen."
It was further gathered that newsmen were prevented from gaining access into the residence of Walter Onnoghen by security officials. Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) on Friday, January 25, decried the suspension of Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Walter Onnoghen, and referred to it as a coup against the judiciary. The NBA, through its president, Paul Usoro, in a statement made available to Legit.ng, equated the move by the federal government to the suspension of the nation's constitution, adding that the appointment of the new acting CJN, Ibrahim Tanko cannot be upheld. The statement partly read: "The Nigerian Bar Association unequivocally rejects and condemns this attempted coup against the Nigerian Judiciary and evident suspension of the Nigerian Constitution by the Executive arm of the Federal Government."

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Mar. 28, 2005 - Underscoring the tremendous demand for the most-advanced operating system in the industry, Sun Microsystems, Inc. (Nasdaq: SUNW) today announced that it has distributed more than one million registered licenses for the Solaris 10 Operating System (OS) since Jan. 31, when the software became available on Sun's Web site. Sun also announced that the Solaris 10 OS has set fourteen world-record benchmarks in this same timeframe and demonstrated application performance improvements greater than 50 times that of previous versions of Solaris.
"The interest in Solaris 10 has exceeded our highest expectations - this is a significant milestone for Sun," said Tom Goguen, vice president, Operating Platforms Group, Sun Microsystems. "We're seeing approximately one download per second and our Solaris 10 customers and partners are achieving huge performance gains when leveraging powerful new features like Dynamic Tracing and Containers."
Performance Continues To Spur Demand For Solaris 10
Earning 14 world-record performance results to date, Solaris 10 is delivering breakthrough performance and price/performance for customers across vertical market segments from financial services to telecommunications. With technology advances such as enhancements to the network stack and special optimizations for multithreaded SPARC(R) processors and x64/x86 architectures, Solaris 10 is powering enterprise applications at record speeds on Sun Fire systems and Sun Java Workstations.
The newest 2-way 64-bit Java Virtual Machine (JVM) world record on the SPECjbb2000 benchmark, which measures the implementation of the JVM software, as well as the performance of the underlying operating system and the scalability of the system's processors and memory, demonstrates that Solaris 10 can deliver better results than Linux. The SPECjbb2000 testing was performed on a Sun Fire V20z server, one of a range of systems available from Sun which are powered by the latest AMD Opteron processors, Model 252 with Direct Connect Architecture.(1) The results were achieved using the new Sun Studio 10 compiler software, which also delivers outstanding performance when developing C, C++ and FORTRAN applications for Solaris 10.
Additionally, Sun and BEA achieved new world record performance of 4220.39 TOPS@DualNode on the industry-standard SPECjAppServer2002 benchmark. This result on the powerful 24-way Sun Fire E6900 servers with UltraSPARC IV 1.2GHz processors delivered more than twice the performance of the proprietary HP Itanium result in this category. The SPECjAppServer benchmark is designed to test Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) that is often used as a standard platform for development of portable, scalable, multi-tier enterprise applications.

Sodium Metal when treated with ethyne forms mono and di sodiumethynide why doesn't lithium ?
$\begingroup$ Related: Why are lithides not known? $\endgroup$ – andselisk♦ Aug 5 '17 at 17:47
1$\begingroup$ @andselisk I'm not asking about lithides. In mono sodium ethynide sodium has a positive charge $\endgroup$ – Serotonin Aug 6 '17 at 3:46
$\begingroup$ It looks like it does form monolithium ethynide, which should also react to form dilithium ethynide. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/047084289X.rl035.pub2/… $\endgroup$ – Tyberius Aug 6 '17 at 3:58
$\begingroup$ @Tyberius Yep! You're right en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetylide anyways I asked because my school textbook was saying lithium does not form Acetylide $\endgroup$ – Serotonin Aug 6 '17 at 4:10
$\begingroup$ See my answer. It would be clear. $\endgroup$ – Nilay Ghosh Aug 6 '17 at 4:12
Sodium alkynide was formed by reacting sodium and acetylene but in case of lithium alkynide, it can be formed by reacting acetylene with organolithium reagents like BuLi, Lithium amide, LiHMDS. From wikipedia:
Lithium amide, LiHMDS, or organolithium reagents, such as butyllithium, are frequently used form lithium acetylides:
$\ce{H-C#C-H + BuLi ->[THF][-78℃] Li -#-H + BuH}$
The above process is well described in this paper which @Tyberius linked in the comment section.

Name: Luna-1
Type: Location/City
Status: EuroCorp-Controlled
Hypnos-Rating: 0
Luna-1 is the first and primary colony on the moon, entirely owned and operated by EuroCorp, it has no oversight from any of Earth's nations. The colony is mostly self-sufficient and hosts a variety of projects, including deep-space telescopes, mining facilities, research(HEWG in particular test some of their more destructive concoctions on the Moon, adding more craters to its face every day) and of course it also has some telescopes pointed at Earth.
Several rumours constantly circulate that Luna-1 is some sort of final bunker for EuroCorp if things go to hell on Earth, that they're going to vaporize everything from there, wait for the dust to settle and then hop down again to reclaim it all. These claims are consistently dismissed as lunacy.
The colony was founded in 2089, and in 2100 they opened up for tourist business. So far it remains a luxury for the extremely rich and bored. Luna also hosts repair facilities and resupply shuttles for the Orbital Gauntlet.

VOITH AG is committed to a strategy of steadily increasing its role in the worldwide traction market. At its 'Fit for the Future' customer day in Würzburg, Voith Turbo set out its ambition to deliver all components needed for propulsion, including drive shafts and axle gears.
The company is seeking to co-operate with all rolling stock manufacturers, particularly in eastern Europe, Asia and maybe Australia. It is prepared to provide engineering assistance to allow train builders to undertake local production of parts for Voith Powerpacks. Voith is aiming to establish a standard six-month delivery time for its products, and plans to service its hydraulic transmissions throughout a 40-year life span.
The Voith Turbo division has diversified considerably since introducing the Powerpack range three years ago (RG 2.04 p106). New this time was the LRVPack for applications of up to 320 kW. Based on a reinforced hydro-mechanical DIWA bus transmission with MAN 2876, Iveco Cursor 10 or Deutz BF4M bus engines, the company says the LRVPack will run for 600 000 km without overhaul. Interest has been expressed by potential operators of diesel light rail vehicles in the USA.
To be launched in 2008, SmartPack is based on the new Turbosmart hydraulic transmission for applications up to 350 kW. Around 2010, SmartPack will replace ShortPack with the T111 hydraulic transmission suitable for use with MAN 2876 or Cummins M11 engines. The Deutz BF6 and MTU R1800 engines could also be employed.
Railpack is based on the T211/T212 bre turbo transmission range of 250 to 450 kW, and is designed for MAN 2842/2876, Deutz BF6M/BF8ML, Iveco V8 or Caterpillar C18H engines. Alstom Ferroviaria and PESA are the biggest customers so far, ordering 212 and 75 packages respectively.
Higher ratings are offered by Turbopack, based on T311/312 bre transmissions and MAN 2842 V12, Cummins QSK19 or Iveco V8 engines to offer a power range up to 650 kW. Siemens took delivery of 156 Turbopacks for use on the 51 three-car Class 185 Desiro DMUs supplied to British operator TransPennine Express to work fast inter-regional services over hilly routes. Rotem's 2004 order to supply 120 suburban DMU cars to Iran requires a further 60 units. The hydraulic transmissions are intended to run for 1·2 to 1·8 million km between overhauls.
Fuel efficiency
Voith Turbo has set itself the goal of being the uncontested leader in fuel efficiency in the 2 000 kW+ power range.
The company's L620 reU2 locomotive transmission for up to 2 700 kW delivers an efficiency of 87·5% at full load, 86·2% at half load and 84·4% at 30% load. Voith Turbo is keen to point out that hydraulic transmissions are now equal in efficiency to diesel-electric drives. However, one customer compared his experience with a Vossloh G2000 diesel-hydraulic loco powered by a 2 240 kW Caterpillar engine with similar operations using a Siemens ER20 diesel-electric loco fitted with a 2 000 kW MTU engine. Running the same trains with the same drivers on the same track, the diesel-hydraulic loco consistently used 2 000 litres of fuel compared to 1 850 litres for the diesel-electric. Voith responded that it would examine these results in more detail.
A new development which will be launched on the market next year is the T/TP211 e range of transmissions. The T211 e drives the bogies in a straight line, whereas the TP211 e includes a 180º turn (Fig 1). This range is targeted at the replacement of the 1365 DIWA dhm transmissions including those used on the 348 first generation Regio-Shuttle railcars. Voith anticipates that the maintenance interval will be increased to three times that achieved with the DIWA drives.
The next major development will be ready in 2009, the TurboFlexx L530 bre U2 transmission intended for the 1 000 to 1 700 kW medium-power range (Fig 2). This will be available with a split transmission, enabling each bogie to be driven separately.
Questions of power
Discussions in Würzburg turned to Voith Turbo Lokomotivtechnik, and its Maxima 40CC locomotive which has an ABC V16 engine rated at 3 600 kW at 1 000 rev/min and a TurboFlexx LS640 re U2 split transmission (RG 7.06 p402).
It is anticipated that EBA will grant approval later this year for the Kiel-built loco to operate on the German network, but the big question is where customers will be found for this powerful machine. EMD and GE diesel-electric locomotives with these outputs have already appeared in North America (RG 7.06 p389), where Canadian Pacific and Union Pacific operated 44 EMD SD90MAC Co-Co locos with Siemens AC transmissions, rated at 4 475 kW. In 1963 Europe had Kestrel', a 2 941 kW Sulzer/Brush prototype Co-Co locomotive tested on British Rail and eventually sold to the USSR in 1971. In 1962 DB tried a 2 x 1 900 hp Henschel/Voith E320 C-C loco, but during the 1960s electrification replaced interest in such powerful diesels in Europe.
Perhaps China will be interested in the loco, which is estimated to have cost Voith more than k50m to develop.
Efficient braking
In the 1960s Voith introduced hydrodynamic braking as part of the trend for more powerful braking. The growing need to be more economical with energy has now set Voith along three routes for further development.
In the Ecopack, which was displayed at InnoTrans in Berlin last September, braking energy is used to drive a hydrostatic pump and motor from the secondary part of the turbo transmission, pressurising hydraulic oil in accumulators. The energy thus stored is used to accelerate the train after a stop, without the diesel engine running. Energy savings of up to 15% have been calculated for the Ecopack.
A completely different way of saving energy is to use exhaust gases and cooling water for traction and heating purposes. In partnership with the Fraunhofer Institute and the technical universities of Dresden, Graz and Karlsruhe, Voith has developed two variations. These are known as SteamDrive and SteamTrac, but despite the names there is no water involved, as special fluids have been used to avoid earlier problems with water quality. The closed system contains 25 litres of a medium at pressures up to 60 bar, the maximum temperature of the fluid is 350°C, and condensation occurs below 90°C.
Fig 4a illustrates the use of diesel exhaust heat to supplement transmission energy, while Fig 4b shows a planned future variant, where energy from the cooling water is converted into electrical power.
The exhaust gas passes through a vapour generator, evaporating the fluid with an expansion which is converted into mechanical power in the expander (Fig 5). The condenser forms part of the cooling liquid circuit of the engine and transmission, and the cooled liquid is collected in a tank for pumping back into the vapour generator.
SteamTrac is now being built into a Railpack, which will undergo bench tests in Hamburg during February 2008, before the first trials on a DMU car during May 2008. Voith estimates that a 10% saving in energy could be obtained if such a system were to be installed on a Maxima locomotive. Full power would be increased by 12%, and at part load 20% of the power would be delivered by the vapour system.
A very innovative development, it will only work if the components show the same availability and maintenance characteristics as the rest of the transmission and control of the system does not pose problems.

- Fig 2. Offering 1 600 kW of braking power, the future L530 bre Flexx transmission would be suitable for the 1 000 to 1 700 kW range. Also in the Flexx family is the 'small' TurboSplit transmission in the 1 200 to 2 400 kW range for four and six-axle locomotives which are under development

Well yeah, but then we'd use up all of our rocks and then we wouldn't have those, and Jay would be wondering why we didn't use brass and copper and silver for money instead of rocks. xD

A gift for those* who ascribe Irjaa' to Ulamas among Ahlus SunnahPublished by Ybose en 02:03
A gift for those* who ascribe Irjaa'
to Ulamas among Ahlus Sunnah
A gift for those* who ascribe Irjaa' to Shaikh al-Albaanee and Shaikh Rabee` and Shaikh Raslaan:
Abu al-`Abbas Ahmad bin Ja`far bin Ya`qoob al-Faarsee reported on the authority of Imaam of Ahl al-Sunnah Abu `Abdullaah Ahmad Ibn Hanbal رحمه الله that he said:
"As for the Khawaarij, then they name the Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jamaa`ah as Murji'ah. And the Khawaarij lie in their speech, rather they are the Murji'ah. They claim that no one other than them are upon Imaan and truth, and anyone who opposes them is a Kaafir."
[Tabqaat al-Hanaabilah (1/36)]
*These lies have been uttered many times by some the Ikhwaan al-Mufliseen (the bankrupt brotherhood).

This week's Drawing Challenge has asked users to draw Japanese geishas, so we're lending a helping a hand with this step by step drawing tutorial. Just as the art form of Japanese geishas is a rich and sophisticated tradition to master, drawing well takes practice. Thankfully, PicsArt Drawing Tools give you a lot of resources to simplify some of the more difficult elements of a great drawing. You just need to learn the tricks. This tutorial will show you how to create a stunning geisha drawing and clue you into some of PicsArt's coolest drawing features. Follow this tutorial and give your confidence a leg up for this week's Drawing Challenge!
We encourage you to use PicsArt's new Video Generation and Export feature to create an instant video tutorial for how you have drawn your entry and share it in Youtube tagged with #picsart #dcgeisha. We will be then featuring the best videos from the contest on our blog.
Step 1: Draw the Outline
Draw a very rough outline of your geisha, delineating her proportions and basic shape. Reduce the opacity then add a new layer. In your new layer, trace a refined final outline with clean strokes, then delete your previous outline.
Step 2: Add Colors
Add a new layer under your outline. In this new layer, color in your geisha, putting down the base colors of her face, hair, clothes, and accessories.
Step 3: Lighting & Shading
Add new layers for your lighting and shading. For broad shading, use a grey brush and shade at will, then reduce the opacity to integrate it. Do the same for the lighting with a white brush. Add streaks of bright tones for accents.
Step 4: Advanced Coloring
Add new layers again for advanced coloring. Here, you can add makeup and increase your range of color tones by adding new shades of different colors throughout your drawing.
Step 5: Color the Background
Add a layer for your background at the very bottom. Choose a background color and tap the spilling paint bucket in your layers menu to fill it with a single color.
Step 6: Final Details
Go over your geisha drawing one final time to add the finishing details. Add Japanese lanterns to your background, strings to her guitar, and whatever else you want to complete your drawing.

Safeguard Your Car: 3M Car Tint, Protection, and Repairs
3M started out as a mining company in 1907, but when the mine failed to produce the right mineral, they turned to innovation. Over the next several decades, they brought us waterproof sandpaper, masking tape, cellophane scotch tape, the Post-it note, and a number of other revolutionary products. Today, they have over 60,000 different products in almost every imaginable category for domestic and industrial use. Their range of products for cars is particularly well-known and includes the famous 3M car tints.
3M Car Tints is actually a collection of several families of window and paint protection films. All of the films incorporate some form of advanced technology and are non-metalized, meaning that they do not block radio, GPS, or cell-phone signals. Some of their features and characteristics are briefly outlined here.
- Crystalline Series: These films can provide heat and UV without changing the look of your vehicle. This film blocks up to 99% of the UV radiation in sunlight as well. Up to 97% of the heat in sunlight is rejected making it an excellent choice for a cool and comfortable interior. The wide range of tints makes it suitable for any state regardless of local laws.
- Premium Series: Like the crystalline series, they provide superior UV protection. However, they block a lower amount of energy and heat. They also provide higher glare protection. They are called the premium series because of the opulent look it gives a car and are much cheaper than other automotive films that provide similar protection.
- Ceramic Series: The special ceramic technology provides 805 heat rejection, the ceramic films are corrosion and scratch resistant as well.
- HP Series: High performance meets high style; The HP series offers outstanding heat rejection performance with sleek charcoal finish.
- Color Stable Series: These are special nano-carbon treated films that do not fade with time. In addition to the UV, heat, and glare protection, they also provide high privacy.
- Black Chrome Series: As the name suggests, these films give car windows a dark, reflective, chrome coating. They are useful in places where sunlight is harsh and long. They also give your car the ultimate cool look.
- Scotchshield Security Series: The pinnacle of security films, these also have strong anti-shatter properties, which bolster the window panes' own. They also provide privacy and other protections.

Petros the Pterodactyl
Pterodatylus was a kind of Pterosaur.
They are flying reptiles; Pterodatylus wasn't a dinosaur.
It lived around 150.8–148.5 million years ago, during the late Jurassic Period.
Pterodactylus was a relatively small pterosaur with a wingspan of just over 1 metre (3.28 ft.)
Pterodactylus had a long beak filled with around 90 short, sharp teeth.
It was a carnivore. It's likely prey would have been fish and other small animals.
'Pterodatylus' means 'winged-finger'. It was named by early Paleontologist Georges Cuvier.
Pterodatylus had specially-adapted, extremely long fourth fingers, which held out its wings.
Most Pterodactylus fossils have been found in the Solnhofen limestone deposits in Bavaris, Germany. Others have been found in England and in Tanzania.
Pterodactylus is a genus (a type of animal) of the suborder Pterodactyloidea. The only currently known species of Pterodactylus is Pterodactylus antiquus.
It evolved from earlier Pterosaurs called Rhamphorhynchoids.
- Crochet toy Petros, the Pterodactyl is about 28 cm tall.
- Inside my toys is a high-quality hypoallergenic polyester. It does not lose its form, and can also withstand cleaning in warm water.
- My toys don't contain small, sharp or hard elements, which can be dangerous to the health of the child.
- The eyes of the toys are made of hardened plastic, which is then covered with a protective compound. The eyes are firmly entangled with the cloth and in order to tear them away, you need to exert force.
- But if you buy a toy for a small child, you can make a note with a request to replace the eyes with embroidered.
- I recommend manual washing of the toys in warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly from powder or soap, squeeze out all the water and allow to dry during the day.
Order to be made. Please allow 5-7 business days to make.
- Handmade by Anifantra
- Design and pattern by Sweet Oddity Art

Texican Wrote:frerejacques Wrote:Most "real" Irish people I know grill their steaks and mash, roast, or boil the potatoes. Good gravy is the key.Well, although I'm not "really" Irish, I guess I'll roast the potatoes, instead of the typical Southern "fried 'taters". Would roasted sweet potatoes do? I am a Texican, after all...
If that's too boring you can make meat pie - not everyone has it with mince. The Irish side of the family does it like this: Get some stew beef or whatever you fancy, add salt and pepper, coat it with flour, and put it into a skillet in which you've already browned some onions. Let it get a little browny/sticky and add some gravy or water w/worchestershire and let it simmer. Don't cook it too much because you're still baking it in the pie. Once you have a beefy gravy with chunks of meat, let it cool. Put it into a pie shell and bake it according to the instructions of your pie crust recipe. Serve it with a green vegetable and mashed potato.
It sure would be healthier!

MaxLinear, Inc. (NYSE:MXL) shareholders have witnessed an increase in enthusiasm from smart money recently.
In the eyes of most market participants, hedge funds are perceived as unimportant, old financial tools of years past. While there are greater than 8000 funds trading at the moment, we at Insider Monkey hone in on the upper echelon of this club, around 450 funds. It is estimated that this group has its hands on the lion's share of the smart money's total capital, and by monitoring their top investments, we have found a few investment strategies that have historically outperformed the S&P 500 index. Our small-cap hedge fund strategy outperformed the S&P 500 index by 18 percentage points annually for a decade in our back tests, and since we've began to sharing our picks with our subscribers at the end of August 2012, we have outpaced the S&P 500 index by 23.3 percentage points in 8 months (check out a sample of our picks).
Just as key, bullish insider trading activity is a second way to break down the financial markets. Obviously, there are lots of motivations for an executive to cut shares of his or her company, but just one, very obvious reason why they would initiate a purchase. Various empirical studies have demonstrated the impressive potential of this strategy if shareholders know what to do (learn more here).
Consequently, it's important to take a peek at the key action encompassing MaxLinear, Inc. (NYSE:MXL).
Hedge fund activity in MaxLinear, Inc. (NYSE:MXL)
At Q1's end, a total of 7 of the hedge funds we track were bullish in this stock, a change of 17% from the first quarter. With the smart money's capital changing hands, there exists a select group of notable hedge fund managers who were increasing their stakes significantly.
When looking at the hedgies we track, Nokomis Capital, managed by Brett Hendrickson, holds the most valuable position in MaxLinear, Inc. (NYSE:MXL).

I've finally let go of an old flame. The courage to block him on social media sites came on late, though. But doing so gave me the feeling of liberation.
We have parted our ways a long time ago, but I kept on stalking him from time to time. Unfriending him was not enough to keep me from doing so. The foolish me was hoping to see if he still wants me…or at least, misses me…as he did in those text messages.
They were just fleeting words, but my heart was trapped in a web of lies for a year. The jerk in him was unmasked when I confronted him. "All I want is to be a good friend," he faltered, and suddenly all the empty promises came fleeting like ashes in a violent wind of emotions. This is not a man worth my time or my hopes. I've decided to let him go…but I was deceiving myself.
But as always, his social media plied no trace of his humanity, just a reflection of his religious fanaticism…dead and emotionless. His page glared at me as if it was a death mask that would never be removed from the face of its master. Four years from this hopeless romanticism, I have to gather the courage to shatter my obsession. I've realized there are more people worth my time, my emotions, my being. New friends who show me there's more room to grow and love. New promises that enlighten my perspective. A future that's brighter and lovelier than my past. The past is not worth mourning anymore. I need to burn it. Bury it. Forget it. Along with his memory.
Now, that he's gone, I'm free from such a heavy load. I have to walk weightless because the journey towards a better tomorrow will never be easy. But leaving this baggage of bitterness and hopeless will help me move forward and run towards the sunrise.

Inspiration. Imagination. Motivation
The fringing foot is designed for fagoting and sewing thread fringe. This decorative touch is especially effective in applique work. The foot has a small divider in it so that when you make a wide zig-zag stitch, you will wind up with a very large loop. Then simply cut the loop close to one side of the stitches. whichever side you want the fringe to be free on, and you'll have made your own thread fringe!

Auto Responder Marketing Techniques
The Internet offers many means of affordable marketing with auto responders. Here are a couple of popular ways of using them.
Some marketers write up a simple step-by-step instructional class in their area of expertise. Then they break it up into smaller portions or messages and set them up in an auto responder as email messages, including short ads within each message to invite sales & website visits. Then they invite website visitors to sign up through on online form or email subscription address offered through the auto responder service. As people sign up, they will learn more about the products and services through the teaching series.

Want to know more about the book review star rating system? Or find out what other books I've reviewed? Check out this page here.
School's In Session is a collection of five books by Celeste Jones, Dinah McLeod, Kate Richards, Maggie Carpenter and Renee Rose all with a Back To School theme.
I can't work out if that's a weird theme for a collection of spanking books or not. On the one hand, I'm sure I'm not the only person whose early spanking fantasies all took place in the classroom. But on the other, if I think 'school spanking story', it does immediately bring to mind schoolteachers spanking schoolchildren which is clearly not what's on offer here. Blushing Books are running a respectable publishing house and the spanking of minors is strictly verboten.
|The spanking of miners, however, is probably OK
The writers have therefore come up with an imaginative bunch of scenarios which fit the school spanking theme. There's a grad student being spanked by her professor, a couple of mature students (one rather maturer than the other) getting spanky with one another, a kindergarten teacher on the receiving end of discipline from the headmaster, a nineteenth century rebel forced to marry the local schoolmaster and an aspiring writer with designs on the tutor at her writing adult education class.
I'm reviewing each of the books separately but would strongly advise you to buy the whole boxset for both money-saving reasons and getting-yourself-a-whole-heap-of-spanky-goodness-to-read reasons.
I'm going to start with the best because I don't hold with leaving the best til last in any situation. Give me the good stuff now, I say. And there's plenty of good stuff in The Professor's Girl.
Lucy is a graduate student who also works as lab assistant for sexy science professor, Dr Todd. There's kind of an employer/employee relationship going on here but it didn't stress me out the way the employer/employee relationship did in Renee's recent book, Yes, Doctor. Although that one was also a doctor/patient thing which flouted all kinds of professional guidelines. So does Professor/student probably but apparently I'm fine with that.
Although there is already mutual attraction between Lucy and Todd, neither of them have done anything about it. The relationship steps up a gear when the pair run in to one another at a spanking party. Todd is a regular attendee with whom the hostess likes to entrust her spankee newbies knowing they will be in good hands. Lucy is a first timer.
It's the perfect setup. Our heroes' level of experience is established, everyone knows they're on the same spanking page and they all get to be both embarrassed and extraordinarily turned on. There's no spanking between them at the party. Things don't happen between them for a while although Lucy does a wonderful job of trying to goad him into action via strategically placed hairbrushes and ping pong paddles. But of course, they can't resist one another for ever. When these two people who were so obviously meant to be together, do get together, it is hot and sweet and stern and quite, quite lovely.
I may have a massive grin on my face right now just thinking about it.
|Laying Down the Law
The heroine of this book is 45 year-old Ali who has returned to college to complete her law qualification after a twenty year absence. She is fairly immediately and comprehensively wooed by twenty-something classmate, Griff. He introduces her to the delights of sex shops, spanking and learning to put herself first for a change.
I love the fact that Griff spanks Ali for saying 'sorry' too much. That's a thing I totally do! When I go on holiday, I make sure I learn both 'sorry' and 'thank you' in the local language because I figure that covers about 90% of everything I say anyway. It's a brilliant justification to spank someone. As soon you point out to someone that they apologise too much, you know they're going to apologise for it. Then if you get to spank them for it, well that's just going to trigger more 'sorry's and before you know it you're stuck in a never-ending sorry/spanking loop. Which is excellent news for everybody.
The age difference is nicely handled. There are some neat touches like Ali getting her hair restyled and the thrown away reference to Fifty Shades of Grey: "She hadn't even read that book that all the mothers whispered about at soccer games and bakes sales." Because it would be stretching credibility for Ali not to have at least heard of it.
The legal storyline which runs through the story is rather less convincing than the relationship itself. I did find myself going 'hmm' during the final courtroom scene in which Ali gets to prove her lawyerliness. Not a good 'hmm' either. I don't think any of the legal stuff would hold up to the tiniest bit of scrutiny.
But that's all incidental to the main storyline which is Ali forging a new life for herself post divorce. Although Ali's confidence is low, her two sons have just gone off to college and she is at the perfect time of her life to rediscover herself. And what better way to do that than with a new career and an adoring dom boyfriend?
You know, my daughter's off to university next week. I'm thinking that finding myself a cocky twenty-something with an interesting collection of spanking implements could be just the thing to take my mind off it.
Michelle Johnson is supposedly having a run of bad luck at the start of the book. Thankfully, when it comes to job interviews she apparently has all the luck in the world.
She rocks up late then she tells the guy interviewing her for the role of kindergarten teacher that she doesn't like teaching and she hates kids. It's like the job interview scene from Ted. It works out OK because, of course, it turns out that there was a non-child-hating teacher inside her just waiting to get out. Seriously, though, I hope the School Board don't find out about Joshua Black's interview technique. Do you think they'd be OK with the fact that his decision to hire Michelle was largely based on the fact that he'd known her since they were at school together and he really, really fancied her?
I really enjoyed the chemistry the two heroes have together. It's always nice when a character goes from not knowing that she's into spanking to realising that a spanking is exactly what she needs in her life.
I have realised, though, that I have a bit of a problem with people in books having sex at work. It makes me anxious. I don't mind if, say, the CEO of Madeup Enterprises is rogering his interns over the boardroom desk because who cares what those people get up to? But once it's a proper job providing an actual service to people then I don't like it when people start getting frisky on the premises. I mentioned Darling Adam's Yes, Doctor earlier. That had some illicit store cupboard action that was probably outside the medical centre's acceptable practises guide. Casey McKay's A Taste of Discipline featured tabletop shagging in a professional kitchen which is the sort of thing you'd have to lie about afterwards on your Food Hygiene form.
Detention with Professor Black was the most stressful yet in this regard. That's a classroom, people! Stop getting sex all over it! Even worse than the over the desk shagging was Josh making Michelle write "naughty girls don't get to cum" twenty times on the blackboard. I was really worried that would end badly. What if the chalk she used was a bit greasy? If that happens, you could end up with words re-appearing when the blackboard gets wet. It's like when you write with your finger on the bathroom mirror and it reappears next time it gets steamed up.I was genuinely too worried about that happening to concentrate on the sex properly.
And the weird thing is that Dinah McLeod sort of addresses my anxiety about sex in public places at the very end of the book. I don't think it helped though. I think she made it worse.
I appreciate that this is entirely my own hang-up. But maybe writers could start adding this to the list of warnings on books. "Warning: This book contains non-consensual spankings, anal sex and some people having sex near the self-help section of a publicly funded library."
|Educating Marguerite
This is the only historical story in the collection. I love a good historical romance, me. I want a hero to be able to throw a lady across his lap and navigate his way past a bunch of petticoats without having to worry about safe words or establishing whether or not the lady in question wants to embrace a kinky lifestyle.
Marguerite is a feisty, bad-tempered character who has plenty to be bad-tempered about given that her father insists that she attend the school of William Melton, the son of an old business partner of hers. She objects on the fairly reasonable grounds that she has already completed her education. When eventually Marguerite is able to convince her father that she shouldn't be attending school any more, he marries her off to the schoolmaster instead. If that's not reason enough for a girl to be a bit peevish, I don't know what is.
In fact things are even worse than that because, believing Marguerite's father to be responsible for his own father's death, William Melton harbours a grudge towards Marguerite's family and originally doesn't even plan to be particularly nice to her. Luckily, the force of true love being what it is, both Marguerite and William manage to both be a good influence on the other and they both end up as much nicer people.
And although Marguerite may have been furious about being expected to attend school despite being an adult at the beginning of the story, it does make for a really fun start to the story. I particularly enjoyed seeing William apply discipline to Marguerite as her teacher before he has the opportunity to discipline her as her husband. William instructing Marguerite to bend over so can he administer her punishment with the school paddle makes for a very hot scene.
The plot does feel a little bit all over the place, though. It's very rushed towards the end – particularly the issue of what happened to William's father which gets wrapped up in a couple of sentences from Marguerite's father. It would have been nice to see the couple's growing affection and acceptance of one another unfold just a little more gently. Overall it's a delightful story though. It's nice to see that accepting William's discipline does nothing to quash Marguerite's indomitable spirit as she seem all set to be a pioneer of women's rights by the end of the book.
I wasn't sure what to make of this one to begin with. It certainly doesn't follow the usual pattern of a romance story and a lot of the early part of the book consists of scenes that take place in the books being either read of written by the characters in the story. This gives it a bit of a disjointed feel.
After a couple of chapters, though, I found myself completely enthralled. The main character Isobel works for a publisher by day but dreams of being a writer. She enrols in a creative writing class run by sexy tutor, Patrick Doyle.
After a couple of chapters, though, I found myself completely enthralled. The main character Isobel works for a publisher by day but dreams of being a writer. She enrols in a creative writing class run by sexy tutor, Patrick Doyle.
It looks like the story is going to be about Isobel and Patrick, but the story shifts focus later on and introduces us to a second hero, Isobel's boss Brad who tells Isobel that the firm is planning to move into the erotica market and asks her to proofread some a couple of pages of a BDSM-y manuscript.
Having characters review other character's writing in a book is a bit weird because it means that Maggie Carpenter effectively gets to praise her own writing. When Isobel is proofreading the book her boss gives her, she singles out specific phrases remarking to herself "I love that. Why can't I think of phrases like that?" Don't worry character-also-written-by-the-same-person, I'm sure you can.
Isobel herself then tries her hand at writing erotica and find she has a natural talent for it. The praising-her-own-writing really goes into overdrive here. Everyone exclaims over Isobel's writing, two men want to seduce her off the back of it and it changes her life completely. Such is the power of writing good kink.
It's an intriguing story which certainly takes any expectations you might form as you're reading and turns them on their head. I felt a bit sorry for the discarded love interest to begin with. So he's not into commitment? Lots of dom-y types say that. It just takes the love of a good woman to sort them out. Just ask Christian Grey. Luckily Isobel's rejected suitor completely blows it later on and I didn't have to feel sorry for him anymore.
This is an excellently written book only made slightly weird by having characters flat-out tell you how excellently written parts of it are. Although, interestingly, nobody comments on the line "as my joyous dick slithers home" which appears in one of the character's manuscripts. I really don't like the idea of penises slithering. Apart from sounding way too much like it's acting independently of its owner, that's entirely the wrong movement a penis to be making. And it's definitely worse if it's doing it joyously.
|Pictured: Joyousness
Joyous slithering penises aside, (and God, you have no idea how many sentences I have to begin like that), this was an engrossing story. It was the last book I read in the School's In Session collection and provided a surprising finale to a wonderfully satisfying box set.

Familiarity breeds contempt
Sugar starts off interesting.
By "starts", I mean "the first few minutes".
By "interesting", I mean in that experimental, film school kind of way, which resembles 60's European films.
The problem with Sugar is that it never really breaks free from its self-constricted set of rules. There's no dialog. Everything is stylized, and nothing is real except certain ideas we are supposed to swallow about what is going on. At its best, Sugar is like the Quay Brothers doing a David Lynch script. At its worst, a voyeuristic snooze. The film goes on for at least twenty minutes longer than it needs to. I could get into the plot, but I'd hate ruin that, or spoil the not-so-vague puzzle of what's going on in the film.
Perhaps I wouldn't be so hard if I didn't some real potential in the film. The visuals, along with the backing soundtrack, are well thought out and evocative, it's just the sense of timing and plot that's amiss.

Greetings Readers,
How are we all? I trust we are well! Again, I let my writing slip again in the last week across my blogs and it has purely been down to the fact that I have been so busy! However, all will be explained in this entry!
Here we go! So, recently most of my articles have been about my upcoming graduation. Which is no surprise, it's a big deal for me! It's going to be the end of one big chapter of my life and one hell of a celebration!
In regards to my graduation, you'll know that everything was pretty much in place and ready and waiting to go. Now, all my tickets and everything have arrived which is FANTASTIC and also, finally, I have my graduation suit!
It's this lovely grey suit here! It was even cheaper than I was anitipating and the best part? I actually paid for it myself! That may not sound like a big deal to a lot of you but my parents have always supported me a lot and this time, this was something I purchased myself. After a lot of time working with my parents to earn the money, I did it! I earned enough to afford to buy my suit!
That is the final piece, everything is now ready for graduation! I've just got to graduate now! Which is fairly terrifying! And exciting… but, we've covered this before.
Anyway, that should hopefully explain why I haven't posted much in the last week. I have been travelling here, there and everywhere and working a lot in order to save up money and then, any down time that I have had, I've just slept as I've been so exhausted!
Now I have a lot more free time, apart from my usual job, therefore, I'll be able to post more over the next coming days and weeks! Watch this space!

Isabelle says, "My diagnosis was scary, but I already knew about diabetes because my older sister also has T1D." Isabelle and her sister are co-captains for their family's JDRF One Walk team and have raised $80,000 for T1D research. Isabelle has also educated her fellow students about T1D, served as a speaker at a JDRF Hope for the Holidays Gala, and mentors an 11-year-old girl. She says, "I love sharing my experiences with her, showing her that diabetes cannot hold you back from anything in life, and teaching her that diabetes only makes you stronger!"

Hi and thanks for dropping in.
If you've been with us for a while, you'll notice the posts from the past two years will look familiar. These are the actual posts one for one from our Patreon page which we closed at the end of 2018. We couldn't have gotten to this point without the help and support from our patrons but we made the difficult decision to move on from Patreon to focus on our magnum opus, YEN.io.
If you're just catching up, we thought the previous posts would be a neat way to share our background and our thought processes to everyone without any type of subscriptions. Take a look back and see how we developed CryptoYum, CoinPuffs, the Bitcoin Pub, and now Yen.io.
Besides, you don't know where you're going until you know where you've been. We'll post any updates to our community and our efforts here so please bookmark and follow along!

Thus ends four days of liver damage, debauchery, hangovers, embarrassments and a swollen stomach. The 2010 Food & Wine Classic in Aspen officially came to a close yesterday, and while the weekend isn't without its fuzzy moments, my brain isn't so washed up that I'm not without a fleet of memories and observations. Herewith, the most unforgettable moments. 1. At the best party of the weekend, Spanish chef and all-around nice guy José Andrés, spit-roasted two fat pigs, whose crackling skin he then fed to pork fiends from his own hands. It was a bit like communion, only much better, with Andrés claiming, after every handout, that "pig is lord." 2. Hitting me completely by surprise, the extraordinary salumi, cheese and charcuterie display from Tennessee-based Blackberry Farm, a newcomer to this year's Classic, made me pant and wet my pants. It's because of all that fat that I can no longer see my belly button or my toes. But you know what? I don't give a shit, because in a sea of grapes, strawberries and crackers, all that pig was like finding the Holy Grail. 3. Hey, Best New Chef, Alex Seidel! There will be gazillions of people who insist that I'm biased because you're our hometown hero, but, dude, your transcendent baby lamb ribeye dish at the Best New Chefs dinner was far and away the most beautifully composed dish there, and your graceful, pure flavors were unflinchingly perfect. And I tip my hat to Jeff Osaka, the exec chef/owner of Twelve, who busted his ass, along with the rest of the Fruition staff, to create the finest lamb dish for miles. 4. Speaking of the Best New Chef's dinner, the scrambled egg mousse, a dish from John Shields, the exec of Town House in Chilhowie, Virginia, was the single worst bite of food I've put in my mouth in, well, maybe ever. And it wasn't just me who was horrified. Our table of a dozen, which included two veteran chefs with pitch-perfect palates, and who rarely, if ever, throw out profanities, littered the table with every four-letter word in the dictionary. 5. The Votaggio brothers, Bryan and Michael, the latter of whom won Top Chef: Las Vegas, created some unbelievably bewitching dishes using sous-vide, a smoking gun, foamers, a Vita-Prep mixer and (gasp) a microwave at a lunch at N9NE Steakhouse. As an added benefit, Adam Fleischman, the guy who owns Umami Burger in Los Angeles, was sitting next to me, and guess what y'all? He's scouting for a space in Denver. 6. Thomas Keller has more swagger and confidence than any chef has a right to, his sex appeal stops women (and men) dead in their stilettos and he's one of the most gracious people you could ever hope to meet, all of which goes to say that if it weren't for a little thing called a restraining order, I'd stalk the guy incessantly. 7. There's something absolutely surreal about watching Jacques Pépin cook, and something even more hypnotic when you witness the apotheosized chef making a French omelet, which he effortlessly flips, tucks and folds with remarkable mastery. Seriously, the guy is the David Copperfield of omelets, which may sound ridiculous, but until you've seen what Pépin can do with eggs, butter, a little pressed caviar and a skillet, save your skepticism. 8. It's worth noting -- and celebrating -- the Colorado contingent that participated in the Classic, including the Denver Five, who partied like Prince in 1999, dazzled persnickety gastrosnobs with their focused, mind-bogglingly inspired dishes and discovered, that even in the presence of rock star chefs like Batali, Pépin, Keller, Rick Moonen, Rick Bayless and Tom Colicchio, they're a force to be reckoned with.

Women's basketball triumphs over Washington on day of female athlete celebration
Redshirt freshman guard Lindsey Corsaro – along with the four other starters for UCLA women's basketball – logged double-digits in scoring in Sunday's win over Washington. Corsaro finished with 14 points, five assists and four rebounds. (Tanmay Shankar/Daily Bruin)
Women's basketball
By Claire Glendening
Feb. 4, 2019 12:09 a.m.
Cori Close saw her players taking a picture with little girls as they made their way to the press room.
"The opportunity to give back and promote girls and women in sports and make an impact on young girls, to me that actually was the best part of my day," the coach said.
UCLA women's basketball (13-9, 6-4 Pac-12) defeated Washington (8-15, 1-10) 76-60 on Sunday afternoon as fans celebrated National Girls & Women in Sports Day.
The Bruins led in the first quarter, logging 30 points and hitting 76.5 percent from the field.
"We were really crisp in passing," Close said. "We were hunting for the shots that we know we're best at."
In the second quarter, UCLA shot 50 percent from the field, but gave up eight turnovers.
UCLA finished the match with 23 turnovers, seven of which were from Japreece Dean. The senior guard gives up the third most turnovers in the conference.
Dean said although there were difficulties against the Huskies, she credits the help from her teammates and coaches in Sunday's victory.
"They instill a lot of confidence in us and without them it would be hard," Dean said. "They encourage us to help our mental and our body (strength)."
Close said although Dean turned the ball over, she still made the right plays.
"I told (Dean) a couple of her turnovers in the first half I thought were great turnovers," Close said. "They were aggressive, she's going hard, she's working on attacking to get downhill going to her left."
On the offensive end, Dean went 6-of-9 from the field against the Huskies and tallied seven assists.
"(Dean) did a great job of probing the paint," said redshirt freshman guard Lindsey Corsaro. "She hit me on a lot of shots where she drew herself into defense and I was open."
Corsaro led the Bruins in scoring, registering 14 points and going 3-of-4 from beyond the arc.
Washington trailed UCLA by 24 at the end of the first half – shooting 21 percent from the field – but outscored the Bruins in the third and fourth quarters. The Huskies shot 47.1 percent in the final quarter.
"We lost our aggressiveness and we started playing conservative, as opposed to making (Washington guard Amber Melgoza) commit plays off the bounce into our lane," Close said. "She was the center of our scouting report."
Melgoza logged 23 points against the Bruins – leading both teams. The guard ranks ninth in the Pac-12 in points per game, averaging 17.3.
"I'm disappointed we didn't sustain (our intensity) through the 41 points in the second half on the defensive end," Close said. "I was playing a lot of unusual lineups, but in order to have opportunities, you have to learn how to come in and keep the level high."
Sunday's victory at Pauley Pavilion marks the Bruins' second win of the weekend after beating out Washington State on Friday.

Daniel made a failed prediction about the final fate of the Kings of the North & South.
The JWs and other religion's solution to this is to keep reinterpreting the failed prophecy and projecting its fulfillment into the future.
When Bible prophecies fail just keep reinterpreting them and projecting their fulfillment into the future since the Bible must be true.

Hi, please help me
come in contact with people in France that can assist my
friend. She recently took a courageous step forward and
went to the police.
But as you know it is not enough. I have been living
with the family
in France for about 6 months and have seen domestic
violence like I have never seen in real life before. She
experiences aggressive verbal mental and physical abuse
daily. Yesterday evening she went to her parents home
and was punched in the face by her own brother
repeatedly. She managed
to flee the house in terror as I shut the door between
them, preventing her brother to continue his beatings.
She is in her forties and he is slightly older and her
son is a young teenager.
This is too much
for me as I have spoken to both her brother and son on a
previous occasion about not using their hands to beat
women but to protect women instead. She also finally had
the courage to go to the
police and
report the abuse but even with proof the police seems
limited in action. Apparently a
Judge can make
the decision which is another 3 months away. In only two
weeks her son caused over 600 euros of damage to her
property and I had to restrain him twice already from
assaulting his mother, but he keeps intimidating her, is
verbally abusive and through destroying things he wants
to show that he still has the power over her. His mother
was choked and verbally abused for 10 minutes in the
safety of her own home by her son, while laying face
down on the floor and him sitting on her back. This only
came to light when I restrained him during a incident of
assault when she,
in her distress,
revealed the hidden secret.
At the time she
told her own
mother who advised her not to go to the police. She now
lives with the perpetrator in silent fear and sometimes
explodes because
of her will to
free herself. This is common among abusers who
are forced to continue living with their
perpetrators. Drugs have escalated his rage and demand
for money and he continues to steal, intimidate,
threaten and to cause damage. I am leaving soon but not
before I know that she is safe from this domestic
violence. Please help.

Ray Douglas Bradbury (August 22, 1920 – June 5, 2012) was an American author and screenwriter. He worked in a variety of genres, including fantasy, science fiction, horror and mystery fiction. Recipient of numerous awards, including a 2007 Pulitzer Citation, Bradbury also wrote and consulted on screenplays and television scripts, including Moby Dick and It Came from Outer Space. Many of his works were adapted to comic book, television and film formats.

The major networks the cable networks they're being prosecutors. They're judges and jurors and executioners. Well c'mon that's ridiculous. But they're doing it.
I'm not in control of my muse. My muse does all the work.
I felt a bit bookish cut off from life.
I don't try to describe the future. I try to prevent it.
There is too much government today. We've got to remember the government should be by the people of the people and for the people.
It's lack that gives us inspiration. It's not fullness.
Once the automobile appeared you could have predicted that it would destroy as many people as it did.

Effective Social Media: Listen to Your Customers
It seems obvious: if you want to be effective in your social media efforts, you should listen to your customers. Whether they're tweeting about your services, or starting conversations on your Facebook fan page, customers do these things because they find value in the activity…and they want their voices and opinions to be heard.
Yet despite this no-brainer, it's surprising how many companies and businesses pursue social media simply for the sake of saying that they do it, rather than truly committing to the complex and resource-intensive task of starting–and finishing–relationships that happen at the speed of the web.
The Importance of Listening
Don't get me wrong. It is important to have a well developed (and executed!) strategy for your social media efforts. Everything from frequency, to platforms, to messaging should be CAREFULLY considered and implemented even more intentionally. Yet for all of this, remember that social media for a business is ultimately about giving. Sure, you want to increase visibility, drive sales, and develop better awareness of your brand (and if you're doing things right, these will naturally follow). However, the bottom line of social media is ultimately about what your customers, fans, and followers get from you. Yes, it sucks on a certain level, for you have the uncertainty of throwing time, energy, and resources at amorphous returns…yet this is the way it is.
So if the principle of giving is one of the bedrock ideas of social media, then we must ultimately conclude that the place to begin is by listening. So how is listening "giving?" Let me give you an example.
A new business to Groupon launched their very first offer…ever. It was a great deal on the surface, offering more than 60% off their normal fees for their services. Unfortunately, the rules were somewhat obfuscated, and, in fact, actually discriminated against particular audiences when explanations of the rules and terms started to surface. Grouponers immediately noticed and reacted with a flurry of protests and less-than-positive comments.
If the business was only in the "deal" to grab a few new customers and to get their name "out there", they might well have ignored the comments and stuck to their original rules. But rather than following some stubborn, unbending interpretation of their own rules, this business took the feedback received and actually changed the rules so that the unintended discrimination was wiped away. But they didn't stop there. They actually took responsibility for the oversight and went so far as to offer a sincere apology to the community for the unintentional offense.
Making it a Practice
Now of course, it's unlikely that this isolated example of good social media dramatically impacted the business' bottom line–individual circumstances rarely do. However, over the course of the long-term, the inculcation of the practice of listening in a business' approach to social media can garner positive, lasting outcomes that reinforce all the underlying goals that far too many businesses put above the fundamentals of online relationships.
So how is this done? Here are some suggestions, based on my own reflections and experiences in social media over the last five years, that I think go a long way toward advancing the conversation.
Have Something to Say…and Say it Well
Far too many businesses wade into social media without anything of substance to add. Drowning in a sea of noise, these businesses unwittingly contribute to the billion Fan Pages, and untold millions of Twitter accounts that nobody cares about (probably including the business itself). Why is this? It happens because far too many have been deceived into thinking that the mere possession of these social media tools will somehow advance their bottom line. This, however, is patently false. Without exception, if you look at the most successful Fan Pages, and the most followed Twitter feeds, you'll notice something very common: something of value is being said. If listening is key effective social media, saying something worthwhile is what creates the opportunity for the conversation. If you "do" social media, you will only be successful if you have something valuable to say and give to those whom you interact with. And, of course, you can only really know whether what you're saying is of value if you listen to what people have to say in return…if they say anything at all.
Listen by Engaging
It is definitely important to listen and put into practice the feedback that you get from your fans and followers. However, it's even better to go a step further. Does someone in the community have a great idea that you're going to implement? Let everyone know who said what, and why you think it fits in with what you're trying to do. And if you're feeling particularly generous, why not find a way to reward your inspiration? Little acknowledgements go a long way toward building a dynamic and vibrant community that fosters the kinds of conversations that accomplish all the goals that fly-by-night Twitter-book masters promise, but never deliver.
Don't Be Afraid to Defend Yourself
While a lot of social interactions will be positive, you might get negative or even hostile feedback from the community. Your initial reaction might be to ignore it, but instead of being a chicken, feel free to defend yourself. Obviously, you need to be civil and diffuse any anger or hostility that might be coming from your antagonist. But there is nothing wrong with engaging even those who have ulterior motives. Not only does it show that you are actually listening, but your engagement will probably stir others within your community to speak up in your defense. There is absolutely no better sign that you are doing social media "right" when you no longer need to lead the charge because those who value you and your services have taken the initiative.
Be Consistent
You can't be a good listener if you don't practice, and you'll certainly not get any meaningful practice if your social media efforts are inconsistent. If you want to do social media right, if you want to foster the kinds of conversations that will really communicate your message and build brand recognition, you'll have to be a consistency Nazi. This means you can't be content to update your Twitter account once a month with a silly, irrelevant status update. And merely adding random events to your Fan page doesn't count, either. No, stop everything right now and plan out your social media messages. Craft a plan so that you have consistent, timely, and meaningful messages to communicate regularly, so that you can build a rhythm of dialog in your online social community. But most importantly, in the midst of everything else that you are doing, you will need to build in time and resources to carry on the conversations. For while you can blast messages to your audiences all day long to your heart's content, the real value of what you're saying will only be fully realized when someone hears the message, responds, and you are able to put into practice the art of listening that is so crucial to social media success.
Wrapping Up
Social media is a huge, wild, and constantly changing medium. It presents new challenges for sure, but also forces us to continually refine skills–like the deceptively simple act of listening–that we might otherwise take for granted. But if we truly work at it, and make listening not just an art, but an integral part of the culture of how we do business in the social web, we'll find that all the successes that we dream of are really as easy as a simple conversation.

Philippians 4:6
Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God.
The devil has become bolder as western civilization moves away from its Christian roots, the archbishop said, noting how the Internet has provided "Satan weapons of mass destruction he did not possess before."
"Most elements of our society are in a steep and speedy decline. Our entertainment elevates vice to the status of virtue while mocking marriage, motherhood, fatherhood, parenthood, innocence and glorifying all things sexual. Our educational system is a dismally dumbed downed government program that creates an anti-socialized, cookie-cutter, apathetic citizenry."
Matthew 21:22
If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.
The rest of mankind that were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk. Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts.
Revelation 9:20-21
1 Thessalonians 5:17
Pray without ceasing.
