Sharing pictures of beautiful wildflowers from Missouri.? Oklahoma is growing on me, but sadly, I haven?t seen any of these flowers growing here in the Sooner State.

Originally shared at Urban Science Adventures! ? on July 1, 2009, Wordless Wednesday: Wild Flowers.

~~~~~~~~~~

Butterfly milkweed ? a prairie wildflower plant. It is found in prairies and sunny grasslands. Caterpillars love this plant, hence the name.

**********

A type of Polygynum grass, I call it Mormon Grass (because the Latin name means many wives). It is a shade tolerant grass.

*****

Daisy ? a prairie plant wildflower.

********

Echinacea, also called purple coneflower ? a prairie plant wildflower.

Both purple coneflowers and daisies are found in grasslands and fields. They are members of the Asteridea or Star flower arrangement family.

********

America lotus ? a water plant. This is the flower of the ?water lily pads?.

These photos were taken of naturally occurring wild flowers growing in local city parks and nature areas in St. Louis, Missouri.

Charlie Brooker has 'spoken to writers' about more Black Mirror - Metro

The mini-series, which focused on a dystopian Britain enslaved by reality shows, social media and brain implants, was a big hit with viewers but Brooker has remained tight-lipped over whether there will be a second series.

Speaking at this week's Arqiva British Academy Television Awards, he said: 'The idea always has been that we'll make it a playhouse, almost. There's lots of writers we've spoken to... not that we're doing any more!'

The journalist and screenwriter prefers to keep his projects short and sweet, having previously only made one series of subculture satirising comedy Nathan Barley.

Brooker said he was pleased with the reaction to Black Mirror from viewers but felt snubbed by its omission from the TV Bafta list of nominations.

'I was very pleased [with the reaction] - pity BAFTA didn't seem to enjoy it!' he told Digital Spy. 'Of course, I'm going to feel like it was snubbed, cos I did it. [But] it was a strong flavoured show... and I know it's not going to be to everyone's taste.'

Charlie couldn't confirm what projects he is working on in the coming year but said there was definitely more creative output in the pipeline.

He added: 'I don't know if I've got anything I can talk about, but I'm writing a lot of scripts. I don't think I'm allowed to say what anything is yet, but there's lots of things still to come.'

Blowing in the wind: How hidden flower features are crucial for bees

Tuesday, May 29, 2012

As gardeners get busy filling tubs and borders with colourful bedding plants, scientists at the Universities of Cambridge and Bristol have discovered more about what makes flowers attractive to bees rather than humans. Published today in the British Ecological Society's journal Functional Ecology, their research reveals that Velcro-like cells on plant petals play a crucial role in helping bees grip flowers ? especially when the wind gets up.

The study focuses on special cells found on the surface of petals, whose stunning structure is best seen under an electron microscope. According to lead author, Dr Beverley Glover: "Many of our common garden flowers have beautiful conical cells if you look closely ? roses have rounded conical petal cells while petunias have really long cells, giving petunia flowers an almost velvety appearance, particularly visible in the dark-coloured varieties."

Glover's group previously discovered that when offered snapdragons with conical cells and a mutant variety without these cells, bees prefer the former because the conical cells help them grip the flower. "It's a bit like Velcro, with the bee claws locking into the gaps between the cells," she explains.

Compared with many garden flowers, however, snapdragons have very complicated flowers; bees have to land on a vertical face and pull open a heavy lip to reach the nectar so Glover was not surprised that grip helps. But she wanted to discover how conical cells help bees visiting much simpler flowers.

"Many of our garden flowers like petunias, roses and poppies are very simple saucers with nectar in the bottom, so we wanted to find out why having conical cells to provide grip would be useful for bees landing on these flowers. We hypothesised that maybe the grip helped when the flowers blow in the wind."

Using two types of petunia, one with conical cells and a mutant line with flat cells, Glover let a group of bumblebees that had never seen petunias before forage in a large box containing both types of flower, and discovered they too preferred the conical-celled flowers.

They then devised a way of mimicking the way flowers move in the wind. "We used a lab shaking platform that we normally use to mix liquids, and put the flowers on that. As we increased the speed of shaking, mimicking increased wind speed, the bees increased their preference for the conical-celled flowers," she says.

The results, Glover says, give ecologists a deeper insight into the extraordinarily subtle interaction between plant and pollinator. "Nobody knew what these cells were for, and now we have a good answer that works for pretty much all flowers," she concludes. "It's is too easy to look at flowers from a human perspective, but when you put yourself into the bee's shoes you find hidden features of flowers can be crucial to foraging success."

Classic Cars Collection: Insurance rates with respect to car types

A large number of drivers usually get surprised when they learn about different insurance rates for different car types. They think that it doesn't matter whether it's a small car or a hot rod as long as they have a good driving record and don't get in trouble in traffic. With all that, insurance companies have a different perspective on things and they will charge you with different premiums depending on the type of car you're trying to insure. That's why you should always bear in mind the following characteristics of each car type and make your decisions correctly if you want your auto insurance budget to be limited:

Small vehicles
Small sized vehicles are usually very affordable and rather comfortable in the conditions of a big city with heavy traffic. They typically have low engine volumes, top speed, get stolen quite rarely and are inexpensive to handle at repair. Even so, auto insurance can be a bit expensive for small cars because they tend to get damaged very bad during accidents. Basic physics aren't on small cars' side during collisions because the smaller object tends to get the most damage regardless of the safety features the manufacturer has included. That's why costly claims tend to arise more often with such vehicles, and the insurers respond with respective pricing.

Mid-sized cars
Mid-class vehicles are often considered to be the safest and the cheapest to insure. Naturally, it depends on the particular make and model, but the in general these cars are quite safe, have low repair costs and theft rates, and tend to get damaged much less than smaller vehicles during an accident. That is why you will usually get the best auto insurance rates for this car type.

SUVs
Large cars, trucks and SUVs that fall into the same size category are certainly very comfortable and give you a whole different perspective in traffic. But the size can be a problem with these vehicles. Due to their increased mass as compared to other vehicle types SUVs tend to produce more damage during accidents, especially involving other cars. Third party liability claims with SUVs are likely to be higher because the other car tends to get damaged quite bad and there are likely to be injuries as well. Added to the higher repair costs for such vehicles SUVs are usually more expensive to insure.

Sports vehicles
Fast sports cars often look like a great option for car buyers since they are both cool and cheap. However, when it comes to insuring a typical sports car, you will actually have a hard time getting cheap auto insurance because insurers tend to classify such cars as high risk. High top speed, engine volume, elevated theft and accident rates as well as the likelihood to produce a very serious car crash all contribute to expensive auto insurance rates for sports vehicles.

Expensive cars
It may look natural for expensive cars to be costly in terms of insurance. But it has nothing to do with their initial price as there are other reasons to charge higher rates for such vehicles. First of all, they are usually very costly to repair, often requiring exclusive and overpriced repair parts that are hard to find in an ordinary repair shop. Besides, such vehicles are often targeted by car thieves and burglars due to their value and exclusivity. That's why getting cheap auto insurance for any luxury car is problematic.

The future of the euro is at stake: Spanish deputy PM

MADRID (Reuters) - Europe must move quickly with measures to pull Spain back from the brink of a debt crisis, with the future of the euro common currency at stake, Spanish Deputy Prime Minister Soraya Saenz de Santamaria said.

Saenz, a long-time politician in the centre-right People's Party, spoke with Reuters Editor-at-Large Harold Evans during a critical week for Spain as it seeks to fund a 19-billion-euro rescue of one of its biggest banks and the country's autonomous regions face a liquidity crunch.

Spain's borrowing cost hovered close to an unsustainable level on Tuesday - the yield on the benchmark 10-year government bond was 6.5 percent - as investors worry costly rescues of the regions and banks will push Spain's finances over the edge.

Spain has made enormous strides in containing its deficit and making its economy more competitive, Saenz said, but it needs European-wide measures to give confidence to the common currency and restore calm to markets.

"If the EU doesn't reinforce the euro zone with some sort of mechanism, it's not about who leaves (the euro), it's about the EU itself. What is the EU without the euro?" Saenz, 40, said at the prime minister's complex, Moncloa, on the outskirts of Madrid on Monday.

"It's about the future of the euro."

Spain is asking for huge sacrifices from its citizens she said, with budget savings this year of more than 45 billion euros, which have meant spending cuts in schools and hospitals.

At the same time, she noted, interest payments on debt this year will rise to 30 billion euros.

"For states that are making the effort it's not possible to explain to their citizens that what they save through austerity will then be spent on higher interest payments on debt," said Saenz, a lawyer by profession and one of Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy's closest advisors.

Meanwhile, almost one in four Spanish workers is jobless and unemployment is expected to rise even further in the coming months as the economy contracts again after barely emerging from its last recession.

"Countries which are doing reforms need to find a way to be rewarded rather than punished," she said, pointing to her government's overhaul of labor market rules to make companies more competitive, as well as its reforms of the financial sector.

SWIFT EUROPEAN ACTION NEEDED

Spain says it can foot the rising bill to rescue its banks on its own, after a property market crash left them with more than 184 billion euros in sour assets.

And the government is expected to announce later this week guarantees that will help the country's 17 autonomous regions refinance their debt.

Saenz declined to say what measures European institutions should take, saying "the European Central Bank is an independent institution."

"We would like the decision to be taken as quickly as possible, with agility. That's better for everyone, not just for Spain. We have to clear up doubts," Saenz said.

On the European stage Spain has pushed for immediate solutions such as more ECB liquidity or purchases of Spanish sovereign debt on secondary markets by the central bank.

For the short-term Spain does not foresee any euro area agreement on joint debt, or eurobonds.

Saenz said voters who go to the polls in Greece and France on June 17 must know that Europe as a whole will back countries that are tightening their belts to meet Europe-agreed deficit cutting targets.

"I trust that (the European institutions) are very aware, especially at this moment, that they have to send a clear message to countries that have elections," she said.

"The message from the EU should be that serious governments are treated with the same seriousness that they are acting with. This is a good message for citizens who need to take political decisions," she said.

GOOD NEWS ON SPAIN

Saenz said that while markets are focused on Spain's risks there is also a lot of good news that should be taken into account.

The PP has an absolute majority in Parliament, which means it can act swiftly to pass reforms.

Under Rajoy's government's repeated threat of sanctions, the regions submitted very austere budgets for this year.

Spain badly missed its deficit target last year, it came in at 8.9 percent of gross domestic product rather than 6.0 percent, mainly because of overspending at the regional level.

Although the collapse of the construction sector left the economy with a gaping hole, Saenz said there are bright areas and that Spain's indices of competitiveness are improving.

"We have a very internationalized economy, exports have been growing in recent years and new market niches have been opened," said Saenz.

She said that other European countries should fall in line with Spain's conviction that austerity and growth are not mutually exclusive.

"You need fiscal consolidation in order to grow," she said.

Mother and Daughter Being Sued by Their Former Pastor - Pastor Claims He Was Told to Sue by John MacArthur's Church

The man at left is Chuck O'Neal, pastor of Beaverton Grace Bible Church.

Why is Chuck's picture here on the Watchdog blog? Well, as reported by Portland TV station KATU, Chuck is suing one of his former church members.

What did this former church member, Julie Anne Smith, do in order to receive the wrath of Chuck and his lawyer? Well, Julie Anne started a blog about her church and her pastor to document the spiritual abuse that she says she endured at the hands of the good pastor and his church.

Chuck wants $500,000 in damages from Julie Anne, Julie Anne's daughter, and a few other blog commenters that have criticized Chuck for what Julie claims is spiritual abuse she has endured after being kicked out of Chuck's church.

No good pastor would sue a church member without invoking some sort of biblical justification, right? Chuck compares his situation to that of the Apostle Paul, who appealed to Caesar when he was accused of crimes. Read what Chuck posted on Julie Anne's review site explaining why he filed his defamation lawsuit:

"After seeking counsel from a pastor on staff with Grace Community Church (under Pastor John MacArthur) and reading him several excerpts from JulieAnne's endless defamation, he recommended that we FILE A LAWSUIT in an appeal to Caesar as the Apostle Paul did when falsely accused of crimes against God and the state."

Of course!? Chuck justifies his lawsuit against Julie and her daughter by claiming he is only doing what the Apostle Paul did in Acts 25! Forget that Paul was being pursued by powerful religious leaders who wanted to kill him, and that Julie Anne is, well, a stay-at-home, home-schooling mom who is writing about her former church and pastor that she believes has spiritually abused her family and other families.

Chuck has it completely backwards. In this saga, he and his church represent the Jewish leaders seeking Paul's (Julie Anne's) head because they don't like what Julie Anne is saying, while Julie Anne is more like the Apostle Paul who is merely doing what her faith calls her to do: to call out and expose what she perceives to be a false teacher and a spiritual abuser. Chuck, you're the religious zealot who is trying to silence a Christian, Julie Anne is the Apostle Paul doing what Christ has commanded her to do.

Julie Anne says that when she and her family left the church, her friends were told to end all contact with her. Yep, good old-fashioned "church discipline" once again, perpetrated against the evil-doer who dares to criticize the pastor. Julie says in the KATU news report below:

"If I went to Costco or any place in town, if I ran into somebody, they would turn their heads and walk the other way....All we did was asked questions. We just raised concerns. There's no sin in that."

As Julie is finding out, just as I found out 3 1/2 years ago, in today's modern evangelical church one of THE biggest sins is asking questions and raising concerns in your church, especially if you do it in a way that is not approved by the holy men of God. And God help you if you publicly criticize your pastor; that will get you shown the exit faster than if you are an embezzler or child molester.

Perhaps one of the most interesting aspects of this case is Chuck "the Apostle Paul" O'Neal claiming that filing a defamation lawsuit was a course of action recommended to him by John MacArthur's church, Grace Community Church. I hope as the press continues to cover this story that they follow-up with John MacArthur. I don't believe for a second that John MacArthur or any of his staff members would stand by Chuck O'Neal's decision to sue a mother and her daughter. I hope Julie's lawyer raises this as an issue in Chuck's deposition and interrogatories, and finds out just who at Grace Community Church was advising Chuck, and I hope they depose that minister to find out if perhaps Chuck "the Apostle Paul" O'Neal defamed Julie in the process.

I think Chuck O'Neal is showing himself to be a coward here. Why on earth would O'Neal consult with John MacArthur's church in this matter? How could John MacArthur's church staff possibly know all of the facts of Julie's experience and her claims of spiritual abuse at the hands of Chuck and his church that she chronicles on her blog and at her Google review site? Does Chuck need the approval and blessing of John MacArthur to sue one of his members?

And lastly, let me just say this, and perhaps this will get me added to Chuck's defamation complaint filed with the court:? Chuck O'Neal is a hypocrite. If you click here, you can read some of Chuck's complaint filed against Julie. Julie was merely expressing her views of Chuck and Beaverton Grace Bible Church; she is doing what she as a Christian is supposed to do. She is calling out what she believes to be a false teacher. In fact, Julie is just doing what Chuck himself does in his sermons. He calls out people by name who he thinks are false teachers and who are harming Christians.

If you go back and listen to one of Chuck's sermons entitled "Emergent Church Apostasy - Wolves in Our Midst" - Chuck goes after emergent church leaders Doug Pagitt, Brian Mclaron, and Rob Bell for their false teachings. Chuck says that Brian Mclaron "serves the devil", he claims all three men are "wolves in sheep's clothing", he calls them "false prophets", and says Rob Bell is a "dangerous man". It is a very scathing sermon and he attacks these men's motives and their character and their ministries. And no doubt Chuck will say that he is doing it because he is called by God to call out and expose what he perceives to be false teachers.

For Chuck to file a lawsuit against Julie Anne for criticizing religious leaders, while Chuck himself uses his pulpit to criticize harshly religious leaders, makes Chuck a hypocrite. And we know what Jesus thinks about religious hypocrites. Chuck, whether you like it or not, Julie Anne Smith is just as called of God as you are to expose what she believes to be false and harmful teachers.?

Finally, Julie Anne, Happy Mother's Day to you, and thank you for not caving in to the pressure and cult tactics employed by your church, and for standing strong and daring to write about your experience at the hands of your church and pastor. The best thing you can do is to not be silent, to speak of what has been done to you and your family and to speak the truth even if your former pastor and church hate you for it.

You are doing God's work

4 Sleeps Till Mexico: Baby,Toddler & Family Checklist ? le petit r?ve

Whut whuuuuuut.

Lately I?ve teetering on this edge on this precipice leading to doom. The kind of doom that smells distinctly of burning. Or rather burn-out. Which is why I can barely contain my anticipation to borad a plane bound for the Riviera Mayan. It?s our first vacation as a family of four. It?s the first time the mister and I have ever ben to an all inclusive resort together. So thanks sister-in-law for having a destination wedding!

Packing up for a week of sun and sand with two littles is no easy feat, that which I can more or less glean. We?ve packed up our van many a time fore more local road-tripping, camping or touring with the mister with his band when accommodations and locations allow. This trip however ? logically calls for some extra special organizing and planning. Which should all start from a list, right?

Lists are shiny, golden paths to success. For those who don?t know that?y?all get with the program! So, this shall be my own personal list that I share with all of you momma?s out there who are about to embark on a similar journey with smalls in tow.

Top 10 List Packer For Those With Littles: By Land, By Plane, By Beach

1. iPad, iPhones and MacBooks.?(We?ll also be working ever so slightly. Thus, the life of a an entrepreneur. There is no such thing as a true vacation.) Also??Straight up not gonna even pretend we?re going to make crafts and sing songs the entire time we?re on the plane or in the car. Big ?ole, yea right!? To that one. On that note, earphones.
2. Clothing for the littles: Lots of onsies for Abby, sundresses and rompers. Lots of shorts and t-shirts and tanks for Wyndham. A couple pairs of socks for each and a couple pairs of p.j.?s It?s stinkin? hot in Mexico this time of year, so most nights they?ll be sleeping in nothing but a dipe. 1 pair of kicks and sandals for Wyndham. SUN-HATS and swimsuits. 1 hoody or sweater, 1 long sleeve and one pair of pants/leggings for each of them. Just in case. Abby?s moccasins and sandals. Abby?s hair?accessories. If I forget them she?ll be seriously peeved. All 10 months of her. Their wedding outfits.
3. Clothing for us. I dont need to go into too much detail here, just aiming for coolness and comfort, with a modicum of style and enough knickers to last the week. I?ll probably need an?embarrassing?amount of time to pick out a few shoes/sandals. Not a whole bag of them like I did when I went to Blissdom. Ahem. (It was a small bag. Sayin?.) I should also remember our swimsuits,?and our stylin? straw sun-hats. No, they don?t match.
4. Toiletries. The regular stuff and above all else:?natural sunblock for the kiddies, our face and body sunscreens and aloe vera gel ? just in case. I always pack toiletries in big ziplock bags to avoid disaster. I?m sure there are some properly nifty zip up bags for this action, which I don?t need to wander around finding at this point in time. I still haven?t found a dress for the wedding. The mister and I are the hosts. Need dress now. Whatever hair?accessories/product I deem necessary to keep my soon to be frazzled and curly au naturel beach fro looking sexy, wild and hawt. That?s what I?m going for.
5. Ergo carrier and a sling. Absolute must haves. Slings are so thin, they barely need any packing room ? and are the fastest, coolest (less fabric), choice in baby-wearing. Minimal support = great for short wearing time. The ergo is best for longer wearing periods and also sports that dandy sun cover.
6. A few favourite (small) toys and books. Also, crayons, markers, stickers and construction paper. A travel craft kit containing some pipe cleaners, a small glue, washi tape, some popsicle sticks, small pop poms, feathers, a few sheets of tissue paper, a couple of bingo dabbers, macaroni, string and toddler scissors. We?ll miss the paint for the week, but something tells me we?ll be just fine. The resort we are staying at has a toy rental system and an awesome Fisher Price playroom. Plus, you know ? we are on the Mayan Riviera! Hello!
7. Diapers,?swim diapers?and wipes.?Lots of wipes. Enough for the week. That?s right, you heard me ? disposable diapers. We are a cloth diapering family at home and when on vacation sans washer and dryer? Hello disposables.
8. Ready-made bottles for our time traveling, (Abby), water for both and milk for Wyndham. Wyndham has his own thermos for his drinks and according to TSA Standards, we should be all good. Additional liquids needed for babies and toddlers may be packed in checked bags. For a?full list of?guidelines, click here.?If you?re looking for even more?additional?information on flying with baby food and milk, I found this article informative and helpful.?Having a medium sized soft cooler bag that will fit everything to keep it fresh is key, so yes, I have one of those.
9. Night light and duct tape (for taping up cords and covering outlets in our suite). Candles, smudge, and our mini Boombox portable speaker.
10. Snacks, baby food, etc. We have a few staples that I am not sure of whether or not we will have immediate access to. For example, avocados (have every nutrient we humans need!) and?bananas are like calming magic food -?especially?with a tired or low-sugar wailing toddler. Our other top staples are PC organic rice husks and their fruit/veggie soft and chewy snacks. These will be key for lift offs and landings to keep little mouths working to ward off ear pain, which I myself am?susceptible?to. We don?t really need to worry about bringing?pureed baby food for Abby, she latched on to baby-led weaning at around 8 months and hasn?t looked back. We are aware that the food at the resort probably won?t have the organic fruits and veggies we are used to ? so we will just roll with it.

There could be a number 11 on this list?a stroller. I am not sold on bringing one at this point. Everyone is saying yes, so perhaps I should listen. It?s just that Abby loves to be worn and our stroller will just add to the stuff we need to check in, lug around etc. I would really appreciate your advice on this subject. There you go! I?m asking for advice! Have at it!

Check me out. Aside from the stroller thing, I think I have it all figured out. You can laugh at me now or later, I?ll not know the difference. (Unless of course you comment, and tell me something I?ve forgotten about, which you should totally do.) This is one of the many reasons why the internets rock, and also?because?of this?.

This post is sponsored by?Disney Baby. I?ll be joining the?Disney Baby?blogging team next month, and look forward to sharing these kinds of stories (projects/ideas/etc) with you over there! Stay tuned for more details!

Lady Gaga angers Thai fans with fake Rolex comment

BANGKOK (AP) ? Lady Gaga wants to go shopping in Bangkok ? for a fake Rolex.

The singer made the comment to her 24 million Twitter followers, sparking an online uproar Thursday in Thailand where some fans called it offensive, insulting and bad for the country's image.

It's the latest publicity-making turn of events as "The Born This Way Ball" travels through Asia.

Lady Gaga's provocative lyrics and costumes have angered Christian groups in South Korea and the Philippines and Islamists in Indonesia, where the show may be banned.

Now she is stirring nationalist fervor in Thailand, where people tend to get upset when the country's seedy underworld is highlighted by outsiders.

"We are more civilized than you think," tweeted Thai DJ Surahit Siamwalla, who has a ticket to Friday's show in Bangkok but said he plans to boycott.

"She came to our home, but instead of admiring us she insulted us," said a commentator on popular Thai web board pantip.com.

Lady Gaga posted her tweet shortly after her private jet arrived Wednesday night: "I just landed in Bangkok baby! Ready for 50,000 screaming Thai monsters. I wanna get lost in a lady market and buy fake Rolex."

It is unclear what a "lady market" is but some Thai fans assumed she meant the popular outdoor Ladies Market in Hong Kong, where she already toured ? and also eyed the luxury knockoffs.

"I love this city," she tweeted April 30 after taking a Hong Kong spin class. "You can work out & buy a fake Birkin on the same street."

Not all Thai fans objected to the off-color comment. A screaming mob greeted Lady Gaga at the airport. Crowds thronged her 5-star hotel, where she signed autographs and hugged one female fan who left in tears. People have camped outside Rajamangala stadium for days, hoping to be first inside and win the prize of meeting the pop star in person.

If Lady Gaga does have time to shop in Bangkok, she'll see that the city has more to offer than just fake watches, Thai fan Nont Armarttasn sarcastically noted on his Facebook page.

"Welcome to the land of counterfeit products, love," he said. "I'm sure there are plenty of fake Gaga CDs, too."

3 Personal Branding Must-Haves | Business 2 Community

Fundamentally, the process of personal branding includes taking time to define yourself and then intentionally connecting yourself with others who likely want what you have.

The 3 essentials to personal branding

So here are three must-have parts of the personal branding process.

1. Identify your authentic qualities

What is it that you MUST be? Jessica Alba said recently in an interview that she?d only want her kids to choose acting if there was simply no other thing they could imagine doing. Meaning, acting would be there last resort because it was such a driver in their lives that nothing else would be possible. That?s a tall order for authenticity but we all have it within us.

What about yourself ? even if you?ve never expressed it to anyone ? is the quality that feels like your life force? What is it that is undeniably you ? even if that thing seems like no way to earn a living? Even, if it means disappointing everyone who expects you to do or be something else?

2. Identify what look represents you

What are you meant to look like, project, and appear to be? That would be the basis of your visual brand. Kim Kardashian can?t get away from let?s call them her curvy assets. Fundamentally, to quote Joni Mitchell, she?s sitting on her groceries. Call it glamour, trendiness, or whatever it could be; KK can never be understated, classic or demure.

What about you ? your inherent, authentic style ? wants to be revealed to us? Maybe it?s your desire to never look like anyone else, or to be dark and sophisticated, or teal and airy or blend in to a preppie crowd.

What is the you that, at least aspirationally, you want us to see as you? Remember, most celebs (read big personal brands) have stylists ? so it doesn?t have to be anything you could actually do yourself. The look of your personal brand might be something between you and your graphic designer (or creative partner) that we get when you put the right colors, shapes and typography together. It?s what you want us to ?get? when we come upon your online presence and your on-ground presence.

And it might even require some physical modification. Lose weight, gain muscle, have your nose done ? you get the range of possibilities.

3. Identify your audience, whom you want to be with or among ? maybe even above

That would be the people you can serve ?who have a need for what you need to deliver. Seth Godin calls them your tribes. Now, I call everyone you see your audience ?whether it?s one person or several thousand. It could be a certain part of the media. It could be specific people who can recommend you or buy from you. It could be your business partners or boss. Maybe people who work with you. Oprah made some big changes about her audience this year ? yes it?s a risk. But she is still such a good role model for creating a billion dollar personal brand.

Among the 7 billion of us here, who is in your tribe? Maybe it?s not the one you are born into, or even have chosen to be among for your college or career so far. Don?t let acceptance by a group be your only guide. It?s not enough that someone wants you. Who do you want to be the players in your life? Where are they? And why will they adore you?

We?re nearly halfway through 2012 ? so it?s a really good time to reflect before soldiering on with your personal branding efforts. If it?s not working for you, at least tweak what you?ve got going on ? and kill the second half. And, I mean kill in a good way.

CMGO ? Solid 47% bounce showing Huge Strength | Hot Stocks ...

We always are on a look out for minor dips and consolidations that not only gives HUGE strength to the bullish run, but gives us a BIG opportunity to scoop super undervalued shares ? and that?s exactly what we got with CMGO today, bouncing 47% higher from the lows of the day.

Anyone who sold today, just gave away monster gains by letting go of their AudioEye spinoff shares ? smart buyers will be reaping the rewards with the expected closing date at the end of the month.

Many of investors learn the hard way when some sold way too early during minor dip periods like Fuse Science (DROP) selling for a fraction of what ended up being a total gain of 83,000%. We are sure they are still banging their heads, while patient holders, turn millionaires, are soaking it all up!

Our 83,000% monster winner DROP (DEGH), had several minor pullbacks (Blue circles) just before its initial trigger breakout point to our $0.75 target and the continuation breakout towards $1.25 and 83,000% gains!

With this first minor dip out of the way, we are cleared for the next level up and at much higher prices.

Investors who sold way too early and at prices way too low, missed out on as much as 20,000% breakout trigger gains. Not to mention investors who did not act at all missing out on a potential 83,000% gainer.

CMGO is only days away from the expected spinoff shares of AudioEye and members need to know that shareholders selling CMGO prior to closing date will result in the spinoff shares being forwarded to the buyer.

?

CMGO showed super strength today jumping 47% from it?s lows to close at solid support levels of $0.02. With prices targets set by Direct Global Media?s who brought DROP from sub-pennies ($0.0015) to dollar land ($1.25), CMGO is well on track for solid 1,000%+ gains

The VoIP and the Need for QoS

The telephone is one of the most useful inventions man has ever made. It is something that made the world smaller and it is also something that modern society is continuing to use in businesses and also in homes. Since the telephone was invented, services have since improved and additional phone features are also available, such as three-way calling, or call waiting.

The telephone line is now also being used to connect to the internet. High speed internet connection through DSL is now available in most telephone companies. Today, the telecommunications industry is now taking it one step forward and developed a new kind of telephone system that is starting to gain popularity in today?s society. Imagine, with this kind of communication system, you will be able to talk to your loved ones abroad for a fraction of the cost that you will usually get in conventional landline phones. Also, features, such as call waiting, call forwarding, return call, video conferencing capabilities, caller ID and others are integrated with this particular communication system as a standard package, which means that it?s entirely free.

Free calls are also integrated with this new kind of phone system. If you are calling someone from halfway around the world, who is also subscribed to the service provider you are subscribed in, the calls will be free. It would be great if you have this kind of phone system. Today, it is now possible because of the advancement in the communications technology and this communication system is called VoIP or Voice over Internet Protocol or sometimes referred to as Internet Voice.

The reason why calls are so cheap with VoIP is that it is connected to the internet. As most people know, the internet provides a free and open communication system. Another great thing about VoIP is because the data is transmitted in a digital format in the internet, transmission and reception of voice data is faster and clearer than ever before.

The fact that VoIP has so many benefits, many people are now considering getting rid of their conventional landline phones and getting hooked up with VoIP. As you can see, VoIP is one of the latest solutions in communications technology that will allow people to make much cheaper long distance calls than conventional landline phones.

However, you have to consider that there will sometimes be hiccups in your internet connection. Because of this, it can significantly affect your VoIP phone. It will result in garbled communication or it can result in delays. This is why QoS or Quality of Service is now being integrated into VoIP to provide a solution for garbled communication.

The two main benefits of QoS for VoIP are:

? It protects VoIP on shared media
? It can prioritize VoIP

Bursty data applications will result in lower quality VoIP as well as losing 2 VoIP packets.

You also have to consider that VoIP is sensitive to delays and jitters because of the occasional internet hiccups. With QoS prioritization, it will able to minimize its effects.

QoS can maximize the quality of VoIP by controlling bursts of excess bandwidth and traffic. QoS can avoid congestion of bandwidth thus, making quality better when you use VoIP.

The quality of service should be integrated in VoIP, especially for business VoIP to avoid miscommunication or delay in communication. Today, VoIP is still considered to be in its infancy. So, with all the bugs fixed, you can expect that VoIP will be integrated with QoS.

You have to consider the fact that VoIP is still not really perfect. For this reason, you have to have QoS with your VoIP. This will definitely improve the quality of communication and also decrease the effects of delays and garbled voice signals.

VoIP has so many benefits to offer people. You just have to consider that VoIP is still a relatively new technology. So, you should expect some bugs or some hiccups when making calls. However, if you want VoIP in your business, you should consider getting QoS to improve the quality of communication.
