Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea
And so it comes to this.
It's sad and I feel ashamed. You see, I'm Indian and when I first came to America many moons ago, I was a simple, naive, trusting kind of guy. Sure, I stank of curry and some other weird smell - us Indians cant figure that one out. but then I got by.
Until I discovered CL...
CL introduced me to the art of bartering, free stuff, books, casual encounters, w4m, m4m and finally, the devil of them all - the rant and raves section. Next thing you know, as time went by I changed...
Gone is the dumbass expression on my face or the deer in the headlights look I used to have when I saw anything out of the ordinary. Instead now after the CL experience, what has happened is :
1. I call people for free stuff but dont show up. I dont even bother to call em up as a courtesy. Ditto for actual purchases. I just dont care if they left work early to make sure they're at home or whatever. I just dont care.
2. I've started using words like fucktard and assclown and the latest, turd burglar.
3. Everytime I see a chick I'm wondering if her pussy farts when she gets it on with her guy or whether she spits or swallows. If she's with a black guy, I'm wondering if her pussy's stretched. Hell, I even start wondering if the black guy she's with is well hung (Fuck!)
4. If I see a fat chick, automatically my whole being fights the urge to shout out the word 'seacow' to the fat chick, and then run away like a cowardly bitch in heat.
5. If I see a single 30 years plus woman shopping, I wonder how many cats she has at home, the kind of books she reads and whether she's shopping for batteries for her rabbit. I also wonder if she's dating a younger guy.
6. I am currently dating an older woman who is so insatiable that I have to take red bull while getting it on with her just to keep up. I insist that the bitch swallow. She insists that I give good lip-service downstairs.
7. After the feedback on CL, I've trimmed and ordered the bitch to trim too - which she has.
8. I fought it but couldn't help it and despite trying to be as hip as possible I've now become (GASP!) a Red Sox fan. Damn, I just bought a 'You've been foulked' T shirt the other day.
9. I might be gay. Note the GASP & the exclaimation mark in the previous line. Why is my shirt so tight today? (mumbles to self - need to work out longer hours at the gym). Fuck, if I see well dressed guys I wonder how much they like to get it in the ass.
10. Sometimes I get into moods and think that Kerry rocks then I remember the his flip flops, and decide that Bush is ok then I remember what he looks like and decide that perhaps, I'll just be apolitical.
11. I've started pining for a g#*& account and have started asking people if they have invites.
12. On the T these days, I've actually becme proactive and push little old asian ladies before they even baord the train. As the little old lady falls in a heap, I smile diabolically and give her that "How do you like me now" look! Then I grab a seat and dont offer pregnant women and old people a seat.
13. I think that all Indians stink and are closet burger eaters, all the asians drive badly, all the whites are sexual perverts, all the blacks call each other nigger and all the arabs are terrorists.
14. I look for jerk off possiblities at work. Under the desk, near the coffee machine (when noone's looking), restroom, shed in the corner and what-have-you.
15. Finally, I've actually spent quality work time and written the above bullshit and subconciously I'm hoping that you dipshits will nominate this for 'best of'.
I hate you CL. You have corrupted me, and then you sold out. Man, I even use deodorant to hide the damn smell. Gone are the non-materialistic, spiritual and broad-minded philiopsophical days of my life. Instead, like a heroin addict I get on to CL every day and let the deviant, perverted and twisted minds guide me on the treacherous journey called life.
Help me!

Marmaduke Reviews
Marmaduke, the world's most lovable Great Dane, leaps from comic strip fame (appearing in 600 newspapers in over 20 countries) to big screen stardom in this family comedy event. A suburban family moves to a new neighborhood in Orange County, California with their large yet lovable Great Dane, who has a tendency to wreak havoc in his own oblivious way. But its not all living large for the Duke, who finds that fitting in with his new four-legged friends - and a potential romantic interest - isn't always easy for a super-sized teenage dog. Owen Wilson gives the beloved Great Dane his voice in the film, which also features the voices of Fergie, George Lopez, Emma Stone and Kiefer Sutherland.
The film is narrated by our title character Marmaduke (Owen Wilson). He's a big, pain in the ass dog. Wait! Owen Wilson in a movie about a big, pain in the ass dog? Never seen that one before. His family moves to California and Marmaduke hangs out at a dog park, becomes a big shot, falls, has a party, and ends up bringing everything together in the end.
Now dog movies are usually not good to begin with. Marmaduke takes the definition of bad and re creates it into something that was never intended by man or machine. I know it's a kids movie, but come on. The plot is just terrible. There is a surfing competition AND dogs playing a dancing video game. And where are all the other owners? The only people in this dog park appear to be Marmadukes owner and William H. Macy. Why did you do it William H. Macy!?!?! They have a garage filled with electronics equipment? It's seems as if they just took pieces of ideas and pasted them all together. With dung.
If you are into brainlessly staring at the screen for 88 minutes this is the film for you. Any film would be the film for you. In closing, it sucks.
They used George Lopez's name in this movie like he was going to be one of the main characters or some important character, & he wasn't. And don't get me started on the cgi used for the talking animals.
Plot/Story: Do I have to even say what this movie is about? It's about a talking dog who travels to a different state, & then tries to make new friends. Talk about unoriginal & cliche. Oh but wait, that's not even the start.
The main character (Marmaduke) can't make friends with the popular/pedigree/higher ranked dogs because they bully him or because he won't fit in, so instead, he makes friends with a lesser group of dogs also being outcasts. But wait, there's more. Marmaduke tries to impress the popular dogs (and a certain female dog) by doing things popular dogs would do. Oh, & did I mention he was trying to mainly impress the head dog's girlfriend, the head dog being a tough, & mean pincer? Oh but that's the least of it.
Marmaduke later on becomes part of the popular crew because he faked an attack on his best friend, the cat. During that, his old outcast friends, now dissed because he forgot about them feel abandoned. The female of the outcast group, now feels alone & such, because she loved him as she helped him fit in with them, only to later on be left for another, higher female dog. Marmaduke later on realizes how wrong he was for leaving his real friends behind & the female dog who really loved him for who he really was. Talk about corny & unoriginal & cliche all a once.
Cast/Acting/Characters: All of the characters in here are as the plot, cliche & unoriginal. Mamaduke is an annoying, & idiotic dog played by the guy I really can't stand, Owen Wilson. The rest of the cast members playing the animals are no better. The acting in this movie by it's cast, even the ones who were human, were all terrible. The only names you will recognize here in this movie are the ones playing the animals, except for William H. Macy. The rest of the cast are either no names or forgettable.
Effects: The effects in this movie are no better than everything else. The cgi whent the dogs talked looked cheesy & horribly done, especially Marmaduke (he looked like Scooby-Doo on some moments). But the worst effects happenned when Marmaduke did completely crazy things other, normal dogs wouldn't do (such as when he danced & surfed like a human).
Dialogue: The dialogue in here is not only corny, but laughable as well. They say the same thing other movies have said when it comes to learning a lesson.
Soundtrack: The only thing I give this movie credit for. It had some great, memorable songs.
Final summation, this movie sucks, ass. It's unoriginal, corny, & cliche on so many levels. No little kid should be tortured to watch this, let alone even the whole family.
I have read the comics page every single day since I was 10. I am turning 21 next month. Don't laugh.
So I know relatively well the ins and outs of many comics. I was never a big fan of Marmaduke, but I knew enough about it to know that a movie based on the comic was a really stupid idea. Let's break it down into a few easy reasons as to why a movie should have never even been thought up or green lighted, never mind fully created.
1) MARMADUKE DOES NOT TALK. Period. He does not utter one word, or one thought bubble. See, Marmaduke works like Family Circus: One panel (most of the time, sometimes once in a new moon the one panel would be divided by two) with a caption at the bottom. That was the purpose of Marmaduke's owners; a usual American family that would complain about Marmaduke's shenanigans, thus creating the jokes that all pet lovers could relate to. Marmaduke doesn't say one stinking word, and just reading the poster and seeing that "Owen Wilson plays as Marmaduke" already sets this movie for a disaster.
2) THE COMIC WAS ONLY ONE PANEL. Yeah, where the hell are you going to come up with an hour and a half movie from this? Every day, there would be one panel to start and resolve a story. Like I said, rarely twice, but that still doesn't cover more than a minute in terms of a movie. But you can say "oh, Andy, all they have to do is combine many of these comics and make a movie about Marmaduke's shenanigans", to which I reply "if you put together many different unrelated stories into one, you should not be making movies". With this I ask, how the hell are these guys making movies?
3) MARMADUKE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FART JOKES. I didn't say little. I didn't say few instances. NOTHING. Nowhere in Marmaduke was there ever a slew of scat jokes. This is almost as bad as the Cat In The Hat when it comes to destroying a childhood for many people around the world. Marmaduke was a clean innocent comic, and these morons destroyed its 53 years of running by saying "Hey, it's not good enough. Let's make it more "catered" to the audiences of today". With a 10% tomato meter reading, I now know that I am not the only one that agrees that these "film makers" are nothing more than garbage, who should stick to the original source and not be moronic. I must ask, why do all of these "film makers" feel that jokes about flatulence and urination are absolutely essential in family comedies (or just comedies period)? NO ONE CARES FOR THIS CRAP ANYMORE. No pun intended.
4)MARMADUKE DOESN'T BEFRIEND CATS. I actually think he may have been scared of them in the comic. Again, animals do not talk in the comic, so hiring the "I-think-I'm-Funny" man George Lopez to be the cat was another stupid idea.
I could go on and on and on about how much this movie is stupid, but I just can't cover enough ground. This is one of the worst movies I have seen in ages. It surpasses Garfield AND its unnecessary pathetic sequel which is really saying a lot. They destroyed my childhood with Garfield, and they may have put people into asylums with Marmaduke. It starts off with a fart joke, and that's when you know that all these people are doing are treating you like idiots. Simple, stupid idiots. They show no effort in treating you, the audience, like human beings. And poor William H Macy. He got dragged into this pile of trash. He was probably a fan of the comic himself and he wanted to be a part of something special. What he got into is a movie that is so unlikeable that I can barely even recall what it was about. It's kind of hard when the plot is not there.
Marmaduke does not deserve the 10% it's been getting. It is damaging to watch. It is stupid and absolutely forgettable. I'm surprised I made it out of the theater alive, either from how harmful this movie is, or from being so bored that I tried to catch fuzzy peaches in my mouth (and almost choked a number of times, to which I say "dammit, so close to not having to watch this"). This movie isn't worth the ticket I paid for it. If these imbeciles don't throw in the towel now, they really are more stupid than we all thought.
Final Rating: 0.5/10
Keep An Eye Out For: Some really sad voice overs. I say sad because I feel awful that they have this on their resume: Fergie, Keifer Sutherland, the Wayans Brothers, and more, are now scarred for life with this in their lists.
Owen Wilson is great as the voice of Marmaduke. Emma Stone, George Lopez, and Kiefer Sutherland provided great voice work in the film. Lee Pace reminds me of Clive Owen.
Cute kids movie that played heavily on puns. My niece and nephew laughed a lot through this one. Owen Wilson's voice seemed perfect for Marmaduke. I agree with Daryl, the doggie dance scene at the end was terrific.
There's never a moment where we see Marmaduke where he's not talking. While the CGI for scenes where the dogs dance is just horribly done. There's something wrong when Marmaduke makes Garfield look like a good movie based on a comic strip.

It's Not a Small World after All
Everyone has a story that proves how small our world has become. Sherry once ran into a former colleague she worked with in Washington, D.C., and hadn't seen in years in a Moscow department store. Mark bumped into a classmate whom he hadn't seen for years from his university located in South Bend, Indiana, on the steps of Sacre-Coeur in Paris. When a chance encounter like this occurs, when we see someone who lives close to home in a place so far away, we all have a tendency to exclaim, "What a small world!"
Yet, these chance encounters aside, the reality is that it's not a small world after all. Rather, the world of the individual has simply grown enormously. Each of us is coping with so much more information today than ever before. Most of us encounter far more people and places than our grandparents ever dreamed about. When we are transported by the Internet, television, or cell phone to other countries and continents, we are not any closer to these places than we were before. Instead, the size of our individual world, measured by the amount of information and experiences we have access to, has grown exponentially.
The consequence of this for your job search and career development is that there are more roads than ever before that you can take. There is so much more information available to help you learn about those avenues. One of the realizations we came to during our collaboration on this book is just how huge the world of the job seeker has become, how much information is out there for you to sift through and evaluate. While editing the lists of resources contained in part II, we found ourselves amazed by the sheer volume of it all. Career websites and books, job boards and search engines, long lists of organizations, more acronyms than you could ever care to decipher—the amount of information was daunting. And we are the first to admit that the information contained in this

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu a remedy that instills confidence and promotes healthy habits in order to stay young and fit for a long time. It is a sport that was developed in Japan during and adopted inBrazil as a form of self-defense empowering those with smaller bodies being able to defend themselves from bullies and thieves.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu keeps oneself healthy with the diet you have to follow when practicing. Most people that started training BJJ only thought of it as just a way of getting a quick fix on defending yourself, but it has proven that it does more than teaching one to defend themselves, it has plenty more benefits that not only the eye can see, but what the individual would feel and learn during the course of training. BJJ is not an easy sport to master hence one would need physical and mental fitness in order to achieve. BJJ would drill you to be patient and be a goal getter no matter what obstacles you might endure during training. One would learn to embrace his/her weaknesses and learn how to turn them into strengths.
A friend of mine who travelled to Brazil for a year was a bit overweight and never used to mind what he eats or drinks, but he came back a month ago he was totally a different person he was lean and particular about what he puts into his body, when I asked him what happened to him, he simply said "Jiu Jitsu happened my friend and should try it you will reap rewards". In its own way Jiu-Jitsu isn't just a sport it a way of living, it engraves discipline in you as I have noticed how it changed my friend for better. With BJJ one learns to push him/herself even harder and with BJJ you will definitely notice that power of working hard.
With BJJ just physical fitness isn't enough, you would have to be mentally fit, as you would take a long time to master all the moves that are involved in the sport. Hence it could also be practiced with your family at home; it is a sport that you could enjoy with your family whilst instilling confidents, promoting good habits within your home.
Jiu-Jitsu improves lives in a number of ways not only to mention the obvious ones such as health and being fit physically, it motivates people to improve outside the athletic life, it becomes a framework through people can learn and understand the world bringing calmness and happiness in life. It a way of reliving stress, once one enters the training, high level concentration is required, hence all that life stress is left by the entrance, thus after a tiresome day you could just walk into the gym and all that stress just vanishes into thin air.

Also, after you're done with the work and you've jacked it back up and pulled the jack stands out, does that mean you run the risk of dropping the car 12 inches, sending it crashing to the floor? how would that be acceptable?

Teaching and Learning
The strategic use of information technology has the ability to transform teaching and learning helping institutions realize EDUCAUSE's mission of "transforming education through information technologies." All institutions have made educating learners a critical priority. Technology is a means, not an end, toward that goal.
EDUCAUSE focuses on understanding learners, aligning learning principles and practices together and integrating learning technology—all with the goal of improving student success. EDUCAUSE members also benefit from tools and techniques that enable them to deliver high quality academic programs and support services in a flexible manner. The strategic use of information technology can enhance student engagement, improve access, and make services more convenient. As IT is integrated into the academic enterprise, a number of other issues are raised such as financing, policies, faculty involvement, and assessment.
We encourage you to explore EDUCAUSE's resources on teaching and learning. These include the work of our members as well as material contributed from EDUCAUSE's strategic initiative, the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative. We hope you will find the material of use and encourage you to contribute to future EDUCAUSE activities in teaching and learning.

Dish (DISH) responds to SoftBank's (SFTBF.PK) higher offer for Sprint (S) simply by stating it will review its options. Paulson & Co. (7%+ stake in Sprint) backs SoftBank's revised bid, which goes to a vote on June 25. The new offer increases the cash given to Sprint investors to $5.50/share from $4.02/share, raises SoftBank's offer price for investor shares to $7.65 from $7.30, and raises the price of SoftBank's $1.9B investment in Sprint to $6.25/share from $5.25/share. But it also gives SoftBank a 78% stake (up from 70%), and $3B of the extra $4.5B in investor cash is being diverted from Sprint. Clearwire (CLWR) remains a wild card for both sides.

There is no way Dish can compare to SoftBank's offer, whether previously or even now, Dish is buried in Debt and does not have the experience or access to the technology required to keep pace with the constant changes of the wireless industry. Charlie would be much better off to seek a partnership with Softbank.

I recently heard about this product and although I was hesitant, decided to try it out. It is very expensive, and I don't find the scent to be over-whelming at all (as many people seem to be describing it).
Initially, I was worried about the scent too because in the past I have used some Garnier products with very strong scents. I was surprised that this product does not leave my hair greasy, and helps it feel more conditioned and manageable. I have hair that can be incredibly frizzy and this has not fixed that but I would imagine that it could be the fix for someone with hair not quite as crazy as mine.
I really do enjoy using this product and have been using it everyday. I think it is a great addition to my routine.

I too find great luck with Garnier Fructis products, and I love the signature scent :) The quality is excellent for the price. I used to spend alot of money on salon brand haircare, but on a single salary (family lives on), I cannot do that right now...I don't like a lot of drugstore brand hair product lines, except Fructis and Renpure. Now that the weather's cooling off, I was looking for a good inexpensive leave-in cond., sans silicones (very drying) and formulated with natural oil(s). I loved the new packaging (typography, design) of the new bottle and for $4, not a gamble. I use this on damp hair, comb through, put up in a loose chignon. I like this product much better than Sebastian Potion 9.
EDIT 11/12/11: After using this product for several weeks now, it is too heavy for my fine hair. I'm finding much smaller (gumball size) is the best amount, certainly not the "quarter-size" they say!!!

I use to use this in high school, it did nothing for my hair!
The scent was sweet and fruity which was pleasant, but it was quiet strong. After about 1hr, the scent was soo overwhelming that my head was starting to ache, and once it does that it, the head ache stays through out the day.
This oddly enough make my hair very sticky, like I've got shampoo still left in my hair, no shine whatsoever.
The scent to this day still haunts me and I havent touched a bottle of this in like 5 years.

My hair: Extremely frizzy hair, frizzes up imediately in humidity, dry, a bit lackluster, and pretty dry ends.
I don't use heat on my hair, haven't for a year. But my hair is still partially damaged from highlighting and coloring my hair, it felt like straw....I have cut my hair 3 times to get rid of dead ends but my ends are still kinda dry
First use: It felt like I put nothing in my hair, I regretted buying this.
Second use: OMG!, This is amazing! My hair is noticably less frizzy, don't know about the humidity thing, makes my hair UBER SOFT!, De-puffed my hair or is sleeker and shinier! I love it! Def repurchase,
Whatever, the product is what matters...tho sometimes I squirt too much :P and have to open the top to pour it back in. and I've noticed when you close it some comes out but I've dealt with products with the same top so I can deal with it.
It was like3 dollars!

This is pretty amazing stuff. My thick, wavy hair is usually very unresponsive to most product and tends to do it's own thing. The sleek and shine leave in conditioner moisturizes my hair and styles it as well. I won't put it on everyday as a styling product though because it builds up a lot. I love the fresh scent of this product and I did like the effect it had when applied on wet hair and then blow-dried. I also like to just apply it to wet hair and let it dry naturally. It still gives a little bounce but also leaves shiny with a bit of wave in it. It also keeps your hair more conditioned and manageable.
However, applied to dry hair, Garnier Fructis Leave-In Conditioning Cream, left my hair limp and lifeless. I didn�t like the effect at all.

I thought this was great...until I tried bumble and bumble. I have used this for over a year and stopped when I could no longer find it in stores. It provides moisture. It's average and gets the job done. This is one of those products that I'm not in love with but would return to and always know I can count on it when need be. As far as drugstore leave in conditioners, this is definitely one of the best. If you are on the hunt for new leave in cream that's budget friendly, I reccomend this.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Acne-prone, Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
This is a good leave in conditioner. Some leave in conditioners say you can put it in your hair wet or dry but then it'll get hard in your hair when it's wet or vice versa and all that stuff. This one, you can apply wet or dry and it softens either way! It keeps my wavyish thick hair frizz free! One bottle can last you a year! It has for me! You don't have to use much because if you do, you'll get greasy feeling hair, so be careful!

it was okay, made my hair feel a little soft sometines. just wont be buying again
Age: 18 & Under

This product really does make my hair have that flowy 'waterfall-ish' effect which I liked however its still a 'meh' product. It smells good and very light but it didn't change my life or anything like that. After a while I was just waiting for it to get over cause didn't make a difference to my hair.
If you have curly frizzy hair than don't buy this because it doesnot offer the extreme moisture you are looking for. Would I repurchase? Meh not really.
Feel free to check out my reviews on other hair care products and let me know if this review was helpful or not :)

This was $3 at my local Wal-Mart when I got it almost two years ago. Although I don't use it everyday, it's only halfway done.
This leave-in conditioner (plus the anti-frizz serum from the same collection, sleek and shine) is my secret to super soft hair. A lot of people ask me how I get my hair so soft, and they never believe me when I tell them that the product I use is only $3.
I take showers at night, and put this in my hair from my neck and down, once it's 90% dry. Then I put in the anti-frizz serum, go to sleep, and in the morning my hair's super soft.

Quarterly Report
Forward Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are subject to the "safe harbor" created by those sections. Forward-looking statements are based on our management's beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. All statements other than statements of historical facts are "forward-looking statements" for purposes of these provisions, including any projections or earnings. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "should," "will," "would" and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause our actual results, performance, time frames or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, time frames or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We discuss many of these risks, uncertainties and other factors in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in greater detail under the heading "Risk Factors." Given these risks, uncertainties and other factors, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Also, these forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this filing. You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We hereby qualify our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements publicly, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.
Safe Harbor
In the following discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition, certain financial measures may be considered "non-GAAP financial measures" under Securities and Exchange Commission rules. These rules require supplemental explanation and reconciliation, which is provided in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We believe presenting non-GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders, non-GAAP net income per share attributable to common stockholders and non-GAAP operating income is useful to investors, because it describes the operating performance of the Company and helps investors gauge the Company's ability to generate cash flow, excluding some recurring charges that are included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We use these non-GAAP measures as important indicators of our past performance and in planning and forecasting performance in future periods. The non-GAAP financial information we present may not be comparable to similarly-titled financial measures used by other companies, and investors should not consider non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or in substitution for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP.
We are a leading provider of internet services for small- to medium-sized businesses, or SMBs and a global domain name registrar. We seek to meet the internet needs of SMBs anywhere along their lifecycle with affordable subscription solutions including domain name registration, website design and related services, search engine optimization, search engine marketing, social media and mobile products, local sales leads, eCommerce solutions and call center services. We offer SMBs a single point of entry to an array of effective, affordable online products and services that will help drive their business. The breadth and flexibility of our offerings allow us to address the web services needs of a wide variety of customers, ranging from those just establishing their websites to those that want to enhance their existing online presence with more sophisticated marketing and lead generation services. We offer our customers a full range of web services and products on an affordable subscription basis. With nearly 3 million subscribers as of September 30, 2012, we are one of the industry's largest providers of domain names, affordable web services and products that enable SMBs to have an effective online presence.
We have positioned ourselves as a partner to SMBs across all phases of their business's adaptation to internet technology, from their initial entry onto the web to their use of cutting-edge innovations as they mature. As a domain registrar, we allow the business to establish an online presence by buying a domain name. This basic service is the entry point to higher priced offerings. Having secured a domain, a business next needs a website and email service. Our offerings for these fundamental services span the range of customer budgets and expertise, from inexpensive Do It Yourself website and email hosting for the technically-savvy, to Do It For Me custom website design services, online marketing and eCommerce solutions. Customers can engage our experienced consultants for services that range from web design to online advertising campaign management. When online innovations emerge, we can help SMBs leverage the new capabilities.
On October 27, 2011, we completed the acquisition of Network Solutions, a provider of domain names, web hosting and online marketing services. The purchase price paid to the Sellers was approximately $569.0 million consisting of $405.1 million in cash and the issuance of 18 million shares of Web.com common stock valued at $9.16 per share. In connection with the acquisition, the Company assumed the obligation to pay approximately $211.7 million of outstanding debt of Network Solutions and paid off such liabilities at closing with borrowings from the Company's new credit facilities, and assumed certain other liabilities. See Note 7 to the Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K filed on March 13, 2012 with the SEC. With approximately 2 million subscribers acquired, Network Solutions represents a substantial cross- and up-sell opportunity for us. We determined that the operations of Network Solutions are considered Web products and services and therefore, no change to our operating segment resulted. See Note 3, Business Combinations, for additional information on the acquisition.
We sell our products and services via our direct sales force, which operates in the U.S. and Canada. In addition to these sales centers, we acquire many customers through online and affiliate marketing activities. Recently, we rolled out a "Feet on the Street" direct sales initiative, a Direct Response Television, or DRTVcampaign and entered into certain brand-oriented sponsorship programs. We also sell web services and products to customers identified by companies with which it has strategic marketing relationships. Typically, our strategic marketing partners have established brand names and attract a large number of SMB customers. We also acquire a large number of customers directly through online and affiliate marketing activities that target SMBs that want to establish or enhance their online presence.
To increase our revenue and take advantage of our market opportunity, we plan to expand our subscriber base as well as further our cross-sell/up-sell strategy with our domain name customers from Network Solutions and Register.com LP. We intend to continue to hire additional personnel, particularly in outbound and inbound sales and marketing; develop additional services and products; add to our infrastructure to support our growth; and expand our operational and financial systems to manage our growing business. As we have in the past, we will continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities to increase the value and breadth of our Web services and product offerings, and expand our subscriber base.
Key Business Metrics
Management periodically reviews certain key business metrics to evaluate the effectiveness of our operational strategies, allocate resources and maximize the financial performance of our business. These key business metrics include:
Net Subscriber Additions
We maintain and grow our subscriber base through a combination of adding new subscribers and retaining existing subscribers. We define net subscriber additions in a particular period as the gross number of new subscribers added during the period, less subscriber cancellations during the period. For this purpose, we only count as new subscribers those customers whose subscriptions have extended beyond the free trial period. Additionally, we do not treat a subscription as cancelled, even if the customer is not current in their payments, until either we have made numerous attempts to contact the subscriber or 60 days have passed since the most recent failed billing attempt, whichever is sooner. In any event, a subscriber's account is cancelled if payment is not received within approximately 80 days.
We review this metric to evaluate whether we are performing to our business plan. An increase in net subscriber additions could signal an increase in subscription revenue, higher customer retention, and an increase in the effectiveness of our sales efforts. Similarly, a decrease in net subscriber additions could signal decreased subscription revenue, lower customer retention, and a decrease in the effectiveness of our sales efforts. Net subscriber additions above or below our business plan could have a long-term impact on our operating results due to the subscription nature of our business.
Monthly Turnover (Churn)
Monthly turnover, or churn, is a metric we measure each quarter, and which we define as customer cancellations in the quarter divided by the sum of the number of subscribers at the beginning of the quarter and the gross number of new subscribers added during the quarter, divided by three months. Customer cancellations in the quarter include cancellations from gross subscriber additions, which is why we include gross subscriber additions in the denominator. In measuring monthly turnover, we use the same conventions with respect to free trials and subscribers who are not current in their payments as described above for net subscriber additions. Monthly turnover is the key metric that allows management to evaluate whether we are retaining our existing subscribers in accordance with our business plan. An increase in monthly turnover may signal deterioration in the quality of our service, or it may signal a behavioral change in our subscriber base. Lower monthly turnover signals higher customer retention.
Average Revenue per Subscriber
Average revenue per subscriber, or ARPU, is a metric we measure on a quarterly basis. We define ARPU as quarterly subscription revenue divided by the average of the number of subscribers at the beginning of the quarter and the number of subscribers at the end of the quarter, divided by three months. We exclude from subscription revenue the impact of the fair value adjustments to deferred revenue resulting from acquisition-related write downs. The fair market value adjustment was $18.4 million and $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, and $69.0 million and $12.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. ARPU is the key metric that allows management to evaluate the impact on monthly revenue from product pricing, product sales mix trends, and up-sell/cross-sell effectiveness.
Sources of Revenue
We derive our revenue from a variety of services to SMBs, including web design and services, domain name registration and services, online marketing, search engine optimization, eCommerce solutions, logo design and home contractor lead services. Leads are generated through online advertising campaigns targeting customers in need of web design, hosting or online marketing solutions, through strategic partnerships with enterprise partners, or through our corporate websites. In addition, we continue to up-sell to the acquired customer bases of Register.com LP and Network Solutions.
Subscription Revenue
We currently derive a substantial majority of our revenue from fees associated with our subscription services, which are generally sold through our web services, online marketing, eCommerce, and domain name registration offerings. A portion of our services are offered free of charge for a 30-day trial period during which the customer can cancel at any time. After the 30-day trial period has ended, the revenue is recognized on a daily basis over the life of the contract. We bill a majority of our customers in advance through their credit cards, bank accounts, or business merchant accounts, and revenue is also recognized on a daily basis over the life of the contract which can range from monthly up to 100 years.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, subscription revenue accounted for approximately 97% of our total revenue as compared to 99% and 98% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. The number of paying subscribers of our Web services and lead generation products drives subscription revenue as well as the subscription price that we charge for these services. The number of paying subscribers is affected both by the number of new customers we acquire in a given period and by the number of existing customers we retain during that period. We expect other sources of revenue to decline as a percentage of total revenue over time.
Professional Services and Other Revenue
We generate professional services and other revenue primarily from custom website design, eCommerce store design and support services, and Do It Yourself logo design. Our custom website design and eCommerce store design work is typically billed on a fixed price basis and over very short periods. Our Do It Yourself logo design is typically billed upon the point-of-sale of the final product, which is created by the customer.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of Subscription Revenue
Cost of subscription revenue consists of expenses related to compensation of our Web page development staff, domain name registration fees, directory listing fees, customer support costs, search engine registration fees, billing costs, hosting expenses, marketing fees, and allocated overhead costs. We allocate overhead costs such as rent and utilities to all departments based on headcount. Accordingly, general overhead expenses are reflected in each cost of revenue and operating expense category. As our customer base and Web services usage grows, we intend to continue to invest additional resources in our website development and support staff.
Cost of Professional Services and Other Revenue
Cost of professional services revenue primarily consists of compensation expenses related to our Web page development staff, eCommerce store design, logo design, and allocated overhead costs. While in the near term, we expect to maintain or reduce costs in this area, in the long term, we may add additional resources in this area to support the growth in our professional services and custom design functions.
Operating Expenses
Sales and Marketing Expense
Our largest direct marketing expenses are the costs associated with the online marketing channels we use to acquire and promote our services. These channels include search marketing, affiliate marketing, direct television advertising and online partnerships. Sales costs consist primarily of compensation and related expenses for our sales and marketing staff. Sales and marketing expenses also include marketing programs, including advertising, corporate sponsorships, events, corporate communications, other brand building and product marketing expenses and allocated overhead costs.
We plan to continue to invest in sales and marketing by increasing the number of direct sales personnel in order to add new subscription customers as well as increase sales of additional and new services and products to our existing customer base. In addition, we plan to expand our resources to direct response television advertising to further increase revenue growth. Our investments in this area will also help us to expand our strategic marketing relationships, to build brand awareness, and to sponsor additional marketing events. Accordingly, we expect that, in the future, sales and marketing expenses will increase in absolute dollars.
Research and Development Expense
Research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation and related expenses for our research and development staff and allocated overhead costs. We have historically focused our research and development efforts on increasing the functionality of the technologies that enable our Web services and lead generation products. Our technology architecture enables us to provide all of our customers with a service based on a single version of the applications that serve each of our product offerings. As a result, we do not have to maintain multiple versions of our software, which enables us to have lower research and development expenses as a percentage of total revenue. We expect that, in the future, research and development expenses will increase as we continue to upgrade and extend our service offerings and develop new technologies.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expenses consist of compensation and related expenses for executive, finance, administration, and management information systems personnel, as well as professional fees, corporate development costs, other corporate expenses, and allocated overhead costs. We expect that general and administrative expenses will increase in absolute dollars as we continue to add personnel to support the growth of our business.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation and amortization expenses relate primarily to our intangible assets recorded due to the acquisitions we have completed, as well as computer software and hardware, equipment, furniture and fixtures, building and building improvements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates and assumptions on historical data and trends, current fact patterns, expectations and other sources of information we believe are reasonable. Actual results may differ from these estimates. For a full description of our critical accounting policies, see Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Results of Operations Comparison of the Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 to the Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2011 The following table sets forth our key business metrics for the three months ended September 30: Three months ended September 30, 2012* 2011 Net subscriber additions (reductions) 17,871 (12,642 ) Churn 1 % 2 %
*The metrics for the three months ended September 30, 2012 include the operating results of Network Solutions.
Net subscribers increased by 17,871 customers during the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to a decrease of 12,642 during the three months ended September 30, 2011. In addition, due to a continued downward trend in churn as well as the acquisition of Network Solutions' lower churning significant customer base, churn decreased to approximately 1% in the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to approximately 2% from the same prior year period ended. The increase in customers is primarily due to our increased marketing efforts during the third quarter ended September 30, 2012.
The average revenue per subscriber was $13.49 during the three months ended September 30, 2012, down from $16.73 for the same prior year period. The decrease in average revenue per subscriber was due to the addition of lower revenue subscribers from our acquisition of approximately two million Network Solutions' customers. Excluding the impact of the Network Solutions acquisition, the average revenue per subscriber increased from the prior year period. Further, the average revenue per subscriber of $13.49 represents an increase of 1% over the average revenue per subscriber of $13.34 for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012. When compared to the pro forma average revenue per subscriber of $12.86 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 giving effect to the Network Solutions acquisition, the three months ended September 30, 2012 was up 5 percent. The growth in average revenue per subscriber continues to be driven principally by our up-sell and cross-sell campaigns focused on selling higher revenue products to our existing customers as well as the introduction of new product offerings and sales channels oriented toward acquiring higher value customers.
Revenue Three months ended September 30, 2012 2011 (unaudited, in thousands) Revenue: Subscription $ 102,279 $ 43,398 Professional services and other 3,474 505 Total revenue $ 105,753 $ 43,903
Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased $61.9 million primarily due to the acquisition of Network Solutions in October 2011. The majority of the increase was associated with our domain and web-related services. In addition, the operations of Network Solutions began integrating with the existing legacy Web.com operations immediately following the closing of the acquisition on October 27, 2011. Furthermore, we increased revenue by continuing to up-sell our Do It For Me products to the acquired Register.com LP and Network Solutions customer base, in addition to favorable results from our direct advertising television campaigns and increased marketing efforts for our online marketing products.
Subscription Revenue. Subscription revenue increased $58.9 million to $102.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012 from $43.4 million for the same prior year period. The increase is due to the overall revenue drivers discussed above.
Professional Services and Other Revenue. Professional services revenue increased $3.0 million to $3.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012 from $0.5 million in the same prior year period ended. Professional services revenue increased primarily due to non-recurring website design revenue generated, in addition to increased custom website development service volume resulting from both the Register.com and Network Solutions acquisitions.
Cost of Revenue Three months ended September 30, 2012 2011 (unaudited) Cost of revenue: Subscription $ 38,096 $ 17,026 Professional services and other 2,099 335 Total cost of revenue $ 40,195 $ 17,361
Cost of Subscription Revenue. Cost of subscription revenue increased $21.1 million to $38.1 million, or 37% of subscription revenue, in the three months ended September 30, 2012 from $17.0 million, or 39% of subscription revenue, in the three months ended September 30, 2011 primarily due to additional costs related to the revenue from the Network Solutions acquisition.
Our gross margin on subscription revenue increased from 61% during the three months ended September 30, 2011 to 63% during the three months ended September 30, 2012. The gross margin was negatively impacted by amortizing into revenue, deferred revenue that was written down to fair value at the acquisition date which was approximately 51% lower than the historical basis of Register.com LP and Network Solutions. Excluding the $18.4 million and $2.8 million effect of the adjustment related to the fair value of acquired deferred revenue for the quarters ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, the gross margin was 68% and 63%, respectively. The increase is related to a favorable gross margin product mix, such as domain name registration and related services.
Cost of Professional Services and Other Revenue. Cost of professional services revenue increased by $1.8 million to $2.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012 from $0.3 million during the same prior year period. The increase was primarily the result of the volume increase in custom website design revenue.
Operating Expenses Three months ended September 30, 2012 2011 (unaudited) Operating Expenses: Sales and marketing $ 30,892 $ 11,080 Research and development 7,883 3,264 General and administrative 11,417 11,207 Restructuring charges 1,171 85 Depreciation and amortization 19,816 4,696 Total operating expenses $ 71,179 $ 30,332
Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses increased $19.8 million to $30.9 million, or 29% of total revenue, during the three months ended September 30, 2012, up from $11.1 million, or 25% of total revenue, during the three months ended September 30, 2011. Our sales and marketing expenses increased primarily due to the acquisition of Network Solutions. However, the increase is also driven by our further investment in sales and marketing activities including direct response television advertising, corporate sponsorships, additional sales resources and online marketing. Overall, there were increases in compensation and benefits of $8.0 million and customer acquisition and marketing expenses of $10.9 million as compared to the same prior year period.

I love this shot. "The subject without makeup". Raw, and beautiful.
Where do you find these living people? All around just plastic mannequins...
I love this photo.
Absolutely gorgeous!
This image is outstanding. Love the tones, the contrast and the feeling of this image. Feels like surrender!
I like this much more than the shots where your skin is overprocessed to look like porcelain. Beautiful women are not made of porcelain... they're real and human... I'm a fan of your modeling work, but this is by far the best image of your beauty I can imagine.
love the beauty of this.. raw and captivating
i have taken a look all of your artwork. i have to say, this one is just astonishing. And it is more sensual then all of those nude ones. Good work. As a model, and as a photographer. both well done. sorry for my english.
come to FRANCE to shoot someday

I really love this portrait. Your facial expression along with the fact its in black and white makes me feel like your eyes are staring right at me. Wonderful photo. The way this portrait was taken really reminded me of Dorothea Lange's "Migrant Mother." Of course different idea between photos, but each the expressions in both faces are intense in their own way.
Fantastic portrait. In my fav!

I want to be
in the centre of the forest, surrounded
by the sounds and the colours,
the sunlight coming in
green and blue,
bright, warm and cheerful.
I want to watch the fire dance
in your eyes,
kiss you under the infinite
Sing, and laugh, fall asleep
in your arms.
Scream my joys out into the abyss.
Look out on shining cities
from fourteen stories up,
see the lights twinkle
with life.
To sleep late in the mornings, watching the sun
filter in through the curtains
then get up
and explore every corner of this world
with you always there,
close to me.
Read my lips:
the quiet smile that hides
all my excitement.
I wish to taste fresh strawberries
at five A.M. in midsummer,
and the stinging cold ocean water
on my skin.
Chocolate, victory, and kisses...
To skip through the streets with your hand in mine,
play my guitar to the sound of the rain
falling on the roof.
To bathe in the river, some place where there's no one
else around
Hear you laugh, every day,
forever and ever
starting now
I want to feel you
beside me every night
To run with the wind,
feel the grass beneath my feet,
dance with you
on the sidewalk in the pouring rain.
To follow my heart, like a beacon,
and never look back in regret.
This is my life...
Ours, so I'd like it to be
Since I was hoping....
see, I was hoping....
you'd share it with me.

According to the Times, people with developmental disabilities in group homes in New York are more likely to be given Ativan, an anti-anxiety drug that also serves as a tranquilizer, than multivitamins. In many cases, psychotropic medication is prescribed as a chemical restraint to control behavior, even when it lacks any therapeutic purpose. Data from the National Core Indicators project, a national database run by the Human Services Research Institute and the National Association of State Directors of Developmental Disability Services, shows that the percentage of people with developmental disabilities receiving psychotropic medications is much higher than the percentage who have the co-occurring mental health conditions that might justify their use. This is a critical issue, and it is imperative that New York's Office for People with Developmental Disabilities and State Legislature take action to address it.
