Being the "single aunt" in the family can sometimes be challenging since you're obliged to babysit the kids from time to time. Last March, my nephews from Australia stayed with us for 2 weeks and that made me the official babysitter when the parents are away. It was not easy because I don't have a kid of my own yet (unless you count my dogs as my kids) and both of them are boys (so extra playful). I did all, from preparing food, bathing, playing with the boys and toothbrush.
What I noticed is that my nephews just like doing stuff together and loves cartoons. Making kids brush their teeth can sometimes be challenging especially when they are not in the mood. So our solution to make brushing time fun for the kids and the family is to do it together. Make it seem like a fun game you can all do and don't forget to bring their favorite cartoon toy with them of course.
That is what I love about Colgate's Minions toothbrush and Minions toothpaste. Because kids loves "The Minions" and it can add fun to their brushing. Bringing in some minion vibe in their boring old toothpaste and toothbrushes (plus the Bubble Fruit flavor looks yum!!!).
So next time you're in search for a fun way to do tooth brushing, don't forget Colgate's Minion Oral Care Pack. Available in two variants:
Colgate Minions Kids 2-5 Years Old (Junior) Oral Care Pack
Colgate Minions Kids 5-9 Years Old (Youth) Oral Care Pack
Happy Brushing with Colgate!!!!

You have to give a tip of the hat to America's Cynic-in-Chief. Every time you think he has scraped bottom, he sinks still lower.
Take President Obama's most recent political gambit. Knowing Democrats cannot win the midterms on his record and having long ago foregone a positive agenda, Mr. Obama and his party are now claiming in every conceivable setting that Republicans will impeach him if the GOP wins this fall.
First lady Michelle Obama led off this attack at a Democratic National Committee fundraiser last Thursday in Chicago, warning that if Democrats lose this November, there will be more "talk about impeachment."
That was apparently too subtle. So at a breakfast with reporters the next morning, White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer raised the topic, accusing Speaker John Boehner of having "opened the door to Republicans pursuing impeachment at some point in the future."
Later that day at an Ohio lunch with the National Urban League, the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida, said of impeachment, "That's what Republicans have told us . . . they'll do."
About the same time White House press secretary Josh Earnest said "senior members" and "prominent voices" in the GOP were calling for impeachment. Asked about Mr. Boehner's Tuesday declaration that impeachment was off the table, Mr. Earnest suggested that the speaker was lying.
On Sunday House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi joined the chorus in a CNN appearance. Without prompting, she declared that Republicans were "on a path to impeach the president."
On Tuesday, at breakfast with reporters, the Democratic Congressional Committee chairman, Rep. Steve Israel of New York, said the Republican election message was "impeach, impeach, impeach."
All this is complete and utter nonsense.
The House would need to launch an impeachment effort, yet Mr. Boehner said this week that the House has "no plans to impeach the president" and "no future plans" either. On Tuesday he called it "a scam started by Democrats at the White House." No sane person believes that even after the midterms there will be the necessary 67 votes in the Senate to remove Mr. Obama, even if the House voted to impeach him.
So why are Democrats—led by the Obama White House—incessantly raising impeachment? First, it fattens Democratic bank accounts. Mr. Israel breathlessly informed reporters that his committee raised $1 million online Monday using the impeachment threat and $2.1 million in a four-day period.
In June 2008, 12 House Democrats—including committee and subcommittee chairmen and close allies of Mrs. Pelosi—introduced a bill to impeach President George W. Bush. Imagine the outrage if then-first lady Laura Bush, White House press secretary Dana Perino, House Minority Leader John Boehner and Republican National Committee Chairman Mike Duncan had used the occasion to raise campaign funds. And it's worth reiterating: There is no such bill today.
Second, impeachment talk motivates a lethargic Democratic base, worn-out and embarrassed by Mr. Obama's incompetence and lack of leadership. Mr. Israel admitted impeachment talk is "energizing our base."
Democratic strategists are especially concerned over lassitude about the fall elections in minority communities. So members of the Congressional Black Caucus took to the House floor Monday night to attack the "GOP march towards impeachment." And in a ploy to motivate Hispanic voters, Mr. Pfeiffer alleged Republicans would impeach Mr. Obama if he issued an executive order allowing millions of illegal immigrants to stay in the country without threat of deportation, as news reports suggest the president is contemplating.
Third, impeachment threats hurt Republicans with independents, a group critical to victory this fall. Today, independents are inclined to favor Republicans by an 11-point margin, according to a July 22 Fox News Poll, and 59% disapprove of Mr. Obama's performance. Yet in a July 20 CNN/ORC poll, 63% of independents oppose impeachment.
Finally, talk of impeachment diverts attention from everything else. Every moment spent discussing impeachment is a moment not spent discussing issues that hurt Democrats, such as ObamaCare, the weak recovery, the border crisis, the nation's growing debt and the world's increasingly dangerous condition.
Mr. Obama is counting on Republican allies to help gin up the specter of impeachment. It would be nice if Republican backbenchers desperate to appear on cable TV shows, and conservative celebrities seeking website hits, would resist the temptation to become useful stooges for the president by insisting that impeachment is a real possibility.
Earlier this month, Mr. Pfeiffer told Politico that "Impeachment is obviously a very serious topic being bandied about in an unserious way by unserious people." A week of the White House and its allies raising fears of an unnecessary Constitutional crisis show how right Mr. Pfeiffer was.
A version of this article appeared July 31, 2014, in the U.S. edition of The Wall Street Journal, with the headline Democrats Try The Impeachment Ploy and online at WSJ.com.

The work rate of Khaela Maricich, the only constant in synthpop outfit The Blow, has been lax over the latter half of her project's existence. To start with, when it was a purely solo endeavour with no grand scheme or explosive plots, she was churning out material, and then, after a full-length LP – Paper Television – with YACHT's Jona Bechtolt, nada. Since 2007, Maricich has been elusive. Apparently, she'd been recording a new album (what would later become her upcoming eponymous release) about "someone who is quasi-lesbian and might have gone off the rails." After drafting visual artist, producer and girlfriend Melissa Dyne into the inner circle of The Blow to assist in creating the record, the long wait for more sounds is finally over.
Opening with the drum machine barrage of 'Make It Up', a sublimely bubblegummy slab of pop-cake, the record starts strong. There's golden harmonies and lurching synth jerks, it's replete with gasps and jittering beats. The effort is instantly infectious; it almost sounds like the main song'n'dance number to a future Broadway smash-hit. Unfortunately, The Blow doesn't start as it means to go on.
There are occasional moments of magic, but on the whole, the record's a slog. There's not so much a natural desire to find out what's next, rather a niggling duty to soldier on and the prospect of the guilt of giving up being too heavy a burden. Finishing the record in one go is more an act of politeness. A lot of the sounds feel tasteless (not like Ricky Gervais, more like a fast food salad bland), and is perfectly content to wade in limpid pools of comfort. Nothing's bad per se, but it feels a tad phoned in. While Dyne and Maricich perform ably and make coherent sounds with nice lyrics, there's little boundary pushing. That wouldn't an issue if there was something familiar that incited intrigue, but alas, it's disproportionately tame: not out of fear, it would appear, but rather out of complacency. This is the Chinese Democracy of synthpop, kind of.
However, as previously mentioned, there are moments of magic. 'Make It Up' is great, but completely unrepresentative of The Blow as a whole. 'Hey' wields glorious vocal melodies and a chorus simply bursting with gorgeous production. It's scattered with sunny fragments, and despite the juxtaposing words, it's uplifting. The Feist-y 'You're My Light' is wonderful too, with woodwind synths and tense folktronica passages. There's a subtle darkness on offer, but it's ultimately a beacon of hope on the record: "When they ask you 'what do you do?'/ what do we do?/ we go hand in hand into the blackness." It ignites a warm, fuzzy happiness in your gut.
Perhaps the reason that this album struggles is an unfortunate trifecta of issues: the loss of Bechtolt, the fact it's been over half a decade and Maricich may be rusty as a writer, and the new band dynamic. It may have been more prudent, in hindsight, to trim the fat from this and come back to the fray with a decisively strong EP, and then move onwards to a fully-fledged album. Maybe.

Deccan Chronicle And The Naked Art of Selling News
In the age where our most inner and intimate matters have been commoditized by corporations, it's no surprise that sex is being used as a tool to sell products. Many critics of popular culture use the adage "sex sells" to justify the means. Well, though there may be some truth in it, it's disgusting if a product that comes with an element of the proverbial "social responsibility" resorts to a juvenile representation of its target market for the sake the one thing all business needs – sell more.
If the advertising guys at Deccan Chronicle think this is what young minds are – one heck of perverts ogling at hoardings of naked woman embossed in newspaper prints all over her body, metaphorically meaning to read the newspaper giving particular attention to detail, or whatever crap that was meant to mean – then there has just been a little mistake. Just that we youngsters have a little more sense than to get swayed by pictures of naked women to buy a newspaper.
What's more intimidating is that their ad doesn't even talk about the quality of news – the least you would expect of a newspaper – and whenever they remotely do, it's again a skin-deep expose. Chennai Metblogs carried a post on similar lines with more pictures. Probably the in-house talent pool of Deccan Chronicle Marketing ran out of concrete ideas to increase youngsters' readership and resorted to the only supposedly sure-to-work strategy – sex appeal.
An independent survey conducted by research firm MediaAnalyzer states that,
While almost half of men (48 percent) said they like sexual ads, few women did (8 percent). Most men (63 percent) said sexual ads have a high stopping power for them; fewer women thought so (28 percent).
If only 8 percent of women give a damn to such an ad, then was it all about increasing Male leadership? Am I hallucinating or does it really sound awkward? If you still think this would make Deccan Chronicle the-ultimate-choice-of-the-young-minds then take a bite at this MediaAnalyzer finding,
Men tend to focus on an ad's sexual imagery (breasts, legs, skin, etc.), which draws their attention away from other elements of the ad (logo, product shot, headline). This may be why men's brand recall was worse for the sexual ads than for the nonsexual ones.
So there goes the sex sells theory. Trying to fit an ad suited enough to market a lingerie brand into marketing a newspaper looks as awful as it sounds. They would do a lot of good to themselves, if the nice folks at Deccan Chronicle could stuff their ad-women with some clothes and talk more about how good their news reporting is, so we know exactly what they sell. We youngsters like to see naked truth in newspapers, not naked women.

Nice writing style. Looking forward to reading more from you.
Chris Moran
Welcome back…
Hi Kishore… How are you? Well, that bit about how different sexes perceive ads that have sexual connotation is interesting, especially since this route used by the advertising industry to capture people's attention is a very old and much-debated one.
Can't agree more.
I don't read that paper anyway.
totally agree. Loved the Indian Express ad/hoarding with the young guy who says, If I wanted sleaze, I would go on line. Hmm, not that the net is filled with sleaze only, and not that ALL men are 60% turned on by lingerie ads masquerading as newspaper ads.
hey came across your blog and read a few of your posts !! you write well..keep positng
well your point is perfectly justified..yes i would also like to say that sleaze has found its way into media to a great extent..and there is one more justification which is commonly given when quizzed…it is merely to catch the reader's attention..and to get some mindshare..but then the age old adage..any kind of publicity is good publicity…
i am sure people who have put up that ad..will not mind you writing this piece ..they would claim that the word about the paper is spreading :)..
what's up?
Na , dieses ist ein sehr toller BLOG! Eure Beitraege und Kommentare sind wirklich immer wirklich angenehm und schoen geschrieben. Der jetztige Beitrag ist daher so gut wie ich es gewohnt bin ,daher schreibe ich kurz diesen Text um euch das zu sagen und euch als Favoriten zu markieren,damit ich keine weiteren Texte verpasse!Liebste Gruesse Tanja
Interesting advertising post, but what about online?
Seriously this is a advantageous online site.
Can I just say what a relief to find someone that actually knows what they are talking about on the web.
You actually realize how to bring an issue to light and make it important.
More and more people have to read this and understand this side of your
story. It's surprising you are not more popular since you surely possess the gift.

Hi guys,
I use richfaces 3.3.3.Final with Seam and facelet.
I have plugged a profiler on my application and I have a weird behavior.
When I log all exceptions thrown by the application, I have more than 10 000 NoSuchFieldElementException in 10 minutes.
After many search, I found the problem:
When I started an ajax request by a4j:support, the NoSuchFieldElementException is thrown by the AjaxChildrenRenderer in these lines (199-202):
String componentType = (String) component.getClass().getField("COMPONENT_TYPE").get(null);
result = _specialComponentTypes.contains(componentType);
The component variable is a UIInstructions and it has no "COMPONENT_TYPE" field. So, the exception is normal.
This exception is thrown for each html block contained in my page. For example:
When I reRender a block with html tag, the exception is thrown.
I have very complex page, so I get many of this exceptions.
How I can do to avoid this exception ? May be a parser option to avoid to go in this class for html block.
Thanks for your help.
Retrieving data ...

Musicians on Call has announced that Grammy award-winning artist Common will be the headline performing act at the organization's Presidential Convention Charity Benefit at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C. on September 4.
The benefit is sponsored by the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers ("Auto Alliance") and the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), who will also co-produce the event.
Based in New York with branches in Los Angeles, Miami, Philadelphia, Nashville and Washington, D.C., Musicians On Call is a charity that brings the healing power of music to the bedsides of wounded soldiers at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Veterans Administration Hospitals, and other healthcare facilities. The event will help raise money for Musicians On Call to expand its Bedside Performance Program to other cities and facilities and encourage others to give back to the military by getting involved at www.musiciansoncall.org. Musicians On Call will join the RIAA, Auto Alliance, Viacom, exclusive print media partner CQ Roll Call and other co-sponsors for this charity benefit in Charlotte and one at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla.
Earning acclaim from both his fans and his peers in the entertainment industry for two decades, Common is a multi-talented hip-hop icon, film and television actor and author who has been enjoying notable success since the release of his 1992 debut album, Can I Borrow a Dollar?. The Chicago native and Warner Bros. Records artist went on to record eight more albums, three of which have earned RIAA Gold certifications: Like Water For Chocolate, Be and Finding Forever. Last December Common released his latest album, The Dreamer, The Believer. Common has also successfully crossed over into the acting world, appearing on screen in films including American Gangster, Wanted, Terminator Salvation, Date Night, Just Wright, Happy Feet Two, New Year's Eve, as well as the acclaimed AMC television series Hell on Wheels. Common has charted a constant course toward self-expansion and reinvention. He's gone from a battle rhymer flipping clever punch lines to a conscious rapper and author exploring themes of love and light, to the complex, multi-talented artist that he is today. Through it all, he's stayed true to his family, to his friends, and to his South Side Chicago roots.
"We are honored that MOC was named the beneficiary of the 2012 Presidential Convention Charity Benefit," said Dr. Leslie Faerstein, MOC's Executive Director.
"The RIAA, Auto Alliance, Viacom and other sponsors are helping MOC to bring music to a greater number of patients in healthcare facilities across the country. We are truly grateful." Dr. Faerstein added, "We're thrilled that Common will be our headline act at this year's benefit. As an organization that understands the transformative power of music, we are excited to be partnering with such a dynamic artist as Common. That his music has brightened the days of so many makes him the perfect partner for MOC."
Said Common: "I'm not only excited to be able to support our President at this year's Democratic National Convention, but also Musicians On Call, an organization that brings the healing power of music to hospital patients all over America."
The invitation-only event, which will feature legendary music producer Jermaine Dupri as the evening's official DJ, will take place the evening of September 4th (Tuesday) at the historic Fillmore concert venue in Charlotte.

ARCADIA, Calif. (Oct. 8, 2015)–Longshot Peggy Sue's Loose proved gamest late as she dug in resolutely under Kent Desormeaux to take Thursday's $53,000 Santa Anita allowance feature by 1 ¼ lengths while getting a mile on turf in 1:35.61.
Trained by Richard Rosales and owned by Laura Armstrong, the 5-year-old mare by Benchmark was off at 10-1 in a field of eight fillies mares bred or sired in California and she paid $23.00, $9.80 and $5.80.
A come from behind maiden winner going 1 1/16 miles on turf at Del Mar Sept. 2, "Peggy" sat a close second into and around the far turn today and finished with a flourish in what was her 14th career start. With the winner's share of $31,800, she increased her earnings to $137,090 and improved her overall mark to 14-2-3-2.
Rosales gave full credit to Desormeaux, who is now two for two with Peggy Sue's Loose.
"We have had trouble with guys that wanted to take her back and then take way too much hold, and this time, Kent just left her basically alone," he said. "The last two starts, he's left her alone. If the pace is hot, she can stay back and if not, she can be closer. I have to give Kent a lot of credit for this one."
Runner-up West Coast Storm, who was lapped on the winner around the far turn and caught three wide turning for home, finished a 2 ¼ lengths in front of longshot pacesetter Hanserella. Ridden by Mario Gutierrez, West Coast Storm was off at 9-1 and paid $9.20 and $6.40.
Off at 33-1, Hanserella cleared off by two lengths around the Club House turn and gave way grudgingly late to finish third, a half length in front of Wild Bella. Ridden by Edwin Maldonado and off at 33-1, Hanserella paid $11.00 to show.
Fractions on the race were 23.27, 47.73, 1:11.73 and 1:23.57.

A man was seriously hurt after being brutally attacked in a violent robbery in Bretton.
The victim, a 22-year-old man from Maxey in Peterborough, was walking along the footpath close to AMF Bowling in Sturrock Way at about 5.30pm on Friday, August 7 when he was attacked.
He was walking in the direction of Smith's garage and, without any words said or any knowledge of anyone around him, sustained a blow to the back of his head.
He fell face down to the floor and was punched and kicked to his face and body.
During the assault his wallet was taken from his trouser pocket which contained £560 cash which he has just withdrawn from the bank to put towards a car. He also has his gold-plated chain ripped from his neck.
The wallet is described as cream and blueish green with a New York skyline design on it.
The victim was taken to Peterborough City Hospital for x-rays, however did not sustain any broken bones.
Detective Constable Fran Scott said: "Unfortunately the victim did not get a look at the offenders, but believes there must have been more than one person due to the beating at the time.
"I am particularly keen to speak to anyone who may have seen the chain taken from the victim, or been offered it for sale.
"Thankfully the victim did not sustain any lasting injuries, however this was a horrific ordeal for him and those responsible should be brought to justice."
Anyone with information is asked to contact Peterborough CID by calling 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

It doesn't take much to shut down a major city and the surrounding suburbs in Texas. We woke up to iced over roads and a dusting of snow. I'm excited to have the day off but not looking forward to making it up on a nice, sunny day. It is getting me excited about going to Alaska though. I've been trying out some of my layering techniques to get ready for the cold. The deer and the birds are all wanting to be fed today because they are cold and they know if they hang around our house, they'll get fed. My cat however, spent a total of 5 seconds on the back porch before she was snuggled with me on the couch again.

CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - A power outage across South End Friday night was caused by a crash on Wilmore Drive and Summit Avenue.
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department told WBTV that someone crashed their car into a power pole, then left the vehicle and ran away.
This crash left thousands without power, and as of Saturday morning most of those outages have been repaired.
Police said on Friday night that gunshots may have been fired before the crash.
As of Saturday morning, police say they are not able to determine if that is the case.

Hey all! So you may have noticed the past couple of months it has been fairly quiet over here on CharmedCharlee *cue sad face*. Unfortunately as it sometimes does life had taken over which meant that I stepped away from blogging for a little bit - really stemming from when I went on holiday, and I have to admit I did kind of lose my blogging mojo since coming home. I dunno what it is maybe it was the relaxation of holiday or just that since I got back I've been very busy and unfortunately that meant I neglected my little space over here. And then a couple of weeks ago I had my tonsils out which hasn't gone smooth but I think I'm finally on the mend - or at least I can hope!
However I am back, and I can't wait to share with you all the new posts that I have planned! So just a short one today and to say thank you for being patient! Watch this space as I will be back up and running shortly!

Panasonic's GX9 packs 4K video and more into a tinier body
Panasonic's Lumix GX8 flagship compact was already a pretty innovative camera back in 2015 with 4K video, stabilization and a relatively high resolution 20.3-megapixel sensor. The next generation Lumix GX9 builds on that tech, but lowers the price and fits it into a new body borrowed from the GX85. That's a good thing — the GX85 is a nice-looking, very compact camera with physical dials, and the GX9 brings its bigger sensor, tiltable electronic viewfinder (EVF) and other nice perks.
As you'd expect from one of Panasonic's top Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera, the GX9 has pretty high-end specs. That includes a 20.3-megapixel Live MOS sensor, powered by the latest Venus Engine. It's the same resolution as before, but sans the GX8's low-pass filter — identical to the one on the flagship GH5, it seems. The contrast AF "depth from defocus" system has face and eye detection and can focus in .07 seconds, Panasonic says. The camera now has a electromagnetic, rather than a mechanical shutter, which reduces vibrations by up to 90 percent.
The GX9 has a new wide screen 16:9 electronic viewfinder (which Panasonic calls a "live view finder,") with 2,760 dot resolution, 90-degree tilt-up angle and 100 percent field of view. The rear LCD can be tilted, but unfortunately for vloggers or tourists who need a full self-portrait mode, it no longer flips out like it did before. You get 5-axis in-body stabilization, compared to 4-axis on the GX8, which can be paired with lens stabilization to reduce shake on telephoto shots. The GX9 also includes a built-in flash, unlike the last model.
Video is Panasonic's strong point, and you can capture UltraHD 4K video at 30p or 24p, and 60fps 1,920 x 1,080, all with full time AF. Again, that's identical to the GX8, but Panasonic has augmented its so-called 4K Photo options, making it easier to grab 8-megapixel equivalent photos. That's thanks to a new "auto marking" function that will automatically find unique shots, and a "post focus" mode that uses the 4K mode to let you change the focus of shots even after you take them.
Finally, Panasonic has introduced an L.Monochrome D mode that will yield black and white images with better dynamic range and more control of grain (noise). The Panasonic GX9 will arrive in mid-March in black or silver with the kit 12-60 f/3.5-5.6 kit lens for $1,000 — a good $200 less than the GX8 with a body only.

These were good quality Austrian made machines, not Chinese. It would be fairly compact as well (it's a benchtop mill), and comes with a 1/2HP DC motor, running up to 2000 rpm, or could be faster if you change the pulley ratio.

If there's anything that divorce has taught you, it's that life is unpredictable. You can't know what hurdles you'll have to clear in the future. Now is the time to buckle down and take control of your money.
For many people, divorce isn't just emotionally painful, but can also be a rude awakening to managing money. If you were not the one balancing the checkbook and paying the bills, it's going to take some effort to live your new life according to your income.
While divorce courts often stipulate support payments that benefit the stay-at-home parent, it's possible that down the road changes could be made to the decree. Though it may feel overwhelming, in truth there are some simple ways you can easily start to take control of your cash and plan ahead for all contingencies.
Creating a budget that works
Even if you don't have a financial consultant, sometimes just sitting down with a friend who has managed their own bank accounts will help you learn the basics of good money handling. Your budget should pay for a modest home, utilities, food, transportation, clothing and entertainment.
You must also include a plan for automatic savings that goes toward retirement, emergencies and large expenses. You are going to have to track all your expenditures for a few months to get a handle on where all the money goes. Your income should include support payments and any salary you might earn.
Building a plan for self-sufficiency
If you have not been in the workforce and will be initially receiving a significant divorce settlement, it is still a good idea to spend some time working on your ability to pay your own way--just in case your support is lowered in the future.
Explore taking classes or finishing your degree. You may want to take a part-time job that could lead to something full time later. Finding any employment now will help you find a more rewarding position, which can boost your self esteem and help you stay in a routine as you process all these life changes.
Making realistic choices
It's going to be tempting to take that vacation you've always dreamed of when the settlement comes through for the sale of marital property. Remind yourself that cash represents an investment that was made to support your family in the future. Right now it's important to stay focused on planning for the unknown.
The fact is, the income that supported your family in a single household is now paying for two homes. You may not be able to afford some of your more indulgent treats for a while. Making changes to your personal habits will help you avoid falling further into the debt that often comes with the divorce process.
It may help you to plan ahead while still in the divorce process by asking your family law attorney for a recommendation for a financial consultant experienced in assisting individuals that have suffered major life changing events.

Tito El Bambino Talks About His Smash Marc Anthony Collab, Shower Singing and More
By Leila Cobo
Urban/tropical/pop star Tito El Bambino, who along with fellow Puerto Rican Don Omar holds the record as top finalist for the Billboard Latin Music Awards (in 2010 he had 18 nods, same as Don Omar this year), will be one of the featured acts at the fourth annual Billboard en Concierto. The seven-stop concert series that leads up to the April 25 Billboard Latin Music Conference and Awards kicks off April 2 with four shows by young tribal pioneers (and Latin Grammy winners for Best New Artist) 3BallMTY followed by three shows by Tito El Bambino in Chicago, Miami and New York. Signed to Siente/UMLE, Tito's current single "Por qué les mientes?" is a duet with Marc Anthony and rests at No. 5 on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart this week. Tito (real name Efraín Fines Nevárez) found time to speak with Billboard from his Puerto Rico home.
You are once again a Billboard Latin Music Awards finalist this year, for Tropical Songs Artist of the Year and Latin Rhythm Albums Artist of the Year, Solo. What does it mean to be a Billboard finalist?
I've always said this publicly: The Billboard Awards mean a lot because as part of [reggaetón duo] Héctor & Tito at the beginning of my career, we were the first urban act to ever win a Billboard Latin Music Award. In fact, one of the pictures I have in my studio is with that album, "La Reconquista," which represents that Billboard award to me. Then, I lived a second, very important stage with 2009's El Patrón, which gave me a record number of nominations and eight awards.
You started off as a reggaetón act but now are more of a tropical fusion act. How do you see yourself?
I'm an artist of the people. Someone who can give a broad range of listeners what they want to hear. I played in San Francisco and Los Angeles a couple of weekends ago, and the first rows were full of beautiful women in their 20s and 30s and also beautiful women in their 50s and 60s. I've been able to do that with my musical mix, which is tropical, urban, and also has merengue and pop. But I consider myself an artist of the people.
Your current single, " Por qué les mientes," tells the story of a man wronged by his ex. You perform it with Marc Anthony, which has led many to speculate it was written for him. Was that the case?
It's a true story, but not Marc's story [laughs]. I've always been very close to Marc and we have a very good friendship. But I never get involved in his personal affairs. It's simply a great song that I thought Marc could sing with me. And beyond the fact that it's a good song and Marc is an icon, I think listeners didn't expect this combination. It's a song that rings true to so many people, and it's the story of so, so many people, that it really resonated. Not just here: It's been No. 1 in many countries.
What's next for the album?
We're filming the video of "Tu Dolor," the new single, in early April. We'll be releasing other songs throughout the year.
What would I be surprised to learn about you?
That I sometimes get up at 2 a.m., 3 a.m., I turn on the shower, and I love to write while the shower is running. I need to hear it to get inspired.
What do you do when you're home and don't' have to worry about work?
I love to cook. I love to have my friends over for a barbecue, season all the meats and cook a great sofrito [a mix of ingredients sautéed into a sauce and use to accompany many different Latin foods]. So that when people come to my house they'll say, "Hey, Tito is also a good cook!"

Obama: Iraq Embassy Staff "on their own to find way home' Hillary confirms she authorized only "one way ticket" citing her 'Benghazi Protocol."
by captain america on 16/06/14 at 12:24 pm
Palm Springs, CA – (satireworld.com)
Satire World staff finally cornered President Obama after his Palm Springs round of golf to discuss the fate of beleaguered embassy staff in war torn Iraq.
As SW reported in the last few days the $750M dollar embassy employing 5500 (!) people has been target by mortars, scud missiles from Palestine, small arms fire, and in the latest development, severed heads of loyalists catapulted into the compound from medieval siege weapons.
Pleas for added security and evacuation from the staff has so far met with a White House response described by terrified employees as 'tepid" after Obama said 'I'll have to think it over after the weekend"
Obama did request a budget hearing on fuel consumption for the Air Force, 'saying, these unreasonable transportation demands are only leading to more pollution of our skies, our air, our water, the unreasonable demand on VA health services, not to mention curtailing my own unlimited gas allowance!"
Al Gore backed the President's statement saying "When the going gets tough, the tough should either walk home or ride a bike!" John Kerry chimed in saying,"hey, the dumb bastards all volunteered and knew the risks…said a while back if they didn't go to an Ivy League school they'd all wind up in Iraq some day in a body bag!"
Chuck Hagel's orders for the aircraft carrier "George Bush" to the region was countermanded by Chief of Staff Valerie Jarrett after Michelle refused to give any credit to the former President in the days leading up to the mid term elections after seeing the headline in the New York Post: "George Bush set to rescue surrounded embassy staff while Obama putz (sic) around!"
So far the only reaction to the crisis is a pledge from "Rolling Thunder" to mobilize over 200,000 armed Viet Nam vet bikers for a "Brotherhood Crusade" to turn back the insurgents, recapture all the arms we supplied that were abandoned, erect a giant cross in Fallujah, install Ted Cruz as the US Ambassador AND Secretary of State, and erecting a bill board in Mosul saying: 4800 Dead Heroes means IT REALLY DOES MATTER NOW!
Hillary Clinton was unavailable for comment as she was "up to her arse" in book signings.

Did you know? Mimic Vat, Chromatic Lantern, Commander
Did you know? Foil Mimic Vat is up to $15! This card was only $6 less than 6 months ago, meaning you had 2 years to pick this up before commander demand brought it up to its current price. I only managed to acquire 2 copies in that time, and wish I had pursued them more aggressively. Not every commander card can pull this stunt though. A lot of commander gold has been reprinted in the base sets in the last few years. Gilded Lotus, Akroma's Memorial, and Darksteel Citadel come to mind. Akroma's Memorial from M13 has...Read More

Our Main Worship
St Mary Magdalene Church
In the past the Parish of Monkton has been linked with Cotleigh and then more latterly, with Upottery and Luppitt. It became a member parish of the Honiton Team Ministry in 1984. It lost its rectory (now the Monkton Court Hotel) in 1904.
The parish comprises a small rural and predominately farming community, (Population approx. 130) The main A 30 road remains a major obstacle to village communication. Plans to bypass the village were shelved some years ago. In recent months it has been noticed that the size of lorries coming through the village has increased which we suspect is due to the Iron Bridge having been bypassed and the link to the M5 established.
The Church is in a good state of repair with extensive work having been carried out on the tower in 1997. The churchyard grass is cut diligently by one of the churchwardens.
Medieval West Tower, much renewed – the rest rebuilt by Hayward after a fire in 1863 – a characteristically austere design.
Windows with flush tracery, two buttresses on the South side.
The East truss of the nave roof effectively forms the arch into the narrow stepped-up chancel. Stained glass East window of 1874 by Morris & Co., designed by Burne-Jones. Christ, The virgin and St John erected in the memory of the Gard family.
Four North windows and three South windows, of 1879, on the nave and Tower windows, of 1892, also by Morris & Co.
There was also Morris & Co. stencilling on the walls – now lamentably hidden by colour-wash .
Monkton Church first had electricity in 1955.

THERE is some decent action at Sandown Park on Saturday, where punters get the chance to boost the coffers for Royal Ascot.
The highlight is the opening Randox Health Scurry Stakes (2.05pm), the race in which Battaash announced himself as a future star 12 months ago.
This Listed prize has been won by some classy sprinters over the past decade and Im hopeful Owen Burrows MOKAATIL can add his name to the roll of honour.
Quite highly tried as a juvenile, he was fourth in the Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot on just his second career start.
He was third in the Group Three Cornwallis Stakes at Newmarket in October and then travelled well for a long way on his reappearance behind Main Desire at York last month.
Jim Crowley takes the ride and from the plum draw in stall one, he should go well at 5/1.
Im hoping its going to be a good day for Crowley as I also like his mount SHAMSHON in the following randox.com Handicap (2.35pm).
Regular readers may remember I tipped him up at Epsom earlier in the season when he was a hugely unlucky runner-up.
Hes now 2lb lower and his form figures over this course and distance read 4341, so he could be ready to strike.
Like everyone else Im hugely excited about next weeks Royal Ascot.
We will be covering all five days in The Punter and lets hope we can pick out some decent winners.
If you want to go on the Saturday, all general admission tickets have now sold out but there are some places in the fine dining restaurants, while a handful of private boxes are still available during the week.

Unfortunately for those who spend hundreds of dollars on wrinkle creams, its been shown that the $400 cream gives you the exact same ingredients as the $40 cream. This being the case, then why would you ever consider spending hundreds on a wrinkle cream ever again?
Oxytokin is a powerful wrinkle cream that is designed to help your fight against fine lines, wrinkles, and dark circles. Oxytokin also helps to keep your skin hydrated and protected! Oxytokin uses the same ingredients you find in the $400 cream just at a lower price and higher quality!

I Can Feel The Abundance of God's Love
I found this video because I was in a really lousy mood after coming back from my errands. I was so annoyed by those trashy and rude people who made my morning miserable. I came home and I started going onto the internet wanting to know why there were so many trashy and cruel people, then I stumbled upon this video about a dog and a seemingly autistic kid with down syndrome. Now I totally have this heart warming feeling, feel at peace, grateful and even inspired. As if, God is somehow showing me a message.

Robert E Lee House Arlington Cemetery Virginia - DC
Robert E. Lee lost possession of this home when the law was changed on property tax payments that required the owner to "appear in person" to make the payment to the local government. That of course was not possible as he was the commanding general leading the Confeserate Forces at the time during the American Civil War.
The Union army forces then turned the property into a burial ground for deceased soldiers.

Painted Toenails
Annaliese showed interest in my painted toenails and it made me wonder if she was old enough for me to paint hers too? So, I sat Annaliese down and asked her if she wanted me to paint her toes. She smiled and nodded her head. How could I say no? So, I began to paint her little toenails. She was very still and took it all in. She then helped me blow on her nails to help them dry. All week long she would point to her nails to whomever was around and say, "pretty". Now when they start to wear off she grabs my hand and walks me into the bathroom and she points to the cabinet where I keep the polish. Apparently this is something she will be doing for the rest of her life!

Annaliese LOVES her doll
When Bobby & I got away for our anniversary night away from the kids, Sandy brought Annaliese a new baby doll. Annaliese fell in love with her! From that point forward she has been attached to that thing!

Eleven Years!
Wow! Where does time go? In August, Bobby & I celebrated eleven years of marriage! That is unbelievable to me. Sometimes it feels just like yesterday that we got married, and other times it feels like we've always been together!

All about Ethan
I just love this boy! He is such a delight! His smile lights up a room and melts my heart!
Annaliese was taking her nap and Ethan told me to take some pictures of him "acting crazy". What a ham!

Spanking Down The Highway 4Tuesday, July 6, 2010
Spanking Down The Highway 4
Stars: Wendy, Jacqueline
The Mardi Gras party rages through the French Quarter of New Orleans every February. And Raven Hill Studios, the premier authentic spanking production company had the cameras rolling, catching not only the breast flashing, but also convincing naughty, naked girls to experience some old fashioned spankings! Jacqueline, a normally shy Texas girl though nothing baring her breasts to strangers on the street, in return for strands of beads. We talked her into our RV, and out of all her clothes, and got her to submit to three, five-minute bare-naked spankings. Her tight young ass is blasted good and hard with an over-the-knee hand spanking, and strong, stinging paddling, and a welt-raising caning. Then, petite, friendly Wendy, all the way from Ohio, was looking for a wild night of drinking, flashing and partying. She got both, plus and total butt blistering! We talked her into the RV and got her stripped down to her birthday suit. Then it was over the knee

There's been a lot of polls out recently, but what do Londoners really think of Jeremy Corbyn and Theresa May?
We hit the streets and asked members of the public to condense their thoughts of the two leaders in a single word.
The people decided Corbyn and May were "weird", "scared", "yaaay", "strong" and "cute" - among other things.

Plan for success with DCIM
Plan for success with DCIM
IT managers thinking about investing in their facilities' futures should consider a data center infrastructure management system that meets their evolving needs. DCIM solutions offer managers real-time data and analytics that can be crucial to data center operation. These tools can display a complete inventory of the facility's assets, including data room temperature and space utilization. By analyzing these characteristics and determining where energy flows throughout the building, IT managers can have a better idea of where to concentrate budgetary allocations.
DCIM can help with several parts of data center operations, but it especially assists with capacity and budget planning as managers look over investment possibilities and the general well-being of their facilities, and the market is thriving as more managers decide to implement DCIM solutions. A 2014 study by 451 Research predicted that the market for DCIM software would grow at an annual compound rate of 27 percent through 2018, reaching a revenue of $1.7 billion. Data center operation depends on several variables, including power, cooling and space utilization. Being able to visualize all facility assets is of the utmost importance.
"Without this information, data center managers have to rely on guesswork to make key decisions on how much equipment can be placed into a rack," Data Center Knowledge contributor Michael Potts wrote. "Too little equipment strands valuable data center resources […]. Too much equipment increases the risk of shutdown due to exceeding the available resources."
How can DCIM tools help operators avoid the situations Potts described? Let's take a look.
Capacity planning
Energy is one of the biggest costs in the data center. According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, U.S. data centers are on track to use a total of 140 billion kilowatt-hours of energy by 2020, and all that power is getting expensive - both on the environment and on data center operators. Managers are constantly looking for ways to make their facilities more efficient. This is where DCIM comes in. By utilizing the data analytics provided by successful DCIM solutions, data centers can minimize or even eliminate inefficiencies on the server room floor, according to Network World contributor Jon Temple.
Through predictive analysis of key performance data gathered from every corner of the data center, managers gather important information that can be used to make capacity planning decisions. In this way, the predictions made by DCIM tools can help companies better prepare for the future by giving them an indication of when they should purchase new power distribution units or more efficient cooling equipment.
Budget planning
By giving IT managers a top-down view of their facilities, DCIM software allows them to see which areas of the data center will need more attention. These tools can accurately create "what if" scenarios based on collected data that can predict how much energy or cooling capacity is being utilized in different areas. In this way, DCIM can help managers know where to allocate their funds for the coming year. For instance, if they notice that one part of the server room shows a higher temperature than the rest of the facility, they can take the proper steps to analyze why, exactly, this hot spot exists and invest in more efficient cooling systems in the future.
DCIM systems like the ones offered by Geist can be an essential piece to the data center puzzle. By investing in management tools, companies can be prepared for the future. Budget and capacity planning is made possible by pinpointing where investments need to be made and where energy can be conserved - proving that management software can quickly become a crucial part of data center operations.

MANCHESTER, N.H. – A misfiring offense and a stark free-throw differential made it difficult for Felician University to recover from a slow start in the Golden Falcons' 76-59 non-conference loss to host Southern New Hampshire University on Sunday afternoon at the SNHU Fieldhouse.
Freshman guard Sophia Guerrier (Waltham, Mass.) came off the bench to top Felician (2-3) with 15 points, nine rebounds and four steals. Southern New Hampshire junior forward Kylie Lorenzen (Holliston, Mass.) matched Guerrier for game-high honors, producing 15 points and nine rebounds in 24 minutes.
Felician shot 29.3 percent from the field for the game, including 8 of 28 (28.6 percent) from three-point range. The Golden Falcons also sank only 7 of 17 free-throw attempts (41.2 percent). The visitors committed 29 personal fouls, seeing three players disqualified, and were outscored, 24-7, at the charity stripe.
SNHU (4-2) scored nine consecutive points to open a 13-4 lead after 5 ½ minutes of play. The Penmen were up buy as many as 12 points in the opening period before exiting the quarter with a 21-11 advantage. With 5:47 left before halftime, following a long scoring drought by both sides, Penmen sophomore Victoria Dean (Plymouth, Mass.) sunk a three-point field goal for a 13-point bulge. The Golden Falcons answered with a three from Bionca Chambers (New Milford, N.J.), and entered halftime trailing, 32-23.
SNHU took full control in the early stages of the second half. A three-point play from Lorenzen at the 5:40 mark put the hosts ahead, 44-26, and her lay-up with 1:29 remaining restored that margin. Briana Camara (Fall River, Mass.) beat the third-quarter buzzer with a driving lay-up and the Penmen led, 54-37 to start the fourth. The lead grew as high as 22 points on two occasions in the final period.
Felician put forth a strong defensive effort in defeat, blocking nine shots and helping cause 23 SNHU turnovers. Golden Falcon junior Kayla Diaz (Clifton, N.J.) tallied a career-high nine points with three steals, and Chambers turned in seven points, three assists, and three blocks.
Catherine Stinson (Lynn, Mass.) scored 10 points and Sarah Deyo (Attleboro, Mass.) supplied nine points and eight rebounds for the Penmen, who had 13 players score. SNHU rolled up a 57-41 rebounding advantage.
Felician has five days off before beginning Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference play by traveling to nationally-ranked Caldwell University for a 1 p.m. tip-off on December 2.
