|90 grams
|powdered sugar
|4 cups (lightly spooned into the cup)
|1 pound (16 ounces)
|460 grams
Equipment: nonstick or buttered or greased cookie sheets; rolling pin; cookie cutters
Food Processor Method
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
In a food processor with the metal blade, process the sugar until very fine. Cut the butter into a few pieces and add it with the motor running. Process until smooth and creamy. Add the egg, lemon zest, and vanilla extract and process until incorporated, scraping the sides of the bowl. Add the flour mixture and pulse in just until incorporated. If the mixture seems dry, add a few droplets of water and pulse in just until the dough begins to clump together.
Electric Mixer Method
Soften the butter. In a mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until fluffy. Add the egg, lemon zest, and vanilla extract and beat until blended. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining dry ingredients. On low speed, gradually add them to the butter mixture and mix until incorporated. Add water, a few drops at a time, only until the dough starts to come away from the sides of the bowl.
For Both Methods
Scrape the dough onto a sheet of plastic wrap and use the wrap, not your fingers, to press the dough together to form a thick flat disc. Wrap it well and refrigerate for at least two hours, preferably no longer than 3.
Place 2 over racks in the upper and lower thirds of the over. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Farenheit.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a one-eighth-inch thickness. Cut shapes using your favorite Christams cookie cutters or homemade cardboard patterns or even freehand. With a small, angled metal spatula or pancake turner, transfer the cookies to the prepared cookie sheets. If desired, paint the cookies with Edible Tempera Color. If you are planning to hang the cookies, make small holes with the blunt end of a wooden skewer.
Reroll the scraps, chilling them first, if necessary.
Bake for 8 to 12 minutes of until the cookies being to brown around the edges. For even baking, rotate the cookie sheets from top to bottom and bront to back halfway through the baking period.
Use a small angled metal spatula or pancake turner to tranfer the cookies to wire racks to cool before decorating with Royal Icing, dragees, sprinkles, and glittering holiday edibles.
Store: In an airtight container at room temperature.
Keeps: For several months.
Edible Tempura Color
Lightly beat 2 large egg yolks and spoon equal amounts of them into 5 small bowls or cups. Use liquid food coloring to color each mixture. For yellow, use 1/2 teaspoon of yellow,; for red, use 1/2 teaspoon of red; for green, use 1/4 teaspoon of green; for blue, use 1/4 teaspoon of blue; for black, use 1-1/2 teaspoons of green, 1-1/2 teaspoons of red, and 5 drops of blue.
Use a small clean paintbrush to paint the designs on the cookies before baking.
Royal Icing
This recipe has an excellent consistency for piping. For painting, thin the icing with water.
In a large mixing bowl, place the egg whites and powdered sugar and beat, preferable with the whisk beater, at low speed, until the sugar is moistened. Beat at high speed until very glossy and stiff peaks form when the beater is lifted (5 to 7 minutes). The tips of the peaks should curve slightly. If necessary, more powdered sugar may be added. Keeps 3 days in a n airtight container at room temperature. Rebeat lightly.
Royal Icing with Meringue Powder
Replace the egg whites with 3 tablespoons of meringue powder and 3 fluid ounces (6 tablespoons) of warm water (this is approximately the amount of water contained in the eggs). Processd as for basic Royal Icing. Keeps 2 weeks in an airtight container at room temperature. Rebeat lightly.
- Cookies can be rolled to a one-quarter inch thickness and underbaked slightly for a softer, chewier cookie.
- If the dough cracks while rollikng it, cut it in quarters and allow it to sogten until it is more malleable before continuing.
- Allow the cookie sheets(s)s to cool completely beforee using for the next batch.
- Distribute the cookies evenly around the cookie sheet. Avoid crowding the cookies into one section of the cookie sheet, leaving a large area bare.

I liked best the Caipirinha at the bar, thanks to my brasilien wife. She ordered it the way I like. The "Luxury Double Room" was old and stinky. After complayning a lot, we got a new renovated room with an old noisy AC. No remotecontroll for the TV,elevator did not always work,very old and small safe without locker.The walls and doors are thin and you can hear everything.
No One can speak or understand English
The bed.. is so big.. amazing.. some places at the hotel are too old, and in need a rebuilding..
the staff were very friendly. the hotel was situated right at the heart of the town's best beach/shopping/restaurant area the staff spoke very little english.they were constructing an extension two yards away from the main swimming pool
My fiancé and I stayed at Mercure from January 3-5, 2016. The beachfront location was outstanding. You are 30 seconds to the beach from the moment you exit the hotel. I usually don't read into these reviews much because I think most people are overly angry when they don't need to be. But this was a very subpar trip and so I am posting a negative review for the first time. We arrived in our room and everything seemed to be satisfactory at that point. We went to the beach and returned a few hours later, and from that point on our room smelled like smoke throughout the rest of the trip. We tried to have breakfast the next day, which we thought was including but was not. (This may have been our fault for not realizing it.) However, my fiancé said that at check-in we were told breakfast went through 11AM. We arrived at 10:15AM, and were turned away as breakfast stopped at 10AM. I left the Do Not Disturb sign on our room because we were only there two days and would not need new towels or any cleaning in the room. While we were gone, the maid entered anyway. She took our bath towels and replaced them with the rough pool towels. But I am really angry at the principle that the maid entered the room while the Do Not Disturb sign was on anyway! This is ridiculous! In addition, a lightbulb socket was left empty by the staff and a valve to open the window was loose. The A/C temperature could not be adjusted. There had been some leakage from the A/C at one time and the wood surrounding the A/C was warped. (These are more minor issues, but these issues should never be seen at a place that strives to be a four-star hotel.) We brought the issues to the attention of the woman who checked us out of the hotel. She made note of the issues. No discount was offered. At US $150, this was the most expensive hotel in town and I selected this one because I wanted to show my fiancé to have a four-star experience. We received a two-star experience and I should have booked my next choice for hotel, which would have been one-third of the price.
kindness of staffs and location of the Hotel Nothing particular
Brilliant location: right across a one way road with zebra crossing nearby and you're on the beach. Sits half way round the bay with a good choice of restaurants nearby. Friendly and helpful staff. Easy 15 Reais taxi ride to bus station. Room is a bit stark and soulless, like a hospital room. The safe malfunctioned and we were an hour late checking out, causing a delay in getting a bus to Florianopolis.

Background: Font color:
Hermione woke up on Saturday with a start. She got dressed and bewitched her hair to be curly not bushy. She even put on a little bit of makeup. Today was the day that she was going to kiss Ron. This was the day that they would officially be a couple. She just knew that this was the day. She looked over at Ginny who was going to go to Hogsmeade today as well. She was still asleep.
Ginny wake up, Hermione called to her before walking out into the common room. A lot of people were talking sleepily about where they were going to go and a lot of the third year Gryffindors were even more excited about going there for the first time. Hermione made herself comfy in a chair next to Neville.
Hiya Neville, How are you? Hermione asked Neville making conversation.
Im doing pretty good. How are you? Neville asked her. Hermione sighed and answered.
Im doing fantastic, She said thinking about Ron. She never thought she could feel this way about a boy and never did she think that she would fall in love with Ron.
You havent fought with Ron all week. Did you finally discover your hidden feelings for each other? Neville said quietly.
How come everyone around us knew we were meant to be together before we did? Hermione asked Neville smiling.
You were oblivious werent you? He said chuckling a little. Hermione laughed.
Yea, we were. I mean we arent together yet but I imagine were on our way. Hermione explained watching Ron and Harry descend the stairs from the boys dormitory. Neville watched her watch Ron come closer.
Hermione thought Ron looked so good looking today. Every one of his hairs was falling in the right place and his eyes were gleaming. He looked so handsome it made Hermione shiver. She couldnt wait to run her fingers through his hair and kiss him.
Ron looked at Hermione. She did something with her hair so it was curly and flowing nicely down her back. She looked so beautiful it was making him nervous. He calmed himself down thinking this is the same Hermione that he had known for years there was nothing to be nervous about.
Hey Ron, Hey Harry, Hermione said as they made their way over to them. She noticed how she felt comfortable saying hi to Ron first. They both said hi to Neville and Hermione. Ginny walked out of the girls dormitories. She had the same idea as Hermione and had put on make up as well as fixing her hair. Ron looked at Harry who was beaming at Ginny.
I knew you would fancy my sister sooner or later, Ron said nudging Harry in the ribs.
Hey, Ginny, Everyone said as she joined them. Just then there was a quite tapping on a nearby window. Seamus went over to the window and retrieved a letter from an owl.
Hermione, its for you, said Seamus who handed her the letter. Hermione opened it at once. It was from her parents. Ron read the letter over Hermiones shoulder.
We are glad to hear from you. We are both doing fine but we miss you dearly. Were hoping to see you over the Holiday, but until then study hard and have fun.
Well that is good to hear then, said Ron looking to see Hermiones reaction.
I can enjoy my day now, she said with a smile. Lets all go down now shall we?
Hermione and Ron shared a carriage with Harry and Ginny. They all chatted about the school year and their O.W.Ls. Hermione looked at Ron and turned away quickly and blushed. He had been staring at her. When they finally arrived Harry and Ginny went a separate way than Ron and Hermione. Hermione notice the two of them holding hands as they made their way away from them.
Ron stopped walking and turned to face Hermione. Where would you like to go? He asked her.
Hermione braved herself to answer, I dont care as long as Im with you. Ron smiled and reached for Hermiones hand. Ron led her towards Honeydukes. When they got there they looked around at all the sweets. Hermione had bought some for Ron and then Ron in turn bought some for her.
Next they went to the Three Broomsticks for some butterbeer. Hermione took a seat in a corner while Ron went to get the butterbeer. Hermione smiled and thanked him when he returned. He sat down and they became quiet.
Ron looked up at Hermione and blurted out, You look really beautiful today.
Hermione blushed and thanked him. You look really good yourself. She said returning the compliment. More silence. Hermione took a sip of her butterbeer and looked up at Ron who was looking out the window.
Hermione reached across the table and took his hand in hers. She turned it palm up. He looked at her wondering what she was up to.
Im going to read you palm, Hermione stated.
But you dont have the Inner-Eye. Ron told her mimicking Professor Trelawney. He enjoyed this break of silence. Hermione smiled and played along.
But today I do. She said looking at his palm. I see you falling in love with one of your best friends.
I am not falling in love with Harry! Ron shouted knowing what she meant. Hermione laughed.
Hermione continued with a misty voice. No it is a girl. It is a very smart and pretty girl. You two will fall in love and get married. You two will also have many health Weasley babies.
Well my mother will be happy, Ron said jokingly. I really do like you Hermione. Ron finished his butterbeer and looked at her for her response.
I really like you too, She said to him looking down at her last sip of butterbeer.
My eyes are over here.
Hermione looked up at him. She began to melt instantly. The look he was giving her was something she had never seen in Ron.
Hermione Will you be my girlfriend? He asked her nervous for her reply.
No, She answered. Rons smile faded. I want a kiss before I decide if I want to keep you. Hermione said playfully. Rons smile turned into a smirk.
Hermione leaned over the table and Ron did the same. Her heart was pounding in her ears. Ron moved in closer. Hermione closed her eyes but the kiss didnt come. She opened her eyes to find Ron sitting back in his chair.
Hermione I want our kiss to not be in public, Ron said nervously. Come with me.
Ron led Hermione into the woods where they had visited Sirius before. Ron stopped and turned to Hermione but he kept his eyes at his feet.
My eyes are up here, Hermione said to him. He looked up. Hermione wrapped her arms around his shoulders and Rons around her waist. They stood there for a moment gazing into each others eyes. The electricity was flowing between them. Hermiones heart felt like it was just about to burst. That is when Ron leaned in and put his lips on hers.
Hermiones throat became tight and her stomach was doing flips. Ron was shaking and his heart was pounding in his chest. He pulled away from her.
Wow, was all he could say.
The answer to your question is yes. Yes Ill be your girlfriend. Hermione said breathlessly pulling Ron back for another kiss. Hermione knew that there would be hard times in the future but right now she felt like she was walking on a cloud and she knew she would always have Ron to keep her safe.

When it comes to prostate health prevention is the key and that begins early in life. 480 Mg Saw Palmetto the reason for the need to start early is the fact that ut san antonio prostate risk calculator many times diseases of the prostate develop slowly over time. In fact it is common for the prostate to enlarge slowly over the years until it becomes a problem later in life.
Perhaps this was just from tiredness or the fear that ejaculation would hurt as it had after the biopsy. I waited until the Flowmax moderated the urinary symptoms. After two weeks everything was pretty
much back to normal.
This isn't to say that these treatments aren't needed and welcomed by men in distress. They certainly are. But many elderly men have harmless Stage 1 cancers they prostate eze max reviews don't need therapy they're ideal watchful waiting candidates yet they're still receiving costly high-tech treatments.
Prostate milking might not be medically proven as a preventive action to avoid prostate cancer yet but it would not be bad 480 Mg Saw Palmetto to try. However it is medically proven to be effective in curing prostatitis and other prostate swelling problems. Aside from that prostate milking also provides tremendous experience to the person doing it. So try prostate milking for a better prostate that is free from pain.Looking to increase your male orgasm intensity by 400% and have it last up to 5 minutes? If so 480 Mg Saw Palmetto then prostate milking may be for you. About 1 in 4 men have lost some hair by the time they turn 30 and two-thirds by age 60. Prof Stern said pan-frying regardless of meat type consistently led to an increased risk of prostate cancer. The same pattern was evident in her previous research
which found fish cooked at high temperatures particularly pan-fried increased the risk of prostate cancer.
Getting and maintaining a healthy prostate is not an impossible task. Whatever you do don't ignore the advice of your doctor but do make sure you stop drinking things that poison your system!A trip to the doctor's office for your first prostate examination might elicit some amount of fear and trepidation. Although the procedure itself lasts only a few minutes for a lot public urination cctv of men it may as well be a lifetime. If you are planning to see your doctor with regard to the health of your prostate or begin a series of regular prostate exams one thing is common; the first physical procedure is a frightening one. In this post I'm going to share a couple of things that I think are essential to prostate health diet. Now a Swedish study suggests that radical prostatectomy complete removal of the prostate gland is better than "watchful waiting" for the 480 Mg Saw Palmetto treatment of younger men with low-risk prostate cancer.
Its properties are because of the presence of two isoflavones called genistein and daidzein which stop the formation of cancerous tumors in this organ. Now there's no need to panic but the fact is that many who choose to ignore signs and symptoms condemn themselves to living with the uncertainty. This has to be worse than actually prostate gland as a result of aging being diagnosed and knowing if you have prostate cancer or not. Prostate cancer the second most common cancer diagnosed in men stole the drug headlines last week. Over two million men in the U.
And for men being treated for known prostate cancer a rising PSA can signal recurrence of cancer in organs outside the prostate. An enlarged prostate is a non-cancerous condition in which the narrowing of the urethra makes the elimination of urine more difficult. It most often occurs in men over age 50.
Cancer Healthy cells divide fulfill their functions and die. These cellular abnormalities occur when a cell's DNA the cell's information and control center is damaged to such an extent that the DNA cannot repair itself p. 66.
Identifying these problems would pave way to early treatment of the disease condition and thus prevent it from going out of hand meaning become complicated. Normal PSA valuesThe normal values vary with the age of the man. The prostate gland enlarges with age therefore it produces more PSA with increasing age.
Another effect relates to vasodilation. Co2 is a powerful dilator of blood vessels. For this reason chronic over-breathing produces hypocapnic constriction of arteries and arterioles. You may know that most people can easily faint if they breathe heavily for 2-3 minutes.
One out of six men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime. High grade prostate cancer is dangerous and can kill. In the United States more than 200000 new cases are diagnosed every year – 480 Mg Saw Palmetto leading to 31000 deaths. Fortunately there is a lot you can do to prevent prostate cancer naturally.
The FDA said it has approved eight other drugs to treat BPH including Merck & Co's MRK. The prostate gland is part of the male reproductive system. The primary function of the gland is to provide an alkaline fluid that is expelled during ejaculation. The prostate is not part of the female anatomy. The healthy prostate is slightly larger than a walnut and is located just below the bladder. This gland surrounds the urethra.
Cancer is caused by the abnormal growth of cells in the body. For men that suffer from metastatic prostate cancer these cells begin the in the prostate gland and can spread to other parts of the body. With more than 30000 people being taken by this sleeping assassin a good diet and healthy lifestyle are some of the best ways to not end up being part of this statistic.
With the advances in medical technology today it is possible to overcome the problems associated with an enlarged prostate and even prostate cancer. Gamma-tocopherol: The other vitamin EWhen you shop for vitamin E supplements in most cases you will see "alpha-tocopherol" on

The 'Anatomy' of Fannie Hurst, Memoirist and Romance Novelist
Largely forgotten today, Fannie Hurst was for many years one of the most highly paid and widely read novelists of her time. Anatomy of Me is Hurst's just-published autobiography, which she discusses at this 1958 Books and Authors Luncheon.
What the famous "Queen of the Sob Sisters" novelist had envisioned as "an egotistical splurge," an attempt to "open the labyrinth of my so-called mind and invite everybody in to see how it worked," instead seemed to be interesting readers more for its stories of the famous people she had known. Bowing to this curiosity, she recounts some of the more amusing anecdotes from the book. She tells of Theodore Dreiser becoming so engrossed in a conversation that he ended up flying to St. Louis with her just so he can keep on talking, and of an amusing trip to Paris where she represented the Authors Guild and ended up handing a French dignitary a slice of cold cooked turkey along with her card. Finally, she gives an exhaustive and revealing portrait of a day at the Roosevelt White House, ending sometime in the early morning when Eleanor Roosevelt appeared at the door of the Lincoln Suite in a bathing suit and asked if Hurst wanted to see her stand on her head!
An expert in giving her audience what they want, Hurst, after somewhat pointedly explaining that she conceived the book as "a wonderer in search of herself," resigns herself to amusing and beguiling these ladies who lunch, all while remaining something of a mystery.
Born in 1889, Hurst spent her childhood in St. Louis before coming to New York, determined to write. After several years of rejection, she placed a story in The Saturday Evening Post, after which her work was in constant demand. Hurst's books are characterized by purple prose and questionable grammar, but manage to fuse the basic elements of what we now call romance novels with a progressive attitude toward the hot button social issues of the day. Hurst gained fame with such books as Back Street (1931), which deals with adultery, and Imitation of Life (1933), which focuses on race relations. These and several other of her books were made into successful Hollywood movies that further broadened her appeal -- an appeal that crossed both geographical and class boundaries, as illustrated in this anecdote from the Jewish Women's Archive:
Best loved for the tearjerker Back Street, Hurst favored her most self-consciously social novel, Lummox [1923], which earned the praise of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin and Leon Trotsky. In fact, Trotsky entertained her with an impromptu recitation of the chapter "The Cathedral Under the Sea" when she visited him in the Soviet Union.
Hurst used her celebrity to promote many causes, some of which were quite progressive for their time. She advocated for women to keep their maiden names (in 1921); was a member of the Urban League, which promoted equality for blacks; and toward the end of her life used her television program, "Showcase," to explore the plight of homosexuals. This outspokenness extended to a defense of her unconventional personal life. As reported in the Jewish Virtual Library:
In 1915, she had secretly married pianist Jacques Danielson, and they each had their own residence. When their marriage was revealed in 1920, a New York Times editorial took them to task for having separate residences when there was a housing shortage. Hurst retaliated by stating that a married woman had the right to retain her own name, her own special life, and her own personal liberty. They remained happily married until his death in 1952. She was very sharp and to the point in vocalizing her views on the rights of women. When Justice Arthur Goldberg declared in 1962 "that it is time that we evaluated women on merit and fitness for a job," she snapped back, "Time, sir! You are a half-century too late."
At the same time, while holding views that many in mainstream America would have considered shocking, Hurst managed to retain both her popularity and her acceptance by the rich and powerful. As the story she tells in this talk illustrates, she was a good friend of the Roosevelts, and served on several New Deal committees. She also provided the subject for one of Roosevelt's best-known witticisms:
The novelist Fannie Hurst wanted to surprise FDR with the change in her appearance since she had been on a diet. She managed to slip unannounced into his office. The president looked up as she entered, then gestured for her to turn around in front of him. When she completed the turn, he commented, "The Hurst may have changed, but it's the same old fanny."
Hurst's good-natured puzzlement at people responding more to stories about her famous friends than musings on the wellsprings of her art is indicative of the tension in many a "popular" artist's makeup. The success they want is not always the success they get. Even her own editor, Kenneth McCormick, spoke of her as being, "…basically a fairly corny artist. We all know people who can write beautifully and can't tell a story worth a damn. She is really a wonderful storyteller."
Fannie Hurst died in 1968 at the age of 78. Among the many bequests in her will were endowments to create chairs in creative writing at two universities.

Many Canadian workers making up for extra time: Survey
By Misty Harris, Canwest News Service

Faced with anorexic staffing levels and heavier workloads, one in five Canadians is putting in longer hours at the office just to keep up, according to a new national labour force survey. But if the boss doesn't reward their increased efforts, 62 per cent will resort to compensating themselves by leaving early, faking sickness, taking extended lunch breaks or starting later.
Although such measures might seem risky when pink slips are being handed out in increasing numbers, human resources experts say employees who feel shortchanged will inevitably find ways to settle up.
"We know that employees will always even the score by cutting into the most discretionary behaviour first," said Sandra Robinson, a professor in the department of organizational behaviour at the University of British Columbia.
"So if they're calling in sick (and) taking longer breaks, you can bet they're already reducing their 'citizenship' behaviour in other ways not yet measured: not helping coworkers, not reading memos, missing non-essential meetings and other...facets at work."
In speaking with 956 workers in late January, Environics Research found common methods of self-remuneration include leaving early (53 per cent), working at a more leisurely pace (27 per cent), taking sick days when healthy (23 per cent), extending lunch breaks (21 per cent) and arriving late (16 per cent).
Toronto executive Philip Blake says he'll abandon work for an impromptu gym session or to read a book if he's feeling especially stressed. His organization, however, encourages such workday escapes by providing access to an on-site fitness centre, yoga classes, meditation and belly dancing, a putting green and driving range, games room with a pool table and video games, as well as a basketball and tennis court.
"It's about what goes on between people's ears," said Blake, president of Bayer Inc.
"Giving folks a chance to build their energy and focus helps takes the stress away, helps take distractions away and, overall, helps us be more successful as a company."
According to a Canadian productivity and balance strategist, it's this kind of philosophy that helps prevent long-term stress leave and other psychological fissures in corporate culture.
She says the survey results are an encouraging sign that employees are taking care of themselves — even if it's on the company's dime.
"Building in breaks and points of renewal, despite the fact that you're not done or caught up, is a very positive strategy," said Patricia Katz, who is based in Saskatoon."Because if the company's not looking out for you, who is?"
The ways workplace habits are changing have much to do with personal-risk assessment, notes Katz.
While employees who perceive a mild risk of being laid off will likely work harder in hopes the increased face-time will secure their position — about 20 per cent of people, according to the survey — Katz says those with an imminent sense of being let go will take care of themselves rather than expend precious energy on the company.
Because roughly half of Canadian businesses still use "rudimentary" methods of tracking employee behaviour, such as manual time cards, a spokeswoman for ADP Canada says most aren't aware of the extent to which such activity occurs.
Payroll company ADP Canada says its aim in commissioning the survey is to provide a snapshot of the trend for employers.
But Robinson cautions that it's not a complete picture because the data was self-reported and respondents tend to have limited recall of past behaviour.
To "avoid looking like chumps," she says, employees may also rationalize extra work hours by claiming to engage in self-compensation, even if they do not.
Survey data is considered accurate within 3.2 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

Posted by Julie Ask on June 8, 2010
Last year, every consumer brand seemed to be building an iPhone application. Towards the end of 2009, they began to say, 'We have an iPhone application. Now what?" For many, the answer seems to be "mobile Web." The open question is "how." I'll be publishing an in-depth study on how with my colleague Brian Walker, going into more depth on the implications of commerce for mobile Web builds. One of the strategic questions that must be answered first is, "do I build a mobile Web site for all devices (= long tail)?" or "do I have a more tiered approach with custom development for the handful of devices (short tail) which drive most of my traffic and a more automated approach for all the other devices (long tail)?" Good questions.
There are some good sources of information online. AdMob and Millennial Media publish monthly reports based on ad requests they see. Netbiscuits just published a white paper with a lot of good data.
First, how long is the long tail? According to the Netbiscuits white paper, it was 2,496 devices in February 2010. How short is the short tail (= 50% of the traffic)? In February 2010, only 12 devices. What is the number one device in each report? Yes, the iPhone -- or now iOS 4 platform. In terms of global traffic, Netbiscuits put Apple first with 36% of traffic while AdMob's numbers for Apple were a bit lower at 33%.

Most of the news this morning at WWDC was around iPhone 4 and iOS 4. Will leave the new device and platform play to my colleague Charles Golvin. I can't wait to get one of the new phones . . . very slick as it looks like a mini iPad in a modified format.
iAd . . . $60M committed for the second half of 2010. Initial advertisers include: AT&T, Best Buy, Campbell Soup Company, Chanel, Citi, DirecTV, GEICO, GE, JCPenney, Liberty Mutual Group, Nissan, Sears, State Farm, Target, Turner Broadcasting System, Unilever, and The Walt Disney Studios.
Pretty impressive. How do they get to $60M? Rumor is that the minimum buy-in is $1M, but it goes up from there. They claim to have 50% of mobile ad market share according to a J.P. Morgan study. I think it is a bold claim unless this is purely the media spend and doesn't include creative. Our number is comparable -- but without creative. Advertisers can count on the buzz surrounding iAd's launch on July 1. That alone may justify the initial buy. These initial advertisers are a smart bunch. A few million dollars isn't much to any one of them, but these are sizeable buys for mobile.
I think there are a lot of interesting questions to be answered. Many will be "wait and see," but here's my wishlist:
- What do I get for $1M+ in mobile advertising? Am I buying creative, development, ads, and analytics?
- How much targeting do I get?
- Is it performance-based? Or CPMs?
- What will work well on the i OS4 devices? Branding? Or, will the ads leverage context -- the context of how, where, and when I use these devices? Will the ads drive me to online purchases or into a nearby store to make a purchase?
- How much control do I get over where my ads are placed?
Posted by Julie Ask on June 2, 2010
I get this question a lot from clients, and I saw a good example today so . . . I thought I'd share. How should we promote our services? Should we use TV? Online? Banner ads on cell phones? What is most effective? The high-level answer is "yes." Most of our clients are pursuing using their existing media -- whether it is ATMs in the case of Bank of America, the Web site for Walgreens, or TV ads by ESPN. Many are also using banner ads on the devices with which their devices are compatible. For example, they buy iPhone ads because the audience is right, and they can connect into the App Store on the application page.
Was watching ESPN this morning and saw a commercial advertising mobile TV in preparation for the World Cup.
What they did right and what I liked:
1) Used their existing media (TV) to promote mobile services. They also used an "event" (= World Cup) as a catalyst to promote their mobile TV service. With the World Cup being played in South Africa, there will be games at night, during the work day, and at many other times when people are unable to sit in front of their TVs.
2) The ad on TV gave the viewer context. "When would I use this application?" "Where would I use this application?" The TV ad shows the person switching on mobile video when he gets out of bed, is in the bathroom brushing his teeth, parking his car, and at work. They also demonstrate the quality of the application with zoomed-in views of the video service.

What do hair bows have to do with disaster relief? Quite a bit, according to one mom from Chiefland.
Amanda Cannon started "Hair bows for Hackleburg" after visiting the small town in Alabama last week to deliver supplies for victims of the tornadoes.
Cannon says after seeing the devastation and thinking about how happy a pretty hairbow makes her own young daughter, she had to find a way to help.
Cannon is looking for donations of head bands, hair bows, brushes, mirrors and other items. She is also collecting supplies for charities in Alabama.

New Celebration to Re-ignite "Failed" Resolutions Debuts February, 2011
First annual "This Time I Mean It Day" to take place February 15, 2011 to focus on allowing "failed" resolutions a second chance and to allow people the support they need to recommit to them.
According to surveys, as many as 92 percent of New Year's resolutions never come to fruition with as many as 80 percent of people giving up by the third week in January. "This Time I Mean It Day" has been established to give people a reminder to recommit to their goals and to celebrate their successes with other participants across the globe.
When asked why February 15th was chosen, Marcus responds, "I've never been a big fan of January first being the only date associated with self-improvement. You can change any time you want. That said, it's six weeks from the start of the new year and most people have long-since forgotten about what they promised. Also, since it's really about making a commitment, I figured what better day to make a commitment to your success than the day after the ultimate holiday about commitments, Valentine's Day?"
Marcus explains the philosophy of the event as a way for fellow "recovering perfectionists"
The event is open to the public and Marcus says anyone who's imperfect is invited to play along wherever they are. A free downloadable goal planner is available at www.ThisTimeIMeanItDay.com and Marcus says he's looking to partner with other individuals, organizations, or sponsors who share a positive vision.

ThisTimeIMeanIt.com, founded by Scott "Q" Marcus is the hub of a supportive group of people who come together to improve their lives and help others by providing options and ideas that one person alone might not see.

He is the author of the New York Times' best selling book Injustice.
Mr. Brook joined the ACLU of North Carolina as its Legal Director in 2012. His practice areas correspond with the ACLU's civil liberties focus, touching particularly on racial justice and LGBT issues, as well as 1 and 4 Amendment concerns. Since becoming its Legal Director, the ACLU of North Carolina Legal Foundation has challenged state restrictions on reproductive choice, voting rights, and the freedom to marry in court. He is a member of the North Carolina Advocates for Justice Racial Justice Task Force as well as the North Carolina Bar Association Constitutional Rights and Responsibilities Section.
The event will be held at the Cardinal Club in downtown Raleigh on Tuesday, November 12, 2013. Lunch will be served beginning shortly after 12:00 p.m. and the presentation will begin at approximately 12:30. The event should conclude at approximately 1:30.

I've got ten easy tweaks that I've done to make my iPhone work for me and my mom life. Today I'm going to list the first five.
1. I got rid of the "Sent from my iPhone" message that shows up by default at the end of every email sent out from the iPhone. Did you know that was there?? You can customize what goes at the end of your emails in Settings. Tap the settings button, then "Mail, Contacts, Calendars". Scroll down until you see "Signature". Tap that and type in whatever you want to say. My signature is simply my first name but maybe I'll shake that up one of these days.
2. I customized the apps that show up in the bar at the bottom of the screen. The ones that will be there when you purchase your phone are Phone, Mail, Safari and iPod. You can't delete any of these factory installed apps but you can move them around. To do this hold down on the app icon in the bar that you'd like to move. Wait for it to start wiggling and then drag it to it's new spot. Now you've got a free space at the bottom of your screen. Tap and hold on the app you want to move and drag it down to the bottom space. Because this bar shows up on every iPhone screen I like to keep the bottom space reserved for apps I use constantly. As of today they are Phone, Mail, Edibles and iPod. Although I'm not using Edibles as often as I should, it's mostly there to induce guilt.
3. I arrange the rest of my apps according to what they're used for and how often they're needed. The apps I use most frequently are on my home screen. The next few screens are for apps that I use less frequently. Then I've got the ones for my kids grouped together. I've found that if I do this my kids are less likely to rearrange the apps themselves. Before iTunes 9 came along rearranging apps was a big, fat pain. Now that you can do it within iTunes it's much easier. This link will take you to my previous explanation of how to make that work for you. *Update 9/20 – I've now got an entire screen set aside for folders that hold my kids' apps. I love being able to hide them away a bit.*
4. Since my kids are on my iPhone fairly regularly I've set up some restrictions as to what shows up. I've gotten rid of You Tube and disabled the installing of apps from the phone. I've also set up ratings for the music and podcasts that are allowed to be played. I don't have restrictions on the ratings for TV Shows and Movies but that's only because the videos on my phone are mostly for my kids anyway. If I did have a movie that I didn't want them to see I'd set up the ratings and simply disable it when I wanted to watch. You can also set ratings for the apps allowed on your phone. When I originally did this I set it to not allow apps for 17+. I'm embarrassed to admit that I then spent over an hour trying to reinstall the Facebook app because it had disappeared. I'd download it and install it but it was nowhere to be found! It finally dawned on me that the app wasn't showing up because it was rated 17+. So learn from me! Some apps have that rating because they have the potential to display material rated 17+ and they'll be blocked whether they ever show that content or not. Because of this I don't have restrictions set up for my apps. I wrote a post explaining more about Restrictions when the new OS 3.0 originally came out.
5. If your kids are on your iPhone at all then you know how quickly they can drain a battery! To conserve battery life you can turn off blue tooth, push notifications, and Wi-Fi, lower the brightness of your screen and lower the time until your Auto-Lock kicks in. I plug my phone in every night and generally about halfway through the day too. It is my only phone so I've got to keep it charged. Read more of my thoughts on this here.
Come back tomorrow for part two of my list!
3 Responses
Just wanted you to know that I enjoy all your simple phone management ideas. I especially love your app reviews and think you and your kids are spot on with your suggestions! My kids love everything your kids do! Looking forward to next week and hearing about the ones you've purchased! Keep up the awesome blog!
Your tips are very helpful and have taught me SO much. Thank you so much iphone mom!
Have you ever had to wipe your phone and reinstall everything from itunes? Apple store guy recommended I try this to help my battery. I am petrified to try it! Any info?

It's time to go to work.
Now that all of the principal people – team president Mike Holmgren, general manager Tom Heckert and head coach Eric Mangini – are in place for 2010, it's time for the Browns to get down to the nitty-gritty and begin in earnest the job of rebuilding this team.
And it's a big job.
Yes, the Browns this season won their last four games for the first time since 1994 – their next-to-last playoff appearance, of course – and while that's commendable, the fact remains they finished 5-11 overall and had a franchise-worst 1-11 start, during which time they were non-competitive, especially offensively, to historic proportions.
A 12-game stretch is a lot longer than one consisting of just four contests, so it only makes sense, then, that what happened through the first three-fourths of the season gives a much truer picture as well of the actual state of the team. That late-season push should not – and can not – mask the truth, that this is a team with plenty of major holes and plenty of major questions.
And when we say a lot, we mean a lot.
At the top of that list is the quarterback situation. If you don't have a capable quarterback in the NFL, then there's no way to have a capable team. Quarterback is, by far, the most important position not just in football, but in team sports overall.
Do the Browns have their 2010 quarterback on the roster right now in the person of Brady Quinn or Derek Anderson? No one knows. But while the other three teams in the AFC North all are set at quarterback – the division champion Cincinnati Bengals with Carson Palmer, the divisional playoff round-qualifying Baltimore Ravens with Joe Flacco and the defending Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers with Ben Roethlisberger – the Browns have no idea who will be under center for the season opener, let alone if the guy is for real and will still be there halfway through the year.
Holmgren is a quarterback guru. He took a nobody like Matt Hasselbeck and turned him into a very good player with the Seattle Seahawks. Can he do the same with Quinn, Anderson or whomever?
Yes, Holmgren will be – and should be – involved with the tutoring of the quarterbacks. While he will have his hands full in being team president and doesn't have time – nor should he – to pick up a whistle on a consistent basis, here's hoping and expecting that he gets his coaching fix out of the way by taking the quarterbacks under his wing. That's no disrespect to veteran quarterbacks coach Carl "Tater" Smith, a capable man, but he would no doubt welcome some – if not a lot – of input from someone as accomplished in the field as Holmgren.
Also, it's not known what kind of an offense the Browns will run. Will it be the run-oriented attack that came into being through all the victories down the stretch, or the West Coast, pass-first scheme favored by Holmgren, who has run it everywhere he's been?
A power running game and a rollout passing attack with short throws are about as different as winters in Hawaii and winters in International Falls, Minn.
Should the Browns decide to implement the West Coast, then there are a good number of players on the roster right now who just won't fit anymore.
In addition, after playing a 3-4 the last five years, will the Browns continue with that defensive scheme or go to a 4-3? Holmgren prefers the latter alignment, while Mangini is a strong proponent of the former.
If the Browns go to a 4-3, then it's going to change not only what kind of players they procure, but also their assessment of every front-seven player currently on the roster. A lot of players – not just with the Browns but throughout the NFL – fit one scheme or the other, but not both.
So, other than finding a quarterback and deciding on both offensive and defensive schemes, the Browns are pretty well set then, right?
Yeah, right.
But no matter what offenses and defenses the Browns choose to run, and who their quarterback turns out to be, the Browns, in a broad sense, simply have to find better players at nearly every position. It's been said the Browns excelled at special teams this season because their roster was filled with special teamers. That's not good. You need to find talented playmakers on both sides of the ball. The Browns were asking too many special teams-quality players to step up and be producers on offense and defense. It's simply not realistic to expect those players to be able to do that on a consistent basis.
Special teams is one-third of the game. But it can't be the entire game.
The next time the Browns get talented, young players who are also head cases, such as wide receiver Braylon Edwards and tight end Kellen Winslow, they have to keep them and find a way to get them to perform well on a regular basis. They can't just throw them out the door for the garbage man and be happy to accept draft picks or special teamers in return.
With 11 picks in the NFL Draft, including the seventh overall, the Browns have a great opportunity to improve themselves in dramatic fashion. But it won't happen without good, sound talent evaluation – talent evaluation where everybody is on the same page, with egos checked at the door – from Holmgren, Heckert and even Mangini.
If the Browns fail to take advantage of this, then it will set them even further behind their foes in the division.
So enough talking. Enough introductory press conferences. Enough major hires.
Enough of everything superfluous.
It's time to go to set about the process of building a Browns team that will eventually resemble those great Browns teams fans remember so well.
It's time, quite simply, to go to work.

a building for university or college students to live in Wordfinderdegree, dissertation, education, graduate, hall of residence, lecture, major, seminar, tutorial, university See related entries: Buildings, University life Culturestudent lifeThe popular image of student life is of young people with few responsibilities enjoying themselves and doing very little work. This is often not true. Many older people now study at college or university, sometimes on a part-time basis while having a job and looking after a family. Many students are highly motivated (= keen to do well) and work very hard.In Britain reduced government support for higher education (= education after A level) means that students can no longer rely on having their expenses paid for them. Formerly, students received a grant (= regular payments of money) towards their living expenses. Now most can only get a loan, which has to be paid back. From 1999 they have had to pay a fixed amount towards tuition fees and in 2011 a vote was passed in Parliament allowing universities to increase the amount up to a maximum of £9 000 per year. Scottish students studying at Scottish universities do not pay fees. In the US students already have to pay for tuition and room and board. Many get a financial aid package which may include grants, scholarships (= awards of money for study) and loans (= sums of money lent). The fear of having large debts places considerable pressure on students and many take part-time jobs during the term and work full-time in the vacations.Many students in Britain go to a university away from their home town. They usually live in a hall of residence for their first year, and then move into a rented room in a private house or share a house with housemates. They may go back home during vacations, but after they graduate (= get a degree) most leave home for good. In the US too, many students attend colleges some distance from where their parents live. They may live on campus in one of the halls, or off campus in apartments and houses which they share with room-mates. Some students, especially at larger universities, join a fraternity or sorority, a social group usually with its own house near the campus. Fraternities and sororities often have names which are combinations of two or three letters of the Greek alphabet. Some people do not have a good opinion of them because they think that students who are members spend too much time having parties.In Britain the interests of students are represented by a student's union which liaises (= acts as a link) with the university on academic matters, arranges social events and provides advice to students. Individual unions are affiliated with (= linked to) the NUS. The student union building is usually the centre of student life and has a bar and common room, and often a restaurant and shops. British universities have a wide range of societies, clubs and social activities including sports, drama and politics. Especially in their first year, US students spend a lot of time on social activities. One of the most important celebrations, especially at universities which place a lot of emphasis on sports, is homecoming. Many alumni (= former students) return to their alma mater (= college) for a weekend in the autumn to watch a football game. During homecoming weekend there are also parties and dances, and usually a parade (= procession).When social activities take up too much time, students skip lectures (= miss them) or cut class (AmE) and take incompletes (AmE), which means they have to finish their work after the vacation. In the US this has the effect of lowering their course grades, but most US universities expect this behaviour from students and do little to stop it. Students are thought to be old enough to make their own decisions about how hard they work and to accept the consequences. A few students drop out (AmE flunk out) but the majority try hard to get good grades and a good degree.nounjump to other results
