Real Or Fake?




The latest craze in the entertainment world seems to be silicone gluteus maximus. Now it makes you wonder who's "but" is real and who really went to the doctor and had them make them a booty....lol. Either way is this popular trend acceptable? Some women are really making a case for actually being plastic!

S.I.N. Extraordinaire- "FOR THE CRIB" (Chicago Anthem)



You have to like the feel of this song, sounds like classic music plus it's, "For The Crib"!

"WEDDINGS"






Weddings are epic!

Never be to into........

Too much of anything is never good for you. Case and point, to much shallowness is just as bad as having too much depth. The key is to find a balance, never worship material possessions and never over indulge in having too much depth. The key is for you to judge your own well being in life. It is important to be happy, but it is even more important to find happiness within, instead of within Saks Fifth. Love & Live Life!

How Facebook Makes $$$$$$$$$


While most industry insiders have a firm grasp on Facebook’s monetization models, most people still don’t understand how Facebook makes money. For those that still don’t know how Facebook makes money, we thought we’d take the opportunity to break down Facebook’s various revenue streams including past and future streams of revenue. After reading this guide, you should have a complete understanding of how Facebook makes money.

Advertising Business
Facebook’s single most important revenue channel is advertising. The company has always been ad supported and most likely will always be ad supported. While some have claimed that Facebook will one day charge for access to the site, those rumors are completely false. Facebook generates over half a billion in revenue each year, the vast majority of which comes from advertising. So who is paying for advertising?

Self-Serve Facebook Advertising
The largest chunk of Facebook’s advertising revenue is the company’s self-serve advertising platform. By visiting the following page you can set up your own advertising campaign on Facebook. These advertisements are displayed in the sidebar of most pages of the site. That includes user profiles, events, groups, Facebook Pages, and third-party applications. The primary advantage of Facebook’s self-serve advertising platform is the granular targeting features.

Over the past few years Facebook has increased their targeting capabilities, including the ability to limit advertising to metropolitan areas as well as the following target variables: gender, age, network (workplace, school, etc), profile keywords, relationship status, and more. Facebook recently released the Facebook Ads API which provides large ad buyers with the ability to build robust ad managers on top of the Facebook advertising platform.

We’ve written about a number of companies who have built services on top of Facebook’s Ads API. To boil it down, the Facebook Ads API enables Facebook to reduce the amount of friction large advertisers (those who spend more than $10,000 a day) have in posting new advertisements and modify existing ones. According to numerous sources, Zynga, the developer behind the largest games on Facebook (FarmVille, CafĂ© World, etc), is the largest purchaser of Facebook’s self-serve ads.

Small businesses like doctors, lawyers, restaurants, and others are also responsible for a large amount of Facebook’s revenue generated by the self-serve advertising platform. If you want to learn more about Facebook’s self-serve advertising platform, check out some of the articles below. We expect Facebook to generate somewhere in the range of $450 million this year (2010) on self-serve ads (allfacebook.com)

Final Club



There are currently eight all-male clubs at Harvard:

A.D. (1 Plympton St.)
Owl (30 Holyoke St.)
Delphic (known as "the Gas") (9 Linden St)
Fly (2 Holyoke Pl.)
Fox (44 John F. Kennedy St.)
Phoenix-SK (72 Mt Auburn St)
Porcellian - sometimes called the 'Porc' or the 'P.C.' (1324 Mass Ave)
Spee[3] (76 Mt Auburn St).


All were established a century or more ago. There are other private male social clubs at Harvard that do not own property but participate in similar functions as the final clubs. Five all-female social clubs, which are in some ways comparable to the male final clubs, have been founded more recently and are called the Bee, the Isis, La Vie, the Sabliere Society, and the Pleiades Society. Another women's organization, the Seneca distinguishes itself as "a nonprofit women's organization that is often misidentified as a final club," but other clubs are also organizations that also engage in some community service. The Bee was founded in 1991; The Seneca in 1999; Isis in 2000; Pleiades in 2002; Sabliere in 2002; and La Vie in 2008


Male final clubs have long been a point of controversy at Harvard because of their implicit elitism. They do not allow women as members, and some clubs have historical traditions that make them more of a reflection of Harvard's predominantly white, trust-fund wealthy, Protestant past than its present.In recent years, many of the clubs have grown increasingly diverse to include men of other races.
