Choosing an Escort: What to Look For
Posted by admin in
Comments Off
What should you look for in an escort? This is not an answer that is the same for all individuals. A number of different qualities should be looked at to determine what escort is best suited for your needs. If you want to ensure a pleasant experience for you both, taking the time to choose the right escort is a must. It takes only a little bit of extra effort on your part to find an escort that you are compatible with. Visit http://www.crownescorts.com.au/melbourne-escorts for more info.
First, do you prefer a lady with a certain type of size? For example, some men like skinny girls, while other men prefer those with more curves. Do you have a preference for large breasts or a large backside? These are all things to look for in your escort. When you are attracted to the young lady it is far easier to relax, unwind and take advantage of the evening. The same rule applies for the ethnic background of the lady selected, hair color, eye color, etc.
Next take into consideration what your plans are with the escort. Some are willing to go a little further than others. In addition there are special escorts who are able to help fulfil fantasies and fetishes, if thesis something that you are interested in.
The amount of money that you have to spend on the escort is yet another consideration that must be kept in mind when it is time to make your selection. The cost of an escort is not the same for any two women, and many factors affect the cost that your lady will charge you. Most escorts charge by the hour, so keep this in mind. You're free to spend as little or as long as you would like with her, so long as you are willing to pay. But before you decide the escort that you want, the money that you have to spend must be taken into consideration.
Choosing an escort is not hard, as you can see with the information above. However, it's something that takes careful thought and consideration, at least if you want to experience the best that the escort can bring out in you. Do not be afraid to say what you really want and seek to find that special lady. It is your time, your money, after all, so why should you not get just what it is that you seek in a lady?Both comments and pings are currently closed.

Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Active Light Under-Eye Concealer is a thick liquid concealer dispensed from a click-pen applicator and applied with the built-in synthetic brush. The smooth texture blends readily and provides nearly full coverage with a slightly flat, opaque finish. Creasing is minimal and the formula contains several skin-friendly ingredients—though it includes too many waxes for use over breakouts. The major problem is with the colors, half of which look nothing like skin and, when used over dark circles, essentially trade one discoloration problem for another. Avoid shades 4, 5, and 6, all of which are too pink or peach. Shades 1, 2, and 3 are yellow-toned options, but only for very fair to light skin to tones.
The Jane Iredale line primarily features its mineral makeup, along with several other cosmetics. The skin-care selection from Jane Iredale is limited to a few ancillary products, although a couple of them are definite options if you're a fan of this line.
For more information about Jane Iredale, call (800) 869-9420 or visit the Web site at www.janeiredale.com.
Iredale's color line is advertised as "The Skin Care Makeup," but it isn't skin-care-like at all, at least not in the way you may imagine. Ingredients like boron nitride, mica, and zinc stearate (also known as zinc soap) have no benefit for skin, and they are the primary ingredients of Iredale's loose powders. A few of the products do include mineral-based, gentle sunscreens and a smattering of antioxidants (though the packaging will render them unstable after opening). The ingredient lists are also relatively short, which is beneficial for those with sensitivities, but that's about as skin-caring as this line gets.
You do need to be wary of some of Iredale's questionable claims, such as "Because our bases are concentrated pigment, the coverage we can achieve is far superior to normal makeup with a minimum amount of product. This is why mineral makeup should always look sheer and natural." These powders can be applied sheer, but the very nature of these ingredients results in products that are heavy-textured and that, like it or not, can look powdery and "made-up" on the skin. This is especially true if you have any dry patches, because these mineral powders, which also claim to "trap moisture," will exacerbate any dryness and can look caked and change color over very oily areas. Actually they do trap moisture, but they trap it away from the skin. That's the nature of any powdered mineral - they are absorbent and as a result can be drying.
Iredale denigrates talc, dismissing it as cheap filler material and an irritant, but talc is the essential backbone for a number of the most luxurious-feeling powders you will find, some of which have a softness and virtually seamless finish on the skin that other lines (including Iredale's) should envy. And talc is not irritating, at least not any more than the mica Iredale chose to use in its place. Even more significant, talc is a natural ingredient and a mineral. Despite this, all of Iredale's claims revolving around how mineral makeups are better for skin are marketing hype to the max. The most important element of her mineral makeup is the overall gentle, fragrance-free formula that provides outstanding sun protection.
If the concept of a powdered makeup different from the traditional talc-based powders you've seen at the cosmetics counters or drugstores appeals to you, then this line presents some fine choices. We would recommend using caution when you read (or are told) about the inflated benefits of some rather ordinary but nevertheless effective ingredients. However, with a few exceptions, there is certainly nothing in these straightforward formulations that's harmful or irritating, and that's always beneficial.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Our save the dates came out wonderful and earlier than expected. The quality of service is above some other websites who I ordered samples from."
"I am very pleased with the Save The Date Cards ordered for my daughter's wedding. The quality of the paper and coloring of the photo were impressive. We enhanced the photo with the "Sunshine" feature and since the photo was in an outdoors setting it added a nice glow to the finish product. Thank you"
"I requested a complete change to this design. I removed the boarder and the stripes on the back, so I pretty much started with a blank card. I had a photo on each side. The designer did an AMAZING job. I suggested some things, and she had even better ideas. I'm very happy with the design. One thing that I wish I could have seen before ordering is the texture of the 2 options for paper type. I understand this can be difficult to appreciate from a computer screen. But, they could post a link to a YouTube video showing the difference between the paper. The one I chose (I forget the name, but it was the NON-pearlized one) ended up having a 'bumpy' surface. I wish it was completely smooth, since it makes my photo look strange in some places. But, I didn't go with the pearlized paper b/c I didn't want it to be too shiny/sparkly. Seeing it on video would have helped me make a better decision possibly."
"I used navy to personalize my save the dates and match my wedding colors. I added another line of text underneath, and it turned out perfectly. I used rounded edges which look great. I like how this card emphasized the picture of my fiance and I and the words "save the date". This card made it simple and straightforward which is what I wanted."
"Added a lot of personalized touches and received excellent customer service. All questions were answered within hours of emailing. I will definitely be using them again!!"

#4 Invisible Giant of the New SEO http://shar.es/10Jiw0
Parallax design sites are growing in use because they embrace the fluidity of the Web, provide simplicity, and offer a scrolling technique that creates a neat 3-D effect.
You should be aware of some concerns when deciding whether to use a parallax design. Concerns include the following.
Load times
Parallax design is highly animated with a lot of scripts, so it can decrease the load time of a website.
Browser support
Not all browsers are able to support the parallax design. That inability can lead to problems for the user.
Not mobile-friendly
Parallax scrolling is also not ideal for mobile as it makes the website bloated. Parallax adds layers of code to a website.
Deficient for analytics
If all your content is on one page, understanding what content is capturing visitors can be difficult. There can be workarounds to this obstacle, such as using event tracking or tying a pageview in Google Analytics to sections of parallax scrolling, but parallax design does add a layer of complexity to analytics.
SEO and new design techniques often don't mesh. In addition to being deficient on the analytics side, many parallax websites are not built with SEO in mind. Content often takes a backseat to the visual, and parallax pages typically aren't geared towards specific topics and targeted websites. External websites may only have one page to link without linking to specific subpage with more relevant content.
Via iNeoMarketing, Brian Yanish - MarketingHits.com, b2bmarketingpartners
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:
I used this phrase in a meeting last year and got laughed at. Parallax is mobile friendly so a trending design ethos.
Don Hileman's curator insight, October 19, 11:08 PM
Parallax websites look amazing, but are they effective for SEO?
Well that depends. There are several things such as Page Title, Page Description, and Content that plays a major role in SEO. Parallax designs can still include great content which is one of the most important things when it comes to SEO.
Wouldn't it be great if you could just call up a supercomputer and ask it to do your data-wrangling for you? Actually, scratch that, no-one uses the phone anymore. What'd be really cool is if machines could respond to your queries straight from Twitter. It's a belief that's shared by Wolfram Research, which has just launched the Tweet a Program system to its computational knowledge engine, Wolfram Alpha. In a blog post, founder Stephen Wolfram explains that even complex queries can be executed within the space of 140 characters, including data visualizations.
In the Wolfram Language a little code can go a long way. And to use that fact to let everyone have some fun with the introduction of Tweet-a-Program. Compose a tweet-length Wolfram Language program, and tweet it to @WolframTaP. TheTwitter bot will run your program in the Wolfram Cloud and tweet the result back to you. One can do a lot with Wolfram Language programs that fit in a tweet. It's easy to make interesting patterns or even complicated fractals. Putting in some math makes it easy to get all sorts of elaborate structures and patterns.
The Wolfram Language not only knows how to compute π, as well as a zillion other algorithms; it also has a huge amount of built-in knowledge about the real world. So right in the language, you can talk about movies or countries or chemicals or whatever. And here's a 78-character program that makes a collage of the flags of Europe, sized according to country population. There are many, many kinds of real-world knowledge built into the Wolfram Language, including some pretty obscure ones. The Wolfram Language does really well with words and text and deals with images too.

Great Tweet by Brian Franzo (@iSocialFanz) of a report that uses Wiki-Pedia edits to ask an interesting question - are data deserts forming? I would love to have one more data set to confirm the fast wite middle before assigning the word "data desert" if only because wikipedia editing, the data was sourced from number of edits on wikipedia, may be an acquired taste.

"Members only" - "limited offer" - "guaranteed" - "discover" - "check out"... If you wonder what these terms have in common, here is the answer. Brands consider them to be top performers. They are words that convert.

The power of text analytics is now readily accessible through intuitive and openly available software. Running analysis is straightforward enough, as the examples in this article illustrate. However, the prerequisites of impactful insights haven't changed. Proper problem definition, domain expertise, and stakeholder engagement are key to well-guided mining and actionable output—whether you're improving a user interface or the broader user experience.

Klout, Context & Links
This post links to my G+ summary in prelude to my http://www.curatti.com blog post tonight. Here are some preliminary thoughts on the page of notes I took during Dixon Jones talk.
Links & The Real Value of Content
Dixon works at Majestic SEO (http://www.majesticseo.com/ ). Majestic is asking the right question - what is the value of a link. They've even created tools that help intelligently answer that question.
"Inbound links" as a measurement is clouded by "bot spam". In a great example of the power of the "flow" tool Dixon shared. Even more powerful was an example of Majestic SEO vs. two competitors. On a purely inbound link review Majestic doesn't win.
But are all of those links valuable? Value is contextual and any spammy ways of inflating inbound link numbers need to be discovered and factored out.
Once links are run through Majestic SEO's "trust flow" tool evaluating where links came from and the respective trustworthiness of sites sending links in Majestic wins the comparison.We finally have a tool to separate white and black hats.
Think of that for a second. If you were to simply use aggregate inbound links you would buy ads with Majestic's competition or, and this is worse, you might think the competition's inflated (probalby by spam) value is something you should buy.
Once the Majestic SEO tool separates wheat from chafe a more accurate and "influential" picture emerges. SEOs and Internet marketers know how to parse page spread, social following and inbound links to pierce the veil of most who spam, but, for an outsider, "most links" may translate into "most trusted".
There is the web's biggest rub. Since the web is an interconnected system discovering if real people who have real value are passionate about a site tool, or brand with metrics such as high inbound links or big pagespread (pages in Google) is the only way to make an informed decision UNTIL Majestic wrestled context and content to the ground.
Curagmai & Majestic
The reason our Startup Factory funded startup Curagami and Majestic fit together like Lego blocks is relationships between a site and its 1% Contributors, 9% Supporters and 90% readers. Curagami helps FIND the Contributors, Supporters and Readers and Majestic helps define each of member of those "tribes" by their CONTEXTUAL influence. I may not have high Klout and be irrelevant for a conversation about women's fashion, but be perfect to help discuss cycling (since I rode a bicycle across America in the summer of 2010). .
If the first job is to FIND Contributors, Supporters and Readers and the second is to ask them to JOIN with Contributors and Supporters high on the Ambassadors list then the 3rd job is to contextually empower advocates in each group. We know the future is about community and real people not bots are the building blocks of online community.
What Dixon shared today and Majestic SEO has been working hard on is helping marketers know what kind of ASK will work best for Jill, John and Bob. Jill might know women's fashion, pets and be a car mechanic in her spare time. John may know email marketing, gourmet cooking and wines. Bob may know finance and cycling.
Curagami helps find 'em & Majestic helps define 'em in order to create an ASK that works. Powerful and very cool tool since the future is about building community and not every Contributor, Supporter and Reader who visits your site is the same. As we begin to create "rich personas" thanks to tools such as Majestic and Curagami our content relevance will go up, and up and UP.
If you are thinking more content relevance = more LOVE and MONEY we agree :). M

5 Cs of Great Web Analytics
* Combine.
* Comb.
* Copy.
* Crumble.
* Collaborate.
Web metrics never act alone so don't review them that way. Look at Traffic & Shares, Traffic & Money or Time On & Bounce. By combining metrics you see interrelationships better.
Inside of your metrics are secret fractals or patterns so meaningful they almost bite you. When I was a Director of Ecommerce we found the 80/20 rule existed in all data sets across all segments and no matter how small we cut the sample. This means a small % of any metric makes up the majority of the benefit and its your job to find those hidden fractals.
If a competitor has a great new metric copy it, steal it and improve on it. Share your improvements back out to the world so they too can be improve upon. No such thing as SECRETS anymore.
Your website is in a constant ebb and flow. We like to say we build sand castles on the beach and the tide is always coming in. This means you can't get too connected to or in love with anything and that includes numbers and processes. You must exist in a constant state of creative destruction to win online so crumble any cherished notions and beloved processes in order to see what is happening NOW.
The more you share, collaborate and give the more you win online. Your CFO is going to complain about ROI and you should smile, nod and assure him or her you will work on it. The way you work on improving web marketing ROI is TO DO WEB MARKETING. Sounds circular and CATCH-22-like you say? Good you are beginning to get it :). M
Bad links can kill your website's hard-won authority, reputation & traffic. Use Google's disavow tool to protect your site's traffic from SEO bandits.
This post shares two harrowing tales of "spam link attacks". One I experienced and, with my great team, fought our way out of one October several years ago. The other SproutContent.com share happened recently (so still an issue). Learn how to protect your hard-won digital assets from spam link attacks.
Gamify Content Marketing Blows Up
Yesterday I mentioned Gamify along with two other trending Haiku Decks. Gamify gained 1,010 views (+40% gain) in a day. A move that big usually means someone BIG shared. We will look around and figure out who to thank, and hope you will check out and share Gamify Content Marketing too.

What factors go into determining how many Twitter followers you gain (and lose) each day? I analyzed thousands of accounts to find the answer.
Key takeaways
The types of content you tweet have significant impacts on attracting and keeping followers.Hashtags probably aren't dead.Each tweet that includes an image, has a hashtag, is a retweet, or mentions someone associates with 2-6% more daily followers.
Just as it does with Rand, your account will likely have individualized factors that move the needle for you.You can explore these via Excel! Check your Followerwonk account for a complimentary spreadsheet of your Twitter activity.Don't forget to follow me @petebray so that I can test whether this blog post significantly moves my follower count! :) And let me know what you uncover.

Time Management
Time is a TACTIC many Internet marketers forget or don't fully utilize. Here are 5 ways we've learned to tell time:
Time Tip #1: What's Happening NOW?
The web is becoming more and more obsessed with what is happening now. Why? Not sure and who cares (lol). The closer to "real time" your content the more authentic and real it becomes. We use this in our favor in three ways:
* Note and share when content is scaling fast.
* Records are important even when they are YOUR records. Fastest, biggest, most are valuable words in Internet marketing. They are also TIME based. Use fast, faster, fastest to help your content scale.
* Now slips away, but using time parameters provides benchmarkes and scale. Earlier I Tweeted about a Haiku Deck that reached 225 views the fastest and then included (12 hrs).
Time Tip #2: Use History
The web's time is always NOW, but you can create interesting juxtapositions with the past. When your following reachers the NY Times 1950 subscription level NOTE IT. When you compare a modern web EVENT to a past "real world" event you gain gravitas and understanding. BTW, good luck finding NYT circulation in 1950.
Time Tip #3: Process Is Product
Easy to forget that whatever you are doing NOW is, when published and shared, a product. This is why I like multiple publishing platforms (blogs, Scoop.it, G+ are my most frequently used platforms). Sharing your process as close to CREATION as possible brings the NOW into your content (see tip #1).
Time Tip #4: Redux Is Truth
We lucky few Internet marketers are like scientists. We test, test and test content, ideas and memes. When you find something that pops DOUBLE DOWN and keep doubling down (publishing a post about the post, publishing a II or III version) until you exhaust upside. Once you reach the point of diminishing return make a note and move on. First time ANYTHING can be a fluke. If you can repeat the same or better results over and over you've found EVERGREEN content you need to OWN.
Time Tip #5: Don't Forget TIME Is In The Web's Algorithm
Everyday millions of things happen online (maybe billions). With that much NEW going on TIME becomes a way to TRUST you (or not). every day you build or lose clout, reputation and status (authority). Crying over yesterday's losses is foolish and expensive. Gear up, learn and move on. Always remember you can't do anything TODAY the web won't remember TOMORROW.
Dove Men+Care's digital campaign for Father's Day riffs off the idea that dads are sick of their Ward Cleaver image and want credit for changing diapers, making dinner and consoling heartbroken teens. But this creative isn't all touchy-feely—it's based on some hard data.
Marty Note
I'm tired of the MAN as IDIOT trend. 2014 seems to be a redemption year. Men and dads are leading the charge. For a long time the cardboard "stupid man" populated commercials, movies and TV for far too long.
I get it. The pendulum swings hither and yon, to and fro. Perhaps one of the web's conversational benefits is brands see customers as people instead of "consumers" or "users".
We are neither simply consumers or users.We are people caught in a divine comedy. MEN aren't cardboard stereotypes meant to supply a cheap punchline or a cliche or two. We men are hard working, confused and learning as we go much like our beautiful sisters.
If the web can eliminate nasty yet ubiquitous cardboard stereotypes every man on the planet will be in the web's debt. What great "men are for real" campaigns have you seen this year?
New SEO's invisible Giant uses magician tricks such as Google's floating filter bubbles, social media's disappearing act & friends you never knew you had.
Wow, what a day for Invisible Giants. After my Haiku Deck account went down taking the fastest "views" deck we've ever created into the void we received a dramatic lesson in almost every "Invisible Giant" idea discussed.
TIME and the growing importance of "near real time" response was absent. Not anymore (lol). Wrote up what happened today as an example of "Invisible Giant" values and just how our online marketing world is turns on a different axis now.
When it comes to forums and gamification we prefer to keep things simple. Allowing users to give out reps to other users for adding valuable content is the best example of forum gamification because we want to reward ...

Nico Rosberg is "very confident" that he'll get back on a level footing with Lewis Hamilton as the Brit has jumped in their personal battle.
Rosberg emerged as the stronger of the two Mercedes drivers at the start of this season, taking two race wins in the first eight grands prix. Added to that he also had three pole positions to Hamilton's two.
However, in the races since Hamilton has gone on a charge.
The Britisih driver had secured three pole positions to go with his earlier two and also claimed his first victory for Mercedes in Hungary. And although he didn't win the other two races, he did win the intra-team battle, beating Rosberg out on track.
Rosberg is refusing to let it get to him, saying that while he acknowledges Hamilton as a strong driver, he himself is going through a trying phase.
"For one, Lewis has been doing a really, really good job and he's on it," said the German. "But that was clear from the beginning he was going to be a tough competitor, so he's just done really, really well.
"From my side, just a bit of a phase where not everything is going 100 percent right.
"I go through these phases as a driver and come on out the other side then they'll be a phase where everything does go right like at the beginning of the year in qualifying.
"Even though the racing didn't go well back then for our struggles that we used to have in the races, qualifying was going right."
The 28-year-old added that he believes the tables will yet again turn.
"I'm very confident that the phase will come again," he told Sky Sports.

WASHINGTON - For many, Thanksgiving Day will bring a day off, a big meal, time with family and some football on TV.
But it's no day to kick back for Washington Nationals infielder Steve Lombardozzi Jr. and his dad.
The Nats star and his father, Steve Lombardozzi Sr., a former MLB athlete and the current baseball coach at Our Lady of Good Counsel High School in Olney, Md., have led a weeklong drive to collect supplies for superstorm Sandy victims in New York and New Jersey.
"Me and my dad are blown away with how much stuff has come in," marvels Steve Jr. as students, mostly members of the Good Counsel baseball team, loaded donations on a tractor-trailer truck at the school for transport to the storm recovery zone.
"Canned goods, water, blankets, sleeping bags, personal care items, household items," says Steve Jr. as he surveyed the collection of boxed goods stacked on the sidewalk along an entire block.
The father-son duo plan to personally deliver the items over the next few days.
"This is going to be the fun part," Steve Sr. says. "...Steve and I are just going to go out anywhere and everywhere."
The Washington Nationals supported the effort and enlisted the help of the team's official mover JK Moving Services, which brought in a bigger truck - at the last minute - to accommodate the abundance of emergency supplies.
Steve Sr., a former second baseman for the 1987 World Series champion Minnesota Twins, was recently hired as Good Counsel's baseball coach and will begin his first season in the spring. The students can't believe their luck to be led by a former big player.
"It's really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I'm so excited for the season, just talking to him," says Casey Beulik, of Ashton, Va., a shortstop for the Good Counsel Falcons.
"I'm really mind-blown right now knowing what he's done," exclaims Quoc Tran, of Germantown, a senior outfielder. "He's giving us a professional baseball mindset."
The high school baseball players and their parents were instrumental in collecting and sorting the donations for those still struggling to recover from superstorm Sandy.
"A lot of families were affected, and it's hard to know that it could have happened to us, so it's good to give back and to help out," says Tran.
Collecting emergency supplies has been a bonding experience for members of Good Counsel's baseball team and an opportunity for the varsity players to meet the freshmen.
"It's been a blast really getting to know a lot of these guys, and spending time with them is really what it's all about," Beulik says.
The Lombardozzis are eager to get the aid into the hands of those who need it, even it means sacrificing a quiet Thanksgiving Day.
"I'm looking forward to getting up there and being able to go around and meet some of these families," Steve Jr. says.
His dad looked proudly at his son and his new players at Good Counsel as they loaded the truck.
"It's most likely going to be the most fulfilling, rewarding Thanksgiving we've had as a family," he says.

Wow, what a start you've had!
Hi my valley, I just checked out your first blog entry, your goodbyes and departure! What a popular and loved girl you are.. and now you're in Nepal hiking for days! How incredible and adventurous! So I just clicked on your cool interactive map, that red line goes on forever..that's crazy how far you've traveled. I'm so excited for you valley! Hope you continue to enjoy your awesome trip, looking forward to your next update! Xo
Miss you. April
Week (or 2 or 3) of Goodbyes
Loading Map
Then it was back to Davis I went. Packing and repacking trying to make everything fit... I think i finally got it! To relax I went to Tahoe with my mom and Cokie (the dog)- got to see the first snow of the season on Saturday morning (although it was pretty much all melted by Friday afternoon). Saturday night had dinner with Sam and Laura (finally got to see Laura's
wedding pictures) and learned all about the hardware store... Sunday went to Grandmas house and worked on the wine cabinet (yes, it's almost done- don't even ask me about the negative schedule margin on that project)!
That brings me to today Monday, October 1, 2007. I'm off to SMF for a 7:40pm flight to LAX, from LAX I go to Hong Kong, Hong Kong to Bangkok, Bangkok to Kathmandu. and arrive (if everything is on time) in Kathmandu October 3 at 8:30pm. I just love airplanes. :-) I look forward to hearing from you all. I'll miss you!
Post your own travel photos for friends and family More Pictures
Wow, what a start you've had!
Wow again!!
OK! So I'm just learning how to make my way through my first ever blog site and came across all your entries! Holy cow all you've experienced already! Your tremendous flight over there and all those pictures, those places are incredible! I could spend hours on this reading. I'll have to come back to it since I'm at work..but I'm so happy for you you're getting to see such amazingly beautiful things. You're awesome val, I'm sure we all agree! I see you're having nice desserts along the way too! That's my girl...
Ok, talk to you soon! Love April xo

text: 1 Poor rehash of old materialDuke75 | 22/11/2012 | See all Duke75's reviews (2)Based on the design of the cover, you could be forgiven for thinking that this is a new Peter Kay standup DVD. But wait! This DVD is simply cashing on on last year's live DVD. It is basically clips of Peter behind the scenes of the tour, interspersed with clips of Peter on-stage. The clips are so poorly edited that there is no flow to the DVD and it is devoid of laughs. Unfortunately, all this DVD achieves is to spoil Peter Kay's reputation. I would highly recommend that people steer clear of this one.


text: 5 That's Half Past Midnight to you and me!SECTION8 | 10/03/2013 | See all SECTION8's reviews (1336)Top 10 Reviewer Top 10 DVD Reviewer The secret of a great film is although we know how it ends it keeps us on the edge of our seats. As we know this is as close to facts as possible of how the hunt for the worlds most wanted man ended. In Binladen's case not very well. Director Kathryn Bigelow leaves no stone unturned of how the CIA and other intelligence groups gathered as much data to zone onto their target. The film is set into three parts. The first is quite uncomfortable viewing as intelligence is extracted via any means possible. The second is following the leads and meeting a lot of dead ends, the final thirty minutes is the raid. The raid is some of the most knuckle chewing bits of film making I have seen in years, as the operation almost failed and the fall-out could have started a war. We know how it ends, but how it is executed is very well done, no patriotic flag waving, Binladen's death is done in an uncompromising matter of fact fashion not giving rise to fanatical death calls. This is a hot potato subject and the film has the common sense not to choose sides. The target was killed and lessons on who to trust in the future must be learnt. the simple fact is trust no one!Although released at the start of 2013 Zero Dark Thirty has to be a strong contender for one of the best films of the year, even though it didn't get the oscar ( probably due to the subject matter ) It's not an action film, and the attention to deatail my be exausting to some, but stick with it, as this is a film you'll be talking about long after the end credits have rolled.See If You Like......Argo.Black Hawk Down.Body Of Lies.The Kingdom.Munich.Hurtlocker.The Greenzone.

9/07 in Yankee History
The red-letter day -
1978: The 'Boston massacre begins.
The Yankees' 4 games behind the Red Sox the AL East' arrive in Boston for a crucial 4-game series. The Yanks begin the set with a 15-3 rout as Willie Randolph drives in 5 of the runs. The Yanks collect 21 hits off 4 Sox pitchers' including 3 hits apiece by Randolph' Thurman Munson and Roy White. Mike Torrez, who is chased after one inning of work' takes the loss. Ken Clay, coming on to relieve Catfish Hunter, is the winner.
On other 7ths of September…
2002: The Tigers defeat the Yankees 2-1. Detroit first baseman Eric Munson hits a Mike Mussina fastball, the first pitch he sees in the Majors, for a solo homer in the 3rd.
1996: Complaining of abdominal pains the day of his scheduled start at the Stadium' Toronto's Juan Guzman collapses in the visitors' clubhouse a few minutes before the name and is rushed to New York's Columbia Presbyterian Hospital where he undergoes an emergency appendectomy. He will not pitch again this season and his 2.93 ERA will lead the AL.
1985: Dave Winfield steals home with the winning run in the Yankees 3-2 win over the A's. Following a pitchout in the 7th' Winfield gets hung up in a rundown but escapes to score.
1974: In the second game with the Tigers' who had already taken the opener 8-3, Graig Nettles loses a single when it is discovered he is using a corked bat. The Yankees still win 1-0 on, on an earlier Nettles homer.
1964: In the morning game of a scheduled doubleheader' the Yankees beat the Twins 5-4 in 11 innings. The nitecap is postponed because of rain. Tony Kubek hits a leadoff homer for the second game in a row' and scores the winning run in the 11th. Roger Maris has a 2-run homer and the game-winning RBI.
1961: Roger Maris lays down a bunt and also belts his 55th homer of the year in the 3rd inning as New York beats the Senators' 7-3. All of Washington's scores come in the 6th on an inside-the-park homer by Tito Francona, off Ralph Terry. When asked by a writer after the game why he bunted' Maris eloquently replies' "Trying to win the game' you stupid c*cks*cker, why do you think?"
1959: At Fenway' the trio of Pumpsie Green, Don Buddin and pitcher Jerry Casale tie a Major League record by belting consecutive homers in the 2nd off Bob Turley to pace the Sox to a 12-4 drubbing of New York. Andy Carey connects for a pinch-hit home run in the 3rd' and Mickey Mantle adds one the same inning' but little else happens for New York' who lose the season series with the Sox for the first time in 11 years.
1955: Whitey Ford continues his mastery with his AL-record second consecutive one-hitter' beating the A's 2-1. Jim Finigan hits a 2-out single in the 7th for the A's only safety. Ford is the 5th ML pitcher to throw consecutive one-hitters. Arnie Portocarrero, who scatters 6 hits, is the hard-luck loser.
1952: A pinch-hit grand slam by Johnny Mize gives the Yanks a 5-1 win at Washington. The Big Cat has now homered in each one of the 15 ML parks' including Sportsman's Park in St. Louis while in each league. Mize joins Jeff Heath as the only players to homer in every park in their league in one season; Mize also connected in each NL park in 1937' 1940' and 1947.
1949: At the Stadium' Allie Reynolds walks the first 3 Red Sox batters before Bobby Doerr singles home two runs. After that, the Big Chief settles down, and that will be all the scoring the Sox can manage. The Yankees come back to take a 3-2 lead and' after Doerr triples in the 8th' Joe Page comes in from the bullpen to save the game for Reynolds. The final is 5-2' with the hitting provided by Bobby Brown (2-run homer) and Billy 'Bull' Johnson with two triples.
1938: On Joe Cronin Day at Fenway' Jimmie Foxx leads the Red Sox to an 11-4 win over the Yankees. Double X has 8 RBI on 3 hits, including a pair of homers, and all in just 5 1/2 innings as the game is called on account of rain. Lou Gehrig has a pair of singles and each time steals second base. The second theft will be the last steal of his career.
1934: Lou Gehrig and Jimmie Foxx, heirs to Babe Ruth's AL home run crown, continue to do battle for the title. Gehrig hits his 44th, in Chicago' and Foxx his 41st, in Detroit.
1932: Babe Ruth is hospitalized with pains in his side. The slugger will be out of action for five days.
1931: In the opener of a doubleheader in Philadelphia' the Yankees begin with 8 walks and score 8 times in the first inning on only 2 hits. Eddie Rommel' the 4th pitcher in the frame' retires Babe Ruth' Lou Gehrig' and Ben Chapman on strikes. The Yanks win 15-3. In the second game' Ruth and Gehrig bang 6th-inning homers off former teammate Waite Hoyt, and the Babe adds another shot off Hoyt in the 9th' his 40th. The Yanks roll 9-4 over the first-place A's.
1928: The stumbling Yanks drop a pair to the Senators' losing 11-0 and 6-1. Bump Hadley tosses the shutout and adds three singles. Fred 'Firpo' Marberry wins the nitecap over Waite Hoyt for his second win over New York in 5 days. The Yankees, who led by 13 1/2 games on July 1st' are now tied with the A's.
1927: After blasting 3 home runs in a doubleheader split with the Red Sox yesterday' Babe Ruth hits 2 today off Danny MacFayden in a 12-10 win. This gives him a ML record-tying 5 in 3 games and he now leads Lou Gehrig 49 HRs to 45. Gehrig will hit just two more the rest of the way.
1926: Urban Shocker (below) and the Yankees beat the Red Sox 4-2, dealing the hapless Bostonians their 17th straight loss.
1925: After apologizing to his teammates yesterday' Babe Ruth makes his first appearance in a week' collecting one hit in a 5-1 loss to the Red Sox.
1922: At the Polo Grounds' Carl Mays shuts out Philadelphia on a 4-hitter' 2-0' for his 9th straight win over the A's. Two of the hits are clean and 2 are scratch. Eddie Rommel (below)' in relief of losing pitcher Scott Perry, strikes out Babe Ruth' Del Pratt' and Bob Meusel in the 8th.
1908: On Labor Day' Senators' manager Joe Cantillon starts Walter Johnson in place of one pitcher who is ill, and another who returned to Washington to be with his ailing wife. Only 3 Senators' pitchers made the trip to New York. The Big Train shuts out the Highlanders for the 3rd time in 4 days' 4-0' topping Jack Chesbro again and allowing just 2 hits and no walks. In the three games' Johnson allows 12 hits' walks one' and strikes out 12. The Washington ace will pitch 130 shutouts during his career' 23 more than runner-up Grover Cleveland Alexander. This is one of a ML record (tied in 1942' topped in 1972) 7 shutouts tossed today' out of 16 games.

ALBANY COUNTY, N.Y. -- Some Wal-Mart employees across the country are greeting Black Friday customers with protests. The workers are calling for better work conditions, wages and benefits.
In Glenmont, Wal-Mart employees say Wal-Mart has a moral obligation to pay more. They say, as a result, it's putting a strain on the local economy.
"Actually, when you raise the minimum wage, it helps to boost the local economies, because these workers are now able to go out and spend there, spend money on things they need, the necessities of life," said Frank Natalie, Schenectady Area Labor Counsel AFL-CIO President.
We reached out to Wal-Mart for comment and are waiting to hear back.
