Bruce's Mashed Sweet Potatoes - #10 Can
- No sugar added
Customer questions about this product
- Why does the label on this product say "yam" and "sweet potato"? Isn't there a difference?
- When sweet potatoes were first introduced in the southern United States several decades ago, producers and shippers wanted to distinguish them from the more traditional white potatoes. To do so, the African word "nyami," referring to the starchy, edible root of the Dioscorea genus of plants, was adopted in its English form, "yam."
Because yams in the US are actually sweet potatoes, the US Department of Agriculture requires that the label "yam" always be accompanied by "sweet potato" to avoid confusion.
Add a flavorful, colorful, and enticing taste to your culinary creations with these Bruce's mashed sweet potatoes with no sugar added. Bruce's manufacturing process peels the sweet potatoes down to a golden, moist, and uniformly sweet consistency. Trust Bruce's to provide quality, satisfying ingredients with classic taste.

Today Nokia launched three new phones at the 2014 Microsoft Build Developer Conference in San Francisco.

Top smartphones from Verizon Wireless
There seems to be a nearly endless list of smartphones available this holiday season and with all-in-one Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ processors at the heart of the best mobile devices available, it's hard to choose just one.
Announcing the Lumia 1520: Nokia's first 6-inch smartphone
Along with their first Windows tablet, Nokia recently announced their first 6-inch smartphone, the Nokia Lumia 1520. The Nokia Lumia 1520 brings a gorgeous 1080p Full HD experience to the Nokia lineup, just in time for the holidays.
Hands on with the Nokia Lumia 928
An incredible PureView camera is the centerpiece of the Nokia Lumia 928, but its not the only amazing feature you'll find. Powered by the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ S4 Plus processor, the 928 is designed to have all the muscle it needs to run the latest Windows Phone 8 operating system without a hiccup, while taking some of the most incredible photos you've seen from a smartphone.

41 million reasons to get excited about the Nokia Lumia 1020
These days, most smartphones have pretty good cameras built in (especially those with Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ processors). Which is why you're probably taking more pictures with the phone in your hand than the camera collecting dust in your closet. Here's where the newest Nokia smartphone comes in and takes center stage.
Top GPS-based apps for everything from traffic to travel
When your smartphone has a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor it can do a lot more than just give you turn-by-turn directions. The advanced satellite guidance system in Snapdragon processors is designed to boost accuracy, reliability and speed so you can take advantage of more sophisticated location-based apps.

EAST ST. LOUIS — The frigid temperatures did not stop a huge crowd of people who had guns in their homes from coming to the Clyde C. Jordan Senior Citizens Center Saturday morning to the city's gun exchange program.
By 8 a.m., a line had formed waiting for the doors to open at 10 a.m., the scheduled time for the event to begin. The large crowd and the cold temperatures forced officials to start at 9 a.m. and shortly after 10 a.m., all 100 of the $100 gift certificates to Schnucks had been handed out to people who brought in guns.
St. Clair County State's Attorney Brendan Kelly used $10,000 seized during drug raids to buy the gift cards.
St. Clair County Sheriff Rick Watson said there were so many people waiting by 9 a.m. that he started letting them in.
"It was cold out there," Watson said.
Watson, along with East St. Louis Police Chief Michael Floore and Kelly, called the event a huge success.
"East St. Louis is very satisfied with the guns we were able to get off the streets Saturday. The streets will be safer for the residents, police, and our visitors," said Floore, who noted the city has had 18 homicides this year.
Floore said even though the event is over, he hopes that more people will continue to bring the guns in. And, he said there will be no questions asked and no arrests made.
The guarantee that no one would be arrested and no questions would be asked was a major reason why the response was so great, members of law enforcement said.
Watson said the $100 food incentive also was a motivating factor, especially at this time of year when Thanksgiving is right around the corner.
"A lot of the people who came out said the gift certificate of $100 was going to help them with their Thanksgiving dinners," Watson said.
Last year, officials collected only seven guns but on Saturday they took in 130 guns, Kelly said.
"We took all of these guns off of the street and we know they will never be back on the streets because they are going to be destroyed," Watson said.
"By 10:15 we had given out all 100 of the gift certificates, but there were still people coming in with guns. That's how we got 130 guns. Even though they didn't get a certificate, those who were already there when the certificates ran out decided to leave their guns, too. We were pleased with them for doing that. The goal here is to get as many illegal guns as we can off of the streets. I think we did pretty good here today," Watson said.
Included in the guns that were turned in were: sawed-off shotguns, 9 mms, .38-calibers, long shot guns, rifles with scopes, derringers and others.
Some East St. Louis parents were happy to see city officials and law enforcement doing something to get the guns off the street.
"It is difficult to hear about a child being shot or just someone getting murdered period," said Queen Clay, whose daughter, Brandy Roby, was strangled in 2004. Roby's body was found in a creek off Morris Street. Also, Clay's nephew, Lloyd Robinson, was shot to death two years ago on 15th Street.
"I am so sick of all of these killings," Clay said. "I am glad they are trying to do something to make East St. Louis and the other nearby communities safer."

There's no such thing as recreational use of Subox. Why? Because it doesn't cause a high. So it doesn't make sense to say he's using it recreationally. Now what he might be doing is using some other opiate, recreationally, and then using Subox to avoid or fight the crash, until he decides to use the other opiate again. I can see that. Subox lasts so long in the body that it is possible to use it only once every other day. But if it were being used that way I would think a person would need more than 2 mg every other day. Unless he was weaning off it and he was in the last few stages of the wean. But it's still possible.
However, my guess is your husband is using anything from Lortabs to Heroin, every 2 or 3 days, and then using Subox on the days he doesn't use the other opiate that makes him high.
I also want to say that if he only takes 2 mg on the days he doesn't use the other drug that then I doubt he's using Heroin. It would take more than 2 mg of Subox to fight off a Heroin crash. He's probably taking Lortabs, Vicodin, or Percocet and OxyContin. I can see where taking Percs for 1 or 2 days, and then Subox 1 or 2 days, only to then go back to Percs would make him very irritable, grumpy, and since he's probably doing it this way to trick you, he wouldn't want sex with you. I can see that.
Xanax and Ativan also fight off the opiate crash. And any and all opiates can ruin the sex drive, but not a mere 2 mg of Subox every 2 days. I think he's taking something else.
And doing opiates, and crashing from them, then doing them and crashing again plays havoc with our sleep. You need to do much more investigation into what he's doing. Maybe he thinks you're stupid, and you can't see what he's doing. But apparently you do see something.
I just know how we addicts are. We lie through our teeth and we're all slippery as eels. You have a lot more investigational work to do, before you're going to get to the bottom of this.
I'm sorry you're having to go through this. I don't know the answers, but what you're saying makes me feel like Jack could be very right that something else is going on here. This just doesn't add up and I can't see why he would take suboxone unless it has to do with what Jack described. Also, the mental and physical problems just seem to point to something else. I sure hope I'm wrong and wish you all the best. Let us know what you find out or if you have any other questions.
Take care, gail
Best Matt
Have you ever tried that, or did you read it? Subox does not cause a very intense high. You're just wrong on this one. Besides, she said her dh is talking 2 mg a day.
I took very high doses of Subox, and if you want to call that a high then if you let someone pound you in the head with a Boxing glove, that would also be an intense high. What happens with Subox is the Naloxone in it causes you to feel wds that make you take more Subox, which causes more weird wds, and so you take more Subox which causes more weird wds, and so you take more Subox. Finally you hit 32 mg and you better not exceed that. At this point you're so out of it you can barely sit in a chair. You nod and you fall out of a chair. You can't sleep so you take more Subox. It's hellish. It's not a very intense high. I can go on and on, but I've had arguments with you before and I know I'll never convince you. I suppose you're practicing for your law career. But you're wrong Matt. Try it, and then come back and tell me about it. I've done it.
I do not practice Law.
Best Matt
Just my opinion,
At least Subox has a built in safety factor. If a person uses too much, that person will get very sick. The legs can swell up and other things can happen too.
So I stand corrected. But to me, this is not a drug you can get high on. Not what I call a High.

- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place potatoes in a saucepan, and add enough water to cover. Bring to boil, and cook until tender but still firm, about 10 minutes. Drain, and cool in a bowl of cold water.
- Cook bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until evenly browned. Drain, crumble, and set aside.
- Remove cooled potatoes from water. Pat dry with a paper towel, and cut in half. Using a small spoon, carefully remove a small amount from center, leaving approximately 1/4 inch rim around each potato. Set reserved potato aside.
- In a bowl, mix together reserved potato, sour cream, bacon, seasoned salt, pepper, and chives. Spoon a small amount of mixture into each potato half and place on a baking sheet. Top each potato off with some shredded cheese.
- Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cheese is melted and potatoes are warmed through. Garnish with parsley, and serve.

I have been making these for years. I've done alot of catering in the past. An easy trick for these potatoes is to cut in half raw. Scoop out the potato. Salt water and boil the skins. Red potatos are very easy to scoop out raw. Cook the scooped out potato as you would mashed potates. and proceed with receipe. saves time and aggrevation of skins breaking.
I cooked my potatoes in the micowave for abcou 5 minues. Cut the edges, so they could stand on their own without rolling. I used a paring knife to cut out the middle since I don't have a melon ball scoop. I used my processor to mix butter, cream cheese, salt, pepper, onion powder, & parsley to my taste. I coated the skins with olive oil to get them crisp and baked for 15 minutes. They were spectacular! Thanks for the idea
I tasted the filling before stuffing the little potatoes and thought it needed something so I added some garlic powder and melted butter. I thought it was better with these additions, more calories, but I never skimp on calories when I am feeding guests.

Skill Training
From OpenwaterpediaPyramid of Open Water Success. It refers to teaching the fine points of open water racing techniques requires feedings, sighting, starts, turns, positioning, and navigation practices during pool practices or, ideally, in the open water. For feeding, swimmers can place gel packs in their swimsuits to practice fluid in-take during main sets. For navigation and sightings, swimmers can do 6 x 400, but they must lift up their heads twice every fourth lap to sight balloons on the pool deck, moved around by the coach. For turns, swimmers can touch the wall, without doing a flip turn or pushing off the wall, during the last 2 laps of 5 x 200. For drafting, three swimmers can swim together with one swimmer slightly behind drafting for a set of 9 x 300 with a draft every third lap and descending by groups of three. To replicate start and finish conditions, swimmers sprint short distances (25's or 50's) with three swimmers per lane starting at the same time.
Pyramid of Open Water Success
The Pyramid of Open Water Success is an open water swimming training concept developed by Steven Munatones of the World Open Water Swimming Association. Its purpose is to educate and inspire open water swimmers and coaches to comprehensively prepare themselves or open water swimmers or triathletes to properly train for all aspects of the sport of open water swimming or the swim legs of triathlons.

"Your article today reminded me of last fall. While deer hunting near Errol, I heard some rustling nearby. I looked and saw a rabbit at full run being pursued by this guy. He heard me, broke off and scampered up at tree. I was able to get a couple of pictures. I never got a definitive identification but the consensus was a pine marten. I thought I'd get your opinion. - Randy Emerson, Bedford.

They say revenge is a dish best served cold. But try telling that to Oklahoma's supporters of tort reform. That crowd wants its retribution piping-hot and fresh from the microwave. At least that's how it looked after the state Supreme Court ruled June 4 that 2009's landmark tort-reform law was unconstitutional.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

Summary | Excerpt | Reading Guide | Reviews | Beyond the book | Readalikes | Genres & Themes | Author Bio
kira-kira (kee' ra kee' ra): glittering; shining
Glittering. That's how Katie Takeshima's sister, Lynn, makes everything seem. The sky is kira-kira because its color is deep but see-through at the same time. The sea is kira-kira for the same reason. And so are people's eyes. When Katie and her family move from a Japanese community in Iowa to the Deep South of Georgia, it's Lynn who explains to her why people stop them on the street to stare. And it's Lynn who, with her special way of viewing the world, teaches Katie to look beyond tomorrow. But when Lynn becomes desperately ill, and the whole family begins to fall apart, it is up to Katie to find a way to remind them all that there is always something glittering -- kira-kira -- in the future.
Luminous in its persistence of love and hope, Kira-Kira is Cynthia Kadohata's stunning debut in middle-grade fiction.
Winner of the 2005 Newbery Award.
Chapter 1
My sister, Lynn, taught me my first word: kira-kira. I pronounced it ka-a-ahhh, but she knew what I meant. Kira-kira means "glittering" in Japanese. Lynn told me that when I was a baby, she used to take me onto our empty road at night, where we would lie on our backs and look at the stars while she said over and over, "Katie, say 'kira-kira, kira-kira.'" I loved that word! When I grew older, I used kira-kira to describe everything I liked: the beautiful blue sky; puppies; kittens; butterflies; colored Kleenex.
My mother said we were misusing the word; you could not call a Kleenex kira-kira. She was dismayed over how un-Japanese we were and vowed to send us to Japan one day. I didn't care where she sent me, so long as Lynn came along.
I was born in Iowa in 1951. I know a lot about when I was a little girl, because my sister used to keep a diary. Today I keep her diary in a drawer next to my bed.
I like to see how her memories were the same as mine, ...
This is a heartbreaking, gorgeous book written from the point of view of young Katie, who is only 10 when her 14 year old sister falls sick and dies. The prose is clear, simple and authentic and, most importantly, is clearly touching the hearts of young readers as you can see by the reader reviews posted at BookBrowse.
(Reviewed by BookBrowse Review Team).
Full Review (1017 words).
Cynthia Kadohata was born in Chicago in 1956. When she was very young her family
moved to Georgia where her father found a job as a chicken sexer, like Katie's
father in Kira-Kira. Then when she was about two, her father found
a chicken-sexing job in Arkansas, where they lived until she was almost nine.
She has a BA in journalism from the University of Southern California and has been writing since 1982. When she was 25 and completely directionless, she took a Greyhound bus trip up the West Coast, and then down through the South and Southwest. She met people she never would have met otherwise. It was during that bus trip, which lasted a month, that she rediscovered in the landscape the magic she'd ...
If you liked Kira-Kira, try these:
Winner of the 1990 Newbery Medal. Lois Lowry fictionalizes a true-story account of the evacuation of Jews from Nazi-held Denmark to save them from being detained and then sent to the death camps.
In Dina, Patricia Reilly Giff has created one of her most engaging and vital heroines. Readers will enjoy seeing 1870s Brooklyn through Dinas eyes, and share her excitement as she discovers a new world. (Ages 9+)

A father and two sons were arrested Saturday morning after police say they found a meth lab in their home.
After a tip from the Cass County Probation Department, officers responded to a home on the 2000 block of Usher Street, where they found an "active meth lab," according to Cass County Sheriff Randy Pryor.
Dalton Eugene McGuire, 51, Logansport, and his son, Dustin Merl McGuire, 30, Logansport, were arrested on charges of manufacturing meth, possession of meth, possession of precursors and maintaining a common nuisance. Dalton also faces charge of possession of paraphernalia.
Another son, Dalton Ray McGuire, 28, Royal Center, was arrested on charges of manufacturing meth, possession of meth, possession of paraphernalia, visiting a common nuisance and child neglect.
Joseph Allen Lott, 50, Logansport, was also at the residence and was arrested on charges of manufacturing meth, possession of meth and visiting a common nuisance.
The probation department contacted the police after they found that Dustin had reportedly failed several drug screens, Pryor said. Pryor said they also received information that he had purchased sudafedron that night.
"They discovered that there was a meth lab in the garage," Pryor said.
Pryor said police entered the house after knocking on the door and discovered items used to manufacture meth. After obtaining a search warrant, police found "a glass pipe with black and white residue" that field-tested positive for meth, Pryor said.
They also found a Powerade bottle that was identified as a meth lab and three baggies containing meth, Pryor said.
The Cass County Drug Task Force and the Indiana State Police Clean-Up Team were also on scene.
A 4-year-old girl was discovered in the home and identified as 28-year-old Dalton McGuire's daughter, leading to the child neglect charges.
Dalton Ray McGuire bonded out of the Cass County Jail Sunday night on a $25,000 surety and Lott bonded out Saturday on a $5,000 cash bond.
Dalton Eugene McGuire and Dustin McGuire remain in jail on $5,000 cash and $25,000 surety bonds.

Conservative bloggers took issue with a comment made Wednesday in Washington by Baltimore County Police Chief James Johnson.
"I find it very scary, creepy, and just not based on logic," said Johnson—referring to comments made at the hearing by National Rifle Association executive Wayne LaPierre—during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on gun violence, according to a report by The Guardian.
LaPierre, in remarks at the hearing, tied the Second Amendment to the "tyranny of King George and they wanted to make sure that these people in this new country would never be subjugated to tyranny," he said, according to the report.
The four-hour hearing also included testimony from former Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who was injured in a 2011 mass shooting while speaking to constituents in Tuscon. Giffords read brief written testimony and was joined by husband Mark Kelly, who also spoke to the committee.
Johnson, who has served as Baltimore County's chief of police since 2007, also chairs the National Law Enforcement Partnership to Prevent Gun Violence.
Politics site Twitchy posted a piece citing tweets that took issue with Johnson's comment, interpreting it as an attack on the Second Amendment and initially mistaking Johnson as the police chief for Baltimore City (that has since been corrected by the site).
Johnson's full prepared testimony is on the Judiciary Committee's website.

Please use the buttons below to see more information on Newcastle Falcons and matches between Exiles and Falcons over the years.
Newcastle Falcons
London Irish
Fixture Type: Aviva Premiership
Match Date: Sun 27 Oct 2013
Kick Off: 15:00
Venue: Kingston Park
Referee: Greg Garner
TV Match Official: Keith Lewis
Assistant Referee: Luke Pearce
Assistant Referee: Robin Goodliffe
The Exiles were awarded a penalty with a minute left on the clock to win the game. Unfortunately the ball fell off the tee twice meaning Shane Geraghty had to rush his attempt which fell just under the crossbar.
Ofisa Treviranus and Adam Powell scored the tries for Irish and Falcons respectively but in the end it was a Phil Godman conversion that proved to be the difference.
It was a cold and windy afternoon in the North-East and the elements came into account from the opening kick-off which saw Falcons out half, Rory Clegg, put the ball out on the full.
Brian Smith's charges made a solid start to the game and had plenty of early possession. A mixture of forced and unforced errors however saw his side cough up possession at crucial points.
The first try however was coming and when it did it was very well taken. Rory Clegg had missed a penalty attempt moments earlier and from the resulting 22 re-start Irish went on the charge. They turned over the ball at the line out and worked the Falcons pack up the field. O'Leary, who was captain for the afternoon in the absence of George skivington who missed out with a foot injury, passed to Tagicakibau who broke two tackles before feeding inside to David Paice. Paice showed great composure to draw the last defender and pass to Ofisa Treviranus who had a simple run in. Tagicakibau and Blair Cowan were very prominent in the lead up to the try with two good carries.
The hosts came back at London Irish and although they never looked like crossing for a try, took the lead with two Clegg penalty goals. With only a minute remaining on the clock Chris Hala'ufia carried over the Newcastle try line but was adjudged by refereemGreg Garner to be held up. Ian Humphreys did though put Irish back in front with the straightforward penalty attempt. Irish led 8-6 at the break.
Irish started the second stanza in the ascendancy with their pack winning an early penalty. Humphreys attempt drifted wide of the uprights. Clegg had an opportunity shortly after to put the Falcons back in front, but similarly to Humphreys his attempt when wide.
After an injury delay that saw Topsy Ojo come off, Irish won a second penalty at the set piece, this time the line out, when Ian Gough was dragged down and Humphreys extended his sides lead to five points. with a well struck penalty.
Moving into the final quarter, the Exiles were under a lot of pressure in their own 22. Newcastle were awarded a free kick at the scrum and their pack drove into the heart of the irish defence. After relentless pressure the ball was spun out to Adam Powell who scored under the posts. Phil Godman added the conversion to put his side ahead 13-11.
A nerve wracking finale followed and the game went down to the wire when the Irish pack won a penalty on 79 minutes. Shane Geraghty, who came on for Ian Humphreys, lined up the attempt from 40 metres out, before the ball fell not once, but twice off the tee. This meant Geraghty had to rush his attempt and in the end it fell just under the crossbar.
The Falcons won 13-11 and irish were left pondering what could have been. Irish host Northampton Saints at Madejski Stadium next Sunday.

Robert Hof, Contributor
I cover the collision of advertising and the Internet.
There's a curious disconnect plaguing Facebook in the run-up to its initial public offering this week: Just about every marketer knows she or he has to be on Facebook to reach its nearly 1 billion users, which is why ad spending on the social network nearly doubled last year. But even as they write Facebook checks, those same marketers invariably confess that they're unsure what they're getting from all that spending–in particular whether Facebook ads ultimately push more products off store shelves.
Today, that disconnect hit home with General Motors' decision to stop advertising on Facebook. The $10 million it was spending is a drop in Facebook's revenue bucket, but the symbolism was hard to escape: One of the leading brand advertisers in the world thinks advertising on Facebook doesn't work. And while marketers have voiced such uncertainties for some time, both in the Wall Street Journal recently and earlier in Forbes stories and posts, the exit of an iconic advertiser like an automaker is particularly worrisome.
The news comes as a survey also shows more than half of Facebook users don't feel safe buying on Facebook. Both developments threaten to mute investor interest in Facebook's IPO, for which reports so far had indicated strong demand. And that IPO is just a couple of days away.
A lot of pundits are quick to blame Facebook for what they assume is a failed ad platform. Well, some $5 billion in revenues this year is a "failure" nearly every other website and publisher would love to have. And some marketers (truth be told, many, even automakers) still like what they're getting on Facebook. At the same time, though, Facebook's ad offerings still leave much to be desired, especially for brand marketers, and so do its methods of measuring the impact of those ads.
But the biggest challenge is one that is as old as media itself: Social media is, well, a new medium. Television ads that consisted of video of people reading radio ads didn't work too well, but the 30-second image ad sure did. Magazine ads plastered on websites didn't work too well either, but Google's search ads sure do.
Likewise, Facebook, and others in social media such as Twitter, Pinterest, StumbleUpon and even Google with its YouTube service, have yet to come up with the 21st century equivalent of the 30-second TV ad. Indeed, they haven't come up with anything to rival the search ad, a click on which remains the most powerful statement in advertising history of a consumer's intent to buy. "There is still a fundamental disconnect between what people are doing on Facebook and what marketers want from them," says Kurt Abrahamson, CEO of ShareThis, which helps advertisers reach target audiences through content sharing buttons on many websites. "Whether Facebook can become the brand mecca they want to be remains to be seen."
Facebook's Sponsored Stories, which are existing posts about a brand that advertisers pay to spread more widely on Facebook, are a first attempt at an ad format more suited to social media. And they've apparently done well so far. As I wrote in my Forbes story last December:
It's … converting the primary gesture of social media—sharing—into something potentially even better for branding than TV ads: a supercharged version of word of mouth. It's the most valuable form of marketing but tough to build quickly and even tougher to control.
Facebook demolishes those limitations. People have an average of 130 Facebook friends, so when they "Like" a brand that endorsement spreads instantly to the news feeds of many of those friends—who then may spread it further to their friends, potentially building to millions of people in a flash. Mars Chocolate North America, for instance, seeded demand before last year's launch of M&M's Pretzel by offering samples through a virtual vending machine to 40,000 fans, who each could spread the offer to two of their friends. In less than 48 hours 120,000 samples flew out the door.
Still, the impact of such campaigns is relatively small next to TV ad campaigns that can reach far more people at a single shot, often with much more emotional resonance. Indeed, marketers say Facebook ad units still leave little room to establish an emotional connection with consumers. Despite some findings that Facebook's ads do just that through social connections rather than glitz, many marketers want both capabilities in Facebook ads. "Facebook needs to come up with something more beautiful," Cory Treffiletti, cofounder of digital marketing firm Amplify Social, said in the same story.
The other issue for Facebook is providing better measures of the impact of its advertising–especially as it gets more expensive. It has made some strides there, leading an initiative with Nielsen to provide metrics similar to the Gross Ratings Points used in television. But the effort is early, and marketers still want more. "Brands are experimenting on social media to see what's most effective, and what metrics best measure that," says Jonathan Weitz, a partner with the boutique media consulting firm Interactive Broadband Consulting Group.
In particular, it's harder for marketers to track the impact of an ad through to an actual sale than with other websites. That's because Facebook limits how they can track people's activities on Facebook, and they can't directly track those users when they leave Facebook, as they can with other websites, with browser software called cookies. "Brands are looking at their investment in Facebook and seeing if they're getting ahead of themselves," says ShareThis' Abrahamson. "They're having trouble tracking it to economic results."
Not least, marketers themselves may need to change how they operate on social networks, just as they had to adapt their messaging to television and the Web. As I wrote during Facebook's Marketing Conference in February:
Marketers brought up onstage to support Facebook's vision couldn't help but mention challenges. Nigel Morris, CEO of Aegis Media North America, noted that there's a "dramatic" shortage of talent to carry out the new marketing, and a lack of understanding by management as well.
The problem, notes Bryan Wiener, CEO of digital agency 360i, is that much of the marketing industry is separated into distinct siloes for advertising, public relations, and Web site creation and operations. "The industry is not set up to support the new world order," he says. "Facebook is making it incredibly difficult for these companies" as a result. Facebook's vision, he adds, is going to require big disruptions in the way marketers and their agencies work.
So it's likely that if Facebook is to fulfill the huge expectations inherent in its $105 billion IPO, it will have to market itself to the marketers better as well. After all, Randall Rothenberg, CEO of the online ad trade group Interactive Advertising Bureau, noted at a marketing conference today, "95% of brand dollars are staying out of digital advertising" because it's mainly aimed at eliciting a direct sale rather than improving brand metrics like brand lift and intent to buy. His prescription: Come up with "better space and places and opportunities for brand expression," in particular ad units that are more standardized across social sites, not specific just to Facebook.
Facebook has had a number of years to prepare for this IPO and in my opinion it should be a concern to investors that the best reasons people can come up with for its proposed valuation is what it might do, or could theoretically do, in the future. The IPO is being driven not by need for cash, but by an excessive number of shareholders – if Facebook had brilliant ideas for generating revenues that would justify their proposed valuation, there is no reason to believe that they would not implement those ideas. The term "vaporware" comes to mind.
Sure, Facebook could produce an ad network that operates in a manner similar to AdSense. Just like Yahoo did with the Yahoo Publisher Network which… died. Or which Microsoft could do, but has chosen not to do, with its established ad platform. There are any number of ad networks that compete at some level with Google, but between Google's infrastructure, technology, advertiser base and revenue share it is a formidable opponent.
Facebook's most significant recent changes, such as timeline, seem to be focused on gathering more user data in the hope that it can be monetized. Maybe they'll find a way. But until they offer something more than "maybe", I think it's more than fair to say that investing in Facebook is a high-stakes gamble. At a $10 billion valuation it's a deal, right? At $100 billion, the amount of growth required to justify that valuation is staggering – and they don't appear to have anything approximating a viable plan to get from here to there.
well, no one firm online or indeed offline has managed to address the key issues of TRUST anyway.. so, understandable that likes of GM prefer to do what 'make sense' now.. and in fact finding the best way to 'use their budget' efficiently..
I cannot wait to see how a firm that bring that transparency & trust might change the market altogether and firms like GM will have to pay a 'premium' to be associated with it.. h*ck.. even JP Morgan and others might need that service soon, huh!? ;-)
In our opinion Facebook should monetize on these fronts:
(1) Web 3.0:
Products managing themselves at the stores. RFI enable likes, purchase intent, and recomendations during the discovery process. I believe they already purchased a patent on that.
Semantics for product recomendations based not on what we typed for search, but what we typed for comments.
(2) Demographics:
As timeline evolves, people needs change, and the demographics of age groups can be used to better serve them with the right products and services
(3) Own the social identity, so that it can enter other areas of life where other services are growing. Just logging into a site with Facebook connect will not be enought to own that one social identity.
Facebook i believe is one of the strongest vehicle to reach out to the target audiences. Only thing which alarms me is what went wrong with GM. There can be a content which i feel media agency is partly responsible, where you can't blame media tool. Because role of these tools is to bring the relevant audiences at your door step.
Instead of withdrawing themselves from the Facebook or reducing their spent, i believe the should come-up with some different communication strategy which might work for them. Else it will give a wrong message to the consumers which might affect on the loyalty.
"That's because Facebook limits how they can track people's activities on Facebook, and they can't directly track those users when they leave Facebook, as they can with other websites, with browser software called cookies. "
Websites can track you, as long as you don't log off from Facebook, which many people don't. I have seen websites call me by my name when I visited them, asking me to like them. It is very creepy and scary, & rather than liking them I got the hell out of there. :) Now I always log off Facebook.
Earlier, Facebook tracked you even if you logged off, and this caused a furore by privacy groups, so Facebook stopped it.
Anyway, cookie laws are getting stricter, and if the only way marketers have is stalking you from website to website, I would say their business model is broken anyway.
Don't forget one of the worst click-through rates in the industry. Or the fact that they limit most advertisers to what amounts to a tiny classified ad restricted to 24 characters in the headline and 90 in the body copy (including spaces).
There is a large disconnect between Facebook ads and what they actually accomplish. A like doesn't equal a sale, but do 40,000 likes assist in 12,000 assisted sales? Companies cannot look to FB ads as the sole way to drive sales, if you have a strong brand and marketing initiatives, FB will assist with the sales process. www.addisonwhitney.com
Wall Street Journal, May 17, 2013. 'After two consecutive quarters of Facebook failing to reach analysts profit forecasts, the pressure is really on Zuckerberg and his team to deliver greater value from their 1.5 billion users. Successive ad models, including the latest iteration of their mobile ad format have failed to deliver the required levels of return, yet Facebook remains central to the marketing of nearly every major brand and sign-up continues at record levels, especially amongst the emerging BRIC markets. One key sector analyst points back to the largely ignored warning sign when General Motors pulled their Facebook advertising budget in May 2012, yet GM continued with their expenditure on rich content and consumer engagement through their Facebook brand pages. Many industry insiders feel Facebook will have no choice but to implement a charging structure to companies based on the level of their usage and number of likers. "What are brands going to do," said one source, "Facebook have them over a barrel, they've spent years engaging with their target audience on someone else's platform for free, now it's time to pay up."

Amazon CloudFront Lowers Minimum Content Expiration Period
We're excited to announce that you can now use Amazon CloudFront for frequently changing content. Before today, Amazon CloudFront's edge locations cached objects for a minimum of 60 minutes. Effective today, we've removed the sixty minute minimum expiration period (also known as "time-to-live" or TTL) from Amazon CloudFront. With this change, you have the ability to configure a minimum TTL for all objects in your distribution using the Amazon CloudFront API. The minimum TTL value may be as short as 0 seconds. You can then set the TTL for each file by setting the cache control header on your file in the origin. Amazon CloudFront uses cache control headers to determine how frequently each edge location gets an updated version of the file from the origin. Note that our default behavior isn't changing; if no cache control header is set, each edge location will continue to use an expiration period of 24 hours before checking the origin for changes to that file. You can also continue to use Amazon CloudFront's Invalidation feature to expire a file sooner than the TTL set on that file.
You can learn more about the new expiration period policy in the
Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide
or by visiting the
Amazon CloudFront
product page.

The City of Carlsbad Parks & Recreation Department received a Governor's Historic Preservation Award at a ceremony held in Sacramento Nov. 29, for its work to restore a barn at the city's Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park.
The department was honored by the state's Office of Historic Preservation for the project, which turned the barn into a theater for park visitors to experience cultural programs related to the ranch's rich history.
The barn, originally constructed in 1943, was repaired and restored primarily through grant monies and volunteer support, incorporating as much of its original material and infrastructure as possible. It was then retrofitted with audio and video equipment and furniture to create a theater.
Restoration construction costs were $485,307, and the project was completed in August, 2011.
Once a 2,538-acre working rancho, the ranch was the former home of actor and State Parks Commissioner Leo Carrillo. Carrillo saw the ranch as a connection to his Spanish ancestry and realization of his dream to be a real vaquero (cowboy) like the ones he played on screen. The ranch is now owned and managed by the City of Carlsbad as a 27-acre historic park, and many of its original adobe structures remain intact. It is toured by thousands every year, including hundreds of children from local schools who will now have the chance to learn even more about Leo Carrillo and the history of the property through exhibits and film screenings in the new theater.
"It is a great honor to accept this award on behalf of all of the City of Carlsbad staff and volunteers who worked so hard on this restoration project" said Chris Hazeltine, director of the city's Parks & Recreation Department. "The renovated barn and theater will serve as a historical and cultural resource for Carlsbad residents and visitors young and old."
Established in 1986, the Governor's Historic Preservation Awards are presented annually under the sponsorship of the State Office of Historic Preservation and California State Parks to individuals, organizations, companies and public agencies whose contributions demonstrate notable achievements in preserving the heritage of California. The purpose of the awards is to recognize meaningful achievements in historic preservation through increased public awareness, appreciation and support for historic preservation throughout the state.
Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park is open Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Free docent led tours are held Saturday at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., and Sunday at noon and 2 p.m. To find out about upcoming events at the park, including programs in the historic barn theater, visit the city's website at carlsbadca.gov/parksandrec.
