Jason Aldean's New Single Steals Top iTunes Spot
Multi-platinum country music singer Jason Aldean's brand new single "Take A Little Ride" is sitting pretty on top of the all-genre iTunes singles charts this week. It's the debut single from his upcoming fifth studio album on Broken Bow Records, due out later this year. It's the first time any of Jason's singles have taken the top spot on release, and its something he's pretty excited about:
"We've never come out of the box and gone to No. one so quickly," said Aldean. "I added the song into my set this weekend on the road for the first time, and everything is feeling really great out there. I couldn't have asked for a better kick off for this new album…my fans are unbelievable."
Jason's 2012 "My Kinda Party Tour" is hitting the biggest amphitheaters in the United States throughout the summer. He's sold out every single date so far this year, and breaking attendance records at most of his shows, including his first stadium show in Columbus, Ohio. This weekend, Jason sold over 44,000 tickets in just four minutes for his tour stop in Indianapolis, IN in September – which sold 24,000 of those tickets in four minutes, and his St. Louis September show which sold over 20,000 tickets in four minutes.
Are you excited for Jason's new album?

As the summer draws to an end, school is not the only thing starting back up. The beginning of September means fall sports are about to commence, and who said the children should be the only ones enjoying these activities? Adult recreational leagues are growing and have many different sport options. Company leagues are a great way to get employees to break the ice and get excited about the company. Figuring out interesting activities for your employees to take part in outside of work will give them something to look forward to.
Getting Started
- Go Online – Do some research of local company sports leagues near your office, and pick a sport you would like your company to join. Softball and kickball leagues are growing in popularity and also offer room for about 20-25 employees to participate.
- Employee Involvement – Send out an e-mail to all employees with the details of the league; be sure to include the days and times that games and practices will take place as well as the duration of the league. If there is a high interest, you can consider creating two teams or holding tryouts. If there are too many people and cuts need to be made, consider making them alternates or team managers. Remember this is all about increasing employee morale.
- Register – Make sure you know when the leagues registration ends to be sure you sign up prior to the end date. Some leagues provide uniforms while others will leave you responsible for getting custom t-shirts made. Make sure you have everyone's correct size before ordering your teams t-shirts.
- Practice Facilities – Find a local public field and reserve an hour once every week for the team to gather and practice. If every week is not feasible, try and get together at least once every other week.
The Season is Underway
It is important for the team to communicate with one another. To get teammates talking more, consider going to a local restaurant for appetizers or dinner after games or practices. This will allow them to reflect on what happened during the game together as well as suggest ways to improve.
Instead of always practicing the entire time, set aside a half hour to do a team building activity. Try having the team stand in a circle and throw a skein of yarn to each other until every person is holding yarn; then have them try and untangle themselves without letting go of the yarn. Team building exercises are a great way to accent everyone's creativity and problem solving skills. Any additional time the squad spends together outside of work will be sure to increase their bond.
Memorabilia to Display
The league you are involved with may give out a team trophy for the winning team, but you may still want to consider having your own awards for each individual player. Consider giving out classic trophies to all participants. The trophy can have a figure of the sport as well as having the company name and year engraved on the front. Also, think about having a couple of special star acrylics to give out to people who stood out during the season. Categories for awards can be:
- Breakout Player
- Most Team Spirited
- Always a Clown
- Team Coach

My Bionic shows that I am connected to my wifi network but I can not use the browser to get online. I also cannot use with email. I do have wpa security but it shows that its connected with GOOD signal strength. I searched and a few others are having similar problems but no answer........ appreciate any suggestions
I'm having similar issues with my bionic. I'm on a non secured network. It shows wifi connected but also shows 3G active but the icons don't turn blue. tried restart and have the same issues.
I am also having the same problem. In another forum someone said changing their channel from auto to a fixed channel solved the problem. It did not work for me so I am still unable to use wifi on my home network. I was able to connect to an open network at starbucks and panera.
I have the same problem with my home WEP network. I have excellent WIFI strength, but no connection. The signal strength is grey, not blue (connected). I went to Starbucks open network, let the phone hit standby and no problems it works fine. When at home I initially could get the WIFI working by disabling it, going to the browser, pulling up a page, then restarting the WIFI, but now it does not work at all. My home Verizon strength frequently slips between 3 and 4G, which I think may have something to do with it. This is the only real problem I have with the phone. WIFI is slow on this model when it actually works.
I'm sure everyone with Wi-fi problems know this, but just in case, I saw this on another another forum. There is an enabled wi-fi time out in the phone to save battery if the phone does not experience activity for 15 mins. Changing the wi-fi setting is what was needed. In the case of these people, it was not a flaw, but just a settings option.
I had the same problem as the OP. The WIFI connected fine but the icon stayed greyed out and no connectivity. I went through 3 levels of Tech support with Verizon and they sent me through 3 level of Motorola. The last tech said "There is something wrong with your phone. Take it back to Verizon" They swapped it out and the new one works like i should.
WiFi Problem - Bionic knocks all other PC's off WiFi I connected my Bionic to our office secure WiFi. It connected with no problem using the auto connect button. However it knocked out every computer using WiFi in the office. We could not re-establish the connections -- except by doing an uninstall of the D-Link software and re-installing it on each PC. Has anyone else had this problem or know why it might have happened?
Lol no wifi issues at all with my Bionic.....but when i first got my launch PS3 and tried to hook it up wirelessly it completely wiped out my neighbors internet to the point where they had to call the internet company out to fix it. Your Bionic just ruled all your machines..lol powerful device ya know.
My DROID Bionic quit working via WiFi thru my dlink router even though it shows an excellent signal and connected WPA. Tried hard reset of BIONIC on advice of Motorola rep - no luck. Verizon had no clue and sent me to Motorola rep. Connects fine thru 3g and sometimes 4g when it finds my unit as I must be on the border of signal 3g/4g. All my computers connect fine. Even ipad. Tried different channels etc. When I turn off the WiFi can then connect to internet. When WiFi on 3g/4g cannot connect. Access codes are correct and have to take unit back to COSTCO within 14 days in order to get a new unit. There is a definite problem with the software after reading these posted probs. Router changes do not make any difference in connections. Can still stream NETFLIX at 3g speeds. AMAZING!
Had the same problem with my d2g. I ended up power cycling my wireless router and that solved the problem. Had me scratching my head for several hours, though.
I'm having the same problems. I called VZW support and they indicated there is a fix in the works. No expectations as to when. There temporary work around is: Turn off phone pull battery Power up phone Turn ON Airplane Mode Power cycle phone (again) Turn OFF Airplane Mode
I had the same wifi symptoms. Gray connection icon but it never went blue to show data transfer. For whatever reason, the phone default was a static IP that would not work with my routers. I just turned on the "Enable Auto IP" option (DHCP) and it connected fine. Hope this helps! menu -> settings -> wireless & networks -> wifi settings -> menu button -> advanced -> check Enable Auto IP
I was having the same issue. Tried connecting to at least a half dozen networks. Each time the phone would say I was connected, and would have a strong signal, but I would have no internet. Both the 3G and Internet symbols would stay white. I spent an hour with Verizon's tech support, (It would have been less time if they actually knew the right sequences of steps to get to various screens), and they stepped me through a number of things. Somewhere along the line my internet started working, and it worked through the rest of the day. This morning I turned the phone back on, and again, nothing. I wasn't going to call them back and waste more time, as I think they just got lucky the first time. This morning I was playing with the phone, and found a setting change that corrected the issue for me. I went to... Menu - Settings - Wireless and networks - Wi-Fi Settings - Manage Networks. Once there I chose the network I was trying to connect to, and did a long press on the network name. I then chose "Proxy settings" and unchecked "use proxy server". After that everything worked fine. I've tried this when trying to connect to two other networks, and it has worked each time. Only time will tell if this fix lasts.
I'm having the same problem with my Bionic. My phone will connect to my Netgear WPN824 v3 router at home but it won't connect to the internet or load any web pages, even with full wifi signal bars. It works great on my friend's router. I'm wondering if I should take back my bionic.

Canaries stars set for wage cuts
Gunn is set to meet the board on Wednesday to discuss the plan for the future, as well as to decide whether he will be given the chance to lead the side next season. He said: "I've got meetings with the players because until I'm told otherwise, I'm managing the football club in the way I see fit. "Sammy Clingan, Darel Russell, Gary Doherty, people like that - it will be a big ask, a big test for them to play League One football. "There are players out of contract, so some of those wages will disappear. "A lot of the players under contract have ratchets in their contract to say that their wages go down in League One, so there will be savings there, and whoever the manager is he will have to decide what squad he wants to take into League One next season and that might mean the sale of some of the players to generate some transfer funds."

I'd like to show you how I see Profile, Identity, Reputation and Trust online. In other words, Brand Reputation Management – even if your brand is a Brand of One (you) you might find it interesting:
It's on Flickr - thanks to GaryPHayes who was able to interpret my scrawls into diagram
The quick and dirty version:
We create a Profile (My Account) on a site, we make friends and add applications and groups and events to define Identity. We interact over time, offering content and comments and ratings which gains us a Reputation. That Reputation is then turned into a Trust factor – we decide how trustworthy a social network member is by the way they fill out their profile, by the connections they make, and by the content they submit, all of which is over time, which is why Social Media is a long term engagement. (me, so no link )
Lemme give you an example: Twitter.
I just got this email, the standard notification:
Hi, Laurel Papworth.Steve Ireland (sireland) is now following your updates on Twitter.
Check out Steve Ireland's profile here:
You may follow Steve Ireland as well by clicking on the "follow" button.Best,
I don't know Steve Irelend, so myfirst question is: Who ARE you and why on EARTH are you following(adding me a friend) me?? heh.
I don't add everyone on Twitter – say NO! to white supremacists. Oh, and spammers.- so first thing I take note of is their real name and their *handle* or avatar name. In this case, the name is Steve Ireland (probably a real person, not a spammer) and the handle is fairly innocuous. If they have a Twitter name like BuyInsuranceCheap and no other other handle, I don't even bother logging into Twitter to check out their profile. I like dealing with real people, even real people behind companies. Like whathisname from Dell.
When I click on the email notification link, I'm taken to Steve's profile. How has he chose to represent himself on Twitter, one wonders? Well, wonder no more! :
Many new starters try to join up a lot of friends before they have figured out how to set up their profile properly. Bad move. If the handle is a general one – say 'TechDude" or something and no other information….
- no 'other' name
- no location,
- no web link,
- no Bio
….I'm tempted to not add them. Why hook up with someone who hasn't introduced themselves?
And the challenge for you is, if you are not added on the first profile check, you have a MUCH harder job getting added later!
A cleanly completed profile that is relevant to target demographic (I pretty well follow anyone who is either Australian or notes Social Media in profile, double Trust points if you say both!)
After I check the profile – how the person has chosen to reveal themselves – I check their connections. This may reveal stuff they are not aware of. Are they following more people than follow them. After all on Twitter, you follow those you think have value. Look at this one from TUBEdotTV, who chose not to give a real bio (no real person, just Los Angeles as the location).
For those of you that don't use Twitter, but know Facebook, this is like asking nearly 4,000 to be your friend but only 325 accept. I immediately assume that they are a bot (auto-RSS or something) or a spammer. So sue me If the numbers are closer to even, or a locked account (you can't follow unless invited), I feel a greater sense of trust.
When evaluating Identity, and looking at the diagram above (Social Web – Reputation Management Cycles) we can see that the connections look a bit, well, dodgy.
Reputation is the long tail of your content. Have you been naughty or nice. Asking questions – or answering them? Asking for stuff – or offering? Giggling with a great sense of humour or snarking off with rude words? You want a bad boy rep? YA GOTTA EARN IT. Anyway, you get the general idea. One blog post, one tweet, one facebook status does not build your reputation. It accumulates over time.
On Twitter I look at the members profile page to see their Archived tweets.
Steven Ireland seems pretty harmless *shrugs* nothing rivetting for me to jump on and respond, but some real conversation and links to maybe interesting articles. However with TUBEdotTV we can see the ENTIRE backlog of tweets – all four of them:
Looks like spam, smells like spam, tastes like spam, it IS spam, by golly!
Look, there is nothing wrong with TUBEdotTV. You just have to ensure that your Values and Purpose are aligned. And that's where Trust comes in. We look at the Profile, we check out Identity (events and friends lists), and Reputation (past activity, quality and tone) to determine if that person shares our Values system. If they do, we may trust them. But if they've gone out of their way to show opposite ideals from those we share, we may ignore or fight with them.
If they want to win our Trust, they go back and change their Profile, become more conscious of their Identity and friend connections, and change the quality and tone of their content. Or not. Heh.
It is only over time that we gain the trust of our network. Which is why companies need to be engaged long term, not short term: Reputation offline does not translate into Trust online. You can't walk in as the representative of a company to dowse down a flame war about your brand, if you weren't engaged before it exploded…. you need runs on the board.
Which is why it's worth mentioning how eBay are in danger of screwing their whole ecosystem.
This model applied to eBay:
- Profile – when looking at an item to purchase, what star does the seller have, how long have they been a member and so on.
- Identity – how many sales have they done?
- Reputation – what comments are left, how do they handle disputes?
- Trust – I will pay higher rates from a member who has been on eBay a long time, done a lot of similar deals and has reasonable comment rating. I pay less for a newbie, with poor sales and no/poor comments.
If you remove negative comments and negative ratings from both buyers and sellers, one can only see how the profile, connections and have to take a leap of faith on Trust.
eBay is removing negative comments to stop sellers from 'gaming' the system. I believe some sellers were giving buyers a negative rating if they returned a product, even under the agreement of how to do returns. Why not show a score of positive to negative comments? If I, as a buyer, see a seller is giving a high number of negative comments, I will stop frequenting that buyer until his/her attitude improves. *shrugs* no one will want "Number of negative comments from this Seller: 100%" will they, now?
Look at Facebook. Pretend you just got an email from someone to be your friend. How did they introduce themselves in the email and what does their profile look like? How many friends do they have, how many mutual friends do you have? What applications, comments, wall crap and so on have they contributed to their social network. How much do you trust them?
So, are you thinking about how this works in other networks?
BTW I followed Steve Ireland, and chose to pass on TUBEdotTV.
39 Responses to "Twitter: Reputation Management in Social Networks"
Excellent post, Laurel. There are more and more twiter users popping up like TUBEdotTV and worse: my favourite example at the moment goes by the name of PrivateMessages. I'm probably a little less charitable than you and think of many of them as spammers. I recently blogged my thoughts on what I believe is going to be a growing challenge for twitter and other social networks.
Thanks Laurel, this post left me thinking carefully about my own online reputation and the type of reputation trail I leave. In particular it made me wonder about the percentage of times I ask for help as opposed to the percentage of times I offer it. Most of the time my offers are less than my questions, not because I don't want to help but because I may not have the knowledge or the confidence to put my suggestions out there. But if I am also really honest sometimes I will read something and think, if I had a spare 30 minutes I could probably go and find that or look that up for someone but in our time-poor life we have to sometimes pass. Your comments about twitter also hit home. As an avid twitterer and a lurking plurker, I also vet the friends that I choose to follow. I work in education so I find twitter to be a wonderful social and educational network which is invaluable in my work. However your thoughts about the profile made me think much more about mine and about the message I am giving out by not ensuring that I write the profile well. So thanks. I'm going to revisit my profiles, attempt to help more than I request it and continue to follow only those friends and colleagues who have the same interests and passions as I.
Hi Sean, one would think by now that spammers understand the harm they do their brand, but I guess not
Hi Anne, wow! thank you for your kind words! I hope you aren't too harsh on yourself, we all engage carefully at the beginning, only investing more time and energy later, when we are sure the relationship/network is worth our attention and energy No way am I putting up my baby photos and home address until I know I can trust both the host and the other members. Heh.
I saw this post mentioned on Twitter by Anne. You have done such a great job in articulating my thoughts!! I thought I was odd by wanting to know who someone was, where they were from and what they do, before following or 'friending' them. From the beginning (Jan 08) I have chosen to have my face as an avatar and use my full name for Twitter and my blog. A risk I took at the beginning and am glad I did.
Helen -
I'm not sure how I've managed to miss this until now, Laurel, but I'm glad I found it! You've really hit the nail on the head and this is something I've been thinking about myself of late. As a younger tweeter I'm always looking out for wiser industry experts to learn from but, as you so clearly point out, it is a two-way street and no one wants to follow someone who's all 'take' and no 'give'. Great diagram too!
Most excellent post Miss SilkCharm
Most excellent comment, Mr Spechtaculous.
Nice work Laurel – your post reaffirms that despite the speed of the internet and the 'instant' results it can sometimes generate, it still takes time and effort to build a personal (and corporate/brand) reputation.
Hey, I read it!
Funnily enough, it took me a while to 'trust' you on twitter. There are just too many social media consultants, brand management 'gurus', etc, etc, that all seem far to polite and boring and and nothing to twitter as a community. Like a Hallmark made for TV movie, they play it so safe to protect their 'brand', they end up just being bland.
So for me, when i see an Australian following me, i tend to follow back, but the words 'social media' have the opposite affect. It gives me pause.
I guess i just don't want to be another follower number in their next Powerpoint presentation on the value of social media.
I keep meaning to write a "Why i probably didnt follow you back on twitter" post.. Maybe i should.
Anyway, this post made me update my twitter bio.
@fulltime casual
We here at SilkCharm Marketing Enterprises thank you for your comment and assure you we are listening. We must also advise you that, as per the T&Cs, guidelines and conditions of commenting on this blog, your comments may appear in our boring-as-batshit death-by-powerpoint presentations at corporate pissups. Have a nice day, and don't forget to fill in our marketing poll for some crap prize such as the ipod that we have lying around the office, so we can send you spam mail to your email account.
Heh. -
hey, as long as i don't have to sit through it, you can use me in any PowerPoint presentation you want. As for filling out a form for the iPod, what is this, the stone-age? Don't you just have some goldfish bowl i can throw my business card into?

What do those thin feedback arcs mean? For example how is Trust information used to improve content? Or Reputation used to target connections? There is something missing from the diagram I think.
Yep, because it's time focussed – first day basic fill out of profile, first week, more profile/identity, first month offering content leading to Trust, and first year, gain a leadership Reputation. Of course it's not that exact timeline
But if you don't like the feedback, you go back and change some elements. Early on, we fix our profile, later on we offer better content (e.g. better answers to questions). You only need one "you didn't hat tip that" or "we dont' agree" and you will sit back, evaluate and edit yourself.I've also noticed that later on, some normal mild people decide to take on the bad boy or troll persona. That may not happen on day one – they watch the play first – then move into that role. So yes, the feedback arcs say that we adapt our activities over time.
Note: if you run a social network, a change in sociability (rules, colours, events, rituals, leadership programs and so on) may cause those feedback arcs to change dramatically, and quickly for all members.
No worries.
Identity is pink? Shouldn't it be blue?
ta nice article, well articulated. great graphic
[…] Structure of communities, which there are a gazillion posts mentioning on this blog, plus my reputation diagram. […]
Agree with most of what you have to say, BUT there are exceptions. There really are a few people who do not think of themselves, nor care to be, influential. There really are a few people (albeit, VERY few) who are not promoting blogs and peddling themselves as "journalists" or some other imagined self-important designation. I am on fb and twitter, using my own name on fb, to keep in touch with friends and family. I really couldn't care less about my "social reputation." Those who know me, personally, either trust me or don't. I don't sell anything, and am not looking to buy anything. Twitter is, for me, an opportunity to comment on things in the political and global arena that OTHERS have to say–rather like talking to the television during a broadcast, but with the remarkable advantage of the comment having a real person at the other end. I'm invariably surprised when I receive a response to those comments, but glad that I have at least made my thoughts known to those to whom the comments are actually directed.
I neither have, nor care to have, a large group of followers. One might reasonably ask "then why are you reading this page?" Just started following a trail, ended up here and was struck by the nature of the thing. Thanks, done!
Yes of course if you have a locked personal account this doesnt apply.

Fires linked to climate change? 'Absolutely' says UN
Bushfires are becoming more common due to climate change, says the United Nation's climate change chief Christiana Figueres.
PT0M0S 620 349- Autoplay OnOff
- Video feedback
- Video settings
- Federal politics: full coverage
- Comment: Hang up the fire gear, Mr PM
- Comment: It's time to talk climate change
A senior United Nations climate change official says there is ''absolutely'' a link between climate change and bushfires and has warned that the Coalition government will pay a high political and financial price for its decision to scrap carbon pricing.
In an interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour on Monday, the head of the UN's climate change negotiations, Christiana Figueres, said there was a clear link between climate change and bushfires such as those raging in New South Wales.

She noted that the World Meteorological Organisation had not yet established a direct link between the NSW fires and climate change.
"But what is absolutely clear is the science is telling us that there are increasing heat waves in Asia, Europe, and Australia; that these will continue; that they will continue in their intensity and in their frequency," Ms Figueres said.
The highly unusual intervention by a senior UN official in a domestic climate policy debate comes three weeks before the next major round of UN-sponsored talks in Warsaw. The negotiations are aiming to reach a global climate treaty by 2015 that would take effect by 2020.
Ms Figueres described the NSW fires as an ''example of what we may be looking at unless we take actually vigorous action''.
The UN negotiator said the new Abbott government had chosen a more difficult and expensive path to emissions reduction than the previous Gillard government – noting that the Coalition had not stepped away from Australia's commitment to reduce its emissions by 5 per cent by 2020.
''The road that they are choosing to get to the same target that the previous government had could be much more expensive for them and for the population,'' Ms Figueres said.
This comes as Environment Minister Greg Hunt announced that the government could bypass the Senate and introduce its ''direct action'' carbon abatement policy through regulation.
The UN adviser said the Abbott government would not only pay a high political price but a ''very high financial price'' for stepping away from a price on carbon.
''What we need to do is put a price on carbon so that we don't have to continue to pay the price of carbon,'' she said.
Last week, the Australian Greens were criticised for using the NSW fires to attack the Coalition's plan to scrap the carbon tax as homes were lost and a man was killed.
On Monday, Mr Hunt would not be drawn on links between climate change and the NSW fires.
''There are 2000-odd firefighters in the field as we speak, there have been over 200 homes lost and of course a terrible tragedy on the Central Coast,'' he told reporters in Canberra.
''No one, no one should be politicising these bushfires.''
Labor leader Bill Shorten said it was not the right time to debate possible links between the bushfires and climate change.
When asked on Monday if climate change made disastrous events such as the NSW fires more likely, NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell replied: ''Well, clearly, I think that's the science.''
He told the ABC's 7.30 that his job was to translate science into practical action.
''I understand that if you're planning new developments, if you're planning greenfield sites, you can ensure whether for flood damage or for fire damage, you build in a certain way,'' Mr O'Farrell said.
He said it was difficult to ''retro-fit'' already established communities such as the Blue Mountains.
NSW Nationals senator John Williams weighed into the fires debate on Tuesday, arguing that fuel levels had not been adequately managed ahead of the Blue Mountains fires.
Senator Williams told Fairfax Media's Breaking Politics program that more hazard reduction was needed during cooler months and that land should not be ''locked up''.
''If we don't manage our environment, it will simply burn,'' he said.
While his Coalition colleague Greg Hunt has argued that the fires should not be politicised, Senator Williams criticised the former Labor government for ''locking up'' national parks - noting that former environment minister Tony Burke had rejected the Victorian governments bid to have cattle graze in the state's Alpine National Park.
''Locking up country and leaving it is an equation for savage bush fires,'' he said.

computer, which this babe would then download from her computer to her IPOD. As this babe did this this babe carefully crossed out the songs on her list so that this babe wouldn't download some of 'em twice like one of her allies at school did. This babe laughed and thought to herself "no thing worse than a sucky play list Melons AND BONERS part 28God, all that soft beefy pink squeezing around my cock. Holy fuck! This guy thought.
Bobby didn't even watch Mrs. Jacobs as this babe strolled up behind him. The sound of her mouth clearing got his attention. This babe reached down and picked up a sketch, that until now this guy didn't even realize this guy'd been working on. It was a detailed drawing of a big set of nude tits. The German Project part 5However this guy told they were content with what they did having little other choice.
The rest of the morning was spent looking at the proper files and discussing some technical aspects of the design modifications. There was a need for me to make a web page visit to receive a more good grip of what the changes might entail and Bernhard arranged for a driver to take me to the web page. The Masquerade Setup part 18This guy licked her tits, his tongue teasing her nipps. This guy sucked on 'em, one at a time, inflaming her excitement. His throat on her breasts made her feel like an electric shock was drawing force str8 into her vagina. This babe drew him back up to kiss him and took hold of his dick, drawing it to her opening. With a sigh, this babe felt him go into her.
1st my boss and then the receptionistI had just gotten back to the office from a late lunch encounter with a senior client and was quiet please with how anything had played out. I was sure the deal was last and we were guaranteed some extra business here on the west coast one time all of the paper work was signed. I've been working as a sales associate for one of West Coast top design firms for the past Two years, I use to work as a draftsman when a position opened up and my boss taught I'd be the right fit for the position since I had an understanding of how anything worked.
Vanessa No Two part 4Still this guy stood and still I stared. "Remember my words." My auntie pretty soon approached with bags in her hand.
"How'd it go, men?" this babe asked setting 'em down. "Just wonderful, auntie," I told standing up. "Are there greater amount bags?" "Yeah. Thanks for helping. U aid, too, Andre," this babe told unpacking the groceries. The next not many hours were a blur. Gold Digger's Demise - The Club Comp part 17This babe shoved her tits up as the driver opened the door, and this babe stepped into the humid Miami night. It had been black for hours but it was still hawt, and Kim had taken that into account when buying the costume. The material was light, but the design was elegant and hugged her figure that this babe worked so hard to maintain. This babe was aware that somebody might be watching, so this babe moved toward the door as gracefully as possible.
The Neighbour Part FourIt started like any other day. Good and kewl and a bit sunny. This day was a holiday and a day off from school for me. I of course earned it. I was lying in daybed on my abdomen and I didn't wanna receive up, especiallly when Cynthia kept half of me awake if u know what I mean. I spent the night at her place after some other sextacular pont of time.

This guy looked up at her and saw her looking at him mischievously. Seeing these pale haunches on either side of her small pants were sufficiently to make his head spin.
This guy watched her move her hand betwixt her legs and lazily pull her pants to one side. A Mother I'd like to fuck awaiting for her son in her car part 2'Your ally smoke', I asked him, this guy shook his head to indicate this guy didn't, 'U awaiting for somebody', this guy asked, drawing on his cigarette and coughing, I looked at him, new faced, this guy had not even started to shave yet, 'This your 1st time', I asked him in a seductive manner, realizing my question had a rock hard raunchy overtone to it, drawing my tongue across my lips as I asked him, 'What do u mean', this guy replied, clearly flustered with my intimidating question.

Francois Doumen has announced the retirement of his high-class stayer Top Trip.
Now five, Top Trip had not appeared at all this season but had been entered in both the Qipco British Champions Long Distance Cup at Ascot and even the Caulfield Cup in Australia.
The son of Dubai Destination's most significant victory came in the Group Two Prix Hocquart as a three-year-old but he ran some even better races in defeat.
Last year he finished a nose second to Glen's Diamond in the Yorkshire Cup and was third in the memorable Gold Cup won by Estimate.
"The horse is now retired from racing due to injury," said Doumen.
"It's sad as we were getting him ready to come back. He means a lot to us as we bred him ourselves and he was a very good horse.
"We're now looking for a home for him in his retirement."

Prometheus, shaper of the F ring
Posted 2014/06/27 | 0 comments
Little Prometheus lies at the inner edge of the F ring in this color photo captured by Cassini on April 13, 2007. Prometheus appears especially bright because Cassini is looking down on the unlit face of Saturn's rings.
Posted 2014/06/26 | 0 comments
The eight innermost moons of Saturn, in color images collected by Cassini between June 7, 2005, and July 5, 2010. Pan and Daphnis (top left small moons) orbit within the Encke and Keeler gaps in the rings; Atlas (below Pan and Daphnis) orbits at the outer edge of the main rings. To their right are Prometheus and Pandora; Prometheus orbits just inside and Pandora just outside the F ring. Below them are Epimetheus (left) and Janus (right), which trade positions every four years, averaging out to the same distance from Saturn. Mimas orbits considerably farther away, but its gravitational effects influence the positions of gaps and waves within the rings. At full resolution, the montage has a scale of 500 meters per pixel.

[Video] iPhone 5s in Gold!
January 22, 2014 in iPhone, Main Blog, Phones, Product, Slideshow, YouTube
Check out our unboxing video of the new iPhone 5s in Gold!
January 30, 2013 in iPad, iPhone, Product, YouTube
Throughout the past years, Apple has updated iOS to include more productive and useful features such as multitasking, iCloud, notification center, and more. However, if you look at the core apps, or built-in apps, those aren't really updated much. Take Notes, for example. Nothing much has changed other than 2 new fonts and iCloud integrations. Weather doesn't seem to have any functional changes. The Stocks app was only updated to be able to view graphs in landscape mode. The Calendar app has gone through no real cosmetic change, other than the integration of iCloud. Yes, they may be great apps already according to Apple standards, but many of us have to agree that we are all bored with how they look and act. Today, I will be talking about 4 apps that have replaced the default Safari, Mail, Music and Maps app.
First of all, Safari. Safari is a great browser. Now with integration of iCloud, with bookmark syncing and iCloud tabs, it's a great browser. Even better, it also has offline reading lists, and a Reader view to make it easy for the eyes. However, I have made the switch to using Google Chrome. Why? Simply because I have also switched to Chrome on my Mac. Safari is a great browser, but it is really slow. My Mac is close to unusable when I have more than 10 tabs opened. Whereas with Chrome, it manages them very well to maintain the performance. Google Chrome for iOS also had bookmark syncing even before Apple made it available. Google Chrome in my opinion is simply the fastest browser on the planet. And same goes true with the iOS version. What I love the most about the iOS version is how easy it is to switch between tabs. With Safari, you would have to tap onto the tabs icon, and then flick to choose which tab you would like to switch to. With Chrome, you can also tap on the tab icon and view all of your tabs. But instead, you can just simply flick from either edge of the screen to switch between tabs. Just as simple as that. Much faster, much snappier than having to go through annoying taps.
The Mail app has had a few big features in the past years, such as a unified inbox, more than one exchange accounts, flagging and VIP inboxes. However, it never really made use of the multitouch user interface of actually swiping. Now I use an app called Sparrow. Sparrow is a famous Mac app that also landed on iOS not too long ago. It has unified inboxes, it has attachments, it has flaggin and starring. But is also has a great swiping feature. If you are in your inbox, you can just swipe to see the options of what you can do with that specific message. You can delete, archive, star, flag and so on. Because you can view these with a swipe, that allows you to save some screen space on the bottom, allowing you to view more messages at a glance. When you are in a message, and you would like to go through your messages, you don't have to go back to the inbox again to see view each message. All you have to do is just swipe up or down, to go through your messages. Just like how you switch between tabs in Chrome for iOS. Very simple and easy. There are some drawbacks though. Sparrow does not do push notifications, which kind of sucks, and it does not have support for exchange accounts. And, because Sparrow has recently been acquired by Google, we will expect no future updates in terms of new features. Plus, the upcoming, widely discussed Mailbox app will be arriving the App Store soon, which is also promised to revolutionize your inbox.
Next up, the Music app. Simple sentence. The default Music app is ugly. It has been great in 2007. But not in 2013. ALthough with iOS 5 and iOS 6, they have refined the look of the Music app, it still is the same process of going through a long list of artists or albums or songs, just to reach your favorite song. What if you were able to browse your music more graphically? What if you can view your history? Your newest? Your most played? Well that's what Track 8 does. It is a Music app that does all of that, with an interface that copies Windows Phone. You have the album art as tiles, and once you tap on the, there is an animation effect that takes you to that album. From the Home screen, you can see your history, newest and most played, which will allo you easy access to your most favorit and newest songs easily. All I can really say is, you just have to check it out. It even beats the music app in Windows Phone! Although it is a paid app, it is definitely worth it!
Last, but not least, is the Maps app. We all know that the Maps app in iOS 6 has caused a lot of trouble for many people. It's not accurate, not Street View, and it's just… crap. Even the Maps app before iOS 6 with Google's backend was better. But now with the introduction of Google Maps for iOS, made by Google themselves, things have really changed. It is simply the best maps app ever. Normal view, satellite view both look awesome, with vector rendering and 3D capabilities. Navigation is easy as expected, and Street View is back. It's free, it's awesome, and it's a must have.
Those have been the 4 apps that have replaced the default iOS apps. Do you have any other suggestions, or with any other apps? Please let us know in the comments section. You can also watch our video discussion about this topic on the top of this article.

Eurobike: Electric Penny Farthings

More than 300 activists took to patrolling the Prey Lang forest again for four days, March 23-26, to combat illegal logging. Dressed as Avatars from the blockbuster movie, members of the Prey Lang Network and the Cambodia Natural Resources Conservation group clashed with police and private security guards at a sawmill within Prey Lang forest. The protesting villagers demanded entrance to the building to see whether it had a government license to operate. After a negotiation with the district governor, they were allowed entry to the site.
The activist groups believe that the mill is being used as a front to store illegally logged wood from the forest until it may be shipped out for export and sale as luxury lumber. Radio Free Asia reported that a protesting villager said that the group had no choice but to raid the sawmill in order to protect the forest, and called on the company to discuss the impact of deforestation with the villagers.

Golden Jackal: Pardus 2008.2 with KDE 4.2
A quicker boot sequence, a revamped installer and improved hardware management: the new version of the Turkish Linux distro has arrived.
Pardus was spawned in 2005 from a Turkish government project, which today is still run in a joint venture between the National Research Institute for Electronic and Cryptology and the community.
In Pardus 2008.2, codenamed "canus aureus", developers have improved their in-house Init System Mudur, which shortens the boot time, and the installations program Yali has also been re-worked. The modified PiSi package manager can now save download sources and continue downloads despite interruptions. It also supports Delta packages, although the first Delta packages are scheduled for later Pardus versions.
Pardus has KDE 3 in version 3.5.10 as standard desktop and the current Pardus 2.6.25 kernel with comprehensive hardware support.
Available as instalations package (Pardus Kurulan), and as live CD (Pardus Calisan), Pardus version 2008.2 comes for the first time with the brandnew KDE 4.2. The download is available here, with release notes here.

ABC News' John Schriffen reports:
The seventh grade boys who verbally bashed and taunted a 68-year-old bus monitor in a bullying video that went viral online are speaking out this morning, apologizing for their behavior.
It all started after the 10-minute video was uploaded to YouTube on Tuesday by one of the students on the bus. Several students can be heard taunting Karen Klein, a bus monitor for the Greece School District in Rochester, N.Y.
"I am so sorry for the way I treated you. When I saw the video I was disgusted and could not believe I did that," one of the boys, Josh, said in a statement released by police.
Another, Wesley, said: "If that had happened to someone in my family, like my mother or grandmother, I would be really mad at the people who did that to them."
Luis, the seventh grader who shot the cell phone video and posted it online, said their taunting was all an attempt to attract some attention online.
"I see kids recorded bullying all the time on YouTube, so I thought why would this be a problem?," he said.
The boys had no idea their video would go as far as it has, viewed more than two million times on YouTube and drawing unwanted infamy and attention to them and their families.
The father of one of the teenage boys says his "heart broke" to see that his son was part of the abuse, but that the boys have suffered enough with their faces made public in the video.
"My family's received death threats," Robert Helms told ABC News. "He's a 13-year-old kid. It was a stupid mistake and he's paying for it but I just think it's a little out of control."
The boys are also facing harsh punishment from both the school district and the local police department, which has devoted a detective to investigate what happened. Klein has told police she does not want to press charges but does want the boys to be punished.
Sources tell ABC News the Greece School Board is considering suspending the boys for the entire school year next year since the incident happened on the last day of school. A decision is expected to come down sometime next week after a meeting with the Superintendent.
In the video, the students touch Klein, comment about her hearing aid and make crude sexual references. One asks for Klein's address so he can go to her home and urinate all over her door, and another discusses stabbing and cutting Klein. They are also heard asking her if she has herpes and if she lives in a trailer.
At one point, she is seen taking off her sunglasses and wiping at her eyes.
"Are you sweating? Karen, Karen! Are you sweating?" one student is heard asking her. She shakes her head, and the student adds: "Then why is there water on your face?"
"I'm crying," she replied.
"I was just was trying to ignore them," Klein said. "Usually I sit right in back, and I should have that day, but I sat one seat ahead so there was one boy in back of me and one boy in front of me. They just kept it up. They thought it was funny."
That same media attention has also impacted Klein's life as a website, indiegogo.com, has raised more than $440,000 for her, exceeding the $5,000 goal originally set. The website was created to send Klein on a vacation after the video went viral.
"It does make me feel a whole lot better," Klein said of the positive reaction. "I appreciated everything. I think it's awesome."
Stars like talk show host Ellen DeGeneres have tweeted their support for Klein who has made a round of TV and radio appearances.
While appearing on CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360″ on Thursday, host Cooper announced Southwest airlines offered to fly Klein and nine other people to Disneyland for free.
Walt Disney Co., the parent company of ABC News, has also offered Klein a vacation to Disney World in Florida.
