I completely love your drawing ! Your character are so sweet and sexy too ! I love them *-*
arrrgh... I like this comic, I do... but this scene... it's just too dub-con for my liking... @_@ anyway, am I the only one who's hoping this *doesn't* turn into a foursome? XD
I needz this.... don't even THINK of stopping now - my libido seriously could not take it!
*hands you a red beach towel* Here, this might last a bit longer than tissues
Oooooo! Damn!!!!!
omg, i swear my face is so red right now xD
Raping him?
Gosh, no! I don't want Lally to rape him. The right thing would be, to let Alex come back to his senses and not to ask to much of him...
I'm starting to ask myself if Lally is doing the right thing... is he so sure that alex REALLY wants that, even when he's resisting? mmmm, I may have a problem, because at the same time, I feel like this comic is like a drug... I always want more!!!!
damn you (in a sweet way) lilitblack and verthmouth!!!
io son già pronto con coperta patatine e fazzoletti
quando volete eh...
quando volete eh...
I can't tell if Alex is enjoying this or not!
I'm sorry Alex, a small part of me wants to help but an even bigger part of me thinks that this is just too damn sexy to stop. Sorry! Go Lally!
YES! I totally agree! Part of me is like Lally... this is not right...but another is like GRAB THE POPCORN!...AND NAPKINS! LOTS OF THEM!
Ooohh my, poor alex but soo bloody sexy to be honest

Article Summary
Last month I got the opportunity to spend some quality time with the Minx Go Bluetooth speaker from Cambridge Audio and came away mighty impressed. Since then I've been playing my tunes through its bigger brother, the top of the range Minx Air 200. This wireless speaker is roughly four times the physical size of the Go, is compatible with Apple's AirPlay technology as well as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and has a monstrous 200 W amplifier at its heart.

Twitter lacks love more than numbers in its flockUsers at the $10 bln social-media platform have topped out at about 320 mln. Getting 25 pct more dollars out of each in the fourth quarter than the third isn't bad. CEO Jack Dorsey wants a better user experience, but he also needs to turn more of his pricey R&D into revenue.
Gender trumps all? Vote-shaming, slut-shaming not so far apartPlaying the shame game with younger women is troubling, particularly since Clinton's own refusal to be shamed is a remarkable act of courage.
The cheap, brutally effective medieval tactic shaping the Syrian civil warThe regime realized early in the war that instead of waging costly street battles to retake territory, it is cheaper and easier to surround an opposition-held area and starve its residents into submission.
How Garry Kasparov sees the chess match between Russia and the WestGarry Kasparov, a Russian opposition leader who was ranked as the world's best chess player for most of 20 years, has a problem with the West's response to Vladimir Putin.

The Third Parliamentary Symposium on Sustainable Immunization Financing(SIF) begins today in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, lasting from October 21-22, 2010.
On October 7, 2010, Dr. Mama Fouda of the Cameroonian Ministry of Public Health, approved the creation of the National Immunization Trust Fund (NITF) as an alternative for sustainable immunization financing in Cameroon.
On 28 September, seventeen parliamentarians and government officials came together in Bamako to discuss ways to sustainably finance Mali's immunization program. It was the latest in a series of Sabin-organized briefings that began in Bamako in October 2009.
SIF Sabin is currently hosting a peer exchange between Cameroon and DRC in Yaounde this week. SIF SPOs Helene Mambu-ma-Disu and Jonas Mbwangue are working together to host MPs through a planned series of activities intended to inform policymakers from both countries on various recommendat

Amen to that brother!
Although I enjoy smoking I wouldn't defend it in any way. 75% of the packaging for warnings sure,whatever. But if they plan to add some nice graphic pictures of rotten lungs on cigarette packs, how about some nice graphic pictures of rotten kidneys and livers on bottles of liquor.
We can also add some images of road traffic accidents to the bottles and cans.
It's not as if they are more disgusting than what they are here and alcoholics do need to take heed.
They have to face up to the consquences of their actions more than smokers.
And while we are there we might as well put on display some shots from casualty after a drunken squabble has got out of hand.
There needs to be a more hands-on approach to drinking alcohol and less mollycuddling.
They need more than tough love and wishy-washy advertisements.
It's hilarious how smokers get all the attention while the alcoholics get away scot-free.
Not that smoking is anything to carp about but it's preferable to getting blind drunk.

Nuovo West – Daria Pilnitskaya tries her hand at the country life for Zoltan Tombor's latest work in Grazia Italy. Styled by Sabrina Bolzoni, Daria reigns in horses with western inspired looks from the likes of Roberto Cavalli, Hermes, Moschino and Just Cavalli. Windswept hair and natural makeup by Pedro Pianto complete the cowgirl's day out.
Enjoyed this update?
7 Comments
She's amazing.
I don't know about Nuovo, but it's stunning nevertheless. Perfect mix of leather for the styling, too.
Fashion is always wonderful when you have a cowboy style… Love it!!!!
wow, stunning, her freckles are gorgeous.
its plain boring,reminds me of some random ad campaign for springfield, dont like it.
Some absolutely amazing shots (particularly 1, 2, 3, and 10). But it's a bit all over the place, there's no cohesive concept.

I've been living in Melbourne for 3 years now after moving from Perth. I work as a sound engineer setting up for outdoor music festivals or large concerts, also do a lot of touring with bands and theatre shows, so I've been around Australia a few times staying in many hotels and accommodation.
I've done a bit of travel overseas, spent a couple of months in the UK and Ireland and just got back from a 6 week tour of the US. Mostly using Airbnb. I've had some great experiences with Airbnb, with some amazing hosts. But i've had a couple of bad ones too, so i know first hand how important communication and reliability is.
Looking forward to hosting travelers and doing more travel myself.

very rude..called and asked a question & he hung up on me!
by Chris J. on 05/01/2015
Unfortunately my husband was having severe pain due to a infected root canal, it was the weekend and we were unable to see our dentist. Despite my prior concerns with this establishment after researching several reviews, I came to the conclusions that to see this dentist would be a great mistake. I have never suffered from this pain personally, but I knew he was in such discomfort and the swelling was obvious. We ended up deciding that we would see if he could get prescribe some antibiotics and possibly a lance to relieve the pain and swelling. Upon arrival I felt uneasy, the first thing I witnessed walking in the "office" was a man lounging in a lazy boy in the back watching TV. The man comes upfront and tells my husband to fill out a form and theres a $150 fee just to see him. With a closer view of the man, it was not favorable he was wearing a old shirt with stains and a large hole in the back, no scrubs or at the least something more presentable. I asked my husband if he was sure and almost begged to leave, but could see the pain in his eyes and his need for relief, we stayed! The floors are sunken in, in random areas and had uneven laminate flooring missing and dirty equipment laying about. This man clearly doesn't take pride in his practice and appears to exploit people at their most desperate need. He was aggressive and overall unfriendly and he acted confused why we asked if we could pay the $200 for the lancing of the abscess after the procedure and went on to inform us(under his breath) that out of all of his 34-35years practicing that this question has never been asked. Immediately after the 2 min procedure while my husband was under pain from the lack of numbing from the cut and swishing the tap water in his mouth to spit out the large amount of blood, was asked to pay right away- which I then stepped in and asked if he didn't mind if my husband finished spitting out the blood before he payed considering he was still sitting in the procedure chair. If you absolutely have no other choice in your situation I warn you to seriously consider having this "doctor" preform anything more serious on you or your loved ones, if possible at the least try to see if you can just get the antibiotics to reduce inflammation or a pain killer to help until you can see a more respectable dentist.

Dr. Sidawe is one of the best dentists in Orlando. He is available 24/7 whenever I called. Thank God I found him. He is very professional. I had a very bad toothache and serious problem in my gum, and Dr. Sidawe took care of it and helped me with the pain so that I could sleep at night. I recommend him to anyone !
Bad Service! Totally unprofess...by ladyredbug on 01/05/2013
Bad Service! Totally unprofessional. Went there Because my husband chipped his teeth and was in pain. He told us to come back because he didn't have time. To come back when he was less busy, whatever, fine, we did about 2 hours later because it was a Saturday night and no one else was open. We told him we will be there in about an hour. We got there 45 min after, when we got there he had 2 friends there and he said take a seat. So we sat down and he sat in front of us with his friends and started talking and laughing, then he said "you said an hour, its only been 45 min , so its ok" and continued his conversation in Arabic, so we had no idea what they were saying, there was no other patients waiting, so we had to sit there like idiots and wait till he was done talking to his friends. He would turn around once in a while and say 'its ok, they are friends'. Also He had an extention cord that ran across his work station and where patients walk. So not safe! He kept saying "im Christian, im Christian, I want to help you, its ok trust me" But DONT trust him. IF you want to go for some quick pain meds or something VERY simple, and you have no other open dentist, then I guess its fine. But if there is another option Take it. He's definitely being reported. A patient that was there for a short while we were there also left upset.

My family was on vacation in Orlando when my fiance suddenly had a major tooth infection. His pain was immense. He has no insurance, and we had a long drive ahead of us! For $150.00, Dr. Sidawi saw us within 15 minutes (once we called the number on the door), he did the exam, X-rays, gave him antibiotic and pain medicine. Dr. Sidawi was so friendly! He was patient when we had a million questions, and not once did he make us feel like a burden when we knew we had ripped him from his family at 9pm! Because of him, we were able to make it home without a problem. My fiance was so grateful! Thank you, Dr. Sidawi!
100 % Satisfaction with Dr.Sidawiby on 02/24/2012
I have used Dr. Sidawi on numerous ocassions. He has saved several teeth from root canals. i also had a root canal done by dr sidawi he relieved the pain that night and did a great pain free root canal at a reasonable price i would highly recommend him .
Great serviceby on 02/19/2012
I was in great pain from a root canal gone bad, I called at 11:15pm on a Friday night after trying to get in touch with the dentist that did the root cancel the day before, Called the answering service 4 times in 3 hours trying to get some relief. Called Dr Sidawi who was at his office in 30 minutes. Dr Sidawi was able to get the pain under control, change my prescriptions to stronger antibiotics and pain medication. He say he would be available daily to get me through the wait for my normal dentist to gets back from vacation on Tuesday. (Not the same dentist that performed the root canal). Dr. Sidawi is a very nice guy, would go back to his again.
No help when in painby on 01/20/2012
It was 12:30a.m. And my wife was in major pain, we called the Dr. Numerous times and actually got someone on the phone 4 or 5 times, but each time the person hung the phone up on us! We googled the address and went to the office on Inernational drive which we found with help of a State trooper. The office was well lit with an ""open"" sign flashing in the window, but low and behold, no one was there! We called the number in the window that read "" the doctor is in the building, please call and he will be here in 15 minutes"" I called the number and left a message, but that too was not responded to! I don't understand how this doctor has any good reviews, but when we needed his help, we were ignored!!! Now I have to wait until morning to find a real dentist to go to!

Thanks for the analysis. Send a copy to the HR departments that routinely require BA/BS for entry level positions in almost any department, including HR.
Then, if you get hired, you are still required to get re-trained anyways.

HuffingtonPost Blogger Feed for Calandra Cruickshank Good old fashioned elbow grease. Sustainable Philanthropy: Gaming The System For Good tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2011:/theblog//3.830514 2011-03-07T00:23:53-05:00 2011-05-25T18:35:25-04:00 Calandra Cruickshank http://www.huffingtonpost.com/calandra-cruickshank/ DonateGames.org gives kids the opportunity to help other kids struggling with rare diseases by donating their used video games and gear. The organization repurposes the games and equipment to raise funds for research at leading research foundations, including the groundbreaking Seattle Children's Hospital Foundation. The organization also donates games and game systems to hospitalized children, grants Make-A-Wishes and helps provide support for sick children and their families. The organization's newly launched online games store gives kids the opportunity to buy video games at a significant discount, enjoy playing them, then donate them back again to help raise funds for kids who are sick. Families can even earn a tax deduction DonateGames' innovative approach and sustainable philanthropic business model empowers kids to generate significant funds to help ease the burden of kids with rare diseases, and to fund research that can help eradicate these diseases. DonateGames began when Taylor Carol, at age 11, was diagnosed terminally ill with a rare form of Leukemia. Taylor and his family refused to give up hope, and after extensively researching their options, relocated to Seattle to situate Taylor at the Seattle Children's Hospital. Taylor and his family struggled with his disease, including a year in the hospital undergoing chemotherapy, before a life-saving bone marrow transplant from a stranger helped saved Taylor's life. Taylor and the other kids at the hospital were terribly sick, scared and isolated, but passing time playing their video games played a big part in helping them get better. After three years of an intense battle with cancer and subsequent rare diseases, his family acknowledged that it was both the kindness of strangers and Taylor's video games that sustained him with joy and hope during his darkest days, and they decided they wanted to pass that hope on to other kids struggling with rare diseases. Taylor's father, award-winning software entrepreneur Jim Carol, recognized that a powerful opportunity to give back existed in tapping into the $18.6 billion U.S. video game market. His research revealed that used video game reseller Gamestop earned over $1 billion in profit in 2009 -- without a strong charitable component. Carol combined his entrepreneurial business spirit with his passion around his son's triumphant recovery to conceive DonateGames. The company has achieved astonishing growth in its first 12 months, moving from a small "mom and pop" operation out of the Carol's garage to attracting partnerships with major brands like video game behemoth EA, The UPS Store and national nonprofits like Make-A-Wish and children's hospitals. "Jim's passionate and contagious persona... attracts help from some of [the] strongest talent pools," says Nicole Provensal, head of corporate sponsorship for Angels Baseball in Anaheim, CA. Provensal volunteers with DonateGames, helping out with marketing and social media. She recently nominated Carol for Orange County Business Journal's Excellence in Entrepreneurship award for his efforts in founding DonateGames, along with Eve Kopp, director of development, corporate annual giving for the Seattle Children's Hospital, and several others. Kids are also responding strongly to DonateGames' innovative model; as word spreads about the organization, they are sending in more and more games and game systems from collections they've set up at their local schools and around the world. Parents appreciate DonateGames, too, feeling it connects them with their children, bridging the gap through philanthropy. X Games three-time Gold Medal winner Ryan Sheckler's mom and newly appointed DonateGames board member, Gretchen Sheckler, believes that today's generation is "benevolent at heart", and appreciates that DonateGames enables children to give back in their own community. The power is in the model's simplicity. "As the mother of three teenaged boys... video games [are] a part of my life," Sheckler says. "When I mentioned DonateGames' business model to my sons, they immediately understood their ability to help sick children without changing their existing lifestyle." A rare disease is one that affects fewer than 200,000 people. However, if you aggregate the number of people in the U.S. who are affected by one of the more than 6,000 rare diseases, the number totals about 25 million Americans, according to the National Organization for Rare Diseases, Inc. (NORD) The largest population afflicted with these genetic life-threatening or chronically debilitating diseases are children. However, because the population is so fragmented, support for medical research and clinical trials are difficult to come by. Organizations like DonateGames, NORD, Lybba, the Global Genes Project and others are helping to raise public awareness and to get the attention of lawmakers to get support for research, clinical drug trials and more. International Rare Disease Day is February 28th. Last year, major video game publishing companies donated vast quantities of games and game systems to DonateGames to help raise funds for children with rare diseases. DonateGames has also partnered with The UPS Store locations in Western Washington on a video game donation drive, where residents are able to drop off video games and gear at any of the 87 participating The UPS Store locations in the Seattle area through April 30, 2011. All proceeds from this donation drive will benefit Seattle Children's Hospital. DonateGames is run by a largely volunteer staff, and approximately $.79 of every dollar generated goes to fund rare disease research or to support children struggling with the diseases. To help manage its explosive growth, DonateGames has moved into a new office facility after filling up donated warehouse spaces. In its first year, DonateGames was able to donate more than $26,000 to Seattle Children's Hospital for research, to donate more than 3,000 new video games to hospitalized children and to grant many Make-A-Wishes. With the launch of its new online store, and it's strong support from kids and other consumers, and its partnerships with corporations, children's hospitals and others, DonateGames expects to be able to generate more than seven figures this year to help combat children's rare diseases. DonateGames is truly a social enterprise with an innovative and sustainable model that is "gaming the system" for the good of others. ]]> Jeans for Genes tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2010:/theblog//3.477966 2010-02-26T09:11:59-05:00 2011-05-25T15:40:24-04:00 Calandra Cruickshank http://www.huffingtonpost.com/calandra-cruickshank/ Recently, I've developed a whole new appreciation for my jeans -- and for my genes. In the U.S. alone, through no fault of their own, more than 30 million Americans suffer from rare diseases with often unpronounceable names, including Ataxia Telangiectasia, Qazi Markouizos Syndrome and Faciocardiomelic Dysplasia. More than 22 million of those are infants and children and the number of people afflicted by rare diseases is dramatically increasing in our country. The physical and emotional challenges they face are often compounded by the isolation and confusion that stems from too little information about their conditions and what resources may be available to them. Some of these diseases have been brought to public attention through the efforts of celebrities like Julia Roberts, who advocates for research and solutions for Rhett Syndrome, and Tom Hanks, who acts as spokesman for Neuroblastoma, a rare cancerous tumor that affects the nervous system of children and infants. But while their efforts certainly do help, it is difficult to generate the medical and financial attention needed to productively address rare diseases on a national scale when such a small number of people are afflicted by each individual disease. Several noble nonprofits are working to change this by creating national umbrella organizations that offer funding, community and awareness for individuals and families suffering from rare diseases. By joining forces and encouraging nonprofits working in the rare disease space to collaborate, they are becoming much more effective in increasing awareness and the corresponding large-scale fundraising needed to create real change in the medical field. New Web sites are springing up, providing a central location where families can find a community and learn about the resources available to help them cope and help ease suffering. This is Global Rare Disease week. Visit the Children's Rare Disease Network's Web site to learn more about the diseases that now afflict 10 percent of the U.S. population. And wear your favorite jeans to show your support on Sunday, Feb. 28, 2010, Global Rare Disease Day. Visit CRDN's Global Genes Project Web site to learn more. You can also help by donating your used video games and game systems to Donate Games. One hundred percent of revenues raised are donated to help support research and families suffering from the more 7,000 rare diseases. And of course, every time you save money with CommonKindness by using our online coupons and discount codes you can help support these and other great nonprofit organizations. You save and CommonKindness donates to your favorite charities and causes -- at no cost to you.]]> A Sustainable Funding Option for Nonprofit Organizations tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2009:/theblog//3.268532 2009-08-25T14:56:54-04:00 2011-11-17T09:02:45-05:00 Calandra Cruickshank http://www.huffingtonpost.com/calandra-cruickshank/ What is sustainable funding? Sustainable funding is a holistic approach to fundraising that moves beyond traditional tactics such as securing grants or tapping a few wealthy corporate or personal patrons. It focuses instead on developing new and creative funding mechanisms to help nonprofit organizations become more sustainable in the long term, allowing them to focus more of their resources on the important programs and services they offer. Today's bleak economy can serve as a pro-active stimulus for developing creative, sustainable funding mechanisms to reinvigorate nonprofit institutions. Creative brainstorming is important to find transformative ways to enhance traditional nonprofit funding techniques with more sustainable methods. Online fundraising methods, such as contests or blog posts accompanied by a "donate now" button can help generate substantial visibility for an organization. One sustainable funding initiative that I am supporting leverages the bold new world of online coupons to benefit nonprofit organizations. As President of CommonKindness.com, I'm working to help nonprofit organizations nationwide benefit when consumers clip coupons. Our new website, www.CommonKindness.com, creatively leverages online coupons and discounts, allowing people to support the nonprofits they are passionate about while they save money. Each time a coupon or discount is used on CommonKindness, the brand that posted it pays an advertising fee. Consumers receive the full value of their coupons, while CommonKindness shares 60% of the advertising fees with the nonprofits consumers support. This model truly creates a win/win/win whereby people save money, nonprofits generate much-needed funds and businesses increase traffic and sales. For example, Catholic Charities Brooklyn and Queens is letting its constituents know about the valuable, money saving coupons on CommonKindness. Each time one of their supporters prints a coupon, funds are generated to help support the numerous community programs Catholic Charities Brooklyn and Queens offers to its neighbors, including programs for older adults, children, people who are developmentally disabled, formerly homeless or isolated. To localize its "socially responsible local economic stimulus plan", CommonKindness encourages local merchants to also post coupons for their products and services on the site to support nonprofits in their community. Local coupons provide added reasons for people to regularly visit the site. Supporting local nonprofits helps to create customer loyalty for local businesses, all of which helps to increase the "sustainability" of the model. Historically, a stimulus done as a cash payment or tax rebate will only result in about 17% being spent on consumer goods or services, according to NFO WorldGroup, Inc. When incentives are offered in the form of redeemable coupons or discounts, about 57% of consumers are likely to respond and sales increase accordingly. As a committed nonprofit activist, I believe the future of the nonprofit sector depends on the development and use of creative and new sustainable funding methods with strong business and practical value. Let's support the life- and community-enhancing work that our nonprofit organizations deliver to Americans in need with sustainable funding ingenuity. ]]>

Sarah Gerkensmeyer is not a fan of the traditional female stereotypes. Need evidence? Just read some of the stories included in her collection "What You Are Now Enjoying."
By all accounts, former Charles Darwin correspondent Ernst Dieffenbach was a man short on emotions.
That doesn't stop Thom Conroy from eloquently capturing those emotions in his biographical novel of Dieffenbach, "The Naturalist."
More than 3 million Americans are affected by obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Even more concerning is the fact that approximately 25 to 30 percent of these individuals fail to benefit from empirically-supported interventions.
By definition, Laura Kasischke is a poet. But it's been suggested that that description might be selling her short.
Thanks to the Internet and social media, our identities have never had the potential to be more ambiguous. Now, with just the click of a mouse, we can say anything or be anyone.
On Wednesday, March 4, Aimée Morrison will discuss how we construct our online identities when she visits Penn State Erie, The Behrend College, for a special presentation.
Young vs. old. It's a constant struggle.
It's also the root of the conflict in "Spring Awakening," the Tony Award-winning rock musical that will be performed this spring at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College. Set in late-nineteenth century Germany, the musical focuses on teenagers who are discovering the inner and outer tumult of sexuality.
For the play's main character Melchior Gabor, sex is purely hedonistic and physical. That does not sit well with members of the older generation, however, who opt for a more conservative approach.
Tony Vallone, a professor of English at Penn State Dubois, will join members of the faculty and staff of Penn State Erie, The Behrend College, in sharing short selections of their poetry and prose during Behrend Reads. The event will be held at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 5, in Penn State Behrend's Larry and Kathryn Smith Chapel.
The music of Joel Hunt challenges conventional distinctions between composition and improvisation, acoustic and electronic media, and the interrelationships between composer, performer, and listener.
The Baltimore Consort will bring its arrangements of early music from England, Scotland, France, Italy and Spain to Penn State Erie, The Behrend College, on Monday, Feb. 16.

Model: myself
I like the subtlety of the costume. It has a lot of detail, yet it's not at all overstated. The potion bottle is nestled in the gown's furls, and the corsets variance of styles in the corset. I love the flowing feel of the gowns skirt, and the upper body's flowing clothing coming over the underbust.
I love that little glass ball thing!
i LOVEEEEEEE THIS PICTURE!

American Opinion on Climate Change Follows Rising Waters
Posted on Nov 10, 2012
A Rasmussen poll released Friday shows 68 percent of Americans see global warming as a "serious problem," up from 46 percent in 2009. In 2010, Gallup reported 48 percent of Americans thought the dangers of global warming were exaggerated.
Rasmussen further reported that 41 percent of those polled believe human activity is responsible for climate change, whereas 38 percent believe it is caused by regular shifts in the environment.

State Sens. John Lamping, R-Ladue, and Maria Chappelle-Nadal, D-University City, along with House Speaker Tim Jones, R-Eureka, discussed the issue at a forum on tax-credit scholarships. With three weeks left in the legislative session, a transfer bill that passed overwhelmingly in the Senate is now moving through the House. Aerotropolis bill before Mo. Senate committee By Marshall Griffin • Apr 20, 2011 (via Flickr/dbking) After easily passing the House last week, a Missouri Senate committee is now considering a bill designed to make Lambert Airport an international air cargo hub. The so-called Aerotropolis bill would provide around $480 million in tax credits to companies that develop air cargo facilities at or near Lambert. Airport Director Rhonda Hamm-Niebruegge told the committee that the bill is about more than just doing business with China.

Will Guest Blogging Help Your SEO Strategy?
If you want to make your mark on the world wide web, you must ensure that the SEO strategy that you use is effective. Nowadays, it is very important to figure out genuine ways in which you can secure links. The strategies used to build links should be robust; already the Penguin update has made many links that were previously used useless. While you may be wondering how to go about it all, one option can help you witness good results. This option is called guest blogging.
The SEO strategy that you choose to use can be complemented with guest blogs. Apart from providing content, (which is definitely the most important part of your strategy), you will also be primed and prepared for an invasion of backlinks, ensuring that the SEO strategy you're using is a success. However, just as you would do with other methods, you must ensure that you choose the right way to go about it.
Don't underestimate the importance of quality content
The most important thing to keep in mind is that quality is king. The quality of content that you provide must be excellent at all times, even more so when it's not on your site. The point of guest blogging is to provide valuable information to readers in an effort to tempt them to check out what else you have to offer. You must make yourself known as the authority on a subject. Keep it readable, high value and informative, but make sure that apart you're your posts being quality ones, the site must also be top quality.
Guest blog smartly
It is advised that you only guest blog on authoritative sites that have a decently good following. The benefit of doing so is that you will be deemed as a high profile content writer simply by being associated with such a site. Moreover, it also enhances your chances of securing many social networking pointers and SEO enhancing backlinks, because depending on the number of people who read and like your posts, the more will you stand out to Google.
It is important to ensure that the site that you guest blog on is one related to your industry, as you will not achieve the results you desire if the posts don't reach your target audience. Make sure quality is the first point on your list when you choose the people with whom you wish to do business. If relevance and quality are on the same page, guest blogging has the potential to yield stunning SEO success.

Facebook for Android receives big update
Facebook for Android is now on version 2.0 and is expected to increase the speed and performance of the app – by a lot.
There is no drastic change in the design and the UI when we downloaded the update, but it surely did what the update specified it would do. It increased loading speeds by a mile.
Facebook's Android app wasn't the best out there quite a while back. In fact, we never found ourselves using the Facebook app alone; we had apps like Friendcaster on the sideline for some other purposes.
The previous versions of the app used HTML5 and some codes that enabled different Android devices to work with it – that is why it was so slow. Now, the new Facebook app for Android is built from the ground up. Meaning, the codes are different which will resort to faster performances.
We noticed that it was indeed fast. Scrolling was smooth and loading times were short. Facebook is really trying to keep the grasp that they have on their users, and it is working. The Facebook app has undergone through a lot of updates. It's not the perfect app, but it's trying to be and it's almost there.
The update/download is available at the Google Play Store.
10 Comments on this Post
IMO: no matter how fast this facebook app is, it basically consumed my internal memory.My Alcatel Glory phone is not a high-end type phone and installing Link2SD did not help coz a big part of the app still resides on the phone. Uninstalling the update removed the "low disk space" prompt. And this time, i want to remove the fb app itself.
yes thats one annoying thing with the lower-end local Android phones here in the Philippines. They had Facebook pre-installed for the sake of lulz, eating a huge portion on the very little internal memory. worst, if you have Viberr and Twitter as well.
on topic, havent tried the new update. im just using the fb app to upload pics easily or if i need to tag somebody up, still on normal checking, Opera Mini saves the day.
it is a great improvement..im liking it.
Downloaded this on my SGS3, and yes, the app is noticeably faster. I believe it's more optimized for high-end devices, so I would suggest those with low-tier Android phones not to download this as the new app consumes more memory than before.
Love the new update!! :) super fast than before.
HAHA. yan din problema ko. 160mb lang yung internal memory ng Lenovo A60+ ko. at itong fb app ay kumakain ng mahigit 40mb ng storage ko. mabuti nalang di ito pre installed sa phone ko kaya pwede kong iuninstall kahit kalian xD
Oo nga ang bilis. Amazing! I'm also not using a high end phone right now and I had some problems installing this update. It always gave me the "Insufficient internal storage.." blah blah. And since Facebook is pre-installed on my phone I couldn't uninstall the whole app. What I did was, I uninstalled the PREVIOUS updates before I downloaded and installed this new big update. Ayun ok na sya ngayon at ang bilis nya nga talaga.
how bout yun battery drain? di ba bat hog?
Hi. What's the difference in having the dedicated Messenger app installed?

What I wrote *is* easy to misinterpret, and you don't know me enough to be able to guess how I meant it.
...And emoticons help little in cases like that, regretably.
Now, the subject is really involved. You've ventured into one of the long-standing open problems about Vista and successors.
Dietmar has proven it's doable to boot Vista sp0 x86 from FAT-32. No one knows how good it's long-time stability is.
And nothing more is know about all other Vista+ OSes, except for the experiments Tripredacus has just performed.
I hope to be able to join the experimentation after Dec 20 or so. Before that I'll have to be content to provide suggestions and discuss results, but I won't be able to contribute any original experiments myself, although I'd much like to.
For now I have to say I keep betting the best way to copy the proble directories and files is XXCOPY, which is very powerful and up to date. IIRR it does have a x64 version

OGP Teams
OpenTheGovernment.org is sponsoring the creation of civil society organization (CSO) teams to support the US Administration's accomplishments of its commitments in the Open Government Partnership (OGP) National Action Plan (NAP).
This website will act as a central location for information on the teams, the NAP, and how to get involved.
There are 16 teams, each of which is listed below along with the commitments they are responsible for. If you'd like to be an active part of a team, follow the link next to its name. If there is no link, please email email@example.com.
Once the teams are formed, there will be several accomplishments that we will be working towards:
- Connect each CSO team to the responsible individual(s) inside the government to collaborate on the effective completion of the goal.
- Develop metrics to evaluate the Administration's accomplishments of its US National Action Plan commitments.
- Analyze the Administration's success according to these metrics.
It is our sincere hope that the partnerships formed from this exercise will be beneficial to all involved and become self-sustaining. In addition, it is our intention to develop metrics that will credit the Administration for its successes, while simultaneously providing context for what work still needs to be done.

In the Heart of Waikiki
The 2½-mile strand called Waikīkī Beach is perhaps the most famous in the world. Although it's one continuous piece of beach, it's as varied as the people who inhabit the Islands. Whether you're an old-timer looking to enjoy the action from the shade or a sports nut wanting to do it all, you can find every beach activity on the sand. There's an enchantment here that cannot be fully explained, and one that, though diminished by high-rises and traffic, has not yet disappeared. You'll fall in love with Diamond Head, the sensuous curve of the shoreline, and the strong-footed surfers like moving statues in the golden light.
