HOTTEST Models in the World Today.....


I participate in MANY different #Twitter Chats. On Wednesday nights at 10pm edt is #Toolschat with  moderator's  & @mqtodd

What is #Toolschat? 

 It is called #ToolsChat and we will discuss how you can make the most of Twitter with various Twitter Tools and also other tools for blogs etc.
We will review a different set of tools each week.

This week was a new web site /  start-up called list.ly

Click on image for to visit→

What is List.ly? It  is a way to create and share lists, as well as integrate collaborative lists into your own blog posts, or as I'm doing creating a blog post about a list I created!  

List.ly was once known as twtpickin, and the developer Shyam Subramanyan & Nick Kellet decided to take the app to a whole new level…with the understanding that lists make up a huge amount of the blogging content on the web today.

What List.ly does is allow content creators to create lists and then crowdsource them, giving them scalability and allowing them to have lives beyond their original blog post. List.ly allows lists to evolve, just as the service has.

By signing up, List.ly allows you to create lists that can be shared and built upon by others. Users can embed their lists into their WordPress blogs, as well as share them via social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook. You log in using either your Twitter, as I did or your Facebook account, making the signup process simple which it was.

Now I'm still exploring and learning but in a matter of an hour I joined, decided the subject of my first list, researched it and added to it, wrote a blog about it, embedded the list and it was ALL VERY simple!

I think I like this new #SM TOOL! #toolschat

Join and ADD to my List!

How do you define Computer?

This blog post was done completely on my #iphone! Not on a PC or Mac or #ipad but totally on my #iphone 4S I've had since December 2011. In fact I just dictated this entire sentence using the microphone feature on the iPhone! So what! No big deal! Who cares? I used to be constantly sitting in front of my Dell PC surfing the web or getting e-mails, using #Pinterest or #Google+ or #Facebook or whatever! Now I can just lay around and use the #iphone for all that and more! It's true what the late Steve Jobs said, "People will have #iphones and #ipads instead of computers!" While nothing, in my opinion, will or can ever replace the traditional computer, there getting pretty darn close! So how about it! Will the tradition computer be a thing of the past? Or will you always have a PC/Mac in every household?

The Day after June 6

June 6, 1944 D-Day

160,000 Allied troops landed along a 50-mile stretch of heavily-fortified French coastline to fight Nazi Germany on the beaches of Normandy, France. General Dwight D. Eisenhower called the operation a crusade in which “we will accept nothing less than full victory.” More than 5,000 Ships and 13,000 aircraft supported the D-Day invasion, and by day’s end on June 6, the Allies gained a foot- hold in Normandy. The D-Day cost was high -more than 9,000 Allied Soldiers were killed or wounded -- but more than 100,000 Soldiers began the march across Europe to defeat Hitler.
  
General Dwight D. Eisenhower's D-Day Speech 

To the Allied Forces 

 

BUT June 7, 2002 is a day I will never forget. On that that day I lost my mother! Having lost my father in 1983, to our family Claire was the rock. The unyielding force that held us all together. Like Mom's are, she was always there, ready to help. NOTHING phased her! She feared NOTHING!

SHE WAS A MOM!

In the last years of her life she battled intestinal bleeding that no one could ever explain, cancer which they remove 1/3 of her stomach. "Well at least I'm skinny again!' she would say! But STILL she was there, helping, nurturing, comforting all of us!

Her pride and joy, Hannah, my niece and God Daughter, gave her great pleasure! Not quite four when she passed, I'll never forget Hannah standing straight up on the limo's floor waiting for her to be carried and put into the hearse.

In the church she told my sister, "Mom don't cry. I see the Angels taking Granny to heaven!"

This post is for HER!

We all have lost loved ones.

It never get over it - we just get used to it!

I LOVE you MOM!

Alyssa Milano LIVE Tweeting from LA Kings Game


@Alyssa_milano QUEEN of #Twitter is taking over the @NHL Twitter account tonight Thursday May 17, 2012 from her season ticket seats for Thursday night’s playoff matchup between the Los Angeles Kings and Phoenix Coyotes. The game starts at 9 p.m. EST.

 It’s the first time the hockey league has relinquished control of its @NHL handle to a celebrity.

 Fans are encouraged to use the #AskAlyssa hashtag and the #PhxLAK.

Alyssa is well known in the world of Social Media, especially Twitter. She has over 2 Million followers and often interacts with them on a regular bases, including myself, @UBtalkin  , many times. 


“You may see a celebrity on the jumbotron, but fans don’t usually get an opportunity to interact with them around hockey,” Devi Mahadevia, the league’s director of digital business development said to Mashable. “This Twitter takeover gives fans the opportunity to ask questions and talk hockey with a well known celebrity.”

We have watched Alyssa grow up in the public eye, first on the hit ABC comedy "Who's the Boss!"(1984–1992) Then in the hit TV series "Charmed" (1998-2006) and now her newly announced series to begin on ABC in 2013 "Mistresses" amongst other movie's and TV appearances.

She is married to David Bugliari @dbugliari and has a handsome son Milo.

Follow along LIVE BLOG tonight here.......

Problems with Apple iOS 5.1.1

Quick post about #Apple #IOS upgrade 5.1.1

Apple has issued an update for their iOS operating system fixing minor bugs. available for iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPod touch (3rd generation) and later, iPad (1st generation), iPad (2nd generation), iPad (3rd generation).


Here is what you will get with iOS 5.1.1 update
  • Improves reliability of using HDR option for photos taken using the Lock Screen shortcut
  • Addresses bugs that could prevent the new iPad from switching between 2G and 3G networks
  • Fixes bugs that affected AirPlay video playback in some circumstances
  • Improved reliability for syncing Safari bookmarks and Reading List
  • Fixes an issue where 'Unable to purchase' alert could be displayed after successful purchase
This update is available over-the-air for devices running on iOS 5 and above. It is a 54MB download for iPhone, and 42.5MB of iPad and 42.8MB of iPod touch.
Apple had originally introduced iOS 5 in October last year with iPhone 4S, while iOS 5.1 was released in March 2012.


BUT since the update I, and others reporting, have had some problems with Safari Google Images. I am running the #iPhone 4S. When searching in Safari on Google for images they come up but it does not swipe to see more. In addition when you touch the image it does not enlarge. It does offer a save.

This has happened to me today, but as I am writing this it has returned to normal and the problem appears to be gone.

I did some quick research to see if this problem was mine or widespread. I found it was a VERY widespread problem so much an Apple discussion board with hundreds of complaints was started all pointing to the same problem I have described above.

I would LOVE to give you a link to this but right now on the Apple discussions board you get this→

I have also heard of OTHER problems as well!!!

So as of now, STAY TUNED!

Here's the discussion Thread on the Apple Boards about Google Image  

More problems have now been discovered and reported by some including Battery Life, WiFi problems. Some reporting there phones have crashed and other issues READ HERE 

Let me know if any of you are have this or any other troubles with the new IOS update 5.1.1
