I hope this is in the right forum; if not feel free to move it. Here's my story:
My youngest (4th baby) will be 6 months old in a couple of days. From the very day he was born he was fussy at regular intervals after feedings (like at 45 minutes from the start of the feeding, and again 45 minutes later, etc). I suspected he might have a problem similar to one of his brothers: allergic colitis. Sure enough, at one week of age the baby started having mucus in his stools and sometimes bits of blood. When we went through this with my other son who had it, I tried EVERYTHING I could think of: elimination dieting, antibiotics, probiotics, etc. Finally when he was 7 months old I put him on Neocate at the suggestion of the GI doctor. The GI said he had allergic colitis and that it was not a TRUE allergy (meaning it's just physiological) and he would outgrow it whether I exposed him to "problem foods" or not. But I was tired of the crying so I weaned him. I never regretted it. He was so happy and 2 weeks after weaning I got pregnant (so I figured my son's problems were used for good by God in that He gave us another child out of it). This baby has had allergic colitis symptoms AND silent reflux symptoms. We did try a round of Zantac but it didn't really help. I did a month-long diet where I 100% avoided a list of 15 foods. His symptoms did not go away completely, though he did do much worse once I put dairy back in my diet at the end of that month. During that month his particularly fussy days had no rhyme or reason to them; I could not pinpoint what was causing them. My husband and I suspect it's just super immature digestive system. Foremilk/hindmilk imbalance was suggested to me MANY times, but I was already only feeding one side per feeding (have always done that with all my kids, and 2 of my kids were fine) and my breasts were nice and soft after feedings. Anyway, on March 15th we decided to put the baby on Neocate, at the age of 4 1/2 months old. I figured i had given it a really good shot, considering I had told myself after going through everything with my first son that if I had another "allergic colitis" baby I would not go through all that again, and would just skip to the Neocate. Well, I realized that this is a different baby and I had to at least TRY some things. Unlike last time I weaned early, this time I have not had a peace that it was the right thing to do. We are trying to wait before getting pregnant again, so I'm at this strange place in my life where, for the first time in 6 years, I'm not pregnant OR nursing. Oh, and when my oldest son turned 1 we started trying cow's milk and all the other foods he hadn't been eating because of his "problems", and guess what? He had completely outgrown the problem and had NO problems whatsoever. Which tells me his system matured sometime BEFORE he turned 1. So, here I am wondering if I should keep my milk supply going, and let my baby try it once in a while, and if he seems to do well, then go back to nursing him. The problem is, the last time I pumped was on March 26th, and today is April 26th. Yesterday I wanted to try to nurse the baby just to see what would happen, and he DID latch on for a few seconds, then pulled away and wanted nothing to do with it. Turns out the few drops of milk that are there are SALTY! Today I went out and bought a double electric pump, some Fenugreek and some Alfalfa. I have decided I would like to try to get my milk back. Unfortunately I cannot have a "nurse-in" and have the baby help me get the milk back, because: 1. He's refusing to try because of the taste right now, and 2. Last time he nursed he was very upset afterwards, so I told my husband I would get the supply back and then let the baby try it only once in a while. I have pumped 4 times so far today with the double pump, for 15-20 minutes at a time. I have gotten about a teaspoon of milk total for all those sessions. Besides concerns about my supply being almost gone, I'm so worried he won't want to latch on and nurse when we try again. Do you think he'll be willing once there's actually enough of the sweet milk in there? Should I trick him by putting formula on my nipple or even some pears (the one solid food he eats so far)? How do you get a 6-month-old to latch on when they don't WANT to? And because of the reasons listed above, I can't use a SNS to stimulate production and/or keep him latching. Plus I can't spend anymore money right now!
I guess I'd like to here some advice and encouragement. I think my husband thinks I'm crazy for wanting to do this, but I told him it doesn't hurt anyone for me to have a milk supply back. And who knows, we might actually save some money on formula if I can go back to nursing! It just doesn't make any sense to me that my child can have a condition which requires weaning to fix. It's not like it's a true allergy. Yes, he is thriving on the Neocate. But, he's fussy enough from teething and from constipation that I figure, he's going to cry anyway, why not put him back on breastmilk?
My husband is concerned that constant irritation of the digestive system could lead to cancer later on in life. I told him I think that breastmilk, while it might irritate the baby, would also provide protective qualitites that formula can't. Right???
Most of all, I am taking each pumping session as an opportunity to pray. I have spent so much time and energy on what I should be doing. That's I with a big capital I! Maybe I just need to sit back and trust that God will heal the baby's digestive system, or mature it quickly, or adjust the quality of my milk, or whatever it takes. I'm praying my milk supply will rebound completely. Fortunately I've never had an issue with low supply so I am hoping that it comes back quickly.
Anyone been where I am and have stories to share? I'm especially interested in hearing if anyone else's baby was diagnosed with allergic colitis, and what you did about it.

I was the flip-side vegetarian..LOL.. thats how I gained weight!!
Sooo proud of myself today!! So far so good! Will post soon. Also, enjoying my afternoon/evening tea.
Medical update: I still have pain because I still have sutures. He was surprised I still have a lot and dang was that a painful exam! I asked about the dry patches that have me gouging my skin since the operation. I currently have a mass of scratching abrasions that have bled on my foot but I have had this at my knees, arm, thigh.. it moves. Anyhow, I use the benedryl, prescription anti-itch and am slathering it with bag balm because its antiseptic (the doc laughed) and yet still itchy as hell!! He is suggesting I get my thyroid checked. I have had my thyroid checked in the past and it has been fine. I asked if surgery can affect it, he said he doesn't know. Grrr... Anywhoo.. My restricted weight is up to 20-25 pounds but still take it easy and back off when in pain. The ovary-less pain, he said could be scar tissue or not. They are checking for a bladder infection and seeing if I need a CT from there. However, I am clear to go back to work on Thursday!

Name released for other driver in fatal crash
July 11, 2013
Maria Sutton, 32, Minot, has been identified by Minot Police Department Chief Jason Olson as the other driver in a fatal crash on North Broadway in Minot during the early morning of June 23....
I find it hard to believe that someone involved in a fatal crash and had obviously been drinking hasn't been charged. This person was driving the wrong way on N. Bdwy and said she was confused, well alcohol will do that. After all this, her name wasn't released until the Mayor had to get involved. Sounds like a cover up of some sort.

NEWARK — Talk about being popular.
A Greater Newark Fresh Air Fund official says she can review more than 700 applications a year from eager Essex County youngsters hoping to spend part of their summer vacation at camp.
And for the past 130 years, the fund has made that wish possible for countless Newark-area children by raising money to send them to daytime and sleep-away camps in rural parts of New Jersey and New York.
Last year, said Trish Morris-Yamba, executive director of the Newark Day Center, which administers the fund, enough money was raised to send 402 kids to camp.
Now it's time to dig into the applications and make as many kids as possible happy.
"My primary goal or purpose for the fund is to give kids a chance to experience new things and to just have fun — like kids are supposed to," Morris-Yamba said Tuesday, as the fund held its kickoff luncheon. "A lot of kids from urban areas have so much going on around them that they don't get to just be kids in a nonthreatening environment."
The event at the Newark Museum brought out several prior co-chairs of the fundraising campaign, including Karim Kaspar from last year, Essex County Sheriff Armando Fontoura, Zach Yamba and Robert Steinbaum, as well as Douglas Solomon, who with his partner Angelo Genova at the law firm Genova, Burns, Giantomasi & Webster, are co-chairs of this year's effort.
Also attending were members of the Newark Day Center, civic leaders and — perhaps most significantly — kids who have gotten to go to camp.
Five youngsters attended the luncheon, each a winner of the fund's annual photo and essay contest in which they recounted their camp experiences in either a drawing or essay.
The winners were awarded gift certificates in the 7-to-12 age categories.
Morris-Yamba said the contest provides the fund with direct feedback on children's camp experiences.
Nyasia Montgomery, an 11-year-old fifth-grader, went to camp last summer and reflected on the growth she underwent.
"Being in camp taught me basic survival skills," she said, adding, "I believe learning new things helps one to be successful in life."
More than a third of the fund's donations come from the "Battle of the Barristers" charity softball tournament between Essex County law firms.
Morris-Yamba said it began decades ago as a friendly competition between two law firms. After raising $5,000, the firms sought a charitable organization to which they could donate the money and decided on the Fresh Air Fund.
Since then, the battle has raged on.
Solomon, tasked with organizing this year's game, said he hopes the money generated by the law firms translates into dreams fulfilled. He said a donation to the fund means a unique camp experience for a child who otherwise would not have it.
"The resurgence of Newark, and of our greater state, relies on our children," Solomon said.

Eminem and Jordan Brand were a match made in heaven a few years back when it came to the vigorously sought after collaboration models like the Air Jordan II and IV. It's been a while since we saw JB and Slim Shady link up, but now we get our first look at a new Spiz'ike unmistakably inspired by the infamous Eminem Encore Air Jordan IV. While it's still unclear if there is any official tie to the rapper for this go-around, the color combo and application make it hard to ignore the Air Jordan IV influences. You can check out some more info after the jump and stay tuned for more info coming soon. via MarqueeSole
Update: Marquee Sole had unknowingly nicknamed these the Eminem Jordan Spizike, but these are really Spike Lee Knicks PE's that he showed off and wore back in April.

Wow, incredible blog layout! How long have you been blogging for? you made running a blog glance easy. The overall glance of your site is excellent, as neatly as the content material!
How y'all mess this up it's obvious from the 40 acres and a muel emblem on the rear f the right shoe it's not eminem lol
those kickz r cool but im not a nyc fan!
Nice color scheme esp with the icey bottom

DOPE EDIT!.. good to see y'all at least changed it!:D..

Actually no it's not spike lee's because it's off a shade compared to spike lees nd the nside isn't the same
Spikes had a blue Jordan VI lace/tongue clip joint, these have a black one. Plus compare the sock liner. I don't care if it's Knicks or Eminem, these are dope and because they are Spizikes they should just get the regular GR treatment.
C'MON SON!.. Sneakernews.. y'all had a fuckin piece on the Spike Lee New York Knicks Pe's.. HOW THE FUCK y'all gon call it the Eminem right now!?...
Looks exactly like the Knicks PE spizikes (Blue pair), except for the slight variation in color and lining... Still color blocking is sweet
Those look ridiculous. And I don't know if I mean that in a good or bad way.
these the blue joints spike lee had right?
These are spike lee kicks PEs smh nothing tomdo with eminem at all or encore
absolutely nothing eminem about them. it's like calling every blue shoe ''Eminems''
Wow sneaker news is stupid these are spike lees PEs he had custom made and wore to the Knicks game
Hope yhis comes out soon i love it when slim collaBorate with jordan
These go H.A.M.
These are really nice. I'm a big fan of the skizike but its been a while cince ive seen a cw I actually like.
I. Must. Have. These....... MUST!!!

School, work and sports come with a lot of responsibilities. School comes with the grades, and showing up every day. Sports, you have to show up to all games and practice a lot. Then there is work, you need to show up everyday and sometimes work long shifts. What can you do to juggle all this in your busy schedule without becoming frustrated?
Well, take one thing at a time. Don't try and joggle to many things in your schedule. If you don't have a choice, I recommend getting a lot of sleep. Being tired will not improve your mood any more. Eat a health meal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Don't let something go for to long or wait till the last minute. You might have other things to do also and everything will only pile up. The final tip I can give, is to just take a deep breathe and calm down. If your prepared you will never become frustrated with a busy schedule.

Brooklyn Mavis
Demands to apologize, recant accusations unwarranted, unjustified from P.E.I. board
Harassment, intimidation, discrimination and bullying are words one would normally hear as the result of actions of a student or students against a classmate. They are certainly not the words one expects to come from a parent and student against a school or school board.
The controversy surrounding 15-year-old B.C. student Brooklyn Mavis, who was told to stay home from a trip to P.E.I. because she has autism and epilepsy, is nothing short of a disgrace.
The P.E.I. English Language School Board and Bluefield Senior High School find themselves in a truly embarrassing situation. All the details have yet to come out, but it appears the worst affront is a demand from the P.E.I. board for the parent and student to apologize and recant accusations of discrimination made in the press. Only after the delicate feelings of the board are massaged would the student now be allowed to come on the trip.
That is indeed bullying. And shame on the board for making such a demand. "Say you're sorry and you can come to our gentle Island." Well, no thank you.
There are apologies needed here alright. They should come from the P.E.I. board, Bluefield and Education Minister Alan McIsaac to the B.C. teen, her mother, fellow classmates and the B.C. school.
It's discrimination against a student to suggest she can stay in a motel room by herself — alone, isolated and ostracized — while her classmates are billeted at the homes of Bluefield students.
Mavis' mother, Melanie Bowen, signed waivers about her daughter's disabilities in November and Brooklyn was accepted to go on the trip scheduled for May 13. The B.C. teen and her family then fundraised for months.
P.E.I. students went to B.C. in March. It was on the first leg of the exchange that Brooklyn suffered a partial seizure, starting the chain of over-reaction. Now it's time for B.C. students to come east and suddenly there is a problem. Brooklyn received a letter from Bluefield, telling her to stay home. One can only imagine how that made her and her classmates feel. The family went public while negotiations apparently continued behind the scenes seeking some sort of compromise or accommodation.
If there are concerns about Brooklyn's health, they would best be known and addressed by her family, school and teachers in B.C. It should not be up to a school or school board on P.E.I. to decide if conditions are not safe or acceptable.
The board said it hopes that over time, perhaps Brooklyn would be a suitable candidate for exchange — as long as it's some other school in some other province at some other time.
Why is board superintendent Cynthia Fleet so
surprised and disappointed by allegations of discrimination by the B.C. teen? What words would Ms. Fleet use to describe the treatment afforded Brooklyn?
A resolution between all parties for a support plan to ensure the student's safety and inclusion in the trip was shattered when the board pressed forwarded with the apology and recantation demands.
The public attention made Brooklyn feel further victimized by having to take her story to the media. An apology and retraction is not a solution, it just makes things worse. And now a school, normally a welcoming and inclusive place, has turned its back on her.
Discussions continue to try and come to a resolution and allow Brooklyn to come to P.E.I. and feel welcome here. But now the teen no longer wants to come to the Island. That is a real tragedy.

NASCAR on Monday suspended driver Kurt Busch until June 13 for his verbal tirade after Saturday's Nationwide Series race at Dover International Speedway.
Busch had been asked a question by Sporting News reporter Bob Pockrass related to Busch's on- and off-track confrontation with driver Justin Allgaier. Busch replied by threatening to beat Pockrass while Speed TV's cameras were taping him.
The suspension means that Busch will not be allowed to compete in this weekend's race at Pocono Raceway for his Phoenix Racing team. NASCAR cited his verbal abuse of a member of the media and the fact that he was already on probation until July 25 for an incident at Darlington in which his crew mixed it up with Ryan Newman's crew after the race.
NASCAR also extended Busch's probation until the end of the year.
UPDATE: Kurt Busch has released a statement on his suspension. It says, "I accept NASCAR's decision. I put them in a box, they had to take action and it's my fault for putting them in this position. I apologize for the comments I made to Bob Pockrass."
Here is video of the incident:

Big Phony, aka NYC-Los Angeles coast-hopper Bobby Choy, has quietly stayed under the radar, crafting folk-pop tracks overloaded with catchy melody after catchy melody, all equally understated via Choys carefully wistful, mellow performance skills. Songs like the concise Short Intermission, Talk of the Town, and live, self-deprecating favorite Girls Like You Dont Go For Guys Like Me recollect the folk-pop stylings of Elliott Smith, while his voice echoes that of Sean Lennon or Smith himself; he probably wont remain under the radar for long.
Field Music - (Measure) - Memphis Recordings
Technically an eponymous set with the Measure subtitle (to separate it from the bands eponymous debut), Field Musics latest offers up 20 tracks of the quartets guitar-focused English art-rock, complete with snippets of influence from Fleetwood Mac, Roxy Music, and The Smiths, among others. Blues-inflused Each Time is a New Time is one of the discs more notable tracks, as are the more poppy The Rest is Noise, See You Later, and the slacker anthem Them That Do Nothing, all flourished with plenty of FMs subtle guitar work.
FM Belfast - How to Make Friends - Kimi Records
The second FM of this weeks column, this particular one hails from Iceland (despite the Irish-referential band name) and crafts a sound best described as earthy electronica. From quirky songs about getting new eyeglasses (Optical) to the more serious, cold synths of tracks like President and VHS, the band - whose members constantly change number based on who happens to be around - have a little more than the usual sense of humor, too - as evidenced by their mellow interpretation of Technotronics Pump Up the Jam.
Juliana Hatfield - Peace and Love - Ye Olde Records
Former Blake Babies bandmate and ongoing Evan (Lemonheads) Dando muse Hatfield set forth to track her latest album all by herself - literally - writing, performing, producing, engineering, and mixing the album alone. The evolution of her latest crop of songs might seem to be relationship-focused at first, but is actually as much about randomly pensive moments, from the crunchy-guitard What Is Wrong to the reflective Why Cant We Love Each Other and Hatfields ode to Dando himself (Evan.) Its both accomplished and personal.

SAN ANTONIO — From their low moment in the NBA Finals, back to the top of the league.
The San Antonio Spurs turned the rematch with the Miami Heat into no match at all.
The Spurs finished off a dominant run to their fifth NBA championship Sunday night, ending the Heat's two-year title reign with a 104-87 victory that wrapped up the series in five games.
A year after their heartbreaking seven-game defeat, their only loss in six finals appearances, the Spurs won four routs to deny Miami's quest for a third straight championship.
"Hard to believe, isn't it? Manu Ginobili said. ''We played at a really high level."
Kawhi Leonard, named the finals MVP, had 22 points and 10 rebounds for the Spurs. San Antonio added this title to the ones the Spurs won in 1999, 2003, '05 and '07. They nearly had another last year, but couldn't hold off the Heat and lost in seven games.
San Antonio rebounded from an early 16-point deficit by outscoring the Heat 37-13 from the start of the second quarter to midway in the third.
The celebration the Heat cancelled last season was on by the early second half Sunday.
LeBron James had 17 first-quarter points to help the Heat get off to a fast start. But it wasn't enough. He finished with 31 points and 10 rebounds for the Heat, who lost their spot atop the NBA to the team that had it so long.
The Spurs won four titles in nine years, but hadn't been back on top since 2007, making Foreigner's "Feels Like the First Time'' and appropriate song choice after the final buzzer.
Tim Duncan and coach Gregg Popovich have been here for all of them, and it was the fourth for Tony Parker and Ginobili, who with Duncan are once again the reigning the Big Three in the NBA.
"Just a great team and we do it together,'' Parker said.
Bosh finished with 13 points and Wade just 11 on 4-of-12 shooting for the Heat, providing James nowhere near the help he needed.
The painful conclusion to last year served as the fuel for this one, powering the Spurs to a 62-win season that topped the NBA and led to a rematch with Miami, the NBA's first in the finals since Chicago beat Utah in 1997-98.
Round 2 went to the Spurs, but both teams will challenges to navigate for a rubber match.
San Antonio will face questions – as it has for years – about the age of its core, and whether Duncan, Ginobili and Popovich want to stick around. The Heat will brace for the potential free agency of James, Wade and Bosh, and will need younger, fresher pieces around the three All-Stars if they all stay.
But this moment belongs to the Spurs. Playing a methodical style for many years that was predicated on throwing the ball into Duncan made San Antonio respected, but never beloved. The Spurs were TV ratings killers, casual viewers finding them not much fun to watch.
But Popovich opened up the offence a few years ago, making the Spurs an easy-to-like, tough-to-beat group that thrives on ball movement and 3-point shooting.
"You showed the world how beautiful this game is,'' Commissioner Adam Silver told the Spurs during the postgame award ceremony.
A decade and a half after winning their first title in 1999, when Duncan was in his second season, the Spurs remain the NBA's model organization, a small-market team that simply wins big and hardly ever does it with a high draft pick. Instead, the Spurs found players overseas or in other organizations who would fit the Spurs' way of doing things and mesh with the Duncan, Parker and Ginobili, the winningest trio in post-season history.
That included Leonard, acquired in a draft-night trade with Indiana after playing at San Diego State, and Patty Mills, an Australian national who scored 17 points off the bench.
No team has overcome a 3-1 deficit in the finals, but the Heat were confident they could keep this season going, Bosh saying earlier Sunday that the Heat were going to win.
It appeared they would do it easily the way the game started, with James coming out with force on offence and shutting down Parker on defence as Miami went ahead 22-6.
But it didn't last.
While it took San Antonio a little while to get warmed up, the Spurs eventually made it look stunningly easy again _ much to the delight of the home crowd, with fans standing, chanting and dancing much of the second half.
Notes: It was the Spurs' 12th win by 15 or more points, most ever in a post-season. The Spurs outscored opponents by 214 points in the post-season. ... Miami had won 11 straight series, tied for the fifth-longest streak in NBA history.
Kawhi Leonard could have been devastated by losing last season's NBA Finals.
Instead, he vowed to get better.
Just think – the San Antonio Spurs' youngest star is only getting started. He's a champion now, with the Spurs beating the Miami Heat 104-87 on Sunday night in Game 5 of the NBA Finals, finishing off a 4-1 triumph. And after watching the Heat celebrate last season, Leonard was the pick as MVP of the series, accepting his award from 11-time champion Bill Russell.
When Commissioner Adam Silver announced Leonard as the MVP, he was mobbed by his teammates and Spurs coach Gregg Popovich roared with laughter, knowing Leonard would have to do what he hates most _ talk about himself.
"Right now, it's just surreal to me,'' Leonard said. "I have a great group of guys behind me.''
Leonard had 22 points and 10 rebounds, his third straight big game in the series. He fouled out in the fourth quarter, which was barely noticed after the job he did helping keep LeBron James in some sort of check over the final three quarters.
When it was over – actually, a few seconds before it was over – James led a group of Heat players down to the Spurs' bench for the first round of congratulatory hugs.
The first one he gave, and rightly so, was to Leonard. It was James taking the trophy from Russell in each of the last two seasons, after Miami's titles.
This time, the night belonged to Leonard, a 22-year-old who the Spurs have long thought was the heir apparent to the Big 3 of Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker.
The Big 3 in San Antonio is still championship-good.
But their key guy now might be Leonard, who just took over this series.
"They just told me, 'Keep being aggressive,''' Leonard said.
He listened. And they won – and he became the youngest Finals MVP since Tim Duncan won it for the Spurs in 1999.
James went to the bench midway through the fourth quarter, took a seat and covered his eyes with his left hand.
His night was over.
His reign atop the NBA, also over.
The only thing James plays for is championships and this season, he didn't get a chance to grasp the Larry O'Brien Trophy. A 31-point, 10-rebound effort wasn't enough to get Miami past San Antonio on Sunday night.
So for the first time since June 21, 2012, the Heat are not NBA champions. This four-year run with James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh together has seen huge success – a league-best 283 wins, four straight trips to the NBA Finals to join only the Celtics and Lakers as franchises to pull off that feat, plus two NBA championships.
They've won 71 per cent of their games in these four seasons.
Here's something that might sound surprising: The Spurs have been better over that stretch, winning 73 per cent of the time.
And now, ready or not, here comes the summer of possible Miami discontent.
James, Wade and Bosh can all opt out of their contracts and become free agents. They'll likely all tell the Heat their plans by June 29, or two days before the free-agency window opens. Shane Battier is retiring, his career ending after 13 seasons on Sunday night. Just about everyone else, including Mario Chalmers – who came off the bench for the first time in three years Sunday – is a free agent.
Just about every spot on the roster could be up for grabs. Backup point guard Norris Cole is under contract for next season and little-used centre Justin Hamilton has a partially guaranteed deal, though he expects to be in Miami.
There are huge questions. Wade missed about one-third of the regular season for maintenance and injuries, and clearly laboured as the NBA Finals wound down. James had a monster finals, and the Heat still lost in five games – so now the biggest issue facing Miami will be how to get him the help he needs to vie for more titles.
That is, if James even stays. He has given no indication he's leaving. He hasn't said he's staying, either.
"I'm in a good place in my life,'' James said Saturday. "It's basketball ... the greatest sport in the world. I love it. It's done so many great things for me, but it's just basketball. It's just basketball. I go all into it. I give everything to this game.''
James announced before the game that he would change his typical approach, which was his way of saying that he was going to be more aggressive from the outset and not worry so much about getting teammates involved in the early minutes.
"Follow my lead,'' he told teammates before they took the floor.
It worked. For a while, anyway.
James had 17 points and six rebounds in the first quarter, plus a spectacular chase-down block on one end and a 30-footer to beat the shot clock at the other. Miami led 22-6 in the early going, holding the Spurs to their longest scoreless start of the season. Everything was looking like the Heat got to script the way the opening minutes would go.
And then, thud.
Like so many other times in these finals, the Spurs went on a run and just kept running. By midway through the second quarter, San Antonio had the lead. Early in the third, it reached double digits. Midway through the third, it was up to 21 – which, at that point, marked a staggering 37-point turnaround from the opening moments.
In the end, the Heat became the 32nd team unable to overcome a 3-1 deficit in the finals, even though there was no storyline that James would have savored more than being the team to buck that trend.
"Why not us?'' James asked Saturday.
The Spurs were that good. That's why not.

Masorti's vision for the next 10 years was outlined to a record 200 guests at the movement's annual dinner at the New North London Synagogue, Finchley, on Sunday.
"We aim to double our membership, bringing the amount of individuals in the Masorti family to 15,000," chief executive Matt Plen told them. "We also hope to establish new synagogues in key demographic areas."
Services for youngsters and young adults were paramount, with investment in both Noam and Marom, "our highly successful youth movements, that will foster generational loyalty. And, of course, we will continue to resource our dynamic lay and rabbinic leadership development programmes. After all, Masorti Judaism is all about providing traditional Judaism for modern Jews."
Senior Masorti rabbi, New North London's Jonathan Wittenberg, said the movement was "the only place where I feel I can really be Jewish in a sense that I can truly understand as authentic".
Keynote speakers were journalist Jonathan Freedland and Margo Miller, past chair of Democrats Abroad and an influential fundraiser for Hillary Clinton
They discussed the implications of President Obama's re-election, particularly for Israel.
Co-chair Nick Gendler made the appeal following a film depicting a day in the life of the Masorti youth workers. "We punch way above our weight already," he said. "Yet we need to better present our unique approach to Judaism to achieve our ambitious vision for the future."
Bringing in £50,000, the dinner was Masorti's most successful fundraiser.

I got the opportunity to do some styling this week for a magazine shoot at one of my clients' homes. It was so much fun! Working on the stage 1 renovation of this house was one of my favourite jobs of the year, mainly because the clients are such great people, but also because we agreed on everything and from the beginning saw the same vision of how the house could ultimately look. The full spread will be published early next year, and I'll give you a heads up closer to the time.
Have a great weekend and see you next week!

I had posted this in the "Sleep or Lack of it" section but got no replies, so i figured I'd re-post it here, I apologize if this causes an inconvenience.
My 3 week old is starting to sleep through the night. Last night she slept from about 10pm till 3am, which is a long stretch for her. Some nights she will even go 6 hours. At this age is it okay for her to go this long without a feeding? I feel like I should be happy she sleeps at night so I myself can finally catch some zzz's, but I'm worried that she should still be eating every 2-3 hours like she had been.
Perhaps I'm freaking out over nothing (like I usually always am), but my LC's and nurses in the hospital drilled it in my head that a newborn needs to eat every 2-3 hours, at least 8-10 times in 24hrs and that newborns WILL sleep through hunger. I prefer to feed her on demand rather than by the clock, but I still catch myself watching the clock and timing how long its been since the start of her last feeding.
Can anyone help put my fears to rest so that maybe I can get some sleep? lol, thanks

In today's dispatches….
Oh, hell with it. I only thought that Dr. Kate, Birther Report, and Lame Cherry were the middens of birtherstan. Sadly in the last 48 hours, I was proven wrong.
"Freedom Outpost" and "Godfather Politics" have just earned my undying contempt and have also contributed to my rapidly falling opinion of the human race as a whole. The commenters on those sites will not be happy until the US Government is overthrown, the Constitution is on fire, and President Obama (plus his entire family) is executed live on TV.
You think I'm joking? Gods I wish I was. This is one of those times I WISH someone was bankrolling me, because quite frankly, those damned sites have made me sick to my stomach.
We also have Lawrence Sellin's first post-election hissy fit, complete with questionable math. Dr. Orly wants Viscount Monckton to join her crazy train. Gabe Zolna is showing himself to be a racist paranoid nut. Dan Lacey comes up with a new painting sure to really piss off Dr. Orly.
The Western Center for "Journalism" seems to have no problems at all with racist commentary. Dr. Orly comes up with Yet Another Lawsuit. And a birthed-related lawsuit in Tampa is amazingly over the top for sheer insanity,

The Voice: Winter 2002
Our alums make a difference in today's world
It happened again recently. This time the request came from a granting agency from which Dordt was seeking support. It said, Briefly describe the accomplishments of your alumni.
How do I begin to tell the accomplishments of 12,000 alumni in this two-inch space? I
wondered. My answer could determine whether or not we were awarded the grant. It was obvious
that a representative sampling of alumni accomplishments would have to suffice_and was
probably what was being asked for. Having determined that, I was still at a loss as to how to
choose which alumni and their accomplishments best represented Dordt's alumni body.
I could mention some of our education graduates who've been honored as teachers or principals
of the year. But what about all the others who may be just as competent and committed, but who
haven't been recognized beyond their classroom?
I could refer to the handful of clergy whose accomplishments have gained national prominence
for them. But are the accomplishments of our graduates in the pastorate who quietly and
faithfully minister to their congregations any less noteworthy? Are the achievements of
someone who builds a successful business or occupies a strategic leadership position in a large
multi-national corporation more significant than the accountant or assistant whose reliable work
is critical to the business's success? Or what of the graduate who brings his business expertise to
the non-profit agency that serves people in need? Aren't those accomplishments worth noting?
Perhaps the alumni who are making an impact in their profession as physicians, surgeons,
optometrists, dentists, ought to make the list. But what of those professional social workers
whose efforts among the neediest of needy often go unnoticed? Or the graduate who takes a
break from a career, or sets it aside entirely to give full attention to family? Which of these
accomplishments ought to be described to the granting agency?
In the end, space permitted me to submit only a short list of alumni accomplishments. I wish I
could have listed more, but I was encouraged and grateful that it represented in a small way some
of the ways that Dordt alumni are making a difference in the world.

Not Ordinary Men (Book) Review
by Mark Barnes - War History Online
Publisher: Pen and Sword Books Ltd
Author: John Colvin
Type: Paperback
Pages: 272
Buy Not Ordinary Men from Amazon
This book was first published in 1994 and has seen several reprints. The author John Colvin knew his subject. He was born in Japan, he knew the people. He had fought them and taken their surrender in Saigon. His writing style is often fast flowing like your favourite brook from a childhood memory where you looked for tadpoles – where it widens and gets a little lazy or where it is trickier to ford. At times it slows to a dormant meander and you get a little hazy and then it zooms off again. You want to throw stones into it. But the detail is all there and so are the magnificent people. Too many of them die.
Inevitably we find ourselves drawn to the Epitaph written by the classicist John Maxwell Edmonds who never set foot anywhere near Burma, but was inspired by similarities with Simonides and the Spartans at Thermopylae. He wrote the immortal lines
When You Go Home, Tell Them Of Us And Say? For Your Tomorrow, We Gave Our Today.
Those lines get you, don't they? Don't say they don't. I defy you. Poems come out all long and way too wordy and I can't be doing with all that. But there in two lines you have it all. Sacrifice and Remembrance. Take note. Never forget. Nuff said.
The British 2nd Infantry Division included proud regiments whose colours bear the battle honour "Kohima" as well they might. But only one regiment from the actual garrison, the Royal West Kents, through the epic fought by the sturdy 4th Battalion has "Defence of Kohima" on theirs. They endured horrors of the like no man should bear against that most resilient and terrifying enemy, the Japanese soldier. They withstood the jungle and all its evils. They took it all on and won. But the things that were done to them left a terrible mark and down the years they have faded away as old British soldiers do. When they held a gathering of veterans at Kohima many years ago; British, Indian and Japanese, nobody from the West Kents would go. Feelings remain raw.

Skip to comments.Ok Freepers what's the Response
Posted on 02/20/2011 8:09:40 PM PST by PaulZe
I got this email from my liberal friend of mine. Before I respond I present it to my fellow Freepers for opinions on how best to respond:
Nelda Elder posted this on the Washington Post's Facebook page. She's from Kansas, and looks to be in her mid to late 50's. She uses the term "teabagger". But do remember that NOT everyone knows this can also mean a sexual act; it's not exactly a common one. I didn't know it; I'm betting she doesn't either. It's just easier to say "Teabagger" than "TeaPartier" or whatever description they're using now:
"The Teabagger gets up at 6:00am to prepare his morning coffee.
He fills his pot full of good clean drinking water because some liberal fought for minimum water quality standards.
He takes his daily medication with his first swallow of coffee. His medications are safe to take because some liberal fought to insure their safety and work as advertised. All but $10.00 of his medications are paid for by his employers medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance, now The Teabagger gets it too.
He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs this day. The Teabagger's bacon is safe to eat because some liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry.
The Teabagger takes his morning shower reaching for his shampoo; his bottle is properly labeled with every ingredient and the amount of its contents because some liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained.
The Teabagger dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some tree-hugging liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air.
The Teabagger begins his work day; he has a good job with excellent pay, medicals benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. The Teabagger's employer pays these standards because The Teabagger's employer doesn't want his employees to call the union.
If The Teabagger is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed he'll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some liberal didn't think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune.
It's noon time, The Teabagger needs to make a Bank Deposit so he can pay some bills. The Teabagger's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some liberal wanted to protect The Teabagger's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the depression.
The Teabagger has to pay his Fannie Mae underwritten Mortgage and his below market federal student loan because some stupid liberal decided that The Teabagger and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime.
The Teabagger is home from work, he plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive to dad's; his car is among the safest in the world because some liberal fought for car safety standards.
He arrives at his boyhood home. He was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural loans. The house didn't have electric until some big government liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification. (Those rural Republicans would still be sitting in the dark)
He is happy to see his dad who is now retired. His dad lives on Social Security and his union pension because some liberal made sure he could take care of himself so The Teabagger wouldn't have to.
After his visit with dad he gets back in his car for the ride home. He turns on a radio talk show, the host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good (He doesn't tell The Teabagger that his beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit The Teabagger enjoys throughout his day).
The Teabagger agrees, "We don't need those big government liberals ruining our lives."
Is this from one of the Wisconsin Fleebaggers?
There is no hope to convince someone as kooky and naive as this that she is wrong.
Ask her how the heck she know so much about Anderson Cooper's morning routine.
Don't respond and find a new friend.
He gets hit by a truck and is killed because some liberal made them downsize the cars.
Tell them to go eff themselves. Liberals are the flesh eating bacteria of the human race. They won't quit until they had destroyed everything.
Dont respond and find a new friend.
Ditto. You can't reason with someone who isn't your intellectual equal.
I'd write her off. Plain. And. Simple.
Don't be whiney, don't be anything but yourself...just tell her it's been real and YOU get on with your life.
And don't open ANYmore emails...
Yes. If you don't want me to kick your ass up to your shoulders, stop calling me "Teabagger, faggot."
Replace Tbgr with Constitutionalist and 'splain how each point is funded/enabled by a society empowered by the wealth generated by Protestant Christian precepts and the Founding Fathers understanding of human nature and governmental forms.
Who needs friends like that?
One would have to have been in a coma for the last five years not to know what that term means. No one is that naive. Find a new friend.
S/B "Teabagger," faggot.
Tell them that liberals are GREAT as doing things with OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY. Just give them ever greater portions of your paycheck and let them take more and more of your rights.
Tell them you don't need a freaking liberal nanny government to tell you how to wash your hair or how to fee your children or what to listen to or anything else.
What #3 said.
Listen to him.
Unless you're just out of beer, forget about her.
I was going to go line by line and point out the presumptions the loony lib makes...assuming we all use town drinking water (lots of us have wells) and that we all work for corporations that provide us with health insurance or workers compensation insurance (many of us are self-employed) or that third generation farms are dying because of the liberal's lust for the death tax...
...but really, don't bother. You cannot have a logical or temperate discussion with a liberal. Save yourself a lot of headache and do something productive.
On the way home he is carjacked and killed by illegal aliens because the sniveling liberals won't protect the borders or build prisons.
This is a liberal meme. She didn't write it and probably didn't read all of it. I think this almost exact same thing was posted about a week ago with "conservative" instead of teabagger.
I skimmed through it. Only a lib would think people are so helpless and irresponsible without government to protect them. Today government would have kept pioneers and gold rush hunters at home because it would be considered too dangerous. Thank God people thought for themselves in 1773! Now government does it for us. They even tell us to keep screwdrivers away from our eyes. Aren't we lucky to have government? *puke*
Just say, Bite me and thanks for that bit of information. Lets just spread the filth, shall we? She knows exactly what "it" means. This truely a fight between good and evil.
The liberal wakes up at noon living off of the taxes the TeaBagger pays.
Nixon started the EPA.
The meat gets recalled often because of liberals allowing illegals to work the plants.
"He gets hit by a truck and is killed because some liberal made them downsize the cars."
Cue the Paul Shanklin "In a Yugo" song.
Bukkake Hussein Osama
The liberal is alive because the tea bagger convinced his mom not to have an abortion.
And tell your friend Dad lost the farm because he can't pay the property taxes and school taxes just went up again. It costs money, LOTS of it, to protect us from ourselves and help the kids underperform in school.
This only applies to the few teabbagers that stil have jobs.
The Unions pushed all the Jobs offshore.
Your friend needs to know the word is akin to using the F bomb. Tell her exactly what it means. And ask her if it is true that the liberals created the world in 7 days since they claim to have done everything else. If she is the slightest offended, tell to go teabag a liberal.
"The Teabagger agrees, "We don't need those big government liberals ruining our lives."
—Strange that they didn't mention the Trillions of dollars of pissed away money, plummeting homes values, moral destitution, inner city crime and poverty, 19 % real unemployment, declining education standards, and future decimation of our health care system- all thanks to the various programs of those wonderful big government liberals...
When does it end? That's the consistent problem. Liberals are unable to ever declare victory against an issue, because without fear and hypocracy, they have nothing. The safety features in the newest cars are more likely to kill the person that it is trying to save now, when you take into account new crush requirements for car roofs and the massive pillars needed to support them, making huge blind spots.
He doesn't gain as much interest at the bank because of the hidden taxes of regulation and insurance, and as a percentage of GDP, he's much more likely to lose money from federal theft of his investments than any bank crash.
His employer is demanding more and more work for the same pay to cover those massive pension and health requirements. If tomorrow the employer could offer him the thousands of dollars a month the company blows on insurance, he could buy a more moderate plan and have another 12k of income or retirement money.
Rather than encourage more rural electric development, it has now become a tax on the cities, hitting hardest the retirees who need to live in the dark to afford food.
Time and time again the good ideas that liberals like to crow about are destroyed because they don't know when to stop.
Liberals believe this!
No one could live here until Liberals came from their planet and colonized Earth in the late 60's.
Tell her that American Liberals have morphed into
neo-Marxist, and ask how she would have liked living in the now defunct Soviet Union.
You might also explain what a teabagger is, and point it out as an example of the moral degradation of America's neo-Marxist/liberals.
It reads nicely, a classic example of one of those
"anonymous" made-to-be-circulated-on-the-Internet kinds of ready-made verbal artifacts.
Unfortunately, each and every point is self-servingly untrue, wildly distorted, and grossly exaggerated.
But all of this is by now well-known as the way modern Leftists 'do business':create highly debatable talking points which fudge-brained dunces love to quote as if they're actually participating in a 'dialogue'.
They say the same crap over and over as if it's being said
for the VERY FIRST TIME, and by THEY THEMSELVES first and foremost, they say it with a self-satisfied smile of self-righteousness on their faces, and NONE of it ever answers
or takes into account the counter-arguments which have been out there since even BEFORE their idiotic
verbal conceits were first trotted out.
Ask him/her if she also knows about Liberal Icon FDR's
highly critical attitude, dating from the Depression about
Public Sector unions?
"The liberal is alive because the tea bagger convinced his mom not to have an abortion."
Now that's funny!
Your friend sounds like a bit of a narrcisist saying every good thing has been because of some liberal government program.
Most of the companies that have the best pay and benefits are non-union shops.
The Teabagger has to pay his Fannie Mae underwritten Mortgage as well as the mortgages of several others.
Still the liberal is asleep.
*** Any suggestions would gratefully accepted ***
Put a block on this person's email address so you don't get any more of this stuff.
And if they are going to use a slur like teabagger then you are in your right to use the term faggot to describe liberals.
I always consider 'teabagger' a slur. haven't read further.
Yeah, right - the belief is that conservatives want to drink dirty water and breath filthy air. It's crap. Here's what liberals gave us - food police - welfare dependency - bad schools - broken families and neighborhoods. And a country that has signs all over inner city neighborhoods advertising to get YOU your Social Security Disability. Yep, they're bankrupting the country... and have been for decades.
The silly liberal wakes up and decides to forward a chain email that repeatedly insults her friend with a term that means a perverse homesexual act and is filled with lies. Somehow that makes her feel superior.
How about that?
Oh - and your friend is a liberal - trust me - she knows what a 'teabagger' is and is expressing her hate for all conservatives - including you.
"All of your assumptions are fraudulent. They make great talking points but are without merit. Nor, did you come up with this list. If you wish to lay claim to everything in this email, pick one, just one point. Then we will talk about that one until it is finished. Then, we will do the same to the next until you realize everything you think you know, isn't so."
Liberals are lazy. Don't be lazy. Hold her to each point, one by one, and destroy her email and her pseudo-knowledge.
Every one of those events wold happen w/o the gummit and is why we are in the mess we are in. All of those benefits are paid for by private industry.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Josie Batter left with gray residue I bought the Aetisan mixer for my daughter at Christmas. She asked me why her batter had gray spots and I couldn't answer that one. I'm visiting and made pie crust with the same results. An Internet search came up with many complaints about a residue KA says is from finishing the bowl. KA recommends cleaning the bowl with salt and lemon juice or a baking soda paste or Barkeepers Friend. I tried the first two without good results. Frankly, I've never heard of this in quality cookware and my old Kitchenaid has never stained the food. Her paddle is ceramic so it's the bowl. I considered a glass replacement but they seem to shatter easily. So, thumbs down and buy beware. July 6, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by Lovee KitchenAid is a good product and made in America. This American made product is well made and durable. I'll be using my mixing bowl with handle for a long time. June 8, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by JeannieNSC More than I expected! I love my kitchen aid mixer bowl, it is exactly what I needed to replace my old worn bowl. This item included a lid that can be placed over bowl, which was even more than I expected! I can see where that will come in very handily. December 30, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Baker2 Excellent Capacity I absolutely love my KitchenAid stand mixer and this bowl is the perfect size for doubling many of my favorite recipes. I'm only giving it 4 stars since its missing a feature I wish it had, which is a pour spout. The glass and porcelain bowls have them, but they are too heavy once filled with a double recipe. September 23, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Grammagrace Very Please with this product My daughter who is a chef mentioned she could use another 5 qt accessory bowl for her kitchen aid and after searching the internet JC Penny was the best choice I found. When I gave her the bowl she was so surprised since she had been looking in stores herself and couldn't find one. I always check JC Penny for housewares first. Thank You for making my shopping easier. December 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by cdgray2440 Mixer I purchased my Kitchen Aid mixer in 1989. I use it 2 to 3 times a week since I bought it. The only problem I ever had was pouring hot food from the mixing bowl. I am now 73 and saw your replacement bowl with the handle and purchased it. I love it not only for the safety feature but for the ease of pouring it provides. Your products are indestructible. I should know after 24 years of constant use. October 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by hammer Love the handel. The handel makes it so much easier to pour the batter when making a cake. October 1, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by serenity815 LOVE IT !!! I have had my KitchenAid mixer for 7 years and can't live without it. Managing a full bowl was always challenging until I bought this one. That handle makes all the difference, and I love it! The plastic lid (aka dust cover) is a huge plus. No more having to wash the bowl before each use. I would highly recommend this to everyone.

Twitter's downloadable analytics are far from being as robust as social media juggernaut Facebook's, however, there are still a number of ways that you can slice and dice the data provided to glean deeper Twitter insights.
It is important to be clear about the distinction between strategy and tactics because misinformation leads to bad decision-making. There is too much at stake for this to not be perfectly clear.
Facebook's control over the content that appears in users' news feeds has rightfully been a hot topic of late, but the impact this has on our social media marketing efforts is really only half of the story.
The other half of the story, of course, is the impact it has on users.
Even if 'social media' isn't part of your job description, dedicating time to social media can be a boon for your career and enhance the value that you offer your organization, clients or customers, and coworkers.
The ill-advised focus that some organizations and people give to acquiring masses of Twitter followers, and the tactics they employ to inflate their numbers, is sometimes mind boggling.
There are numerous tools and services available that make filling your social media feeds with content incredibly easy, but just because it's easy, doesn't necessarily mean you should use them.
Failure is not an option, it is going to happen, which includes some of your efforts on social media. And that's okay… it's maybe even good.
There are many ways that you can use social media to great effect that have absolutely nothing to do with creating content.
An overview of what you can find within Twitter's native analytics, as well as how to find them, so that you too can benefit from having additional insight and information about your tweets and Twitter followers.
There are a huge number of ways that social media advocates can have a positive impact on your business.
The challenge is that identifying advocates isn't always a simple task, and more challenging still is finding ways to encourage those advocates to sustain high-levels of involvement within your social media communities.
Building trust can lead to increased loyalty, build advocacy, create evangelists, improve the potency of your marketing messages, mitigate customer churn, and generally strengthen the emotional connection people have with your brand.
Investing in social media customer service support and responding to consumer feedback can have a dramatically positive influence on purchase intent, and not just for the consumers you interact with.
Unless you've been spending the last couple of months on ICQ or MySpace, you know that Twitter recently launched a massive new redesign for user profiles. But is this just a precursor to an even bigger, more meaningful update?
The problem with 'engagement' is that it doesn't tell us much at all. It's not really a definitive indicator of anything except that someone clicked a button, or mashed a few keys on their keyboard.
Use of Pocket has been beneficial for me both personally and professionally, and if you're looking for a solution to help you to navigate and organize content more efficiently, I implore you to check it out.
There's amazing social media content to be shared that is entirely link-less, and we could be doing our businesses, or the brands we work on, a great disservice by publishing so much link-ridden content.
What if the solution for declining organic reach had more to do with user behaviour than complicated News Feed algorithms?
Thinking small about social media marketing is about dedicating yourself to affecting real business results in small increments, day after day, for great long-term impact.
Google+ may have just been validated as a bonafide social media heavyweight, right alongside the likes of Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, LinkedIn – and yes – even Facebook.
It's time again for an other episode of 3 LINKS, where I share some of the better blog posts that I've read in recent history on the subjects of social media marketing, content marketing, traditional marketing, business, or anything related.
Whether it's the New York Times publishing online ads, or it's you and your business publishing social media updates, we are all responsible for the content we publish and need to take responsibility to ensure its integrity, even if it's already been scheduled.
Properly responding to audience-initiated dialogues on social media is a great opportunity for you add value, increase affinity, build advocacy, and develop relationships with individual members of your community.
YouTube shouldn't be viewed solely as a video publication platform.
It should be just as socially driven as Facebook, Twitter, Google+, or any other social media network.
The same video uploaded twice, by the two parties responsible for its production respectively, with very different results. Why?
The impending organic reach apocalypse might seem like doom and gloom, but there are some things you can do to prepare your business for this seemingly inevitable event.
Creating meaningful social media content on an ongoing basis is a common challenge for SMBs, large corporations and agencies alike.
As they frequently do, Facebook has relatively recently made some changes to their platform that have changed how you go about activating targeting options for Timeline posts.
"Now, When a Page tags another Page, we may show the post to some of the people who like or follow the tagged Page". – Facebook
It's clear that engaging your business' audience on mobile social media is becoming increasingly critical.
The trouble I find many businesses have isn't about realizing that mobile is an important platform on which to have a solid presence, however, it's how to establish that presence, and where.
If you don't know PewDiePie, just look at any list of top subscribed YouTube channels and look toward the top of the list.
With over 22 million subscribers – only bested by YouTube category channels for 'music' and 'popular on YouTube – Worldwide' – there's no arguing that this is what ultimate YouTube success looks like.
There are actions you can take to support your content, amplify its success, enhance your returns from having made a meaningful contribution, and maybe even increase your chances of having subsequent guest contributions published.
Real-time marketing is here, and it has been here, to stay. There is huge opportunity for businesses and brands to interact with their audiences in real-time.
Businesses and brands, however, shouldn't one day per year get a 'real-time war room' together and hope for some serendipitous opportunity to present itself, or worse, shoehorn their message into a less than memorable moment.
Visible Measures reported that Super Bowl ads saw a total of 370 million online views last year, and ads released ahead of time received between 200-600 percent more impressions than those that didn't
So, this is all well and good, but what can be learned from this phenomenon and applied to your business?
The real reason I've historically been so interested in the Super Bowl really has nothing to do with the competition on the field, but more to do with the competition for consumers' attention and wallets, the advertising. And I know I'm not alone on this front.
In effort to shed some light on how Twitter can help small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), Twitter engaged Market Probe International to conduct research in hopes of proving how their platform can lead to real business results.
Some interesting findings emerged that – surprise, surprise – demonstrate that Twitter can indeed have a positive impact for SMBs.
It's been a while since I've published a 3 LINKS post featuring recent articles that I've found to be interesting, useful, entertaining or inspiring, but alas, here we go:
A problem that many of us have is that we create or crop our images to look best on the original site of publication, but don't take into account the many places our content may be spread.
There is a work around for this, however, which is pretty simple, and will all but guarantee that wherever you see the image associated with your blog post, that it will look great.
In my experience, job descriptions tend to kind of just… well… be job descriptions.
What I mean by that is that they're not exactly the first thing that businesses think about when conceiving of ways to push their business forward, promote and lead innovation, build and sustain brand advocacy, and ensure employees and coworkers are driving forces behind organizational social media success.
Predictions about what impact wearable tech will have on the social interactions brands have with, and digital utility that brands provide to, their audiences.
As the volume of content being created and published continues to explode, finding every opportunity to place your content in front of as large a proportion of your audience as possible is of utmost importance to maximize results.
You shouldn't simply follow best practices.
Of the 104 articles published on the RGB Social blog in 2013, the following 10 received the most number of views.
Setting goals and objectives to guide your social media marketing activity is critical to ensure that your efforts are making a meaningful and positive impact on your business.
Without well-defined goals and objectives, there is no way to determine what success looks like, no way to measure success, and no way to optimize. In short, without established goals and objectives, you're completely flying blind.
Google's YouTube Rewind video and compellations of top trending videos serve as a great way to remember, and in some cases discover, what people have been paying attention to over the last 300-some-odd days, and to gain some perspective of where video content may be headed in 2014.
For a medium that is supposed to be intrinsically social, much time can be spent on social media without having meaningful conversations.
This is particularly so for businesses and brands, where many use social media platforms not necessarily to be social, but to broadcast their message.
How can businesses effectively provide customer service on social media while not having their profile be overrun by negativity?
No matter how much time you spend thinking about every conceivable scenario that might play out on social media, it is impossible to think of them all.
Opportunities arise, competitors emerge, trolls attack, sites go down, preferences change, and sometimes, pigs fly.
This is the nature of social media and the world in which we live and our businesses operate. Things change fast. Really fast.
Spurring interaction and greater levels of engagement are effective for growing the loyalty and strength of your audience, as well as attracting new people to your brand.
Following are 4 methods to gain higher levels of interaction with your blog content.
It's no secret that people are making more purchases, and purchase decisions, online. Consumer purchase behaviour is undergoing a dramatic shift that is getting more pronounced every day, and unprepared retailers are seeing declines as a result.
Over the course of the last week or so, there have been several revealing statistics released to support that consumers are not only spending more time shopping online, but that brick and mortar shopping behaviour is being influenced by digital interactions, which of course includes social media.
While you're undoubtedly busy planning your personal social schedule with family and friends, now is also a perfect time to be planning your social media activity for the coming weeks. Planning can be critical to ensure you've got your ducks in a row for when you inevitably take a bit of time off to enjoy the season, and to sustain activity and engagement with your audience during this time.
If we stop thinking about the 'return' of ROI as end sales, and start thinking about 'return' as a sum of the value of all of the relevant aforementioned factors – which ultimately lead to sales – then calculating an ROI of social media can be much more achievable; not simple, but achievable.

Print Interview
We got it done in 1988 for the Cannes Film Festival. It was called Bad Taste, and it sold really well. The irony is that it was the fastest selling New Zealand film ever. New Zealand had made sort of worthy films, socially aware sort of, you know, slightly arty, pretentious films to some degree. And I come along, and the Film Commission, they have the job of selling all the New Zealand films at Cannes, and within the space of 48 hours, I think, Bad Taste had sold to more than 30 countries who'd come in and bought it, and we were already at that stage, way past the money. We were in profit. We'd gone way past what we actually spent on the film. It still gets sold now. The licenses always get renewed, and the film's sort of in constant circulation.
It seems like if you had been growing up in Hollywood, you would have been hard-pressed to go to the Los Angeles Film Commission and have them say, "Okay. You're a talented young filmmaker. You've never made a film before, but we're going to support this and make sure you have the money to finish it." So in a way, it sounds like you were helped by the fact that you were where you were.
Sir Peter Jackson: Yeah. Well, the New Zealand Film Commission, it was an odd one for them as well, because they're used to getting applications for films about the difficulties of bringing up a child by yourself after you divorced your husband or wife. You know, socially conscious, aware. The subjects of New Zealand films are often very bland and very boring and very uninteresting. Nobody in those days had a feeling of fantasy and imagination in the films, I didn't believe.
This film, I have to say was very gory. It was a splatter movie called Bad Taste. So it was not -- it was actually something very unusual for a government film organization to fund. I had a very good friend called Jim Booth who was the head of the -- I mean, he became a good friend. He was a sort of enemy at the beginning, 'cause he was the head of the Film Commission, but Jim supported it. He later left to become a producing partner with me, so he became a good friend, and he was the right guy at the Film Commission to actually do this. He was a person prepared to take risks and not to stick with the norm.
I left the newspaper, left my full-time job after seven years. I left at the moment the Film Commission came in with money for me to finish it. Quit my job, and I've never been back there since. Always felt that one day I might have to go back, but I guess now I probably can start to put those fears to rest. I still have recurring dreams that I'm back at the newspaper there, that things haven't worked out well in the film business, and I'm back in the photolithography department.
[ Key to Success ] Courage
There's one very interesting sort of gap in your résumé. A lot of filmmakers of your generation have a degree from a film school -- from USC or NYU or whatever. But you're a very impressive example of someone who taught themselves.
Sir Peter Jackson: New Zealand didn't have a film school. New Zealand didn't have a film industry when I was starting out with my early films. I was wanting to make movies in a country that didn't make films basically, didn't make anything. So I think I must have been assuming when I was young that I'd have to travel overseas, and I'd have to go to where Ray Harryhausen was if I was going to be his assistant or whatever. I certainly had a feeling that I wasn't able to stay in New Zealand.
I tried to get a job in the film industry when I left school, but I couldn't get any job at all. It wasn't an industry, it's just a bunch of people that make movies. There was nothing, no position I could go into. So I ended up at the newspaper. But anyway, by the time Bad Taste came out at Cannes, I was essentially a professional filmmaker at that point. I sort of ended up becoming a professional filmmaker because I got this film made in the weekends and it got sold at Cannes and it made money. So suddenly, I was there.
I wanted to keep the momentum going very quickly. I met up with some interesting people. I met up with Fran Walsh at this stage, and Steven Sinclair, another writer.
We started writing a zombie comedy film called Braindead, but we couldn't get the money for that. It was too expensive. So we had this other idea called Meet the Feebles, which was a cheaper idea based on puppets, like the Muppets, but puppets who do sex and drugs, and they murder each other, and when they shoot each other, squibs would fire off with blood spurts out of these puppets as they keep getting hit, and it's like this -- it's a very anarchic film, very funny actually. It's very funny. It's the one film I screened for the cast of King Kong last year when they came down to New Zealand. I got an old print out off the shelf, and we sat down and watched the Feebles, and they couldn't believe it. Sort of thought they should know who they're dealing with.
But anyway, Meet the Feebles was another one that sold well at the marketplace, that went to Cannes and sold well and made its money back very quickly, which enabled us to then finally get Braindead made, which is called Dead Alive in the U.S. That 's a very gory horror comedy about zombies.

24/7, 364 Days-a-Year National Security Secret Revealed; Updated
**Written by Doug Powers
You might have heard about about Janet Napolitano telling Diane Sawyer that the Obama national security team is working "24/7, 364 days a year" to protect the country.
Ever since that statement, the burning question in everybody's mind has been, "what is the one day off?" Wisely, not wanting to tip off those who would do us harm, Napolitano offered no further information.
As it turned out, a clue was contained in the same interview, because, at least as far as Director of National Intelligence James Clapper goes, we know that his one day off was this past Monday.
From Fox Nation:
Sawyer sat down with the trio of officials on the same day that British authorities arrested 12 men in England.
Brennan and Napolitano knew of the arrests and said that the plot would not have threatened the United States, but Director Clapper, who briefs the president daily on the nation's security, appeared to be unfamiliar with the events in London.
"First of all, London," Sawyer said. "How serious is it?
Any implication that it was coming here? … Director Clapper?"
"London?" Clapper said, before Brennan entered the conversation explaining the arrests.
Later in the interview, Sawyer returned to the subject.
"I was a little surprised you didn't know about London," Sawyer told Clapper.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't," he replied.
Intelligence Director Clapper seemed extra surprised when he was told that Bristol Palin placed third on Dancing With the Stars and teared up a bit after being informed Leslie Nielsen had passed away:
Update: The White House responds:
The White House counterterrorism adviser acknowledged Wednesday that the reason the nation's top intelligence official was stumped on an interview question two days ago about a major set of terror arrests in Great Britain was because his staff hadn't told him about it.
Adviser John Brennan said that Director of National Intelligence James Clapper should have been kept abreast of the situation and that "steps" are being taken to ensure he's not kept in the dark on such significant developments in the future. But Brennan defended Clapper, calling him the "consummate DNI."
The Director of National Intelligence didn't know because he wasn't briefed by his staff, but Diane Sawyer knew?

Ozric Tentacles
A band from another time, Ozric Tentacles served as the bridge from '70s cosmic rock to the organic dance and festival culture which came back into fashion during the '90s. Formed in 1983 with a debt to jazz fusion as well as space rock, the band originally included guitarist Ed Wynne, drummer Nick Van Gelder, keyboard player Joie Hinton, bassist Roly Wynne and second guitarist Gavin Griffiths (though Griffiths left in 1984). The Ozrics played in clubs around London, meanwhile releasing six cassette-only albums beginning with 1984's Erpsongs. (All six were later collected on the Vitamin Enhanced box set, despite a threatened lawsuit from the Kellogg's cereal company for questionable artwork.) In 1987, Merv Pepler replaced Van Gelder, and synthesizer player Steve Everett was also added. Ozric Tentacles' first major release, the 1990 album Erpland, foreshadowed the crusty movement, a British parallel to America's hippy movement of the '60s. Crusties borrowed the hippies' organic dress plus the cosmic thinking of new agers, and spent most of their time traveling around England to various festivals and outdoor gatherings. The movement fit in perfectly with bands like Ozric Tentacles and the Levellers, and the Ozrics' 1991 album Strangeitude became their biggest seller yet, occasioning a U.S. contract with Capitol. After the British-only Afterswish and Live Underslunky, 1993's Jurassic Shift hit number 11 on the British charts — quite a feat for a self-produced album released on the Ozrics' own Dovetail label. The album was released in America by I.R.S. Records, as was 1994's Arborescence. Neither album translated well with American audiences — despite the band's first U.S. tour in 1994 — and Ozric Tentacles returned to its Dovetail label for 1995's Become the Other. Waterfall Cities closed out the decade in 1999, and the following summer the group resurfaced with Swirly Termination. Hinton and Pepler also perform in the trance-techno outfit Eat Static, and have released several albums on Planet Dog Records. Ozric Tentacles surfaced in 2000 to release Hidden Step, followed by the EP Pyramidion. In 2002, Live at the Pongmasters Ball came out on both CD and DVD, making it their first venture into the latter. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
