Americans See Real Rewards From Workplace Wellness Programs
More American workers recognize the rewards of participating in workplace wellness programs, according to the latest Principal Financial Well-Being Index SM : American Workers. Sixty-two percent of workers, up from 55 percent 2011, believe workplace wellness activities are successful in improving health and reducing health risks.
The index, which surveys American workers at growing businesses with 10-1,000 workers 1, is released by the Principal Financial Group ® and conducted by Harris Interactive ®. These findings focusing specifically on wellness attitudes and behaviors among American workers were taken from the fourth quarter 2012 Index.
By taking advantage of workplace wellness offerings, American employees are approaching their work with more energy and motivation. Fifty-one percent of program participants feel wellness benefits encourage them to work harder and perform better, and another 59 percent of program participants say they have more energy to be productive at work as a result of their participation in employer-sponsored wellness programs.
"As wellness programs become more established in the workplace, we are seeing a growing number of employees appreciate – and expect – that their employer offers these benefits," said Lee Dukes, president of Principal Wellness Company, a subsidiary of the Principal Financial Group. "In the wake of the financial crisis, which has left many companies stretched thin, maintaining a productive workforce is a priority for organizations."Nearly half (45 percent) of employees agree that an employer-sponsored wellness program would encourage them to stay in their current employment situation, up from 40 percent 2011. Additionally, 43 percent of participants say wellness programs have led them to miss fewer days of work, up eight percent from 2011. Despite the apparent benefits, about a third (34 percent) of workers still do not participate in any of the wellness programs offered by their employers.

With Peter Capladi set to take over as the new Time Lord in this year's Doctor Who Christmas Special, eventually a new intro will be created for the 12th Doctor.
It seems a certain fan can't wait that long as the following Peter Capaldi Doctor Who intro was put together.
It's an original concept featuring the Tardis making its way literally through time as clocks are used instead of space.
Pretty cool!
Showrunner Steven Moffat previously described Peter Capaldi's Doctor as "a fiercer man."

In his acclaimed "Startup Metrics for Pirates: AARRR!" presentation, Dave McClure highlights 5 steps to success with your customers: acquisition, activation, retention, referral and revenue. In this introductory marketing class, I'll give a 90-minute overview of all of this lingo, and will put special focus on the topics of acquisition, retention and revenue.
Who should take this class? Pretty much anyone but seasoned marketers. Whether you're a founder looking to better understand how to structure your marketing efforts (or what to look for when hiring a marketing leader), an engineer seeking to better collaborate with your business lines, or someone totally new to the internet industry just hoping to get your feet wet with some basic understanding and technical lingo, this class should service you well. Novice marketers looking for more technical frameworks around acquisition, retention and revenue are also welcome.
I am an incredibly data-driven marketer and will advocate a quantitative approach in this class. Students will leave with not only a qualitative understanding of these topics, but also some quantitative frameworks to leverage to assess their marketing efforts (e.g. how to calculate lifetime value, how to think about long tail customer acquisition costs, etc.). Students in this class should feel comfortable with basic math equations.
I'll be rolling out in-depth classes on each of these topics (acquisition, retention, revenue modeling) in the next few months, so this class is intended to be the prerequisite for what's to follow.
Still not sold? Read about how my student Kareem Mayan used his learnings from my class on cohort analysis to reduce his business' cancellation rates by 87.5%.
Coming soon...
I'll give a 90-minute survey lecture about how to think about user acquisition and retention (i.e. systems you need, how to configure them, metrics to look at) as well as how to think about revenue as a success measure (LTV, RPM, etc.).
I'll be rolling out in-depth classes on each of these topics (acquisition, retention, revenue modeling) in the next few months, so this class is intended to be the prerequisite for what's to follow.
Coming Soon...

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Bella Rose!
Facts about Bella Rose
- Breed: Shih Tzu/Japanese Chin Mix
- Color: Brown/Chocolate
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Bella Rose's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Bella Rose is an adorable and spunky Shih Tzu/Japanese Chin mix. She has beautiful thick black fur with white accents on her face, chest and feet. Bella weighs about 8 pounds and will be 3 years old in February. Bella is looking for a family that will give her lots of love and care! When she came into our rescue, Bella had a luxating patella or kneecap that was never in place. She had surgery on October 7th to repair her knee and is now walking and moving around just great! Bella will just need to always keep her "girlish figure" so she doesn't put extra stress on her leg. It will also be important for her to walk so she keeps herself and her legs in shape! Bella loves to go for walks and play so exercising will be a joy for her! Fetching her ball or a toy is a favorite past time of this little girl! She also loves rides in the car or just looking out the window to watch the world outside! Bella has another special quality, she likes to talk to you! Talking does not mean barking, although she does bark if she sees something outside to warn you about. Her talking sounds like little "woofs" that let you know what she wants or likes. Bella has "happy sounds" and "bossy sounds". You will quickly learn what Bella wants when she talks to you. Bella is learning to control her "talking" with the help of her foster mom and some training. Bella would do best in a quiet home with adults only. She loves to be your companion so Bella would be happiest in a home where someone is also home much of the day. Bella can be an only dog in the home or she would also be happy with another small dog who is submissive in nature. Bella has also enjoyed cats as companions in her previous family. Bella is almost totally house trained as long as you remember to take her outside on a regular schedule. Because Bella is still young and also a bit spirited, she would really benefit from obedience training with her new owner. Bella is healthy, spayed, micro chipped and up to date on her vaccinations. Her adoption fee is $370.00 plus sales tax. Bella's foster family would like to find a home for her within 30 miles of Minneapolis. Her adoptive family is also encouraged to attend the Shih Tzu Rescue Reunion held the third Saturday in June each year. If you are interested in adding this sweet girl to your family, please contact Shih Tzu Rescue of Minnesota at www.shihtzurescuemn.org/adopt. Please thoroughly read the adoption information to help you understand the process, requirements and timeline for adoption. To meet Bella and other dogs available for adoption from Shih Tzu Rescue of Minnesota, please visit with us from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM at the Minnetonka Petco near Ridgedale the last Saturday of every month.
Other Pets at Shih Tzu Rescue of Minnesota
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Bella Rose, a Eden Prairie Shih Tzu/Japanese Chin dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shih Tzu/Japanese Chin for sale in Eden Prairie, or seeking a Shih Tzu/Japanese Chin dog from a breeder in Eden Prairie.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Eden Prairie already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Eden Prairie breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Shih Tzu/Japanese Chin breeders who help with Shih Tzu/Japanese Chin rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Eden Prairie paves the way for another one to be saved.

Excerpted from: One Seed can Make the Whole Earth Green, #3
"Religious founders have been lying in every possible way. Moses lied to his people that on the Sinai mountain he had seen God, and God had given him ten commandments. Nobody has seen God.
"Just think of yourself: if by chance you come across God, what are you going to do? Hit him hard and kill him, because all the suffering that humanity has been going through for centuries and centuries is the responsibility of the God who created man, who created the world.
"What was the need? Existence was perfectly silent and beautiful. What was the need to create Genghis Khan, and Tamerlane, and Nadirshah? Just between these three, they killed one hundred million people.
"What was the need to create Adolf Hitler? And strangely enough, he killed God's chosen people: six million Jews in Germany! And he himself proclaimed that he was the reincarnation of a Jewish prophet, Elijah.
"Strange... a Jewish prophet killing six million Jews? He should have killed Germans. But the problem was, he had the same stupid idea: that the Nordic German race is the superiormost race; it is born just to conquer the world. Other races are subhuman. That was the clash. Two 'chosen' races cannot live together. Their egos continuously get into conflict.
"All these religions say there is only one God and one God creates three hundred religions just to fight with each other? This God must be mad, if he exists at all.
"I feel it is better that we should trust Friedrich Nietzsche's declaration that he is dead, because to be dead is better than to be mad. At least you died in full sanity.
"My feeling is he committed suicide, seeing the situation and what a mess he had created." Osho

Party Planning for Procrastinators
Somewhere between Secret Santa with the girls and your sisters cookie exchange, you managed to overcommit yourself (again!) this year. And now youre trying to throw together a holiday party at the last minute. Dont fret just follow these time-saving tips from the pros.
By Jennifer Barnes
Hot Cocoa and Cupcakes
Are your friends already booked every weekend in December? "Host a pancake brunch or hot chocolate and cupcakes after an outdoor activity like caroling or hanging Christmas lights," says Sandomeno. Celebrations like these shift the focus to one party element, which simplifies the planning process and dodges popular Friday and Saturday nights. If you opt for hot cocoa and cupcakes, stock up on mugs and toppings such as marshmallows, candy canes, and cinnamon. Mimosas and a flight of flavored syrups are perfect complements for a pancake brunch.
If your friends are die-hard sports fans, don't bother trying to schedule around the big game. Instead, invite them over to watch. "You can never go wrong with a huge batch of chili that is served with all the fixings for a casual get-together," says Ian Knauer, host of Tastemakers on TakePart TV. "For your guests, half the fun is decorating their own bowls of chili with chopped onion, cilantro, and sour cream."

Linn Energy Continues to Cut Deals Amid Accounting Scrutiny
Updated from 12:16 a.m. ET with closing share prices and additional information throughout.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Linn Energy (LINE) continues to cut acquisitions as the upstream oil and gas master limited partnership tries to overcome scrutiny surrounding its accounting practices and increase its industry-leading dividend.
Houston-based Linn Energy said Thursday it will buy oil and natural gas properties in the Permian Basin for $525 million, in a move to increase the company's exposure to the region and expand its low-risk drilling assets.
Thursday's deal will add 300 proved low-risk infill drilling opportunities to Linn Energy, and will be financed with proceeds from a committed $500 million senior secured term loan with certain participants in its lender group and borrowings under its revolving credit facility, the company said.Linn did not disclose which lenders will be financing the transaction in its press release. In August, the company said it had added to its credit facilities by $1 billion to $4 billion, increasing its total lenders to forty-one. "We expect this transaction will be immediately accretive to cash available for distribution," Mark E. Ellis, Linn Energy's CEO, said in a statement. The acquisition contains oil and gas assets with an estimated first 12 months net production of about 4,800 barrels-of-oil-equivalent-a-day and overall proved reserves of about 30 million barrels of oil equivalent. Overall, the assets are tilted 70% toward oil and have a reserve to production ratio of roughly 17 years, the company said. Wells Fargo analyst Praneeth Satish estimated in a Thursday research note a deal could add about 10 cents to 15 cents to Linn Energy's distributable cash flow (DCF) per unit, given the 100% term-loan financing. If Linn Energy were to contribute 50% equity to the deal and assume lower crude oil prices, it could wipe out the earnings benefit of the acquisition, according to the analyst. "On the whole, we view the transaction as a modest positive but maintain our Market Perform ratings," Satish wrote. Linn Energy's acquisition comes just a day after the company alluded in a cryptic press release that it is making progress on an acquisition of Berry Petroleum (BRY). Linn Energy said it has received comments on an amended registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the acquisition and is now working to resubmit a S-4 to the regulator. The disclosure indicates Linn Energy could soon remove big questions hanging over the firm's finances. Linn Energy's shares were battered in July when the company said the SEC was conducting an informal review of its accounting practices and documents related to its proposed merger with Berry Petroleum. Linn Energy said on Wednesday it, LinnCo and Berry Petroleum have agreed to set the record dates of their stockholder meetings to Sept. 30, in a move that indicates they are making progress on what has been a very messy merger process. Shares in Linn Energy initially rose on the company's announced acquisition of Permian Basin assets, however, they closed down 3 cents, or less than 1%, at $27.87 on Thursday. Linn Energy's accounting practices and the non-GAAP metrics that drive its dividend have come under scrutiny in recent months from Barron's and independent research firm Hedgeye Risk Management. Both Barron's and Hedgeye argue Linn's use non-GAAP accounting figures overstates the cash flow it can pay out to shareholders and under-reports the expenses tied to its hedging practices and capital expenditure. If Linn Energy and Berry complete their merger, it would likely refute many of the concerns raised by Barron's and Hedgeye. The prospect the SEC approves Linn Energy's accounting disclosures could undermine analysis that the firm has not been upfront with its investors. A merger could also help Linn Energy increase its dividend payout to $3.05 a share, on an annualized basis. There is still little clarity on what non-GAAP metrics Linn Energy will disclose in its amended S-4, or whether those disclosures would change impressions of the firm's financial condition. Linn Energy declined to elaborate on its comments. Investors should resist the temptation to draw conclusions from Linn Energy's Wednesday press release and any change to the SEC's informal review John Ragozzino, a RBC Capital Markets analyst, said in a Wednesday client note. "Our conversations with management included a warning against assuming anything with respect to the informal inquiry from today's announced S-4 update," the analyst wrote. Ragozzino also said a negative outcome of the SEC's inquiry remains "material" and he expects clarity on the effectiveness of Linn Energy's S-4 by mid-October, at the earliest. Satish, the Wells Fargo analyst, said that Linn's disclosure on Wednesday indicated the company's Berry acquisition was "back on track" and "close to finalization." Nonetheless, Wells Fargo retained a "neutral" rating given uncertainty over whether the SEC will mandate accounting changes at Linn Energy. "

By Reed and Rhonda J. from Sandwich, IL on Jan 23, 2011
I was so happy with the value and quality of this rug! It is beautiful! It is very soft and feels expensive. It is very cream and black and definitley makes a statement! Shipping was fast and wrapped well. It layed out flat right away. I hope the quality is there so it is lasting, but I would definitely recommend this even if you arent on a budget!

FSA to consult on delaying platform reporting rules
The Financial Services Authority (FSA) will consult on delaying the implementation of new client reporting rules for platforms.
Earlier this month, Money Marketing, Fundweb's sister publication, revealed the FSA's investment policy team was recommending to the FSA board that the new rules are delayed until the end of 2013.
The regulator has this week emailed platforms, telling them there will be a chapter in the FSA's upcoming quarterly consultation paper, to be published on June 6, which will start a four-week consultation period with the industry before recommendations are put to the FSA board in July.
The email, seen by Money Marketing, says: "Instead of approaching the June board directly, we have secured a chapter in the June quarterly consultation paper to consult on the postponement. The consultation period for this issue will be four weeks only, which will allow us to take the postponement to the July board."
In its August policy statement, the regulator stipulated from January 1, 2013, platforms will be required to provide advised and non-advised investors with the information and notifications they receive from fund managers and depositories about any changes to their investments.
Under the rules, the information can be sent electronically but where that is not possible, it must be sent by post. Clients will not be allowed to opt out.
The Lang Cat principal Mark Polson says: "I think all the platforms will say that this should be delayed. I am not sure the FSA really needs another consultation to gauge those views."

Still Talkin' Ish: Amanda Bynes Targets The Obamas In Her 'Ugly Campaign'
Amanda Bynes has done it again! If you are familiar with the child actresses' social media antics, you know she loves to call people ugly. Well today, homegirl decided to put the icing on the cake with the disrespect, tweeting that President and First Lady Obama are ugly.
Yes, you read that right.
USA Today reports:
The tweet is the latest in a string of tweets devoted to calling people ugly. Celebs she has targeted include Jenny McCarthy, Rihanna, Courtney Love and Jay-Z. In May, she was feuding with model Chrissy Tiegen about being ugly. Most recently she went from saying Drake is "gorgeous," to yes, "Drake is ugly."
It has been speculated Amanda needs to seek professional help but she has repeatedly stated she is fine. Last month we reported her fellow co-star from All That, Nick Cannon, tried to reach out to her to help but Amanda quickly shut him down.
In an interview with America's Got Talent co-worker and judge Howard Stern, Nick Cannon openly spoke on his feelings about the downward spiral Amanda Bynes is going through in the public eye. To see her now, calling folks ugly, wearing wigs, getting excessive plastic surgery and just behaving erratically. Cannon says it's sad and that he's made an effort to try and reach out to her. Bynes went on to Tweet out her lack of appreciation for anybody trying to reach out to her, because she's not trying to hear it: "If you're not hot I don't value your opinion. Stop trying to force me to listen if I show no interest."
Maybe the secret service can get to her, you think?

3, 2, 1, Meltdown: 8 Celebrities Who Took Their Anger To Twitter
It's hard to resist the uninterrupted free speech that social media affords. Celebrities certainly give in to the temptation from time-to-time. Twitter provides 140 characters for public displays of discord, self-righteous ego stroking, and an opportunity to set any record straight that might be askew (which, of course, can depend on who you ask).
Rants happen. Here are eight celebrities that got a bee in their bonnet and decided that venting on Twitter was the best way to handle that.
New Words For 2013: 'Tweet' And Other Tech Jargon Added To The Oxford English Dictionary
Tweet: The Oxford English Dictionary officially defines it as "a posting made on the social networking service Twitter" and as a verb, it is defined as "to post on Twitter."
Most people know the word Tweet. But now it has officially been declared a "word" by the folks at the Oxford English Dictionary. Tweet has been added to the dictionary, reports The Los Angeles Times. According to John Simpson, the dictionary's chief editor, "tweet" was added even though it has not yet been used for 10 years, which is one rule the dictionary considers before adding a new word. But it was added, Simpson told the Times because , the word "seems to be catching on."
There were some other tech jargon added. Definitions for "big data," meaning "computing data of a very large size"; "crowdsourcing," which is defined as "the practice of obtaining information or services by soliciting input from a large number of people"; and "e-reader," which is a tablet device used for digital books, were all added to the Oxford English Dictionary.
And "mouseover," which is when you move your computer mouse toward an object on the screen; "redirect," which is when a URL goes from one Web page to another; and "stream," when data is transfered from the Internet to a device, all were added as well.
What other tech words would you suggest for the next update?
15 Twitter Dont's We Learned From Celebrities
Glamour Tweets
Not everyone wants to read about how beautiful you think you are. Nicole Richie's Twitter account used to be filled with Glamour Tweets, but now that Nicole is no longer under Paris's narcissistic influence, she's finding out that she can attract more fans with funny tweets than with vain ones. Now she makes fun of her old Glamour Tweets in her new webisode show #CandidlyNicole.
Where Are They Now? Real R&B Divas/Soul Singers Who Deserved More Shine
I'm sure you were somewhere getting in your feelings to the jams of these ladies. If not, you were pretending to be more cultured because you knew the words to Tracy Chapman's "Give Me One Reason," either way, the women behind some of our favorite emotional jams had more talent in their pinky fingers than most singers had in their whole bodies. Many achieved a pretty good level of success, and some are happy just making music, but they're very underrated to us.
Real Or Fake: Singer Tweet Is Considering Suing…Twitter?
Unfortunately, this is real. Very, very real.
First of all, let's just get this out of the way: you all remember singer Tweet, right? She had the song "Oops (Oh My)" from her amazing debut album Southern Hummingbird. Okay good, we're all on track now. Back to business.
Well, she recently had a little chat with All Hip Hop about where she's been since the release of her second album and the new music on her latest EP. They then mentioned to her that Twitter has become insanely popular and asked if she considered changing her name. This was her response:
"No. If anything, Twitter would have to change something up. I was here first, and they took everything that I brought to the table. I brought the bird, the name and I will never change. I've been Tweet since I was a little girl. It's not a phase name, that's who I am. My father gave me that nickname, so no way am I changing that at all."
They went on to ask her about the rumor of her possibly suing Twitter:
"No, it's no rumor. I didn't go that far, yet. Yes, there is a case, and there is room for that. I haven't really pursued it fully yet."
There's just so much confusion here. First, singer Tweet actively uses Twitter to tweet to her fans. The only reason anyone knows she has a new EP out is because she uses the site to promote her music (I don't know about you but I don't think any of my local radio stations have asked her to come promote it). The excitement over her, so to speak, has dwindled – at least from a record label perspective – so Twitter is the easiest and cheapest route for her to get info out to the masses.
Second, whether or not Twitter decided for themselves that the word "tweet" would be used to define what people are doing on the site, a lot of people just decided that's the word they would use to describe what they were doing anyway.What other word would there eve be? "Twittering?" That just sounds silly.
Third: With all due respect, ma'am, the vast majority of people on Twitter probably don't know you. The head honchos at Twitter don't know you. Personally, I'm a fan; back when Southern Hummingbird came out, my friends and I would sing the entire album and actually, we called it "tweeting." So, while I think it is funny how the two have that connection in my world (and maybe a few of you too), let's not get too crazy. It's not like the use of the word on Twitter has caused her to lose money or for people to become insanely confused.
If she actually decides to pursue this, I'd be really interested to hear what she'd like them to change. I'd also like to know if she would sue them for money because to move forward on something like this and possibly ask for money, the figure would likely be pretty high. Hilarious.
By the way, Tweet does have an EP out called Simpy Tweet and she says her new album will be out during the summer or in September. Now, that's something to be [cautiously] excited about.
What do you think about this? Would Tweet have a leg to stand on?
#BowDownKeyshia: The Most Hilarious @KeyshiaCole Mentions From The BeyHive Yesterday
Soooo, it's safe to say that Keyshia Cole has mad hate for superstar sensation Beyonce Knowles. On St. Patty's Day, Beyonce dropped her latest single "Bow Down" and in a tweet to the world, Keyshia responded to the new song with, "First, "Women need to Stick together" now B****es better Bow. Smh. But it's all G! Chicks stay shooting the s***. But when I speak my mind its a prob. #Well #StayMad."
The funny thing is Bey doesn't have to utter one comeback as her fans have already come back extra hard online . Keyshia might want to shut down her twitter account indefinitely after this one. #Womantowoman, if you mess with the Queen Bey, you will get stung . . . multiple times. #ouch#Let the tweets speak for themselves.

It's Hot In Them Tweets: Celebs Who Quit Twitter When Ish Got Too Real
We all know that social networking can cause plenty of heated arguments. From disses to rumors and everything in between, it's not uncommon for someone, even a celebrity, to quit a social networking site, such as Twitter when things get a little too heated — or they forget 18.75 million people are watching their every tweet. Here are 15 celebrities who temporarily or permanently quit Twitter.
Chris Brown
After getting into a heated match with Jenny Johnson about Rihanna a couple of weeks ago, Chris Brown temporarily deleted his Twitter account. Unsurprisingly, he was reactivated and reusing his account the very next day. This isn't the first or the last time Chris will quit Twitter.
Are You Tweeting During Sunday Church Service?
An Arizona church is encouraging congregants to use social media. Not just in their personal time, but during service.
"We feel like if they can take action in the moment, it's much more impactful for them and for the person they are interacting with," Lead Pastor Ted Baird told Fox 2 Now in St. Louis.
Church members relish the chance to take advantage of the rule, one that isn't shared among many churches across the country. "I love it and think everybody should do it. It's the way we connect these days," said Barbi Nix, a church member.
Of course, they're being pushed to spread the Word in their social media interactions, but still, some might have a problem with a person tweeting and Facebooking during the sermon.
So how do you feel? Is this practice OK in your opinion?

'I Had to Change My Whole Everything:' Tweet Explains Six-Year Hiatus
Long before the word "Tweet" was associated with a social networking website, the R&B songstress was a household name. Tweet recorded vocals for Missy Elliot, Ja Rule, Bubba Sparx, Timbaland and others. Then she released her debut single, "Oops (Oh My)" followed up by two albums "Southern Hunnmingbird" and "It's Me Again". For several years though, we hadn't heard a peep from Tweet.
Now, after a six-year hiatus, the singer is back to making music and she sat down with Hello Beautiful to discuss the industry, finding God, being celibate, and releasing her third album "Simply Tweet".
What were you doing during this whole hiatus?
Well, what was most important for me to do was get my life right with Christ. My spiritual life was suffering. I guess being in the business, you know I was hurt and bitter and I really didn't want to do music anymore because of everything that I was going through, I wasn't supported a lot. And so I decided to leave the business for a while, in hiatus. I got my life together with Christ and I was mom you know for a long time and now im grandmom, happily a grandmom. I had to get back in tuned with Him.
Are you going back to work with Missy and Timbaland?
No, actually "Simply Tweet" is really just simply me. I wanted to do this on my own and prove to myself that I could do it and be a business woman. Not to say that we aren't gonna work together and haven't tried to, but it's just our schedules and things just didn't pan out on this album. But maybe in the future. We're still friends and all that stuff, but this one was just for me to prove as a businesswoman that I could really do it on my own.
"Oops Oh My" was very sexually suggestive, do you have anything like that planned for this album?
No, not really. "Oops" was an accident. Missy and I were riding and Tim had given her a CD of some tracks and that track came on. I just started singing 'oops' in a song and she was like 'oh my god we need to do this record' So I started singing a song about pulling my skirt down and it was just an accident. But its nothing, I don't think I have anything like that on this album. This album is more mature, it's still Southern Hummingbird. I'm not afraid to be who I am vocally and just me as a woman. It's very womanly this record, Simply Tweet.
3 sex tips:
1) Protect yourself.
2) Don't spread yourself. Just choose wisely.
3) I don't know, I've been celibate for 6 years so I don't even know what, I'm kinda out of touch with it.
You've been celibate for 6 years?
Yeah since my last relationship. I'm telling you with the hiatus, I had to change my whole everything. I have a new outlook on life and everything. And that's why I say don't spread yourself too freely, make sure you're making the right decisions and protect yourself.
How has your celibacy journey been going?
It's not hard because the reason why I'm doing it is religious. The way I'm living my life now doesn't cost, I don't need that. Everything that I need is in my Lord and Savior and that's important until I meet my husband. I'm focused on whatever I have to do to please God and to do my music and spend time with my family. It's not hard at all. They say 'once you can stop doing something for 21 days or 30 days, you can conquer it.' I guess that's a good advice for somebody that wants to take that route as well.
I can't believe Tweet is a grandmother! She is in her 40's, so she is a young grandmother but she's still much older than Beyonce, Rihanna, Keri Hilson and other popular R&B artists today. The game has changed so much since Tweet joined the music industry back in the early 2000's, but it's always great to hear about a singer staging a comeback after a long hiatus. It will be interesting to see how her life choices affect her music content this time around.
Are you looking forward to new music from Tweet?

Rego Park, Queens (PIX11)—The line stretched around the block for Daniel Fernandez's wake.
The 16-year old St. Francis Prep student died Friday while on-board a double decker party bus.
The packed bus was heading from Queens to a Sweet 16 party in Garfield
Classmate Corrine Blase told Pix11's Jay Dow, "I don't know. I honestly don't know. He wasn't a stupid kid. He knew right from wrong, and I just really don't know what would possess him to do that."
Police have not confirmed earlier media reports that alcohol may have been alcohol on the bus.
But before the accident, the kids were certainly having a good time. Many of the tidbits from that night were documented on social media sites Twitter and Instagram.
"He was always happy. He was always there for you," said classmate Louisa Alverez. "He touched a whole lot of people's lives."
At the funeral home, the emphasis was on remembering a popular student who touched many lives.
For the mother of a classmate named Petra (who declined to give her last name), explaining this tragedy to her own children has been especially challenging.
"This will be with them for the rest of their lives. It's just that way with these kids. Actually, I know all his family all my life. It's horrifying," Petra said.

Anyone have any funny virgin honeymoon stories? None here- but my brother & his wife- both GOOD WITNESSES got married- didn't get to complete the act for 6 weeks- his wife had no idea he was so big- and kept crying & was afraid. Just another "well educated" witness girl. Do you think they PURPOSELY keep everyone stupid?

Well, I'm not married, (still a virgin........hahahaha.......some guy's in for a big surprise one day when I finally get up the nerve to go have sex) so this isn't one about me, but all my friends got married real young (17 or 18) and here are some quotes they gave me about their wedding night sex......:
"You're never doing that to me again"
"I think we need to take lessons"
"Like a stick being shoved up you." (the answer I got to: what does it feel like?)
"Quit screaming, will ya?!"
"We got married for that?"
"He wanted to have oral sex, but my conscience wouldn't let him"

It's a small thing, but no one, including my very liberal mother, told me that the stuff comes back out. When you watch movies, soap operas or whatever, they just lie there, so I assumed it was really thick or was absorbed or something.
It took a whole month for the pain to go away. I remember telling my doctor, "why are people so gaga over sex?" She laughed and assured me 'it gets much better, honey.' The act seemed to be interminable until one day, as I tensed up for the usual painful entry, there was....nothing. That's when I discovered my ex didn't last nearly as long as I'd thought.

The psychology behind the pain is facinating. These aren't funny stories, but they are JW stories.

Well no virgins on my shift but I do recall what one young witness lad said to me before his wedding. He said my son was kind of stupid to go to Maui for 10 days because all they would do is have sex 24/7. He was just going to go to a local motel. I told him that I hated to bust his bubble but it wasn't likely he would be capable of having sex 24/7. He looked shocked like I was some kind of idiot.
My son wasn't a virgin but his wife was. Or so they say and I believe them on this point. She thought it was also going to be a 24/7 type of thing. In fact they were scheduled to leave for Maui the next day and thought she wouldn't be capable of waking up before noon so they took an afternoon flight.
She was up by 9 for breakfast in bed.

not humorous, just normal boring stuff, like it hurt and no one told me that you would bleed from your hymen being punctured. it was scary, but liberating. i thought is that all there is to it? it didn't seem like much fun. the first time. but i had married a very nice (and older) wordly man who taught me all kinds of interesting things, and soon i discovered just how thrilling and exciting it could be, once the psychological barriers were torn down.

Well, I got the "talk" from my Mother on my wedding day. She went on and on about everything and even informed me that if my husband had to much to drink, he would probably not be able to perform. I was very surprised at this because he never had a problem with not being able to perform when he was drinking. Poor Mom sooooo naive.

mmm... i know what you mean. that doesn't have any affect. this sounds funny, but tasting alcohol on your lover's tongue is, well, intoxicating. (and i don't even drink!)
anyway, your mom was nice to give you 'the talk'. mine couldn't bear to even mention anything remotely sexual...

We had a bit of the ole' 'mutual masterbation' going for a while, and that was much better than the early times we did 'the real thing' after the wedding; that was nowhere near as good as the furtive groping in the car (when parked), or one of us, umm, 'servicing' the other (while driving)... (Still miss that:-)
Funnier thing... older Sis in the Congo 'confided' in my wife that her daughter phoned her from their overseas honeymoon becuase they couldn't figure out how to do it... maybe they were joking (v.sick joke)????
Enjoy, Max

Some JWs have a fairly normal sex life even before they are married, in secret of course.
However, many live in the twilight world of JW Victorian sensibilities. My wife was one such person. On our wedding night, we were both virgins, I was shocked to find that my 26 year old bride didn't know what an erection was, she just didn't know that the penis changed size etc. Mind you, I was so shy that I got into bed with my underpants on and took them off under the covers. My wife was so tense that we couldn't do it for three days or four days. All of the suppression of sexual desire that we had engaged in all our adult lives took a long time to recover from. Just another way that the WBTS damages people psychologically. My wife never really did relax, never really stopped seeing sex as 'dirty'. I tried my hardest, spending hours pampering, touching, stimulating (I can last a lot longer than two minutes) but to no avail. In the end I just gave up. Now, at the age of 41, I am resigned to never having sex again because I can't make love to a woman that can't enjoy the act - the main reason for sex, in my opinion, is the sharing of pleasure, it should never be one-sided; and without that sharing there is no point to it.
Sorry this isn't very funny.

oh, don't give up. anyone with your philosophy shouldn't give up. don't let one bad experience destroy your ardor. 41 is way too young to resign yourself to never again experiencing the joys of sexual pleasure and true intimacy. not all women are like that, you know.

On my honeymoon my wife and I had a great evening doing what "cums naturally" then off to sleepy-by. About 2:00 I woke up with my arms asleep, ( I worked in a lumber mill and my arms were stretched from pulling heavy lumber from the green chain all day). I sat up in bed and shook my hands and arms then went back to sleep. The second time, she woke up too and asked if I was okay, the third time she got up and got a drink, the forth time she said something to the effect "do I have to go through every night like this"? It was rather traumatic for her thinking she had married this guy that sets up in bed every two hours and shakes! Thank God I got a different job at the mill so the numbness went away!

As a general rule, it is fairly safe to assume that most people do not associate the word "Porsche" with the word "discount." Across the globe, the name Porsche is recognized as being synonymous with quality and a certain degree of wealth. We know that the average driver is not going to touch a Porsche in his or her lifetime. This means that it takes a special kind of person to park a Porsche in the garage – and an even more special one to maintain it properly. With discount Porsche Carrera Parts, you can afford to maintain an already expensive car easily and without stress. Why is maintenance important? Simple: preventative maintenance is the best way to catch small problems early, before they become out of control. Porsche Carrera Parts represent a great way to manage your vehicle's health: you can latch onto solutions before problems become major. Porsche Parts, however, are expensive when purchased at list price. You already put a large sum of money into purchasing that Porsche to begin with – the last thing you need is to empty out your children's college accounts maintaining it. With discount Porsche Carrera Parts, then, you'll be able to easily maintain your vehicle in all manner of circumstances. Having a problem with your engine? No worries – there's a Porsche Carrera Part for that. Want to rebuild your suspension? You can – because there's a Porsche Part for that available at far below list price.
General questions? Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com In addition to free UPS ground shipping, you can upgrade to blue or red and only pay the difference. We are the perfect answer to your OEM Porsche Carrera parts search. It would be hard for you to find another website with better prices and better customer service. Order Porsche Carrera parts 24/7 using our online catalog and ordering system. Find the best quality and lowest prices on Porsche Carrera parts through our website.

Dale M. - Mira Loma, CA: I received the parts I ordered in a very timely manner. The web site was easy to navigate and find the parts. They were also the best price I could find of any of the websites I view. Thanks.
Tony L. - Baton Rouge, LA: Thanks for your prompt action. That is why I keep coming back. I ordered more parts today for my sister inlaw's car.

Topic: How Social is Social Media, Really?
Speaker: Ed Keller, CEO Keller Fay Group
Social networking sites have become the shiny new toys for many marketers today, and discussion about them dominates the marketing trade press. In this talk, Ed Keller of the Keller Fay Group will argue that social media websites are just one modest-sized piece of a much larger "social marketing" opportunity for brands. He argues for a holistic perspective which recognizes that "traditional" media such as television, the internet, and print offer audiences that can be far more "social" than Facebook and Twitter, and capable of motivating far more word of mouth advocacy for brands. Further, Keller will show that conversations that take place on social networking websites relating to products, services, and brands are only a small percentage of all consumer conversations about brands, and not representative of offline conversations.

Topic: Integrating Social Media Into the Marketing Mix
Speaker: Jessica Hogue, Research Director, CPG Online, The Nielsen Company
Social Media holds enormous potential for marketers. According to a survey conducted by NMIncite, a lack of metrics was the main barrier to furthering the use of social media within organizations. This presentation looks at barriers to integrating Social Media, and provides a discussion of Social Listening's power to improve customer satisfaction, marketing effectiveness and innovation within CPG companies.

send to: email@example.com
23th November 2012 +++ Press release by AwE130 +++
Apollo Lunar Surface Journal (ALSJ),
Again photoshopped images have been found in the ALSJ. It is time that the chief editors of the ALSJ accept their responsibility for these mistakes and step down. They have ignored these warnings for years and the ALSJ is losing its historical credibility. AwE130 is asking Eric M Jones and others to accept responsibility for ignoring these mistakes and to step away from the ALSJ. This is a serious matter and the trust in the ALSJ can not be restored by the chief editors who did not take these warnings seriously.
End of press release 23th Nov 2012 Text can not to be altered in any way without permission of AwE130.
We ask the media and other friends to launch a full investigation into the photoshopped material stored in the ALSJ without informing the visitor of it in the caption of those artistic representation. We talk about dozens and dozens of images (maybe even hundreds) and the ALSJ chief editors are aware of it for many years. We are not interested in proving or disproving the Apollo moon landings. We are interested in historical correct information, the chief editor Eric M Jones is a historian. We do not understand why he never corrected those errors reported to him over many years. It does not matter if the Apollo moon landings are real or fake, this is historical completely incorrect what ever position you have in the Apollo moon landing debate. We ask you to release our small press release on your websites and to inform your networks of our findings. It is time that both sides in the Apollo moon landing debate unite and work together on this issue. Both side would be better off when the photoshopped material is recognized by the ALSJ and removed or correctly labeled.Infoworriors join the whisper and search with us for the truth about the Apollo moon landings photo and film material. It is time you join the whisper.

5 Process for access
5.1 Introduction
A five step process has been established to facilitate the process of seeking funding for AOG initiatives and reporting progress on agreed initiatives - refer to Figure 2.
- Figure 2 - Cross Agency Initiative Process
5.2 Step 1 - Draft Proposal
Agencies seeking Cabinet agreement to funding for an AOG or cross agency initiative are to address the criteria as set out in Chapter 6 and abide by the guidelines for Cabinet papers.
The draft proposal is to be signed off by the relevant chief executive of the agency sponsoring the initiative.
5.3 Step 2 - Engage the Cross Agency PMO
The Cross Agency PMO will undertake an assessment of the proposal to support the development of quality proposals. It will assess the proposal in consultation with the State Services Commission (SSC), and against the criteria set out in Chapter 6. Chapter 6 provides a guide to agencies on the issues to be considered in the formulation of a proposal. It is not exhaustive and where necessary other issues specific to the nature of the proposal will need to be included on a case-by-case basis.
The Cross Agency PMO, in consultation with the SSC, will work cooperatively with the relevant agencies in the assessment and development of proposals to ensure Ministers and Cabinet have sufficient information to consider proposals.
In addition, the Cross Agency PMO will seek assistance, technical and otherwise, where necessary to assist in the assessment and development of proposals. The Cross Agency PMO will seek the advice of the Chief Executives' Governance Group and/or their members to assist, particularly where issues are systemic or raise policy or strategic issues.
5.4 Step 3 - Chief Executives' Governance Group Advice
To ensure the best proposals are developed, the Cross Agency PMO, in consultation with the SSC, will routinely seek the advice of the Chief Executives' Governance Group. The Chief Executives' Governance Group may seek additional information from the initiating agency and/or the Cross Agency PMO.
The Chief Executives' Governance Group's advice will be included in advice to the Minister of Finance, Minister of State Services and the relevant sponsoring Minister on proposals to proceed.
5.5 Step 4 - Ministerial and ECC/Cabinet Approval
The Ministers of Finance and State Services and the relevant sponsoring Minister will approve proposals to be submitted to Cabinet for consideration. Once approved, the proposal will be considered by the Expenditure Control Committee prior to consideration by Cabinet. Once a proposal receives the approval of Cabinet, the Cross Agency PMO will work with the relevant lead agency to arrange appropriation of the funding, as agreed.
5.6 Step 5 - Report Progress
The Cross Agency PMO, in consultation with the SSC, is responsible for providing reports to the Chief Executives' Governance Group and Ministers of Finance and State Services (and Cabinet as required) on initiatives agreed by Cabinet under CAIP. All CAIP initiatives will be required to submit progress reports to the Cross Agency PMO to meet the requirements of reporting to the Chief Executives' Governance Group, the Ministers and Cabinet.
The form of the reports will be concise and focus on major indicators of project health. The report format is under development and consultations with agencies and the Chief Executives' Governance Group will be undertaken prior to the finalisation of the format.
