Clean apartments, pretty community, and ample parking. If you're looking for a place to lease in Encinitas, this is it. I spoke to Anne for 30 minutes and toured an apartment. Needless to say, I was impressed. After the showing I felt well-informed about the apartments and community. Any downsides or potential problems (of which there were very little) were outlined very clearly.

Moved in May 2011. Great management - Anne is super friendly and nice. Maintenance has been quick and responsive. Neighbors are mostly quiet with the occasional Friday/Saturday night party, which has never been a problem. Never seen a police car on site. Apartments are cute and well maintained. Other residents have been friendly and polite. The only reason this is not a 5 star review is that the parking is limited. Each apartment gets one assigned spot and one permit parking pass. Permit spots are limited and are fist come first serve. If you have more than two vehicles, this can be a problem as another reviewer pointed out. There are very few visitor parking spots, so if you plan to have several guests, they may have to be shuttled in.

I'm rating this a 4-star only because Anne is such an awesome office manager / landlady, and the maintenance staff does a great job when work orders are requested. Anne is super friendly and does what she can to make your renting experience as positive as possible. So as far as service is concerned, she goes above and beyond what is required of an apartment mgr and is truly concerned with each of her tenants' needs. Before I list the downsides, consider that this is an APARTMENT complex, and not a suburban neighborhood. If you have ever lived in an apt complex, then you have to take what comes with living in an apartment: smaller space, you can hear your neighbors' intimate lives when your windows are open, parking is an issue during certain holidays when people might be having friends over (altho' every apt gets 1 assigned spot), and certain types of people that you might not want for neighbors. This is a VERY pet-friendly complex, so if you are sensitive to dogs barking and poop along the walkway, then you might want to look elsewhere; if you have a pet, you might really like it here. The public areas (laundry room, pool/spa, workout room) are well-maintained and clean. I see a grounds keeper most mornings cleaning the pool area. Since I haven't lived in an "apartment complex" for over 16 years (for a reason), i don't have much to compare to, but as far as living conditions go, this place is fairly decent, again only due to the management. There are cases of bad neighbors that are too loud, dogs barking, etc., but i can only speak for my area of the complex. i believe there are 120 units in this entire lot. There are silverfish and spiders every so often, but we area also surrounded by trees. We didn't experience termite issues. My preference is to not live in an apartment complex at all, but if we needed to move back into apartments and didn't need more space, we'd consider QP, really because Anne is an aweseome manager! (This was not endorsed by Anne or Quail Pointe! She is a really great person who cares about her tenants!)

Unless you are section 8 and used to lower quality living and Domestic Violence stay away from this place. There is a group of homeless men that are friends with one of the tenants. They get insanely drunk 5 nights a week and scream, fight and throw bottles in the parking lot. This has been going on for about 2 years. Managment & police refuse to do anything about the situation. If you are considering this place do some investigation and check the reports with the local sheriff. Police are called to Quail point at least 3 times a week for a Domestic Violence dispute. Besides all of the public disturbances the apartments are dirty, bug & rodent infested, and maintenance takes weeks to fix anything. I didn't think there was a ghetto in Encinitas but there is right here at Quail Point! Hands down the worst place I have ever lived in my life and I wouldn't wish this experience upon anyone.

BOSTON – Koji Uehara wasn't Boston's first choice to be its closer this season.
Or the second.
The 38-year-old right-hander got the job after neither Joel Hanrahan nor Andrew Bailey lasted. Uehara was setting up for them before he inherited the ninth-inning role in late June, and by October he was voted most valuable player of the AL Championship Series.
"All I can say is that I'm extremely, extremely happy right now," Uehara said after the Red Sox beat the Detroit Tigers 5-2 in Game 6 of the ALCS on Saturday night to advance to the World Series against St. Louis.

Uehara pitched a scoreless ninth in the clincher, giving him three saves and a victory in the ALCS. After converting 21 of 24 save opportunities in the regular season with a 1.09 earned-run average, he is five of five while allowing one run in nine innings in the playoffs.
Since giving up a game-ending homer to Tampa Bay's Jose Lobaton in Game 3 of the ALDS, Uehara has allowed zero runs, four hits and no walks in 71
3 innings. He pitched a perfect ninth in the Game 2 victory over the Tigers, got four outs for the save in the third game, retired five in a row in Game 5 and closed out the ALCS with another scoreless inning.
"We knew he was going to be a key contributor toward the back end of the bullpen," manager John Farrell said last week. "His track record indicates that. … And I keep going back to the fact that he's not doing something this year that is so out of the norm for him. He's been a very successful pitcher, whether it's been in Japan or here. But the fact he's the closer here, he's gained the notoriety that he deserves."
• St. Louis cleanup hitter Allen Craig, out since Sept. 4 with a sprained left foot, said he has recovered and is ready to be put on the World Series roster.
• Detroit first baseman Prince Fielder hit .225 (9 for 40) with no homers or RBI in 11 playoff games. Asked whether it was tough knowing the Tigers wouldn't be in a Game 7 against Boston, Fielder said, "It's not really tough, man. For me, it's over. I got kids I gotta take care of, I got things to take care of. For me, it's over, bro."
Told some fans might not understand how he could get over the ALCS setback so quickly, Fielder said, "Because they don't play."
As for other people's expectations, he said, "If you try to live up to other people's expectations, you're not going to be a very happy person."

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A former investment banker serving prison time for a New Jersey fraud scheme said he helped arrange and disguise a $50,000 bribe to former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin.
Clad in an orange prison jumpsuit, Michael McGrath told jurors the 2008 bribe was funneled through his daughter's trust account. He said it was in return for the mayor backing projects of interest to a company called Home Solutions. McGrath's testimony Monday backed up earlier testimony from Frank Fradella, the former Home Solutions chief executive.
McGrath was a board member for Home Solutions. His New Jersey conviction is unrelated to the Nagin case.
Nagin's trial on 21 criminal counts stems from his two terms as mayor that ended in 2010. The trial is expected to last into next week.

Decorated Gymnasts Named Assistant Coaches
AMES, Iowa - Iowa State gymnastics coach Jay Ronayne announced the hiring of Kristen Maloney and Katie Minasola, a pair that will bring a wealth of experience to the Cyclones.
Maloney, a former NCAA national champion at UCLA and a member of the 2000 USA bronze-medal winning Olympic squad in Sydney, Australia, comes to Iowa State after a year as an assistant coach at New Hampshire. Minasola joins the Cyclones after seven years as an assistant at Michigan State and a decorated career as a gymnast. Minasola helped lead Michigan State to the best finish in school history at the NCAA Regionals.
""They both bring a wealth of experiences with them to Iowa State," Ronayne said. "As athletes, they were both very, very successful at the International Elite level and in the NCAA, which will instantly bring them credibility with the team. As coaches, they bring a youthful enthusiasm and positive energy to the gym. I feel their personalities are the perfect fit for the Cyclones and their influence will be felt immediately."
Maloney won a pair of individual NCAA national titles (vault and beam) and three team titles during her time at UCLA. She racked up nine All-America honors and was the 2005 Pac-10 and NCAA West Regional Gymnast of the Year. The Pen Argyl, Pa., native was the first Bruin to register a perfect 10.0 on all four events during collegiate career. Prior to arriving at UCLA, Maloney was a member of the United States national team from 1994-2000. From 1998-2000 Maloney won four national championships (all-around, all-around, vault and floor), and was tabbed the 1998 USA Gymnastics Sportswoman of the Year. She would later win the gold medal on beam at the 1998 Goodwill Games.
""Although Kristin has only coached one year in the NCAA, she has an amazing resume," Ronayne said. "Sharing what she has learned through her experiences with the U.S. Olympic Team, club coaching and being an NCAA champion on the UCLA team will help us be a better team. Her recruiting contacts also make her an extremely valuable addition to our staff."
Minasola was an assistant coach and led the recruiting efforts for Michigan State. Prior to joining the coaching ranks, Minasola had a stellar competitive career that included tying the University of Massachusetts school records on bars (9.950) and beam (9.925) in her freshman campaign. She would later go on to set the UMass record on bars (9.975) and win the Atlantic 10 Conference bars crown. Prior to her senior season, Minasola transferred to Central Michigan where she set the program mark on bars, going a perfect 10.0 on the apparatus on pair of occasions. Minasola won a regional crown on bars during her senior campaign to qualify for the NCAA national championships.
""I have watched Katie grow as a coach over the past six or seven years and I can't wait for her to start working with my team," Ronayne said. "She is a very knowledgeable coach who also has the rare ability to connect with a student-athlete on many levels. She has a very positive coaching style which falls right in line with the way we operate in our gym."
Before her collegiate career, Minasola was a top junior gymnast. She won the balance beam national title at the 1993 Junior Olympic national championships as well as the all-around crown. She would later win the all-around crowns at both the U.S. Classic and American Classic/World Championship trials in the junior division. In 1995, Minasola was a member of the gold-medaling winning U.S. team at the Pan American Games in Mar del Plata, Argentina. In 1996, Minasola placed eighth in the all-around at the U.S. Olympic Trials which afforded her the opportunity to be an alternate for the 1996 U.S. Olympic team in Atlanta, Ga.

The Bantams travel to face their Premier League opponents with a two-goal aggregate lead to protect, and Al Hain-Cole expects their resilience to carry them through to the finalDespite the euphoria of their 3-1 first leg win at Valley Parade, Bradford know that the job of reaching their first major final in 100 years is only half done.
Phil Parkinson's men must first attempt to protect their two-goal aggregate lead on Aston Villa's turf before they can start booking their tickets for Wembley.
Paul Lambert believes that a vociferous Villa Park crowd will help to inspire his side to victory, and Coral agree, listing the hosts as 2/5 (1.40) favourites to come out on top.
The Bantams have not won any of their last five matches on the road, but you can get odds of 13/2 (7.50) on them pulling off yet another shock Capital One Cup victory.
The League Two side have squeezed through the previous two rounds by securing hard-fought draws against Wigan and Arsenal in normal time, and they would be delighted with another stalemate in this match, at odds of 7/2 (4.50).
Those two draws against Premier League opposition prove that the visitors are more than capable of playing with their backs to the wall, and suggest that they will not give up their aggregate lead lightly.
With the bit between their teeth, the Yorkshiremen can be expected to frustrate a team that have only won four games by a two-goal score-line in 29 attempts this season, meaning a place is the final is there for the taking.
Considering Villa's defensive fragility makes them unlikely to keep a clean sheet, it seems safe to back the underdogs to secure the necessary result to ensure qualification, at odds of 4/5 (1.80).
The Villans' best chances of overturning the deficit rest mainly on the broad shoulders of Christian Benteke, who has been one of the few bright sparks of a disappointing season.
The Belgium international is central to all of the hosts' attacking play, and with three strikes in four Capital One Cup ties to his name, he is well worth backing at 3/1 (4.00) to grab the first goal at longer odds.
|Bradford to qualify at 4/5 (1.80) with Coral
|Christian Benteke to score first at 3/1 (4.00) with Coral

Last call for seasonal hospitality
Paul Lambert's men are looking to build on their near-perfect start to the 2014-2015 season and you can back them in style.
Villa have always been renowned for the quality of their hospitality and it's not too late to become an executive member and take up our fantastic seasonal membership or box packages.
Unbeaten at home and on the road, the boys from B6 now face Arsenal in their next home game on September 20 in a mouth-watering Barclays Premier League tie.
Kicking-off with the game against the Gunners, seasonal members are entitled to a plethora of behind-the-scenes opportunities including Breakfast and Bodymoor, a complimentary meal for two at the stadium's VMF restaurant and tickets to a Christmas party or Villa event of your choice.
What's more, sustainability and community remain at the heart of what we do.
The majority of our soft fruit, vegetables and herbs are grown on a 4,000 square metre allotment site located just a mile away from Villa Park and local youngsters also play a vital role in the process.
Over the past year, 80 Birmingham teenagers have been involved in the allotment project and many of those are now employed at Villa Park on matchdays.
The hard work that goes on behind the scenes to deliver an outstanding matchday experience to our valued members and boxholders has been highlighted by numerous awards that we have won for our unrivalled quality hospitality.
At The Stadium Events & Hospitality Awards in June, we notched a bronze in the Media Choice category where the catering on offer to the matchday press is judged.
We also won a bronze award in the Conference & Events/ Sales & Marketing category - where a mystery telephone shopper gives feedback.
Anyone who joins later in the year will be charged on a pro-rata basis. Cancellation terms apply. Terms and conditions are available on request.
To find out more please call 0800 612 0960 (option 1) or visit our hospitality website.

I still like starting a project where I don't really know what's going on and dig deeper and learn how to do things as I go along. Until now I've always finished projects in time and got things working. Maybe it's the challenge that makes the outcome even more rewarding…
Please give us a brief bio of yourself.
I'm a 30 year old coding designer, currently working at Feinheit GmbH in Zürich as an interactive art director, frontend-developer and creative coder, designing and making sites and applications.
Most of the time in my life I've been working as a freelancer, and I still kinda am. Working by myself is a great experience up to a certain point, I enjoy being self-responsible and independent. But to solve bigger projects in a certain time frame it's pretty good to have a team around you to exchange expertise and ideas. Here at Feinheit we have a great bunch of project managers, creatives, designers/illustrators and coders to work with and realise big and exciting projects. And we even find the time to work on inhouse projects like feinCMS, Metronom and lately Pingwin, where I was involved a lot and which won us a mobile FWA award.
What do you do for inspiration?
Looking at some of my favorite websites sometimes in a manic ramp until the dots connect. But it's also very necessary to go out and look at what the world offers right in that moment. Let my mind drift off. It's also quite important to talk to people and connect, which can be very inspiring and lead to crazy innovations.
Please list 3 of your favourite sites.
That would be CreativeApplications.Net as it has so many inspiring projects, the Flipboard App, I know it's not a website, but I look at it at least once a day and it's such a smooth way of reading feeds, and thecreatorsproject
What do you regard as being your biggest achievement?
Being able to teach myself. When I really want to do something, I just go for it and find out how to do it. Actually coming from a graphic design background I was interested in programming and Flash coding so I just taught myself how to do it and kept going.
So the biggest achievements are always the new projects I just finished. Like right now - its Pingwin!
How many hours do you work each week?
I work 40-45 hours, and try to keep extra hours to a minimum. I think a lot of work is actually done by not physically working but letting your brain shift around and come back to the project with a fresh perspective. But I am always juggling between work and my own side projects. There is so much I want to explore.
How do you relax or unwind?
I go bouldering, that frees my mind. Physical exercise can be magical after sitting on the computer all day. Bouldering challenges you every time and you can be outdoors if you want. I like that. Also I can't help it but coding, mainly iOS and openFrameworks at the moment, can be really relaxing sometimes.
If you weren't working on the internet what would you be doing?
Well, probably I'd be a carpenter living in a small cabin by the ocean going surfing every day. But since computers and the internet do exist, it's like a provocation to me. I want to find out what's possible and play around in the digital world. I might become a carpenter when I am old and move back to the sea.
What's your favourite part of your job? What's the hardest part of your job? What do you do when you get stuck?
It's so rewarding to actually tackle a problem, when all the pieces come together into a final product. Repeat the same task one time too often and you get stuck. That's when I love the place I am in, being able to shift between design and code. Which on one side is very confusing some days, but it also keeps things interesting and gives me the possibility to look at things from different perspectives. The only thing that really helps if I do get stuck, is to step away, loosen the narrow focus of the brain. But getting to the point to realise that is a challenge every time…
If there are any pivotal experiences/decisions you could point to that helped shape your career, what would they be?
I learned Flash back then by saying yes to a lot of projects, without actually knowing how to solve them. But as I knew someone else sure did, I knew it was possible. This way I learnt heaps.
I still like starting a project where I don't really know what's going on and dig deeper and learn how to do things as I go along. Until now I've always finished projects in time and got things working. Maybe it's the challenge that makes the outcome even more rewarding… Yes, I think this approach to tackle projects is what probably got me to where I am today.
How many projects does your company juggle at any one time?
That varies, at Feinheit we work in 3 teams and each team has its own focus and projects. Depending on the size and timeframe of projects, the number of projects at one time ranges between 1-12 per team. Usually there are a few bigger projects, some smaller ones, and several long term projects.
In terms of software, is there anything new you have been playing with lately or that has impressed you?
For Pingwin I really enjoyed using the Sparrow-Framework, coming from Flash it was very easy to get into to the Objective-C part using the Flash style syntax. It's quite interesting to see how the Starling-Framework, which is a Flash port of Sparrow, develops and how it will be using the two.
Who do you rate as being the top 3 design companies?
That's a tough question, there are so many different agencies and as many different styles. But to name a few – I enjoy projects by North Kingdom, Hi-Res!, iA, Hinderling Volkart, Resn and the list goes on…
Who is your target audience?
Everyone who wants to involve, mobilise and inspire her or his audience.
Are there any websites that have shone through as being pioneering in the last 5 years or so?
Definitely RO.ME which was quite mind-blowing. But there a so many great things popping up at the moment.
Has winning FWA awards helped you in any way?
It sure did, I won a mobile FWA for Muffin-Pop, a simple game based on some illustrations I made, and the award was quite a traffic boost. It's also a very comforting feedback.
What was the toughest thing you ever did with Flash? How long did you spend on it? Is it still online?
I build a 3D flipbook-style magazine with papervision3D, including video, images gallery and and and. Unfortunately it never saw the light of day, as it was for a project under NDA and just before it was about to launch the iPad came out. So they decided to focus on that. But I still think it's a great project, and it was a lot of fun getting it to work.
Do you think Flash is here to stay?
It has and still will have its place in the web, but its appearance will keep on decreasing due to the capabilities of html5 and modern browsers. But with the turn to mobile devices and AIR apps it will definitely stay around. I think it's a lot a fun coding in Flash and I am looking forward to the next news from Adobe.
What are your views on design/graphic school. Do you think someone can get into the field without educational experience in a school environment?
I am mainly self taught, due to being interested and just wanting to explore. There sure are a few things that are good to learn/know through an educational institution, though I missed the practical experience a lot, which in the end for me is the only way to learn. But fortunately there are some universities and schools that focus on the latter.
How do you keep your finger on the pulse of the latest web trends?
Twitter and Feeds, at the moment I feel like I've quite the right set of people to follow and blogs to read.
What does the future hold for your company, or you as a person?
I'd really like to build more physical objects and installations, using openFrameworks and Arduino. Even though I don't know how to yet, as time is limited, but I am pretty sure I will one day. Building things with my hands is something I enjoy and being able to connect this with programming and the digital domain is what really sparks my interest.
For Feinheit it has been an exciting year and work is becoming more exciting by the week - with social media gaining more momentum and with millions of new online-ideas being thought out every day out there, we are having a lot of fun exploring this growing world of opportunities and experiences for our clients.
What are you excited about learning next and is there a long term challenge you are considering tackling?
I hope to find the time to dig deeper into openFrameworks, c++ and Arduino. Also, as I just explained, moving from the online world into the world of physical objects is one of my current goals.
What is the most expensive thing you have bought in the last week?
I actually just got myself a new macbook air – and it's sooo damn light.
Any parting shots or pearls of wisdom?
'He who knows all the answers has not been asked all the questions.'
― Confucius
It has been a privilege, thanks very much
Thanks to you!

Oral Quickies
We no longer link to this site.
We no longer link to this site.
Sometimes a guy just doesn't feel like doing any work and he just wants to lay back and get his cock sucked and go on with his day. The next best thing is, of course, kicking back with a few great movies depicting your favorite fantasy. At Oral Quickies, fast face fucks on the fly are exactly the service they provide. Although the guys in the scene aren't just laying back and getting their cocks blown, they are actively throat fucking these eager babes.
OralQuickies is a blowjob site and deeply probes this particular action. Some scenes begin with a very short interview and others open up on a chick stripping or jumping right on a cock. Either way, the majority of the flick is spent watching some stunner get her face fucked, gag and take a wet, nasty finish.
There are 95 movies available so far. Each flick is comes with series of 10 clips and a full-length version of the scene. You used to get one full scene every week, but there have been no new additions since February 2010. What you do get however, are stellar-quality Windows Media and MP4 files, but only with the most recent updates. The older scenes still give you good-quality playback, though.
Not all of the movies come with high-res photo sets. Some of the older videos are accompanied only by vid caps, but you do get 78 photo galleries that can be downloaded in Zip files. However, the sets contain an average of 20 pics each, which isn't very impressive.
Your membership also includes access to 50 other sites covering a variety of smutty niches, from anal and blondes to lesbians and creampies. You'll get access to a 30 sites right away and 10 more are added over the course of two months. Sites include Creampie Reality, Playful Hands, Teach Me Fisting and Deepthroat Frenzy. They have all been nicely redesigned like this one has.
Even with a lack of recent updates,Oral Quickies is still worth signing up for, especially since you'll find some theme-related bonus sites. If the site does resume updating and maintains the same quality of content, blowjob fans will certainly remain loyal members.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

The Journey of a thousand miles start with taking the first step…that's what is most important in undertaking any adventure.
This analogy maybe compare to the ever evolving world of search engine optimization for starters becoming professionals. While the task, steps or whatever needed to achieve better search engine visibility maybe overwhelming – this can never be achieved without taking the first steps.
While everything – the art and science – about searching engine optimization best practices seems to be changing and adapting itself to the continual algorithm changes, updates and very deep complex of Google and other major search engines, the rules are not created in a day.
This makes it a bit difficult to predicts which leading industry best practices will eventually lift your business above your competitors and making sure your web pages always hit the first pages of SERP.
But following from experience and some other factors – we do know that there are some little things that can be done to enhance your website popularity, quality targeted traffic, search ranking and in return boost revenue on a consistent cost-effective basis.
Social media has become part of our today's SEO strategies and the good news for entrepreneur looking to leverage on social media strategies to boost SEO and their search organic traffic is that there are marketing tactics that never consider spamming or out of favor. These are considered as one of industry best practices and never seem to be out of practices in long distance.
The era of relying "ONLY" on quality content and inbound links seems to be decline as fast as I know. If you want more better result from your online business, then is obvious you'll need look more closer at how social media influence these result and most especially – organic search traffic.
Though, Google as come out on many occasion to defend this claim that social signal do not affect search ranking. But from what I can tell…..social signal do affect organic search traffic.
That's a discussion for another day!
Lets move on with how social media strategies can boost your organic SEO efforts.
1. Quality Content.
There is no and I don't think there will ever be a or any substitute for this.
Quality content is the beginning of marketing strategy in internet marketing; if you can produce high relevant quality information that solves users needs and wants, then the battle to win over your potential customers is already half way won.
And not only that, but you have also set a good foundation to a better search engine optimization process.
Here is a good post I write not too long ago that deals with how to improve your writing skills.
2. Use Paid Social Advertisement.
This one tricky and debatable – but from experience I'm saying this.
Each time I run an ads campaign on Facebook that has a positive result, I see a slightly increase in my organic traffic from Google search engine. Reason I don't know or understand why this have to be so – something am still trying to figure out why and what might be the cause.
And also, I have come across other marketers sharing their experience on this too. Maybe you test it out yourself and see what result you get.
3. Make Social Sharing Easy.
Your blog post is not the only place to include your social sharing buttons.
Include them in your email newsletters and if possible in all out going promotional messages that goes out on behalf of your brand name. This helps to make your content reach more people who you can't possibly reach and increase your opt-in rate.
At the end of each blog post , kindly ask for social share like I would also be glad to see you share this post on your different social networking sites. Here is a post by Ian Cleary of RazorSocial that writes on how to make it easy to have your audience sharing your quality content and effective tools you can use to ease the task of content sharing.
4. Be Active.
Yes, without been active on social media it could be a daunting task to command the attention of your potential customers. If you don't have all the time in this world to spend on your social activities, you can out source it to visual assistance or get someone from places like fiverr, odesk etc to do it for you.
Not everyone has the time to hang around in these social media places, but their importance to online marketing could make us rethink in our time management.
Use Google Authorship.
*Updated* Google Authorship no longer exist, so ignore this section.
Simply put – put your face to your work!
That's how I see the reason behind Google Authorship verification process. Authorship is one the best features of Google+ and it not only impact your SEO ranking but also helps in increasing click-through rate.
Lets assume you search for a particular keyword phrase and it happen that you're in my Google+ circle, Facebook friends or wherever and this picture of mine stand by one of the result linking back to my web page…
you definitely might want to check out what your friend have to say to you – and that help me gain more click-through rate. There is a small piece of code (rel=author) that you'll need to copy and paste into your web pages to allow your profile picture stand next to your listing in Google search.
If you click on the name of the author that appear on the search result, this will take you to the Google+ page of that author which may result in joining his circle. The power of images can do a lot here too and make the difference in click-through rate as searchers may likely click on the result with author's image stand next to it than the one without author image in the result.
To add (rel=author) code and claim Google authorship for your published content read this post from socialmediaexaminer that gives you a very comprehensive details on all you need to know about Google authorship.
These are just five and not in any way a conclusive list of social media strategies to boost SEO efforts; I'll be glad if you can include your in the comment box below so we can both keep updating this post with fresh relevant point that help users make the most inform decision.

This isn't meant to be my life story, and I don't know if anyone will find this interesting. Basically, this is just a light overview of my professional career. If you are interested in contacting me about employment, I recommend grabbing my resume and sending me an email.
I've been writing software since I was in grade school, around age 12, BASIC for Apple IIe's. I wasn't hooked right away, it took a couple years. I started doing LOGO for one of my classes, and then did a little more BASIC, and ended up with a Tandy Pocket Computer (a PC-4 and then a PC-8). With only around 2K of memory, I quickly taught myself to convert programs that were much larger in the BASIC games books.
I spent most of my free time in high school learning how to write code in BASIC, then Pascal and C. I won the computer science portion of my high school's science fair when I was a junior. I participated in ACSL, and had one of my programs published my senior year in their newsletter (only 5 other people had even submitted a working program for that round, opposed to the hundreds they usually received). I scored 39 out of a possible 40 points in the ACSL competition my senior year of high school. I had my first exposure to graphic design and hypertext in high school, working with the Macintosh SE/30's the school lab had.
I attended Fitchburg State College with a Presidential Scholarship. My course work focused on embedded systems, I learned more about Assembly, and took a lot of electrical classes. This is where I was first exposed to the Internet, with Telnet, FTP and Gopher. When I first saw Lynx, I thought it was a little kludgy compared to the more elegant layout of Gopher. Of course when I got to see Mosaic during my last year of college (fall of 1994) I found the web was far more interesting than Gopher!
My first job after college, was for Racal-Datacom. I got to do some interesting work on networking equipment, writing code in C. I also got to create a small demo website for a new product the company was trying to sell to the telephone companies, a precursor to ASDL. Unfortunately the company didn't think there was a big enough market for it (yikes!) and soon after, the division I worked for experienced a large layoff, and the company begun closing various divisions. The demo website was enough to motivate me into setting up a personal website of my own.
I went to work for a company in Waltham, writing code for a medical laser, used for treating Myopia (Laser Vision Correction Surgery). It was an embedded 80186 with a simple one line display. It was a company that had moved past it's start up roots, but was still very busy for an engineer. Deadlines were tight, and the software team was small (two developers and two SQA engineers). I got to work on some neat little side projects in the company, like a small box that converted I2C to RS-232, and then write a Visual Basic program to display information from the serial port. I also continued to work on my website in my spare time, which had grown from a dozen pages to about 100. I had been mentioned in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and some radio stations.
At SieraCom I did work in C and Assembler for a modem board on a microwave radio. Meanwhile, I began writing PERL code for my websites, and increasing the size of the websites.
The next job didn't last long, but for more positive reasons. I began accepting banners for my websites, and it turns out with the amount of traffic I was getting, I could make almost enough money that I didn't need to work a full time job. Since this was the height of the dot com boom I figured I'd leave my job and focus on developing my own websites. I branched out and created a few more websites (70s and 90s sites to complement my 80s site, and amiright to house my ever growing misheard lyrics collection). After a few months of working at home, I began to realize I was less interested in working by myself than I had thought, and decided it was time to return to the work force.
I worked for a company called onExchange which develops financial software for trading exchanges. I was assigned to work on the end user GUI, and given free reign to shape it how I felt it should look. I gathered feedback from members of the executive staff who knew how futures and commodities exchanges worked, so I wasn't working in a vacuum. Meanwhile, the dot com bubble had burst and my websites became a hobby once again. As the company grew I began to focus more on the implementation details of the system, and less on the design as that task was handed over to a usability expert but I was still able to have interesting discussions on how things worked in the system. I was laid off from onExchange in the spring of 2003.
I began working for SAIC in the fall of 2004, as the only software engineer on staff at the Southbridge location. Initially I worked on some projects programming in Visual BASIC, ASP, and HTML, Javascript. I also completed my Graphic Design certificate program at Assumption College not long after I started working for SAIC. I also developed an ASP.NET and C# portal for our development team with a little AJAX thrown in as well.
I worked for Cithaeron Partners, a division of Cantor Fitzgerald on a project called Cantor Exchange. I was the sole engineer responsible for the front end trading interface in FLEX and a browser based PHP reporting & funding tool as well as a user registration site.
My current job is for CVS Caremark as a Senior UI/UX developer. More details to come later.

In response to passfirst's comment:
I watched the second half last night and I just want to say that Jason Terry stinks and hurts the team when he's on the floor. And I'm sick of everyone giving him a pass because he's a cool team-mate.
Barbosa is better in every way, defense, slashing to the hoop, making cuts without the ball, running. When he looked better than Terry hitting the corner three last night, I realized he's an across the board better player. No way Terry should get minutes over Barbosa, it should be Barbosa and Lee to come in for AB and Rondo.
Terry is a poor man's Eddie House
JT is a good player and better than House.
He'll recover.

|Overall, I would take this phone over the Droid. I think that the form factor, and Sense UI really help for the consumer. I think that the Droid.

I'm doing Tour de Wyoming this week. Constant pedaling. Most grades are 1-4%. I've done more pedaling in this tour than any other due to the terrain.
Even with the thousands of miles I ride I still have to concentrate on my pedaling stroke.
What I've observed over 400 miles this week is that if I concentrate on spinni g all the way around I can increase my speed 1/2-1 mph. If I go from riding on the hoods to the drops I can increase my speed another 1/2 mph.
This is on flattish terrain and keeping the heart rate pretty constant.
The longer I ride the more concentration is key.

The West Valley Youth Orchestra entertained concertgoers in Avondale on Saturday, tuning up for its biggest concert at Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles on Friday.
West Valley Youth Orchestra plays in Avondale
The Avondale-based orchestra is participating in the West Coast Youth Orchestra Festival, which is sponsored by Tempe-based Music Celebrations International. The festival brings together outstanding youth orchestras from the western U.S. to perform in a world-class concert venue.
The West Valley Youth Orchestra is the only Arizona group that will participate in Friday's festival, said Claire Gordon, musical director and conductor of the orchestra. She said it is the biggest, most prestigious event the orchestra has participated in yet.
Saturday, about 50 people attended the concert at Avondale City Hall, which is the first time such an event has been there.
"Basically the timing of performing this concert in Avondale is like a send-off concert and last concert here before they go and play in Walt Disney Concert Hall in LA," Gordon said. "So that's really exciting for us. It's the first time that we have gone on a trip out of state to perform."
Most of the proceeds from the concert sponsored by Avondale went to help the orchestra fund its trip to California and to Avondale's Youth Advisory Commission.
"We're just finishing our 15th year," Gordon said of the West Valley Youth Orchestra, which was founded in 1997. "The orchestra was founded to fill the void left by the public schools. Especially at that time, most of the public schools in the West Valley did not have string programs."
Students who participate in the West Valley Youth Orchestra and its orchestra in training for novice musicians, called Cadet Strings, range from 7 to 19 years old and come from all over the West Valley, including Avondale, Goodyear, Surprise, Litchfield Park, Glendale, Peoria, Buckeye and Phoenix.
There are about 65 participants: 25 in the Cadet Strings and 40 in the actual orchestra.
"One of the really neat things about our youth orchestra is that we also have a few adult musicians who come and play each week with the students, and they sort of mentor," Gordon said. "They help out, but they just enjoy playing the music as well."
The orchestra has performed in high-school auditoriums, churches and other venues, including the Challenger Space Center in Peoria, where "the acoustics are pretty good," Gordon said.
Avondale hosted the concert Saturday, titled "Children At Play; An Evening at the Symphony" in its 300-seat City Council Chambers, 11465 W. Civic Center Drive.
The evening's repertoire included Johann Sebastian Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor; Franz Joseph Haydn's Symphony No. 94; a medley from Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Phantom of the Opera"; and Claude Debussy's "Clair de Lune."
Those are all songs the orchestra will perform at the festival at Walt Disney Concert Hall.
"The value is that they learn to play as a group, so basically they learn teamwork and they learn to play musically," Gordon said. "There's only so much you can do by yourself. It's just like a sport. You can practice shooting hoops or whatever, batting, catching, but the fun of it really comes when you play as a team.
"Most of the kids would tell you the sound they experience playing in an orchestra and hearing all of the other instruments around them in combination is just a really moving experience. It's unforgettable."
In addition to the pleasure and enjoyment of music, discipline and commitment are required, Gordon said.
The members undergo a two-hour rehearsal every week in which close attention must be paid to the musical arts.
"They have to learn to watch the conductor," Gordon said. "They have to learn to play loud at times and soft at other times, and then there is the experience of performing, too, of learning to put out a polished product, to have something ready for the public to enjoy listening to."
Hayden Oliver, 17, is the orchestra's concert master.
The Peoria resident has been playing musical instruments since he was 5 years old. Playing in an orchestra is challenging, he said.
"When you are playing in a group, you have to really be able to focus on being able to make your own sound mesh with the rest of the orchestra," he said. "When you play solo, it's just you, and you can express yourself in any way you want. When you are in an orchestra, you have to make sure everybody is playing the same way. Otherwise, it's going to sound a little off. You have to make sure you're not rushing and pushing the tempo."
He said he enjoys entertaining crowds, but he hasn't played in a venue such as the Walt Disney Concert Hall, which seats 2,265 people.
"This season we've done a lot of performing at retirement communities," Oliver said. "The Walt Disney trip is going to be the first concert of the season where it's going to be really big. I feel like we're ready. We've been playing really well the past couple of weeks. Everybody is excited to go."

On one of the posts elsewhere on TSR, it states that languages is the only field in which an A* can only be achieved if a candidate has raw talent for the subject. What do you think? Can A* be achieved if a candidate works hard enough (which is obviously very very very hard), memorising vocab, drilling in grammar, and the like? Or can A* only be achieved if one has the flair and the raw talent, as languages can be seen by some as unique as a field of academic study?

Can A* be achieved in language A Levels just by learning?

It is possible to do anything. Just work your socks off and hard work is rewarded.
I think that if you work hard enough it will surely show in your exams, just as in any other subject, obviously if your vocab, grammar and accuracy are perfect then they can't fairly mark you down.

I'm aiming for an A* in German, and I've worked out I might only need 120 UMS points on my final exam to get it, which I've achieved in mocks before.
I also heard it's only natives who get A*s, but my teacher said it's possible for anyone if they put the effort in. Then again my Spanish teacher told me that next to physics, languages are the hardest subjects to get an A in. Not sure how true that is but I think people who don't do MFL don't realise how tough it is!
Practice essays as much as you can, and grammar and vocab can obviously be learnt. I guess the natural flair would come in when a word comes up which wasn't on your vocab list and which you have to make an educated guess on, but other than that I don't see how it couldn't be possible!
