In the first two 'Going Mobile' posts we explored how cross-device matching works and how ads are targeted and delivered to those users. In this long overdue post, we'll go from the theoretical to the practical and go through some best practices for getting the most from your cross-device retargeting campaigns.
This is the basic step that should kick off any marketing campaign. Determine what you want to accomplish. Cross-device retargeting can help you accomplish four general goals:
Creating actionable audience segments is necessary for any retargeting campaign and it's no different when you're retargeting users on their mobile devices. When segmenting your audiences, there's a balance you'll need to strike with your audience segments – smaller audiences can perform well, but are harder to scale; large, generic audiences can be harder to optimize. For cross-device retargeting campaigns, we'd recommend starting with the following audiences:
If you've ever done retargeting, the previous two steps should be pretty familiar already. Step three is where some of the nuances diverge. There are two common mobile ad formats used in-app and across mobile web sites:
Beyond the obvious difference in size, the two ad formats have distinct strengths and weaknesses.
If you want to drive volume, mobile banners are your best bet, as the available inventory vastly outnumbers mobile interstitial inventory. We've typically seen the number of available banner impressions outnumber interstitial impressions by 3-5x. Mobile banners are also significantly cheaper than interstitials. Mobile banner CPMs range from $.50-$2.00+, whereas interstitial CPMs range from $3.00-7.00+. On average, interstitial campaign CPMs are about 3-6x higher than mobile banner CPMs.
Of course, price isn't the only issue. Part of the reason Mobile Interstitial ads cost more is because they enjoy significantly higher engagement rates. On average, interstitial click-through rates (CTRs) are 3-4x higher than banner CTRs. Based on the campaign and creative quality, we've even seen interstitial campaigns with CTRs up to 10x higher than average banner CTRs.
The takeaway here is that, as always, there are trade-offs so it's worthwhile to test different formats to see which best addresses your specific goals. For scenarios where volume is important, or you're budget constrained, try testing mobile banner ads. If you're trying to encourage customer action, then interstitials might be the optimal format.
Provide a clear and simple value proposition; create a sense of urgency and include vivid, strong CTAs
Creative optimization for your mobile campaigns goes beyond just repurposing your desktop banner ads. Mobile ads give you a unique chance to make an impression. The key to driving performance is simplicity and directness. You'll want to ensure your mobile ads offer the following:
I've already beaten the drum pretty soundly on why you should be measuring view-through attribution here. If you're still primarily measuring performance on a last-click model, mobile might be a good opportunity to also try testing a view-through attribution model. Tracking mobile view-throughs can be especially enlightening if your customers are more likely to convert on desktops or if your ad CTAs drive to a desktop-centric action.
Hopefully these recommendations will help you get a head start with your cross-device and mobile retargeting campaigns!
This is a guest post from Sarah Burns, Content and PR Manager at Boost Media.
Managing a display campaign requires a different strategy and set of tactics than managing a search campaign, even if the purpose of both campaigns is to generate new leads. It's important for marketers to note that performance will differ by network, especially in terms of click-through rate and traffic.
While display ads tend to work well for building brand awareness, the quality of traffic and the clicks and conversions tend to be lower than search ads. Historically speaking, search ads are employed to garner clicks, and display ads are best for gaining visibility. Marketers should determine if the search or display network is best for meeting a specific campaign objective and for attracting more potential customers.
So what can you do to optimize your display campaigns for success? Here are three best practices.
For most marketers, this won't come as a surprise: display ads must have a clear and concise CTA. This is especially important in image-based ads because customers may not know what part of the ad is clickable. Bearing this in mind, many marketers often include the CTA in the form of a button to pop from the background image. Keep the CTA brief and direct, for example: "Shop Now," "Buy Now," or "Sign Up." You may also consider testing the button color as well as text to determine what works best in your ad. Help remove the guesswork for your customer by incorporating stronger and clearer CTAs into your display ads.
Testing is just as important in display as in search. The testing options are vast, but start with the elements that can most impact your conversion rate: CTA, messaging, and images. Create three to four ads per ad group and test different messaging and images. Then evaluate which ad performs best with your customers and use these insights to inform your overall strategy. Build on what you've learned from testing by incorporating learnings into your active campaigns.
Placement targeting can bring a new level of control to online marketers in their display campaigns. Third party retargeting tools such as Marin enable marketers to quickly identify high-performing placements to save more money. Accurately valuing display campaigns across the complete path to conversion can maximize your ROI.

How do you measure the impact of influence? More importantly, what's the best way to measure such a fuzzy concept using an analytical approach?
As marketers have been complementing their bread-and-butter search advertising efforts by adding new tactics into the marketing mix, whether it's social media native ads, rich media banners, mobile in-app interstitials, or desktop and mobile video ads, it's increased the spotlight on the sticky issue of attributing conversions properly across different channels. It's especially relevant for the aforementioned tactics, because none of them are particularly well suited for measuring via click-through conversions alone.
There are three powerful reasons for making a proper view-through attribution model a high priority:
1. View-through conversions are a better representation for upper- and middle-funnel performance than click-through conversions. Display ads are renowned for their epically terrible click-through rates. But rather than dismiss the medium as a poor performer, it's important to understand that most display ads are typically served further up the conversion funnel to help move the customer closer towards making a decision. Measuring them on click-through conversions alone is akin to measuring search ads solely on how many customers it drives to the store. It's important to use the right metric for the right situation.
2. Proper view-through attribution can lead to increased search lift. The positive impact of display and social advertising on search activity and conversions is undeniable. It's been proven by a number of different studies over the past several years. Accordingly, if we understand the assistive impact of display and social on search, then it's important to properly measure their impact in order to make the right investment across the different channels. If a $1 spent on a Facebook ad leads to an extra $5 within the search channel, that's something you'd definitely want to know.
3. Measuring view-through conversions improves optimization efforts. What if the very small percentage of people clicking on your display ads didn't represent your very best customers? What if half the clicks on a mobile ad were from people with fat finger syndrome? And what if you optimized all your future spend on trying to acquire all these wrong types of people? Advertisers who optimize based on click-through conversions alone find themselves in this conundrum.
This is just the beginning. While view-through attribution doesn't have to be complex (on the contrary, it's actually quite straightforward to set up properly!), it does require an understanding of its business rationale, as well as some of its limitations. To learn more about view-through attribution, including the two-step process for how you can set them up for maximum success, download the white paper here or sign up for the upcoming webinar.
It's an exciting day at Marin and for advertisers around the globe. Today we finalized our acquisition of Perfect Audience; an innovative San Francisco based retargeting company. We're thrilled to have them join us and enhance our remarketing expertise and bolster our industry-leading search, social and display performance advertising platform.
With the acquisition of Perfect Audience, advertisers not only get powerful programmatic display capabilities across the web, but also direct access to Facebook Exchange (FBX), Google's Doubleclick Ad Exchange, and Twitter. For marketers looking to move away from inefficient point solutions, Marin is the only platform that offers audience-based ad buying across devices and channels.
You know your first party data is your advantage to effectively measure, manage and optimize across channels to win more revenue. Your search data reveals purchase intent. Your social data shows valuable demographic info. Your retargeting offers a trove of behavioral data. Marin's advertisers will be able to easily combine and analyze all three data streams in a single place to better inform and execute smarter audience buying across the vast search, display and social landscapes.
For example, Marin's support of Google RLSA in conjunction with Perfect Audience enables advertisers to use their highly valuable first-party data to not only influence display retargeting but also improve search retargeting. Such a 360-degree approach to audience based retargeting in a single platform is a first for advertisers.
Marketers invest big $ to drive prospects to their websites, but generally less than five percent of this traffic becomes customers. Adding Perfect Audience's retargeting capabilities enables Marin's advertisers to target the 95% of their traffic that doesn't convert, generating more revenue from their online advertising programs.
If you're not familiar with Perfect Audience, we encourage you to check out their powerfully simple platform. In addition to integrating the Perfect Audience platform with Marin, Perfect Audience will also continue to be available as a standalone tool. So, it's business as usual for current Perfect Audience customers.

In my first post in this series, we looked at the 5 biggest don'ts when it comes to contextual keywords. Now let's consider a few things you can do to make your ads a success:
While this is just a starter list of what you should consider when building out your contextual keywords and ad campaigns, it is imperative to understand the differences between the Search network and the Display network. Display advertisers are creating ads and keyword targets to reach specific audiences, while search advertisers are creating ads and keyword targets to reach specific intentions.
What contextual keyword dos or don'ts have you had success with in the past? Share them with us in the comments section below.

Contextual advertising on the Google Display Network (GDN) is often an overlooked strategy to gain additional traffic at a low cost. Although willing to test out campaigns, advertisers have had little success optimizing them due to the vast difference between contextual keyword targeting and paid search keyword targeting. With high expectations for contextual ads, advertisers are often disappointed and shocked when the ads do not perform similarly to paid search campaigns.
In this series, I'll discuss some dos and don'ts when it comes to testing contextual keywords on the GDN. Let's start with some watch-outs:
Now that you know what not to do, join us next week with Part 2 of this series where will discuss what contextual keyword strategies to implement and how to create precise targeting for your campaigns.

Innovation in retargeting technology has increased over the last few years. With new players, the simplification of tools, and an increase in platform integrations, retargeting has become a valuable channel for reacquiring leads and filling in the middle of the marketing funnel. Last week in part one of our two part series, we discussed why testing platforms, setting realistic call-to-actions (CTA), and segmenting visitors are all critical to a successful retargeting program. Today, we'll conclude our discussion by reviewing the importance of refreshing ad creative, integrating geo-targeting strategies, and opting out employees from retargeting campaigns.
Refresh: Update Ad Creative Often
Ads that are used to retarget your visitors tend to follow them around as they surf the web. The constant bombardment of the same or similar ads can not only lead to ad blindness, but can also frustrate your audience. To increase the likelihood that your visitor pool will notice and engage with your retargeting campaign, consider refreshing your ad creative frequently—every week or month depending on your business needs. Consider testing new CTAs, promoting a different piece of collateral, or simply changing the look and feel of your ad creative. The more often you refresh your ads, the more opportunities there are to re-engage your audience.
Relocate: Integrate a Geo-Targeting Strategy
The scope of your business or the engagement of your audience might be isolated to a specific geography—shipping only within the United Kingdom or a contest that only includes Australian residents. If geography is a limitation or plays a significant factor for your business, it's important to understand which retargeting vendors support geo-targeting functionality. Even if your campaigns are performing well, there are still opportunities to remove specific geographies and eliminate unwanted impression and clicks that result in wasted spend and unqualified leads. On the other hand, geo-targeting an emerging market and retargeting visitors to promote additional discover can help grow brand and lead generation efforts in strategic geographies.
Remove: Opt Out Employees
Employees who visit your company's website often times become a bullseye for your retargeting campaigns. While the number of impressions may not make a huge impact on overall campaign performance, they still represent valuable impressions and spend that could've been directed towards a more qualified audience. Most platforms don't really offer a simple solution for addressing this challenge (i.e. IP exclusion). However, you can build a segment, for example visitors to your website's Careers page, and exclude it from your retargeting campaigns. Ask your colleagues to visit the Careers page once and they should be "opted out" of retargeting (depending on cookie settings). This is by far the most efficient and effective solution I've found to date (let me know if you leverage a different strategy).
Retargeting remains a critical marketing channel for reaching and re-engaging your potential customers. As you manage and optimize your retargeting program, keep the six strategies and best practices in mind. They'll help you kick-start your program and optimize campaign performance for long-term success.
"Let's Try This Again…" – Three Strategies for Retargeting Success, Part 1
Retargeting has been a commonplace strategy for online marketers for quite some time. However, many companies, specifically non-retailers, overlook the value of this channel for reacquiring leads and filling in the middle of the marketing funnel. Over the last few years, the landscape for display retargeting has seen a sharp rise in innovation; new players, the simplification of tools, and an increase in platform integrations have made it easier for online marketers to kick-start and expand their retargeting strategies. In part one of this two part series, we'll discuss why testing platforms, setting realistic call-to-actions (CTA), and segmenting visitors are all critical to a successful retargeting program.
Test Multiple Platforms
Don't get complacent. Just because one retargeting campaign is performing well, doesn't mean you should stop exploring other platforms. Many vendors offer very similar tools, however you may be able to amplify your message by reaching a broader audience on placements that your original platform may not have been working with. Due to the relatively low risk and ease of implementation, it doesn't hurt to test additional platforms.
Set Realistic CTAs
With retargeting, especially in the B2B world, you often have one shot to drive a visitor back onto your website. In most cases, assume that you failed the first time in converting a visitor because they weren't interested in what you were trying to sell. For example, I often leverage a demo or trial signup as a CTA in order to gauge if visitors are interested in learning more or trying out our software. If these visitors enter my retargeting pool, I have to assume that the original CTA was too direct the first time and that I didn't provide them with the information needed to continue driving them down the conversion funnel. If it didn't work the first time, it's highly unlikely it'll work now. In these scenarios, I try to push a more top of the funnel CTA like downloading one of our industry thought leadership whitepapers. Visitors get to learn more about Marin Software and our platform, and we get an introduction and second chance to show them our value proposition. It's a win-win.
Segment Visitors
Segment your visitor pool into as many buckets that make sense for your business. The more buckets you create, the more targeted you can be with your remarketing efforts. If you lumped all your visitors into one bucket, you'd miss out on opportunities to pitch different content or products based on what these visitors have indicated they're interested in. Why promote socks when they're looking for shoes? Why pitch a paid search white paper when they're interested in retargeting? Many online retailers do a great job executing this strategy, and B2B companies are tuning in and following suit. By segmenting visitors, you'll also be able to remove certain visitors from your retargeting pool. For example, if someone visited your site looking for a job, remove them from your retargeting list. Over the long run, strategies like this one will help increase cost efficiency and lead to higher click-through rates (CTR).
As you manage and optimize your retargeting program, keep these three strategies and their best practices in mind. Next week, we'll continue our discussion and walk through the best practices for keeping ad creative fresh, leveraging geo-targeting, and opting out employees from retargeting.
Historically, a group's theme—drawn from the keywords within the group—defined how a creative matched to similarly themed webpages across the Google display network (GDN). As a result of this keyword aggregation, cost and conversion metrics were reported on and optimized at the group level. Back in March of this year, Google announced their "biggest enhancement ever" to the display network. Combining the reach of display with the precision of search, Google's Next-Gen Keyword Contextual Targeting enabled advertisers to begin optimizing the performance of their contextually targeted display campaigns at the keyword level.
In a post last year, we explored a few best practices for managing and optimizing campaigns across the GDN—tightening group themes to increase creative relevance, continuously optimizing creative language and excluding poor performing placements. Today, in light of the recent changes to contextual targeting, we'll revisit this discussion and review additional best practices for managing and optimizing campaigns across the GDN.
Breakdown Keyword Performance
The method by which Google attributes keyword-level performance differs between the GDN and Google search. Keep in mind that all keywords are considered broad match on the GDN. From there, the new algorithm selects individual keywords from the group and determines the contextual relevance of each to a given web page. The keyword that is most relevant is attributed with the impression and subsequent click and cost metrics. The contextual relevance of a keyword is determined by how strongly it matches with the web page's text, language, link and page structure, as well as other factors.
Access to keyword-performance data enables search marketers to better optimize their campaigns across the GDN. However, separating search and display campaigns is highly recommended in order to fully leverage this level of granularity. Although keyword performance can be reported on separately, keyword bids (within campaigns targeting search and display) affect both networks. Only with separate campaigns can marketers set separate search and display bids.
Leverage Keyword Insertion
Using dynamic keyword insertion within creative is a quick and effective way to increase relevancy. Inserting {Keyword:default text} into the headline, description line or display URL dynamically populates creative to include the contextually relevant keyword that triggered the creative. However, keep in mind that not all keywords make grammatical sense when inserted. Simple keyword variations can result in an awkward-sounding creative. (For example, add the keyword "snowboard pants" rather than "snowboard pant".) Granular and organized groups with well-written creative will benefit most from dynamic keyword insertion and result in increasing click-through-rates and Quality Scores.
Review Bidding Hierarchy
When setting keyword bids for GDN campaigns, the most specific bid available will always be used. The general order of bids, from most to least specific, is outlined below:
As a result of this hierarchy, when setting keyword-level bids, don't set a Display Network bid as Google will ignore the individual keyword bid that was set. Similarly, if no placement bids, Display Network bids or individual keyword bids have been set, the default group bid will be leveraged. As a best practice, only set individual keyword-level bids and default group bids when optimizing bids for GDN campaigns.
Yesterday, Google released its earnings for the fourth quarter of 2011. On the whole, it was a strong quarter for the digital advertising giant. But Wall Street reacted in a way that seems counterintuitive. Since the earnings' call, $18 billion has evaporated from Google's market cap as share prices fell ~8%. So, what's happening here? Is there really cause for concern? Or are Wall Street's concerns overblown?
To get a more complete picture, let's look at the relevant pieces of Google's business and performance.
Google's revenue for the fourth quarter was $10.6 billion, representing a year-over-year (y/y) top line growth of 25%, and marking their first $10 billion plus quarter. Though I usually don't wax poetic over corporate financials, there is something strongly significant and symbolic about having hit the rarefied $10 billion quarter club. Way to go, Googlers!
Click Volume – Paid clicks were up 34% annually (y/y), implying more users are more engaged with Google.
CPC – Cost per Click declined 8% on a y/y basis, implying customers are getting more volume (clicks) for their advertising spend. This dynamic is important to keep in mind as cheaper clicks are better for advertisers, and assuming click quality doesn't decline, will lead to increased investment in Google.
There's probably more to dissect in these earnings, but this is probably a good place to pause and examine Wall Street's reaction.
To put it plainly, Wall Street didn't like any of the above. Shares plummeted ~8%. The big issue for Wall Street (based on the nature and frequency of analyst questions) was around the decline in Google's average cost per click.
But this shouldn't really be a factor because the marginal cost of a click (for Google) is zero. And assuming that click volumes are rising faster than changes in the cost per click, which they are in this case, Google's top line revenue shouldn't really see an impact.Net net, if cheaper clicks brings more advertisers on-board, than Google will more than make up on volume.
To be fair, I'm not looking at the slowdown in Europe or issues around currency (F/X) hedging in this blog post. (I'm also not looking at the positive impacts of mobile, social and display) But, those issues are a) extrinsic and b) volatile, and in retrospect, Wall Street may have over-reacted to Google's numbers.

Mixed Feelings,
This review is from: The New Penguin Russian Course: A Complete Course for Beginners (Penguin Handbooks) (Paperback)
As the title of this review indicates, I have very mixed feelings about this book.
I studied Russian at school (many years ago) and used the original Penguin Russian Course as a text book, finding it excellent. For this reason, I had no hesitation in buying the New Penguin Russian Course a few months ago, when I dedided to renew my acquaintance with the language.
At first glance, I felt the new course would be every bit as good as the original; the explanations of the grammar points are easy to understand and are written in such a way as to be not only informative and interesting but even, on occasion, entertaining. I am quite sure that, in a classroom context, with the back up of a teacher, this would be a first class course book.
However, as a self-study tool, I feel the book leaves a lot to be desired. There is too much material crammed into each lesson, to the extent that the student may feel not only daunted at first glance, but also discouraged by the seemingly slow progress, because it takes so long to cover each chapter from beginning to end. In addition, I found that, even with prior knowledge of the language, I was having to turn back the pages frequently to go over a point covered earlier in the chapter, or in a previous chapter, because there are not enough practical exercises of each grammar point to allow the student fully to consolidate the knowledge acquired. I think a complete beginner, studying alone, would find this extremely discouraging.
I now find myself in the situation whereby I feel the need to acquire a separate workbook with exercises to practice the grammar points covered in just the first few chapters of this book.
In conclusion, I would highly recommend this book as a text-book for a classroom situation, but would definitely not recommend it for those studying alone, especially if they are complete beginners.

Yes, this book certainly requires infinite patience and dedication to plough one's way through successfully. And yes, a detailed grammar with very few exercises is better for developing understanding skills than speaking skills.
I always find, when learning languages, that it is a good idea to have two or three books on the go as soon as you begin to make some progress. So why not consider supplementing the grammar book with a book full of examples - such as "Russian Made Simple", by Eugene Jackson and Elizabeth Bartlett Gordon - and making sure you do a few examples each day, however few. Also, consider a book of verbs - eg,Barron's 501 Russian verbs, or Schaum's Big Silver Book of Russian Verbs. Finally, either buy an audio CD; or, if you have already broken the bank, find some free audio websites on the net.
Most important of all, whether you have one book, two books, or three: when you start getting irritated by one learning activity (such as grammar, or exercises, or audio), switch to a different activity - such as spending half an hour learning a few new verbs, or listening to some Russian music, or even taking a day off Russian and doing a spot of gardening? That way, you will remain fresh.

Help! My check brake light comes on when I turn right even if my foot is not on the pedal. What should I look for?
November 12, 2006.
November 12, 2006.
If the bakes work fine then check the master cylinder to see if it is filled all the way. There is a float inside the master cylinder to indicate when the fluid is low. If you are a little low the float could cause the light to come on when you make a turn, when the fluid goes to one side. After the turn the fluid will even out again causing the light to go out.
Hope this helps. BYM

tomboy style
trawling through the archives of tomboy style by lizzie garrett is a favourite thing to do.
To define a tomboy requires searching far beyond the simple notion of wearing boy's clothing. Tomboys have influenced the expanses of popular culture including fashion, film, music, and literature. Although the tomboy is often identified by clothing, what makes her wholly so is an inherent sense of confidence, rebelliousness, and adventure.

The Mineral Wells Drug was located at 110 N. Mesquite Avenue about 1910. Charles Pollard was the manager. The date of this picture is unknown, but it is conjectured (from the dress of the people pictured) to have been taken in the early twentieth century. Please note the scant electric lighting. Also note the (working?) brass spittoon in front of the cigar display. Customers, presumably having a light meal, are located in the far back.

The Firstron Building occupied the site of the Oxford Hotel (which burned down)and was itself replaced by the First National Bank (which moved away). The building burned in 1983. Lynch Plaza now [2012] occupies the site. The sign in front of the remains of the Firstron Building reads: Firstron Building OFFICE SPACE FOR RENT 325-4461 ROOM 300 It invites ironic comment. This picture appears in "Time Was in Mineral Wells", Second Edition, on page 186.

Excavation work and clearing of the two blocks in downtown Mineral Wells for the Baker Hotel is shown here. In the background is the Dr. Thompson home, the old First Methodist church and parsonage. The parsonage was moved to the corner of SE 3rd Street & SE 5th Avenue. The filling station in the foreground was located where Murray's Grill parking lot once was [ca. 1950]. The Piedmont Hotel was across the street (NE 1st Avenue.) where the Baker Hotel garage building is now [2009]located. The work has just begun clearing the lots. The tower on top of East Mountain is barely visible above the welcome sign that was erected there in 1925. This photograph comes from the Young collection.

This building once housed the third Post Office in Mineral Wells. The body of the photograph is marked POST OFFICE MINERAL WELLS, TEXAS 1936. Please observe the automobiles parked in front, on the sloping street. It was the issue of insufficient parking that caused the Post Office to move. The building presently [2013] houses the Women's Club.

Bruins frustrated with lack of "fight"
TORONTO – While the Bruins were voicing some frustration about their latest loss, against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday, it seemed like some pent up frustration about a poor four-game road trip spilled out as they headed back to Boston.
The Bruins dropped three of four games on a road swing through Pittsburgh and Canada, punctuated by a 3-2 loss to the Leafs at Air Canada Centre where Boston outshot Toronto by a 33-13 margin over 60 frustrating minutes. The B's finally seemed to get the memo about playing with desperation once Anton Khudobin was pulled in the third period after giving up his third goal of the night.
Dennis Seidenberg and Andrew Ference potted point shots to close the Bruins to within one goal, but it was too little and way too late for any chance at two points. Coach Claude Julien said following the defeat that the Bruins didn't deserve to win the game, and that was a point nobody was arguing.
"[It was a frustrating loss] for a lot of reasons," said Julien. "We had a chance to win this game. We had some chances that we missed . . . an open net in the first period. We hit a couple of posts. It was frustrating because we [only] played in the third period after it was already 3-0.
"There was enough fight in us tonight to deserve the win. We need to continue to battle. Once we find a way to play three periods like we did when we fell behind 3-0, then we'll be okay. The way we gave up goals were mistakes, and the last goal we have up was a weak goal. I had to give our team a jolt somehow, so I put Tuukka [Rask] back in there [in place on Anton Khudobin]. We seemed to play a little more of our game after that, but we shouldn't be waiting for things like to happen. Those are things I didn't like from our hockey club."
The empty net Julien was speaking of belonged to Nathan Horton, who seemingly had an eternity to shoot a loose puck in front of the Toronto net at the end of the first period. But Horton couldn't pull the trigger on the slow developing play and it became a symbol of the lackadaisical 40 minutes of hockey Boston started out playing.
Then there was his power forward partner, Milan Lucic, who had zero shots and only one hit in 17:22 of ice time while only showing any emotion when he snapped his stick in half after slamming it into the bench following an offensive zone turnover. The Bruins take so much of their emotion and energy from their hard-hitting power forward, but Lucic has looked lost while going without a goal in his last 15 games.
"Guys are aware they haven't scored in a while. They'd like nothing more than to get that monkey off their back," said Seidenberg. "We just didn't really want it bad enough and that's why we lost."
Bruins captain Zdeno Chara didn't play badly in his 25:04 of ice time, but he was on ice for a sloppy sequence in the third period when Toronto enforcer Frazer McLaren found a way to push a puck through Khudobin's pads to give the Leafs a 3-0 lead. That led to Khudobin getting yanked from the game.
But Chara was sitting at his stall waiting for the media once the dressing doors opened, and he appeared as angry as he's been after any defeat this season. Boston dropped games to the Penguins, Jets and Maple Leafs on the four game road trip and managed only six total goals in the four games. The Bruins had every reason to play with urgency and emotion-fueled passion so they could finish the lackluster four game trip with a .500 record, but, save for a few exceptions, it wasn't there.
"For sure, it was a lack of energy and jump in our game," said Chara. "Maybe [we needed] a little more desperation. We were close to scoring a few times, so maybe it was [squeezing our sticks] and maybe it wasn't. It didn't seem to be a problem later on [in the third period].
"We need to put this game behind us, regroup and get ready for the same opponent at home. We know with this team that we're capable of playing a lot better and with a lot more desperation."
The Bruins displayed plenty of desperation during their two chances to kill penalties, and that might have been their best stretches of hockey over the entire 60 minutes. They were a more determined team once the goalie was pulled in the third period and they were down three goals.
There was no excuse for the Bruins to not come firing out of the gate against Toronto playing that way. At least they didn't try to make any in a postgame locker room at Air Canada Centre where only Chara, Seidenberg, Matt Bartkowski and the two goaltenders came out to hold themselves accountable in defeat.

IN VINO VERITASIn Wine, Truth, according to the ancient Romans. They loved wine at meals or anytime just to relax. And truth be told the recently rediscovered Vermont wine grape Vergennesfirst grown in Vergennesmade its triumphant return to the Small City during the summer. New York vintner John Brahm donated a sturdy vine to the city after he began bottling the dry, lightly fruity wine from the long-lost heritage grape last year. The vine was planted in Vergennes City Park

This soup needs to be thinned out with more cream or chicken stock.
Not as great as I thought it would be. Tasted too strong (lime, carrots and onions? ack!), was very thick and odd colored (a gooey orange-milky color). Gross and not satisfying at all.
I liked this a lot.. I added 12 ounces of carrots instead of 8

Welcome to the Professional & Drama Free Zone. This is not a hookup site, don't behave like you are on a dating site and that I want to date you No head games, it is your look, professionalism and the killer images that I am going after.
It should be obvious to everyone, but often it is not. After more than 8 years dealing with over hundreds or so models, it should be said up front so everyone is on the same page.
1. I am efficient and passionate in setting up and executing the photoshoot, I don't want to waste time in the endless email chain. I am a go-getter; it does not mean I am desperate. There are plenty of other fishes around in the pond
2. Because I am old school, easy going, kind and generous, it does not mean I am stupid. I know every trick, lame excuse and lie a "young" person can throw at me, I can smell their dishonesty miles away. Lying is NOT the "New Truth". Don't make a fool of yourself thinking no one knows you were lying. All I ask you is to be truthful and respectful. I will do the same for you.
It is sad that I have to bring this up, I want to weed out the undesirables and seek out those who have the potential to do great things in life. Modeling or being successful in life is not for everyone, I hope you are the selective one.
I offer a complete model portfolio development including pose & emotive coaching, photo shoot, photo selection and beyond. I am specialized in working with new models, putting them at ease and helping them to discover their hidden talents and gain confidence in life. My sought-after trait in a model is her ability to emote & pose.
1. If you have decided to work with me because you like my work, please no drama, no baggage, be mature, reliable and ready to shoot. Mutual respect is good. A timely reply is appreciated. Collect your thoughts before replying, no text lingo and no one liner.
Here are the painless sequences of the event that will happen if we work together.
a. agree on a couple genres with a concept
b. set a time, date and location (studio or on location)
c. exchange cell phone numbers. This is a must. I don't let
a total strange into my studio with just a MM member name
d. reconnect again via PM 5 to 7 days before the shoot to finalize things
e. text each other to re-confirm a day before the shoot
f. On the day of the shoot: Don't get cold feet, you will be fine and have
a lot of fun
g. Untimely reply is the first sign of flake. Do the right thing, cancel the
2. Before agreeing a shoot, please make sure you can commit the time and date. No one likes the last minute cancellation or at worst disappearing a day before the shoot. Remember KARMA.
If somehow you change your mind and don't want to work with me for whatever reason, just let me know and no harm done. There is no need to give me any reason either, I promise you will NOT hurt my feeling and I won't cry. If you choose to flake or are suspected lying to me, you will not get another chance to shoot with me and I will make sure your flake is known to every MM photographer colleagues I know.
3. It is your body, your choice. If you don't shoot nudes, just stated in your profile. No need to scream at me with "CAP" on like I would ask you to get naked for me when your profile clearly stated no nudes.
It is just because I shoot nudes and erotica, it does not make me a bad person. A few months ago, I received an email from a 21 yo model telling me that she does NOT feel safe communicating with me because my portfolio has many naked women. Whoa, that was refreshing. Mutual respect is what I ask for.
4. I shoot with passion, and hope you model with passion too. Life is too short to waste time on the senseless activities and collecting friends on internet.
5. Federal or State issued photo ID and signing the model release are required before the shoot begins.
6. Aside from these "icy cold business talks", I am very out going, friendly, silly and funny as hell. There is no a dull moment in my photoshoot. I know how to calm new model and inspire her to perform the best because I am a person/person. I improvise and think outside the box.
All the best to your modeling career. Thank you so much.
I have too many to list. I work mainly with the professional traveling models on MM exclusively. However, in the past I worked with lot of new models, and nowadays I have very limited time to shoot with new models. However, I do enjoy new faces and talent especially when they have the look and charisma. Again maturity must be there.
I have impeccable references, just ask.
A Few Words About Friends
Considering that I have been on MM more than 7 years and heavily shooting with MM models, but I don't collect many friends. Internet friends are just silly. I don't care much about them. Tag me or write me a note, if you want to work together.

It definitely hasn't been the sexiest year for film, given some of the top nominated flicks were focused on terrorism and war. And although Ben Affleck looks seriously scrumptious with a beard, what is good story telling without some element of love or lust? Thankfully, there were some notable scenes for those of us who fast forward to the sex scenes enjoy a little bump n'grind with their cinematic experience. Continue reading

5 Signs She's Up For Sex
It's not rocket science that has lead us ladies to a clear understanding of when a man is up for sex. There's a vast array of signs indicating your guy wants to go for it; everything from that telling stare across the dinner table to the hard-on he's trying to conceal when he lays his eyes on you in that dress. Men can confuse and baffle us on some occasions, but when it comes to sex, there is nothing more clear than a man's desire. But what about women? Are we as easy to read when we want to get our rocks off, or do men need to be more mindful of our signals? Continue reading
Things I Learned at the Taboo…Naughty but Nice Sex Show
Entering through the hot pink phallus-like pillars, instantly the smell of scented lube and latex strikes you. To your right are fit young lads in nothing but aprons bearing their taut bottoms. To your left are leather whips and glittering ball gags a plenty. Walk in a little further and you'll most likely lock eyes with other flush faced lookie-loos there to discover a myriad of sensual delights. Is it a neon infused version of Neverland? Is it one giant play room for adult eyes only? Or is it the sexiest event of the year? I'd say all three. Continue reading
The 411 on Sexting

Where is porn for women?
Women have come a long way, baby. We're lawyers, doctors, and astronauts. We're writers, artists and rock stars. We can vote and sit at the table with the big boys. But is it still a man's world? Are women really enjoying all the perks that men do? Continue reading
Wedding rings are chick magnets
What is it about the addition of a band of gold on a man's finger that compels women to relax and engage in conversation? The moment a man is spoken for, it's like a switch is turned on or they exude this certain relaxed confidence women can't resist. Maybe the moment a man enters into marriage, he automatically secretes an irresistible scent that draws the ladies in like a moth to a flame? Whatever the reason, it seems as though married men are having a much easier go at meeting women these days. Continue reading

"Wings of Hope" Program
Cell: 239-777-1108
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
The "Wings of Hope" program is an integral part of the FGCU Environmental Humanities curriculum and service learning requirement. University students are introduced to native Southwest Florida wildlife, their habitats, and water conservation. They bring this knowledge to students in 4th & 5th grade with science-based environmental education programs. Elementary school students are bussed to FGCU for the program - both public and private schools in Collier and Lee Counties.
Our Board of Advisor, and dear friend, Nancy Payton was joyous May 22nd when the Nancy Payton Preserve in Collier County was finally open to the public. This 76 acre plot of land was unanimously named after her in recognition of all of her hard work on behalf of native wildlife including the endangered Florida Panther.
The property, located at 1540 Blue Sage Drive in rural Collier County, was purchased in 2005 by Conservation Collier, Collier County's conservation land program. The preserve property is managed by Conservation Collier land manager Christal Segura. There are trail markers, benches, a picnic table and an educational sign built by Eagle Scout Trey Blackmon. The Collier County Audubon Society donated a sign identifying the woodpeckers found in the Preserve.
The Nancy Payton Preserve serves as an important wildlife refuge within Collier County's urban fringe for many native plant and animal species. Wildlife known to occur or directly observed include the bobcat, cotton mouse, gopher tortoise, eastern gray squirrel, Florida panther, nine-banded armadillo, raccoon, spotted skunk, Virginia opossum, white-tailed deer, Big Cypress fox squirrel, red cockaded woodpecker and at least six different woodpecker species. Florida black bear are known to be in the area.

The Wings of Hope Program is proud to announce the creation of our Bear Brigade Environmental Education Program! Like the Panther Posse Program, the Bear Brigade was created, and is directed, by Ricky Pires. This program will target fourth grades in Orlando and will connect with the Panther Posse students here in Collier and Lee County. The Bear Brigade will begin in the fall of 2015, four target schools will be used to launch this program and the focus will be on the Florida Black Bear. Wings of Hope will be partnering with FWC, Wekiwa Springs State Park and the University of Central Florida. In the photo above is Biologist Dr. Dan Smith of UCF, who is supplying us with the latest bear research, posing with some of our fourth grade elementary school teachers of Orlando! For more information about the Bear Brigade, click Here.

As the 2014-2015 school year is nearing its end for both collier and lee county grade school students, our Panther Posse fourth and fifth graders have went above and beyond in raising money and saving their pennies for panthers for the FGCU Wings of Hope Program. These funds are now being used to purchase a new infrared motion camera to capture pictures of our endangered Florida Panther, as well as, other critters that also call Florida habitats home. This includes, Florida Black Bears and more elusive animals such as the Grey Fox and Coyote. We are so thankful to our Panther Posse students for taking initiative and helping the success and perpetuation of our program for future generations. Together we will help save the Florida Panther and its habitat!

Historical Traveler Reviews The Hotel California Santa Monica
Loved the Hotel Ca
I wanted to stay in Santa Monica, with value for money in mind. I was lucky to have found the Hotel California. Just about on Santa Monica Beach, the hotel is central to everything in downtown Santa Monica. My room was tastefully decorated and the bed the most comfortable I've experienced in motel accomodation.
The staff were friendly and helpful. The Hotel Ca is must for anyone wanting to experience Santa Monica without the need for exhorbitant room rates.
Absolutely Don't Stay Here
This place was extremely noisy and dirty. We had the sink backfilling up with dirty water from the shower upstairs and loud partying and banging music with drunk sounding people on the first night. We chaulked the noise up to being a Saturday night. What a mistake. My husband and I wish we had moved the very next morning but we toughed it out for three nights. Never again! "The only good thing was the down comforters. They were nice." The second day we had had No maid service at all. Now this place only has 26 rooms. How can you miss cleaning a room with only 26 rooms?
The list goes on from there and if you want an accurate detailed list of complaints, just read some of the other one star reviews. They are accurate.
When we checked out, they charged us for 3 nights, even though the desk manager and I discussed that I had credit for one night and should be charged for only 2 nights. When I realized what she had done, she said it had already been charged to AX and she couldn't do anything about it. "I would have to talk to the manager." From last Tuesday to today (the following Monday), I have called around 15 times. He is never there but she always promises that he will call me back ASAP. He has never called me! (He is always out doing errands!) -Not on my cell phone or at the hotel we stayed at for the rest of our trip nor at my home.
This place is a royal rip off. Don't stay here!
Awsome Stay!!!
The best sleep i ever had...amazing beds. The beach was so close and the place was so friendly. I loved the staff...will recommend to all my friends.
Filthy dirty,misrepresented by Fodor and AAA reviews
Made the mistake of accepting AAA and Fodor's reviews of this dump August 2003. They said recently renovated.Were told we were receiving 20% discount for AAA and time of stay. Ad said parking,reality,not enough for guest,spaces so narrow if park can;t exit veficle,advertised $9.00 a day park at thr front desk and then bill $15.00. Question and told too bad,go park elsewhere. Rooms filthy,dirty wood floors. NO AC and no screens in windows.Mold on shower and cracked shower tiles. Black mold on refridge gaskets,dirty towels put in rooms by maids,broken wall outlets.Bird droppings so thick on awnings outside windows you felt contaminated. Maid service poor and slow.Television had only 2 colors green and orange. Complained, nothing done about it.Phone went out and told too bad,you're leaving in a couple days anyways. THE WORST PLACE HAVE EVER STAYED, and if filth is what $200.00 a day gets you in Santa Monica,I say they deserve Anold and the fires.Is not "on the beach" and they do not have their own beach section as implied. A DUMP OF THE FIRST MAGNITUDE.....and awful ,if any service.I HAVE PHOTOS of everything,so I can't be accused of exaggeration.
Great experience all round
Fabulous decor, ambience, really helpful & friendly staff. Not a ... standard experience - if you can cope with some things being a little shaky, you'll love it.
Hotel California is terrible!!!
I booked my reservation through HOTWIRE unfortunately, so I couldn't change hotels without losing my money. HOTWIRE said the hotel was a three star hotel. What a joke!!!! First of all, the help is rude to the customers! When I told the clerk that the first room was unacceptable - the type of room you would expect in a one star (at best) hotel, he offered me another room at $20.00 more per night. There went the savings by booking through HOTWIRE. The second room window's do not lock, because they are broken, there is no air condition, it is a cute room at best, but far from a three star hotel room. And the noise from the street is terrible. Since my husband and I have already paid for it, we are stuck, unfortunately, but this hotel is overpriced for what they offer and the pictures on the internet do not give an accurate picture of the rooms!
Never never again
I should have read other reviews before book the hotel. It was a small, dirty and noisy hotel. It seems very often they have crazy guests shouting all night. The hotel clerk was very rude and not helpful. I was trying to write some reviews on their website and can't find any place to do so. They know they have terrible rooms. Lesson I learned is never trust the content on the hotel's website, check third place's review before booking.
Never again!!!
I was excited to stay at this Hotel. It looked cute and was reasonable.
It turned out to be terrible. We were woken up both mornings at 5:45 AM by noisy neighbors. The shower was clogged up...the room was sooooo small we kept tripping over each other. The saving grace was the pool at the Loews next door. I wish we had paid an extra $50 and stayed at a nicer place. This motel should cost no more than $99 a night.
Loved it
I loved this place! So charming and well placed! The parking lot is a bit tight but the setting was worth it!
Hell- California-Style
Terrible. Old, not quite clean. Lost my reservation, then "found" a smaller room, for the same price, of course. Noisy. Absolutely no parking, unless you luck out for the $10 spaces (of which there are 12). Water in bathroom sink would not turn off. Not hair dryer, no iron in room. Miniscule shower- better be thin to use it!

Rutland man guilty of setting fires in national forestNovember 15,2013
Local man admits
starting forest fires
A Rutland man has pleaded guilty to starting fires on Green Mountain National Forest land.
Jack P. Dickson pleaded guilty Wednesday in U.S. District Court to three federal misdemeanor charges of setting a fire on national land without authority, leaving a fire without completely extinguishing it and damaging government property.
As part of a plea agreement with federal prosecutors, Dickson was fined $500 for each offense. However, as part of the plea deal, the government will suspend the fines on the condition that Dickson isnt charged again with a federal, state or local crime during his two-year probation.
U.S. Forest Service agents and the Vermont State Police fire investigation unit arrested Dickson after an investigation into a 6-acre wildfire that burned a section of woodland in Mount Holly in March 2012.MORE IN This Just InSafety warning for Full StoryBETHEL Police have made an arrest nearly a week after a hit-and-run accident in which the...
