Time Warner Cable (
) will report its Q3 2013 earnings on October 31. We expect
continued growth in broadband business as the residential and
business demand for high-speed data services continues to grow on
the back of increased use of multiple devices and higher
penetration of smartphones. On the other hand, there will be a
decline in pay-TV subscribers as on-demand video services
such as Netflix (
) and Amazon (
) continue to grow. Moreover, the company blacked out CBS (
) networks in three key areas for almost a month that may have let
some customers vent their frustration on the cable-TV provider by
either cord switching or cord-cutting.
See our complete analysis for Time Warner
Additional Services Can Help Counter The Subscriber
For cable companies in the U.S., the past several quarters have
been tough as they have been experiencing significant challenges in
retaining pay-TV subscribers. During the last quarter, Time Warner
Cable lost 191,000 pay-TV subscribers. The company stated that it
will now pursue subscribers with higher ARPU, higher profit and
lower churn even if that means fewer connects.
The cable giant Comcast (
) has been aggressively addressing the issue of customer churn by
developing additional features such as X1 and Xfinity bundled with
pay-TV services. Time Warner Cable also offers TV everywhere
service to stream live channels and access on-demand content but
needs to develop it further and bring more content for viewers. We
continue to believe that such offerings with pay-TV subscription
can help the company counter subscriber losses attributable to
rising competition, especially from on-demand video services.
Broadband Will Stay Firm
The broadband business has done well for Time Warner Cable due
to the rising demand for faster Internet and the decline of DSL
Internet connections. For the last quarter, the company reported
11.6 million broadband subscribers. We estimate that the broadband
business constitutes roughly 32% of the company's value. The boom
in demand for broadband in the U.S. can be primarily attributed to
a resurgent housing market and stronger economy, along with the
growing need for speed and connectivity. Given that only 72% of the
population uses broadband at home, there is still much room left
for broadband to penetrate, and this will benefit the cable
industry in particular as it accounts for 58% of the U.S. broadband
market. In an attempt to expand its fiber base, the company
recently agreed to buy DukeNet Communications, which will
strengthen its business services in the Southeast (Read More -
DukeNet Acquisition Will Bolster Time Warner
Cable's Business Services In The Southeast
Why Is Stock Moving Up?
Time Warner Cable's stock has been moving upwards and gained more
than 20% since June this year even after losing many pay-TV
subscribers in the second quarter. This can be attributed to the
speculation of a possible bid from Charter Communications. Liberty
Media owns 27% of Charter and Liberty Chairman John Malone has been
vocal about his goal of leading the consolidation in the cable
industry. Liberty has made it clear it can wait for Time Warner
Cable results to deteriorate further. This would be interesting to
watch as even if the results turn out to be negative, the stock
might move upwards sensing a deal.

Hobby Lobby supporters claim that they aren't out to take away contraception, just to keep religious employers from paying for it. Now that the Obama administration has made that possible, however, they are still throwing fits.
A petition to the U.S. Supreme Court filed by a group of religiously affiliated nonprofits argues that any process that allows employees to access contraception coverage is a violation of employer's rights.
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania analyzed claims data from a nationwide provider of private insurance, and found that on average, contraceptive pill and IUD users spent 20 percent less out-of-pocket on their chosen family planning methods post-ACA.
Heeding calls from pro-choice advocates to end the discriminatory Hyde Amendment, House Democrats introduced comprehensive legislation to ensure every woman has equal access to insurance coverage of abortion.
From Alaska to Tennessee, there are renewed calls for Medicaid expansion from activists in Republican-controlled states after the U.S. Supreme Court's decision upholding a key provision of the Affordable Care Act.
"The exclusion of methods used by men simply makes no sense and benefits no one—not men, not women, not families, not health plans," Adam Sonfield, author of a new analysis for the Guttmacher Institute on "male" contraceptive methods, said in a statement.
Florida's Republican-led house on Friday ended this legislative session's debate over whether to use federal Medicaid money toward health-care expansion, voting down a senate proposal 72 to 41.
The decision released Tuesday is a strong endorsement of the Obama administration's accommodation process for religiously affiliated nonprofits that object to providing contraception in health-care plans.
The Affordable Care Act is proving to be a great tool to help women obtain contraception. But there are more obstacles to contraception to be addressed, from religion-based shaming to simple transportation issues.
There are 30 days left in the regular session and a total of 32 filed bills dealing with the subject of abortion—most, but not all, of which would make comprehensive reproductive health care more costly and difficult to access.

Is Auerbach single again?Comment on this story
London - Dan Auerbach has reportedly split up with his wife.
The Black Keys guitarist wasn't accompanied by his spouse Stephanie Gonis at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday and sources close to the pair claim they have parted ways.
A source told Us Weekly: "Dan's wife wasn't there (at the ceremony) because they are going through a divorce. The split is unfortunate."
Dan, who has a four-year-old daughter Sadie Little with Stephanie, also walked the red carpet without his wedding band.
Dan's split with his wife comes just months after the band's drummer Patrick Carney married Emily Ward.
The couple tied the knot in the backyard of their home in Nashville in September in front of 350 friends and family and the couple's Irish wolfhound Charlotte.
The ceremony was officiated by comedian Will Forte while Dan also attended.
The bride wore a lace gown by Carolina Herrera as she walked down the aisle to to Tommy James & the Shondells' Crimson And Clover while the groom opted for a white tuxedo jacket and black trousers. - Bang Showbiz

Average Customer Review
It has easy-to-read and detailed passages that ebb and flow into one another, but if you learn structurally, it does not outline the material for you. You have to seperate the material yourself and outline the key components of each section. It does, however, highlight key terms, have useful tables and figures, and give many example problems.read more
It should have charts or images that outline the key components of each chapter, so a reader can review each chapter just with a quick look and be able to understand the core material quickly.
This book had a lot of terminology and graphs that were hard to comprehend.read more
I would change the language of the book because I feel like it was hard to understand each section.

On the other hand, it can always get worse. The county is actually named after William's seventh great uncle, Prince William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland. That William is best remembered for ordering his men to execute the surviving Jacobites after the Battle of Culloden in 1747. That earned William, the Duke of Cumberland, the majestic nickname: "The Butcher."
Is it really so quaint that the world used to be controlled by bloodlines, by monarchs with absolute power? Do we really need the deluded members of these same bloodlines running around shaking our hands and waving at us?
It just reminds me what a great thing it has been for America that we threw these royals out of our country a long time ago. And I think we did it for a really great reason: freedom.
Or, was it just because we were too "low class" to appreciate King George?
Maybe I'm a stick-in-the-mud; such royalty is mostly a tourist trap these days. But as big a fan of commerce as I am, I just don't like this trap.
Look, I don't have a long list of demands or anything. We don't have to change the name of the county. Or beg forgiveness for being of the same ethic background as other folks, who may or may not be our ancestors.
All I ask is that we not embrace the evils of power and privilege ? America's traditional political enemies, and the focus of my Common Sense e-letter ? from our past and celebrate them. Or use them to celebrate ourselves.
Even if the f? comes with a "royal heartthrob."
But perhaps ? just perhaps ? I've got it all wrong. Maybe the idea is for the Prince to visit and take part in an elaborate ceremony. He steps up to the dais. The applause calms down. He begins to speak. And before you can say "semisesquicentennial," we throw him out on his classic Windsor ear. Gently, of course. All in good fun. We're friends now, after all.
Now that would make for a fine celebration of our history.
And it would prove the Prince a great sport. It would be a sign of real class.
Let's just hope it won't cost too much.

Free Traffic Methods
- Sep
- 15
One of the most frequent questions online marketers ask about is free traffic methods.
I have found a really useful resource with good advice on free traffic methods for you; but first I want to remind you that free traffic is something of a myth, because you will have either spent time or money in generating it.
Perhaps you have spent money on:
- Pay-per-click(PPC) where you can easily overspend unless you keep a close eye on budgets
- Buying solo-ads – select your supplier by recommendation from someone you trust
- Paid-for advertising (such as Facebook ads, text and banner advertising)
- Traffic exchanges – spend a little time surfing these yourself and consider what you think about how this traffic is generated and therefore what you think of its value
Then – when we start to investigate free traffic methods – you will soon realize that you pay for this kind of traffic with your TIME. Of course sometimes there will be reasons why you have more time than money, so this is your only choice.
Remember that there are some tasks that it's more efficient to pass onto an acknowledged expert rather than scrabbling about trying to learn yet another new skill. No-one can be a master of every traffic method.
With those caveats out of the way, as promised, we'll get onto …..
Free Traffic Methods
Instead of producing information in this post that can easily go out-of-date, or is just my opinion, I have chosen to direct you to an Internet Q&A forum where some of the most skilful online marketers gather to pool their knowledge. This will give you access to a broad range of discussions between these very experienced marketers, and be updated as new ideas surface.
This is one of the most helpful free resources I've come across online. Not only can you join free, have your questions answered and/or give answers yourself, in addition by joining in with the forum topics you will earn credits that you can use to advertise on the forum or even exchange for free software.
Of course the forum itself is one of the free traffic methods you can take advantage of. When you have participated at even a low level you can post with a signature that will promote your business in this forum which is rapidly building up to become a high traffic and well-respected authority site.
So whether you are:
- A new-comer looking for answers
- An expert with answers and advice to contribute
- Somewhere in between
- An experienced marketer with a relevant service to promote….
…..this forum has a benefits you will love You can join free here.
To return to the topic of the post, free traffic methods is just one of many recent questions being discussed on the forum. To read the answers, click on: What's your best source of free traffic? (opens in a new window). Before you read the answer, be sure to register, and the more you participate, the more points you accumulate.
The other clever twist recently introduced is a WordPress plugin I've added to this blog and you'll see underneath this post that it is generating "related questions" – and potentially taking visitors into the forum where they may stumble across your advert or signature.
If you think this is a helpful forum, someone else will too, so do your friends a favor – please "Share" this post.

Hi Joy
I've not heard of the Internet Q&A Forum so I'll go and check it out.
I considered using forums for traffic generation but I haven't done as yet.
I also don't use paid advertising. All of my traffic is either organic, referral or direct.
It doesn't mean to say I won't use it in the future but I got stung by Google Adwords a few years ago and had my account suspended. Lack of understanding and experience, I guess.
At least there are alternatives out there and thank you for sharing The Online Ad Network.

Hi Tim
The Q&A forum is very new – it only started in the last week or two.
I've done a bit of forum marketing before, but the facilities in this one are better than the previous couple I was in. (They seem to have closed down now.)
My experiences of paid advertising have been bad – and I, too, didn't get on well with Adwords. Like you, probably due to inexperience.
Anwyay, hope to catch up with you on the forum.

Thanks for sharing this great resource with everyone I think one of the best ways to get traffic is to interact with others and share thier content making them feel special and what to do the same
Hi Marty
Thanks for dropping by and glad you found the post useful.
Yes, I agree with you. The forum is very good in that way, because it generates discussion and interaction in a natural way.

Hi Joy,
Got here from a link on the FB group Social Media Mastermind.
Well let me just start off by saying thank you for the great post on traffic (we all need it).
Getting free traffic is an area I need to further improve and I'm looking forward to checking out your recommendation of the Internet Q&A forum.
Thanks for your help,
Hi Guy
Thanks for dropping by – I'm pleased to "meet" you.
Yes, free traffic is something we all need, and there were plenty of tips in that forum post that should keep be busy for a long time to come.
Hope to see you here again soon – or on the forum!
Joy Healey recently posted…Free Traffic Methods
Ahh "free" traffic – it never is free is it?
I've self-banned myself from IM forums. I spent far to much time swearing at the screen and getting nothing done, not to mention spending money on products I don't need just to see what they're like!
The giving away products for points sounds interesting though – I guess it depends on which products they are
Jan Kearney recently posted…#OpenForBusiness – A Business Fair for Widnes, Runcorn and Frodsham
Hi Jan
No, never free! Time is money. Money you can get back (hopefully) time you never can!
Must admit the forums can be very addictive! However, it's not like the Warrior Forum where there's tons of products to tempt you.
The products given away for points are some of Jonathan Leger's products. Also points can earn you advertising in the forum.
Been too busy to take much part at the moment – probably luckily!
Good to see you back.

I am visiting your blog the first time and its really helpful.
You have correctly stated that free traffic is a myth,we either spend time or money for drawing traffic to our blog.
I fall under the new-comer category and thus the Internet Q & A forum seems interesting. Will surely check it out and join it soon.
Thanks for sharing the information!

I'm glad you find my site and this post helpful, thanks.

Hi Joy,
I have never used paid advertising except for that one test I did on facebook where I tried to increase my "likes" through the paid banner advertising for like 3 days and this really SUCKS!!!! I spent like $20 bucks for NOTHING. So disappointing. And NEVER AGAIN.
Although I would have had a chance to have the Adsense, I've never really pursue it due to a lot of horrible stories I heard, I didn't wanna have it on my blog. But instead I tried Qadabra, Chitika, and Amazon Associates…
The forum you have in your link seems very informative but I just never have enough time to spend there. Besides trying to hit my goal of reading 5 blogs a day…it's very hard to master all of these places to fetch more traffic. Wish we have like 34 hours in a day! LOL
Anyway, have a great weekend dear friend.
Angela McCall recently posted…Tutorial Video Of Friends+Me & DoShare
Hi Angela
Paid advertising has never done me any favors. I can't think of a single campaign where I made a PROFIT!
I was thinking of doing a "boost post" on FB the other day but I must have done something silly because it didn't offer me as much targeting as I expected. Then I got busy/distracted and didn't get back to it!
I agree – these forums are SO dangerously time-consuming. But posting in the one I mentioned does get your links out, which I think would be very helpful for your services as I'm sure more people would be interested in a graphic design service than my Mineral Analysis LOL.
The link again is: http://answers.jlforums.com/a.php?id=127 It just earns me a few ad credits
I like Chitika better than the other places and glad you reminded me about it.
You have a good weekend too.

One of the ways you can get free traffic is by going to places where bloggers go.
Like blogging communities and networks.
Commenting on other blogs also helps in link building and traffic.
Interact with more and more bloggers and try to strength your bond with them over time.
I hope you'll agree with this

A Day in Sanctuary How the Woman, Who Has Become a Symbol of the Illegal Immigration Battle, Spends Her Days One Year after Seeking Refuge in a Church
Byline: Tara Malone
She monitors her MySpace page, greeting every new friend.
She sells make-up and skin cream from an Avon catalog.
She designs blouses and jokes as she stitches about creating her own label. The name? Sanctuary.
She helps her son with homework, tends to her Chihuahua and tidies up the bedroom they all share.
So time passes for Elvira Arellano inside these walls.
On Aug. 15, 2006, Arellano defied a federal deportation order when she, along with her U.S.-born son, Saul, sought sanctuary in a storefront church on Chicago's Northwest side.
A year later, Arellano - arguably the country's most famous undocumented immigrant - will announce Wednesday whether this is the life she'll continue to lead.
For some, Arellano's standoff with federal authorities represents the reason immigration reform is needed.
To others, her defiance epitomizes a disregard for the rule of law and the need for stricter immigration enforcement.
Yet few disagree that Arellano today is a ubiquitous symbol of the immigration debate unfolding in churches and city halls nationwide.
The 32-year-old mother from Michoacan, Mexico, was named one of 2006' most influential people by Time Magazine.
From her bedroom above the church, Arellano helped organize protests in Chicago and Washington, D.C., urging immigration reform.
And from her second-floor perch, she watched as proponents of a crackdown on illegal immigration shouted for her to "go home." Some called her an unfit mother, a charge, she says, that was tougher to shrug off.
Federal immigration officers discount Arellano's sanctuary, a religious concept with no legal authority. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement say they will deport Arellano "at a time and place of their choosing."
"ICE's statutory mandate is to fairly enforce the nation's immigration laws without regard for an alien's ability to generate media attention," according to an agency statement.
Arellano came to the U.S. illegally a decade ago. Hired with the help of a fake Social Security card, she cleaned planes at O'Hare International Airport. In 2002, Arellano was snared in a security bust at U.S. airports and pled guilty to using fraudulent documents. With that felony on her record, she faced deportation.
A string of political reprieves ensued when Arellano emerged as an activist for immigrant rights. She met then-Mexican President Vicente Fox and Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
But by 9 a.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 15, 2006, Arellano's time had run out. She was ordered to report to the Office of Homeland Security. She never showed. Arellano instead entered Adalberto United Methodist Church in the Puerto Rican neighborhood of Humboldt Park. The step inside from the busy stretch of Division Street was her last in public.
Shielded by watchful neighbors, protective friends and security cameras, she has not left church grounds since.
If Arellano stays, her days will be long and confined, as a recent visit with her by the Daily Herald shows. Here's a glimpse at the daily reality of a life in sanctuary:
8:30: Arellano wakes to an empty room. Now 8, Saul - Saulito to his friends - already left the twin bed he shares with his mother. He's in the kitchen with Arellano's friend, Jacovita Alonso, who moved into this flat with the pair nearly a year ago.
Arellano stretches in between the dresser, closet and small altar with candles and pictures of Jesus. Sit-ups come next, a concession to 361 days of not moving around much. She's dropped fajitas from her diet, too.
9 a.m.: Wearing jeans, a pressed shirt and black loafers, Saul heads off to a conference of Methodist church leaders. He goes in his mother's stead, as he's gone to Mexico City and Washington, D.C., Arellano sees off Saul and assistant pastor Beti Guevara before taking a shower. …

Middle school is an important time for young people as they transition from childhood into their teen years. Defining who they are in the world, practicing new social skills, and exploring their relationship to community are some of the life-changing tasks young people face in the years between eleven and fourteen. Middle school years are also a time when many young people teeter between alienation from academic studies and becoming life-long learners.
CitySprouts has two middle school programs: the summer youth program and the school-year after school program. These programs invite young people to engage in real world projects that develop their science, engineering and communication skills. They learn about food systems as well as ecosystems by growing, harvesting and eating food from the school garden. They strengthen their social-emotional skills to begin their teen years as empowered, active members of their community.
Summer Program
CitySprouts' tuition-free summer program provides a unique opportunity for young people to learn firsthand about the natural ecology of their local environment, starting with the school garden. They learn the skills to grow food in the school garden and to prepare delicious, healthy meals from the harvest. They explore the intersection of ecosystems, food systems and social systems in their community in a month-long internship that culminates with youth-designed projects.
After-School Clubs
Our after-school program for middle school youth combines cooking, gardening and engineering as students explore how to create the perfect pizza, to design and construct hoop houses in the school garden or to plan and plant a garden. CitySprouts' after-school clubs revolve around two key questions posed to students: what decisions do we have the power to make? Who do those decisions affect, and how?
Program Partners
CitySprouts' middle school programs depend on several partnerships, including our partner middle schools in Boston and Cambridge, FoodCorps, Cambridge Youth Programs, and our corps of five college fellows recruited to support our summer program each year.

There's something different about following the journalists instead of the magazine. They have a different take, which I'm finding much more refreshing than having to be filtered through a marketing directors lens. There's no doubt that GOOD is a good feed and has story driven content but I would rather just get it from the source, and interact with the person who created their stuff and presents it the way they intended it to be presented. I just started this experiment this weekend, we'll see where it goes. Have a great one!

MANKATO, Minn. -- Vikings wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson sat out the first day of training camp Friday because of what coach Mike Zimmer called a leg injury.
Zimmer told KFAN-AM the nature of the injury, and that Patterson is day-to-day. Patterson appeared to be limping while on the sidelines at Friday's afternoon practice.
Zimmer said earlier Friday that one player he didn't name failed Thursday's conditioning test, and there was some speculation it might have been Patterson. However, Patterson denied that.
"I really didn't," Patterson told the Pioneer Press. "I did not. I did not even take (the conditioning test)."

inside the temple of Amun and Mut
This sanctuary cut into the mountain itself has two chambers. It is small and dark, with only the guide's torch to point out the decorated walls. The outer chamber has pillars and all walls are carved with scenes. Unfortunately if there are a number of tourists the tomb becomes horribly crowded, and add to that the stench of bat droppings, it is not the most welcoming place to be.
Anyone suffering from asthma or breathing difficulties should be warned; as it is many people end up covering their noses.
When the crowd is reduced it is possible to take pictures of the outer chamber.

care with the monuments
I'm sure no VT-er would deliberately want to damage an ancient monument. However, I must say I was horrified when I saw some of the locals trying to climb on the pyramids. Since so many are already in a fragile condition, it seems so inconsiderate to take the risk of causing damage. There were no security guards around either when we first arrived, but when other cars turned up, one came and asked my husband to sign the visitors' book..

1. Re: Mensaje error actualización VSE 8.8Hayton Jan 29, 2013 3:17 PM (in response to antivirus-assi)
This has been moved from Consumer VirusScan to the Business section since this is for VirusScan Enterprise.
The question is (in English)
antivirus-assi wrote:
When trying to update VirusScan Enterprise 8.8 will see the following message in the log:
No updates were applied because packages were not in repository: VSCANCEU1000, EXTRADAT1000, BOCVSE__1000, SUPERDAT1000, VIRUSCAN8800.
Sdat6969 SuperDAT was applied and the same message continues to appear to update.
What can be the problem?
Can someone answer please?
2. Re: Mensaje error actualización VSE 8.8rmetzger Jan 29, 2013 7:07 PM (in response to antivirus-assi)
Hi antivirus-assi,
Are you updating successfully (meaning the version updates daily)? Today's version is 6970 but you could have run this before this version was released which would be 6969 and OK.
The updates you are looking at: VSCANEU1000, EXTRADAT1000, and BOCVSE_1000 represent: VirusScan Engine Update, ExtraDAT, and Buffer Overflow (I believe) for VirusScan Enterprise. No new Engine files are available today or recently. Also, Extra DAT files are released publicly only during emergencies, and I do not believe that any new entries need to be added to the Buffer Overflow controls. So, the fact that these 'failed' is not a surprise.
SUPERDAT1000 would be downloaded and applied if updates to VSE have Not taken place over say 30 days (regular updates occurring daily). Sdat6969 SuperDAT was applied. This is good. However, check again over the next few days and see if this SuperDAT is applied each day. It should not happen once you have caught up.
If you find that the SuperDAT is downloading daily, post back, as something is wrong.
Otherwise, I would probably ignore these messages, as it simply indicates nothing of significance beyond the norm has been included in the update process.
I also believe that the update process is configured to handle future updates and managed locally via ePO or other means. The entire update process is set up to handle modifications as needed by network administrators and security response teams. So, the update process is meant to be a foundation for future use, though today, these repositories are not being used.
Hope this helps.

Picture: Kim Kardashian - Kim Kardashian celebrates her birthday at TAO Nightclub at The Venetian Resort and Casino Las Vegas - Las Vegas, NV, United States...
Reality star Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are eager to give their daughter a sibling, despite the reality Tv star's difficult pregnancy.
Kardashian gave birth to little North five weeks early in June (13), after suffering complications from preeclampsia, but the new mum admits she is loving motherhood and wants to eventually add to her family.
She tells Extra, "We definitely want some (more children). It's everything you could ever imagine and more... It's the best feeling, it's the most rewarding job and I recommend everyone go through the process."
Meanwhile, Kardashian admits she's still giddy from her boyfriend's romantic proposal on her 33rd birthday a week ago (21Oct13) - the rapper took over the San Francisco Giants' baseball stadium for the grand gesture.
She continues, "I had absolutely no idea, I think nobody did... Everyone thought they were coming to San Francisco for my surprise day... It was a magical night and obviously the best birthday of my entire life."

Egyptians Protest Against Military Rule
- Uploaded by Willease on Feb 4, 2012
- Views: 451
Protests have erupted once again in Egypt. Demonstrators there are protesting against the ruling Military Council and the Interior Ministry for failing to provide security at a recent soccer match. Fans clashed after the match, resulting in hundreds of injuries and more than 70 deaths.
The event has become a flashpoint for the Egyptians' ongoing outrage against the ruling military government. The Port Said violence and resulting protests have intensified a continuing debate: How and when should the military relinquish control?
The military is expected to transfer power to a civilian government by the end of June. That is when a new president will be voted in. The Muslim Brotherhood stands to gain the most from a democratic government. It has decided to wait out the process to avoid angering the military.
Watch to see if the Muslim Brotherhood decides to put pressure on the Military Council for a speedier transfer of power. The Egyptian military still controls the stability of the country, but the Trumpet has predicted that it will ultimately lose power to the radical Islamic Muslim Brotherhood organization.

it's not quite side boob if its from the inside, I think that's just plain ole cleavage
^^ Definitely underboob.
A stoned mouth breather falling out of the animal print top.
Daddy must be proud.
Her head will inspire my weekend pumpkin carving.
Her tit will inspire my head.
In her dad's defense, there's just no way her father could have seen her downward spiral coming.
Anyone else would have, but not her father.
Her tit and her mouth will inspire my masturbation.
Mine too. The only way that mouth could look better is if it was wrapped around my weiner. It might be nice to hear it moaning happily while I stuffed her hot little butt full of penis but I wouldn't see her mouth cause she'd be bent over a table or something.
Only one picture? Where are the rest of the side boob shots? This couldn't have been the best one.
Apparently her boob can read Spanish.
Gotta love her, she is always good for a little boob action.
Let's hope Fleshlight doesn't wait too long on this one.
+100 excellent obsevation! You have a future as an agent…
Actually I thought we would be seeing just about all of her once she turned legal. Now THAT would be a good one for Hefner to publish.
Is she part Eskimo?
I would seriously like to bite down on her side boob…as I finger…..sorry. I'm ok now.
So it's come to this- chipmunk soft porn.
Ah, the sweet calm before the nosedive into oblivion. Get the Fleshlight people on the phone, Miley, this is gonna take crackerjack timing and cat-like reflexes.
Is she over 18 yet? Can I rub one off now?
You know, if it weren't for all her tattoos, her smile, her nose, her voice, her hair, her legs, her ears, her ass, her boobs, her crack addiction, her attitude, her arms, her waist, her genital warts, her voice, her voice , her voice, she could actually be cute.
K… Khloe…?
Hey Ya'll, the McBoob is back!

Rome, who was Mayweather "holding all night" I can see you really don't know boxing thats obvious… Floyd is HAPPY to bust you up in the middle of the ring, his opponents are the one who try to get close and work him over on the ropes while negating his speed advantages.. Obviously these tactics are neutralized and they find he is just as HARD to hit up close as he is from range…Stop your whining its an opponents job to find a way to WIN not Floyds job to make it easier or cater to their strengths… Like he says "I figure out what a guy does best and take it away from him"…. This is a MASTER boxer!Posted September 6, 2013 11:40 am
Tark there is NOTHING different absent Canelo being the heaviest fighter and youngest by a landslide Mayweather has faced.. His problem is getting beaten to the punch and not having the foot speed to contend with Floyd by round 3 his output will drop and he will be getting potshotted liberally with that lead right and thus ends another Mayweather masterpiece… Canelo is also one of the first guys not facing Floyd after a significant layoff so God Forbid Mayweathers that much sharper… Horrible night to ensue for young Alvarez!Posted September 6, 2013 5:16 am
Rome, stop the whining man Floyd's gonna be punching Canelo in the face like he does ALL his opponents Floyd is one of the BEST things to happen to a struggling sport.. Where are the OTHER guys who have SOOO many people tuning in? Howany other fighters are providing guys their biggest purses due to his popularity… Canelo, Mosley, Cotto, Ortiz, Guerrero, Marquez and Hatton all made BIG purses facing Floyd Mayweather and NOW we have the live gate record shattered!!! This is business and Floyd's the BEST… Rigondeaux is talented but he's nobody compared to FMJ, he has 13 pro fights LMAO!Posted September 6, 2013 5:12 am
Shred you did mention something worth a look, Guillermo Rigondeaux. Now my friend that is pure talent , pure skill.Posted September 6, 2013 1:55 am
Shredmond yea we get it, you like Mayweather. I myself can give a hoot about Mayweather. Mayweather is a clown and a disgrace to the sport, the sooner the dude leaves the better. Canelo will without a dought need a KO to win and not because mayweather is anything its the fact that the only way floyd is going to weather the Canelo storm is by holding him all night long and thats exactly what he is going to do. This fight is going to be boring.Posted September 6, 2013 1:52 am
This fight is different.., This is the first young, strong, tough, durable, smart, fast, hard punching, skilled, good all-around boxer Floyd has ever faced … He doesn't really have any weaknesses.
Zab wasn't tough… Oscar wasn't young… Mosley wasn't young… Cotto didn't have height, range, and strength… Marquez didn't have size… Corrales couldn't box worth a damn.
There's a first for everything … and Canelo is The One.Posted September 5, 2013 7:09 pm
Floyd has NO problems inside the ring, the man is UNDEFEATED, RATED #1 ON the planet…He was the highest paid athlete ON THE PLANET and he has been a P4P fighter since destroying Diego Corrales over 10 years ago… 3 time lineal Champion and 5 weight Champ he is about to face the Unified Jr MW Champ who is 14 years YOUNGER and at least 15 or more pounds heavier fight night….The man is on TOP of the game and the only thing that will get him is FATHER TIME… This is REALITYPosted September 5, 2013 4:14 pm
Blah Blah Blah Blah, we have seen ALL the top dogs beaten by guys who were LESSOR talents than those that Floyd Mayweather defeated… Martinez knocked out by Margo, Wlad Klits stopped by 3 guys with no historical greatness, Donaire defeated by a talented guy who served him on the strength of his Olympic pedigree because he ONLY had 12 fights…Vitali QUIT against a former LHW, and defeated by an OLD bloated ATG … Floyd Mayweather is facing a SLEW of younger highly ranked fighters with demonstrable ring accomplishments and the WHINING continues… Fact is prognosticating about who would have beat him is FRUITLESS because they DIDN'T… Last few fights a 4 weight titlist with one loss, 7 years younger, Cotto 3 weight Champ HOFER with then 2 losses one to the fighter of the decade the other avenged, Mosley 3 weight Champ HOFER coming off his biggest win in years, managed to hurt Floyd but then was DUSTED and CLOWNED for the duration… Ortiz 10 years younger and ALOT crazier facing Mayweather coming off a layoff…. NONE of these fighters took a GREAT boxer to defeat them during their rise Pacquiao included who lost to 2 nobodies before dropping another to the Great Morales and getting murdered by a damn near 40 year old Marquez who Floyd EMBARASSED and HUMILIATED I love Marquez but he would not look right facing Floyd for 30 million dollars….Posted September 5, 2013 4:11 pm

Floyd is the greatest boxer of this generation and this fight is a good fight. A heavier fighter who is the the champion of Jr Middle fighting Floyd, who is the champion of WW.

By the way, Steroids do not have anything to do with the psychological aspect of sports. Many other athletes have been on steroids and their performance has not been the greatest.
Mosley fought Vernon and exhibited the same behavioral patterns in the defeats with him as with Mayweather. The will to win is something that some people don't have. That is why I think Canelo might be at a disadvantage. Canelo has not fought any hard fights; he has never been put to the test and many people, including famous trainers, know that. In spite of everything, we both know that this is boxing and anything can happen in a second. On a different note, your first posting was hilarious. I keep reading it because it cracks me up. I don't know where you came up with all that stuff but you made my day.

Mayweather's survival SKILLS trumped Mosley's finishing SKILLS. SO Mosley's hopes went out the window. Thats why he QUIT. He knew he needed the knockout because he had no chance of out Boxing Floyd. When he saw that the knockout was not to be he chose to not get HIMSELF stopped by folding UP his own Offense.Posted September 5, 2013 2:53 am

Hidalgo is a GOOD Joke teller but I'm the GREATEST FACT stater when it comes to Boxing. The FACT is that Floyd is beating his 10th CHAMP in his last 12 Fights while Canelo is facing his 2nd CHAMP in his last 43. SO Floyd is CORRECT when he says that Canelo can't match his experience at THIS level….not to mention this is even above Championship level. This is Top 10 P4P level. Floyd is facing his 5th Top 10 P4P opponent in his last 7 Fights while Canelo is facing his First in his LIFE….Advantage Mayweather.Posted September 5, 2013 2:46 am
"however, when he fought Mosley, he earned some of my respect as an athlete. Mosley hit him hard! I think that Mosley was so surprised with the way Mayweather handled the punch that;"
Actually Dimelo73, Floyd draped over Mosley's arm and hung onto him like a leech on a warm body. The ref should have immediately broke them up so Mosley could swing some more. But it's said and done, Floyd recovered and handily won that fight. I didn't gain any respect for Mayweather from that fight but I lost a lot of respect for Mosley. He gave up. He quit. It was a little too fishy for my liking. Apparently Bernard Hopkins felt the same way because he said "Mosley quit" too.
See what happens when ya don't have your roids?Posted September 5, 2013 2:35 am
This fight is way too hyped up. Canelo is unbeaten and beaten who exactly? All this hype is due to Canelo being a white freckled face Mexican kid with red hair. Sure he has ability, but he has way too many questions to answer. Beating Lopez a smaller fighter with no defense or power didn't prove anything. Trout was a decent win, but Trout was never anything special. GBP and Mayweather Promotions are building up this fight well. They're trying to make Canelo as the next Chavez. Unless Canelo can put it all together, catch Mayweather in an exchange and have Floyd age over night, there's not much of a chance for him to win. He has no experience. I thought he had a chance earlier, but after seeing him on tape fighting his last three fights and stamina being an issue. I don't see him winning. There's too much to overcome. I'm pulling for Canelo to win, and I hope Floyd gets old quickly and knocked out, but it's a long shot. This could be a boring 12 round bore and a quick night for garcia or Mathysse.Posted September 5, 2013 12:29 am
I still can't see why people are giving Canello less of a chance then Cotto had, when the kid does nearly everything better then Cotto. Younger, faster, stronger, more powerful, throws better combos, has't been KTFO'd twice, better on defense, and offense, yep, he's gonna get beat worse then Cotto. This fight is gonna play out one of three ways, Canello by tko, or either guy by Split D.Posted September 4, 2013 11:39 pm
Many folks picked Rigo to win. Donaire was overrated. Floyd hurt his hand, when was the last time he hurt his hand? Been a lont time. Floyd by late round stoppage due to Canelos stamina issuesPosted September 4, 2013 11:11 pm
@ Titopa:
Thought I would say something positive about Alvarez after reading all the negative articles about him. Nothing against Mayweather but I'm going with the underdog in this one. No one gave Rigondeaux a chance against Donaire either. Oh by the way, did you know Mayweather has brittle hands? That he re-injured his right hand in the Guerrero fight and he's back in the ring 4 months later? Enjoy the fight.Posted September 4, 2013 11:06 pm
Remember when Margarito fought Paquiao? I thought Margarito was going to win but he didn't. I have never been a fan of Mayweather. I don't like the way he glamorizes things that we tell our kids not to do; however, when he fought Mosley, he earned some of my respect as an athlete. Mosley hit him hard! I think that Mosley was so surprised with the way Mayweather handled the punch that; immediately, doubt entered his mind and that was the beginning of the end for Mosley. Similarly, Pavlik did the same to Miranda and Taylor.
If Canelo hits Mayweather and he does not fall; then, this is what will make or break Canelo throughout the fight. Canelo needs to come to hit hard for 5 good rounds; then, make sure to maintain after that. I don't think Maywether could knock him out; however, I could be wrong. After all, I am most looking forward the fight before Mayweather and Canelo: Danny and Lucas.Posted September 4, 2013 10:37 pm

"THE OPPOSITION GROWS?!" FOR GODS SAKE GIVE ME A BREAK!! BIGGEST FIGHT HYPE OF ALL TIME!!!!Posted September 4, 2013 8:25 pm
"Canelo's opposition has been LESS than stellar." You can say this about some of Mayweather's opposition as well. It's just that media hype and loudmouth talk by the Mayweathers and GBP tend to influence us otherwise.
For instance, did you consider flake-brain head-butter Ortiz to be a "stellar" opponent? Grappling Guerrero? Roid-less Mosley? Loss-king, feather-fist Baldomir? How about two-sizes-smaller Marquez–you know, the little guy Floyd cheated on his weight with? And btw, Ortiz, Guerrero, and Marquez had a whopping total of 3 welterweight fights between them before facing Mayweather.
Now, Jr. has a 2-pound handicap working in his favor for his fight with Alvarez, in my book that takes a little shine off the "stellar" opponent he would otherwise be facing.
Mayweather's truly "stellar" opponents over the last seven years include battle-worn Cotto, aged Oscar de la Hoya, and undefeated (at the time) Ricky Hatton. You can throw Zab Judah in there too because when he fought Floyd he only had two losses on his record and those were against very fine fighters, one of which he later beat in a rematch by TKO.
Speaking of which, you want to know who's really fought a long list of stellar opponents? Zab Judah:
Danny Garcia
Floyd has fought a lot of "name" opponents but they weren't always at their "stellar" best when he fought them. They were just "big names."Posted September 4, 2013 7:54 pm

"Floyd also stated that he felt like he over trained for the fight."
Let's not make, or accept, too many excuses for Floyd's performance against Cotto. Fact is Cotto hurt him and Cotto made him work. Floyd can blame his uncle, over-training, or anything else he wants to blame. Even though Cotto lost he collected some of his dues from little Floyd. Besides, how many welterweight and jr. middleweight fights has Roger been Jr.'s corner vs. Sr.? Floyd won every fight with Roger. Roger wasn't the problem in the Cotto fight. Neither was Jr.s training regimen. Cotto was the problem.Posted September 4, 2013 7:10 pm
"My problem with that is that if he hasn't been able to fix his stamina issues by now, 40 something fights into his career he will never fix them."
Good point Peej, but Canelo can fix, or at least moderate, his stamina issues by moving up at least one weight division. He's been fighting small for a long time.
This 152lb. catchweight fight is really going to test him. He gassed out a bit in his fight with Trout. When he was questioned about that, he replied, "yeah, I took a couple of rounds off…I hadn't fought in nine months."
Actually, I thought Canelo took about four rounds off in his fight with Trout and in at least two of them, I thought he was looking around for a stool to sit on.
A young boxer who fights at the level he does shouldn't be having stamina issues. In his upcoming fight with Mayweather those two missing pounds may be the ones that "break the camel's back."
But like I said, Canelo could alleviate most of his stamina issues if he would fight in a heavier weight division. I think after he's through with Mayweather (whether it be one fight or a trilogy as DLH hints) he will move up to fight as a middleweight.Posted September 4, 2013 7:05 pm

While J.Gonzales goes tap, tap, bam, on Abner Mares, Floyd here will goes tap, tap, tap, and more tap on Alvarez. There will be no Bam here. And Alvarez doesnt have the skills nor the stamina to run after on Mayweather who will be on his bike for twelve rounds… and then tap when he got a chance.

I'm not underestimating Mayweather's ring skills. But don't overlook Alvarez's ability either. Mayweather didn't pick Alvarez as his next opponent, Alvarez demanded this fight with him. And he isn't a slow flat footed fighter with a stamina problem. I believe Mayweather will find Alvarez has a hard accurate jab, his pot shots countered, his clinches met with body blows, and his movement slowed by sweeping blows. Mayweather is 36 with brittle hands. He re-injured his hand last May in the Guerrero fight and 4 months later he's back in the ring with Alvarez.Posted September 4, 2013 4:58 pm

I'm talking about the substance of the stories in the leadup to this fight. From a journalistic point of view they're weak compared to other sports ahead of major events like the Super Bowl. It's like rinse/repeat at every site. The days of Michael Katz and Fast Eddie Schuyler are long gone and nobody stepped up. Reading those guys before a major fight was an experience.Posted September 4, 2013 4:52 pm
NO substance NEEDED in promotion. The Fight and the Co-main event are all the substance needed. SEE two Ring magazine Title Fights on the same card! WOW!!!! $75 is a STEAL. No gas no flight just hit the liquor store and put some food on the GRILL. Then call NIGHT!!! What more can you ASK for???? You have the BEST at 140, 147, and 154 all on the SAME card. What other card put the absolute BEST from 3 different weight classes all on the SAME card??? THIS is a historical event….. Its ELITE level entertainment. And that's ALL that I'm willing to PAY for.Posted September 4, 2013 4:45 pm

Ugh. So many stories pumping up the fight, none with any substance. This isn't a shot at this author in particular, it's all the boxing media and the hundreds of stories we're getting. How many times do we need to read the same old stuff? Find a new angle, do some digging, try to uncover new info.Posted September 4, 2013 4:31 pm

toosalty – I can care less about the bloody nose, Guerrero bloodied Floyd's nose, it only takes 5lbs of pressure to break someone's nose. I'm referring to ALL the shots Cotto was able to land, especially that well timed jab that had Floyd a bit confused. Overall, Cotto did VERY well against Floyd.Posted September 4, 2013 3:57 pm

I think mayweather felt bad for cotto after the beatdown margarito gave him. Cotto has suffered brain damage I can't blame mayweather for taken it easy on him. Canelo is fresh and in his prime but I guarantee you mayweather can hurt him if he isnt careful and is to reckless. WIll be a good fight to watch, will cancelo go for broke or be reduced to surviving the fight. I hope canelo has the heart of a lion and goes for broke and is willing to get ko to win but he may not want to take that kind of beating from mayweather to win. Time will tell.Posted September 4, 2013 3:23 pm
Cotto throws a jab with different veriety to it. Canelo throws the same jab. That is how Floyd was getting hit.Posted September 4, 2013 3:03 pm

Well I think that SA is able to land the same type of shots on FMJ that MC did.Posted September 4, 2013 2:57 pm
Canelo dont have the boxing skill as cotto did/does. So he will not do what Cotto did, which was not much, i mean FM gets a bloody nose and YALL think cotto did something. He is FM not Superman.

This is going to be like Martinez vs Chavez Jr., except Canelo will probably have better/more moments early on, I can already hear the "oohs and ahhs" the moment Floyd's back is against the ropes as Canelo swings.Posted September 4, 2013 1:23 pm
KOrnerman – Yes, Floyd did stand in the pocket more against Cotto, but you have to give Cotto respect, I believe Cotto did so well due to his great experience and overall boxing skills, HE made the fight hard for Floyd, his timing was ON POINT throughout most of the bout. I feel Floyd is gonna have a MUCH easier time with Canelo.Posted September 4, 2013 1:21 pm
Plus with a few fights left on his contract there's no need to be taking unnecessary punishment, I just hope its not as one sided as the Guererro fight, that was a one horse race wasn't it.Posted September 4, 2013 1:17 pm
As did I. Floyd also stated that he felt like he over trained for the fight. Which isn't hard to believe since he is always training. When his father came back he actually let Floyd know when he needed to rest and not push so hard. And that showed in the Guerrero fight.Posted September 4, 2013 1:14 pm
And I still think Money deliberately stood in front of Cotto for exitement factor and made it a much harder fight than need be, I think Canelo will give him a lot more trouble than Cotto, you'll see lolPosted September 4, 2013 1:11 pm
Yeh good point, if he does gas he's in deep s*it, here's hoping the new nutritionist has worked wonders, Hatton never had one till late on his career and he reckons it made a big difference to him.Posted September 4, 2013 1:10 pm

As do I. Mosley had a minute of success and to all the Floyd haters that is something. Judah had 2 rounds of success and they where all excited about that and said it showed something. Cotto bloodied his nose and that was exceptional. Oscar had success with the jab for a few rounds then Floyd adjusted and that is now the blueprint on how to beat Floyd. Castillo had some success in the first fight and then clearly out boxed in the 2nd fight but yet he also has the blueprint on how to beat Floyd.Posted September 4, 2013 11:44 am

What happened after which round? Mosley knocked Floyd around for two rounds. What happened after that is the 39 year old Mosley ran out of steam. He punched himself out going for the stoppage. That was his only chance against a younger superior boxer. After that Floyd failed to stop his exhausted and shot opponent. UD as usual, not this time. This time he gets stopped or robbed, but he loses.Posted September 4, 2013 11:08 am

Vanderbilt focus on recruitment in California, West yields positive results
There was a time in the not-so-distant past when Vanderbilt University attracted only modest interest from students living west of the Mississippi River — Texas notwithstanding.
Though the university's student body during the 1980s and 1990s likely was more diverse, in terms of U.S. state representation, than was Nashville's general population, the VU numbers nonetheless revealed a certain uniformity.
But a combination of a more mobile American populace, Nashville's elevated national profile and Vanderbilt's concerted efforts to expand its recruiting reach has dramatically altered the student demographics at the West End corridor- based institution.
"It was a strategic measure," Douglas Christiansen, VU vice provost for enrollment management, said of an effort that began in the mid-2000s and has seen substantial results.
For example, in 2008 Vanderbilt saw 870 prospective students living in California apply for admission. In 2013, that number was 2,391, a 174 percent increase.
"We wanted to enhance our draw, not only in California but in the whole West," said Christiansen (pictured), who arrived at VU in 2006. "We started numerous programs in 2007 and 2008. It was very purposeful."
In what the school calls the "Western region," from 2008 to 2013, student applications increased 157 percent — from 1,420 to 3,655. By comparison, in 2008 Vanderbilt had approximately 17,000 applicants overall. In 2013, that number rose to more than 31,000, an increase of about 82 percent.
Christiansen said VU "employed much more of a pipeline development strategy" with in- creased emphasis on admissions officers working the West Coast, college fairs, a fly-in program (through which VU hosts high school guidance counselors) and the buying of names of those students who take the Pre-SAT test (after which, VU places the names on a recruiting list).
"We are helping make a better fit for those [Western region] students who didn't know about us previously," Christiansen said.
Vanderbilt is not alone, as many of the city's other four-year universities have seen increases in interest from students in the West.
For example, Belmont University had 73 Californians apply for admission in 2010, with 20 who eventually enrolled, according to Michael Waters, associate director of admissions. In 2011, applications increased to 114; in 2012, to 166; and in 2013, to 212.
At Lipscomb University, applications from California-based students are up 63 percent compared to the number from this time last year. And LU is up 22 percent in the number of students who have been accepted/admitted from California compared to this time last year.
"Over the last couple of years, we have strategically increased our visibility in and marketing to prospective students in California, among other western states," said Rick Holaway, LU senior director of admissions. "We have focused on identifying students who are good candidates for us in those areas and have developed a strategic communication and marketing campaign to target them. We have also seen similar growth in the western states in general, particularly in Arizona, Oregon and Washington."
At Tennessee State University, California-based student applications for the 2013-14 academic year are up by 19 percent compared to the numbers for the 2012-13 year, according to Richard DelaHaya, the university's director of media relations.
One theory as to why the Nashville-area universities are seeing such interest from Californians centers on the fact that in many cases attending out-of-state institutions does not cost much more for the students than attending public universities in their home state.
California or not, university student recruitment has become a business of sorts, with branding, budgets and target strategies all in mix. And at Vanderbilt, that business has been elevated in recent years.
VU's Christiansen said the university remains strong in its recruitment of students from the South, Mid-Atlantic, New England and Texas. As to specific numbers for the class that enrolled last fall, 9.5 percent of the students are from Tennessee, which has the highest representation. Other states with significant representation included, alphabetically, Georgia, Illinois, New York and Texas.
Whether California eventually cracks Vanderbilt's "top five" is uncertain. Regardless, Christiansen said VU is having success with its student recruitment and admission efforts, noting that roughly 13 percent of the students who applied for the 2013-14 academic year will be admitted.
"This admit rate will put us approximately in the top 15 for selectivity in the nation," he said.

UPDATE: Electronics stolen during Placer High School roof break-in
Auburn police suspect thieves broke into Placer High School and allegedly stole three projectors and two laptops sometime between Monday night and Tuesday morning, when it was reported, said Auburn Police Chief John Ruffcorn.
They allegedly entered through a tower that led to one classroom and broke a window to access another area, Placer High School Principal Peter Efstathiu said.
"Apparently they came in an old bell tower, broke into the access hatch and came down that way," Efstathiu said. "That's what we assume, because it looks like that's what they did."
The alleged thieves took about $5,000 worth of equipment from Spanish and French rooms in the school's foreign language wing as well as an agriculture classroom, Efstathiu said.
The stolen laptops belonged to teachers, he said.
"Several students obviously were upset because it's equipment that was used for them, and I think they're bummed that their space they use for 90 minutes a day got violated as it did," Efstathiu said. "The teachers themselves had to readjust a lesson plan they had in place."
It is not known at this time how many individuals were involved with the break-in. Auburn police were still investigating the incident Tuesday afternoon, and no arrests had been made, Ruffcorn said.
"Essentially one of our teachers came to school this morning and noticed that her LCD projector that is used for classroom instruction and hooks to her computer had been taken, and upon further investigation, a few minutes afterward we noticed a window had been broken in a classroom that adjoins hers, and that teacher's projector has been taken as well," Efstathiu said. "As another teacher arrived to school, she noticed her projector and computers had been taken from her classroom."
The computers had been taken from the agricultural classroom, he said.
"The teachers do their work on there," Efstathiu said. "They do their grading and attendance on there. Thankfully, that process is done through an online program, so there isn't any information on there for that."
Students with information on the stolen equipment can contact Assistant Principal Steve Caminiti or Efstathiu, and flyers with details on a tip hotline will be displayed around the school, Efstathiu said. More information on the hotline was not available from the school Tuesday.
The building containing the bell tower formerly had been a theater on the old Sierra College campus, Efstathiu said. Currently, the tower is only used by custodians performing maintenance, he said.
"The school is going to have to figure out how to get some funds to order that equipment again," Efstathiu said. "In the meantime, they will make do and be flexible to keep up with the instruction of their classroom."

Hello Team!
I just love your plugin! It is awesome, and I really like it! I was wondering if it could be possible to allow for pagiation within the FAQ?
For example:
I have a site with 50 FAQ questions. I want them all displayed, limiting it to 10 FAQ per page. At the bottom of the first 10 FAQ, there would be pagiation with page 2 showing another 10 FAQs, and so on and so forth...
This would be really good, especial with those sites that have alot of FAQ per topic.
Thank you so much for putting the time and effort into making this plugin. I personally, greatly appreciate it!
