"I'm getting excited about attending PRSA's 2012 International Conference in San Francisco next month," said Jessica, the account executive with an interest in PR measurement. She asked me about a pre-conference event that we're particularly excited about.
The PRSA/AMEC Measurement Symposium, held on Oct. 14, is a one-day event to give PR practitioners a complete course on measurement and evaluation, as well as the tools they need to succeed.
Participation can be part of overall Conference registration, or you can purchase it separately.
As part of your registration for the stand-alone event, you also have the opportunity to attend the plenary Conference session that day featuring an array of speakers, as well as the opening party that night, which is a great networking opportunity.
Here are some details:
Neil Gibson, vice president corporate communications, FedEx: "We often think of brand surveys and reputation research as two different forms of measurement. At FedEx, we are finding ways to bring the two together by taking these research outcomes and determining what is the common link in driving both business results and the overall reputation of our company."
David Kellis, director of public relations and social media, Clorox: "Whether it's social media, social CRM [or] any earned or owned media in the digital sphere, we need to be able to measure its effectiveness beyond just KPI measures. We can't continue to ask people to have faith that it's working. This isn't faith-based marketing. We need to measure impact and we need to measure business results."
Eve Stevens, senior vice president, Waggoner Edstrom Worldwide, presenting with Microsoft: "Communications has long relied on outputs such as number of articles or impressions as indicators of program success. Today, with greater access to data and technology advances, every business has the opportunity to expand their undestanding of communications impact on business priorities."
David B. Rockland, Ph.D., is partner/CEO and managing director for the research and change communications businesses at Ketchum. He has held leadership positions in corporate communications and research throughout his career, with extensive global experience in both fields. Email: email@example.com

Facebook Home Event: Live Blog Recap
MENLO PARK, Calif. ( TheStreet) -- Facebook (FB - Get Report) held its press event Thursday and announced Facebook Home, built of Android, making smartphones about humans first.
The social networking giant sent out invites last week which read: "Come See Our New Home on Android." Facebook built Home off Google's (GOOG) Android, keeping users on the social network by launching Chat Heads, App Drawer, Cover Feed, and Notifications.
Facebook Home will come on several different phones, the first being HTC First, which is available April 12 at AT&T (T) for $99.99. The phone can be pre-ordered starting Thursday. It will also be available on Samsung's Galaxy S4, which is due later this month.
Home is designed to keep you up to date on the people around you, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said during the presentation. "We think this is the best version of Facebook there is," he said. Home was designed to have smartphones, which Zuckerberg noted users check around 100 times a day, be around people, instead of apps. Facebook Home was designed to be the best experience of any phone: Chat Heads, which allows users to connect with friends via chats or sending articles; notifications allows users to see critical updates that are important to them. Currently, there are no ads on the first version of Facebook Home, but eventually there will be, Zuckerberg noted. During the question-and-answer session, Zuckerberg said Facebook still has a great relationship with Apple (AAPL), and the two companies plan to do more in the future, but it would be done via a partnership. Google is aware of what Facebook is doing, as Android was designed to be open. Facebook shares were jumping after the event, gaining 3.31% to $27.12. -- Written by Chris Ciaccia in Menlo Park, Calif. >Contact by Email.

Friday, May 16, 2014My back arched and my tail stood up straight last week when I heard about two acts of vandalism at Sandy Ground playgrounds, built in the tri-state area to honor each woman and child killed on 12/14. In another show of love winning over evil, however, both senseless acts have been turned on their head. Nelba Marquez-Greene has said that she would like to have a message board installed at the playground in Hartford honoring her daughter, Ana Marquez-Greene.

My wife Dee and I have a good sex life together. But recently I had said what was not enough. Once every few months I had the desire to have a very lusty meeting with several men. he was surprised by this, but after some discussion we decided it was okay to go for their future, while I was seeing. I have to admit that the thought of his men while I watched several fuck, really turns me on. She was glad to hear this and promised to get a show. made the arrangements. I do not know how, because I said so. As agreed, I knew in advance that would happen. One night I came home from work, and welcomed me into his coat. 'Tonight is the night,' he said. watchporn I immediately had an erection. We in the car as we drove to the meeting, told me that the rules of the game. I could see and masturbate, but nothing more. She had watchporn everything arranged, what could be watchporn done. A as they stopped in front of our goal, which waspanting in anticipation. I kissed her and went to the door. After a nice chapter rang opened the door and introduced himself as Peter. We entered the room and two other boys were watchporn the ones who introduced himself as Ron and Henry. Dee was helped out of his coat of Peter and she was there, wearing only high heels and theft. She looked fantastic. The boys looked at me and realized it was very sexy. She took to sitting on his lap and rubbed his face and chest following his round. Then he was invited to the coffee that is prepared and served to suspend all of its pages to them. watchporn I was sitting with the group involved in polite conversation. Dee was asked to sit on a couch in front of them, spread her legs and her pussy lips apart. I thought I would explode if I did. She turned and pulled her buttocks and displays everything from the other side I saw. Could through bulky pants they liked what they say, saw. Peter then decided it was time to go. Invited in the basement. All streamed there and went into a room that was very good. There was a gynecological table and several video cameras. Were changed to film the proceedings. Dee was invited to be on the table. The legs and body firmly bound. I was so excited about my cheeks felt hot to the touch. I sat watchporn on a stool in the corner. Dee was given a big black vibrator and asked their satisfaction. I knew that came with enthusiasm, crying aloud, however, as it always does. Now that she was naked and smeared the boys showed a rather large erection. The table was adjustable in height and was in a position where someone can get, set, while another person could get a blowjob. Peter was the first. It slowly slid into her pussy tool of Dee, which led them to be grateful sigh. Meanwhile, put his mouth Heny and offered his cock sucked greedily. Ron began the HIMSIf you look at the whole scene. I was masturbating furiously. The atmosphere was electric. Dee moans and groans, gasps, and Peter always faster, Henry enjoys the sensation, eyes closed, her face trembling. Everything seemed to be accelerating, which will be published in sperm Peter Dee beats several Dee mighty shout, which was again satisfied. Moments later, Henry put the sperm on the mouth Dee who can not swallow fast enough and had to run down her cheeks. Ron and I stopped masturbating for a moment to give Dee a chance to relax a little. Ron joined watchporn her. Fuck and cum angry quickly pump more semen inside her. When he retired, began to pour from her that turns me on much. So I'm running again soon masturbate my semen splashed on the floor. Time for a break. Dee was there and seemed very happy and radiant. After resting a little shit back for over an hour. Dee looking over everyone happyTime. Whenever I was tired, I smiled. Obviously he liked it. rang. Peter went up and came within a few minutes with four guys. ' Here,' pointing to Dee. 'What is that? ' Dee asked. ' Well, I wanted to be fucked, this is your opportunity,' said Peter. 'But it was accepted. ' 'Good' and after that, despite the protests of the new Dee and my children just released his erection and began to fuck her without even talking to her. Dee looked at me, while this was happening. In the first type of fear, but after a while, obviously, they began to enjoy the unexpected attention and brought watchporn moans and groans and screams while cumming. After enough new people (I had two watchporn laps each), left without saying goodbye. We have exhausted all N. Dee had completely disappeared and could barely stand, but he said he had enjoyed, even unexpected guests. We were promised copies of the video and wenthis house. Next week we have. Since then, sex while being fucked peer meetings with Dee. Sometimes meetings become gang explosions, like Dee loves attention and always happy.

LRDG seminar: 'You want to know about literacy? Then look, listen, and think about something else' : Alternative approaches, (in)appropriate methods and unexpected outcomes in ethnographic research. Anita Wilson, Lancaster UniversityDate: 13 November 2007 Time: 1.00 - 2.00 pm In a recent AHRC-funded project, the remit was to investigate the way that young prisoners 'made their mark' on prison space. Using the broad conceptualisation of 'literacies' as a lens, it became very apparent that 'reading' often involved the interpretation of texts in the widest sense, such as in the visual analysis of bodily marks and postures. 'Writing' was often about technology, such as when toothpaste or shower gel was used to inscribe an air of freshness onto a prison cell. These often highly-personalised practices were subsequently interlinked with a set of photographic images which themselves became a new set of texts, ripe for (re)interpretation and reflection. The combination of close ethnography, a broad view of literacies, and a retrospective analysis of the photographs, opens up fresh insights into the sensory complexities of communicative practice and reveals additional layers of meaning as to what might count as text.

Rafting on Pacuare river in Costa Rica
On the 3rd May 2012 I decided to try rafting for the first time in my life. To say that I was a bit scared is true. Not that I am scared of water, I love it (as you can see at my photos) but I do not like waves – bad experiences. But anyway, knowing your fears and still overcoming them is what makes you feel better.
I chose Exploradores Outdoors as I have heard they are the best agency for rafting in Costa Rica. They picked me up at 6.10 am in Totem Hotel Beach Resort in Puerto Viejo where I was staying. Then together with the other passengers we continued to their Exploration Center in Siquires. During 1,5 hour in the car, Miguel, our guide, explained us a lot about what we were going to do during the tour, told us about Costa Rica and its production (bananas, coffee, pineapple, chocolate) and we learned about the geography of Costa Rica and its 3 mountain ranges, volcanoes and rivers. It was all important to understand better where we were I am always glad to hear new information, especially when it is said in a funny and nice way, thanks Miguel!
Then I took a quick nap and woke up when we got to the center. We had a huge breakfast there which consisted of scrambled eggs, rice, beans, fruit, cereals, coffee and tea.
Meantime, another 2 groups of people came, one from San Jose and the other one from Arenal volcano La Fortuna. Exploradores Outdoors are the first travel agency I have ever seen that does this: they pick up the tourists from 3 different places (Caribbean beaches, San Jose and La Fortuna), they do rafting (or one of the other tours they offer, such as Tortuguero Expedition) and after the tour they take the passengers to any of the three directions again. It doesn't have to be the same where they picked you up, so after the tour you can straight away continue your trip to a different place and it is included in the price. This is a huge plus to the agency!
When we were all ready, we put on the swim suit, clothes, shoes that won't fall down, took the sunscreen, water and cameras and left the rest of our stuff in the lockers. The car took us another 30 minutes to the top of the river where we embarked. While driving, Miguel explained us all the important information about rafting – the main commands, such as forward, backward, left back, right back etc, how not to fall down from the raft, what to do in case you do fall down, how to help someone to get back to the raft etc.
Then we divided into 2 groups as it was only 9 of us. So me and another 3 girls were together with our guide Esteban, the other 5 people (a family of three, Christopher – a Canadian guy and a another guy) with another guide. There was a photographer on a canoe and Miguel on another canoe taking care of us in case something happened.
We got to the rafts, put on the sunscreen (not on the back of the legs nor ass so we didn't fall out of the raft, nor forehead so the helmet didn't move), the life jackets, helmets and took a paddle. Everyone jumped on the raft and Esteban showed us all the commands and everything that Miguel explained us in the car so we knew how it worked in practice.
And the fun started! We did rafting in the best river in Costa Rica – PACUARE river which according to National Geographic is one of top 10 rafting rivers in the world. Yeah, the first rafting ever and already on one of the top world rivers? Of course I was a bit scared. But the fear left me after the first 5 rapids I think and I started loving it. It was the biggest fun I had in the last couple of weeks! 38 rapids of class III and IV (the maximum is the class VI) along 30 km (18 miles), yes, that took us almost 4 hours altogether.
I think we were a good team. We were laughing, enjoying every single second and screaming during every rapid, especially when we had to go down and sit in the raft. We were living the moment. And Esteban, our guide, was such a cutie! Such a charming, smiling and nice guy. I think we all fell in love with him, even though he was much younger than all 4 of us
While rafting we saw a couple of tall waterfalls, butterflies flying around and crossed 2 canyons. Rio Pacuare is magical. The nature around will take your breathe away. When you don't paddle, take time to enjoy it!
After almost 3 hours we stopped, got out of the rafts and the guides prepared us lunch. I was surprised how delicious it was! We got tortillas, beans, different kinds of vegetables, pineapple, nuts, and much more. So yummy! Deserved big lunch after losing so much energy in the water. In a tree we saw there this cute female bird.
After the lunch, we continued rafting for another hour. We swapped the sides and the first minutes it was very weird to get used to paddle with different arms. We survived some more rapids without falling down. Woo hoo! Then the rain came and we jumped into the water to enjoy it more! We all loved it! Very fast the end of our rafting came. Such a shame! I think that day I found a new sport I like!
We actually ended up in the Exploration Center again just next to Pacuare river, took showers, changed into dry clothes and picked up our bags. Guys enjoyed a beer. We could buy souvenirs, such as CDs with photos from the rafting or T-shirts. Then we said sad goodbye to our guides, everyone sat in the van heading off to one of the three directions around Costa Rica I already mentioned and took a nap in the van on the way there. I am sure that me, Justine, Ashley and Alaine, all 4 girls that spent half day with Esteban, left thinking of his cute smile and eyes!
I am really glad I did rafting with Exploradores Outdoors. It turned out that all the guides and the services the agency offers were amazing (they all speak perfect English) and I fell in love not only with our guide, but also with rafting itself. I can't wait to do it again!
- bring sunscreen
- bottled water
- shorts
- T-shirt not from cotton
- sandals or shoes for water that won't drop off

Alex! Looks like so much fun! I'm heading there next week …eek! I'm excited but a little scared – my swimming skills are not very strong. Did you find the rapids too hard to stay out of the water?!
Comment@ Aleah | SolitaryWanderer.com:
That's a shame you didn't have your camera with you! I am glad I bought waterproof camera Yeah, hopefully I will pay another visit to the Philippines and see you there … or anywhere else in the world -
Sounds like you had a lot of fun! I've only gone rafting in Padas in Sabah. Unlike you, I didn't bring my camera, so I have no pictures of that trip *sad* Anyway, safe travels. Hope that I can meet you when you come back to the Philippines!

She studied with Fritz Pauer, the great composer and pianist from Vienna. At the same time she received her Swiss University Diploma in Sports and Pedagogy from the University of Bern.

WVUM Has This Free Car They Want To Give You
Categories: Flotsam
via Multitrack's Flickr |
Full disclosure: Working at WVUM is pretty much the only thing that made me stay at UM for four years, and this whole give away started when someone emailed me in my little music director's office (a converted closet) and said "Would you like to give away a car?" and I said "You betch'a." And then I graduated and left all the details to the new staff.
The car in question is a brand new Toyota Yaris. Sure, it's no Phantom Corsair, but beggars can't be choosers. This give away is part of the "Free Yr Radio" promotion put on by Toyota and Urban Outfitters. The same friendly people that brought you that free Walkmen concert on South Beach earlier this year. This nice benefit compilation is also available for purchase.
You have until March 15th to go to their website and enter the drawing. Good luck.

China now officially has the second tallest building in the world, tallest of all to follow in 2014
Posted By Enrique Manalang On August 9, 2013 @ 5:56 AM In General Tech | No Comments
After four years since the beginning of its construction, China's Shanghai Tower recently held a topping out ceremony. This means that the last beam on the building has been placed, or its overall structure has been completed.
Upon its completion in 2014, it will stand 2,073 feet tall, have 128 floors and a total floor area of 4,090,000 square feet. As of the building's topping out ceremony, it has surpassed China's previous tallest structure (the 2,000-foot Canton Tower) and is now the second tallest building in the world to Dubai's Burj Khalifa.
In 2014, however, both will be surpassed by another building rising in China. Changsha's Sky City will stand 2,749 feet tall when it's completed, and it will then become the tallest building in the world. Oh, and it might only take 90 days to construct too [2].
In the mean time, have a look at some amazing photos of China's current tallest building, the Shanghai Tower:

I have mentioned before that breakfast is for me the most important, and often the biggest, meal of the day. I usually get up at 5:30 am to go to the gym and by the time I get back I am ready to eat a horse. But sometimes, on my days off from my workout routine, I just want to have a light, healthy, sweet breakfast. That's when I return to the basics. Back home in Mexico, the days always started with a big bowl of fruit salad, homemade yogurt and café con leche. After that we would have eggs, sopes, quesadillas, gorditas de piloncillo or any other of my mom's delicious culinary creations. Yes, our breakfast were always BIG.
This is a typical fruit salad for me. I always try to add fruit that is in season and local, although I can't live wihout the tropical fruit I grew up with. In this shot I am missing papaya (I haven't gone to the Mexican market in a couple of weeks, and the papayas at Kroger's are too expensive and too small) and bananas (they weren't ripe yet). The perfect addition to the plate, I think, was the berries, in terms of taste and composition. Aren't those strawberries beautiful? I just wish the season lasted longer. There's nothing better than fresh, local strawberries (only mangoes right off the tree are better), right?
This fruit salad is also going to the Food Photographers Club second assignment. You might think I am going crazy with these salads, but I really want to improve my food styling skills and the way I look at food through the lens of my camera. These assignments are a great way to do it. So join in and give us your opinion, suggestions and ideas about our shots. Hope to see you there!
¡Buen provecho!

I love starting my day with fruits too! The right kind of fuel for my body!
This platter looks lovely Ben, I could devour the entire thing! -
great shots. good work! I am sure it tasted like it looks.
Can you come make breakfast for me?
That type of breakfast is always a hit for me when I'm on the road.
Who wouldn't love breakfasts like this, Ben? The picture is lovely. I keep wanting to join in the forums but have been a bit busy. Maybe this month or the next, perhaps.
That salad would certainly make a nice light breakfast!

For the luxury footwear pack, there's no place like Paris Fashion Week.
Christian Louboutin painted the town red, making the rounds at several of the week's hottest events, including Kate Moss' jewelry launch for Fred, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's handbag party for The Row, L'Officiel's 90th anniversary and a French Vogue dinner, where he caught up with British designer Charlotte Olympia Dellal.
"Sat next to Louboutin at 'French Vogue' dinner and discussed rugby, naturally," Dellal quipped in a tweet.
A few days later, she showed off her 1950s Miami Beach-inspired collection and talked about the recent arrival of her second son. Will she venture into children's shoes? "Not yet, but I will the second I have a girl!"
Fellow Brit Nicholas Kirkwood gave birth to a handful of collections this season, including the well-received Pollini line and footwear for Paco Rabanne, which relaunched on the Paris runway. Kirkwood, always the perfectionist, was making final adjustments on the shoes at his show space in the Marais district in between appointments for his own collection. "The heels were inspired by a sculpture by Anish Kapoor," the designer said of the Paco Rabanne looks.
Roger Vivier's Bruno Frisoni got inspired this season by a coffee-table book on African masks. The designer also went back to his roots, experimenting with denim on pointy-toe flats and espadrille wedges. "The first Bruno Frisoni collection I ever made was denim," he recalled. "It was perfect for this season because we were missing a casual."
Pierre Hardy has been all about casual living in his personal life, with trips around the world this summer to Italy, St. Barts and Cape Cod — "I love the Americana style in Cape Cod," he said — but for his spring '12 line, the designer took an assertive stance with dripping liquid and graphic designs in metal. He also introduced men's trainers and created a comic book-inspired high-top, complete with a "Pow!" applique as a tribute to the late-pop artist Roy Lichtenstein.
Sergio Rossi's creative director, Francesco Russo, has also been paying homage — to friend and collaborator Carine Roitfeld, for whom he recently designed a one-of-a-kind shoe."I was just talking about you!" Russo exclaimed, when he bumped into the former French Vogue editor at the Ritz during an interview with Spy. "Good girl," he told her, pointing down at Roitfeld's Sergio Rossi ankle-strap sandals in green snakeskin.
Roitfeld certainly knows how to make a statement, as does designer Tabitha Simmons, who presented her newest collection at the Rue Rivoli apartment where Woody Allen filmed "Midnight in Paris."
The designer and stylist — who flew home to New York between Milan and Paris for a quick visit with her children — said she had several favorites in her collection this season, including her "piñata shoes" (Mexican-inspired high-heeled sandals with raffia fringe), as well as ankle boots and sandals featuring embroidered silk hand-woven in England. "It's my version of a modern Liberty print," she said. "I like to support small family businesses whenever I can."
And Burak Uyan wasn't taking any chances with his spring collection. Inspired by butterflies, he bought several preserved Indonesian butterflies and sent them to his factory to get the blue-green color palette just right.
Dancing Shoes
Everybody cut loose. The HSN team put their dancing shoes on for the Los Angeles premiere of "Footloose" last week, where the crowd was singing and dancing in the aisles, said Bill Brand HSN's EVP of programming, marketing and business development. "I had to keep Mindy [Grossman] down, believe it or not," joked Brand about the company CEO, who also was joined by Andrew Sheldon, EVP of television and executive creative director. The team mingled with the stars in preparation for the network's 24-hour "Footloose" event on Wednesday, now being promoted in a special magazine from HSN, Paramount Pictures and Footwear News. Actress Julianne Hough (playing Ariel Moore) wore nude Ruthie Davis pumps to the premiere and Kenny Wormald (starring as Ren McCormack) chose John Varvatos shoes for the big night. "The 'Footloose' cast is so young and excited that the energy carried throughout the whole night," said Brand. "In the economic climate we all deal with, its nice to have a movie that's just fun." The HSN on-air and online event will feature footwear, accessories, denim and beauty items from 13 brands that were inspired by the movie.
Stop Watch
Jessica Szohr has more to gossip about. The former "Gossip Girl" star — and face of Kohl's new boot brand Aqua Stop — is currently in London filming the upcoming flick "Love Bite." "It's kind of like a love story [with] a werewolf story, too," she said. But even with a bustling film career, don't count her out of the TV world. While Szohr's GG character Vanessa Abrams parted ways with her New York cohorts last season, she said you never know what the future holds. "The door has been left open, so you could see her [character] — or maybe not," she hinted. And Szohr hasn't put her love for fashion on hold either, which she said made the Aqua Stop gig a good fit. "[Being] from Wisconsin, I know how hard that can be [to look fashionable in bad weather]," she said. "You still want to feel comfortable and sexy, and shoes can make or break the outfit."
Piano Man
Patrick Cox is hitting the stage. After working with Geox on a spring '12 capsule collection, the designer teamed up with the brand yet again to create flashy footwear for Elton John's Vegas show, "The Million Dollar Piano." A longtime friend of the iconic musician, Cox made a classic brogue with Geox's breathable leather sole in 14 hues. "Literally name any metallic color and we've done it. He's an artist, he wants choices," said Cox, noting the soles were dyed at an auto body shop to ensure they were completely stained. Cox and John met in the mid-1990s through London tailor Richard James (who is also the show's costume designer) and have worked together on custom shoes ever since.

Dear Campagnolo,
Do you mind if I call you Campy? Everyone else does, so I figured it would be ok. You have to realize that when we say that, it's not a put-down of any kind. It's just easier for Americans to say. Some Brits say Campag, which I suspect is said in much the same way – just easier on the tongue. Besides, saying Campagnolo in casual conversation is generally regarded as effete here in the US of A.
I digress. Let me come to the point. I love your stuff, really, I do. I started out riding Shimano for the first few years I was a road rider, mainly because it was what was available and worked well. I liked my time on Shimano, but when I started riding Campy a few years later it was like a religious experience. It totally redefined my expectations of my equipment and my level or riding enjoyment. I started on a Chorus 10 speed group that, over the subsequent few years, I probably rode about 10,000 miles. Since then I've invested in a few more 10 speed groups and, more recently, a couple of your 11 speed drivetrains. Again, all great stuff – no regrets.
I just got an email from you with this PDF presentation about your 2011 products and as expected, they look great. It doesn't look like you're doing tremendous changes for '11 but the ones you are doing are really cool. The threaded chainring? Brilliant idea.
And the colored hoods and cable sets… you're a little late to this party, but we sure are glad you came.
So, here's the thing, Campy. I feel like our relationship is a bit shallow. I need more from you. You see, a couple years ago SRAM entered my life and everything changed. They used to be the punk kid on the block, making grip shifters and unique if second-rate mountain bike parts. But they grew up, got their act together, improved their products to the point where they're the new benchmark and they introduced some road gruppos – four awesome road gruppos in as many years to be specific. They're killing it right now and they totally deserve all their success because their products are really, really good.
But that's just half the story. You see, Campy, in addition to making some tremendously good products, SRAM, as a company, has a great personality. They're engaging, involved, enthusiastic, articulate, smart and hungry for the business. They move me. Whereas you, Campy… you are, well, a bit snobby; a tad aloof.
I know if feels like all I'm doing is comparing you to SRAM, but that's not really the case. SRAM just brings my feelings about you into stark relief. Rather than get jealous, or simply ignore what I'm saying, I think you could use this as a learning experience. It's clear you're not totally opposed to change, after all you're bold enough to do things like 11 speed drivetrains, and embrace fringe technologies like tubeless road, so I know you have the capability to do things differently than you are now.
I think it would be in your best interest to look inward and address the following issues:
1) Get control of your distribution. The fact that your European retailers can sell your products for what in many cases is less than US wholesale prices is absolutely killing your sales in the US. Get control of yourself. I know it's good for your cash-flow to be selling stuff right out your back door for cheap to those Euro online retailers, but I promise, it's not benefiting your long-term bottom line and it certainly doesn't do anything to improve the impression of you product stateside. If retailers can't make any money selling your goods, then why should they even bother to try?
2) Get involved with domestic racing. I know I keep bringing up SRAM, but I can't help it… They're just nailing it and right now they own the amateur racing scene. Why? Because, as I've said, they make great products, but more importantly they're making these products widely available to race teams. They've been aggressive about getting as many racers as possible on their good while still helping their retailers maintain a profit margin. They did this so well for the first few years of their road business that now they have an unstoppable momentum – they're the go-to brand of choice for most regional racers. Don't dismiss this market – they're the ones who log the miles, show up to local races and group rides, post pictures of their bikes on blog and online fora. They're the young riders who will someday stop racing bikes and getting discounted parts and become full fledged, full price consumers. Get them now; plant the seed. Sponsor some regional Pro/AM race teams, support local races, get your logo on some jerseys and most importantly, your parts on some bikes belonging to young, fast people.
3) Do some marketing. You already do this, but it's a little hurting. Your marketing efforts require more than a little tweaking, especially for the US market. In your attempt to be classy, your advertisements come across as stiff, stuffy and somewhat pointless.
Ditch the retro angle. Maybe it works in Europe but it doesn't work here. None of your would-be customers cares about the history. They just want cool shit and they want it now. Get gritty and edgy with your ads. Pro Tour stuff is great, but make it real and tangible to your audience. This stuff is just antiseptic dross that neither conveys nor inspires passion. And, for the love of God, make sure you run your copy through someone who's fluent in both English and Italian…
So, Campy, I hope you're ok with me saying all this and I hope you realize my criticism comes out of love and concern for your well-being in the long-run. Your product is phenomenal. People love you -they get your logo tattooed on them! I just want our relationship to be built on more than that – I want you to engage me and continually make me want it. And I want you to reach others and make them want it. I'm happy to help you do this, if you're willing…

Premier Business Bank Reports Six Consecutive Quarters of Positive Earnings
Premier Business Bank ("Bank") is pleased to announce a record breaking six consecutive quarters of positive earnings. The Bank reported net income of $170,000 or $0.08 per share and $188,000 or $0.09 per share for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2011, and September 30, 2010, respectively. Net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 was $381,000 or $0.19 per share as compared to $486,000 or $0.24 for the same period ended September 30, 2010.
The Bank continues to be profitable. During the 3rd Quarter of 2011, the Bank recovered a $250,000 loan loss recovery and reversed $100,000 of it allowance for loan losses. The 2010 results shown above included an extraordinary gain on the sale of securities of $186,000. The Bank's operating profits remain stable and the operational infrastructure continues to strengthen resulting in improved operational efficiencies. The asset quality remains strong with no REO or non-performing assets. "The combination of a performing loan portfolio and lower cost of funds has increased the net interest margin. This increase coupled with effectively managing the non-interest expenses (G & A) has allowed the Bank to remain profitable for six consecutive quarters," stated Mr. John R. Polen, President and CEO.
The Bank continues to focus on maintaining excellent credit quality in its loan portfolio. The Bank has not charged-off any loans since 2009; and has an adequate provision for loan losses of $1.9 million, or 2.50% of total loans as of September 30, 2011. "The Bank opened its Torrance-based loan center in March 2011 to expand its business and real estate loan operations into the South Bay region where our experienced management team has strong client relationships to augment overall loan fundings," commented Mr. Polen.
Total assets were $94.0 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $92.3 million at September 30, 2010, an increase of $1.7 million. Total loans, net were $74.8 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $78.8 million for the same period in 2010, a decrease of $4.0 million.
Total deposits were $78.4 million as of September 30, 2011 compared to $77.1 million as of September 30, 2010, reflecting an increase in total deposits of $1.3 million.
The Bank's consistent operating profits for the past six quarters have contributed to its strong capital position. At September 30, 2011, the Bank had $12.3 million in shareholders' equity or a book value of $6.07 per share. The Bank's captal ratios far exceed the applicable regulatory capital requirements to be considered "well-capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. Total-Risk Based Capital ratio was 17.82%, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio was 16.55%, and Tier 1 Leverage Ratio was 13.73% as of September 30, 2011.
Premier Business Bank has a strong Los Angeles based business development team that effectively manages its current client relationships and develops new business. This year the focus continues on further developing the management and business development team to strengthen the banking platform for growth.
In October 2011, the Bank hired Debbie Richardson as Senior Vice President Corporate Development to expand the Bank's presence in South Bay area. Ms. Richardson has over thirty years experience in managing retail banking operations, marketing and community relations in the South Bay. Most recently, she was Chief Operating Officer of The Bank of Palos Verdes (I.O.). Prior to that, Ms. Richardson served as Executive Vice President, Director of Retail Banking of Malaga Bank for 21 years where she was instrumental in opening branches and expanding their presence within the community it serves.
"Now that the Premier Business Bank has a stable platform of experienced management, consistent earnings, and quality assets, the goal is to advance to the next level through a strategic growth plan. This plan would include growing the Bank's assets, continuing to generate consistent earnings, and further developing a loyal client base," stated Mr. Polen.
Premier Business Bank opened for business in July 2006. It is a full-service, high-tech business bank headquartered in downtown Los Angeles, California, and has a Loan Center in Torrance, California to serve the South Bay region. The Bank has a client centric service philosophy focused on banking relationships with small to mid-size businesses, family-owned and closely-held middle market businesses, real estate investors, professional management firms, and entrepreneurs.

Concierge.com's insider take:
There are only 57 rooms in this luxury boutique hotel in a skyscraper overlooking Ginza and Tokyo Station, each with floor-to-ceiling windows. There's nothing particularly Japanese about the decor, except for the stunning city views that serve as an ever-present backdrop. Ask for a room on the station sideon the highest floor possiblefor a vertiginous view of Japan's famed bullet trains. The spa takes advantage of local culture with a stone bath and treatment rooms for Japanese scrubs and massage. The hotel also houses Ekki Bar & Grill, a contemporary American restaurant. The location's not bad, either: Marunouchi used to be strictly a business district, but in the last five years it has been transformed into a chic shopping and restaurant area.

IN the Summer of 1901 Ambrose Vollard, the dealer of Cezanne and Gauguin, put on a Picasso exhibition. There were prostitutes and society ladies, portraits and landscapes, interiors and street scenes. The exhibition was a success, but even more significant for Picasso's life, it led to his meeting the man who for the next few years would fulfill two of his three most constant and urgent needs. Max Jacob would become his caretaker and his worshipper. As for Picasso's third need, for constantly and effortlessly available sex, he would no doubt have been eager to meet that too, if only Picasso had been willing. Max Jacob went to see the Vollard show and soon after, struck by Picasso's "fire" and "real brilliance," arrived at the boulevard de Clichy, where Picasso was living, to pay his respects to the young master.
Jacob was twenty-five years old when he met Picasso. He had come to Paris from Brittany three years earlier, determined to become an "artist"—a poet and a painter. "Stick to poetry" was Picasso's advice, and to a very large extent Jacob took it. He called Picasso "my little boy" but listened carefully to what the little boy had to say. This short, prematurely balding intellectual, who wore a monocle with the sensuality of a woman wearing a garter belt, had already gained considerable influence in the demimonde of poets and painters which he had made his home. He would launch some and help the careers of others already launched, but none would he love as deeply and as unconditionally as he loved Picasso.
THE summer of 1901 was a demonically creative one for Picasso. The art critic Francois Charles cautioned him "for his own good no longer to do a painting a day," but Paris had unleashed a surge of experimentation in him. It was a summer of reveling in the city, of celebrating his freedom from Spanish conventional morality, of flower still-lifes, cancan dancers, the races, pretty children, and fashionable ladies. Yet a noticeable change was beginning to take place in both his mood and his work. "I have tried to express the terrible passions of humanity by means of red and green," Van Gogh wrote in 1888, and in 1901 Picasso, spurred by his inner turmoil, switched his focus to the solitude and pain of humanity and tried to express them by means of blue. So began the procession of beggars, lonely harlequins, tormented mothers, the sick, the hungry, and the lame. And in their midst was Picasso himself, his own suffering on display in a blue self-portrait.
In January of 1902 he returned for a time to Barcelona, where the sometimes despairing, sometimes bitterly tender expressionism of the Blue Period became still more intense. The destitute women of Paris appeared in their Barcelona incarnation utterly crushed by life and a hostile world. In Two Sisters, his painting of a whore and a nun, Picasso expressed for all time his starkly divided vision of women as madonnas or whores. And in his life, having idealized his mother to the point where he could not even bear to talk to the real, imperfect Dona Maria, he spent his time watching, sleeping with, and painting women who in his mind occupied the space reserved for whores. Two of the smaller nude drawings he would keep for his Private collection. On one of them he had written, "Cuando tengas ganas de joder, jode"—"When you are in the mood to screw, screw." In his struggle to define himself as a man, lust seemed the most appropriate emotion toward women.
IN October Picasso returned to Paris. All his hopes were now pinned on a new show organized by Berthe Weill. The other artists in the show were Lauriay, Pichot, and Girieud, and the catalogue praised Picasso's "indefatigable ardor to see and show everything" and the "wild light" that permeated his work. But nothing was sold, and Picasso's mood became even more nihilistic.
His despair was there for all to see in his work. Charles Morice focused on it in an essay he wrote for the Mercure de France while the Weill show was still on.
It is extraordinary, this sterile sadness which weighs down the entire work of this very young man. His works are already numberless.... He seems a young god trying to remake the world. But a dark god. Most of the faces he paints grimace; not a smile. His world is no more habitable than lepers' houses. And his painting itself is sick. Is this frighteningly precocious child not fated to bestow the consecration of a masterpiece on the negative sense of living, the illness from which he more than anyone else seems to be suffering?
It was an extraordinarily powerful piece, and it shook Picasso. He wanted to meet Morice, as if the man who had so accurately diagnosed his state of mind might also be able to provide a cure. Morice, a good friend of Paul Gauguin's, introduced him to Noa Noa, Gauguin's autobiographical poem. Picasso's deep-rooted pessimism was pitted against Gauguin's primitive, questing optimism. "Where are we coming from? Who are we? Where are we going?" Gauguin asked, and although Picasso never formulated those questions in words, they were all there in his work and in the restlessness of his life.
BLUE was still dominant on his canvases, but a rose glow began to creep in, anticipating a major change in his life. In the afternoon of August 4, 1904, in the middle of an unexpected thunderstorm, he was on his way to his studio, carrying a little kitten he had rescued from the storm, when a beautiful, statuesque woman rushed into the Bateau-Lavoir, drenched to the skin. He blocked her path and thrust the kitten into her arms—an offering and an introduction. He laughed and she laughed with him, and he took her to see his studio. Her name was Fernande Olivier. In a nude autobiographical drawing dated August, 1904, they have just made love and he is still stretched on top of her, his feet barely touching hers, her almond eyes closed, her wavy hair dark and rich. He commemorated the occasion as if he knew immediately that this was not just another sexual encounter. It was, in fact, the beginning of his first real relationship, the first time in his life he committed himself to a woman—not "till death do us part" but at least until the attachment stopped being passionate, inspiring, or convenient.
Fernande had been born in Paris on June 6, 1881, four months before Picasso was born in Malaga. At seventeen she had become involved with a shop clerk, Paul-Emile Percheron, and had a son by him. When the child was five months old, Percheron married her, but soon after, both father and son disappeared without a trace, and Fernande married the sculptor Gaston de Labaume. In Fernande's inventive reshaping of her life she had never had a child or a shop-clerk husband. Instead, at seventeen she had had, as she described it, "an extremely unhappy try at marriage," which left her at twenty-two, again in her own words, "already a little disillusioned with life," living alone at the Bateau-Lavoir, as Madame de Labaume.
"For good or for bad," Gertrude Stein would say, "everything was natural in Fernande." She was naturally beautiful, naturally intelligent, naturally creative, and naturally lazy. She painted and drew, but she preferred to expend her creativity in inventing a life, a past, and a new name for herself. The new name was Olivier, and it was as Fernande Olivier that she entered Picasso's world and became his first official mistress and his door to manhood. "There was nothing especially attractive about him at first sight," she wrote years later about meeting Picasso, "though his oddly insistent expression compelled one's attention. It would have been practically impossible to place him socially, but his radiance, an inner fire one sensed in him, gave him a sort of magnetism which I was unable to resist. "
For him, there was a sense of recognition and inevitability. And it was exhilarating to have such a beautiful, worldly woman beside him. He loved the way she looked and the way she dressed and wore her floppy hats with such instinctive grace. But there was also fear and anxiety, prompted by the challenge of adult sexuality and the prospect of a real relationship. In the fall of 1904 Fernande moved in with him. Yet his fears persisted. In Woman Sleeping he painted himself sitting by the bed, lost in anxious thoughts and imaginings, while Fernande lies blissfully asleep. She had surrendered, while he was still troubled by this dramatic change in his life.
Having overcome his anxiety about her living with him, he was now equally anxious that she be with him all the time. He asked nothing from Fernande but to exist as part of his life. He didn't care if she cooked, he didn't expect her to keep their place clean or even to sweep the floor, and he positively forbade her to do the shopping, his jealousy creating nightmarish visions of her being propositioned on the streets of Montmartre and succumbing to other men's advances. His needs perfectly matched her disposition. "Out of a sort of morbid jealousy," she wrote, "[Picasso] forced me to live like a recluse. But with some tea, books, a couch, not much housework to do, I was very, very happy.... I was, I admit, extremely lazy." Her youthful indolence and her unbridled sensuality were the cornerstones of their relationship. She offered Picasso passionate and abandoned sex, at any time that suited the unpredictable rhythm of his work and his equally unpredictable moods. By regularizing his sex life she brought stability to his whole existence. In fact, she brought more than that. Her equanimity balanced his anxiety, and her healthy optimism was an antidote to his depressions—not a potent enough antidote, however, as she herself observed. "This rather sad, sarcastic man, who was sometimes a bit of a hypochondriac, found no consolation but only forgetfulness in his work and in the love of his work, for he always seemed to bear a great grief within him."
With Fernande, Picasso was becoming a man, no longer the adolescent who searched for women in whorehouses and thought only of himself. Fernande's value to him was there for all to see in the metamorphosis that his work underwent. Rose became the dominant color, and circus performers and saltimbanques replaced the derelicts of the blue worlds He still portrayed outsiders, but there was more tenderness and more empathy in this world of the circus. Charles Morice wrote another piece in March of 1905, in which he saluted Picasso's new maturity and his deepened sensibility relative to his earlier work, when "he seemed to take delight in sadness without sympathizing with it."

McLean, Va., Jan. 18, 2006 —In recognition of the increasingly global nature of the automotive industry, the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) has announced plans to establish an International Affairs Department in the spring. "Our involvement in international activities has grown exponentially over the past few years," NADA Chairman Jack Kain said. Hundreds of dealers from other countries regularly attend NADA's convention each year. NADA is preparing to host its fourth consecutive International Roundtable at its upcoming convention in Orlando next month. NADA also is receiving an ever-increasing number of invitations to speak at international automotive meetings around the world. More and more U.S. automotive retailing policies are being influenced by decisions made overseas. The U.S. leadership of the auto manufacturers is increasingly being drawn from those with extensive international experience.
The new department will provide analysis and serve as an information resource for NADA by monitoring and tracking international developments affecting the auto industry.
By centralizing the coordination of a wide array of international efforts, NADA says it will be in a much stronger position to address the needs of new car dealers in the U.S.
"We represent new car dealers in the U.S., big and small, domestic and international, and to do that most effectively, the time has come to approach international automotive affairs in a much more systematic manner," NADA President Phil Brady said. "Now, all of NADA's international initiatives will be brought together under one office."
The National Automobile Dealers Association, founded in 1917 and based in McLean, Va., represents approximately 20,000 new car and truck dealers holding nearly 43,000 separate franchises, domestic and international.

Uggh. That pretty much sums up my life. Or my lack of one. I have realized that the reason I don't hang out with people much out of school isn't that I lack the social skills to do so, but that I just don't want to. I get overwhelmed by over-socialization e.g. not getting home until 9:30 and having to talk to other people the entire fucking time. Also, I went to the Music Man auditions. It was.... Interesting. We had to sing a solo song, learn a dance, learn a song, and do a cold reading. It took 4 1/2 hours. It was after college awareness day, which ended at 12:15. We got a 45 minute lunch break (in which I sat on a bench with some other people twiddling my thumbs). The we went inside the theater and were talked at for a while. I was okay, not exceptional. At least I wasn't as horrible as some other people there. They posted the callbacks, and I didn't get it. The only freshman who got called back was the choir teacher's daughter. Well, there are a lot of people who didn't get called back but will get a part as a townsperson or something. I don't really care.
I felt something weird last night. I was writing in my journal thing for English, and I wrote about how all of my Halloween costumes were always male. I was Superman, Zorro, Captain Hook, a lion, and some sort of blue Pokemon. When I was little, one of my goals was to be a gay man. I don't know why, I just did. I know I definitely don't want to be a guy, but I hate being a girl. I'm just not either..... Kinda. The idea is really strange to me right now, and I'm probably going to regret ever saying it, but when I pulled my hair back and put on that button-up shirt, it just felt right. Al of today, I was thinking about why people conform to the ideas of gender that society has placed upon them. I never really did, except in the 6th and 7th grades, when I tried and failed miserably. Last night, looking at my reflection in the mirror, I sang myself a show-like tune. It was how I hated being Jessica and I didn't want to be Jason, but JT was okay. JT wasn't a name or a title, just who I was. It was kind of cool. I'm just really confused right now, because nothing seems right and everything seems foreign.
Welcome to the world of the genderfucked, JT. Harder when you like your own name, and it's girly, but it's yours, and you don't have any genderneutral nicknames that you like.
All they can tell you is what they have seen and heard, in their time in this world, a third of it spent in sleep and dreaming, another third of it spent in telling lies. - Ursala K. Le Guin

Hunter - Tracker - Gunsmith I purchased a puppy from philip saava last august. Prior to driving 1700 miles to pick up my puppy I had numerous conversations with him about the litters he was expecting and his dogs in general. I have owned and rsearched airedales for over 30 years. I have talked to alot of breeders and looked at alot of dogs. I chose to get a dog from Phil based on his ohnesty, references,knowledge of the breed and of course bloodlines. I was very satisfied in my dealings with him. Real straight shooter. Great dogs. Smartest pup (7TH) I have ever worked with. My dogs are used for hunting and protection work. So I only deal with breeders whom i can trust to (tell it like it relly is)Thanks Phil, for a great dog.

Christa is getting smooched!
Phil got his first Airedale at twenty years old in 1971. Now at 60 he is active with multiple Airedales in performance competitions. Having to walk the dog in NYC Phil started this first Airedale Henry Burlingame the Third on a book of old style training. Later in 1996 he would find out it was the exact work one would do to obtain an AKC Performance Title referred to as a CD or Companion Dog Title. Entering Ladies Club Dog Show, never having competed, Phil & Jett (Airedale) took 3rd of thirty-six dogs entered in the CD Class! Phil got hooked on this sport right there!
