A Story explaining how I met my girlfriend
It was my gay best friend's 18th birthday and we were having a house party. I'd gone there with a girl who I'd been sleeping with casually for a few weeks. She was a short, pretty girl with jet-black hair similar to mine. We were into the same things sexually and in general and at the time I felt that things would end up going further than just casual sex. We had already spent the...Read On

Hi, My name's Venessa. This is my story of my senior year in high school. It starts at a party/dance at my girlfriend's house... I walked in the door of my friend's house and immediately smelled the scent of hundreds of grinding bodies and heard the deep bass of the music. As I entered farther into the house I pulled up my bra to cover more of my ample yet tight 36C breasts. I was wearing...Read On

A woman's dunken confession leads to humiliating public lesbian sex.

The basic outline of the scenario was mine, but the actions and words of "Nikki" are by v-card and are used by permission. I have tried, as much as possible to present a consistent story without deviation from the actions presented in the chat. In some cases, however, I have elaborated on the chat to...Read On

Sarah gets her woman, her school teacher crush.
The summer school trip was coming up. It wouldn't be like your usual school trip, however. The Long Stockings Private School for Gifted Girls and Young Ladies never really seemed to have party style school trips. They would go to Sea World to study the marine life – no rides while there, no swimming, no fun! The students even had to have their swimmers made to school regulation, with a...Read On

Emma's neighbour helps with the sun cream and then introduces her to the delights of another woman.
It was the first proper day of summer, the sun shone brightly and there was the almost inaudible buzz of insects flitting from flower to flower. Emma loved the summer, she loved being outdoors and this was her first opportunity to bask in the heat. She dusted down the sun lounger and positioned it in the sun in her back garden. Then after slipping into a two piece bikini and wrapping a...Read On

Sixteen year old Amber visits High School Nurse Candi.
I sat up and ran a hand through my straight black hair. I was a bit confused about why Amber was even here? I worked as a part time nurse at the local high school.

Then suddenly, FUMPT, a full patch of hair. "Shave it?"...Read On

Internal validity
Data collected from an engineering organization is influenced by many factors and all the relevant variables cannot be fully controlled as they would be in a true experiment
External validity
Limited by the organizations that contribute data and the background of the industry experts that participate in the research
While a model calibrated to a single organization's data can be useful, it is less than fully definitive for other organizations.
Potential inaccuracies in effort and requirements metrics due to changes in business systems and practices over the time span of the projects
Mitigated though:
The use of consistent counting rules and involvement from personnel familiar with the projects
Holding workshops to ensure survey respondents had a consistent understanding of the questions

LOCATION: Munster D-48149, Germany
Emeritus Professor of Philosophical Anthropology, University of Münster, Germany. Author of Scholasticism and others.
Primary Contributions (1)
the philosophical systems and speculative tendencies of various medieval Christian thinkers, who, working against a background of fixed religious dogma, sought to solve anew general philosophical problems (as of faith and reason, will and intellect, realism and nominalism, and the provability of the existence of God), initially under the influence of the mystical and intuitional tradition of patristic philosophy, and especially Augustinianism, and later under that of Aristotle. From the time of the Renaissance until at least the beginning of the 19th century, the term Scholasticism, not unlike the name Middle Ages, was used as an expression of blame and contempt. The medieval period was widely viewed as an insignificant intermezzo between Greco-Roman antiquity and modern times, and Scholasticism was normally taken to describe a philosophy busied with sterile subtleties, written in bad Latin, and above all subservient to Roman Catholic theology. Even the German idealist philosopher...

A great tool very strong but needs sharpening. if you want it for throwing or digging into a steep hill to make a seat for hunting its a perfect backpacking tool.
Good sturdy shovel. It handles like a battle ax. Wish it had a longer handle.
Although [like every True Swords product] it arrived fast and on time, the shovel had multiple scratches and dents on both sides of the blade as well as the handle, which may have been caused by shipping. It also arrived only somewhat sharp, which isn't a problem at all if you know how to sharpen any utility edge.Additionally, though I should have easily realized this when I saw the picture and when it was not at all mentioned in the description, it did not come with any kind of sheath. (Unless, of course, you count the bubble wrap from shipping.) (Which did absolutely nothing to protect it from scratches and dents, so...I guess not.)

Don't buy appliances at Home Depot, you'll regret it!
"I had a bad experience replacing my appliances at Home Depot in Seattle, WA. Their delivery and installation is done by the worst companies and rude installers. After two attempts of having my appliances attempted to be installed at my house, I ended up canceling the order. The installers always presented all the reasons why the appliances couldn't be installed, and that I had to make all sort of adjustments to my kitchen if I wanted to consider getting appliances. This was done in a very authoritative manner, with bad manners and with no solutions from the installers. I felt I was asking them for a big favor as opposed to have them service my big ticket item. My house is a newer house (10 years), and with no problems whatsoever when I discussed with the Home Depot appliance team. Trying to talk to the management team at the store was useless, as they mentioned their appliances are installed by a third party and they couldn't do anything about it."

Baking For Hospice
I made these cupcakes a couple of weeks ago for the monthly baking for hospice arranged by one of my readers, Nessie. The cupcakes are called Banana Fudge Cupcakes and the recipe is from the Crabapple Bakery Cupcake book. Unfortunately it is packed away, so I cant give you the exact recipe, but I can give you the idea.
The cupcakes are little banana cupcakes, studded with chopped macadamia nuts. I would suggest just using your favourite banana cake recipe. The icing is a chocolate buttercream – usual buttercream made with butter, icing sugar, cocoa and a little milk.. I topped the cupcakes with scorched almonds which I thought looked a little bit like Easter eggs. En masse the cupcakes looked quite effective. In the crabapple bakery book they topped their cupcakes with chocolate dipped macadamia nuts and drizzled them with white chocolate. I didn't have any white chocolate at home when I made these, but I do like the idea of the drizzle.
Even though I haven't done any baking in my new kitchen (all my baking ingredients are packed away – bench top arrives on Monday!!), I have cooked a few meals. So far we have had a mushroom risotto, chicken breasts topped with sliced almonds, cinnamon and smoked paprika and served with an orzo salad, and a fish dish cooked on top of the stove with tomatoes, olives and baby spinach leaves and served with rice and broccoli. Last night I made meatballs with minced beef, toasted pinenuts, ras al hanout (a Moroccan spice blend), smoked Maldon sea salt and crushed garlic. I served it with a bughar wheat salad that had seeded, chopped tomatoes, baby rocket and lemon juice tossed through, extra rocket with avocado and natural yoghurt. This is actually my favourite kind of after work meal – it is quick and easy to prepare and I love meatballs and I also love Moroccan flavours.

Tomorrow, we may have a quiz in regards to guestimating square root functions (square root of 26 for example). You just use the equation for a tangent line for the square root function ( 1/2 root x as the slope - and then plugin y - 5 = m (x - whatever)... for 26.. you use 25 because you know the square root is 5.. do y - 5 = m (26-25).. and m is like 1 /10th.. so basically the guess is the square root of 26 is about 5 and 1/10th or so.. which is reasonable. So it's a nifty way to do it. There's going to be more on the quiz, it's our 7th, but I'll that up later. The latest section covers concavity.. telling whether a function is increasing or decreasing at x values.. just via being given a function.. f(x) = 5x^4 + 3x^2 + 4.. and via tricks determine where it increases/decreases/inflects/etc.
We had our midterm last Friday, and I'll see how I did on it next time. I was ready when I took it, so hopefully not so bad.Now that was that for starters, give me a second and my next post will be more fun.
Below is just something aesthetically pleasing I found, how the wiggle of the cosine function looks, and basically making stones out of it and building it high makes humans gasp in awe. check it

text: Our Between the BLs Summer Challenge will be ending on 9/4. There are three more weeks left of our challenge and lots of time to make a difference! The BL 8 Fall Challenge will be a 14 week challenge starting 9/11/09 and ending 12/18/09. The dates may be adjusted when we find out when BL 8 ends on NBC. The format will be the same a other BL challenges, i.e. weekly coaches, weigh-ins, and a COW (challenge of the week). But a new component of this BL will be a separate challenge for those of you who are in maintenance mode. Maintainers will be on a separate team and scored differently by keeping within a percentage or pounds within goal. If you haven't participated before, here is some information about our summer challenge http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2173748 The fall challenge will be similar. You can also read our thread. We need your input for this challenge. Do you like teams and separate threads? Or teams and one big thread? Or teams and separate threads merging into one thread as time goes on? If you are going to be part of the maintainers group, how do you think it should be measured -- % or pounds? Let us know what you liked and didn't like about the summer challenge (or previous challenges) and what you would like to see in the fall challenge. We're a democratic group and your input is important to us. It is everyone's challenge and we want it to be what works best for you. And if you would like to participate as a weekly coach, please let us know, too. Thanks for your help!

two young people 20 yrs ago had a dream. I know them well. They went to Israel before they took the chance of never making it. If they had waited, they would have never made it. For Sure!
Leave of absence from their company, gathered money from their small profit sharing,and good-bye to family and friends.
They grew up to have memories of Israel that won't go away.
He worked inspecting bananas, and she worked for the the tourism dept. To get there to live from the States, they had to have a bundle of paperwork cleared.
They were allowed to stay 6 months on a working visa. After the 6 months,they had to go to Jordan for 30 days to be cleared to come back for another 6 months,which they did. The pay was terrible. The year they spent was like no other. They were able to go to Church, and being Catholic, worshipped in a beautiful Church in Jerusalem.
At the time, it was the safest time in IsraeL.They lived on a kibbutz Just outside Tel-Aviv-They are not very old now, A lot braver,and so glad they took the trip before all turmoil that happened. Both sides better get their act together. Real Soon.

Review by silverarrowknits
This book was generously donated by Anova Books.First Impressions: Oooh! A knitting book with baby patterns! Everything is so cute and tiny! Ooooh, the patterns aren't pages and pages long; I could actually knit these items. There is no colorwork and limited finishing required (i.e., sewing buttons). This could be promising. Look! These patterns can be used for boys and girls!The Details: According to the book, there are "over 20 knitting patterns for 0-2 year olds." There are 7 sweaters (the Slip Stitch Sweater is cute), 7 cardigans and jackets (I love the Wide Collar Jacket), 3 vests (the vests are cute, but I am not a vest person), 6 accessories including a lace scarf for mom (the Little Dolphin Sleeping Bag is adorable...it is a mermaid tale for your baby!). The patterns are written in metric, but there is conversion information for needles, weights, and lengths. Also, although the patterns are cable and lace heavy, there are no charts. This doesn't bother me, because I am not a chart person (heresy, I know); however, I know this is a deal breaker for some. Almost all of the patterns have a good picture of the front of the finished product (either the item flat or on a child with a clear view). Now, not all of the patterns have this (Wide Collar Jacket, I am looking at you); however, this book does a better job than other pattern books. Finally, the items are knit in Debbie Bliss, Malabrigo, MillaMia, and Rowan.Knitter Level: Although the book is cable and lace heavy, I feel that an advanced beginner could knit these items. The designs are super simple (e.g., knit 2 sleeves, 1 front, and 1 back). Final Thoughts: This is a cute baby pattern book with a lot of variety in types of items. The book really focuses on cables and lace, so if these are not your bag, this book won't be to your liking. At the same time, there is no colorwork and there is limited finishing required once you sew up the pieces (e.g., no sewing buttons), so many of these patterns may be the next for a newer knitter.

I have something a little different for you guys today! I've just been checking out some of the horny action over on the Urban Brits site and I thought you might want to see some of it. I know a lot of you like the mean looking boys like I do, and I think Adam Watson is one of those guys we can all look at and imagine him sliding his chav cock into our ass and fucking the cum out of us real hard!
The lucky lad getting that hard chav cock for this video is the cute and slim bottom boy Aiden Jason.
Adam Watson doesn't really look like a porn star, he's just one of those guys who needs some money and decides that sticking his cock into another lads ass is an easy way to get it. But that is pretty much what they're famous for on the site. They just get random amateur boys and film them wanking, sucking cock and fucking.
They start off with Aiden Jason sucking on the chav cock of his new friend, really servicing the uncut head and pleasuring the helmet. Adam's cock is solid, and after feeding his young friend he's licking out the lads smooth and tight hole and sucking on the twinks dick too before the real action begins.
Some guys are natural tops when it comes to porn, and I think Adam Watson is one of them. He really gives it to that bottom boy, bending him over on the stairs and stuffing his ass with his cock. But, being a fan of boys riding my cock – when I get the chance – seeing Aiden Jason sliding down that dick and riding it, with his own twink prick hard and bouncing around in front of him, that's the best view! 😉

London, Oct. 17 (PTI): HSBC, UK-based banking giant, has announced its decision to shift 4,000 jobs to India, China and Malaysia in the biggest single export of finance positions to Asia amid threats of legal action by its union.
The decision comes just months after the bank blamed rising national insurance costs and increasing government regulation for 1,400 jobs cuts at its head office.
HSBC, which has more than 45,000 staff in the UK and about 100,000 worldwide, said that the jobs in call centres and processing would be moved overseas in tranches over the next three years.
Bill Dalton, HSBCs chief executive said the job cuts were essential for the banks continued success.
He said the decision reflected HSBCs responsibility to all its stakeholders to remain efficient and competitive.
He said, The creation of new jobs in developing countries such as India, China and Malaysia is a very positive contribution to their economies.
Unifi, the financial workers unions, said it would fight the move tooth and nail and was considering industrial action.
The bank said 1,500 positions would move from Britain in 2004, another 2,000 in 2005 and 500 more in 2006.
Of the 4,000 jobs to be moved, 1,300 will go from HSBCs processing centres in Birmingham, Swansea, Sheffield, Brentwood and Essex, which will close by the end of 2005.
About 1,400 jobs from HSBCs call centres in Swansea, Leeds, Hemel Hempstead and Edinburgh will also be cut. The remaining positions to be switched will come from other back office operations.
HSBC spokesman Adrian Russell said the banks Asian processing and call-centre operations would employ 8,000 people by the end of this year.
The company has three sites in India, two in China and one in Malaysia. But by the end of 2006, 87 per cent of the 55,000 jobs in HSBCs British bank would still be based in Britain, he said.
HSBCs move is the latest in a rush by British financial services companies to outsource work to Asian economies, particularly India, to save costs.
HSBC said it had already globalised 3,000 British jobs in past years.

San Francisco Police Department
March 11, 2003
Subject: VANDAL OF AIDS MEMORIAL SENTENCED TODAY
A San Francisco man was sentenced today after he was arrested on July 22, 2002 for vandalizing the National AIDS Memorial Grove in Golden Gate Park in June of last year. Philip Atkinson, 20, pleaded guilty to a felony count of malicious mischief and no contest to a hate crime.
A week after Officer Jon Cook, a gay SFPD officer, was killed in a police vehicle pursuit crash, Atkinson had spray-painted anti-gay graffiti on the memorial. Concentrated effort on the part of investigators resulted in Atkinson's arrest several weeks later.
Atkins was sentenced to felony probation for three years. He also has been assigned anger management and sensitivity training instruction. In addition, he has been ordered to do 150 hours of community service, to clean the AIDS Memorial Grove eight times a year, and to write a letter of apology to the custodians of the Grove.

Zato is an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) and app server written by pragmatists for pragmatists. It provides an HA load-balancer, hot-deployment, and hot-reconfiguration almost everywhere (forget server restarts). It has a browser-based GUI, CLI, and API (forget XML configuration). It supports many protocols, industry standards, and data formats, including HTTP, JSON, SOAP, REST, AMQP, JMS WebSphere MQ, ZeroMQ, Redis, SQL, and FTP.
Huxley is a set of classes that makes it trivial to produce legitimate output for queries made by the prevailing standard of REST queries. Instead of writing a network API with many methods, being run over RPC, you instead write only a couple of methods that are accessed by HTTP GET requests. You then return the results (in either XML, JSON, or text) for processing. XML and JSON are chosen because of the ease by which they can be parsed by most languages. In this way, you open up the scope of your network services to many more people than would otherwise have access to it.
WSF Staff is Web Service Framework for C++, AJAX, and J2ME that is based on Apache Axis2/C. WSF Staff wraps Apache Axis2/C code into C++, and also provides many additional features: a stateful Web services implementation in C++ with instance support, a synchronous and asynchronous client implementation in C++, AJAX, and J2ME, a service-component architecture implementation, support for RESTful Web services and clients, WSDL support with xsd import and export, J2ME client support (based on ksoap), a flexible and extensible code generator to generate any sort of Web service related source code (not only in C++), security support (users, groups, sessions, ACLs, etc.), and a Web application toolkit (webapp) with widget support.
RestPose is a search engine. It is designed to take a set of documents and then, when given a query, to return ranked lists of documents which are a good match for that query. RestPose manages a set of internal indexes and provides an interface (over HTTP, in a fairly RESTful style, using JSON as the main transfer format) which allows documents to be submitted and removed from indexes, and which allows searches to be performed.
Fulworx is a REST framework that uses simple annotations of XWork "Action" implementations to expose restful interfaces. Similar to Struts, Fulworx sits as a controller on top of Restlet. Each action is attached as a resource using Restlets. Standard resources are represented by default as XML (or JSON) using JAXB, but any representation may be specified. Actions may be used in other frameworks such as Struts and Webwork, since they're just XWork implementations.
RoboZombie allows easy integration with remote services by allowing you to replicate an endpoint contract and generate a proxy to access it. Contracts can be very flexible in terms of the resources they access. These could be vary from static HTML content or an RRS feed, to a RESTful web service endpoint. Each endpoint contract is specified on a single interface using annotations to provide the communication metadata. It is then wired into your code via an annotation, where it is created, cached, and injected at runtime.

Congresswoman claims a Filner groping (years ago)
Former San Diego mayor allegedly went in for a kiss
Don Bauder 5:30 p.m., Nov. 20
Frogtoes, my man, I gots to hand it to you. I don't know why you're selling all this wicked amazing stuff, but I like your style, bro. Another Runner-Up No Prize for you, home slice! Also, I'm offering a Special Edition No Prize for anyone out there who can identify whence cometh the very idea of the No Prize itself. I gave a hint on the first day, but merely repeating that intel will be Insufficient to win the Glory.
Enough stalling, make with the day's big winner:
Organite - Holy Hand Grenades and Tower Busters!!! - $100 (Normal Heights)
What do you do when an evil rabbit threatens to instigate the chi of your brave and faithful knights? Three words: Holy Hand Grenade. I am delighted by any and all references made to Monty Python's Flying Circus, Holy Grail or otherwise. The phrase, "and now for something completely different" titillates me. There is only one tree in my world that begins with the letter "L" (The LARCH). I'm always up for Camel Spotting. My hovercraft is full of eels. And on, and on, ad infinitum, you get the point.
ANYWAYS, as I was saying, I get thrilled to see the occasioal Python reference. Puts me in mind of my childhood.
An anecdote:
When I was, like, six (i.e. 5-8) years old, practically still a babe in arms, I joined my father and my Irish Twin (my brother, 18 months my junior) in recording the entire script to The Quest for the Holy Grail on Harry's reel-to-reel tape recorder. (note: Harry = father who Smelt not of Elderberries) Boo-yah! Reel-to-reel recording! Sure, we had access to cassette tapes and the means to record them, but why bother with that when you can do an Old Schooly, high fidelity, reel-to-reel recording of two adolescent kids and a grown man reading the script to one of the funniest movies of all time? Needless to say, it was awesome. I will never, come hell or high water, forget recording some of those scenes. Hearing my five (or so) year old brother struggle through the phrase "but, I thought we were an autonomous collective" was one fine moment. It was topped only by his delight at getting to swear mere minutes later for the line, "[you can tell he's a king] because he doesn't have [four letter word for "dung"] all over him." We laughed, we cried, we had one hell of a time. "Brave Sir Robin" was nearly impossible because, with our adolescent senses of humor in full swing, brother and I could not get through the song without cracking up in absolute hysterics. I mean, "he was not afraid at all to be killed in nasty ways, brave brave brave brave Sir Robin!" How do you expect someone who literally spends his entire day running around and playing in dirt, poking things with sticks, and trying to make himself burp to not absolutely die of laughter? Good times, good times.
After all this reminiscing I googled the Organite (sic) and found out that, "very powerful stuff here!!!!" equates to BB's and quartz crystals ("xtals" on the website. Better for txting?) frozen in fiberglass resin. Also, there may be some machine shop slag in there for good measure.
Now, I am the first to admit that there are all kinds of things I do not understand. This is one of them. If these guys can power my house, awesome! Sign me up. I'll even pay $25 bucks for an ounce of BB's just to save myself the risk of third degree burns from pouring molten fiberglass resin into molds. Sadly, I'm willing to bet my computer will give me a bummed-out look if I try and plug into an Orgone Generator. Maybe if I daisy chain the Holy Hand Grenades and Tower Busters in a series parallel array... nah.
Now go Away or I shall Taunt you a Second Time!
Kidding! Stick around for Fun and greater Excitement
PS - Apparently we cannot swear on here, even when quoting great literature. Interesting--I have personally always thought that 'tis better to be allowed and to choose not to than to not be allowed at all... Meh, rules is rules, I guess.
Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, Daniels! I'm in love! :)
Pike: Good stuff, man. And to get around the censors, a couple of rules:
The Spliff: Use the word a$$ (note the clever dollar signs).
The Pete: Placemark letters you f*&!ing a#$hole!
And AG is the sh! man. If she's interested, and you're available, hit that s%t now, while it's still on the market!
Some pointers, from a fellow blogger ;)
re: #2: Thought so :)
Hey, are we sure this is even a dude?
Cuz I'm thinking maybe not.
What say you, Pikey?
"Maybe if I daisy chain the Holy Hand Grenades and Tower Busters in a series parallel array... nah."
It's a dude. Trust me on this.
If you read his "Love Sac" blog, you will surely come to understand that Pike is of the masculine persuasion.
"It's a dude. Trust me on this."
Yeah, the techy stuff sounds very dude-ish. Still...
(Of course, my intersex friends would be all over me right now for automatically assuming s/he's either one. And they'd be right.)
Ya never know.
Okey, dokey. Here ya go:
"Pike, ... You need a Love Sac"
By dbayer
Pike, I thought you was of the male persuasion. Or does dbayer know something the rest of us don't want to know?
By Fish 3:51 p.m., Sep 23, 2009 > Report it
I was, I am. But I strongly suspect that the Love Sac would never discriminate in such matters.
By FullFlavorPike 4:14 p.m., Sep 23, 2009 > Report it
Thanks for the clarification, Daniels.
Mystery solved. :)
"I was, I am. But I strongly suspect that the Love Sac would never discriminate in such matters."
That has "dude" (and I mean RIGHTEOUS dude) written all over it.
AntiG, get over here. A chef. A Python fan, too. This may be the one for you! :)
He was a dude when I changed his diapers 25 years ago...
Snarfhund! Did yer son give you permission to 'out' his past diaper abuse? :)
He gets carte blanche comment policy :)
Glad my parental unit, "desertflower313" does not make a habit of reading comments on my blogs, but thoroughly delighted to make the acquaintance of the interestingly named snarfhund. What would this be in English, now: 'snuffydog?'
Actually, to get webtechnical about it, snarfhund best translates to "dog who goes around and grabs posts with good numbers"
EX: Comment #100 would equal a "Century Snarf"

Most companies lose 45% to 50% of their customers every five years, and winning new customers can be up to 20 times more expensive than retaining existing customers.
Moreover, just a 5% reduction in the customer defection rate can increase profits by 25% to 85%, depending on the industry. Given these claims, it is imperative that customers know what makes buyers and specifiers choose one supplier rather than another.
A collection of our thoughts on the subject of customer satisfaction are gathered below:
White Paper
Two questions are at the heart of business to business marketing – how do people make choices in favour of one supplier rather than another, and how can we push aside an incumbent supplier and break into a new account. This paper addresses these two questions and relates it to the customer journey.
White Paper
In examining the customer experience of over 500 b2b brands, we identified a step-by-step process to achieving b2b customer experience excellence that applies to virtually all b2b brands.
Nick Hague, Chairman of B2B International, in conversation with Chris Daffy, customer experience guru. Nick and Chris discuss how to embed the very best customer experience in organisations.
Recent research we conducted with marketing professionals of large b2b companies showed that only 14% of firms are truly customer centric where the customer experience is embedded into their company culture. We examined over 500 b2b brands to determine what makes a differentiated customer experience and have identified the six pillars of b2b customer experience excellence.
A focus on relationship-building is vital in order to increase satisfaction and engender loyalty. This article, part of our series on developing a marketing strategy, aims to explore why building solid customer relationships is so important.
White Paper
Satisfied customers usually return and buy more, they tell other people about their experiences, and they may well pay a premium for the privilege of doing business with a supplier they trust. Therefore, when we win a customer, we should hang on to them.
White Paper
Many research studies provide measures on satisfaction and loyalty, but few provide measurements on perceived value. So, there is a need for a new tool that more accurately measures perceived value; this is where the Net Value Score comes in.
Learn the fundamental stages of customer retention and see how even small increases in customer satisfaction can lead directly to significantly larger profits. This infographic highlights the four core principles of retaining customers.
Which information sources are the most effective for customer advocacy? Is a webinar more trusted than word-of-mouth? See which sources rank where in this handy infographic, highlighting the five most trusted information sources for B2B buyers.
To be able to enhance the customer experience, it is important to understand the factors, both rational and emotional, which play their part in the process. This infographic highlights the key factors in B2B buying decisions you should be aware of.

In my last two essays, I have made a concise introduction of the CCTV Security Camera Testers on our website, well, since we have mentioned the CCTV Security Camera Tester, we should also do not ignore the CCTV Security Camera. CCTV Camera Pros is a direct supplier of security cameras and video surveillance systems for home, business and government applications, so the CCTV Security Camera is really plays an important in the surveillance system. And here in this essay we are going to talk the some iPhone Apps which can view CCTV cameras.
A co-founder and managing partner at CCTV Camera Pros, who is a subject matter expert in the area of video surveillance and mobile software applications, once wrote in this blog that: one of the most popular questions that he hear from our customers is "What is the best iPhone app to view CCTV cameras remotely over the Internet?" Just as we all know, with the exploding growth of iPhone usage worldwide, it is no surprise that users with video surveillance systems want to view cameras installed in their home and businesses from their iphone. And here below are the two surveillance solutions and its accordingly best iPhone apps that CCTV Camera Pros recommends for viewing CCTV cameras:
a. One solution uses an Internet enabled stand alone DVR, the iDVR, and its representative iPhone app is Mobile CMS App for iPhone.
The iDVR is the best CCTV DVR in its price range that has the type of high end quality and remote viewing support that it does. The iDVR is exclusively sold by CCTV Camera Pros and is available in 4, 8, and 16 channel models. There is a free mobile CMS iPhone app that is compatible with the iDVR that allows users to view their cameras remotely in single screen view as well as 4, 8, and 16 camera view grids on one screen. The app connects to the DVR's H.264 video stream which enables very fast response time even over slower Internet connections. In addition to supporting remote view for iPhone, the app also works in 2x display mode for iPad and an app is also available for Android and Blackberry smart phones. If you want to view from a laptop or desktop computer, both Windows and Mac computers are supported. All in all, the quality of this app is the best that we have seen for a stand alone recorder.
b. The other uses an add-on device called a network video server that enables Internet access for CCTV cameras (with or without the use of a DVR). And its delegate is the Geovision GV-Eye iPhone App.
If you already have a DVR that you do not want to replace but it is missing support for iPhone access, then a Geovision GV-VS04H IP video server and the GV-Eye iPhone app may be the perfect solution for you. The GV-VS04H allows you to connect up to 4 CCTV cameras to it. The video server enables access to your cameras from the iPhone using the free GV-Eye app. Users can easily split the video signals from each of their cameras between their existing DVR and the Geovision video server.The GV-Eye iPhone app supports viewing one or 4 cameras per screen and also supports connecting to multiple video servers and Geovision IP cameras. This allows users to view multiple locations from the same app session.
We FiberStore is specializing in supplying fiber optic components and network equipment. Though you can only find the CCTV security camera testers on our website so far, the offering of CCTV security camera should not be too late.

Support groups offer a place where we can be ourselves, where we don't need to censor what we say. We can laugh, cry, mope, celebrate, use black humor, rail about the stupid comments we've heard, and find relief in the universality of our experiences. With our burdens lifted, we can go back to our families and friends and work and lives able to handle the difficult reality with equanimity.
All participants sign a confidentiality agreement and are asked to keep the conversations private. We can talk about ideas outside of the group, but not about people.
Before joining a group, each participant needs to talk with the facilitator to discuss whether the group will fit your needs. Then you can come when you want to come or need to come, a couple of weeks, a couple of months, once in awhile, just when you're receiving chemo or recovering from surgery or radiation or when you're anxious about an upcoming scan or blood test or doctor's appointment. Some people wait until after they have completed treatment before joining a group, when they feel vulnerable no longer being under the watchful eye of their doctors. Call 413-586-1642 to confirm time and place of all meetings.
