If there is one think failing social media marketing, it is a lack of social. I'll explain what I mean by this in a minute, but let's first examine the reality of today's business operations.More and more companies are moving to automated processing and communication to squeeze out operational costs and add a few more margin percentage points. When you call a service provider today to get a problem resolved, do you actually get a human being answering the call? Or, conversely, do you get an automated system that takes you through four levels of questions that get you nowhere and then leave you waiting 15 minutes or longer to get connected to an actual person to help you?

Dear Jimmy:
My mom wasn't thrilled, but it didn't take me too long to get over the fact that my new boyfriend doesn't go to church. In fact, he pretty much thinks everything in the Bible is a fairy tale, and he wishes I'd stop quoting things from The Purpose-Driven Life to him all the time. Anyway, my question is, why is Mr. Atheism such a hypocrite in the sack? If he didn't shout "Oh, God" a dozen times before doing his imitation of a beached trout, I would think he was faking it.
Dear Christy:
Remember what the big guy says in the Bible: "Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother; they played the harlot in Egypt.... They became mine, and they bore sons and daughters." In other words, scholars are increasingly realizing what a randy, ribald raconteur is the righteous resurrecter. Partly, this change of view is occurring because researchers have admitted that an omniscient God, by definition, must have better global access to 24-hour live porn than a teenage hacker with high-speed Internet access and his mother's credit-card number. Now, I may still be able to use a condom as a condominium, but eventually I hope to test out these theories myself, and when I do, it won't surprise me in the least to find that when my, er, booster rocket goes for orbit, a certain co-pilot has taken over the controls.
Got a moral quandary? E-mail Jimmy at firstname.lastname@example.com.
It Was No Nuremberg
Round two of the meeting between an Overland Park rabbi and an Olathe Nazi wasn't nearly as volatile as the first, but at least we snagged an interview with the skinhead.
In April, Rabbi David Fine threw a cup of Starbucks coffee in the face of Steven Boswell, a member of the National Socialist Movement, as Boswell was escorting a buddy through KCI. The two traded words, and a scuffle ensued. At the time, Boswell was wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the Nazi flag and a swastika pendant around his neck. But when he showed up in municipal court to face his disorderly conduct ticket, he wore a modest black suit and black tie and was accompanied by his tattooed wife and young daughter, both in happy pink sundresses.
Nonetheless, he was recognized by Rabbi Fine, who whispered, "That's him! That's him!" to his fellow yarmulke-clad benchwarmers in Courtroom F of Kansas City's Municipal Court. But the legal fireworks failed to ignite: The city dismissed charges against both the rabbi and the Nazi, and each was free to leave.
Boswell, the Nazi, is a 30-year-old self-described geek who resembles Crispin Glover and works as a mechanic. He tells the Pitch he became hooked on hate -- sorry, "racial pride" -- in high school when he read Mein Kampf. He was later kicked out of the Navy for his views. Disturbingly, he says that the day he tussled with the rabbi, he got at least ten waves, thumbs-ups and comments of support from strangers he encountered, including an old lady in an elevator who told him that her day had improved at the sight of him.
In all, Boswell was a pretty good sport about his day in court. Walking away from the courthouse, he even picked up a copy of the Pitch as he passed a stand, despite the fact that his NSM superiors were supremely pissed at the attention they got from this publication (the Strip's "Springtime for Hitler," May 12). "Yeah, Jeff [Schoep] was pretty ticked," he says of his group's commander. "But I read the Pitch, so I knew what to expect."
Satan's Condom
Sarah Carlew nearly fell off the exam table recently at the College Park Family Care Center in Olathe, so shocked was she to find a pamphlet touting "Saved Sex" in her new doctor's examination room.
"God never intended for sex to hurt our hearts and bodies," the pamphlet says. "He knew that sex was best 'protected' by the love and commitment in marriage. Not a condom. You could say that the condom is just another one of Satan's lies. All fun, no pain. The problem is he never delivers on his promises."
Carlew was surprised that her doctor's office was dispensing Sunday sermons along with prescriptions and prognoses. But what tore her paper gown even more was that the pamphlet contained misinformation. "Condoms offer little protection [against sexually transmitted diseases]," it reads.
The brochures, it turns out, arrived in the office thanks to nurse's assistant Deb Aldridge, who ordered them from a Fort Collins, Colorado, company called Life Cycle Books, according to office manager Barbara Overfelt. (Aldridge declined to comment.)
Carlew recently began working at a nonprofit, and her new insurance, Blue Cross and Blue Shield, assigned her to College Park Family Care, which has six locations in Kansas. She hadn't expected her insurer to send her to a medical center with a Christian message. She didn't have a problem with the doctor who saw her, but she says she plans to switch to a health-care provider that doesn't mix morals with medicine.

So I had a dream the other night in which my name was Madison Dawn - I woke up thinking that would be a great name for future baby #3 if it's a girl. Dawn is my moms middle name so that's good too. Anyways, I can't think of ANY boys names. I am completely blank. Hopefully I can dream up a boys name lol.
On another note completely --- I learned today that Alexander Skarsgard (from True Blood) shares a bday with my son.
Gosh he is so hot! lol If only I weren't married and I looked like Charlize Theron.

Canon Pixma MP 640 Paper Feed Problem
Likes # 0
Posted August 7, 2011 at 3:25PM
I have had this multifunction device for a while and am pretty pleased with it, apart from the heavy consumption of coloured inks even when printing only in greyscale (I believe this is a widespread issue with Canon printers). However, I now have a problem with paper feed from the rear tray. I am sure there is a mechanical problem, for which I don't blame Canon, because I accidentally dropped a biro in there without noticing! I fished it out when the machine reported a paper jam, but the rear feed hasn't worked properly since. It has always made a bit of a clatter while taking time to decide to start; now it claims there is no paper at all, even though there is. Just occasionally, it starts to feed a sheet over a single central roller, but soon stops with the paper on the skew. Cassette feed remains OK. My problem is that I have no idea how the rear feed is supposed to look when it is working properly, so I don't fancy dismantling something I don't understand. What I would really welcome is an illustration, or at least a really precise description, of what to look for when the back is off. Any advice welcome

I don't have this printer but from what you describe it appears you may have damaged the paper feed mechanism (the biro)

It had been the dream of a local surgeon: a gray, spaceship-like structure with floor-to-ceiling windows and a facade that jutted out toward the Pacific Ocean.
"I don't want a big square house like that one," Dr. Louis Moore reportedly told the architect, pointing to a neighbor's home during a drive around Palos Verdes Estates. And so, in 1958, an avant-garde, five-bedroom home with angular appendages was completed on the cliff above Malaga Cove.

Teaching The Next Generation Of Digital Natives
Enabled by the multi-faceted capabilities of the tablet, mobile is poised to revolutionize the classroom in the near term. But with its new skill sets and hyper-personalization, it's not just the classroom that will change, but teen expectations for marketing and our ability to deliver personalized and relevant experiences.
Tablets are rapidly becoming game-changers for mobile in the classroom. The large touch screen and flat design make it the ideal form factor for students to maintain eye contact with their teachers while still easily leveraging interaction with the device. Cost consciousness and social consciousness are also in alignment with the use of tablets because of the money that can be saved in the long run by reducing printing and textbook costs. Generating fewer printed materials is also beneficial to the environment.
As schools embrace tablets (usually the iPad or the Kindle for now) they open a whole new world for the devices to:
- Replace textbooks (which are often outdated before they are printed) with personalized set of books or excerpts tailored to class schedule
- Allow students to highlight passages and notes (often forbidden on shared or school property books)
- Aid with comprehension and research with built-in dictionaries and instantaneous Internet access
- Bolster reading skills and comprehension with text-to-speech capabilities that can read text aloud
- Study more efficiently for finals with custom test modules recommended based on individual student performance
The promise is of a completely custom experience, tailored to meet the particular student's needs. And beyond just study aids, these digital devices support the process of learning by enabling direct correspondence with teachers, allowing students to digitally turn in papers and homework assignments, and permitting teachers to monitor and track student progress. Students can also preserve a record of their work in a digital portfolio rather than the box mom kept in the attic.
Pushing this concept even further is the crop of tablet-only courses. For example, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt has an iPad-only Algebra course that includes video of the author solving equations, individualized assignments based on student performance and recommendations for practice problems. The approach allows a student to progress at his or her own pace, focus on the more difficult areas and digest concepts more quickly.
This customized experience is the edge of what we can expect more of in the future. Teens will expect marketing experiences to have this same level of flexibility.
While teen expectations may be higher, demands on them will be as well. In the information age, students will need a whole new set to be considered "literate." Today's kids and teens are confronted with more information than their parents were at the same age and will need the tools to efficiently process and use this information in order to be successful.
Tablets can be key teaching tools, helping students learn how to successfully cope and even thrive in the information age. According to The Reading Teacher by W. Sutherland-Smith, the survivors of the information era will master:
Screen literacy regarding graphics and symbols. Even younger students will have the ability to quickly determine which graphics are critical to the information or message and which are just decorative. For designers and marketers, this means increased thought will need to go into the use and value of graphics on conveying meaning within content.
Navigation literacy. Being able to navigate the Web to find key information within an environment is second nature already. What will be come critical is the ability to comprehend and weave a story out of information presented in a non-linear or non-sequential manner. Teens who master this skill will be even more critical of content or materials that do a sub-par job of delivering an easily accessible, streamlined message.
How to create content and build knowledge. The ability to create meaningful stories combining a variety of media formats combining text, sound, images and video has both positive and negative implications. It raises the bar on expectations for high quality multimedia content, but it also activates an audience that can do some of the content creation for marketers. In the past we thought of UGC as generally "junk," or filler content, but increasing sophistication allows users to be viable and valuable sources of rich and desirable content that inspires advocates.
Search literacy. The ability to set clear purpose statements for search and then focus keywords or questions before searching. This includes breaking topics into manageable "chunks" for easier research.
Connections and context literacy. Connecting disparate pieces of information to derive meaning from not just text, but also context of content, is key to quickly filtering information to determine if it is relevant and should be digested more thoroughly or should be passed over.
Skepticism and critical evaluation. As many as 39% of kids today think all information on the Web is true. As information age literacy increases, teens will be better skilled at evaluating the credibility of sources and content. Raising the bar on these critical thinking skills will force marketers to apply more rigor to the crafting of marketing messages.
Personal information literacy. Teens often have wide filters for sharing personal information, but increasingly will set boundaries for themselves shaped around their own views of privacy, safety and decency related to their personal information. Marketers will need to adjust for new expectations to deliver value in exchange for precious personal information.
Ethical behavior in a new world. Teens will become more adept at translating "real world" ethics into understandable guidelines for digital behavior. Marketers will need to understand and adhere to this new set of norms, even though they may not wind up documented anywhere.
Our consumers of the future will have increased expectations for personalization and a critical eye to the form, function and format of the messages we place before them. We need to start honing our skills in creating marketing experiences that have an increased sophistication, that add value through personalization and leverage multiple forms, formats and functions to communicate.

Tony Martin
Tony Martin
A popular crooner of the 1940s and '50s, Tony Martin's deliberate delivery and romantic ballads were more in keeping with vintage movie musicals than the currents that would shape the pop music of the last half of the 20th century. Taking his inspiration from singers like Russ Columbo, he had already been in some Hollywood musicals by the time he made his first hit record in 1938, "Now It Can Be Told" (with the Ray Noble Orchestra). Drafted into the Navy during World War II, rumors that he'd bribed his way into an officer's commission made work tougher to find after his discharge from the armed forces. A brief but fairly successful stint on Mercury in 1946-1947 helped get things going again, after which he moved to RCA and enjoyed many pop hits over the next decade. He also got a lot of work in radio and television, and performed with considerable success on the cabaret circuit with his wife, dancer/actress Cyd Charisse. ~ Richie Unterberger, Rovi

Kaneria asked to pay 2 lakh pounds |
London, 2013/07/10 15:03:14 , |
"My lawyers in London have been told by the ECB panel that I have to pay the total costs of 200,000 pounds which cover all legal costs for the ECB hearing held last year and the appeal proceedings this year," Kaneria said on Wednesday.
"My lawyers are now looking into our next line of action which includes the option of approaching the High Court or going to the Court of Arbitration for Sports," he said.
Kaneria, whose international cricket career came to a halt in August 2010 after a spot-fixing scandal broke out in English county cricket in September 2009, was banned for life from playing in England by the ECB disciplinary commission last year in June which found him guilty of corruption and cheating. The panel said Kaneria posed a grave danger to the sport and said he had attempted to lure other players into spot-fixing.
The ECB disciplinary panel had, earlier this month, dismissed Kaneria's appeal against a life ban from cricket. The Pakistan Cricket Board also ratified his ban and suspended him for life from any involvement in the playing, organisation or administration of cricket in any form or manner under the jurisdiction of PCB.
Kaneria, who has repeatedly denied his involvement in trying to encourage or coax his teammates at Essex county to indulge in spot fixing in county cricket, said he was disappointed by the latest verdict of the disciplinary panel. "But it is no surprise for me the way these proceedings have been held. I will consult my lawyers soon to look at the available options because I don't have this kind of money and since 2010 all my assets and accounts are documented and in knowledge of the concerned authorities in Pakistan and UK.
"I just want the PCB to also hold their own inquiry and review the entire case and look at the evidence which the ECB claims to have apart from the testimony of Mervyn Westfield," he said.

When you visit the parenting section of a bookstore, you will see that there are more books dedicated to raising boys than girls. If you have a boy at home and I suspect that you do hence your interest in this review, you will immediately understand why there is a need for these books.
In the preface to Raising Boys, Steve Biddulph spells the reason for this rather bluntly. Boys are at risk, he asserts. They are "three times more likely to die before the age of 21, and five times more likely to have problems at school."
It sounds shocking but it is definitely not an exaggeration. Speak to most parents or teachers of boys and ask them if they are anxious about the future of their boys and I believe that most of them will tell you that they are.
I really wish I had read this book earlier, when my son was much younger. Perhaps then, I would have been better prepared to parent a boy and know what to expect.
Biddulph explains in the first half of this book what it is about boys that makes them "special". They have testosterone surges right after birth, at the age of four and which peaks at 14. Testosterone causes them to be more energetic, restless and boisterous. This is the reason they must have strong guidelines and more structure in their lives.
There is a whole chapter on how boys' and girls' brains differ. Basically, boys have a slower rate of brain development and have fewer connections from the language half to the sensory half of the brain. Therefore, a boy's brain may not be so organised for language and reading. This is why it is important for parents to spend time talking to boys, explaining things every chance they get and reading to them from an early age.
Because of boys' brain composition, Biddulph recommends that boys start school a year later (he is of course referring to the Australian school system where children start school at five) so that they will be more ready for school when their fine motor skills have improved and they can then be on par with the girls. He claims that at that age, "boys' brains are an astonishing six to 12 months less developed than girls' ".
In this book, he points out that there are three stages of boyhood. It is important to be aware of these stages and ensure that the right adult plays a pivotal role in each of these stages.
They are:
- From birth to six, a boy belongs to his mother.
It is his mother who becomes his first model for love and intimacy. Biddulph posits that it is better for boys to be cared for by their parents or a close relative and not be sent to daycare until the age of three. This view has clearly not gone down well with many readers (evident from Internet reviews).
- From six to 14, a boy is learning to be a male and takes his lead mostly from his father.
Biddulph reiterates throughout the book how important it is for a father to shower love and be involved in his son's life. It is the father's responsibility to model correct behaviours and attitudes about being male and how to respect women.
Biddulph even goes so far as to say that if you (the father) routinely work a 55 or 60-hour week, including commute times, you just won't cut it as a dad. He also proposes that ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) could in some cases be the result of a child being "underfathered" or lacking the attention of his own father.
- From 14 onwards, a boy is becoming a man but he needs to take his cues from other male adults or mentors, not from his father anymore.
I don't know how crucial this is in ensuring a boy's successful development but I find this idea most alarming. If this is indeed true, where and how do we then find mentors of the right calibre in this day and age from the community for our boys? The Australians however have upon Biddulph's recommendation, I believe, set up two "rites of passage" programmes (one school-based and the other a camp) to help boys at this stage on their journey into manhood.
Overall, I would say that reading this book has provided me with many insights into the workings of a boy's mind as well as their behaviour and motivations. This book is a quick read once you get through the slightly tedious initial chapters on brain development and testosterone. After that, the book takes off in a chatty and lighthearted way.
The format of the book makes it very accessible. There are anecdotes, letters Biddulph has received on this subject (being a renowned psychologist with a special interest in boys and their education) and findings to break up the "serious" writing. I could have easily gone right to the chapters that concerned me most (those on "Mothers and sons" and "A revolution in schooling") and still understood the gist and main messages of the book.
I seriously doubt that this is the most comprehensive book on parenting boys out there as it is only 210 pages long and most of the topics are not covered in great depth or detail but it's a great starting point.
Steve Biddulph provides enough ideas and instils hope in the pages that as parents or teachers, you can make a difference in the lives of your boys, if you are willing to spend the time and make the effort.

After the local camera shop went out of business, customers contacted Ron Henges, the building's manager, about picking up their finished prints and repaired cameras. In the process of helping fill these last orders, customers recommended Ron open his own camera store to fill the need in the community. More than 30 years later, Creve Coeur Camera continues to serve and educate its customers through nine area locations, including a 12,000-square-foot flagship store. The shops supply and repair top-of-the-line cameras and photographic equipment and timely print services and teach how to craft charismatic images through a broad curriculum of classes.
The professional photographers at Target Portrait Studios capture paramount moments in premier lighting with high-tech digital cameras and a choice of vivid background images. After clients discuss pose preferences with their portraitist, subjects take the stage for approximately 10 minutes of flashing bulbs, bright smiles, and focused lenses. Clients are welcome to bring props and shadow puppets from home, and after choosing a background, they can further customize each image with one of the studio's props, if desired.
When Alive magazine publisher Elizabeth Tucker first thought about LASIK surgery as an alternative to the glasses she had worn since second grade, she didn't think it was an option. She feared the cost, worried about the time off work, and was unsure about how safe the procedure would be. Luckily, numerous friends told her about the transformative effects of their own procedures, and she finally decided to take the plunge at Crown Laser Center. There, a team of seven board-certified ophthalmologists, optometrists, and surgeons put Elizabeth and other clients at ease as they correct corneas with trained hands and cutting-edge equipment, boasting a 99% surgery-success rate. Elizabeth is now glasses-free and doesn't regret a thing. "It's been life-changing for me," she says in a video on the laser center's website, "I would recommend it to anyone."
The staff at Q Laser Center leads clients on a laser-driven journey toward smoother, less visibly vascular, or tattoo-free skin. The Center prides itself on using safe, FDA-approved, and effective laser treatments, carried out in a clean and comfortable environment, free of stressors such as onrushing asteroids. In addition to laser treatments, the Center's team also helps to rejuvenate the skin with chemical peels, cosmetic injections, and other aesthetic services.

One nippy Tuesday morning, Oliver H. Gerry swung open a set of doors inside the Grand Avenue Temple in downtown Kansas City. It was January 23, 1912, and that unfurled entranceway symbolized the first day Gerry Optical was open for business. In the 100 years since, professionally trained technicians have prepared eyewear to complement the styles of countless clients, including President Harry Truman and Senator Nancy Kassebaum. Today, each of the store's nine locations carries between 800 and 1,200 frames from brands such as Calvin Klein, Ray-Ban, Prada, and BCBG, and the flagship store on 75th Street also houses its own grinding lab to quickly custom-craft lenses and fix cracks after cartoon eye-popping mishaps. To honor its deep community roots, Gerry Optical gives back by partnering with Lions Clubs International to provide discount eye exams and eyeglasses to underprivileged families.
Under the Mercy umbrella of healthcare providers, Mercy Eye Care sees to patients' optical needs in the form of exams and prescription eyewear. Qualified optometrists evaluate vision at three area locations, fitting faces with designer frames and lenses that enable eyes to see near, far, and that distance in the middle where cars are.

He is a Naturalist. He has lost his license twice. Once being because one of his patients mother developed Herpes and didnt want to see her own doctor so he writes a prescription out to the child instead. Who does that. My child will not be using this Dr even if it is a last resort.
When Newnan Pedicatrics let me down, didn't worry about my child, improper diagnosis and then didn't allow me to see another dr. in the office for a second opinion, I feel like that all that happened to bring me to Dr, Whipple who is amazing! I can't say enough about how wonderful he was to me and my daughter.
When Moving from another State and trying to find a doctor.. It's very Painful. So Happy Doctor Whipple opened his own office. He is VERY Good with our children who have special needs. I have referred a few friends as well and they really like him ! The Staff is ALWAYS nice.. they NEVER Seem put out to help you !
Dr. Whipple has been our kids' Dr. since birth. He is very detailed and precise. He makes us feel comfortable and at ease. He is always prompt, attentive and does not rush us. He answers all the (many) questions we have had. He is an excellent Dr.
Easily the best Pediatrician in Newnan and surrounding areas.
Our daughter is Chinese Adopted and Dr. Whipple has seemed very abreast of developmental issues she might have encountered. His manner with her has always been great. He is never rushed our hurried during our visits and his staff is always kind and caring.
Moving from out of state and finding a doctor for you children isn't easy... My child is adopted though the state system.. If anyone knows about adoption though any state in the USA. they know they provide these children with insurance... and finding a good doctor that takes that insurance is hard !! Dr wipple is Wonderful. Kind and very understanding.
My daughter loved Dr. Whipple and Nurse Claudia from our first visit. SHe took to them from the start. They always answer our questions and fit us in during their busy times when the need warrants! All the doctors are good at Newnan Pediatrics. Dr. Whipple and Nurse Claudia though are our favorites! Sometimes the office staff isn't so great, but, if you can get past that, you will not be disappointed with the care you receive.
This office will make you wait forever, not helpful to work you in, not a good choice.
One of the most personable doctors I have taken my daughter to. She loves him! And he is very quick too....doen't make you wait forever! Nurses are excellent too :)

Firefighters find suspicious liquids inside burned home in north Houston
HOUSTON -- Firefighters found more than flames after an explosion sparked a fire that ripped through a Spring home and shocked neighbors.
The search is on for the people seen running from that home shortly after neighbors say they heard the explosion. HazMat crews were called to the house on Tall Tree Ridge Way after firefighters made a big discovery inside.
Neighbor Tim Mason recalled, "We heard a loud explosion probably 9:30, 9:20."
Mason who lives near the home says at first he didn't know what had happened, but soon realized a house just a few doors down was burning following an explosion.
"The next thing you know, we heard all the fire engines, fire trucks," Mason said. "We started noticing them getting closer and closer, and then they were on our street and we came outside."
According to the Harris County Fire Marshal's Office, the fire started around 9:30pm Tuesday. Heavy smoke and flames were coming from the back of the home when firefighters arrived.
After getting the fire under control, investigators learned the fire was suspicious. Several containers filled with liquid were removed, and determined to be water and fertilizer. Drugs were also found in the home.
"They did remove some narcotics out of the house, marijuana," a fire official on the scene said. "It appears from what I'm hearing from investigators who have been here all night that it looks like the house could have been being set to potentially grow marijuana."
Neighbors reported seeing several people running from the home after the fire started and added they have witnessed suspicious activity around the home for a while now.
"It's always been a fishy house, just got a bad feeling about it," Mason said. "Never really see the people that live there."
Investigators spent the morning trying to locate the person they believe the home was being rented to. So far, that person has not been located.
Firefighters worked overnight collecting evidence from inside the home so they can eventually pinpoint the exact cause of the fire and explosion. The house suffered from considerable damage.

Why The Athletics Are Making The Right Moves At The Right Time
I don't think any MLB team has been more interesting within the past 48 hours than the Oakland Athletics. The A's, who are coming off back-to-back ALDS Game 5 losses to the hands of Justin Verlander and the Detroit Tigers went on to take a different approach in this offseason.
