I always wonder if slimming pants really does its job to make you sweat more and turn you one size smaller?
Not until i try on Panaz Slimming Pants. In fact, the name Panaz is originated from the local language (Malay) - "Panas" that indicates hot. I like that it is suitable to wear anytime, anywhere, and most importantly it is designed for everyone!
Here's my Panaz Slimming Pants:
It is recommended to wear Panaz Slimming Pants for 3-5 hours everyday for better results. You don't need to worry about the size because the pants is available from S - 4XL (even for plus size). It would be great if you are able to track your waist and hip measurement every 2 weeks to check the results. It will be very exciting to see the positive results!One great part about the pants is that the fabrics/ material of the pants are thinner engineered and is suitable to wear even under the hot weather in Malaysia.
Wash-Care Instruction:
✔ Hang to Dry
✔ Hand Wash
❌ Do not use washing machine
❌ Do not soak
❌ Do not wring
❌ Do not iron
❌ Do not use dryer
❌ Do not bleach
My thoughts:
To my surprise that the pants really did its job to make me sweat a lot without me realizing it. I wore it for 5 minutes and I am not even doing any activities (just sitting down and chit chatting) I was already sweating all over my lower body. I felt comfortable at all time, even though my legs, thighs, lower stomach were already sweating. I guess the inner materials of the pants really absorb the sweat well. I like that the pants is really stretchable and it even covers up until my stomach area! I also like that there are pockets available to fit my phone while doing any activities.
One thing that i dislike about this pants was that it has a really strong unpleasant smell that you might need to hand wash a couple times to get rid. Other than that, I would recommend it to my friends and family members.
More details:
Price: RM 149.00

Hope you enjoy wearing Panaz Slimming Pants!

On the court, Paul Pierce is already getting comfortable in Brooklyn. He helped beat Miami, scoring 19 points and coming up with a huge block on LeBron James. Then he took it back with a sick crossover and dunk in Orlando. Although the Nets dropped that one to the Magic, Pierce is still shooting an otherworldly 55 percent this season… and has yet to miss a free throw.
Off the court, thanks to American Express, we're also seeing the Truth getting comfortable with the people too. Whether it's getting great food, talking to the fans or going bowling — it can't be a Pierce video without him doing a little bowling — Pierce is ready to embrace Brooklyn.
A 30-second "Hello Paul" clip will begin airing in-arena at the Barclays Center later this November.

The lovely little village of Stanford, with its welcoming ambience and pleasant residents, is beautifully complemented by its mild Mediterranean climate. This is why Stanford is the perfect countryside getaway for a happy holiday.
Located on the banks of the Klein River and sheltered by the Kleinriver Mountains, the village offers a spectacular showcase of colours when the seasons change across the landscapes. Summers are bright and sunny allowing for endless hours of exploring and soaking up the warmth of the African sun. Days carry an average temperature of 25°C in summer and never drop below 16°C in winter. The slightly chilly winter days are interspersed with rain showers that lends to the perfect excuse to stay at home and get cosy in front of the fire.
The easy weather seems to accompany the relaxed atmosphere of the village and makes for an enjoyable holiday whether in summer or in winter. Let the weather in Stanford show you its true colours in a kaleidoscope of colour and fun.

It's fun (and sort of crazy!) that Superbowl 50 is in our backyard, but don't forget that Valentine's Day next weekend! What are your plans?
Our Chocolate Hearts is the perfect dessert to split after your Valentine's Day meal. Inspired by our most popular cake, our Chocolate on Chocolate, we dressed it up with a drizzle of raspberry icing.
Another Valentine's Day exclusive is our mini heart-shaped cream puffs. Cute for an office party or just you favorite co-workers!
If you're in a sharing mood, we'll also be baking our Raspberry Sandwiches, Half Dips and Gingerbread cookies in heart shapes as well. Please pre-order, especially if you are thinking about large quantities!
Other great options include our Strawberry Mousse (available in indiivdual and 6" heart sizes) and Tiramisu Cheesecake.
Finally, if you have yet to try our Sweetheart Cake, you must try it sometime this month as it is a February exclusive. We take our famous Chocolate on Chocolate recipe and add raspbery jam in the middle, and decorate it with a Kirsch Cream Cheese frosting instead. Available in all sizes, including cupcakes!
Please place your orders no later than Thursday. Feel free to call our stores or check out our website if you have any questions.

The holiday season is upon us! This is our favorite time of the year for all the obvious reasons but it's also our busiest. Thanksgiving and Christmas go neck and neck for the busiest day of the year - but usually it's Thanksgiving that takes the win! It doesn't hurt that we have one of the best Pumpkin pies in the area either ;) (See our blog post post from last year).
That being said, it would be extremely helpful for us to have all your Thanksgiving orders in as soon as possible. Again, we always bake-to-order but it will help us enormously to have some sort of idea of what numbers we'll be baking this year. That way we can start properly preparing: ordering ingredients, supplies, etc.
To keep waste and therefore costs low, we will have very limited quantity of extras available on Thursday, at the locations that are open (Palo Alto will be closed). "Extras" meaning items that have not been pre-ordered or reserved but available to purchase at walk-in. We don't encourage this (since quantities are limited!) but understand that life is unexpected and you may need something at last minute. However, if you do know you need pies, cakes, dinner rolls or anything else we bake, please place an order no later than Monday, November 23rd. Of course, the sooner the better ;)
Wishing you and your family a wonderfully warm and happy Thanksgiving!

Don't forget to put your orders in for Passover! It is coming up next Friday, April 3rd. Last year we only received a handful of orders in advance, but had tons of you calling the morning of for cakes and cookies! Beause we didn't have notice, we ended up running out of items. We'd hate to turn you away so please, pre-order by calling in two days in advance - by Wednesday. Remember we bake everything fresh (never frozen!) so it's extremely hard for us to gauge how many of what we should be baking on Friday without pre-orders. We thank you in advance!
Even if you don't celebrate the holiday, I still encourage you to try the Passover-exclusive products because they are really that good. My favorite is the Strawberry Banana Cream - so good that I wish we had the cake year round. And of course, our Almond Macaroons.
The Strawberry Banana Cream is so full of flavor and very moist because the sponge itself is baked with fresh bananas. Then we fill the layers with fresh whipped cream, fresh strawberries and bananas.
The Chocolate Orange Passover cake can be prepared two ways. Either way this cake is gluten-free*, made instead with ground almonds and potato starch. We can prepare it as a torte, with just fresh fruit places on top, or as a cream cake where we cut layers, fill it and decorated with whipped cream all around.
In addition to Coconut Macaroons, we will also be baking Almond Macaroons: both almond and chocolate flavored. If you love almonds, these are not to miss!
Hope everyone has a great holiday and remember, please place your orders by Wednesday!
*Please note we bake in a facility that also processes flour, nuts and other allergens and cannot 100% guarantee no cross-contamination. If you are allergic, we do not recommend consuming our products.

Valentine's Day is only THREE days away! Make sure your pre-order your sweetheart's favorite chocolate goodies before Friday to have them guaranteed on Saturday!
Our Valentine's Day exclusive Chocolate Hearts are the most popular and will be the first to go on Saturday. It's basically your (and ours!) favorite chocolate cake, covered in chocolate icing, in the shape of the heart. Traditional, and elegant in it's simplicity.
If you're looking for something more special, try our Sweetheart Cakes. They are a February-exclusive and it's so good we get requests to do this cake year-round. Our famous chocolate cake with raspberry filling, decorated with our special Kirsch cream cheese frosting. Have you ever had Kirsch flavored cake icing? It might be our very best icing! See for yourself, but make sure it's before the end of February!
We're also making mini Cream Puff Hearts! Buy one, buy a dozen - hand them out to your co-workers and they will love you.
If your loved one isn't necessarily a chocolate fan, we will also be making Strawberry Mousse in individual and 6" heart sizes. Our Tiramisu Cheesecake is also available in a 6" heart shape. Both the Strawberry Mouse and Tiramisu Cheesecake are extremely limited in quantity, so don't wait to place your order if these are the items you're interested in.
And who needs chocolate candies when we have fresh baked cookies? We're making chocolate chip cookies in heart shapes, about 5" large, and can inscribe whatever you like. Kiss Me, I'm yours?
Lastly, we are making our Raspberry Sandwich and Half Dip cookies in heart shapes in two sizes: mini and regular. We'll also have Gingerbread available all week long!
Remember, to guarantee your items on Saturday, please place your order no later than Friday, before 2pm is preferred. Don't wait until the last minute because trust us, everyone else will and you might not get what your Valentine wants. Call us to preorder, it's easy!

Looking for a festive dessert that will impress your guests at your holiday dinner? Look no further.
Our Buche de Noels and Yule Logs are the perfect centerpieces to your dinner table. Edible art, even. And only made this time of year.
Completely hand crafted and made from scratch, these fun desserts are available in two sizes (small serving 6-8, large 14-16) and nine flavors. For those of us who can't get enough chocolate, I recommend ordering the Buche de Noel. Slightly higher in price but definitely more authentic looking if we're going to replicate a log. However, if you're not so big on chocolate or want to go with a cheaper option, the Yule Log is the exact same on the inside and decorated with whipped cream on the outside.
See behind-the-scenes and the step-by-step process we take to create these beauties here.
Like all of our cakes, both of these holiday desserts are made fresh and never frozen. Because their labor-intensive, several others bakeries bake these cakes ahead of time to meet demands. For us, freshness is not something we are willing to compromise even if that means we can't meet our demand and potential orders turned away. This means two things for you. 1) Quantities are limited. We are only able to take a certain amount of orders to keep all of them fresh, so once we hit that number, we are sold out. If you know you need one, place the order ASAP! And 2) Pick-ups on Christmas Eve must be made after 2pm. This is simply because we will still be baking and assembling on the morning of the 24th.
More information, including what flavors are avaiable, can be found on our website. Feel free to call or walk-in to place your orders. Hope to see you on Christmas Eve and Happy Holidays!

We are nearing the end of the first week of December, which means Christmas is only three weeks away! Don't wait until the last minute to get your co-workers, managers and/or bosses a thoughtful (and yummy!) gift. Remember people may be out of the office sooner than you think, so get your holiday cookie gifts out of the way.
If you remember from last year, we are offering cookie Tins, Boxes and even small baggys - a wide variety depending on your recepient.
Feel free to drop by to custom choose your cookie tins or boxes, or if you need a large quantity, please call us and order in advance so we can bake them just for you. The boxes are perfect for 6-12 cookies, and the tins are great for 6-24 -- depending on the size and type of cookie. We'll be baking mini size in addition to our regular sizes in store. In addition to our regular cookie selection, we'll also bring back Raspberry Sandwiches, Gingerbread, Spritz and Mexican Wedding Cookies.
If you don't like the tin, or want something a little different, we can also pack the same cookies inside this festive box with a bow:
Lots of different choices so make sure you call us or stop by the store. We're happy to make suggestions and place your orders in advance!
Happy Holidays!

November has flown by but don't forget that Thanksgiving is just a few days away. Please do both you and me a favor by placing your order in advance! We don't want to turn you away on Wednesday (or Thursday at our Santa Clara and Fremont stores, see our holiday hours at the end of this post) but we will definitely run out before days end! Reason being we simply don't know how much of which pies or cakes to make without you telling us what you want -- so please, pre-order no later than Tuesday, November 25.
Also don't forget that we were listed among the top-two bakeries for Pumpkin Pies last year. Baked fresh with 100% pumpkin puree and no added preservatives or artificial flavors, San Jose Mercury News gave us their stamp of approval.
But if Pumpkin Pie isn't your thing, we have tons of other options for you. We bake fresh Apple, Cherry, Pecan, Banana Cream and Chocolate Cream pies in the same manner (NO artificial colors, artificial flavors or preservatives).
We also have a couple Thanksgiving exclusive items like our Cranberry muffins and cake loaves. Baked with fresh cranberries, the muffins or loaf slices will make an excellent breakfast or snack while you're baking your turkey! Or, skip the whole turkey process and order our Turkey Package for pick up at our Santa Clara or Fremont stores (quantities limited, last day to order is Monday!).
Other great breakfast items for your family include Hot Cross Buns, Panettone, Walnut/Almond Sticky Buns or our Apple/Cherry Strudels.
Remember, place your orders by Tuesday. Hope to see you in our stores and Happy Thanksgiving!
Palo Alto will be closing early at 6PM on Wednesday; closed on Thursday.
Santa Clara will have regular hours on Wednesday; serving brunch until 2pm and closing at 3pm on Thursday.
Fremont will have regular hours on Wednesday; serving brunch until 2pm and closing at 3pm on Thursday.

HELENSBURGH Rugby Club captain Jonny Drake says he'd love to stay on in the role - if given the chance by the club's new coach.
The Grizzlies will play in BT West Division 2 in 2017-18 after being relegated from the league this season, picking up one win in the course of the whole campaign.
And after head coach Adam Hart announced he would step down from his role, uncertainty remains around the captain's role until a new appointment is made.
Several ex-players have expressed interest in the position, with Drake hoping it's sorted sooner rather than later.
He said: "If I was offered the opportunity I would. There's no better honour than representing your club and family and friends.
"We're all kind of a family here - we know each other, and it's a great honour, and there's no way I'd say no to it if I got the opportunity again.
"There's a couple of names that are getting bandied about, but hopefully it gets dealt with soon so it we can start planning for pre-season.
"It's always best to have someone who knows the club inside out already, so they know what they're going to deal with and push things on.
"A couple of ex-players are interested - or people who know the club well anyway. It'll be a benefit as they'll already know what goes on here. They'll know the players and how the club works.
"We're an amateur club. We have to look after ourselves and hopefully they can get the players more committed as well and do all the small little jobs that probably don't really get thought about each week."
But whoever does come in will have a task on their hands.
The captain said fitness was an issue for the team, and after results dropped players became less confident in themselves.
He added: "I don't think last season we were as fit as we should have been so it's been a key thing for this season and if a new coach does come in we can discuss these things and what to try and get in.
"We know what sort of talent we've got in the team but it's just trying to get the team to gel together and the consistency was the problem.
"And after you lose a few games more it does kind of get hard, you don't try things you would normally try in games or feel like you're on the top of your game.
"You hold back a bit, which is a problem, to be honest. You don't feel you could play as well as you could.
"People trying too hard as well was another issue, but everyone has developed this year and got better and better so we'll take that into division two."
And something that Drake and several others have been key to work on their fitness already, ready for next season.
The captain said: "The club are looking to buy a lot more equipment and improve the facilities for gym work and pre-season, and get everyone to a good fitness standard.
"I don't think last season we were as fit as we should have been, so it's been a key thing for this season, and if a new coach does come in we can discuss these things and what to try and get in.
"Our old tractor shed has been moved out and hopefully we can expand on that and turn it into a good gym facility so that any of the boys can come and use it when they want. It will only benefit people and it gets people together outside of training hours and Saturdays."

FULCANELLI- The Mystery Of The Cathedrals
Posted by lahar9jhadav on August 22, 2007
(The Mystery of the Cathedrals)
Was Fulcanelli a Plagiarist?
In his 1926 book entitled Le Mystère des Cathédrales, Fulcanelli provided detailed analyses of the Notre Dame Cathedrals of Paris, Amiens, Bourges and several other sites in France. Schwaller de Lubicz told Vandenbroeck that most of the book was based on a draft manuscript that he had previously loaned to Fulcanelli. Thus, most of the Fulcanelli book had been plagiarized! Schwaller stated the following:
I showed him [Fulcanelli] the documentation I had gathered of cathedral symbolism. He got very excited and assured me he would give me a hand in publishing it. I was at that time thinking about moving away from Paris; the whole social affair was taking too much of my time. But I had been working on a book with detailed proof through the structural elements of the cathedrals, and through the sculpture and ornaments, that they were a Christian expression of the Hermetic Oeuvre. … I did talk to him about all the material I had gathered concerning the symbolism of cathedrals. At that time I intended to publish something on the subject, and he made me believe he could help me; he had connections. He really was most interested when I showed him the manuscript, and asked to borrow it for a few days, to look at it more closely in view of presenting it to a publisher. It took me a long time to get the manuscript back, and when he did return it, his opinion was that this material should not get published, that it revealed too much, and publication was bound to lead me to adverse consequences. A regular confidence man he was, that one! But I admit I had had thoughts in that direction myself, and he merely confirmed them. Well I had other things on my mind. I was at that time preparing to move up to Suhalia [in Switzerland], and that was an enormous undertaking. We left shortly thereafter and I gave no further thought to the matter. I didn't stay in touch with the Paris people, wanted to get away from all that social involvement. Then in 1926 I find out about the publication of Le Mystère des Cathédrales! It was completely based on my work.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

Photo Credit: HBO. The Wire was produced and filmed in Baltimore. This is a real street in that city somewhere.
What a weekend. I am so full of joy! Yet there are things that pull at my today, so I'm writing with a bit of reflection.
Let's start with context: My uncle and his wonderful partner, who have been together for some 30 years, were legally married on Saturday thanks to the great state of Maryland giving equal marriage rights to its citizens and the Supreme Court dismantling Federal law that discriminated against same-sex couples. I've never met more loving people, and as I've expressed before, I don't know anyone in the family who love my sons more than they do. This was a long time coming, and though the wedding was planned at the last minute (Literally 7 days from planning to execution) it was well timed and well worth the energy. This weekend was also an opportunity to say goodbye to my sister, who is moving to Austin, Texas with her wonderful boyfriend in pursuit of a career in art and graphic design. They are both incredibly talented young artists, graduates of a fantastic art school, but they have been struggling to find work in Baltimore's market. It is time to move on to greener pastures, and Austin is the perfect little place for two talented 25-year-olds in love.
So there was a fully romantic theme for the weekend intertwined with acute joy. I was happy to be a part of it, even if I'd only gotten 3 hours of sleep on Friday night.
Going home to Maryland always feels good. I don't consider Baltimore to be my "hometown"–DC is the city that I identify with. But Baltimore has always been a playground–I spent many a summer day in Camden Yards***, and spent much time at the Inner Harbor for various affairs. Of course, I went to college at the very edge of the city (our address was Baltimore, but we were really in Arbutus) and so I spent very important years of my life hopping from this place to that place within city limits. There is also that wonderful gem, the Lexington Market, where I spent many a Christmas season with my parents purchasing pig-feet, chittlins and the must beautiful collard greens around. The fried chicken is pretty good from there but the crab cakes from Faidley's are to die for.
Outside of the memories, Maryland culture always makes me happy. I'm not invisible when I'm in Baltimore–I walk with more confidence, I smile more. Men address me and open doors for me. There is nothing like being a Black woman in Baltimore. While sometimes the behavior can be harmlessly untoward at the least, lecherous at the worst, for the most part it is simply a genteel mannerism that I miss. As soon as I received my first "good morning, ma'am" when I got off the airplane, I knew that it was going to be a good day. I don't think I touched a door the entirety of the 24 hours I was down there. And the food. My Lord, the food. I will never forget the crab cakes eggs benedict that I ate on Saturday morning. You simply haven't lived until you've had one. Stop what you're doing, go to Baltimore, and get you some of this right here!!
Being with family always fills the soul so encouraging my sister and celebrating my uncles was wonderful. The ceremony was short, but beautiful. The joy seemed to fill the house to bursting. The food was lovely but the company was better. I was so filled with joy that I was even able to suffer my loud mouthed cousin without too much exertion! Being able to embrace my grandmother and give her a big hug and kiss also filled me up.
But in the background of all of it, I was constantly reminded of just how privileged we are. Baltimore is a city filled with poverty. The poor and working poor of Baltimore live in deplorable conditions, and while there have been great lengths taken in order to keep the realities of poverty away from the tourist areas, it seems to spill out into every corner of the city. We cannot deny the lives of the people in that city. We cannot deny that behind the smiling faces of the many men and women in service positions who I encountered during my visit there are narratives that include struggle. Maybe not all of them, but some of them.
We drove through some neighborhoods in Baltimore that looked straight out of The Wire. While I know that the entirety of that city is not like that television show, I was reminded that parts of that city do look that way and they are not a joke. It made me think about power and history and institutionalized racism and classism. It made me think of the children I taught when I was student teaching and made me wonder about the children who grow up on those streets. It made me wonder about what I would do if I was forced to raise my boys under those circumstances. Could I survive? I don't know.
It wasn't the neighborhoods that got to me. It was the prostitute who we saw on the way to the airport. My parents picked me up from my over-priced and overrated hotel at 4:30 in the morning, and as we were pulling away, she walked in front of our car. We stopped so that she could walk on by, but she screamed angrily for us to pass. I got a good look at her. There is no way to know how old she is exactly, but she couldn't be that much older than I am.
I couldn't get her off of my mind for the rest of the day. I thought about my two sleepless nights in warm beds that were safe and accommodating and contrasted that with mean streets, high heels, and lonely places with paying Johns. I thought about her invisibility to the world, how I go through my days without a thought to poverty and its consequences until it comes up to me, screaming at me. Poverty isn't always the homeless man on the corner who we walk by with a frown. Poverty is a young woman selling her body. Poverty is rows and rows of boarded up buildings, holding secrets and tragedies and slowly fading hope. Poverty is the few men and women who are able to get the service jobs but must make their way back to unsafe places to try to make ends meet. Poverty is walking next to you, talking to you, bringing you meals and goods, smiling and greeting you, happy to serve you. Poverty is the most visible invisibility there is.
I think what is most jarring about all of this is my lack of options. I have nothing but compassion, but no means of making change at this point. While I have certainly dedicated my intelligence and passion to teaching for justice and teaching to fight generational and cyclical poverty, I'm now sitting here a pampered housewife. I'm not doing anything to stop poverty. I'm not doing anything to preventing another young woman from having to make a desperate choice. I understand that I cannot move all mountains, but poverty was a mountain that I wanted to be part of moving. It is a hurtful thought to know that while I'm languishing as a desperate housewife in a pretty Boston suburb, there are people in my home state who suffer.
I am mindful that there are some small things that I can do, and I've already spoken with my husband about reconsidering our charitable giving at the end of the year. As I research charities, I may share a few toward the end of the year for your consideration.
I wish I could focus more on the needs of my home state, but I have two toddlers to move to a new place and a house to buy. My husband and I are putting in a bid for the house this week. I'm looking forward to negotiating a reasonable price and doing what needs to be done to get in before winter. I also have to begin preparations for running our playgroup again in September. Can you believe it? Summer is almost over. Here and gone in the blink of an eye.
Be mindful of your neighbors. We're all part of a larger community. Seek the invisible and illuminate them if you can. Acknowledge them, at least, if you can do nothing else.
***(and by the by, yes, I'm am quite pissed off at David Ortiz, seeing as I have to hear about how freaking precious Fenway is every day. I think I hate the Sox more than I hate the Yankees now, and that's really really saying something. If someone came into Fenway and started smashing up stuff, this city would explode in self-righteous outrage. Football is my sport of choice, but Camden Yards is close to my heart. Such disrespect is intolerable.)

Don't be fooled by phishing.
Follow these guidelines to stay safe:
Watch for forceful/faked urgency to get you to respond before you think.
Phishing emails often offer a prize or reward to tempt you to click on a link.
They may ask you to provide your password or other confidential data for security purposes. You must be 100% sure you know the sender before you ever provide confidential information.
Website addresses that are similar to, but not the same as, the real thing are commonly found in phishing emails. (e.g. www.gØØgle.com vs www.google.com; www.twiter.com vs www.twitter.com)
Emails may use "masked" links that look like a trusted website address but take you somewhere else when you click on it. Top tip: hovering over the link before clicking should display the actual address.
Emails may appear to come from a senior employee at your organization.
Poor spelling and/or unusual grammar.

Introducing a New SaaS Metric: The Hype Factor
By Dave Kellogg on March 23, 2016
I said in yesterday's post, entitled Too Much Money Makes You Stupid, that while I don't have much of a beef with Domo, that I did want to observe in today's fund-to-excess environment that any idea — including making a series of Alec Baldwin would-be viral videos — can sound like a good one. While I credited Domo with […]

Enterprise Un-Credibility
By Vinnie Mirchandani on January 9, 2014
I am reading news from CES this week including that from a "personal cloud" company, Lyve Minds, a Seagate Technology startup. It made me ponder how believable the offering would be if an enterprise software company had announced it. 3 years after much fanfare and publicity from the Jeopardy! outing, the Wall Street Journal estimates […]

The Social Revolution Has Just Begun
By John Taschek on January 4, 2012
Depending on whom you ask, 2011 was either the year of the iPad or the year of social. The truth is that they were and are equally weighted because they are catalysts for each other, and while each can exist without the other, imagining such a thing is like trying to imagine a world where […]

Benefits of Banner Ads
Should your company use online banners?
These banner ads can in fact provide several key benefits including the following ones:
1. Time
In particular a banner ad can save time. A web developer just has to add one line of code and the website/link of the advertiser. This is very easy and helps to reduce the amount of time that's required to build the banner ads. The time you save can be sent on other priorities of your business, which will make your company more efficient.
2. Visible
In fact, many experts consider banners as one of the Internet's most visible types of ads. This is mainly because the ads contain eye-catching images. This makes them one of the types of ads you should consider for your website. It's important for ads to be as visible as possible. If that's not the case then it's more likely that a netizen will miss the ad or won't be interested in clicking on it. However, if the ad is visible then it's much more likely you'll get higher click-through rates.
3. Web traffic
Do you want to boost your website's web traffic? If so then you should definitely consider banner ads. That's because they can help to boost your traffic. It's important to develop web pages with content that will help to boost traffic. That includes banner ads. That's because they can include links that take a visitor directly to the page where information is contained.
4. Target market
An advertiser can pick which websites their banner ads will appear on. This is a plus since it allows them to more easily reach their target market. That's tougher when your company tries to show "everyone" the web-based ad. In that case you might get tons of people to see the ad but the click-through rates won't improve. That's what you'll want to do when using these ads.
5. Brand awareness
One of the top benefits of banner ads is they help to get the word out about your company. Willyou get a 100% click-through rate (CLR)? It's not likely but you'll also have the ability to boost the CTRs. That in turn will help to boost sales and profits.
6. Monthly pay
Publishers that use ad servers can pay once per month instead of paying each of their advertisers. This is a more convenient option and one of the main ones that make banner ads an excellent option. It's important to consider this factor.
7. Easy tracking
If you want to improve your site's tracking then you should definitelyconsider banner ads. It can provide information about the click-through rates of your website's banner ads, for example. That will help you make decisions about which ads need tweaking and which ones you should drop. It can be a tough decision but if you focus on online tools you'll be more likely to make the best choice.
These are some of the main benefits of banner ads. If you use them it will be a banner day for your website!

Smashing Pumpkins are suing their former record label, Virgin Records, claiming that the label used the band name in promotional activities when it had no right to do so.
According to Billy Corgan and co, Virgin used their Smashing Pumpkins band name in a promotion tie-in called Pepsi Stuff, despite not being legally allowed to use it for promotional activities.
The lawsuit filed by the band claims the label had the rights to sell digital downloads of the band's music, but not to use their name for promotional activities. They claimed that Virgin's actions compromised their "artistic integrity", reports AP.
Smashing Pumpkins left the label when they disbanded in 2000, and have been with Reprise Records, a division of Warners, since they rebanded in 2005.

Autumn Leaves on the Kamogawa
Autumn is always a nice time of the year for taking photos. Great colors, cooler weather. Lots of action. I have had a cold recently and so haven't been too adventurous with my choice of landscape or camera. Here are some everyday scenes when out walking in the late afternoon.

Bush is a British alternative rock band formed in London in 1992 shortly after vocalist/guitarist Gavin Rossdale and guitarist Nigel Pulsford met in a London nightclub. It was not long before they recruited drummer Robin Goodridge and bassist Dave Parsons and started writing. Dave Parsons joined Bush shortly after leaving the band Transvision Vamp. Drummers such as Sasha Gervasi, Amir, and Spencer Cobrin had all taken their go as Bush drummers before Robin Goodridge was made the permanent fit and thus completing the Bush lineup.
The group chose the name "Bush" because they used to live in Shepherd's Bush, London. In Canada, they were once known as Bushx, because the 1970s band Bush, led by Domenic Troiano, owned the Canadian rights to the name. In April 1997, it was announced that Troiano had agreed to let them use the name Bush in Canada without the exponent x, in exchange for donating $20,000 each to the Starlight Children's Foundation and the Canadian Music Therapy Trust Fund.
The band found immediate success with the release of their debut album "Sixteen Stone" in 1994, which is certified 6× multi-platinum by the RIAA. "Sixteen Stone" peaked at #4 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart. The album spawned two Top 40 singles in "Comedown" and "Glycerine."
In late 1996 Bush released the first single "Swallowed" from their second album titled "Razorblade Suitcase." The song spent seven weeks at #1 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and the album hit #1 on the Billboard 200. "Razorblade Suitcase" featured Steve Albini as the audio engineer who had worked with Nirvana on their final studio album, "In Utero," three years before. Following the success of "Swallowed," the album had one more hit, "Greedy Fly," but then failed to produce any more sizeable hits.
Following the completion of touring, Rossdale went into seclusion in Ireland, where he worked on material for the group's next album. Rossdale periodically sent demo tapes of his works in progress to his bandmates. The group finally convened to record in London in August 1998, where the band reteamed with "Sixteen Stone" producers Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley.
The release of "The Science of Things" was held up by a court battle between the band and Trauma Records. The case was settled in early 1999 and the album was finally released that October. Like the multi-platinum successes of Bush's first two albums, this album also reached platinum status. "The Science of Things" was a major departure in several forms from Bush's first two albums. While the band's previous albums were strongly influenced by grunge, "The Science of Things" featured some electronic music influences that distinguished the work from Bush's earlier sound. Three singles were released from "The Science of Things," most notably "The Chemicals Between Us," which spent five weeks at #1 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart and peaked at #67 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart. "Letting the Cables Sleep," the third single, reached #4 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart. Although the album had a few hit songs, it failed to chart within the Top 10.
In October 2001, now on the Atlantic Records record label, Bush released its next album, "Golden State." While the album attempted to return to the simple, catchy sound of the band's debut, it failed to achieve the same commercial success as the band's previous releases. Several singles were released – most notably the hit "The People That We Love (Speed Kills)," but none were mainstream successes. The album was the band's least successful becoming their first to fail to attain platinum RIAA certification.
In January 2002, Pulsford left the band after the release of "Golden State" to spend more time with his family and Chris Traynor took over on lead guitar for the subsequent tour, which would turn out to be Bush's last for 8 years.
Due to declining record sales and a lack of support from Atlantic Records, Bush disbanded in 2002. In 2005, the band released a greatest hits album called "The Best of: 1994-1999," and, a few months later, a live album called "Zen X Four."
The band's first studio album in ten years, and the first to be recorded with Chris Traynor and Corey Britz, replacing Nigel Pulsford and Dave Parsons on guitar and bass respectively, "The Sea of Memories" was released in 2011. This is also be the first Bush album released on E1 Records, marking their first venture away from Interscope (or Atlantic), who handled all of their previous releases. Produced by Bob Rock, the album took about more than a year to materialize with pre-production beginning in June 2010 and recording sessions wrapping up twelve months later. The single, "The Sound of Winter," reached #5 on the Billboard Rock Songs chart and #6 on the Alternative Songs chart.

We have an exciting start to 2018, with January seeing the introduction of Little Listeners, the latest course from our Let's Talk project aimed at improving children's speech and language skills in their formative years.
The free, fun, interactive five-week course begins on Friday 12th January at Cambridge Road Children's Centre for children from their 2nd birthday to their 4th birthday and their parents.
Highly Specialist Speech and Language Therapist Rosa Wright explains the course: "Little Listeners developed as we found that some children who had completed our Talking Toddlers course would benefit from more focused work on their looking and listening skills before moving on to our Chatting Children course. The course is designed for children who would benefit from developing their attention skills as well as their language skills."
Listening is one of the most important skills that children need so that they can learn from the world around them. Children need good attention and listening skills to remember what has been said.
Good attention and listening skills help with:
- Social skills
- Understanding words
- Following instructions
- Learning to communicate
- Speech sounds
- All areas of learning
The course (which has a maximum group size of eight children) has a series of entertaining activities, building and improving the child's response to parents and their interactions. Much of the sessions will involve tactile, sensory activities, including stories with noises, as well as tactile games such as the ever popular parachute game, surprise box activity and craft activities.
It is designed to be a lively course, with parents building patterns of behaviour and improvements in these patterns week-on-week, stressing the importance of routine in various situations throughout the day. We touch on other factors, such as the impact of a child's nutrition on their behaviour and responsiveness to communication, something we cover in more depth with our HENRY project.
The course develops language as well as responsiveness, building on techniques in other Let's Talk courses, such as parents modelling language for children (saying the correct phrase/language for the child to follow). The sessions also aim to reduce the language of parents (parents making language appropriate) as well as the questioning by parents. There will be a focus on the importance of looking at people and listening to people.
If you are in an ABSS area and would like to your child to attend the course visit our events page or contact firstname.lastname@example.com 01702 534549.
If you are unable to get a place on the January course, don't despair! Further courses are scheduled to take place in March.

This week was INSANE IN THE MEMBRANE - as they like to say... whoever they are. -
Working in the #nurselife this week was busier than we have been for a long time. More surgical patients then we have had in months and let's just say that many of our patients were "trying" on me... I poured my heart and soul into every shift and it left me feeling very empty and drained by the end of each day. Our patients deserve to have the BEST EXPERIENCE POSSIBLE and I'm proud of what we do on our unit - But still by Friday I was SO READY to just rest and fill my cup. I often feel guilty for not doing it all. I want to be the best nurse, the best girlfriend, the best daughter, the best health and fitness coach, the best business owner - - - I am what I like to refer to as a "recovering perfectionist." -
It's totally my personality to go go go 24/7 and wanting to be "successful" at everything in my life. But what does that even mean anyway? Success has to be defined by ME and not the world around me. I'm currently reading the book Present Over Perfect - and it's so good and the perfect message I need in my life right now.
A good friend texted me Friday night and said "You can't help anyone else if your tank is empty" - So that is EXACTLY what I'm doing this weekend. Focusing on what matters - sticking to a simple list of my priorities and getting just those done. I'm not going to worry about checking it all off either. I'm taking time to do the things that bring me joy and that are what I choose to make a priority this weekend.
T.O.L. - where did this week go?
sweets. I love em. I randomly bought a bought of Lucky Charms - just because they looked awesome. Are you a cereal fan? What is your favorite kind? I used some to top some vanilla shakeology "nice cream" and I must say it was an amazing idea and I would highly encourage you to do it too. The marshmallows are still my favorite!
Last thursday night a vendor from B's work was in town and took us out for the annual "christmas party" - just a couple months late - We went to a place that was new to us and a bit more fancy than our typical bar and grill dinners - but it was delish! Who can say no to trying new food, drinking expensive and smooth red wine and top shelf moscow mules. I tried the roasted chicken that was served over rustic frites with a cranberry glaze and candied bacon! Can't wait to go back to eat on the "tavern" side - the pizza there looked AMAZING!
Me and B headed home to see my family on Sunday - my mom's 70's birthday is this coming Friday so we had cake at church and then went to my parents place to have lunch together with all of the family. I can't get over that there are now FIFTEEN of us! With my nieces' boyfriends it sure adds up fast and leaves me feeling as old as ever...
My got so many cards from people at church and enjoyed opening every single one! Every year is a blessing.
I kind of rediscovered the wonderfulness of what is my griddler! Have you seen these? I got it a few Christmases ago from my sista - Its a grill, griddle and I even have plates for waffles. You can switch out the plates as you wish and things can be cooked either with it open OR with it shut. I have been using it the most for making my Shakeology waffles, but recently decided to reorient myself with the grill aspect so that I could cook up some chicken that needed to be used! I used the grill plates and preheated it to high - threw the chicken on and closed it and they were absolutely perfectly done in like 7-8 minutes! Then all you have to do is let it cool down and then I take out the plates and put them right in the dishwasher once they are cooled. Easy clean up!
An easy meal! Butter leaf lettuce from Costco and topped with onions, kalamata olives, grilled chicken, daiya cheese, cholulah, a drizzle of bolthouse ranch and a side of spicy nacho doritos for crunch (and balance ha!) - SO GOOD.
I braved the mall last Saturday (on a Saturday..I know right?) and was on a mission to find a couple dressier outfits. My go to store is usually Express - but for some reason I had no luck this time. I must have been feeling extra brave, because I ended up in Forever 21. That store is seriously OVERSTIM. (agreed?) But I was able to find this shirtdress? (is that a word) and paired it with my black Express jeggings and black wedges - I also found a turquoise maxi dress!
Alright YOUR turn!
What are your favorite things this week?
Favorite breakfast cereal as a kid (or now..)
Thoughts on Forever 21? or what is your GO TO store?
Do you have a griddler? What is your favorite kitchen appliance?

Vintage-themed bridal shower: Setting the table
This post is the first in a series about how to plan a vintage bridal shower for your 1920s wedding. You can find the first post, with the list of all the posts in the series, here:
Planning a vintage-themed bridal shower or party
Today's topic focuses on dishes and linens. The way you set the table for your 1920s-themed bridal shower, or for any vintage-themed party, is paramount to creating an authentic vintage feel. For the vintage tea party we held for my mom's birthday, we used snack sets and vintage linens.
According to what information I can find, glass companies started making snack sets in the 1920s, and continued until the 1960s and later. They were most popular in the 1940s and 1950s. Each place setting consisted of a little tray with a matching cup that sat in one corner, and were usually made of either clear glass or milk glass.
Although many of the sets you will see are actually from the '40s and '50s, they are still very art deco. Many of the sets use motifs or themes that were popular in the 1920s. Some sets, such as the ones I have, even have a tiny ashtray and a cigarette rest in one corner of the tray! This reminds me of the 1920s so much, because it was around then that it really became fashionable for women to smoke. (Not that I am a fan of smoking, let alone having a cigarette right next to my food — we used the ashtrays as just another place for food. It would be a good place for dip, too.)
There is some confusion over who made my snack sets. I often see these sets sold as Candlewick, which, according to this blog post on Candlewick vs. Boopie, was a pattern by Imperial Glass that dates back to the 1920s. However, because of the lack of space between the balls, they are actually not Candlewick. From what I can tell on eBay, the sets were sold by two different companies — Anchor Hocking, which introduced their version of the pattern in the 1950s, and Atlas-Hazel Orchard Crystal. I've seen the exact same sets still in their box from both companies, and I have no idea if there is any way to tell them apart.
I think the squarish lines and the pattern of my snack sets could easily fit into a 1920s theme, and I've seen others that would, as well. For instance, I think these are fantastic — the basic pattern is similar to mine, but the rounded ends made it look even more art deco. And check out the cigarette rest!

Another great pattern for a 1920s-themed shower or party would be these fan-shaped snack sets. The faceted pattern on the underside is lovely when it catches the light and shows through the top (which is smooth, so you can eat off it). As far as I can tell, the cups on these also came in both red and green, so you could look for whichever would best suit your wedding colors.

This is one of the plainer sets, but I love it because the frills on one side look very art deco to me. And check out the sweet little curlicue handle on the cup!

There are so many beautiful styles to choose from that I couldn't include them all, but here is one more. Grapes and grape leaves were a popular motif in the 1920s, so even though this set is probably from the '40s or '50s, I still think it would be appropriate:

Finally, don't forget vintage linens. You can usually find these pretty cheap at garage sales, estate sales, thrift stores, and eBay. Vintage linens do need to be ironed in order to look nice, but it's worth the trouble! I didn't use a vintage tablecloth (and my place mats aren't vintage, either, actually), but the napkins are vintage and possibly hand-embroidered.
Don't feel like everything has to match, by the way. Plenty of restaurants use mismatched dishes and napkins for a cool eclectic feel. You can do this too. Snack sets came in 8-piece sets (four place settings), so you could get several different complete sets for variety, or even buy individual place settings (just a cup and plate) if you see something you like that doesn't come in a complete set. You can also pair up coordinating but mismatched place mats and napkins.
Many thanks to all the sellers who let me use their photos in this blog post. Readers, if you are interested in vintage items such as snack sets, please feel free to check out their items. They were all extremely friendly in my dealings with them, and would be lovely to do business with!

Dear Farrah Fawcett,
I'm sure you understand why Michael Jackson's death has taken over the airwaves and blogosphere, but the folks you've touched remember you, too. You might not be on the front page, but people are still talking.
People are talking about The Poster. People are talking about The Hair. People are saying you were a pretty face, but more than that, too. They're praising your battle with the disease that finally killed you. And they're talking about The Poster some more.
One swath of your adoring public is isn't talking about The Poster so much. Gen-X women are talking about Jill Munroe, the character you played on "Charlie's Angels," and how you taught us to kick butt.
For an entire generation of girls, that was your legacy. And even some of the girls born later who are fans of Sigourney Weaver in the "Aliens" franchise, Carrie-Anne Moss in "The Matrix" and even "Xena," know that Jill Munroe & Co. were the first soldiers on the female action hero front line.
The grown-up critics at the time derisively called the show "jiggle TV," and maybe it was, but that was lost on us. To us girls, "Charlie's Angels" was an exciting fantasyland where cool ladies in sweet outfits got to pack heat and run down the bad guys.
The feminist elders at the time dismissed the show as sexploitation, and it certainly may have been, but that went way over our heads. All we cared about was that now we had this fun game to play with each other after school. Some kids escaped into cops and robbers, but the girls of the '70s played "Charlie's Angels."
It went down like this: Everyone would pick which Angel they wanted to be. Farrah, I hope you know that everyone fought over who got to be Jill Munroe. And then, we'd run around together, our fingers twisted into pistols, acting out all sorts of scenarios where we'd outsmart the criminals while flipping our hair.
It felt like true liberation to find this funnel for our energy: to run, jump, roll on the ground and have purpose in our play. We fed off of each other the way we saw the Angels do it: friends before all with a little sass for everyone else. It wasn't lost on us how the Angels often used their feminine wiles to entrap clueless men. So who was being sexploited again?
Farrah, you only stayed on the show for one season, but your gift of Jill Munroe still lives on with the grown-up girls of the 1970s. They took to Twitter to offer homage, and they loved you even if they couldn't spell your character's name correctly.
"I was a Charlie's Angels gal. In the neighborhood, I was Jill until Kris Monroe came along. I had the silk jacket," said one. And another: "RIP Farrah! My 5th grade hair do was the Farrah and Jill Monroe taught me girls could be beautiful AND kick butt! Best hair toss ever!" And this one, too: "So sad that Farrah Fawcett lost her battle with cancer. Rest in peace Jill Monroe (I was totally her when we played Charlies Angels)."
Know that there are lots more just like it out there, Farrah. It's not wrong to be remembered for The Poster, The Hair or The Battle, as long as it's not forgotten that you've left a lasting legacy for something very different among a bunch of women who used to be little girls.
Yours forever,
Girls of the '70s
The girls of Gen X say goodbye to Farrah, their favorite Angel
Dear Farrah Fawcett,

Dr. Mamdouh Aker is a very big deal in Palestine, the kind of man everyone knows and respects, and it's easy to see why. He's urology surgeon and the deputy chair of the Board of Trustees of Berzeit University in Palestine's West Bank. Among the founders of the Mandela Institute for Political Prisoners and the Independent Commission for Human Rights, Dr. Aker was also a member of the Palestinian delegation to the Madrid Peace Conference and in the Palestinian-Israeli bilateral talks between 1991 and 1993. He's also a member of several councils and committees focused on the health, education, and wellbeing of the Palestinian people. During his visit to the Carver College of Medicine he spoke to our students and faculty about the state of Palestinian healthcare. He was generous with his time, as he also sat down with med students Shakoora Sabree, Ossama Habu-Halawa, Jordan Harbaugh-Williams, and Joelle Friezen to discuss the topic. Our discussion was near the anniversary of his 45-day ordeal in the custody of Israeli security forces in the early 1990s because of his outspoken views that his Palestinian patients were prevented from receiving adequate healthcare.

A business that is not growing is often one that is dying. It is impossible to stand still in a dynamic economy, so you need to make sure that your company is always well-positioned for growth. One important tool for doing so is content marketing.
Essentially, this form of marketing involves using content, such as articles, infographics or videos to attract visitors and persuade them to become customers. By creating or curating the right content, you can enhance your brand and reach a large audience.
Lead Generation
Generating new leads is a major challenge for many businesses. Using content to bring in new leads is a very effective strategy. By providing the type of valuable information that people are looking for, such as how-to articles, tutorials, or expert interviews, you can increase the amount of traffic that comes to your site.
Sites that are regularly updated with new content tend to generate many more leads than those that only add new articles or content irregularly, or not at all. However, it is important to select the right type of content for your target audience. For example, if you want to reach people who are interested in cooking, then recipes or instructional videos are going to be most effective. You can re-purpose the video content by converting it to a podcast or transcribing it and posting it as an article on your site.
Increase Interest In Your Products
If no one is interested in the products or services that you provide, you will have a hard time staying in business for long. By providing free samples or trials, you can significantly boost the level of interest in a short period of time.
One effective technique for doing so is to offer free trials or free samples. This is particularly effective if you are in the business of selling content. Offer a free sample chapter of an e-book or the first video in a series of instructional videos. If people like what they see, they will be more likely to come back and pay for the rest.
Creating A Vibrant Community
Too often, businesses think of their customers in isolation, as separate individuals with no connection to each other. In fact, companies that work to connect their customers and to create a lively community focused on their brand tend to do very well in the marketplace. Content marketing is an excellent tool for building such a community.
Do not just publish your content and forget about it. Instead, ask people to respond to it and to let you know what they think of it. Social sites are an excellent place where people can get together and discuss a particular article or video. Encourage people to provide their own ideas that expand on your content.
When people feel as if they are part of a larger community, they naturally come to feel loyal to that group. By working on building such a community, you can turn casual visitors into loyal customers. Of course, you need to make sure that you keep providing new content so that the community remains active.
Building A Brand Image
Your brand is one of your most valuable assets so you need to protect it. A great deal of hard work can be destroyed overnight by a careless tweet or thoughtless post. You need to make sure that all of the content that you post is consistently aimed at creating a positive image for your brand.
Because of this, it is often wise to centralize the production of content. Instead of letting a half-dozen people write articles or create videos, it may be more sensible to put these tasks into the hands of a few trusted employees. This way, you can make sure that nothing is posted that will harm your brand image.
Content marketing needs to play a central role in your strategy for growing your business. By making judicious use of these techniques, you can make sure that your company is able to take advantage of any growth opportunities that may arise.

ALICE COOPER To Film Theatre Of Death Tour For DVD
August 7, 2009, 10 years ago
Gary Graff from Billboard.com is reporting:
With a revamped set list and four onstage "deaths," ALICE COOPER is shaking things up a bit with his just-launched Theatre Of Death North American tour."It's Alice all the way, but the formula is totally upside down and backwards," the veteran shock-rocker tells Billboard.com. "It's a celebration of Alice stuff. There's no moral to it. It really is just sort of a celebration of different phases of Alice."
Cooper credits Robert Jess Roth, who directed the original stage production of Walt Disney's Beauty And The Beast and is a big Cooper fan, with the Theatre Of Death concept. "He said, 'I want your lyrics to tell the story,' " recalls Cooper, who had to write a new verse for 'Devil's Food' to accommodate Roth's script. "He said, 'I want to tell four stories - the delinquent Alice, Alice in hell, four different acts. And at the end of each act we kill you; we kill that Alice and introduce the next Alice.'"He showed me the set list and the ideas and we started talking about what deaths would be good, this and that, and the show just stared forming. All of a sudden we had this elaborate show, new lights and props and costumes and everything, and I really liked it.
Besides the deaths, Cooper is also throwing fans by starting with his usual show-closer, 'School's Out' (which is reprised at the end of the night). "People are going, 'What? You don't kill Alice in the first five songs. What's gonna happen?!' To me it's really exciting to do a new show that works like this. And it's more rockin', this show, than the last show. There's more hard rock songs in a row."
Cooper says he plans on filming and recording the Theatre Of Death tour at some point before it winds down in December, though he also plans on taking the same show out again in 2010. He also isn't ruling out a future show based on his 2008 album Along Came A Spider, although he's already started work on his next album, too.

DEPARTMENT of health spokesperson Joe Maila has died.
