Introducing: Suspense
Suspense is a cute college freshman who wanted to make some extra spending money before school lets out for the summer, and figured that showing off his hot teenage body for a horny gay audience could be a fun and easy way to earn it.
Watch as I meet Suspense for the very first time and guide him through his "audition" to be in my movies. When you see what this kid is hiding under his jeans, I think you'll be as grateful as I am that he's willing to bare it all for the world to see!
Suspense explains that he was given his nickname because people never know what he's going to say or do next - and it's a nickname that definitely suits him!
I've been making movies for well over a year now, and I can honestly say that I've never filmed anyone as unique and difficult to describe as Suspense. He describes himself as a mix between a "thug" and a "nerd," something I haven't encountered before. He brags about being a "bad boy" who likes to drink, smoke weed, and party, but at the same time he comes across as a wholesome "boy next door" with a slightly nerdy side who runs track, plays basketball, and attends church on a regular basis.
Suspense's sexuality is just as confusing and intriguing as his personality. He tells me that he's "straight.....but curious."
In his interview, he shares the story about how he lost his virginity at the age of 16, and how pussy became "like crack" to him from that moment on. A self-described "sex addict," Suspense swears that he had never been the least bit attracted to guys until a few months ago, when he suddenly became curious to try something different. As he explains it, he felt so horny at one particular moment that "a girl just couldn't satisfy his need." It's fascinating to listen to Suspense's stories about his first tentative experimentations with gay sex.
After getting to know Suspense a little bit better, I was more than eager to get him out of his clothes! He strips slowly out of his clothes and at my direction strikes a few seductive poses, revealing a sexy young body that had me instantly imagining all sorts of wicked things I wanted to do with it!
Even when it's soft, Suspense's dick is a sight to behold. And when it springs to full attention, it's nothing short of breathtaking. It's also really cute the way he seems sincerely unaware that his dick is "big."
Suspense's ass is no less tempting - in fact, I'd go so far as to say it's damn near flawless (despite Suspense's claim that he thinks it's "flat"). For every admirer of the black male ass, Suspense's back-side is a feast for the eyes! And it's all the more enticing when you realize it's never been touched or licked or FUCKED!
Following his striptease, Suspense relaxes on the futon and plays with his beautiful dick as my camera admires his body in a few different positions, from a variety of angles. Eventually he blasts an impressive "nutt" onto his stomach and chest, and then wraps up his first scene with a few closing comments.
Suspense has returned to fucking females since his first awkward experimentations with gay sex. Lucky for us, he says he's still open to "trying out the thing with males.....just to see what more it can offer." He's actually still a virgin to many aspects of gay sex, but says he's open to the idea of me capturing his future explorations on camera. So let's keep our fingers crossed in the hopes that we'll be seeing much more of Suspense in the near future!
My First Interracial Threesome
Lil Luda, Michael Galletta, Shyne
Join me as I fulfill a lifelong fantasy by filming my very first threesome! This time I have TWO horny black boys all to myself for an entire afternoon! Cute high-school boy Lil Luda joins me for his very first threesome AND his first sexual experience with a white guy, and fan favorite Shyne helps me break the new kid in!
This scene is actually a "double feature" that begins with Lil Luda's solo "audition."
Lil Luda is a cute high-school kid who looks like he could easily be the rapper Ludacris's little brother. Just barely eighteen and still a few weeks away from his high school graduation (at the time this was filmed), Lil Luda has a sexy smile, fun personality, and athletic body (he runs for his high school's track team).
This is his very first porn scene, but overall he seems surprisingly calm and confident about the whole thing. After a brief interview, I instruct him to strip slowly out of his clothes. With a lot of cute, nervous laughter, he shows off his naked body for the first time on camera. There's a lot to love about this kid, but my top picks would probably be his muscular runner's legs, his thick mane of pubic hair, and his classic black-boy bubble-butt!
Lil Luda relaxes on my futon and plays with his dick while watching porn. In a couple different positions, this cute high-school track star strokes his dick until he pumps out a nice creamy load onto his stomach.
Lil Luda returns the next day for his very first action scene, which also turns out to be his first threesome and his first sexual experience with a white guy!
We kick things off with some kissing. I relish my first taste of Lil Luda's thick, juicy lips, and Lil Luda experiences his first interracial kiss. I take turns tongue-kissing Shyne and Lil Luda, and then both boys lean across me to kiss each other for the first time.
Lil Luda moves to the middle, where Shyne and I slowly strip him out of his clothes. We grope his tight young body, fondle his dick and balls, and then flip him around to feel up his perfect ass. Shyne takes his place, and Lil Luda and I undress and explore every inch of his body.
Next, Shyne and Lil Luda work together to get me out of my clothes, and now it's MY turn to be the center of attention!
"Fantasy, huh?" Lil Luda jokes, looking up at me as he and Shyne lick my nipples and play with my cock. It's amusing to witness Lil Luda's genuine curiosity and excitement as he touches a white man's body for the first time.
I stand between both boys and they take turns sucking my dick. I thrust in and out of one boy's mouth while the other boy plays with my ass. Then I pull out my dick, still soaked in saliva, and shove it in the other boy's mouth. I also lean back on the futon with my camcorder in hand and get some hot close-up shots of the two black boys slobbering on my dick and balls at the same time.
There's a generous amount of spit-mingling oral action in a variety of hot combinations: I tongue-kiss Lil Luda while Shyne sucks my dick. I tongue-kiss Shyne while Lil Luda sucks my dick. Lil Luda takes turns sucking my dick and Shyne's. Shyne takes turns sucking Lil Luda's dick and mine. I suck Shyne while he sucks Lil Luda, and later I suck Lil Luda while Shyne sucks me....
Finally, Lil Luda gets on his hands and knees and sucks my dick while Shyne penetrates him from behind. Lil Luda looks cute as hell as he takes dick on camera for the first time, and Shyne really seems to enjoy fucking that tight teenage ass while it lasts!
Unfortunately, we had to cut the fucking short due to time constraints (Lil Luda was called into work earlier than expected) and a misunderstanding between Shyne and me.
With Lil Luda on his back, Shyne and I kneel beside him and shoot two nice-sized loads across his face in a hot and messy "double facial."
The scene concludes with brief closing comments from both boys.

Introducing: DJ
DJ is a sweet-faced 18-year-old fresh out of high school, the kind of hot black teenager one can usually only desire from a distance. From the moment I first laid eyes on him, I knew I just HAD to get this beautiful boy naked in front of my camera!
DJ insisted he was too shy to expose his body to the public or have sex with an audience watching. But with a little bit of luck and A LOT of persuasion, this boy of my dreams finally agreed to do things I NEVER thought I'd be lucky enough to watch him do!
The first day that DJ came over, he swore it was only to discuss the POSSIBILITY of filming a ''solo'' scene - nothing more. He kept the book-bag he brought with him draped securely across his shoulder, and sat on the edge of my futon looking ready to leap up and flee my apartment any minute.
I tried my best to put him at ease, and as the afternoon's negotiations progressed, DJ seemed to grow more comfortable with me. After seeing one of my videos, he finally blurted out, ''Okay, I'll do a solo scene!'' As I photocopied his Driver's License (yes, he's really 18!), DJ confessed that he was literally shaking, that's how nervous he was!
This is probably my favorite out of the ''solo'' scenes I've filmed so far. Partly because DJ is just so damn cute to me, but also because of everything that led up to this happening - the thrill of conquest after a long, exhausting pursuit!
As DJ slowly strips out of his clothes, he is shy and self-conscious about showing off his body for the very first time. I can't even begin to explain how much his uncertainty and bashfulness turned me on! He gradually works up the nerve to take off all of his clothes and play with his dick for the camera....
Introducing: Da'Juan
Da'Juan
Da'Juan is a horny 19-year-old black boy with juicy-thick lips, a slim runner's body, and a dick that will have you gasping and drooling at the same time. He contacted me through X-Tube, where he's posted a few solo vids of his own ("I guess I like attention," he confesses in his pre-stroke interview). He explained that he was interested in taking his experimentation with amateur porn to another level by starring in some of my videos, and I was more than willing to do my part to help make Da'Juan's porn fantasies come true!
Da'Juan's first video-shoot begins with him sitting on my futon, visibly nervous and more than a little overwhelmed I think by the fact that in a few minutes he'll be getting totally naked in front of a complete stranger - in other words, his fantasy is about to become a reality!
I start things off with a casual interview to get better acquainted with Da'Juan and hopefully calm the poor guy's nerves.
Between frequent, anxious gulps of "Red Bull," Da'Juan explains quite matter-of-factly that he "wasn't always gay," and proceeds to tell a hot and intriguing story about his seduction into the world of gay sex and subsequent "training" at the hands of a gay guy he met through his best friend. As Da'Juan sees it, sex with guys was something he stumbled into out of horniness and boredom more than anything else. "I guess I just got bored with 'em," he shrugs, attempting to explain his relatively recent retirement from fucking pussy.
Another fascinating thing that gets revealed in this interview is Da'Juan's rigid and uncompromising adherence to his role as a "top" in gay sex. He informs me that he's a total virgin when it comes to anal penetration, and explains that he doesn't even like to have his ass licked or played with because it makes him feel too "bottomish." "It ain't what tops do," he insists.
I finally grow impatient for the moment when I'll be lucky enough to see Da'Juan's naked body, up close and in the flesh....
Da'Juan is understandably nervous as he slowly strips out of his clothes to expose his skinny but sexy young body for all to see. He gradually gains confidence as he gets used to my camera ogling him - although he's clearly embarrassed when I try to get him to show off his round, firm, ripe little "off limits" butt!
He refuses to cooperate when I beg him to spread his cheeks and expose his asshole. "I'm still takin' all this in," he mumbles apologetically, although he doesn't TOTALLY rule out the possibility that he'll show off more in future scenes.
Despite Da'Juan's shyness about showing off his ass, he still manages to put on a surprisingly hot little show. When you see what this black boy is packin' beneath his jeans, you won't blame him for his obsession with being strictly a "top"! It's truly a sight to behold, and screenshot previews simply can't do it justice!
Da'Juan pops in a porno, takes a seat on my futon, and plays with his dick until it stretches slowly into a massive python, poised and ready to strike. Da'Juan wags it heavily in the air, taunting those of us who are more than eager for a taste. At least he seems to like showing off THIS part of his body, and I capture the hot action in several positions from a few different angles. Finally, Da'Juan pumps out a thick, creamy load onto his stomach and wipes himself clean with a towel.
When I ask Da'Juan to share his thoughts about his first official porn-shoot, he smiles reflectively. "It was a good first experience," he admits. "It was thrilling. I got what I wanted [from it]."
"Well, I got what *I* wanted," I reply - and I hope you'll feel the same way!
Introducing: Dragon
Dragon is a gay ''schoolboy'' with a wholesome, boy-next-door appeal. He came by on a Friday night to film his very first solo scene for me. He has these large, puppy-dog eyes and a boyish innocence and energy that made filming him a lot of fun. He also has a bit of a country accent that I thought was kind of cute.
Like most of the guys I film, Dragon seemed really nervous at first, but grew much more comfortable and confident as the evening progressed. After a brief interview, Dragon strips slowly out of his clothes and shows off his young, athletic body.
He might have an adorable baby face, but Dragon's DICK leaves no doubt he's a MAN! And this kid's ass is no joke either! It's one of those plump, round asses that only a black boy could have. The kind that pops right out of his jeans, just BEGGING to be touched and licked and fucked!
You get to watch as Dragon lies back on my futon and strokes his thick dick until he pumps out a creamy load on his stomach.
Since filming this scene, Dragon has quickly become one of my most popular models. I knew I'd stumbled upon something special when I first met him, but even during this "audition" I don't think I had any idea just how many guys would fall head over heels for him! Witness for yourself Dragon's amateur porn debut as he gets naked for the first time ever on camera!
Introducing: Samuel
Samuel is a young African immigrant with a muscular dark-skinned body. This is his first time getting naked in front of a camera and performing for a public audience.
I begin with a casual interview to get acquainted. With a thick, sexy accent, Samuel explains his ethnic background (his mother is from Liberia and his father is from Jamaica), and tells me about his first sexual encounter with another man just several months earlier.
At first Samuel is embarrassed and reluctant to take off his clothes in front of me, but with a little coaxing he slowly strips to show off his naturally muscular young body. He soon overcomes his shyness, and ends up putting on a hot little show. With no coaching from me, he rubs his hard dick against his asshole as if trying to fuck himself.
My favorite part comes at the end of the scene when Samuel dumps a creamy load on his leg, dips his dick into his cum, and resumes trying to fuck himself with his own cum-slippery dick.
Straight Thugs Exposed: Cortez
If you like your thugs slim, young, and cute, looking like they're barely out of high school, you're going to LOVE Cortez. I swear this kid's body doesn't have an ounce of fat!
Cortez looks like the rapper Mos Def's cuter little brother. He carries himself with a cocky, "I know I look good" swagger, and after seeing what's hanging between this boy's legs, I sure as hell don't blame him! His heavy, low-dangling balls will also have you drooling in no time, and his tight high-arching butt is damn near flawless.
Between short-lived jobs with fast-food restaurants and temp agencies, Cortez sells drugs and is always looking for ways to make the most amount of money with the least amount of work. He spent most of last year locked up on weapons-possession charges, and now spends most of his days drinking, getting high, fucking "bitches," and playing "Spades" with his "homeboys."
Cortez's pre-jack-off interview is an instant classic, and will have you stroking your dick before the first piece of clothing comes off! He tells about losing his virginity at the age of 12, a story too surprising and hot to spoil here. He talks about he and his big brother fucking girls at the same time in the same room, like it's the most normal thing in the world. He shares a story about he and his best friend fucking each other's dates on prom night. He brags about fucking white girls, and explains why they're more fun to fuck than black girls. And those are just a FEW of the wild, arousing stories he shares before stripping slowly out of his clothes, showing off his gorgeous young body, and squirting out a nice sticky load.
I'm usually not a fan of solo videos, but my dick was rock-hard the whole time I was filming this scene!
Don't miss the priceless moment when his stroking gets interrupted by a call from his girlfriend….and he answers it!
Straight Thugs Exposed: Jay
Watch as one of the hottest young thugs in the Midwest offers an intimate glimpse into his private life and then exposes his body for the entire world to see!
Jay agreed to do this video as an easy way to make some extra money. A self-described "nympho," he begins by sharing some hot stories that you won't want to miss. Highlights include orgy-parties thrown when he was in high school, and an explanation of the way he manipulates and seduces women (what he refers to as ''strategizing bitches'').
After bragging about his sexual conquests, he strips out of his clothes, shows off his body, and strokes out a hot creamy nutt.

Mandy (2018) – Review
"Mandy, you're a fine girl"
Nicholas Cage is the definitive lunatic actor, a fearless performer who happily takes on the wackiest smorgasbord of roles and often dials up his maddening psyche to a hilarious extent. Mandy, the latest film from Panos Cosmatos, seems like the perfect vehicle for a supremely unhinged Cage turn, but there's a refinement to his rage and a nuance to his thoroughly engaging battle which makes this, perhaps, his best movie to date.
The story (also penned by Cosmatos and co-writer Aaron Stewart-An) is of Red Miller, a lumberjack thrown into a world of psychedelic vengeance when a terrifying cult and their group of nightmarish bikers capture and burn his wife, Mandy (Andrea Riseborough), alive.
© – RJLE Films
"When I die, bury me deep, lay two speakers at my feet, wrap some headphones around my head and rock and roll me when I'm dead," is the message presented to you on the opening screen. Famously the words of a convicted prisoner on death row, it serves as a fitting allegory for the deranged marriage of sound and visuals that blast you firmly into Mandy's warped dimension. From the red serif fonts, to the grainy, grand, picturesque landscape that opens the picture, Cosmatos' evidently loves the 80s. Like the testosterone fuelled action flicks of that time, all that's missing from the introductory scene with Cage's Red, who's first seen holding a chainsaw, is the bouncing military theme of Alan Silvestri. Funnily enough, there's a sensational scene with Predator's Bill Duke which is essentially a zinger-off inside a camper van.
We roam around "The Shadow Mountains, 1938 A.D.", a ruthlessly quaint paradise that is just waiting to be ruined. The cult's inevitable attack is terrifically employed; a total neon, flashing nightmare that brings about an onslaught of horrific scenes. There's a whole thing with a massive hornet and it's far and away one of the most asphyxiating scenes of the year. This is swiftly followed with a nightmarish rendition of a Carpenters number, some uncomfortable masturbating and then, fire.
Cosmatos' aptitude for tough, unflinching imagery is commendable, showing us a menagerie of off-putting imagery, from dead animals to skinned faces. But what elevates the disgust beyond surface level gross-outs is the gorgeous and very critical use of lighting. Benjamin Loeb frames the high with an arthouse panache, seamlessly blending a neon-fuelled colour palette the likes of which haven't really graced screens. The transitions are spell-binding, and what the filmmakers do really skilfully is manipulate the darkness around our twisted ensemble to accentuate the light that appears to radiate within them.
The progression of the fairly standard revenge plot is a brutal slow-burner, packed with some absolutely standout set-pieces (a bloody, bloody chainsaw battle which would literally make any film better). There's plenty of goretacular kills and super stylish ambushes, but it's all padded out too much. There's a strong case to be made that the film could have been made with little to no dialogue at all and shortened by around 20 minutes – while the initial conversations between Red and Mandy elicit feelings of absolute contentment, as they chat about everything and nothing, the same gravitas could have been evoked from a further focus on the music.
Fittingly, the music is the best aspect of the film, only it has a bittersweet success. The last score from Jóhann Jóhannsson, before he sadly passed away, is an accomplished cacophony of at times ethereal, at others demented soundscapes. Infused with heavy metal riffs and deep, industrial synth-wave sounds, the composer was always known for being experimental but the praise here isn't just extended to the quality and power of his music, it serves the story perfectly. For a film steeped in a hallucinatory state of being, Jóhannsson's soundtrack conjures up a a transfixing atmosphere.
Cage's work here is remarkable, honing in his career-known, memetastic flamboyancy and sharpening it into something much more sensitive, refined and compelling. His agony stretches through into your chest, pulsating like a burning fire. He is blessed with the ability to carry off some fantastic one-liners ("I'm your God now") and perform a single-take in a bathroom, screaming while covered in blood and drinking an entire bottle of vodka. But most of all, he channels grief into its most furious form and his vindictive quest really hits home.
The cult stuff is mostly okay but not as straight-up mad as one may have liked. The bikers are great, and are more suitable within the beast Cosmatos goes for. But even beyond lines like, "The darker the whore, the brighter the flame", the bog-standard members don't carry the same intriguing gravitas as their foe. Perhaps they should have elected Chris Hemsworth as their cult leader.
A mind-bending phantasmagoria that sees a career-best Cage tackle a cult in neon-smothered hell.
Rating: ★★★★☆

Samarium is a relatively hard silver metal which oxidizes quickly in air to develop a grayish-yellow tarnish. It is a chemical element represented by the symbol Sm and the atomic number 62. It is the 40th most common element in the crust of the Earth and although it is not found in free form naturally it is contained in many minerals. The most important of these minerals for commercial production of the element are monazite and bastnaesite. It is estimated that there are two million metric tons of this metal and about 700 metric tons are produced each year. Countries with the largest deposits include; China, the United States, Brazil, India, Sri Lanka and Australia. Let's find out when this element was discovered and who made this discovery.
The discovery of samarium is the subject of much debate because several scientists announced the discovery around the same time in the 19th century. Generally the discovery is credited to the French chemist Paul Émile Lecoq de Boisbaudran who isolated the element from samarskite in 1879. Boisbaudran named the element samarium after this mineral, which had been named in honor of the Russian mining engineer Vasili Samarsky-Bykhovets who had granted access to two German chemists so that they could study minerals. In this roundabout way the element samarium was the first to be named after a person!
It was later found that Boisbaudran's sample was not pure samarium as it also contained the element europium. The first to isolate the pure element was French chemist Eugène-Anatole Demarçay who achieved this feat in 1901. In doing this he was also the first person to discover europium!
Swiss chemist Marc Delafontaine announced the discovery of decipium in 1878, but later showed that it was actually a mixture of elements that included samarium.

Hi Shawn, It's been a long time. Just came across your brilliant blogs on innovation, market systems, the works. I'm in Ethiopia to design a market systems course for the Ministry of Industry, did a search on market failure and came across you blog. I still consult, though I stopped teaching the Springfield Center course after 2012 so I could more time to produce a feature film…which I have. It's called Burning Bodhi, a coming of age drama, starring Kaley Cuoco (The Big Bang Theory) and other terrific young actors. One of these days I'll make it back to South Africa and it would be wonderful to catch up.

Melanoma diagnosis is clinically challenging: the accuracy of visual inspection by dermatologists is highly variable and heavily weighted toward false positives. Even the current gold standard of biopsy results in varying diagnoses among pathologists. We have developed a multiphoton technique (based on pump-probe spectroscopy) that directly determines the microscopic distribution of eumelanin and pheomelanin in pigmented lesions of human skin. Our initial results showed a marked difference in the chemical variety of melanin between nonmalignant nevi and melanoma, as well as a number of substantial architectural differences. We examined slices from 42 pigmented lesions and found that melanomas had an increased eumelanin content compared to nonmalignant nevi. When used as a diagnostic criterion, the ratio of eumelanin to pheomelanin captured all investigated melanomas but excluded three-quarters of dysplastic nevi and all benign dermal nevi. Additional evaluation of architectural and cytological features revealed by multiphoton imaging, including the maturation of melanocytes, presence of pigmented melanocytes in the dermis, number and location of melanocytic nests, and confluency of pigmented cells in the epidermis, further increased specificity, allowing rejection of more than half of the remaining false-positive results. We then adapted this multiphoton imaging technique to hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)–stained slides. By adding melanin chemical contrast to H&E-stained slides, pathologists will gain complementary information to increase the ease and accuracy of melanoma diagnosis.

Multiphoton imaging reveals chemical changes in melanoma compared to benign nevi and could enhance current clinical diagnostic protocols.


I've got two barrels that both fit in my standard bushmaster A2 upper. They just slide right in. But my Vltor MUR just arrived and neither barrel fits in it. One I have stuck in it right now and its only half way on. Did I get an out of spec upper?
If a barrel is stuck and you want to remove it, a section of 1" wood dowel works well, just enough to go through the receiver plus a couple inches, then tap it and the barrel out with a mallet.
I recently had the same problem (Vltor MUR and Noveske 16.1 Recon barrel). I tapped it lightly around the edges of the barrel extension rim with a brass hammer to get the barrel to go in. I can't imagine this would do any damage, I wasn't hitting any harder than I was hitting to get pins into the lower, but I'm new to the whole thing. Maybe someone can comment.
I did spray CLP on the surfaces and it didn't seem to help. Not sure what's going on as my two barrels slide right into my other receiver. The Vltor I just got the barrel goes on 1/4 of the way and then really tightens up. I had to pound it on the carpeted floor (professional eh?) to even get it on half way. Anyone know the tolerances of the inner diameter?
Update: Got the barrel off. It was 18F outside. I put the barrel out in the cold then took it into the shop and heated the upper with a heat gun. Slid right off.
PK seems to think its tight tolerances + parkerizing.
I get 0.9945" with a bore gauge. PK firearms recommended I take some emory cloth and sand down the parkerizing a little.
I assume the nominal is 1.000. Should I attempt to take 0.006 off with a little sanding?
Try hearing up the receiver in the oven to about 250-300 degrees. The aluminum will expand some and the barrel should slide in proving the hole is not way undersized.


Which Is Better: SEO Or Traditional Advertising?
Just like every other field, the advertising industry has also seen a huge change in the methods in which it is being conducted today. These changes are all part of the evolution as more new methods have been devised to market products and services. As more and more businesses are taking the online route for exposure and better demographic spread, many companies are getting into SEO method for increasing the traffic to their online store. vaughan Caseo has been instrumental in doing this for many companies. Most of the companies that are listed in www.forbes.com have a dedicated team to perform SEO for their organizations.
Now, in many places, there is always an argument as to which one of these marketing methods, SEO or the Traditional Advertising is better. Here are some inputs for you to decide on those lines.
· Traditional advertising, as we all know uses brochures, flyers, television, newspaper and bill boards to market their brand. The amount of money spent for these is huge whereas the actual conversion rate is very less. When it comes to SEO, internet makes things simple and hence a wider audience can be reached and that too at a lesser cost.
· Traditional marketing is done to a wide range of users immaterial of their likes or dislikes whereas SEO is more of relevance marketing. SEO targets customers who are in search of products or services that are offered by your company. Hence, the conversion ratios are very high.
· Traditional marketing used the outbound type of advertising which was one that reached out to prospective customers about the products or services offered. In SEO, the inbound customers are shown the right direction to buy the products and services that are looking to buy. Hence SEO is more successful than other methods of marketing.
· Analyzing the results of a traditional marketing campaign can be a tedious affair and in most cases are not done after considering the amount of effort and cost that will go into it. SEO has a great advantage in this. When you use SEO for online marketing, you will be able to track the route which a customer has taken to reach your website and thereby know the source through which the sale was made. And, this can be done in quick time as well.
· Traditional marketing uses a lot of manual effort and time to complete the process of marketing. Search engines use algorithms, which is like a set of calculations made by the computer and bots which makes all the calculations at a quicker pace as well as accurately.
· In traditional method, content only forms a part of the advertising whereas in SEO content forms a major part of it. A good content can ensure that you get a lot of leads while a bad one can affect your rankings and make your online presence a failure.
Whatever is the type of advertising method that you choose, it is sure to bring in results, but the time taken to achieve them is what makes the difference. SEO can make your website gets qualified traffic and that too in quick time.

Lee Co. denies allegations in wrongful termination suit
December 5th, 2018 by Associated Press	in Breaking News
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The company chaired by Tennessee's newly elected governor is denying allegations it wrongfully terminated an employee who requested medical leave.
According to a federal lawsuit, Michael Warren alleges he was fired by Lee Co. in July after alerting his supervisor he would need up to five days to recover from a scheduled surgery.
Lee Co., a $250 million-annual heating, cooling, plumbing and electric business, is chaired by Gov.-elect Bill Lee. The Republican is named in the nine-page complaint as the company's "registered agent."
"When Mr. Warren pointed out that the sudden hostility came on the heels of his request for medical leave his supervisor told him to leave the premises and terminated him later the same day," reads the lawsuit -- which was filed Oct. 30. "Mr. Warren, tried to appeal his case to human resources, but he was ignored or rebuffed at every turn. The Lee Company was standing by its discriminatory and retaliatory conduct."
Attorneys for the Lee Co. denied the business broke federal and state laws in a follow up response Nov. 21.
"To the extent a response is required, defendant denies the allegations and characterizations in this (complaint)," wrote attorney Jason Hale, representing the Lee Company.
This is the second wrongful termination lawsuit Lee Co. has faced. During the primary campaign, Lee faced scrutiny over a separate legal dispute with an Army National Guard member who claimed wrongful termination in 2009.
In that lawsuit, William O. Roark III, of Johnson City, alleged he was laid off because he had to attend regular doctor's appointments because of injuries he sustained in Iraq. After a lengthy back and forth, the case was eventually settled.
However, the lawsuit was featured by Lee's primary opponent U.S. Rep. Diane Black during the final moments of the campaign.
Lee's spokeswoman declined to comment Wednesday, adding that the governor-elect is in the process of separating himself from the company to prevent conflicts of interests as he gets ready to take over the office. The process is anticipated to be complete before Lee's inauguration on Jan. 19.
Earlier this week, Lee told reporters he was no longer active in the company since winning the November election.
"I am active to the degree that I am working with our company leadership to create this transition," he said.
According to the lawsuit, Warren is requesting a jury trial, back pay, punitive damages, compensatory damages and damages for lost benefits but does state a specific amount. Warren said he was forced to undergo the hernia surgery without health insurance coverage because his benefits were cut off the day he was fired.

Heat & Glo®, the industry leader in design and technology, is introducing its most innovative fireplace series yet with the PRIMO – a sophisticated take on modern styling that's also the cleanest finish Direct Vent fireplace available.
The newest modern linear addition to the Heat & Glo lineup, the PRIMO gives homeowners complete design freedom, including the ability to safely hang a TV or valuable artwork above their fireplace. Zero restrictions on finishing materials eliminate concerns of overheating or safety hazards, so any finishing material – even barnwood – can be used for a completely custom look. Available in three single-sided and see-through sizes – 48, 60, and 72-inch – the PRIMO has no exposed mesh or trim, allowing viewers to enjoy an unobstructed view of their fire, which features LED lighting in seven colors options.
The PRIMO also makes it possible to comfortably enjoy the ambiance of a fire year-round thanks to a brand-new, exclusive PowerFlow™ Heat Management System, which provides precision heat control at the flip of a switch. Heat can be distributed two ways – via Interior Heat Zones to the room the fireplace is in or an adjacent room, or via Exterior Heat Zones to direct heat outside the home – allowing homeowners to enjoy the beauty of their fireplace in comfort, no matter the season. This complete control over the heat output and flame provides a fully customized experience unlike anything currently available.
The PRIMO is expected to be available in spring 2015, with an MSRP starting at $8,000. At the International Builders' Show, visit booth #C6116 to experience the PRIMO firsthand.


In Matthew 14, there is an incident in the lives of His disciples that underscores the call for believers to step out in faith in the midst of trial. It came just after the disciples had been successfully employed in the work of the ministry with the feeding of the five thousand. No sooner had they launched from shore that they found themselves reeling in their boat on the Sea of Galilee, battered by the wind and the waves.
It would not be the only time that they experienced trouble so soon after a high point in ministry (c. p. Luke 9:27-43; Mark 4:35-41). The Lord had constrained them to get into the boat as He does us, placing them in a situation that forced them to practically apply and build upon the elementary principles of their faith.
So with us, as the hymn aptly states: "Every joy or trial cometh from above, Placed upon our dial by the Son of Love". The Lord had gone up on the mountain to pray and when He saw the difficulty they encountered, He flew to their relief – a wonderful picture of His active intercession on behalf of the heirs of faith, Romans 8:34. Ministry has it rewards but also its dangers, toils and snares. But the Lord certainly knew this in advance and would surely see them through as the passage exemplifies.
When the disciples first saw the Lord approaching their vessel during the fourth watch of the night –the darkest time, they thought they had seen a ghost, v. 26. Perhaps, they were unaccustomed to seeing Him in this way, or at least they had forgotten that He would come to their aid.
He had helped them at other times, why not now? The parallel passage in Mark 6:48 states that when the Lord had come to them, He would have passed them by as if to simply reassure them of His presence and let them know he was aware of their need.
It is always reassuring to know the Lord is there and aware of our plight. "He comes to me with new assurance…" are the words we need to sing, to strengthen our hearts especially in time of trial. But the Lord has more in store than simply our comfort!
As with Peter, He challenges us to step out in faith in response to His call and supernaturally walk in a way that we had never walked before as we rise to the occasion that corresponds to our need.
In considering this event, all of this sounds good, but how does this apply to us in the crucible of life? The passage lays it out clearly. Prior to the call was the affirmation: "Be of good cheer, It is I, Be not afraid". This was indeed the Lord's comforting words to His frightened disciples. How needed for us also! Characteristically, it is Peter who calls out to the Lord and requesting that He call him out of the boat onto the troubled seas.
How we admire Peter! Troubled like the rest, he was nevertheless willing to take the Lord at His word and venture out into the unknown darkness. With the pointed invitation to "Come", he did, regardless of his reservations—and fear. This flies in the face of modern-day positive thinkers.
True, believers are encouraged to boldly come to the throne of grace (and we should, Heb. 4:16); and not doubt the Lord (and we should not, James 1:6), but realistically speaking, the facts are in – we are prone to the frailties of the human condition, fraught with worry, doubt and fear. It was what Peter was exhibiting, despite the fact that he desired to move from a more "secure" environment to one that was less secure.
Even then he almost sank when the realization of his predicament fully gripped him. Would the Lord fail him, even though He had called him out of the boat? Will the Lord fail you, if He has called you out of the boat to trust Him more completely than you ever had before, enough to rise above the level of your circumstances? Not at all!
He would not let Peter sink amidst the waves and neither will He let you sink beneath the storm that threatens you! The feet go down, the prayer goes up and the Hand comes out – to catch the sinking soul, in the middle of the sea, in the middle of the night, amid the wind and the waves. What mercy and help to buoy the one who is of little faith, vv. 30-31. How clear it is – the keeping power of the Lord (1 Peter 1:5). It is a powerful lesson for us all!
What was the consequence of all these events? Vv. 32-33 gives us a hint. First of all, the wind ceased as soon as they got into the boat. It did not require that Peter step out of the boat to bring the storm to its conclusion. Rather, it was when Peter stepped back into the boat, that the wind ceased. What then was the purpose of this whole scene.
Could not this whole episode of Peter's brief walk on the water been conveniently skipped? Why did the Lord allow it to happen? Perhaps it was meant to show Peter and the other disciples what they could do, when they were put to the test – a call to a higher level of understanding and ability with the help of the Lord. Certainly we can stay in the "boat", but we will never know that He can sustain us unless we take Him at His Word and step out in faith.
Further, when the event had come to an end, the disciples now had a heightened sense of His power and of His person. They now had a deeper conviction of a truth they had known previously, but now knew experientially when they confidently declared: "Truly, You are the Son of God!", v. 33.
Heb. 11:6 pointedly reminds us that "they that come to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of them who diligently seeks Him." Just as we received the Lord Jesus—by faith, so we are to walk in Him, Col. 2:6 and to walk as He walked, 1 John 2:6. Faith should be the ongoing, operative principle in the life of every Christian and not just some.
This call of Christ to those that already knew Him and had already been taught by Him is the same call that is directed toward us – to walk by faith in a way that we never done before even in the face of adversity to prove both the power and promises of the Lord.
That is a perfect fit! Thanks for sharing.


For outdoor sport fans Alaska is associated first and foremost with hunting and salmon fishing. But did you know that salt water fishing is also a very popular and exciting way of fishing in this area of the country? Alaska is becoming a vacation destination thanks to its unique landscape and location combined with an abundance of activities the entire family can enjoy. Salt water fishing has become a popular tourist attraction as the cold, deep oceans that border Alaska offer some of the finest fishing opportunities in the world. Charter fishing boats have become big business in this once isolated part of the world and many people are leaving their concerns at home and taking a week or more off to take advantage of some of the most unique fishing opportunities available. Complete packages are now available for purchase through travel agents and online booking sites that let you customize a unique ocean adventure to test your skills casting a line in the waters around Alaska. Many packages include a relaxing, entertaining cruise to the region where you will then spend several days trying to reel in the next big one.
The entire family can enjoy the relaxing getaway as dad enjoys the ocean waters with other fisherman mom and children can explore a wonderful array of shopping, cultural and educational opportunities on the mainland. At night everyone can reconvene about the cruise ship or back at a local hotel to enjoy family time and entertainment that can extend well into the night. This year extend your horizons and discover a part of America that few will ever get to see. Where else will you ever get to experience six months of continuous daylight? Packages to the northernmost state are comparable with traditional vacation getaways and can provide an experience that you will never forget.


All you want to know about me and stuff you don't want to know, too.
I have always wanted to be an author, but I was having a hard time writing a novel. I would get two or three chapters down and then not get any farther. I would start each writing session by rereading everything I had written up to that point and making changes along the way. Then in 2008, I discovered NaNoWriMo (or National Novel Writing Month) that was being promoted by my local library. It was the push I needed to really write my novel!
In 2013, I published my first novel. If you are reading this, you may have already heard of Space Tripping with the Shredded Orphans or maybe you just tripped on this page by accident.
Now I have two published humorous Sci-Fi Novels in the Shredded Orphans series and one book of poetry. I also have five rough drafts for more novels, including books in the Shredded Orphans series.
I belong to the Writers Cooperative of the Pacific Northwest, as well as the Pacific Northwest Writers Association and the Greater Seattle RWA.
When I'm not writing, you can probably find me hanging out with my family or dancing.

All of us lead a stressful life and look for ways to feel relaxed and stress-free. Here are the best ways to remove stress from which you can choose one as per your convenience.
Stop thinking of your professional life and try to forget all your worries. Calm down and relax. This is the primary step without which stress relief is impossible.
Spa is the ultimate way to relax and alleviate stress. It will heal pain, remove muscle spasms and promote circulation. It also has an aesthetic value associated with it, thus acting as the ultimate way to stress-relief.
Taking a deep breath is necessary for ensuring good blood circulation. All you have to do is inhale slowly and allow the breath to gradually reach your head along the other body parts.
Keep in mind that this walk is not meant for losing calories but for relaxation. It is basically a stroll down the street during the right weather conditions. It wouldn't be a nice idea to walk along the busy road. Choose a park or riverside for the purpose. Feel the breeze and observe nature. There cannot be a better way to heal stress than this!
Some of you may find this idea to be childish. But this is a great stress-buster than this irrespective of your age.
Not all television shows will help one to become stress-free. Only the lighter programs such as comedy shows, lifestyle programs, cartoon channels and animal videos will be suitable in this case. Watching crime thrillers or detective stories will not be the right thing to do.
Listening to softer, melodious tunes can be of great help for those who are looking for the perfect way to relax. Listening at low volume is advisable in this case since your aim is to alleviate stress, not to party!
Meditation is another great alternative in this respect. With proper meditation one can get relief from stress and seek peace and comfort. Meditation is a therapy which helps you to overcome mental pressure and soothe your nerve muscles.
Meeting an old friend and sharing things will make you feel better and make your mood lighter. However, do not consider chatting in the social media as an option since it does not promote calmness in any way.
A chilled, refreshing drink is the right way to relax. Anything starting from lemonade to soft, fizzy drinks will do but it is better to avoid sweetened drinks considering their ill-effects on your health.
So these are the top ten ways for removing stress. You can choose any one of them or even more than one when you feel stressed out and look for the ideal way to relax.


As technology changes and companies adapt, IT hiring priorities will evolve as well. In September and October 2017, Tech Pro Research conducted a survey to find out if developments in areas like artificial intelligence, big data, and cloud have changed the IT department, both in terms of current job roles and new hires.
What types of IT workers does your company currently employ?
What, if any, IT positions has your company filled in the past 12 months?
What, if any, IT positions does your company plan to hire for in the next 12 months?
In the next 12 months, will your company put more emphasis on hiring new employees or retraining current ones?
Has your company experienced difficulty in hiring for any IT roles?
Has your company faced challenges like finding skilled job candidates, finding money for hiring or retraining, etc.?
What, if any, strategies has your company used to fill talent gaps?
Imagine you're giving advice to someone who's just starting out in IT. What skills would you recommend they learn?
Thinking about the IT field as a whole, in what area do you think the most jobs will be created in the next 12 months?
Among respondents whose company had done IT hiring within the past year, the majority said the hires were in general IT support or development. Respondents coming from companies that plan to hire IT workers in the upcoming year also said these areas would take priority. Despite all the talk of growth in areas like automation and data science, this indicates that most companies are still looking for talent in more traditional IT jobs. When asked to predict where new job growth will come from, respondents overwhelmingly said network security, distantly followed by data analysis and artificial intelligence.
An open response question asking for advice to new IT professionals got some telling answers. At the top of the list of recommendations was expertise in security, which wasn't a surprise. However, improving soft skills like customer service and teamwork was mentioned much more commonly than skills more traditionally associated with IT, like development and database administration.
