In procurement circles, it is widely accepted that the Pareto Principle holds true. 80% of a companies spend touches just 20% of suppliers.
Conversely, 20% of a company's annual spend is with 80% of the supplier base.
Naturally, when companies are looking for cost savings, they focus their efforts on their larger direct spend, working hard to negotiate contracts, prices, terms with the smaller part of their suppliers.
Focused attention on this larger direct spend base can yield significant cost savings. Many companies are 'on top of their direct spend', having already squeezed every last cost saving they can from their direct suppliers.
But what about the 20% of your expenditure which is spread over 80% of your supplier base? How do you generate cost savings here?
Surely it is much harder to find tangible cost savings with tail spend, as the average transaction price is much lower and the number of suppliers are much higher.
Quite literally you could have hundreds or even thousands of suppliers in the long tail, and your yearly spend with each supplier could be just a few hundred pounds, or even lower.
Can you really save money in tail spend?
The answer is a resounding YES… and mostly thanks to advancements in cloud technology.
Cloud Technology Changes Everything – how you can save millions in tail spend
Cloud technologies have been gaining momentum over the past 10 years, but are now maturing to the point where they are starting to add real value in the enterprise.
In your business, you may already use a cloud based platform such as Salesforce, Google at Work or Office 365. Perhaps you even use a cloud based ERP system or other business critical cloud based system.
New technologies such as HTML 5, sophisticated web browsers such as Chrome, Firefox and Safari, fast and secure internet access, and adoption of mobile devices have opened the door to new business practices.
The cloud is also transforming how technology is rolled out and used. Everything sits in a browser and can be accessed 24x7x365 by any authorised user where-ever they are located.
Compare this to older generation technology such as client-server, where software had to be installed on every users PC or on-premise where IT departments had to provide access to a central server. The cost of deploying a non-cloud based solution can be prohibitive and reduce any potential ROI.
Cloud Technology and Tail Spend
One area which cloud technology is transforming the enterprise is tail spend. The unwieldy, uncontrolled, mis-understood 20% of a companies spend, which previously seemed too complicated to tackle and control.
With the cloud, companies can now bring control to their indirect spend, and step 1 in the 'Journey To Best Practice in Reducing Your Tail Spend' is to get visibility of your indirect spend.
Practically speaking this means putting your tail spend in the cloud.
By deploying a cloud based spend management platform and funneling all your tail spend through a cloud based platform, you can gain immediate real time visibility over your unpredictable, low transaction value expenditure.
With easy to deploy browser based technology, any end-user can start and complete their purchase in a cloud based B2B shopping cart (similar to Amazon). Users can choose to buy from pre-approved vendors, or work with new vendors who can add themselves to the platform based on pre-defined rules controlled by the procurement team.
By funnelling all your tail spend through a cloud based procurement platform, you immediately get visibility over your entire tail spend… allowing CPOs and other executives to review and understand their expenditure locally, nationally or even globally and in real time.
Quite literally, the CPO could be sat at home watching TV, in taxi travelling to a meeting or even on holiday by the beach, and can access real-time summary and detail data from their phone or tablet, helping them understand their tail spend.
Get Your Tail Spend In the Cloud
So step 1 in the process of saving money in your tail spend is to first understand your tail spend. It is to wrap your arms around your adhoc purchasing and put it all on a single cloud based spend management platform.
Only when you understand your tail spend (at a detail and high level) can you begin to manage it and find savings in it.
It is only since the introduction, maturity and wide adoption of cloud based technology that this approach to managing tail spend has been possible. But now that it is here, companies can look to save as much as 20% a year in their tail spend, by better managing it.
But to better manage it (and find cost savings in it), you first need to gain visibility over it and that starts by putting tail spend into the cloud.

Aside from George Michael's "Freedom '90" video and its vamping supermodels, the model-turned-actress concept does not have an illustrious history. Naomi Campbell played a phone-sex operator in Girl 6, Tyra Banks a bartender in Coyote Ugly, Cindy Crawford–of all things!–a lawyer in the thriller Fair Game. It looked as though a model might never make good onscreen, until Liya Kebede had the bright idea of playing another onetime model, the Somali activist Waris Dirie. Ms. Dirie's story is an inspiring if challenging one–she was sold into marriage before fleeing Somalia, then gained catwalk fame before becoming a U.N. spokeswoman against female circumcision. It's good to see a model like Ms. Kebede playing to her strengths, and doing something slightly more consequential than Coyote Ugly.
Warner Bros.
April 8
The resistible rise of Russell Brand continues apace with yet another comedy built around his gifts of "saying mindlessly provocative things" and "having an accent." (No American star can do both at once, it's true!) In this remake of the 1981 film, Mr. Brand takes Dudley Moore's title role, as a wealthy heir about to be cut off from his family's fortune; in the movie's one lateral move, Helen Mirren replaces John Gielgud as Arthur's stern caretaker. This film will be an interesting test of Mr. Brand's stardom–his previous comedies were successful enough because of the Judd Apatow brand, but here Mr. Brand stands on his own. Hopefully he, too, won't get disinherited.
Meek's Cutoff
April 8
The stars of Meek's Cutoff–Michelle Williams, Bruce Greenwood and Paul Dano among them–are barely recognizable under shrouds of Oregon Trail dirt or (in Ms. Williams' case) puffy bonnets. The film drags Ms. Williams' wagon-train party on a mad journey through the desert, led by real-life trapper Stephen Meek (Mr. Greenwood). Ms. Williams' last collaboration with director Kelly Reichardt was the dry woman-in-trouble yarn Wendy and Lucy, and this production is a chance for the pair to expand their palette to include shades beyond Ms. Williams swallowing hard and veiling deep sadness–or else to do more of the same in a different setting.
Your Highness
April 8
Natalie Portman can't retroactively change her mind, post-Oscars, about starring in Your Highness, though she might wish she could–the stoner comedy, set in medieval times, seems the quintessential post-Oscar stinker, taken directly from the Gwyneth Paltrow-flight-attendant-romantic-comedy mold. The person here with the most to gain post-Oscars, though, is James Franco, who needs the opportunity to prove he's funny again after a squinting, dazed performance as co-host. Here, as Mr. Franco reteams with Pineapple Express director David Gordon Green, his squinting dazed-ness is the point. The title, you see, has a double meaning. Who'd have guessed that Ms. Portman's "It's my turn!" outburst at the end of Black Swan would mean that it was her turn to cash in on a stoner comedy?
Midnight in Paris
Sony Pictures Classics
May 20
Woody Allen's past half-decade is comparable to a prolonged semester abroad–he's had some great experiences (Vicky Cristina Barcelona), some fun nights out early on that seem lamer in retrospect (Match Point) and some travesties where Mr. Allen must have just felt lost and confused and ready to go home (last fall's You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger). Midnight in Paris sends the director over the Chunnel to Paris, where Rachel McAdams and Owen Wilson perform in what is being billed as a romantic comedy. As with all of Mr. Allen's films, pre-release details are scarce, but Carla Bruni-Sarkozy has a cameo in the film (she's this year's Marshall McLuhan!). The casting of Ms. Bruni-Sarkozy proves it yet again: As with all students overseas, Mr. Allen's infatuation with his surroundings outstrips its interest to friends back at home.
Red Riding Hood
Warner Bros.
March 11
Who's afraid of the big bad wolf? Not Catherine Hardwicke, the director who launched a thousand Twi-hards with her big-screen adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's lusty YA juggernaut. With Red Riding Hood, Ms. Hardwicke ventures once again into dark, mythical territory, but don't expect something as pedestrian as a simple trip to grandmother's house (especially when Grandma is played by a 69-year-old Julie Christie). With a cast led by Amanda Seyfried as a medieval beauty whose village is terrorized by a werewolf, and Gary Oldman as the mysterious witch hunter summoned to put an end to the bloodshed, this grown-up fairy tale is poised to dominate the market for highbrow horror.
Focus Features
April 8
Saoirse Ronan (The Lovely Bones) stars as the titular character in this thriller, directed by Joe Wright, about a young girl raised by her ex-C.I.A. agent father (Eric Bana) to become an expert assassin. When Hanna embarks on a mission across Europe, trailed by an intelligence operative (Cate Blanchett, in what is hopefully a role more subtle than her ludicrous K.G.B. agent from the last Indiana Jones installment), she grapples with the existential angst that comes with being a teenage hitwoman. We have high hopes that Ms. Ronan, who's been a riveting screen presence ever since her breakthrough performance under Mr. Wright's direction in Atonement, will make the most chilling assassin since Anton Chigurh (but with better hair).
May 6
Those of us who remember Vincent D'Onofrio's smoldering, pre-bloat turn as "Thor," an auto mechanic who ignites a little girl's imagination in the '80s kidnapping caper–and Elisabeth Shue vehicle–Adventures in Babysitting, may not feel the need for a new version of the Marvel superhero with the unwieldy weapon. But it's May, which means the summer blockbusters are coming, with Thor leading the pack. Aussie newcomer Chris Hemsworth takes on the mantle of the Norse god with the magic hammer, and Anthony Hopkins tries to redeem himself after The Rite in the role of King Odin–with a golden eye patch, no less! Oh, and guess who plays Thor's scientist lady love? Natalie Portman. Thank God–it's been forever since we've seen her in anything.
May 13
Runaway Bride. Father of the Bride. The Princess Bride. Bride of Frankenstein. We could go on, but everyone knows that in Hollywood, bridesmaids have been, well, always the bridesmaid. No more. Director Paul Feig and producer Judd Apatow, creative collaborators since Freaks and Geeks, team up again on Bridesmaids, a raunchy comedy led by Maya Rudolph and Kristen Wiig (who also co-wrote the screenplay). The early buzz is that this is a sort of Hangover for the ladies–an attempt to make the boy's club of gross-out humor coed. The last movie that attempted this feat was 2002's cringe-worthy The Sweetest Thing. Let's hope Ms. Wiig and Co. raise the (open) bar.
The Tree of Life
May 27<b
r />Fox Searchlight
Details about Terrence Malick's fantasy-drama The Tree of Life (the famously unprolific director's first film in more than five years) have been murky so far, but here's what we know for sure: It starts in the Midwest of the 1950s. Brad Pitt plays Sean Penn's dad, but he doesn't have Benjamin Button disease again–Mr. Penn is his son in the future. Mr. Penn's character is a "lost soul," and the film will explore themes of truth, beauty, faith and other vague but admirable virtues. The poster that's been released shows a newborn's foot, which suggests that the tree of life might be like the circle of life. So, like The Lion King, but live action and without Elton John songs.

The world's top enterprises have now acknowledged two teams which both play integral parts in their companies' effort to grow. These are the (1) sales and (2) marketing. However, the weight of their responsibilities can be very overwhelming, thanks to today's modern technologies which propel them to be as functional as they are now. CRM for example allows both teams to have the access to their clients' information. There are many platforms and apps which make these teams more productive as well, streamlining the company's sales process starting from the initial buyer contact to closing the deal.
With the start of 2016, companies rave for the best way to take advantage of technology and open portals of sales opportunities to hasten sales process on their part as well as their customers they serve.
Here are some insights coming from the marketing experts themselves which are proven to be effective by America's top companies.
1, Use of phones to maximize sales
With the advent of social media and email marketing, companies can build relationships with their targets and clients by employing the human element in their sales techniques. It doesn't have to always be a face to face encounter. You can still make your marketing strategy personal through phone calls. This gives a personal touch to your marketing strategy without the need to waste your time traveling. Though according to statistics, only one out of 17 sales calls are answered, this does not stop marketing experts to believe that 2016 will be the "year of the phone".
2, Consolidation of Sales Tech
These days, it is very common to see companies using around 397 cloud apps. The downside is; there are often underused of unused software as well. These apps can be very costly and sometimes touted as a "time consuming mistake." But as they say, there will always be "light at the end of the tunnel". And this was proven to be true when ExecVision.io CRO; Steve Richard announced that a sales technology consolidation will happen in 2016. Finally, companies can use a single platform on a well- integrated group of solutions which only requires small investment. This means increase in the company's profitability and enhancement of the company's customer service.
3, Content Strategy as an integral part in the sales process
This year, more buyers opt to make informed decisions when buying. Therefore, they research about the product first before they contact a sales agent. This calls for the need to engaging and accurate content which will boost one's product's value, making one's trade appear superior compared to their other counterparts. Well established companies engage their customers through research based strategies. Therefore, content creation must consider answering the customers' common questions, engage them and walk them through the buying process. Meaning, you become part of the buyer's journey. However, starters may need to establish their brands first, therefore the need to make more personal contacts with their targets and clients.
4, Unification of sales and marketing
In 2016, the highlight of the sales process is centered on the customers' experience. This is why sales development and marketing needs to work hand and hand to make sure that needs of the customers are met. Amidst today's overwhelming sales technology, we can't deny the fact that there is still an existing gap between marketing and sales systems. This leads to unpredictable sales process and disjointed buying experience. To resolve such issue, the company will need a leverage data to know the needs of its buyers. And the best sources for these data are the marketing and sales people.
A lot of changes are expected to happen when running a business in 2016. Such innovations are needed to meet the needs of the companies and their customers alike. The use of technologies will be maximized and buyers' needs will be given the highest priority. This will be the formula to accelerate sales and make the selling process more predictable for both buyers and the company's sales teams.

Woke up this morning to see that Kaos has apparently passed on his membership. I guess others took a more hard-line approach to this than I did. It's just as well. He violates the VN TOS almost daily, yet remains oblivious to that fact.
Based on a prior personal request/favor from Thistle, I've agreed to leave him alone, as she's explained to me that he has a history of these obsessions, and I'm honoring her request. I can't say it's a gratifying result, but I'm also very happy to not have to step away from the alliance.

Hi friends. Just checking in with you to let you know that I will be taking a short break to move, put up a summer festival, and settle into our new home in Lynchburg, VA. I am so excited to finally be a permanent member of the community, and I can't wait to meet new growers and make new delicious food. Hopefully I will find some moments to myself during the summer to post once or twice, then I will be back in fall with a hunger for some veggies and the unexplainable need to photograph them.
Be back soon. :)

Michael Learned is a four-time Emmy-winning and Golden Globe-nominated American actress best known for her role as Olivia Walton on The Waltons.
The Waltons
She was billed as "Miss Michael Learned" on The Waltons because she was relatively unknown at the time, and producers did not want confusion among viewers about her gender. She was nominated for six Emmy Awards and won three for her role of Olivia Walton. In 1979, her contract was not renewed; some sources indicate that she opted not to re-sign with the show.
Her seminal character's abrupt disappearance was explained by Olivia's developing tuberculosis and entering a sanitarium. For continuity's sake, she did make occasional guest appearances until the show's cancellation. She was also nominated for four Golden Globe Awards.
She later starred as Nurse Mary Benjamin in the hospital drama Nurse, which ran on CBS during the 1981-82 season. Though the series was well-received critically, it was not a rating success and lasted only two seasons. She was, however, nominated for two Emmy Awards for "Outstanding Lead Actress" and won yet another Emmy for her role in 1982.
Other television credits
She had a starring role in the unsuccessful 1989 sitcom Living Dolls and reprised her Waltons role for a number of TV movies and reunions in the 1990s.
She played "Judge Helen Turner" on the ABC soap operas All My Children and One Life to Live as part of the "baby switch" storyline on both shows.
She guest-starred in Scrubs as Mrs. Wilk in episodes "My Missed Perception", "My Buddy's Booty", "My Cabbage", and "My Five Stages" from Season 5.
She has appeared in many stage productions on Broadway, Off-Broadway, and elsewhere, including most recently in the 2006-2007 national touring production of On Golden Pond.
Personal life
She was born on April 9, 1939, in Washington, D.C., but lived on a farm with her five sisters for the first ten years of her life.
She has been married three times. Her first husband was Canadian-American actor Peter Donat, from 1956-1972. She had three children by this marriage (which ended in divorce): Caleb, Christopher, and Lucas. Her second marriage, to Glenn Chadwick, lasted from 1975-1977, again ending in divorce. In 1979, she married actor/screenwriter William Parker IV. Records indicate she has been married to John Doherty since 1997, although it is not known how her marriage to Parker ended.[citation needed]Error on call to Template:cite web: Parameters url and title must be specified.

Hello Beauties!
Here is my lipstick collection!
Up until 2 years ago, I didn't own more than 2-3 lipsticks, but now , thanks to internet/e-bay mostly, I own all these goodies.
Hello Beauties!
Here is my lipstick collection!
Up until 2 years ago, I didn't own more than 2-3 lipsticks, but now , thanks to internet/e-bay mostly, I own all these goodies.
Hello beauties!
Its'a bit winterish for color, that's why I was waiting for the period of year to come and make the swatch
Its one of my favorite colors atm, if not the most favorite.
Color is… I don't know how to describe it. In other reviews online it was described as.. " Soft Reddish Coral" "A red with a tinge of orange and pink" " berry/red/rose" , " mauv-y red with hints of coral" . I think – suprizingly – everything fits, depends on the canvas you are working it. For example, in my deadly white hand it looks like this:
Where you can see the coraly/orangy touch. To my lips though, I d say is a light mauve-berry to wine.
Its kinda sheer, but leaves a lovely finish, and is of course, very moisturizing.
I wouldn't say that is a MLBB color, its a bit more dark to fit that. But its an extremely wearable color.Suprizingly, in dark looks darker, so you can also wear it in night hours as well.
Its a very underrated color and I really don't see why ! I think that fits all the skin tones, and its a color that you could wear all the time .
Would you buy such color?
Lots of love
Hello beauties.
Its ELF time again.
I was about to make a review about some ELF products all together, but I hadn't really tried this lipstick before. Once I did it, I had to post about it seperately.
There was not long ago that I said that I don't usually try darker lipsticks, because I prefer "safer" colors. Being pale in my skin, with dark hair, and big lips for my face, a too bright, or too red color for me is very risky.
I can't really describe how much I loved this color. From the moment I tried it , I … just loved it ! It might just be me, and you might disagree with me, that's why I ll swatch it and I expect your opinion as well.
Elf says : Spicy Warm Red Creme
I don't know how exactly to describe it, its like the color of cherries? Wine red? Don't know, its just looking great 😉
Looks just okay, isn't it ? But look it on my lips…
And how it actually looks with my skintone, colors,etc
So, what do you think?
I am delussional or it looks as good as I think it does?
Lots of Love.
Hello beauties!
I am so sorry for being absent for that long, but I am (still) out of Athens, I use and older-than-death-PC, plus I was sick for over a week, and didn't really have the energy to blog.
Before doing any other swatch, I realized that I had 2 Korres lippies that I forgot.
Many times I buy a product, don't like it atm, and then remember it and use it again.
This time is Korres' soft touch lip pen in "dark pink" and Korres' guava lipstick in nude.
And here they are swatched in my hand
There is no need to say that I prefer the dark pink over the nude. The nude isn't exactly nude, its more orangy than it should be, so, now I remember why I didn't really enjoyed it in the first place. Dark pink is a MLBB color, that I love.
(Something I remembered. I recently bought a lipstick from a brand named "prestige", and while from the outside looked like pink, was very orangy. The lipstick quality is amazing, but the color is bad, I might swatch it soon. Greek readers, have you ever tried prestige?)
But, out of those two, I prefer the quality of the guava lipstick. Its more moisturizing and glides perfect when applied. While the Soft touch lip pen (apricot line?) is very stable, and has a veeery good staying power, its more "dry". Not so on the lips, but in the touch of it.
I wear the pink very often, but the nude, not. Only with a lipgloss.(Its a shame I can't use it as much as I want)
Have a look of both in my lips, and decide yourselves as well
And here is the guava lipstick in nude
What do you think? Do you like Korres lippies?
Lots of Love beauties.
Hello Beauties….
How have you been? I had a bad time in holidays since I got sick.. again.. Ever Xmas I m getting sick :S
I am still not totally okay, but , in better condition…
I know, I know its unacceptable for me that I haven't update my posts for too long.
The think is that I had an 6 y.o camera of 6Mpx, that I was using. During holidays I got a new one of 12Mpx, but I can't really use it the same.
The photos tent to get lighter, so I tried 3 times to swatch Bling, and couldn't see the color (I saw in reality), in the photos…
I did something different today, its not that its the best thing I can do, but anyway…
This is Nyx Black Label lipstick in Bling. Very popular color, I could say…
(okay okay, I might have put the 3rd photo just to show my nails (Opi Dutch tulip and INM hologram silver)
I tried different angles and lighting to show you the color…
And here it is swatched in my arm, together with Iconic (which I will swatch very soon) and Minimalism…
(L-t-R : Bling, Iconic, Minimalism)
About Black Label series….
Well, Black label is indeed different from the round lipsticks series.. Not only in price, but in quality, smell, packaging…
Its NOT more pigmented but its more moisturizing, has a bit longer staying power, and smells better. The packaging looks more "high quality", but I prefer round lipstick's more… Smaller, and fits better in smaller handbags/clutches.
The Black Label Bling…
Bling is a neutral color, for every day. I can't really describe it , its surely pink, but its very.. grey. I mean, its kind of a boring pink with grey undetones?
Being pale myself, NC20, BUT with dark brown hair/brows and green eyes, and naturally NON-blushing cheeks, I wanted something to look more… alive in me.
I usually have the corpse look, so this doesn't really help
It is a beautiful color, actually. I just need to year it with more strong eye makeup, I guess…
What do you think? Have you used it ? Have you used Black label lipsticks from Nyx?
Stay tuned and enjoy!
Lots of Love
PS: In my following posts I will show you my Elf haul (when it will arrive) is as well as "What's in my bag" post (probably tommorow)…
Also, Iconic's swatch (Nyx round lipstick), which is AMAZING! I already love it ! I adore it !
Well well well…..
I would like to thank all of my followers, who little by little are growing in numbers 🙂 Thank you very much! ♥
So.. Yesterday I went to Hondos Center (kind of Greek version of Sephora – more popular in Greece than Sephora- ) to buy a nail polish of my fave brand seventeen.
Something caught my eye, and was a cosmetics stand of the German brand "essence". Essence is super cheap, with okay quality. I first saw it 3 years ago to a (business) trip I had to Germany. It had some football matches so colleauges were watching football and I decided to go shopping instead. I bought some nail polishes and lipglosses back then. I remember loving the polishes 🙂
So, I got my self an eyeshadow base, a lipstick (around 2.5€) , a nail polish and a dry-fast nail drops (yes, it IS useless but anyway)….
Together with Nyx's Heather and Frappucino, I am going to swatch essence's no #53 "All about cupcake".
This time my photos are very -very crappy, my camera is old, and probably in its last days,too… Its only 6mP . I have it for like .. 5 years !!!
Here are the lipsticks in natural light
Here is Nyx's Frappucino:
Frappucino is an orangy-pink-brown-nude whatever color… Its a best seller, but its not MY color.
Its not that is bad, with certain make-up will actually look better, but its not that its my favorite either. Its not because of the color itself, but because of MY colors.
I am very pale myself (NC20) and very "deadly-white", too. You know, my cheeks are never naturally blushed, my undertones are yellow,etc….
Here is Nyx's Heather :
This color is very-very creamy. Its so much creamy that seems like shimmering while it is not.
I was kinda dissapointed on Heather to be honest . I thought it was a natural color , on the purple side (which it is ), and it looks great in the photos but …
…..Its not that flattering in reality.
It seems "fake" in lips (do I make sense?) , and makes teeth look more yellow. Maybe its not flattering to me though, I don't know..
And here is Essence's All about cupcake. (last photo is my bare lips)
Its sheer.Very sheer. It gives you that pinky-natural color, but its almost like wearing a lip balm. Compared to my bare lips, it gives just a pinky glimpse of color.
It has a nice smell which I can't really tell what it is, but a bit "cheap-quality" packaging, though its a modern-looking packaging…
Bottom line?… Hm, I don't know. I can't really tell about "All about cupcake" since It gives only a little color. No negative thoughts for sure.. But I.. don't know..
What do you think about the lipsticks and the shades? You liked any? Do you have any of those? Who looks better one me ?
Thank you once again
Today I received my last order of Nyx with:
Round Lipsticks: Cocoa – Perfect – Pumpkin Pie – Heather and Hermes
(I already have Mars,Minimalism,Milan, Tea Rose, Frappucinno and B52)
Mega shine Lipgloss : Juicy Red and Tea Rose
(I already have Smokey and natural)
Round Lipgloss : Apricot and Pinky Natural
(I also have the Lip Spa in Sake color)
I also bough MAC Mineralize SPF foundation (NC20) , Korres lip Butter ( Peach and Rose ) , as well as Korres Cherry gloss in Nude
I will start with swatching B52 and Milan…
But I will continue with everything requested from you from those listed above.
I have a huge list of nail polishes too, as well as other cosmetics, but I want to swatch those first…
Thanks for following and reading.
Lots of love

PJ and Loungewear Line Coming to HSN
Carole H****** coming to HSN first show airs 1-26-17
Her new line is called Comfortably You
***Edited by HSN – Removed Copyrighted name to comply with Community Guidelines***
Good news. Very nice brand, comfortable and well made.
Yeah!! I've worn her pj's for many years and they were always good quality. Thanks for the info.:smileyhappy:
Hello girls and happy holiday's. Thanks for the heads up I will be watching this line.:heart:
I am looking forward to Carole's line on HSN!:womanhappy: I own lounge/pjs sets, all of them so comfortable.
Merry Christmas to all my old and new HSN buddies! I love lounge wear and feel comfortable and can eat as many cookies as I want! No zipper to adjust!??
Her lounge wear is Awesome!!!!!!
I think she was listed on one of Oprah's Favorite Things years ago. She was on Q. Nice to see her on HSN.
That's good news ????. Thanks a lot and Merry Christmas!
Oops, It was Karen Neuburger pajamas not Carole H******. Carole has nice lounge wear, but not one of Oprah's favorite things but very nice. Sorry for the oops.
***Edited by HSN – Removed Copyrighted name to comply with Community Guidelines***
, thank you so much for the info on this pajama line. I have this dear friend from church and her name is Martha (she is 82 years young) and she is a cajun (so am I). I started a new adventure for us, it's called 'PAJAMA DAY'. Well, every week I go to Martha's house and bring lunch and a movie and we are in our pajamas. Sometimes we will go sit at Sonic or go run errands in our pajamas. She loves this so much. Just the other day (and many other times also) she tells me, "THIS DAY, PAJAMA DAY, MAKES ME FEEL YOUNG AGAIN). So, being that this new pajama and loungewear line will be coming I will definitely be watching. It might be time for me and Martha to update our wardrobe…lol…:womanvery-happy:
I like her PJs. They are also at Costco now .
In a sense Carole H****** is competing against her name . Carole H****** left the line sold by QVC a couple years ago, she was the chief creative officer . She had to leave her name with Carole H****** Design Group. That company is still making products for the Q. They are riding on her name .
H******'s company is a unit of Naked Brand Group Inc, She is the designer and creator of the designs and productions. Carole H****** joined as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Creative Officer and Chairwoman.
Carole H****** is a real designer!
Carole's products are now sold under the product name Comfortably You.
She has said —
Our new collection offers women unmatched comfort and style with unique details, on-trend colors, and modern prints that set these pieces apart from the ordinary and expected. I'm thrilled to be partnering with HSN on the Comfortably You brand and in bringing consumers the choices, variety, and elevated sleepwear experience they desire with the comfort they deserve.

I have been pondering lately the situation of Revival Theater here in America and more specifically on Broadway. I myself have spent time working for a not-for-profit theater company that focused on revivals and have grown up with the idea that such endeavors are beneficial for the cultural growth of our community. I still believe in that today but I would like to consider with such an idea the reality of the amount of revive-able theater there is. So thinking about these two aspects, first the benefits of having older shows revived and second the amount of shows we can revive, I have come to consider the process in choosing what to revive when. This process is not something I've put much thought to in the past. When Cabaret opened a few years back I thought it was phenomenal. I loved it to the extent that I saw it five times before it closed. Never once though did I think about why Roundabout was putting it on now. What had compelled them to pick this production for this date? Perhaps they themselves didn't have an answer for that but I find that hard to believe.
So I started there, thinking about these various aspects of revival culture and have begun to formulate some conclusions, obviously these conclusions are based around examples, recent ones that I had the good fortune to see last week. In the two examples I pondered the question of how one should pick what production to revive when.
Let me start with the bad case, South Pacific which is currently in preview at Lincoln Center in New York. The show is a classic work of theater and this current production stars Kelli O'Hara a contemporary master of theatrical performance. And yet I cite this as a bad case of theatrical revival. My parents, who I saw the show with, will cite the stage direction as the primary reason for disappointment. I agree with them but I found yet another problem. For me I felt that what I had seen was in essence and in form, a rerun. The idea disturbed me, have we forced theater into such a commercial atmosphere that what is being produced now is only the garbage we know was once successful? WHERE IS THE RISK! If I wanted to see the South Pacific from the 50s I would have rented the movie!
Now let me back up for a second here and clarify a few things. I do not mean to say that the show should have been altered to be set in a modern time, no that is not the essence of reviving a show. Rather the script needs to be looked at, the morals of the story evaluated and the director and crew need to ask themselves what their vision is. That is fundamental with reviving, a new vision, a new interpretation, a new show. If a director cannot discover some new vision in the work he is charged with reviving, than perhaps he should not be reviving it. Ultimately what I am suggesting is that revivals are not revivals but are productions of their own, that's why we award the best a Tony each year. These are unique creative works that are both tied to the original as well as the contemporary culture to which they are presented.
This brings me to the second show, a show I believe greatly reflects the continued trends in our culture over how to deal with art and industry. Sunday in the Park with George, a wonderful Sondheim production which is currently being revived at Studio 54 by the Roundabout Theatre Company. Now first I am aware that this production is much more modern in its original than South Pacific and therefore lends itself better to being revised. However the themes of the original show are not all that is inspiring and encouraging about the current revival. This particular production utilized technology in a truly enhancing way. This new approach allowed for the production itself to do what the music and action already have mastered, create. When revived again, I can promise you that this show will not look like it does for the way in which this director has envisioned the story is unique, it is not a shadow of yesteryear as seen in South Pacific.
With that being said I'll end with my opinion and hope it fosters a discussion. Revivals are unique, they are neither new productions nor reruns of old productions, they are a hybrid, a truly unique formula for producing a show that needs to be treated accordingly. In that treatment of such works the question of why must be easily answered by the audience. It is vision and relevance that pick the shows for revision, not original popularity. I love revivals, I love how they can connect today with yesterday by both honoring the history of theater while adding to it. In this respect South Pacific does not add to the culture of theater, it only mimics it. But seeing how it has already received much attention I may be wrong in how America wants to use the idea of revivals. Perhaps all we really want is mimicry. After all thousands perhaps millions more flock to museums than galleries, are we really so tied up in glorifying our past that we forget we have a present?
That is all,

Tricolor Melon Salad (serves 4)
A summer fruit salad that is really light and refreshing and captures the essence of summer. The lime juice adds an extra dimension and is not sharp at all as it blends with the melon juices. Serve for lunch or dinner, take along to a picnic and I also eat it for breakfast.
Just take an equal amount of ripe watermelon, cantaloupe and honeydew melons and chop into small chunks.
Pour over juice of 1/2 a lime and mix well together.
Cover and let stand for a while so flavor develops.

I just got news that I have to share: An Unexpected Father, my April release, was chosen as one of Romantic Times Book Reviews 'Top Picks'. They gave it four and a half stars, too! I am stunned and honored.
For me, writing a book and sending it out for publication feels a little like sending my children off to school. How are they going to do? Will the other kids like them? Will they behave? Will anyone understand the effort I put in to raising them right? I know that you have to just send it off and hope for the best, but it's difficult mothering such an unruly child. When a review and kudos like this come along, they bring grateful tears to my eyes.
When I was a teenager, my dad came home one night from work and hugged me. Just out of the blue. Now, my dad's not really a demonstrative guy. I'd never had any doubt that he loved me, but hugs were for special occasions: birthdays, injuries, good report cards. If you'd been away on a trip—not just a weekend sleepover—yeah, a hug was due. He was glad to see me and I was glad to see him. But his return home from just another day at the office was not a 'huggable' event. A kiss from my mom was enough of a greeting for him.
On this particular evening, as far as I knew, I hadn't done anything spectacular. I was a teenager; no one expected spectacular from me. Getting through those teen years was sometimes all anyone hoped for really, me included. Mostly, I think I was a relatively easy kid to raise—especially after my older brother. My parents didn't pull their hair out too much over my moodiness, I paid attention in school, I was popular enough. You know, normal. So, I had no idea why my dad hugged me. When I asked, I was embarrassed by his answer. In a good way, though.
I had just spent the weekend with a close friend and gone out on a hike with her family. I didn't know it, but my dad, a forester, was managing a timber sale with my friend's father. At work that day, this father asked my dad if I was his daughter. After my dad admitted it was so, the guy shook my dad's hand and congratulated him on having a good kid. He was impressed because I had picked up some trash on our hike and carried it back out of the woods.
This wasn't a special thing to me; it was the way I had been raised. But it sure was to my dad. He got to find out—from a complete stranger—that all the hard work of being a parent had paid off. I feel that way about my book. The characters I loved writing went out into the world and did something good. It's a small thing, like picking up a piece of trash, but they made me proud.
Of course, after I read the review, I hugged them, too.

Charles Redfern spills the beans over at HuffPo:
It's time I come clean. I'm an evangelical with a secret. A covert "real me" peaks from the shadows and longs to leap into the sunlight. World events compel me to throw caution to the wind and blare my confession: I'm a wanna-be Catholic.
There. I feel better.
Many are issuing calls for reforms as the cardinals convene. I have my own wish list rooted in the usual historic Protestant complaints, but the announcement compels me to dwell on what I admire. There is much to appreciate.
First, the Roman curia's politics are delightfully confusing. Many go slack-jawed in their efforts to cram the mitered eminences into modern partisan categories. They don't fit. Witness Pope John Paul II: He swung left in decrying America's decadence, right on abortion, left when the U.S. invaded Iraq, right in his opposition to liberation theology, left on climate change and left on the death penalty. The political "experts" perched before the cameras and "analyzed" his "inner motives." Was the pontiff moody? Mercurial? Intellectually unbalanced? What's his game and to which constituency was he appealing and how would this play in Peoria?Believe it or not, most Catholic leaders are not mugging for the cameras. They're doing their level best to preserve a 2,000-year tradition that defies modern pigeonholes. Only a fraction of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics live in America, so they'd be mining data from the global south if they were market-driven leaders; but, more to the point, they know their Church survived persecution, the Arian heresy, Docetism, Donatism, the fall of the Roman Empire, the Dark Ages, the Middle Ages, the Black Death, the Reformation, the Renaissance, the French Revolution, Fascism and Communism. They lionize sacrificial martyrs, not question-dodging candidates. Right-wing death squads murdered Latin American priests, nuns and bishops; left-wing Eastern European despots threw them into prisons — and they remember who got the last laugh at Stalin's question: "How many divisions does the pope have?"
For all their huge flaws (covering up priestly pedophilia will rank high on their scandal list), most cardinals and bishops view their Deity as their commanding constituency. Their Church has outlasted civilizations and empires — and the mighty USA is a smart-aleck toddler smoking a cigar. Don't take it personally, Peoria. We love you and we pray for you, but your finite wishes pale when compared with an infinite Being's.
Come on in and swim the Tiber, Rev! The water's fine!

Compstat is the systematic use of data and heightened accountability to reduce crime. Compstat was first implemented in 1994 by the New York Police Department (NYPD). Compstat's primary goal is to make police organizations more rational and responsive to management direction. NYPD's intent was to create a simple database with information about the major crimes that cities must report to the FBI. However, the database became an elaborate program where police entered crime reports into a computer system that sorted them by type. Officers than began scrutinizing the statistics to create maps and charts to show notable changes and emerging problem areas. Advocates claim that Compstat has spurred the development of innovative, local, crime-fighting strategies and improved public safety.
The Lowell Police Department (LPD) in Massachusetts, which had seen a decline in their crime rate beginning in 1994, saw a continued decline with the implementation of the Compstat program. However, in its deviation from New York's prototype, Lowell's program was subject to internal conflicts. This report, supported by the U.S. Department of Justice, National Institute of Justice provides a challenge to Compstat's proponents by showing the program to be a tool whose potential is unfulfilled. This report provides a systematic analysis of the elements of Compstat and their implementation in smaller police departments, focusing on the Lowell Police Department.

I first started to like music was my freshman year of high shool. The history teacher was teaching us about the Mexican/American wars or about the Mexican revolution. He decided to show us a music video. He recorded off MTV or a channel that actually shows music videos. The band was calle Rage Against the Machine, and the song was 'People of the Sun'.
The video showed images of note from Mexico 's past. What got me visually about the video was the sight of Indegenouse peoples of mexico as bodies in a morgue. Audio wise what got my attention was the anger in the singer's voice. I later learned that the singer was named Zack de la Rocha.
After high school during college, I bought Rage Against the Machine albums: 'Rage Against the Machine", 'Evil Empire', 'Battle for Los Angeles ', and their album of covers, "Renegades'. I enjoyed all of them. I made a mix tape of my favorite tracks from the albums.
During college was the time I was introduced to playing guitar. I had a roommate that played guitar. One day while he was playing there was a knock at the door. A tall good looking blonde was at the door. She asked if she could enter and see who was playing guitar. My other roommate and I were amazed and let her in. The guitar playing roommate was in his room. We didn't know what they talked about and as long as I was his roommate they never saw each other again. From then on, I said to myself "I best get myself a guitar!"
The first guitar I got was a no-brand plaything that came with a little amp of the same no-brand.
Later after I moved ou on my own I was buying every useless used guitar I could find with the little money I made working at a fast-food restaurant. My idea was to eventually start my own guitar shop.
I tried to get a contract from a leading brand so I could sale at a swap meet. The person I spoke to on the phone was upset I was wasting his time with the call and hung up. I got his number from a girl at a leading music store. She might of been fired for giving me the number.
The dream ended when moved back home with my parents. I traded all my guitars, mostly broken ones, for one Dean Markley guitar. The shop later went out of business.
While I had the dream of having my own guitar shop and not having the dream I would record myself playing guitar/bass/drum machine. I would make little songs and not think I could make it big with my music. That was until a friend I made online told me about SoundClick.com. There you could upload songs and sale them as .MP3's. They did that way before MySpace.com did. So far I have made only .25 cents. The song was bought by a company that was only phising for info. Phising i when people online try to get your personal information.
You can find my tracks on SoundClick.com here. My music on MySpace.com is here.
I stopped making music when my PC got hi-jacked by a virus that didn't let me access files. An update fixed the problem. I was also sidetracked by designing t-shirts (read my blog post "My T-Shirt Shop Venture").

CES 2016: In 2008, the total number of streaming hours worldwide was estimated at 0.1 billion. Today, it's 42.5 billion. That's an astronomical increase in just seven years — and its only going to keep growing. In another seven years, most free-to-air networks will be as good as dead.
Netflix's CEO Reed Hastings showed off the impressive numbers at CES 2016. As you can see in the below slide, the growth of video streaming over the past decade has been astonishing.
Of course, a lot of this has to do with advancements in internet speeds and newly emerging markets. Be that as it may, there can be little doubt that this is the way most consumers prefer to get their entertainment. If you look at the VCR and PVR, it has arguably always been this way.
As Hastings explained: "what consumers have [always] wanted is to choose when to watch... On demand television. With the internet we can finally give people this and put consumers in the driver's seat when it comes to when and where they want to watch."
Personally, I think there's still a place for scheduled programming — those "watercooler" moments have less impact when everyone is watching at different times. The "Red Wedding" from Game Of Thrones wouldn't have had nearly as much impact if all the episodes had been released at the same time. Nevertheless, it seems that most people vastly prefer choice and binge watching to passive, serialised viewing. Let us know what you think in the comments.

Last weekend, London was host to a multitude of events: concerts, royal visits, more than 1000 boats on the Thames, but most of all the very first Fat Quarterly retreat.
I bought a weekend ticket, so I had time to follow 4 workshops. I signed in for workshops that would allow me to learn new techniques, so I started from scratch in every class. As it was obvious that the Fat Quarterly organizers went to great lengths to make everything possible and put a lot of time and effort in this weekend (I can't even start to imagine how much time went into organizing this event), I think it's only fair to them to put at least some time and effort into this post and give an honest account. So prepare for lots of text.
Saturday morning: registration and goodie bag
Registration went smoothly, and to my surprise and delight, everyone received a goodie bag. There was fabric (Moda, Robert Kaufman and Oakshott), and plenty of fun stuff that always comes in handy. And Aurifil, which I have never used, so I will get a chance to see how different it is from my usual Gütermann.
The contents of the goodie bag
We also received a "lottery ticket", and to my surprise I actually won something later that day: a "Sassy" by Sandy Gervais layer cake!
Saturday AM: Freezer paper piecing with Kerry
Kerry makes the most beautiful blocks using this technique, so it's not an exaggeration to call her an expert. We could choose between several examples, some with Y-seams and one without. I chose the simplest block (without the Y-seams) because I had never done freezer paper piecing before. Everything was explained clearly by Kerry, who brought several examples of finished pincushions and mini-quilts.
The start
Kerry is a teacher in real life, and it showed: this clearly was a professional at work. She was prepared for everything (or at least looked as if she was), brought enough material so that even the forgetful students could participate (I plead guilty here: I had no freezer paper, kind of annoying in a freezer paper class), explained everything clearly and had several blocks in a half-finished stage so that we could see where to go from then. On top of that, she had a kind word for everyone and managed to encourage us all individually.
My only regret is that I did not choose a block with Y-seams, as I think it would have challenged me more. But the most important thing is that I learned the technique. I'm really happy to have followed this workshop and am sure I'll use the technique again in the future. I actually have already been searching the internet to buy some freezer paper.
This was my finished block. It has yet to be transformed into a pincushion.
Saturday PM: English paper piecing with Tacha (and Brioni)
Another technique, and again an expert to teach us. Tacha makes stunning cushions, clocks and even whole quilts using this technique. She has a book out now, explaining how to do it, but I was lucky enough to be in her class.
We could choose between 3 projects: Hexed in, Snowball and Square dance. I always have admired (not to say envied) the Square dance cushion that Tacha made, so I naively thought to give that a try and enthusiastically cut hundreds of tiny pieces of fabric in preparation of this class. I was a fool.
The first 15 minutes or so of the class were spent cutting paper pieces (it is called paper piecing after all), something I also should have done at home. After that there was a short explanation, and everyone started sewing.
It took me about another 15 minutes or so to go completely nuts. Fiddling and tinkering with those small pieces of paper and fabric drove me insane. I didn't have the patience to do it, and probably never will. I might consider making a big quilt using this design and machine stitch it, that might be a possibility. But at least I gave it a try and know that it's not my cup of tea. And it was nice to sit all together at a big round table. Now that I know how much time goes into making her quilts, I admire Tacha even more! The amount of patience of that lady is beyond my imagination and reach. And I must not forget to add that Brioni was absolutely charming and wonderful.
This is what I had managed after 2,5 hours in the workshop
And this is what I had after exploring my masochistic side
and spending a couple more hours working on it.
and spending a couple more hours working on it.
Sunday AM: Fatquarterly design challenge with Katy en John
I was a bit surprised to find this workshop on my list of classes, as I did not remember signing in for this class, but I thought, why not? Tips about making your own block design and how to mix and match fabrics are needed and welcome as far as I'm concerned.
Everyone sat at one of the big round tables again, paper and pencil ready, and John gave a very short introduction about how useful it can be to sit behind a piece of paper and think about an original block design. First we had to make a block with squares and rectangles, then with triangles and finally with stars. Everyone had to show his design after each round and explain the how and why of it. It was a unusually calm and silent class, firstly because the group was really small, and secondly because everyone was concentrated on their own design.Glancing at your neighbour's design felt a bit like cheating in school. And John and Katy were really sweet, but were also concentrated on their design, like everyone else around the table.
To be honest, I could have used a bit more tips about designing a quilt block. The idea is not without merit, but I wouldn't exactly call it a class, as I don't really have the impression I learned something. Maybe it should have been more concrete, or a theoretical part followed by a class? Analyzing different quilt blocks and quilts? A bit more interaction at the table? And some mixing and matching fabrics tips would have been welcomed too.
Sunday PM: Portholes technique with Lucie Summers
This was without a doubt the class I was most looking forward to. The portholes quilt from Lucie Summers is stunning and I was very curious to see how to make these blocks.
Lucie was a fun teacher, although it was sometimes difficult to hear her because of the noise from the other groups in the main hall. But she made sure to go to everyone and explained everything to me again so I could get started again in a slightly less chaotic way than my first try.
It turned out to be quite simple, actually, and I managed to finish one porthole without a problem. If I had brought my own sewing machine, no doubt I would have managed to make a second block. I'm really looking forward to make more blocks with the flower template we also received. And maybe make letters, that would be fun. Everyone was really exited about this class and I'm sure there will be plenty of portholes quilts showing up on Flickr over the next couple of weeks and months.

Today's educators must deal with a tremendous gap between how students live and how they learn. Most schools fall critically behind in utilization of emerging technologies. Mobile handheld technology has the power to transition occasional, supplemental use of computers for instruction to more frequent, integral use of technology across a multitude of settings. This session will showcase how cloud computing using Web 2.0 tools can promote communication, creation, and collaboration for untethered learning. Demonstrations will show how students can use an Apple iTouch and an iPad for ubiquitous, 24/7 access making it possible for students to access a wider array of resources to support their learning, to communicate with peers and their teachers, and to become fluent in their use of the technological tools of the 21st century workplace.

Thieves steal diamond ring at Tiffany's in Paris
Police say three men pretending to be customers stole a $353,200 diamond ring from the Tiffany & Co. store in Paris' upscale Printemps department store. A Paris police official said Thursday's heist happened at around 1030 GMT. Three men posing as customers asked to look at several very expensive rings. They eventually decided on a three-carat diamond set on a platinum ring. The thieves took advantage of a moment's inattention by the sales person to make off with the ring, also avoiding detection by Printemp's security guards. . .

Put your money on your mortgage
The best thing to do with spare cash is to put it towards paying off your Sydney home loan more quickly, according to financial planning experts.
Making additional mortgage repayments is the best way to put yourself in a better financial position
Andrew Heaven of AMP told the Sydney Morning Herald: "You can't save and have debt at the same time."
Putting money on the mortgage has the benefit of low investment risk, low costs and the effective investment returns will beat just about anything else on the market, he said.
Financial planner Greg Pride agreed: "To generate an after-tax return of seven per cent you would need a ten to 12 per cent return elsewhere to beat knocking out the mortgage,".
He explained that putting $5,000 into your mortgage redraw or offset account is effectively earning an after-tax return equivalent to your home loan interest rate.
Mr Heaven also recommended creating an offset account tied to the mortgage if you do not want to tie up the money in the home loan directly.
One suggestion is to have your pay go straight into the offset account to save interest- the money in the account reduces the balance of the mortgage on which interest is calculated.

Akira Raijin (July 17, 1978) is a Japanese professional wrestler from All Japan Pro Wrestling who competed as Kiyoshi in North America for the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling promotion.
Trained by former junior heavyweight contender Masanobu Kurisu, Raijin made his debut in 1998, competing primarily on the independent circuit. In 2004, he competed in All Japan for sometime with marginal success, as he would generally be wrestling the first match of all of the shows with no victories. He spent 2005 and 2006 in similar fashion, but would get some levels of success competing occasionally with Mutoh as well as Suwama.
In 2007, he left Japan to live in Windsor, Ontario, Canada with Scott D'Amore to gain "learning experience" in North America, where he competed for numerous independent promotions, including a match against the NWA Junior heavyweight champion Mike Quackenbush in CHIKARA, which he lost.
He has since returned to All Japan Pro Wrestling where he captured the AJPW Gaora TV Championship on two occasions.

OAKLAND, Calif. — Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr was ejected early in the third quarter of Monday night's preseason game against the Phoenix Suns.
The incident came just nine seconds into the period after Warriors guard Stephen Curry was called for his second offensive foul of the game and the Warriors' sixth. After exchanging words with referee Ben Taylor, Curry was given a technical foul.
Kerr came to the defense of his star guard, coming onto the floor to protest Taylor's whistle. Kerr was promptly ejected, and replays showed the coach telling the referees, "I don't want to be here anyway," as he continued to protest the calls.
Kerr waved at the referees on his way off the floor and then high-fived some of his players on his way back to the locker room.
After the game, Kerr drew laughter from the assembled media when asked if he wanted to be there.
"No comment," he said.
Kerr acknowledged that he came out on the floor with the purpose of being ejected from the game.
"Yes," Kerr said. "I was trying to make a point and I was trying to back up my guys. We had all these offensive fouls, one after another. And I finally had enough."
After joking that he wanted to be the first person at the Warriors' postgame food spread, the veteran coach said the referees were right to toss him from the game.
"I was in the wrong, obviously." Kerr said. "I got what I deserved."
Curry appreciated the fact his coach was willing to stand up for the team.
"I love it," Curry said. "Love it. We got a good vibe going about what we're doing. It's never too early to get that fire going, so we'll see how we sustain that throughout the year. But when obviously a blatant call, we think, should go one way goes the other, he's going to have a reaction to it. It doesn't matter if it's preseason, regular season or playoffs. It's nice for him to have that fire for sure."
Like many in the Warriors' locker room, Curry enjoyed seeing the replays of Kerr's outburst and subsequent wave after the game.
"We're all in this together," Curry said. "And obviously we have to have each other's backs. It's kind of one of our core principles — so he has opportunities to try and influence things with outbursts if he needs to or stuff that he says to us in the locker room or whatever the case is. So knowing that we're out there giving it everything we got throughout the year that a coach has your back, not pinching his wallet when he has the opportunity to kind of speak his mind, it means a lot."
Warriors forward Kevin Durant, who also received a technical foul in the first half, said Kerr's outburst was a "top five" ejection that he had seen in his career.
"I guess he's getting ready for the regular season," Warriors forward Kevon Looney said. "I expect one ejection each year. I think he beat KD to it. I thought KD was going to get ejected [first]."
As for Kerr's much replayed words about not wanting to be at the game, Looney couldn't help but chuckle.
"I feel him," Looney said. "Steve's been around a lot of basketball his whole career, so I think he didn't care for this game."

Social media marketing has become a necessary part of almost every business. It is cost-effective, fairly simple to maneuver, and has a wide reach. While the possibilities in growing your business online are seemingly endless, you are first tasked to choose your initial platform.
For the majority, Facebook is definitely the first way to go, but with constantly expanding and evolving marketing trends, will the social media giant be comparable to any other network? Apparently, Instagram, also now owned by Facebook, is here to be not just an alternative, but also a viable option.
Are the two comparable? Many would say that this is a case of David and Goliath and that Facebook has the clear cut advantage. However, others would argue that this is more of a comparison of apples and oranges — they might be both social media platforms, but they are for totally different purposes with entirely opposite functions and that you should not disregard one over the other easily.
First Impression: Instagram is pretty straightforward — its main function is sharing and viewing photos and videos. Through the years it has had improvements in video length, direct messaging, "your day" posting, and overall design, but the purpose remains the same. Facebook, on the other hand, has monstrously evolved from a profile-based website to a staple in social media marketing. It almost has everything: groups, pages, shops, status and multi-media sharing, messenger, events, trending news, and more.
While Facebook has become a one-stop shop, it can become overwhelming with a lot of things happening at the same time. Instagram remains clean and crisp with simple functions, no more, no less.
Reach and Target Market: If you're looking for reach, then there is no doubt that Facebook, with a whopping 1.4 billion active monthly users, is the right place for you. If you're more on a niche market, then Instagram's humble 300 monthly active users might be your haven.
Facebook definitely dominates the mass market, while Instagram is a more hip, non-mainstream option. The former is strong with older generation users, while the latter has proven to captivate more youth and women.
If you're after engagement, then Instagram is your better bet. More people are turning to this app because of more accessible communication with celebrities and influencers and generally higher interaction rate.
Know more about the best social media platform for your business by having our experts assess and handle your marketing needs. Call us now for a free consultation.

Did someone make a HUGE error or are Beyoncé and Jay-Z keeping a joint tour on the down low?
An On The Run 2 tour date for 30th July in Philadelphia was posted briefly on Beyoncé's Ticketmaster page saying it was going to be both her and Jay-Z but it was then removed very quickly. Despite it being removed, Beyoncé fans spotted the tour date and have circulated it across social media platforms! It's safe to say that everyone is a little excited about the prospect of another joint tour between the power couple.
UMMMMM SO BEYONCÉ JUST ADDED THIS EVENT ON TICKETMASTER??? pic.twitter.com/OWkJ4R5yZm— Cheddar Baé Biscuit (@T_dot_Lee_PhD) March 5, 2018
Everyone's asking the same questions. Was it a huge mistake made by someone (who is now probably running away and hiding)? Is this dream actually a reality? Did they purposely do this to get everyone hyped? Who do we thank?
I just want to know who was the person who prematurely posted the Beyoncé concert info. I'm sure they're packing their things in a box as I tweet lol. pic.twitter.com/kqeU28RNCx— Ooh Chile...The Ghetto (@TheRonnieWilson) March 5, 2018
