Two other short video examples: Daily Reports ** ; Individual Charge **
Here is a review from a teaching Tennis Pro who has used the system for three years:
" Billing club members, and cash flow are the two biggest problems for Golf and Tennis Professionals. Members continually say a lesson was not given on a given date, or clothing purchases were not correct, because the billing cycle is monthly. Now there is a simple and inexpensive solution from Fischer. A program that starts at the beginning of the season by establishing accounts for all members, using their credit cards. When they take a lesson, or purchase equipment, they sign for the purchase and receive a receipt. On Sunday, you tell the computer to collect all the charges for the week and send those charges to the credit card companies automatically and with one push of a button! On Wednesday morning, the money is in the bank. Cash flow solved! No hassles!
The system provides reports for guest fees, customer balances, payments, daily reports, and customer chronological balances. This eliminates any problems encountered by the Professional. The system contains an inventory system, making it easy to sell lessons, clinics and equipment from the same screen.
This system eliminates pro shop managers, bookkeepers, and does your accounting. It is inexpensive, and pays for itself quickly. A must-have for the teaching professional."

I often wonder what the life of a 1950s housewife was like. How did Brooklyn housewives manage to accomplish their appointed tasks each day? Well, convenience and help seem to have been the keys to the homemaker's daily routine. Exciting advancements came through machines, pre-cooked foods, and easy solutions to prepared food storage. The Brooklyn Collection has photographs and ephemera that showcase moments in the life of a housewife and -- a happy surprise-- a 1950s househusband too!
In 1953, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle ran a photograph and article on the revolutionary idea that no one in their right mind would want to leave the comfort of their apartment building to buy such a simple item as say, a carton of milk. The answer? The Mechanical Milkman!
Here, we see a picturesquely dressed housewife purchasing milk in the lobby of her apartment building. This machine was on trial at the Clinton Hill apartments and eventually was installed in over 70 buildings in the city. Refreshed daily, the mechanical milkman held 140 quarts of milk. The article ends on a speculative note: There's no excuse now for meeting the new neighbors on the pretext of borrowing a cup of milk. However, there's always that cup of sugar. But who knows what the machine age will cum up with next." Indeed. Maybe a robot chef?
Sadly, the machine age did not come up with a robot chef, or at least the Eagle did not report on it. Something close to a robot chef however, came a few years before the Mechanical Milkman. Abraham & Straus found a convenient way to help the busy housewife prepare meals with pre-cooked entrees and side dishes ready to take home and serve.
The new food shop was created "for the woman whose daily schedule requires that dinner be whisked on to the table in a matter of minutes." This photo shows the "Prepared Food Section" stocked with "ready-to-serve and take-home" foods. Today, we can find prepared food counters in just about every grocery store, offering everything from roasted meats and vegetables to super gourmet organic rotisserie chicken, couscous and fully prepared Thanksgiving dinners. Did Abraham and Straus start the prepared food revolution? Probably not, but I am sure plenty of housewives enjoyed shopping for clothes and food for the whole family in one place.
And what about storage? You have purchased several delicious Ebinger's cakes and taken them out of the box and--Oh no! -- you've set out one too many cakes! What is to be done?
What excellent questions presented by these housewives. We all need help finding new ways to serve and store desserts. Ebinger Baking Company of Brooklyn published this guide to food storage to help answer such questions. A chart included inside the brochure was meant to be cut out and hung on the fridge door. It outlines how to store, refresh, and serve various Ebinger's products. Some suggestions include eating desserts while still partially frozen and an italicized note "Freezing does not provide indefinite storage".
While the housewife has been the focus of this post, let's not forget that husbands can be rather helpful around the home as well. While househusbands were, I'm sure, few and far between in the 1950s, I managed to find this photograph of Bob Baugh, London Broil Expert. The caption to the photograph reads, "Bob Baugh deftly flips a flank steak for London broil. An old hand at helping his wife get the meals, he thinks that perhaps he will have more to do in the culinary line within the next few weeks after the arrival of an heir." Wow, what a helpful househusband!
Bob inspired me to take a picture of my own Brooklyn househusband vintage 2009 for this post. Tim is an excellent cook and very much in charge of the day to day running of our apartment. Here we see my househusband preparing dinner for me on my return from a long day at work. While Tim is not a London Broil expert (I don't think that he has ever even cooked it), I believe I was quite happy with the bacon-wrapped trout and roasted potatoes. Yum!
One of the great memories of my childhood was brought back by the picture of that milk machine. The building next door to us, 1225 Avenue R, had one in the lobby. Almost 50 years later I am remembering the hum of its refrigerator, the sound of the change going in and the feeling of amazement as a container of milk thudded down for the taking. Best of all for my mom, who had babies at home, she could sent me as a 7 year old next door to get milk - no streets to cross.
Fun post!
The milk machine reminds me of the plethora of vending machines one sees in Japan, selling milk and all sorts of other goods. Not a bad idea, especially if the weather is really bad!

And There She Was - A Lesson learned
One of the very first stories I ever wrote, maybe 5 years ago now. Heavily edited since then of course but still one of my favourites. very funny in my opinion.
Alone at last, away from her stadium sized audience of giggling and protective girls that is forever surrounding her. Her...
Hang on... I haven't told you the story yet. I haven't even started. Err... sorry about that. I'll rewind a bit. Right, the day before. I was sitting on a ramp eating my lunch when my best friend, Jason came strolling across the courtyard grinning like the Cheshire Cat from Alice In Wonderland.
"Hey mate, what's the grin for?" I asked as he sat down next to me and peering into his lunchbox still grinning, he pulled out a sandwich.
"I got a smile from Rose in period 2," He beamed at me and took a bite of his sandwich.
"Ahh, that explains the grin you could drive a bus through." I chortled.
Rose is Rachael's best friend, and Rachael is the one I described in the start of the story. Rose is pretty and kind, most unlike Rachael who is selfish and bossy but very, very beautiful. But I really like her and you have to make sacrifices sometimes, so I guess I could live with that. I might even be able to change her, that is, if she goes out with me of course.
"Well, you know what we should do? It's Valentines Day tomorrow. We should ask them out. But not straight up, because it might scare them. What do you think? Just, talk for a bit, and, uhh, ask them to hang out sometime or whatever, I dunno, we'll improvise." I suggested as I stared at my apple, hoping the flesh would grow back.
"Yeah! Why not?" He took a bite of his sandwich and smiled at me. We raised our drink bottles and knocked them together.
"To love, and if it fails, we get our pride and respect sucked out of us if we get it wrong!" I toasted us and threw my apple core into the bin.
Just then Rose, "Queen" Rachael and her army of green jerseys and white T-shirts, brushed past. They were Rachael's group of 'friends'. Rachael didn't even look at me at all; she just stuck her nose in the air as if trying to balance it on her face in case it fell off. But Rose smiled at Jason and waved.
"Lucky bugger!" I muttered under my breath.
For the rest of lunch we talked about life in general (what it would be like to have girlfriends) and the latest range of Cessna aircraft, until the bell rang for our next class.
"Seeya' mate!" He shouted from the other side of the courtyard.
"Keep your fingers crossed!" I shouted while walking backwards.
"And your ass clenched!" He yelled back at me.
I laughed all the way back to our next class.
The next day I came to school and saw people kissing all around me. It was depressing to see so many happy couples and then there was me, lonely and unwanted. But I live with it. Love has never been my friend, ever. My heart has so many holes it must resemble something of a cheese grater. But what do you expect? That's love, it's the same for everybody. At least, I think so anyway.
Jason and I met later that day, hiding under a tree from the blistering sun and from all the pashing and passion going on everywhere.
"Have you seen any of the "Band of Sisters" yet?" I asked as we each took out a packet of crisps and opened them with a pop. The "Band of Sisters" is what we called the group of girls and their leader, Madam Rachael "Stalin".
"Yeah, I saw most of the girls either snogging some guy, or crying their eyes out in a corner somewhere," Jason opened up his sandwich, screwed up his face and put it back in his lunchbox.
I choked out a laugh, "Poor buggers!"
A minute later he nudged me and pointed at the area between C and D block classrooms and the canteen.
And there she was... Alone at last, away from her mighty group of bobbing heads and skinny arms. Her hair, light-brown with blond highlights was swaying lightly in the breeze. Her eyes were as blue and beautiful as sapphires. Her smile... oh, her smile was hypnotising, well, that is when she did smile. It was like Zeus was bored on a Sunday morning and decided to create Aphrodite a daughter. Rose was quite pretty too, but Jason liked her more than I did.
"Come on then, let's get this over with," I said to him after swallowing the last of my sandwich.
We stumbled up, brushed the dirt and leaves off our bums and strolled over to them.
"Hey!" I called out.
"Hi guys," Rose said calmly and began walking quickly towards us. Rachael said nothing and looked up with her nose in the air.
"She's so pompous and arrogant and yet so beautiful, but I think I can deal with her," I thought to myself.
"Hey Rose," Jason answered nervously. He looked really uncomfortable, I thought he was going to faint.
"Umm... How'ya doin'? Uhh, we were wondering... you know, it's Valentines Day... and umm... well... would you... well, would you like to hang out with us some time? Maybe..." I stuttered out.
Rachael moved her head down and caught my eyes. Her smile had faded (It's the first time she had stopped smiling today since she made that first year student run off crying this morning). She stood an inch away from my face; I thought she was going to kiss me.
And then she did something I did not expect at all. She slapped me. Right across the cheek, so hard I felt my teeth vibrate. It stung my cheek as though I'd swallowed a wasp. She stormed off with her nose in the air. I could swear I saw steam spraying out of her nostrils.
In a fit of rage, pain and sarcasm I shouted back to her. "The Queen has spoken! All shall appraise her words! Bow down and salute the almighty powerful Love Demon! For she has a weapon that will destroy all humanity's dignity! It is called... a mouth! Maybe you should use it once in a while! Otherwise it gets RUSTY!!!" I yelled at Rachael, who growled like a raging bull. Even though I was in pain, I could still think of witty comebacks.
To my surprise Rose didn't slap Jason like Rachael just did. She just stared at me sympathetically, gave a little giggle and smiled.
Then she turned to Jason. I hoped to God she wouldn't slap him too, but I wasn't worried. Rose is just about the complete opposite of Rachael, I find it really difficult to understand what Rose likes in Rachael to keep being her friend. Slapping Jason, or anyone for that matter, was just something she couldn't and wouldn't ever do.
And then she said something both Jason and I didn't expect. She leaned in close to him.
"Are you doing anything Saturday?" She whispered to Jason, quickly throwing glances at the corner that Rachael just went stormed around.
"Umm, not as far as I know, uhh, are you doing anything?" he whispered back grinning like the Cheshire cat once again.
"Nope, do you want to maybe hang around town, or go to a movie or something?" She asked, shyly.
"Yeah, I'd like that." He replied. I could really tell in his expression he wanted to kiss her. And, looking at Rose, I think she felt the same.
She smiled and took his hand and squeezed it gently. There was now a small scrap of paper in his hand. "Awesome, there's my number. I'm sorry but I gotta go. Rachael will be wondering where her servant is. I don't think I'll be friends with her much longer. But, I'll talk to you later ok? Call me if you want."
She leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek then smiled. She said bye to me and waved at Jason just as she disappeared from sight following Rachael.
"OH NO! HE'S DONE IT AGAIN! YOU DIRTY LUCKY SOD! HELP! I'VE BEEN REJECTED FROM HELL BY SATAN HERSELF!" I was in tears of laughter as I clipped him round the ear and tried my best to control my laughing.
'Well, a lesson learned,' I thought to myself. 'Do not get attracted to girls who think they are God's gift to men. Know my place!'
And there she wasn't...

Emmys so colorful as TV shows movies the faces of America
By Jill Serjeant
(Reuters) - Six months after #Oscarssowhite upset the biggest movie awards in the world, television's Emmy line-up is telling a different, far more colorful, story.
Some 21 actors across the ethnic spectrum have been nominated for Emmys this year. For the first time in the 68-year history of the biggest honors in television, men of color were nominated in all six lead actor categories.
It does not end there. Emmy organizers have showered nominations on shows like "Mr. Robot," starring Egyptian-American Rami Malek as a socially awkward hacker; African-American family sitcom "black-ish"; "Master of None," created by actor Aziz Ansari and his Asian-American writing partner Alan Yang; and FX's marathon recreation of the 1995 O.J. Simpson double murder trial seen through the prism of modern U.S. race relations.
"Bravo to the Television Academy and the TV industry overall for showing the rest of the industry the way," said Gil Robertson, president of the African-American Film Critics Association.
"They are responding to their audiences. They have clearly paid attention and are showing respect to the diverse population groups they serve. That is smart business," Robertson added.
Part of the greater diversity in television is due to the sheer number of scripted shows - currently around 400 - now available on mainstream networks, cable and streaming platforms like Amazon, Netflix and Hulu. Television also has a quicker turnaround time than movies, which can take years from development to reach theaters.
Freed from the demands of advertisers on the new platforms, producers are taking risks with content and casting, and mainstream television is taking notice both in front of, and crucially, behind the camera.

R.I.P. RuneScape! Birth of RuinScape!!!
Short Story by: Carrot
Status: Finished
Genre: Non-Fiction
Now will be officially the doom day of RuneScape, you may ask why. All this is made possible by Jagex, due to their "marvelous" updates.
- What's the point of going into the Wilderness when you can't even last 10 seconds in there?
- What's the point of winning at the Duel Arena when the maximum stake is only 3k?
- What's the point of celebrating your friends' birthdays when you can't even give them a birthday present?
- What's the point of going into the Wilderness when its size is reduced to a pathetic 40% of its original size?
- What's the point of playing RuneScape when you can no longer PK (Player Killing)?
- What's the point of staying on in RuneScape when it has become RuinScape???
If your answers are no point to all this questions then please read on.
If you have no idea what I'm saying then check out www.runescape.com.
Jagex might think that they are helping players so that they wouldn't be scammed. In a way yes, but WE players are not stupid, the many hours of playing has trained us to be alert when trading with other players.
Instead of doing something to stop scammers, wouldn't it be more appropriate to think of methods to stop hackers? Because hackers are something we players can't prevent, the most we can do are set passwords that are hard to guess and recovery questions.
But I daresay that even if our accounts were hacked, that wouldn't stop us from playing RuneScape. Because my account was once hacked, 1 & a half years later, I managed to recover it and to date, that account is my best account compared to the others.
As an old player of RuneScape, I hereby urged Jagex to take back those updates! Although my powers may be limited but with all the players standing together as one, we are determined to make Jagex take back those updates!
I'm definitely not the only one who feels this way. Many players are upset over this matter as well?and had thus, decided to quit RuneScape.
Just look at the decrease in the number of people playing! There used to be way more than that!
And not even 200 players in the worlds!
And I'm definitely not a bad player who's purposely picking on Jagex.
You may think that we are just being childish but you are totally wrong! We are merely voicing out our opinions to those updates in a different way!
More photos on the riots to show that they are no acts but the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth!

I cancelled 3 accounts. Mine, my wifes and my son's. 2 more of my sons are cancelling their accounts. Guild Wars here I come.
I strongly agree with what you have posted here. RuneScape is no longer what it used to be. I am a RuneScape veteran, having played for over four years. I remember the times when I PKed with friends, merchanted items, and just had plain old fun. Luckily, I quit RuneScape at the right time-a year ago, right when RuneScape was undergoing a "revolution." And I'm glad I did.

Jacob Walker Made An Offer Cops Couldn't Refuse
Jacob Walker MySpace
Joseph Velarde MySpace
Gilbert, Arizona (The Weekly Vice) - Jacob Walker, a 20-year-old Gilbert man, was jailed Wednesday after he allegedly posted an ad on Craigslist attempting to trade marijuana and an iPod for an iPad. He even posted a photo of the goods, just in case cops needed a visual for the arrest.
According to the Gilbert Police Department, Walker posted an ad stating that he had an Apple iPod Touch and approximately seven grams of "dank blue dream straight outta Cali," even listing pictures to prove he was ready to deal.
He stated that he was offering to trade both items for an iPad.
Investigators say undercover detectives replied to Walker's ad after being tipped off by an anonymous citizen and set up a meeting for the exchange.
Walker reportedly arrived with another man, 20-year-old Joseph Velarde, and confirmed his offer to trade. Both men were promptly taken into custody and charged with conspiracy to sell marijuana.

DUI is driving under influence. This 'influence' relates to alcohol or any other form of drugs and narcotics that can cause collisions and accidents while driving. Driving while intoxicated DWI lawyers conduct all cases where the guilty is found not to be a regular drinker, but an occasional one.
In Trouble if You don't have License
The DWI lawyers make a point clear; that the fines and legal penalties for drinking and driving becomes more severe, if the driver does not have a valid driving license. In that case, the task of the criminal defense lawyer becomes tougher.
- The case of aggravated and reckless driving can be added to a simple DUI case, if the client does not have a proper driving license.
- They are also of the opinion that in case the penalized person does not have a license, then he or she might also end up serving days or months in prison.
Functions of DUI Lawyer
For cases which pertain to drinking and driving, the drunk driving attorney offers the following functions to the client:
- There are different DUI laws pertaining to different states, so it is the function of the defense attorney to stay updated about the current legal procedures to help his client.
- He manages all the administrative duties related to the court case and explains the legal procedure to the client.
- It is also the work of the defense attorney to drop and mitigate some of the more serious charges that are levied against the client.
- Gathering evidence, conducting on-road investigation are also the basic duties of any DUI lawyer. There are multiple DUI laws enshrined in the constitution of almost all states, and the defense attorney modifies and manipulates the case according to the need and situation.
The lawyer can win the case in your favor. It is the work of the DUI lawyers to alter the cases in favor of an individual, especially, by manipulating the witness records. For instance, if you were distracted by bright roadside lights, then it cannot be proved that you drunk and drove. Moreover, witnesses may also give evidence that your vision got blurred, or you had not drunk anything before you drove. All these can be done only by a competent DUI lawyer.
Get the best quality representation from one of the well experienced DWI lawyers right here at an affordable price to deal with serious cases.

For the first time in many years, the local Salvation Army's "Red Shield Appeal" campaign is falling far short of its goal.
The target for 2001 has been set at the same amount as last year—$22,000—but only about $15,000 has been raised by the end of last month.
More than $23,000 had been raised by this point last year.

Steins;Gate FanFiction Discussion
Welcome to the Steins;Gate FanFiction Discussion thread.
This thread is meant for Steins;Gate fanfiction and its discussion. Fanfiction works can be either posted in this thread or in the Fan Creations Forum and linked to in this thread. You may also link to Fanfiction works posted on other sites and discuss it here.
General rules of our forum still apply:
Please respect the authors, fanfictions are written in their free time, they have have no gain and owe you nothing; if they like a particular character and/or a particular pattern for their story, it's a personal choice and can't be blamed. In general, you are free to post constructive criticisms but not insults which (as in any other part of the forums) won't be tolerated. Remember that writers post here to get help and not to get troubles.
Thanks and have fun :)
This is one of those many worlds when I go "huh?" when I try to think of original characters or even fanfics. :heh:
I have an idea. But it's probably only going to be a one-shot. :heh: And Okarin/Kurisu centric.
My Idea involves crossing Steins;Gate with MSLN...
Honestly, I don't think I'll be able to write anything in this fandom until the anime is complete.
I know, I'll make an time-travel -fic! Oh, wait...
Too easy to think of a crossover with any of the following (some of them could be hilarious):
Doctor Who
PMMM (of course)
Back to the Future
The Girl Who Leaped Through Time
Groundhog Day
Tried finding some fics at FFN but... I came up with nothing. :(

Even More Radical Pagani Huayra BC Coming to Geneva Motor Show
You thought the regular Huayra was intense? Pagani is building a hard-core version that will debut in March.
We've known a hardcore version of the Pagani Huayra was coming for a while because we'd seen one out testing. Recently, we learned it would most likely be called the Huayra BC. What we didn't know was when we'd get a look at the production version.
Now we know the Huayra BC will be shown at the Geneva Motor Show this year.
Speaking to Autoblog, Pagani spokesman Luca Venturi confirmed that the company would show off the Huayra BC at the Geneva show in March. The Huayra Roadster was reportedly supposed to be shown in Geneva as well, but Venturi told Autoblog we'll have to wait to see the topless version of the Huayra until sometime later this year.
Beyond the fact that it will be a more-hardcore, track-focused version of the regular Huayra, not much is known about the Huayra BC. We aren't even sure what the letters "BC" stand for.
Regardless of how little we know, we're still looking forward to seeing the Huayra BC in March.

HSBC Take The Lead In Scrapping Bank Bonus Schemes
HSBC has become the second leading UK bank to scrap staff bonuses linked to sales targets in a move affecting 20,000 employees.
The move follows Barclays' decision to overhaul staff incentives in December 2012 and follows widespread industry dismay over bank sales techniques that often overlook customers' best interests.
HSBC said the new structure will impact on its own staff as well as its other brands – First Direct and M&S Bank – with sales incentives removed from all HSBC's frontline staff in their 1,200 branches and call centres, with bonuses now geared towards consumer satisfaction.
The banking sector is attempting to rebuild its tarnished reputation following a number of scandals. Almost £14billion has been put aside to deal with compensation claims for mis-sold payment protection insurance (PPI) and recent research released by consumer watchdog Which? Magazine uncovered high levels of mis-sold mortgages, loans, credit cards and insurance policies across major high street banks with 45 per cent of surveyed staff saying they felt they were 'expected to sell regardless of the customer's benefit'.
The City watchdog recently warned that it would look to introduce new rules if the industry did not clean up its act with its use of incentive schemes, which it said were driving staff to mis-sell products to receive a bonus.
Hardwick Financial Solutions managing directorScott Sheedybelieves other banks will follow the lead taken by HSBC and Barclays.
"The high-pressure selling environment in UK banks is extremely unhealthy for the consumer who must be advised honestly and dispassionately so that they ultimately get what is right for them," said Mr Sheedy.
"We have seen how much damage and distress mis-selling can cause customers and we strongly support the changes made by HSBC and Barclays and I'm sure other banks will follow suit."
Financial Services Authority (FSA) managing director Martin Wheatley, who will become chief of new watchdog the Financial Conduct Authority, also advocated the steps taken by HSBC and Barclays and urged other banks to reform from top to bottom.
"When I speak to the bosses of banks they tell me they want to change, and this is good, but real cultural change will only happen if attitudes shift throughout an organisation — from the CEO to the front line sales personnel," he said.
Hardwick Financial Solutions Ltd cater for clients with complex, historical cases and also help in claiming back money that is owed to them – which in many cases is news to the client themselves.
They act for clients who have been hampered by mortgage mis-selling and fight their corner so they receive what they are rightfully entitled to.
They have long been recognised as one of the leading Claims Management/Financial Solutions practices in the UK and are highly regarded for their depth of knowledge and breadth of experience.

First it said there were no errors in the existing land use (ELU) maps, then it acknowledged them and promised changes. Now, the civic body has said these discrepancies are "no big deal" as there are only "550 of them" (there are 957).
Citizen groups and organisations have been pointing out a series of mistakes in the maps, which the chief engineer (development plan) Rajiv Kuknur termed "human errors" on Wednesday. "Even if citizens have pointed out 550 errors, it is a very small percentage of the five lakh-odd mappings that have been listed by the BMC," said Kuknur, speaking to the Hindustan Times.
The ELU has shown a large number of existing open spaces in the city as vacant plots, a mapping that many experts and activists said could be dangerous in planning the city later. Among other flaws, the ELU has also shown how many acres of wetlands as slums, when there isn't a single structure in those areas.
Despite these, Kuknur remained non-committal about taking any action against the consultant, Groupe SCE India ltd, which has been given the task of revising the city's development plan. "We are not initiating action against the consultants who prepared the ELU maps. We will wait for citizens' feedback and then take a call."
Citizens' groups decried Kuknur's comment as being "irresponsible". "Citizens have been striving hard to spot errors and correct the ELU maps. It is a job that Kuknur's DP department should have done. Such comments are completely unjustified," said Ashoke Pandit, from the Oshiwara Lokhandwala Citizens Association, which has been involved in the scrutiny.
"In the case of sites such as Gateway of India that might be marked incorrectly on the list, it does not mean they don't exist. They will be marked on the final development plan. After the deadline, we will verify the citizens' suggestions and take a call," Kuknur added.

Time Warner Cable Media releases a study on understanding women for marketers
Yesterday, Time Warner Cable Media released its "Understanding Women Today" study in partnership with Ipsos MediaCT. By surveying 3800 women, the study highlighted two distinct female demographics and determined their attitudes to brands, their media consumption and their confidence in spending.
These two demographics are made up of married women or those in couples and have been stereotypically named Chief Family Officer (CFO) and Girlfriends on the Go (GoG). As these two segments spent over $200 billion in 2011, it's understandable that marketers want to get as much information about these groups as possible.
Men like Facebook ads more than women: report
Women may like Facebook more than men, as evidence by the fact that approximately 60% of the social network's population is female, but for marketers looking for consumers who like their ads, targeting men may be a more effective and cost-efficient approach.
That's according to a new study conducted by marketing software firm Kenshoo and Resolution Media which looked at 65bn Facebook ad impressions and 20m clicks over the course of the last year.
US Army turns to Pinterest to reach a female audience
While Pinterest is more popular with men in the UK, in the United States, Pinterest is most popular with women.
That, you might think, would make it a pretty unlikely target for the US Army's social media team, but that's not the case. In fact, Pinterest is of great interest to the US Army precisely because of its demographic makeup.
Is Google+ facing a demographic fail?
If the future of the internet is social, as some believe, the long-term fate of the world's largest search engine could rest on how well its social network, Google+ does.
While it has a long way to go before it catches up to Facebook in popularity and adoption, with over 100m users, it would appear that Google is off to a decent start.
Tablets are from Mars, e-readers are from Venus
Whether you're male or female, there's an almost equal chance that you own a smartphone. But what about tablets and e-readers? Do men and women share different preferences when it comes to the latest and greatest mobile devices?
According to Nielsen's latest survey of mobile device owners, the answer is increasingly 'yes.' In Q2 2011, it found that 61% of e-readers were owned by women, up from 46% in the third quarter of 2010. Tablets? Almost the opposite: 57% of them are owned by men.
Are brands ignoring moms?
According to M2Moms, a report from the Market to Moms Coalition, 60% of moms feel marketers are ignoring their needs, and 73% feel advertisers don't really understand what it's like to be a mom. The challenge, says the report, is sensing her distinct, timely needs and responding in a way that truly resonates.
U.S. women use blogs and social media for information
Brands interested in reaching women online should know that while social networks offer the most reach, blogs have the most influence.

Metamemory Experiments in Neurological Populations: A Review

Metamemory refers to knowledge about one's memory capabilities and strategies that can aid memory, as well as the processes involved in memory self-monitoring. Although metamemory has been studied in cognitive psychology for several decades, there have been fewer studies investigating the neuropsychology of metamemory. In recent years, a growing number of studies of neurological patient groups have been conducted in order to investigate the neural correlates of metamemory. In this review, we examine the neuropsychological evidence that the frontal lobes are critically involved in monitoring and control processes, which are the central components of metamemory. The following conclusions are drawn from this literature: (1) There is a strong correlation between indices of frontal lobe function or structural integrity and metamemory accuracy (2) The combination of frontal lobe dysfunction and poor memory severely impairs metamemorial processes (3) Metamemory tasks vary in subject performance levels, and quite likely, in the underlying processes these different tasks measure, and (4) Metamemory, as measured by experimental tasks, may dissociate from basic memory retrieval processes and from global judgments of memory.

Natalie: Bored
"I can't believe you broke our brand new TV!" My Mom bellowed at me.
"For the last time, I didn't do it! A ghost did!"
"Don't you dare try to drag ghosts into this. Your father had a strange obsession, and now you have it. You're in High School Natalie. It's time for you to grow up and put aside your silly childhood fantasies. You can't live your entire life pretending things like ghosts and unicorns are real."
"I don't believe in unicorns. That's just dumb. They're a mythical creature created to make the horse seem boring."
"And ghosts were created to make humans seem boring."
"If you had to live with what I do..."
"I was a teeneger too. I know exactly what you're going through."
Quietly, I muttered, "You have no idea. You don't have ghost powers."
"Nothing Mom, nothing."
"That's what I thought you said. Now come on. Let's go buy a replacement for our replacement TV before the sale ends." I just rolled my eyes and said,
After what seemed like hours, though only minutes, of silence, we arrived at the store. Angrily, my Mom slammed the car door and stomped towards the doors of Walmart.
"Now, I can't stress this enough, please no ghost business. We don't want to draw attention to ourselves."
"I know Mom. Last time wasn't my fault!"
"I don't know why you won't just confess. I don't think a supernatural being that passes right through walls could very easily knock down every shelf in a giant store like this."
Again to myself, I commented, "They only pass through walls when they want to."
"I'm going to buy myself some jeans while we're in there. You just wait by the Tv's and please, don't touch anything!" Then, before I could protest, we walked into the store, my mom headed towards the clothing isle and me walking toward the nearest chair in the electronics, conveniountly located right next to the furniture section and book shelves. Choosing a long novel and comfortable massage chair, I sat down and started reading. After a while I noticed something. My Chair was vibrating.
"How could that be? These are turned off unless you buy them." With caution, I turned around. Behind me, I saw the strangest thing. There was the technology ghost, but he wasn't alone. He was causing chaos with another person. She had white hair and green eyes, much like my ghost form. Her shirt was red, her pants black, and her shoes grey. As if by a second instinct, I changed into my ghost form. My Mom was going to kill me. "Hey!" I yelled at the girl, "are you going Tv shopping? Because I think they work better is you don't throw them at innocent shoppers." She blinked, then her eyes got huge.
"What are you talking about? I'm fighting against him! He's my enemy!"
"Nice try." I attempted to pull her into a ghost portal. To my suprise, she became human. I never caught her complete human form. She ran off befor I could geta clear look. All I saw was an orange shirt, a pair of jeans, and some white sneakers. She had blonde hair, and from the back view, she was a little on the short side. "Wait?" I thought to myself, " A human-ghost? Or a ghost human? I thought I was the only one!" Then I notice dpeopel were starting to stare. SO I walked into a dressing room and transformed into my human form. Then I calmly walked back to the electronics. In a moment of confusion, my mom decided to show up. Once she saw my surroundings, her jaw dropped. I tried to see what was happening. Then I realized. Every single TV was destroyed, wires pulled out or screens broken in two.
"But-but-but, It wasn't me! It was a g-gh-ghost!"
"This has gone too far Natalie. Destroying our Tv was bad enough, but now you have to smash every one in teh store?"
"I'm tellingthe truth! Who won't you believe me?"
"I want to believe me, but Scientists have prooved there are no such things as ghosts." She had a dumbfounded look on her face. "I just don't understand why you've gotten so destructive. Detention, destroying the family Tv, and now this? Why?"
"I already told you-"
"Don't play innocent. Just get in the car. We'll talk about this later."

Marge, I will address this to you since you are geographically the nearest to
the area in question, though I invite anyone's opinion. We just returned
from a much-needed week of birding at Bombay Hook and Chincoteague. Spring was
not as far advanced as we had hoped or expected, or as our notes of previous
trips indicated that it had been in other years. However we did happen on one
unusual sight (site, too). The Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge lies to
the east of Dover, Delaware, and is a large area of marshes and wetlands
interspersed with fields and woods. Adjoining the refuge is Allee House, an
eighteenth century farmhouse that has been either restored or preserved. Since it is
open to the public only on weekend afternoons, and we always schedule our trips
during to week, we have never been able to visit it. However, there is a
back road from the edge of the refuge to the house that offers interesting
birding territory so we always take at least one run down that way. Several years
we have noticed daffodils growing at one of the overlook sites beside an
impoundment, but assumed they had been planted by park staff or volunteers. I will
continue that assumption since these are fairly "modern" daffs - large
cream-colored blooms with darker small cups. This year when we drove down the Allee
House road we were astonished to find the woods full of daffodils, too.
There was one area perhaps 30 feet wide and deep that was just a solid mass of
daffs, and they appeared at intervals throughout a stretch of maybe half a mile.
These appeared to be rather small-flowered golden trumpet types - like small
'King Alfreds' but not that large. My DH assured me that there had once been
another house there, and perhaps he is right. I'd say these are pretty
old-fashioned bulbs. But my question is this. These have obviously spread much
farther than from an ancient door-yard garden. How do they spread in such an
environment? By seed? Or do animals spread them? They are poisonous, so would
not be eaten, but I suppose the bulbs could be dug and moved, but can't
imagine why. The area has very sandy soil, but the woods are fairly open. There is
a field on the other side of the road - farmers plant millet and other grains
for the birds under contract to the refuge - but the area where the daffs
grow doesn't look as if it has been cultivated for a generation at least - there
are some pretty large deciduous trees - sweetgum, holly, etc. and a real mat
of honeysuckle. It would be shaded in the summer but is sunny at this end of
the year, and I know daffs will grow in such situations. I also know they
spread, but if I don't dig and divide mine every five or six years they just crowd
themselves right out of the ground. I'm really intrigued by this so would
appreciate your thoughts.

Robbie Keane's former team and current team battled to a stalemate.
David Junior Lopes cancelled out Gareth Bale's goal to give the Los Angeles Galaxy a 1-1 draw with Tottenham at the Home Depot Center in a meeting that touched on a couple of career stops for Keane, the only one of the Galaxy's three Designated Players to feature in the match.
Bale, who pulled out of Team Great Britain's Olympic squad because of an apparent back injury, headed home Gylfi Sigurdsson's cross in the 17th minute to put Tottenham ahead before Lopes equalized off a header from Hector Jimenez' cross 11 minutes later.
Veteran American goalkeeper Brad Friedel did not play for Tottenham.
More results from Tuesday's MLS friendlies are after the jump:
PORTLAND TIMBERS 2, ASTON VILLA 2 (Villa wins 5-4 on PKs)
A wild match at Jeld-Wen Field ended in a penalty shootout, as American goalkeeper Brad Guzan came up with the necessary save to give the Premier League side the win.
With noted Aston Villa supporter and award-winning actor Tom Hanks in attendance, Guzan saved Bright Dike's penalty attempt, which accounted for the only miss after the teams dueled to a draw in regulation.
Villa's Ciaran Clark and Matthew Lowton traded goals with Portland's Sebastian Rincon and Rodney Wallace, with Wallace's 81st-minute tally sending the friendly to the penalty round. U.S. international defender Eric Lichaj, who came on as a substitute in the 59th minute, scored one of Villa's five penalty conversions, while Samir Carruthers scored the clincher.
Rincon, Andrew Jean-Baptiste, Franck Songo'o and Charles Renken tallied from the spot for the Timbers.
MONTREAL IMPACT 1, LYON 1 (Lyon wins 4-2 on PKs)
Rookie and 2012 MLS SuperDraft No. 1 overall pick Andrew Wenger returned from a hamstring injury and scored the game-tying goal to force penalties before the Impact ultimately succumbed to the traditional French power. The result was far from the most important aspect of the match, though, as Montreal centerbacks Matteo Ferrari and Nelson Rivas returned from injury, while Italian veteran Alessandro Nesta made his first appearance since signing with the Impact, going 63 minutes.
Jeremy Pied had given Lyon the lead at Stade Saputo in the 28th minute, scoring off a feed from Lisandro Lopez, but Wenger latched onto a ball from Patrice Bernier before finishing from just inside the area to level the scoreline 11 minutes later.
Lamar Neagle and Josh Gardner missed from the penalty spot for Montreal, while Bafetmbi Gomis clinched the victory for Lyon with his spot kick.
Andre Akpan and Kamani Hill found the back of the net to give the Rapids the victory over their Premier League counterparts. Both goals were scored in the first 15 minutes, setting the tone for an enjoyable night for Colorado — something that has been far from the norm with the club losing seven of eight league matches.
Jonathan de Guzman, brother of FC Dallas midfielder Julian de Guzman, scored a consolation goal for Swansea City in the 79th minute off a set piece.
Homegrown Players Aaron Horton and Ben Speas scored for Columbus, giving the club a come-from-behind win over the Potters at Crew Stadium.
Jonathan Walters had given Stoke City the lead in the 23rd minute off a header, but Horton equalized in the 71st minute off a cross from Emilio Renteria. Speas scored an opportunistic winner in the 87th minute, firing home a ball that came off Aaron Schoenfeld's foot to seal the victory for Columbus.
The reigning French champions were far from kind visitors, going into Livestrong Sporting Park and coasting to victory over a reserve-laden MLS side. With Aurelien Collin, Jimmy Nielsen and Graham Zusi on duty with the MLS All-Star team and important league matches and a U.S. Open Cup final on the horizon, Sporting Kansas City trotted out a makeshift lineup, with the only regular among the starting XI being central midfielder Julio Cesar.
Gaetan Charbonnier opened the scoring for Montpellier in the 39th minute, and Emanuel Herrera added the insurance tallies in the 72nd minute and in second-half stoppage time to account for the scoring.
What did you think of the friendly results? Surprised at any of the final scores? Were you entertained by any of the matches?
Share your thoughts below.
Only in the MLS do they playing meaningless friendlies in the middle of the season.
I kind of get if it is a big draw to make money.
What was attendence at these games?
Montreal, full house, 19,300
Tim F.
Ditto; I would like the attendance figures for each game.
well, for MLS and North American soccer these games are not meaningless, but they are less meaningful than they used to be 🙂
Wrong! Liverpool played Rangers last October in a early season night-time friendly.
Goff has them listed — it ranged from 6k to 20k.
The Imperative Voice
Logically and chronologically for the teams from different calendars to play each other SOMEONE has to be in-season. Every so often a MLS side tours Europe for preseason and unless they are on our calendar or winter break, they're playing when we're technically not. Or the Galaxy tour Asia and the A-league is in progress.
It's the basic word friendly itself that renders it meaningless, not the timing or even the particular teams hooking up.
That being said, in terms of pride, MLS and its stadia are to the point where it's borderline insulting for us to be a neutral friendly site.
Maybe we should set up our own tournament(s) like La Manga. There are places like SoCal already attractive to foreign teams where we could play games in reliable and mild weather. Maybe this would give Chivas some prestige and something to do. Or maybe they could play in San Diego or something.
Barely 6500 in Colorado. Good game but expensive, even for STH.
Tim F.
After seeing some good results i think its a positive for most teams involved i just wish they we not in the most busy time of the year.
For example this was Colorado's 6 or 7th game this month and Seattle is on Saturday. Build this fixture into the schedule next year and it will go over better with the fans.
I get the Sounders drawing 60k against The Euro winners while being played on ESPN. $$$$
Don't like it, but I get it.
Aston Villa, Swansea, Stoke City ?
Why would anyone want to go see those teams ?
These should win a Heidi Award…..Let's get back to our regularly scheduled broadcast.
These type of games, where the home stars don't appear as well as some of the foreign stars, diminish the game and the nature of the friendlies themselves.
It can be layed right on the doorstep of the MLS!!
Until the MLS gives teams the rights to postpone/defer league matches, these friendlies will always be second-rate.
Right now, because of contractual obligations with TV/sponsors/stadiums/etc, The MLS does not allow teams to postpone a league match (or virtually any match. for that matter) unless it is a matter of public safety.
In the early days of the MLS, you pretty much had the Open Cup and the League and with only 10-14 teams, you really had to dig to get 30-40 matches for the season.
Now we have the Concacaf Champions League, The US OPEN Cup,League play, and now Foreign friendlies, World challenges and maybe on the Horizon Copa Liberatores and who know what else.
Trying to wedge these matches around the set-in-stome League calendar is getting really difficult., if not impossible for some teams.
If these mid-summer friendlies are to get any serious traction and let the teams play their best players, The MLS will have to start letting the teams postpone/reschedule MLS matches.
Andy in Atlanta
You have to be joking… who would want to see teams from the one of the leagues in the world take on the home town team?
The Imperative Voice
Per twitter feed of Houston Chronicle reporter, Geoff Cameron has officially signed with Stoke City and will join the team in Orlando for their intra-Stoke international friendly (that last bit makes it thread-relevant somehow, right?).
Or MLS could move the league schedule to match up the rest of the world *sarcasm*
The Imperative Voice
When both teams aren't playing stars (very long at least) and a lousy team like Portland ties Aston Villa, it calls for significant discounting. But when American teams are involved it is a sign of respect (explicit or implied), and that helps sell the league to investors, interested players, etc. Also, at least in theory, maybe the games can create relationships that can lead to player loans, training opportunities, etc.
true, expect MLS teams re-arrange their schedules when they advance into USOC and CCL all the time.
I just think it would be wise to leave the last wed-sun of July free of any MLS matches if they really like these friendlies.
On the side its not that bad watching some of the reserves, as they can be pretty good and never get a shot during important games.
The Imperative Voice
I also think if you make the games more of an invitational tournament and less of a stop on the foreign team's self-organized tour, we might have more control over scheduling, and more of a power position in the relationship. We can set the tournament for a Friday-Sunday one weekend, play two games, take off a MLS weekend. It can be planned into the schedule. But if you just accept a friendly on a tour you might be asked in April at the tail end of the EPL season, at which point it's, where can I squeeze this into a MLS schedule already off to the printer.
Also, as long as MLS is an awkward 19 teams, I'd think a "friendly weekend" period could be built into the schedule like a bye, tournament or not.
The Imperative Voice
I generally favor MLS play because you know it counts and your team will show up close to if not at full strength week in week out. You can't assume that for CCL, USOC, or friendlies.
Yes, at a certain level, a friendly with Valencia might still be more attractive than Portland coming to town right now. However, when it moves ahead of the local rivalry (Dallas) or any decent MLS matchup (DC, KC, etc.) I think you're a Europhilic nutjob.
Cause to me if you REALLY want to see Chelsea play, buy a plane ticket and watch them at the Bridge. Cause what you're seeing here is the equivalent of NFL preseason games, the starters take some snaps and go through the motions, then they spend their time looking at kids and signings who may or may not even see minutes in the EPL.
I really don't know who's worse the Eurosnob or the The MLS-American soccer fan. All thy both do is complain. Let's go back 15-20 years ago when there was no league and no football on TV will that make you whiney b**ch made p***ies happy. Who does this help everyone who loves the game of football first off it helps the Euro club to prepare for there season and maybe open up a new partnership across the seas in which there fans may know who you are and might even you club may make a new fan. It also gives players from both teams a chance to get some semi competive run since the MLS is doing such a great job with their reserve football league and developing new talent. It lso put's players in the shop window for the future. You recruit a Euro star who may just love the states the city and your team and they might take a liking to some young talent that they may want to buy. I really do hate some you guys rant ova!!!
Good job MLS and congratulation on your wins.

I agree… I mean, I would be so pissed if my local independent league baseball team only got to play a team like the Washington Nationals instead of the Yankees.
No, wait, actually it would still be cool as hell!
These friendlies are really glorified scrimmages. I really don't see what the problem is with them. Coaches in MLS are treating them as such now and are not running their full first line-up out there for 90. If people found out that Tottenham was scrimmaging LA in a practice session I am sure that they would scramble to try and see it. Playing the game in an exhibition format allows that to happen. If you don't want to see it don't go.
I think Cameron's contract is tied to him receiving a UK work permit, which will be routinely denied as he has not participated in 75% of the USMNT games the last year. It will them go to the appeals board were it is expected he will be approved. But this is weeks off and there is no "sure thing". If he "joins" Stoke in Orlando, it will be very informal and very unofficial.
Well call me a snob, but it seems to me that paying $50 to see the second string Galaxy play against a second string Totenham is a bit farcical. If you are flying half-way around the world to showcase your team and Market them to the US public, you would think you would get to play more tha the reserves, But that happened last nite when the Galaxy did not play Donovan or Beckham because of the All star game today and the fact that Beckham flies to London and the Dallas MLS game is the next weekend. Arena would rather have his squad ready for that game than seeing off Totenham. And this is pretty much the story on more than a few MLS teams,
As the stature of the MLS grows, fans will want to seen their home team at full strength to tackle the Euro Giants (even in their pre-season) If the MLS doesn't recognize this fact and continues to look upon these friendlies as extra cash, and makes no adjustments, it disrespects the competition, the fans and players and the game itself.
You mean other that the game Celtic is playing during their season against Real Madrid in Philly?
Then don't pay?? Has anyone put a gun to your head? If so notify the police. But why do you care if other people want to watch soccer?

The Imperative Voice
I wonder if he can play in preseason games for Stoke within the USA even if he might have work permit problems playing in the UK. He's only been spot playing for Houston lately but he has to be in better fitness and form than your average pre-season player, still.
I agree, work permit no given, they let in EJ, they once denied Friedel in his prime. He won't make 75% so it devolves into the subjective appeals process.
I did not get to attend myself, but the AV @ Timbers game was sold out (granted with some unused tickets showing empty seats on the east side) and the crowd was rowdy and supportive, as per Portland's usual. Just because you don't care doesn't mean no one else does.
What was Keane doing with his hands up in the Tottenham player's chode? Long time no see! That was just weird. Commentators were like: "uh……." also.. why did the producers at espn choose to show it in slow motion?? One of the crazier things I've seen in a soccer game.
