Love/Hate Relationship with Google
By identity on Dec 19, 2007
I recently had an interesting discussion with a telecommunications executive about Google. He loves the way Google creates demand that increases the percentage of potential subscribers who buy his broadband Internet services; he hates Google's penchant for giving away services for free. Most of all, he hates Google's avowed ambition for "world domination."
"Will Google get into the wireless telephony business?" I asked.
"No, the high cost of installing and operating a mobile phone business is far too expensive," he said, "even for a cash-rich company like Google."
But he was quick to point out that Google's bluffs in that direction have already caused Verizon and AT&T to announce they are opening their networks to non-proprietary phones. The Open Handset Alliance and Google's intention to bid in the 700 mHz spectrum auction next month has the big carriers churning.
Isn't competition interesting?

Isabel showerhead
The Isabel showerhead, from Show House by Moen, eliminates uneven water pressure by letting water collect in the center of the head before being shot out of 100 jets. A lever toggles between April shower and hard-rain's-gonna-fall mode, and a thermostatic valve keeps water at a preset temperature that won't fluctuate, even if a family member flushes the toilet while you're washing up. $260; showhouse.moen.com

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Fundraising is already tough right now
for non-profits, but it just got a little tougher for three of the
state's public universities.
Florida, Florida State and Florida A&M won't be receiving some
$64 million in state matching grants this year.
Legislators put a hold on the funds because of the budget
deficit. College officials say that hurts two ways -- in the loss
of direct revenue and in the loss of money people might have given
knowing it would be doubled by the state.
The State University System says lawmakers haven't yet decided
if matching grants would be reintroduced in the 2009-2010 budget

Hi folks
Are there any tutorials anywhere that assist with customizing the Constructor theme?
I've made some mods and it seems pretty straightforward in many places. but in other places I'm finding myself totally confused. For example, I see that when I'm customizing the theme I may choose a Sidebar location. But something called an "Extrabar" is listed too. It isn't clear whether I have to choose to have TWO sidebars at all times or if I can have some pages with a Sidebar configured and others with an Extrabar.
And the Content area is totally bewildering. There is some verbiage that advises you may configure with Widgets? I thought widgets were only for the sidebar. But this is suggesting a sidebar called After N post. Would be way cool if someone knows of a YouTube video or something that demonstrates customizing this theme by adjusting these items.
Cheers... Rick :)

St. Vincent's Redevelopment Plans
St. Vincent's redevelopment plans include, you guessed it, luxury condos. Whodathunkit? What were you expecting, a mall?
Which is great if you're interested in buying a West Village apartment in a few years. After all, some of the most lovely blocks in all of New York City can be found tucked away in this historic district, especially once the famed Manhattan grid goes haywire and these tree-lined streets twist and loop around until even veteran New Yorkers can lose their bearings (if you've ever found yourself at the corner of West 4th and West 10th–streets that by all rights should be six blocks apart AND should never intersect!–you know what I mean).
Plus, in addition to the neighborhood's relentless charm, West Village apartments are also never more than a few blocks away from many of New York City's best restaurants (personal favorites, for different moods, include The Spotted Pig, Little Owl, Malatesta, Joseph Leonard, Morandi, Empellon, Red Farm, Fatty Crab, Hakata Tonton… ok that's enough for now).
And it's great place to raise a family, the West Village. And to shop. And the Hudson River Park is right there, and that's really nice, too. The only thing NOT so great about looking for an apartment in the West Village is that everyone else would like to live there too, and the prices (high) and availability (low) are reflected accordingly.
Anyway, if a West Village apartment is in your budget–or, of course, if you can't afford to live there but, like me, spend plenty of time in the neighborhood, which, by the way, is one of the best things about living in almost ANY NYC rental apartment, the easy access that you have to all other parts of town–here's some news from the neighborhood that I found interesting recently, and so maybe will you.
One of the most contentious projects in recent memory for West Village residents has been the shutting down, and subsequent plans to redevelop, the sprawling St. Vincent's Hospital complex. Late last month the City Planning Commission unanimously approved the Rudin Management's proposal to build luxury condos and retail space in the space, as well as a public park–including an AIDS Memorial–on the St. Vincent's triangle, a parcel of land bounded by 12th Street and Seventh and Greenwich Avenues.
Despite months of criticism for the Rudin Management redevelopment plan by West Village residents, and the opposition of Community Board 2, who feel that luxury housing–450 units!–is the last thing the neighborhood needs, and despite the fact that there is still the city Council vote to come, it seems that St. Vincents Hospital, which closed in 2010, will, in fact, never be used for community healthcare again.
As if the dispute over the St Vincent's redevelopment plan haven't been enough, the fight over the design of the AIDS Memorial in Triangle Park is sure to be equally emotionally charged. So far Rudin has refused to consider the winner of the grassroots AIDS Memorial Park coalition design contest, a unique, powerful piece called Infinite Forest by Brooklyn studio a+i, chosen by a star-studded panel of architects, activists, and planners from among 475 entries.
Infinite Forest is elegant in its simplicity: basically, it's a walled-off triangle filled with trees, the interior of which is lined with mirrors (hence the Infinite effect), the exterior of which is covered in slate, so rather than etching into the memorial the names of the some 100,000 New Yorkers who have died of AIDS, visitors will be able to write the names, in chalk, of loved ones lost, all of which will be washed away naturally with each rainfall. We'll see what Rudin counters with, but since Infinite Forest has already garnered a lot of support, I can't imagine it won't be met with controversy.

Unique Qualities: If you intend to stay in this area, this would be a good place to do so. Although small and lacking in amenities, its a friendly place, with hiking trails along the beach. Check out the suite with the jacuzzi on a deck overlooking the water. Its more expensive, but sitting in the jacuzzi sipping wine while listening to the ocean is all you'll have for nightlife in this town. There's a free breakfast included in the room rate as well.

When Robbing Bergdorf, Always Have an Exit Strategy
Or any strategy, really.
Repeat crook Alexis Sky, 33, has a problem with her criminal strategy: She doesn't have an end game. Take the time she got a $206 manicure she couldn't afford, and ended up just grabbing and shaking the arm of her manicurist when she was asked to pay up. Or all the cab rides she took with no intention of paying (but also no exit strategy for when the cabbie called the police). Or the times she attempted to rob Sephora and Bergdorf Goodman, but had no plan for how to get out of the buildings with her goods. Or the time she tried to steal a nose job.
Her latest arrest was for an even more brazen scheme: She offered up a sublet on a luxurious apartment on East 72nd Street, accepting a $4,000 deposit from a hapless renter, without actually having an apartment to offer. Naturally, when the guy showed up at the building, ready to move in, and managers had no idea what he was talking about, the jig was up. She spent three days in Rikers and is currently out on bail. Her lawyer denies wrongdoing.
We checked out the woman's website, on which she sells jewelry, and were amused to read the way she describes herself. "With a following of models, socialites, humanitarians and other stylishly elect, Alexis Sky translates an undeniably urban energy both at her Manhattan design studio and private showroom," she explains. "Alexis designs jewelry for women of assurance, admiration, and allure." You know, the kind that steal cab fares.

putting my new laptop to sleep, and it takes about 30 seconds before the power-button starts doing the "blinking" that lets me know it's sleeping. during this time (between me pushing the sleep button and the blinking) my computer's screen is off and it's completely unusable.
resuming from sleep is snappy enough, but start-sleep to sleeping is frustrating slow. any suggestions on how to speed it up?
some things i tried.....
I have tried disabing hibernate (just in case) but that has no effect. also i tried the hybrid sleep but that also seems to have no effect.
i'm using a lenovo yoga 13, and so also tried the oem's specific power configuration tool, but that also has no effect on my problem.

California's crazy gas price spike may be over - for now - as prices dropped overnight by an average of a half-cent per gallon, to the still stunning level of $4.666. A spate of refinery problems cut the state's gasoline supplies by 122K bbl., or 2.1%, to 5.77M in the week ended Sept. 28, down 10% Y/Y and the lowest inventory level for that period since 1999.
Comments (9)
the entire country will be out of gas within 2-3 years..
"The entire country" was supposed to be out of oil as long ago as 1915:
California is beautiful with great climate. Unfortunately it has a gargantuan government that is punishing those who work. Who pays those onerous propert taxes? Isn't those living in public housing....is the middle class.
I think California would like to go for Romney on economics issues, but the divide on social issues is just too wide. Too bad the Republicans can't come across to seculars, there isn't any real reason why believing in a responsible economy should have to correlate with opposing abortion and gay marriage.

Raw Foodist?
Hey ya'll!
My name is Hannah and I was wondering if I could get your guys opinion on what you think about raw foodist?
Well atleast the ones who know anything about it or are actually raw foodist!
I hope that made sense :???:
You mean like sushi? I looove sushi. Or if your talking about raw veggies and fruits. I like veggies and fruit too ^-^ If thats what your talking about >.>
Hehe well yeah sushi is raw..besides the rice.
but that's not what I was really preferring to..
Raw foodist is mainly a vegetarian way of eating..
We only eat raw nuts,fruits and veggies and well we do make dishes out of them of course (which are yummy).
The reason we do it is because of the living enzymes in foods that we need in order to get the full benefits of certain fruits, veggies or nuts get killed once we cook them. (of course) So we make sure that we get the full benefits of those enzymes so that we can be healthy..Then again I absolutely suck at explaining things though. So sorry if it's confusing..
So far I really love the whole raw foodist thing.. I'm feeling stronger and healthier in my body and mind and no I'm not like some/most people who do this who treat it as some stereotype ..darn hippies! I'm just doing it for my health rather then the social status.
If you'd like to know more you're welcome to google it yourself or look at this Living and Raw Food Diet Information:-D
That sounds really, really awesome!
I should try that. (: Maybe for just a day, to see how it is.
Does that mean you can't eat meat?
well I eat most of the vegitables raw but I don't consider myself a raw foodist :]
actually before I read your post, I always thought raw foodists ate raw meat and stuff
because I used to have a neighbour who ate raw chicken, beef, fish etc.
once when he was a new neighbour and we didn't know him that much, we invited him and his wife over a BBQ and when we offered him some, he asked my dad if he had left any raw meat, than his wife explained that he ate everything raw, I was so scared !
That sounds like my uncle, only I swear he calls it something else, but maybe not it could be just something crazy he calls it, but he has a vegan diet plus doesn't cook anything, no boiled vegetables or steamed or anything.
He says its easy, but I don't think I ever could, and if I did it would be some serious dedication xD.
I don't think I could eat things raw. I don't really think it is that important. Why does he do it?

Sonic creator's Ivy The Kiwi? hits iOS with content cuts
Ivy the Kiwi? has released on iOS in both free and paid flavours. From Sonic creator Yuji Naka, the game is cheaper than its DS and Wii counterparts, but comes with some cuts as a result.
The free version only gives players a portion of levels and features adverts, while the paid edition will cost you £1.99 and has 50 stages.
The game is launching at a £1.99 sale price and will eventually go back up to £3.99. The paid edition only has half of the stages found in the DS build, which could hint at more paid-for content further down the line, or this could just be a trimmed-down release.
Check out the official Ivy the Kiwi? trailer here:

Lenore Skomal: Mom's skill set under attack
I feel sorry for my son's children. Not that he has any I know of, but based on years of listening to how he would parent once given the chance, which strangely has often been in direct opposition to my methods, my heart goes out to these invisible, would-be grandchildren of mine.
Like my fellow parents, I've had a running commentary and critique of my mothering for almost two decades. It'd be more than that if he had spoken his first word earlier in life. But I secretly suspect all that baby babble really translated into "Mom, you're really lame."
If you've ever wondered if you're a good parent, simply ask your kids.
I already know I'm not. Not so much by what my son says but by his sheer belief that he could do this parenting thing better than me. I have come to the conclusion in this damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don't world of mothering, that kids are either Monday morning quarterbacks or like bad bosses. They're quick to criticize the things you do that they could never do. Either way, it's maddening.
This goes way back for me, from his first criticisms, which were always couched with the hypothetical "When I'm a parent" and pretty much went from there. The sentence often ended in the opposite of whatever task I'd made him do. Depending on his age at the time of the rant, it included such things as letting his children play video games for 12 hours straight, roam the streets to all hours, never have a bedtime and never, ever have to brush their teeth.
As he aged, his parenting prowess expanded. His children would be encouraged to live like slobs, never be told what to do and generally experience a live-and-let-live existence with no overbearing, controlling parent getting in the way of their fun. Rules were clearly the fallback of a weak parent; namely, me.
But I take heart, because as this wizened Dr. Spock wannabe ages, his mind expands and maturity and life experiences bring him to his better senses. In a recent conversation, he broke the news to me that he was sorry, but he wouldn't be having any children. The world is too populated as it is, and he couldn't in good conscience add another member to the human race. He'd hoped I wasn't too disappointed.
Disappointed? Try relieved. Simply put, given his exemplary set of parenting guidelines, my grandkids ran the risk of being horrid, sleep-deprived brats with bad teeth.

Critical Rating: AA 1/2

Alexa Rae convincingly plays a stressed-out porn director/producer working on a shoestring budget. She gets conned into fucking Barrett Blade to use his location. The make-up artist is working for free because she owes Alexa money. Other people are working for free simply because of the thrill of being on a porn set. Meanwhile, the lead in Alexa's movie is hopelessly lost until Blade finds her wandering around like a lost pup. He turns her in and expects further sexual favors as a reward. Well, when Alexa gets the call that her male lead isn't showing up because he double booked himself, Blade is sent in as a replacement.
Solid sexual performances by Alexa, Zana (with her trademark squeals) and Barrett Blade help save an otherwise assembly line production.

The hypothesis that allogrooming functions as a tension-reduction mechanism was tested. Tension was measured by the frequency of displacement activities by an animal. Two adult male and 11 adult female Java (or long-tailed) monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) that were relatively unfamiliar with each other were paired 1 hour per day for five consecutive days during the periovulatory portion of the menstrual cycle. Female allogrooming was found to reduce the frequency of male displacement activities both during the course of interaction and outside it, and this decrease was proportional to the amount of allogrooming received. Female allogrooming did not, however, exert long-lasting effects on the frequency of female displacement activities. An increase in the frequency of male displacement activities was recorded during the 10-second interval immediately after the end of the female allogrooming bouts. Neither postinhibitory rebound nor frustration owing to the cessation of a pleasant situation, i.e., the two advanced explanatory hypotheses, accounted for this increase. The results of the present study concur with physiological findings that support the tension-reduction hypothesis. The social function of allogrooming appears quite important and is entirely compatible with the functional hypothesis that emphasizes hygiene.

The new Gordo trunk rack has extra-wide arms (spaced 22 inches apart) for carrying an ElliptiGO bike. A unique combination of cradles, vinyl sleeves and integrated tie-downs ensure that the bike is balanced and secure. It features quick-release adjustment hubs and six strap attachments for a solid fit on most vehicles. Please note that this rack can be used on most SUVs and sedans; however, it will not work on the tailgate of a pickup truck or on a vehicle with an external spare tire mounted on the rear door or a car with a spoiler.
Visit this page of the Hollywood Racks website to see if the Gordo Trunk Rack will fit on your vehicle.
The included modification kit is designed specifically for use with an ElliptiGO bike and enables the user to cleanly slide the bike straight onto the rack, but it does involve removing the original cradles and bump sleeves. If you do not wish to remove the cradles and bump sleeves, please assemble the rack as instructed. See how to install the Gordo Trunk Rack.
This video shows you how to modify the Gordo trunk rack to better fit an ElliptiGO bike. Please note, these changes are permanent modifications to the rack and once these modifications have been made, we cannot honor a return of the product. Please make sure you are comfortable using the rack itself before making the modifications. Compatible with only long-stride models (3C, 8C, 11R)

A dawn-to-dusk hartal called by Islami Chhatra Shibir, student front of Jamaat-e-Islami, is progressing peacefully in Rajshahi, Chapainawabgna and Natore districts on Sunday.
The shutdown was called demanding release of detained Jamaat-Shibir leaders and activists. In Rajshahi, educational institutions and shops remained closed due to the hartal. As HSC and its equivalent examinations were kept out of the purview of the hartal some vehicles carrying the examinees were seen plying the streets.
However, no long route bus left or entered the district. In Chapainawabganj, some pickets put up barricade on road at Shibtola and Tolghar areas in the town by burning tyres and putting tree logs on the roads.
Almost all modes of vehicles, except rickshaws, stayed off the roads and shops kept their shutters down. In Natore, Jamaat-Shibir activists staged demonstration at Harishpur in the town in the morning demanding release or their leaders and activists.
They put up blockade on Natore-Dhaka highway by burning tyres. When police rushed to the spot the hartal supporters left the place.
However, no untoward incident was reported from the three districts till 9:50 am. The hartal was announced on Friday night through a joint statement signed by Anisur Rahman, president of Rajshahi unit Jamaat, and Ashraful Alam Emon, president of Rajshahi University unit.
In the statement, they threatened that if Dr M Jahangir, acting secretary of Jamaat Rajshahi city unit, Anwarul Islam, office secretary of the Shibir city unit, and other arrested Jamaat-Shibir activists are not released within the next 24 hours, they will enforce hartal in the three districts.
On Friday noon, law enforcers arrested Jahangir, also director of Islami Bank Medical College and Hospital, from Naodapara in the city.
Meanwhile, in Laxmipur, a half-day hartal called district Jubo Dal protesting the killing of sadar upazila Jubo Dal vice-president is progressing peacefully in five upazilas Sunday.
Hartal supporters brought out procession at bus terminal, Dakshin Temuhuni, Mandari and Hajirpara in the district town and put up blockade by burning tyres and felling tree logs on the roads. Some crude bombs were also exploded in the morning.
A huge contingent of police was deployed at different strategic points in the town. Jubo Dal leader Nazrul Islam Liton was shot dead by some terrorists at Radhapur village in sadar upazila on Friday night.

Once Upon a Tart...
Once Upon a Tart...
Soups, Salads, Muffins, and More
Knopf, Hardcover, 9780375413162, 384pp.
Publication Date: April 22, 2003
A cookbook in the tradition of The Silver Palate and The Barefoot Contessa . . .
In New York City, famous for its food and restaurants, locals are reverential about the bakeshop and café Once Upon a Tart. For more than a decade, they have been lining up at the store mornings and afternoons, waiting patiently for their signature scones, muffins, soups, salads, sandwiches, cookies, and—of course—tarts. And pretty much since the day the café opened, patrons have been asking—sometimes begging—the proprietors for their sweet and savory recipes. Good news: the wait is over.
In Once Upon a Tart, the café's founders and co-owners, Jerome Audureau (a New Yorker via France) and Frank Mentesana (a New Yorker via New Jersey), go public with their culinary secrets ("We don't have any," says Frank. "That's our biggest secret of all") and recipes. They also tell their inspiring success story, from selling tarts wholesale out of a warehouse in Long Island City to opening their now-famous outpost in Soho.
In nine delicious chapters ranging from savory tarts to cookies, the authors instruct and advise home cooks on everything from how to make the flakiest tart crust ("keep the dough cold") to making sandwiches ("condiments are key") to how to diet ("you want half the calories, eat half the scone"). Once Upon a Tart is packed with more than 225 easy-to-prepare recipes, including all the store classics that have earned Frank and Jerome the devotion of their customers: Caramelized-Leek-and-Celery Tart, Creamy Carrot Soup with Fresh Dill, Pork Loin Sandwich with Frisée and Rosemary-Garlic Aioli, Buttermilk Scones with Dried Currants, Banana–Poppy Seed Muffins, and Strawberry-Rhubarb Tart with Crisp Topping.
Says Frank, "We believe that deep down, everyone is a cook." Adds Jerome, "And that a little butter in your life is a good thing."
Frank Mentesana has spent ten years as owner of Once Upon a Tart. He is the creator of several cooking curricula for children and has recently broadened his involvement with food to include food styling, photography, and gardening. He holds a degree in hotel management and met partner Jerome Audureau while working as a food and beverage director for the French Accor Hotel Group. Frank learned to cook from his Italian grandmother and learned to love food during long forays through markets with his father. His proudest achievement by far is his son, Matthew. Frank lives in New Jersey.
Jerome Audureau grew up in Avignon, France. While running a summer business as part of his studies at Maxine's Hotel and Restaurant School in Paris, he developed an idea for a café dedicated to tarts. He brought this idea with him when he came to the United States, and, along with partner Frank Mentesana, made it into Once Upon a Tart. After ten years, Jerome is still responsible for running the café, remembering which customer likes which cookie, and generally making people feel good. Jerome lives in Long Island City.
Carolynn Carreño is a writer living in New York City.
"Once Upon a Tart is a treasure, chock full of wonderful stories, useful cooking tips, and pages and pages of mouth-watering recipes. A delightful addition to any cookbook collection."
-- Nina Simonds, author of A Spoonful of Ginger
"Once Upon a Tart is the kind of book I can't get enough of: fun, unfussy, and full of helpful cooking tidbits. When I open the book I feel as if I have walked into Frank and Jerome's café. It's a marvelous place to visit, both in person and in these pages."
-- Joan Nathan
"Once Upon A Tart is a magical collection of recipes that will quickly lead you into the kitchen to start cooking and baking."
-- Marion Cunningham

A father and son are due in court after police discovered 350
grams of cocaine and methamphetamine hidden in a Mount
Maunganui apartment block storage unit plus a sizeable sum of
A 50-year-old Tauranga man and his 21-year-old son, both
sickness beneficiaries, will appear in Tauranga District
Court tomorrow.
The drug haul was uncovered on January 20 and follows a
police investigation which began in December last year.
Inside the storage unit, police discovered two sealed bags
containing white powder and a third containing about $15,000
Analysis of the powder has confirmed it to be 130 grams of
the Class A drug cocaine and 220 grams of the Class A drug
Cocaine is an imported, highly addictive powder drug not
commonly found by police in Bay of Plenty.
The seizure follows enquiries at the apartment complex in
December last year when one man was arrested when found in
possession of 6 grams of methamphetamine and 25 grams of
Detective Sergeant Darryl Brazier of the Mount Maunganui
police said: "This is a significant seizure. The cocaine has
a potential street value of between $260,000 and $1 million,
depending on purity, while the methamphetamine alone has a
street value of approximately $220,000."
Cocaine was a highly sought-after and heavily addictive drug
and it was unusual to locate such a large quantity at one
time, he said
"The seizure of this large quantity of drugs, destined for
the street market, will undoubtedly prevent significant
community harm. We will continue to treat any information
concerning drug-dealing activity with urgency."
Enquiries are continuing and more arrests are likely.

Verizon Agrees to Pay Disney for ABC Station Signals
Verizon Communications Inc.'s FiOS pay-TV service will start paying Walt Disney Co. for access to local signals from 10 ABC stations owned by the media company.
The agreement is part of a broader deal giving FiOS subscribers online access to Disney's ESPN cable programs, while also covering Disney cable channels ABC Family, Disney Channel and Disney Junior, the companies said today in a statement. Terms weren't disclosed.
The ABC agreement advances Disney's efforts to receive so-called retransmission fees from pay-TV carriers for signals that are available free over the air. Disney has similar deals with Cablevision Systems Corp., the New York-area cable company, and with New York-based Time Warner Cable Inc.
The accord covering the cable channels and ESPN online was announced in October. Starting today, Verizon's 3.3 million FiOS customers have access to ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU and ESPN Buzzer Beater, which provides live clips of college basketball games, through personal computers and mobile devices.
Disney, based in Burbank, California, rose 5 cents to $43.75 at 11:59 a.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. The shares had advanced 17 percent this year before today, the second-highest gain among stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Verizon, based in New York, added 22 cents to $36.39.

Hi, sorry if this problem has already been addressed. I have looked but not found anything that resolves my issue...
I changed a category on one of my links and now my site won't load.
Site details:
URL: cre8-ed.co.cc
Hosting: 000webhostin.com - I run several sites from here, all others working fine. FTP work for the site, and no issues are reported with the host.
Theme: Custom-Community
The site was working fine and the only change made was to deselect a category from one of my links. After that, firefox timed out
I have tried IE, Opera, Chrome, and Rockmelt - all browsers time out and tell me the site is unavailable.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Disregard, I went back in and changed in Visual not HTML and it's working great.
First welcome to the US, I read that you just recently moved.
I love this map except that the only marker I can get to display is the 1-default.png. If I try to use any other marker, it's not displayed at all. I'm not understanding where the markers are coming from nor why they would not be displayed.
Here's my site: http://pacificpalmsvillage.com/7-our-neighborhood
I'd like to put the condominium.png for my base marker and also add the army.png (which is actually Air Force) for the base nearby, but each time I change the images in the shortcode, it stops displaying marker.
Any help on this would be great.

LinkedIn Gets More Serious About Visual Content With Enhanced Updates Feature
Visual content is all the rage these days and it seems that LinkedIn is catching the fever, too. At the beginning of this month, the social network introduced a feature enabling users to post visual content (e.g., images, videos, presentations, etc.) to their profiles. Today, LinkedIn is announcing an enhanced updates feature, which lets users add images, documents and presentations to their updates right from the home page.
"Whether it's a thought provoking presentation about the future of big data or it's a picture of an inspirational quote, or perhaps it's an infographic showing the top trends impacting your industry, the possibilities are endless for what you can share on LinkedIn to add a richer and more visual component to your professional discussions," writes Itamar Orgad, senior product manager at LinkedIn.
The new feature, which will be rolled out to all users in the next few weeks, appears as a paper clip on the right side of the update box on the home page. When clicked, the user can choose what kind of file to upload

Elegant & sturdy will make any room look beautiful.
Decided to take a chance on this headboard and I'm very happy that I did. I ordered two for a remodeling job and they both arrived in excellent condition. Needed headboards that took up the least amount of visual space since the room is small. I was concerned with the height of the headboards being to large for the space. Fortunately, they make a soft statement without overpowering the room. The shape of the headboards are unique and provided the finishing touch for my project.. Although the head boards are reminiscent of an old antique iron bed, they fit very nicely with a more contemporary black and white bedspread.. The white enamel coating is beautiful and well done.The headboards are solidly made. I'm very pleased with this purchase. Thank you Overstock!
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? same
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Excellent
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? very accurate
Received the headboard promptly. The packaging was extremely poor and badly torn and bent during shipping. The headboard had not been cushioned securely enough for safe arrival. On the top of the headboard where the tube meets the top round bar, the rose was partially chipped off as was part of the tube. Then the second tube from the left was welded in crooked. Overstock.com promptly replaced the headboard, but the second shipment was an entirely different headboard and even included a footboard. It also arrived damaged because of the flimsy cardboard box and lack of cushioning around the frames. Ended up keeping all of the damaged stuff with $15 credited to my account. As aggravated and frustrated as this situation was, I have shopped with Overstock.com for years and have never had these problems in the past. Overstock.com always replies promptly and tries to handle a situation courteously, promptly, and to the customer's satisfaction.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Good
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The quality of construction is very poor. Headboard is thin and fragile.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Okay


text: Hello Circus Maximus, I will be combining the postgames for Red Panda Mafia and the ill-fated BIGS into one thread, starting with Red Panda. Red Panda Mafia This game was 'designed' with Empoof. He was clearly the source of the theme and we decided that, to mix up the mafia scene, we would have a game where teams created their own roles. This meant hosts couldn't think info teams and guard teams and so on were a good idea and if a team was crap, it wasn't our fault! Our balancing didn't suck, your picking did! Red Panda Mafia allowed each team to buy their roles from a certain pool over two nights, each team having the same money to make things equal. You had to have each member have 1 role before one could have 2, and then each had to have 2 before one could have 3, and so on, if you were able to afford that. So you couldn't stack every role except BG onto one guy then SG your BG. Empoof vanished while the game was being designed, however, because he decided he needed to focus on school. billymills was a key figure in finishing the game and helping me host it. He helped balance out the roles that would be put in as well as their prices, considering the gold given to teams. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AlHTGRn_Mj2mdExIbUNPTkJ4VG1JTG9CR1JTS2pLLUE&usp=sharing Here is the spread. BARP1 and 2 (Buy a Red Panda) are the tabs you will probably find most interesting as they have some scratchwork on them and are the lists of the roles available. There's also sheets with me adding actions and then billy's double-checked actions. And Prio sheet for those wondering what order your things cast in. The front sheet is of course the list of the factions' members, the roles they picked up and their channels. If any factions want to make their sheets public go ahead. The factions were assigned members by me, based on 1 of 2 things: they had 2 old veterans and 2 new faces, who would hopefully not be randed after their vets were prioritized, or they had 4 consistent members of the community who should be watched by the other teams but not directly focused. Mekkah and jumpluff were put on the RP in Love together and could ally with Lightwolf, but both teams had members I was least sure about participating. As it turns out Katya was like the first death in the game lol. Each faction could ally with two others that they needed half-dead and one they didn't need dead, and two they had to kill. I think it was possible to have three winners maximum, I don't think four was possible as two of the teams would have needed each other dead I'm pretty sure. Thus, negotiating with other factions was a big factor in who would win. The RP in Love and Baby Pandas shot far ahead in this category, working together once they found they were allies, and pulling the RP in Zoos into their circle as well. They arranged a system where they could lock down other factions almost entirely and agreed to kill their own members off so the requirement was met for factions to be halved. The other factions were just not vocal or active enough to make an alliance like this and wound up getting wiped out. This trio was capable of kidnapping an entire faction to control the vote thoroughly and just pressed their advantage from there once they discovered their capabilities. The Love Pandas had a role duplicator and each team had a kidnapper giving them 4 maximum kidnaps, as well as two hookers and a hookguard. They had a lot of power between them that the other factions couldn't combat. However, one of the other factions screwed up their SG chains and got kidnapped because of priority - they didn't have the two SG or hookguards target each other, maybe there was a third in the mix, and this ruined their chain and lost them any comeback potential. I have nothing much to say about individual players at this point in time, the game is too far back for my memory, except Layell stepped up once LW and zorbees bit the dust to maintain his alliance with Love and Zoos so his team didn't get left behind, and jumpluff was of course a big factor in her alliances and team's win as she did most of the coordinating. None of the teams wanted to stab each other, while the other teams unfortunately just didn't get an alliance fast enough to counteract the massive kidnap power. Did any team pick particularly weak roles? No, I don't think so, the Middle Aged Pandas had very good picks but they never chained their guards right so they couldn't pull off anything. I think if I had to pick a worst team buy, I would go with the Old Pandas, as they had a Prio Raise and Role Duplicator but no SG or Kidnap so there was a good chance they could get messed over. Teenage Basement had a role duplicator but no real good role to use it on. Personally I think the Love had a really good assortment of roles that was supplemented by their allies as well. Of course, the highlight of the game was the ridiculously fast-paced final cycles, brought on by the consistent hooking of entire factions they couldn't counter and the voting dominance of the winning trio. And then pokemonrocks777. When his team told him he would be sacrificed so their allies could win, he went insane. He felt betrayed and thought that he could only win if he was alive, but of course, Mekkah and jumpluff would stay alive together. He tried to post his entire team and allies' roles and mess with their spreadsheet but by this time his tampering was entirely too late for the other teams to do anything with. Also he was unintelligible the entire time posting nonsense. We tried to calm him down since it was a worthy sacrifice to meet his end for his allies to win but he just provided us with a hilarious series of posts. The Game Thread Role PM Sheet So that's that. Congrats to the Babies, Love and Zoos for forging a strong alliance and having the roles to remove your competition entirely from having votes or night actions. Words of wisdom for anyone looking to make a Build Your Own mafia: -Every team needs equal gold to buy with unless there's not equal numbers or one team has access to better roles -Powerful roles need to be more gold but not outrageously priced so nobody buys them -Cheap roles like Sheriff instead of Inspector can help a team not fly blind with no info but afford more gamechanging roles -Give them a role for their leftover gold if they can't buy anything good, so they can have fun -Role duplicator may or may not be OP coupled with Prio Boost and Kidnap, so make sure teams can't afford buying all of these -You may or may not want to reveal all of the roles available if they're bought on separate days at once, so teams can already plan for what they buy, or you can have them buy all at once -If you can try to ensure each faction has a leader who is capable of pulling an idler's weight while you hunt for a sub, thus they can't be busy during the time the game goes on, but hopefully every team can get well known members of the community -Fancy WCs are fun to make allies with BIGS x.x I had the spreadsheet for a BIGS game for quuuuuite a while. It wasn't originally part of the SANDS set and I hadn't worked on it for months if not a year. It was also never finished. Then billymills and DLE thought it'd be funny to make a signup thread for BIGS for April Fools. SO I fooled them right back and edited the rules and made an actual game. I threw together the forums with pluff's help in a rush and I must say, the theme was so good.. the avatars would shift to be the villain unmasked when the role died at the start, since it was a Scooby Doo theme with the aliases being villains. You gotta admit that was a nice touch. And then the game began. Spreadsheet Anon Forum The first page of the spreadsheet is the original game I had. I decided that the roles I had there weren't as original, crafty or interesting as I really wanted, and had never been able to shift them into. SO I took the factions, the role names, and made up roles as I sent out every PM. HERP DERP NEVER DO THIS EVER Neutrals The original Duo Wolf team was pushed down to one Wolf, as Lonelyness had requested the role of Wolf and I had to cut one of them because of how many people had signed up. Then he wound up IDLING FOR MOST OF THE GAME despite my nagging and did nothing, despite his powerful roles. All I have to say there. Would he have won in this game's design? He had nobody to help him mole anyone and he was flying solo so no I don't think he had a strong chance but if he played his cards right and kept safe, then yeah, he had very strong roles. Also there was Ullar. He dearly wanted to play but I didn't want to doom him to ruining a faction, so I put him in as a neutral that was utterly harmless and needed I think the only item in the game, that did nothing. He had a chance to get it either voted to him or handed to him but he refused to speak up and admit he needed the item to win so he got killed off and lost. Easiest win ever and he just.. herped. The Pink These guys had a strong group, Mekkah, jumpluff, Layell, LightWolf, DLE, Walrein. Unfortunately as it turns out, their roles were simply unable to be executed as I had hoped. They had a lot of controlly type things, and random things. They also had chaining roles. They did a ton of things with the vote. But almost all of those were random. They might have accidentally gotten themselves killed. Their only really good role that didn't need revision was the Omniguard. Real talk this team would have worked perfectly if I didn't make almost all their roles have randomized outcomes. The fact they couldn't actually dictate their control screwed them over. Layell's role of increasing vote power was a lategame MONSTER though, if they could keep him alive and from voting, he could easily have pushed a vote to majority himself by the time half the game was dead with his stacks. But they just had nothing else to work with. And they complained the most. Rightfully so I guess, having too many random things was just bad, even though they were meant to make plays during the day and affect votes. The Solar Space themed dudes here doing spacey things, like spacing out all game and doing nothing. You recognize all the names on this team at first glance and know all of them are good players, yet they were very inconsistent and idled the entire time. It was hard to get many of them working together. They were the last faction to unite and it was well after they should have because they kept being retarded. They honestly had really, really good roles. They had an extra kill, a kill ENSURE to take out bodyguarded targets, a rogue who could rogue more factions if he was successful, a watcher who saw everyone who targeted people in a chain, an omniguard, and a guy who could protect their entire faction if they got word they were gonna be hit in one night. Yet they did nothing. These roles went to waste on players who didn't commit. Imagine if the Pink's dedicated players had these roles to work with.. lol. Oh well. The Deathrays They killed stuff? This team had a bunch of old vets, billy, dak, Lesm, and shade. The rest of their team was randoms and players who were known but not really for big plays. dak's role, an evolving Pokemon, was a poor idea on my part because I had no evolution planned out when the game began lol. You all should PROBABLY do that. However the team had a lot of offensive power. shade could reverse a kill towards his team, I actually don't know what pokemonrocks777's role was but I'm pretty sure it was a suicider who took out 2 or 3 people with him, dak was supposed to get a kill on evolution, I think, and they had a dude who couldn't be nightkilled at all. I guess, looking at this, they didn't actually have a lot of consistent roles. A bunch of them are one-timers or every other night, but they did have a fair bit to work with, as well as strong allies. Their team was led by their vets, who found their fellow vet friends and kept a low profile. They had one of the few information roles in the game which allowed them to gather info while giving none, and flavor dictated faction. The Deep Sea creatures!!!!!! This team had the other half of old vet players: Raikage, Fishin, and Bass. Snype helped them out a lot with decisions and leading, but overall they had a pretty active team. I think this was one of the strongest assigned teams because only Lady Salamence really has a history of big idling. This team had the only alias/Smogon role - they could determine aliases of Smogon users, which nobody else could do. Goldenknight made a BPV after he stacked his armor that he could pass on, and they also had a lynchguard. And a bodyguard. And a safeguard. But no omniguard!! And a nightly hooker plus an all-game hooker, sort of role that could be used if they knew they'd all be targeted. I think the Deep were overall the best team, with the most activity, the best group of players, and the best roles. They had a lot of protection and could play very defensively, as well as a Watcher to gain access on who targeted who. Their delayed kill or BPV AND BG probably shouldn't have existed as they just had a lot of things they could do. However, I do like the BPV-producing role. These guys hooked up with the Deathrays, who they could win with, as both teams had pretty much not lost any members, and just muscled down the rest of the game. Nobody ever really got a hold of their aliases and I think their only death was just a randkill, or maybe whoever killed him knew. Fruits and Vegetables Herp derp team 2.0. Again, you would recognize every team on this list as current players of mafia at the time and not people who generally idled, but this team.. rofl. I had to sub in Bagman 3 or 4 times back onto his own team because they kept losing people and had so many idlers. Endless chain of subs for the poor F&V. They tried to ally with both of their possible allies, however, the Pink and the Solar did nothing but tunnel each other and kept killing between themselves, allowing the victors to go unscathed. The F&V were the unfortunate victims of their allies overcrossfiring, as well as inactivity. This was like the only team that actually had reliable information. They had two inspections and a team dickens which was pointless because nobody had an inspector rofl. They were negative voters meant to pose as someone they aren't, and could do a bunch of various things. In the end they really were the victims of their allies screwing them over and weren't able to use their information well enough, or find any of their enemies to kill. DED GAEM Around the time this game was going on I started getting big into League of Legends. Mafia was getting old and tired and unoriginal and I was getting disinterested. The Pink constantly complaining, the struggle of subbing a F&V every day and worrying about the idiot idling Solars was just grating and I stopped changing avatars and caring as much as I should've. I think the game went a few days without its final update naming the victors and just ending things. But that's not really new for hosts to do. If the teams had been better designed or just didn't qq all the time I wouldn't have gotten so annoyed and tired of the game I think. Balancing teams has always been my weakest point, I toss roles out and look to see that each team has something special and some of the same power roles but I can't really chart out how those will interact. So of course, making everything up as I wrote role PMs was not the best balancing, at all. The RNG was used way too much for some teams' actions and they were just not crafted well enough to be competitive. However, I think there were a lot of cool roles in the game. The Deathray and Deep in particular have some compelling roles with cool twists and someone like Crux who was entirely untargetable was an interesting dynamic because people could waste time hitting him. There were also big one-time-only roles that could've dramatically changed the game's outcome if the game progressed evenly and teams had better knowledge of plans. Imagine if the Deep were aware that their enemies would hit them one night and hooked the entire game to stay alive. Unfortunately all the cool things that might've worked were just not able to play out, and we got the game we did. April Fools? Come on nobody should have taken the game TOO seriously, it should've been clear this was an April Foolsish joke x.x I did have the spread but it got totally scrapped for its original, unfinished roles anyway. It was meant to just be fun but my roles for the Pink and the idling and crossfire didn't let that happen. My apologies to those who took the game vvvery seriously expecting a well-balanced and delicately-crafted game that had actually been worked on for two years. A. it was a SANDS game don't b playin B. it could've been better designed for the rush job I did anyway. However I hope the winners still had fun and enjoyed the game as well as those who were active and struggling with idlers or bad roles. I have no individual player writeups, sorry, the game was a year ago and I don't have thorough enough notes or memories. If you would like personal feedback you can ask me for what I remember. All in all, BIGS was not what I had intended to produce and it did not play out as I wanted, partially because of my bad design for some factions, my latent bad balancing, and idlers. I was losing interest with mafia at the time anyway and haven't really played many games since, or been invested in those games. However, I hope those of you who played still enjoyed what you could, like the changing avatars and any good roles you had, as well as the company of your team. That's all I have to say on BIGS - I wish it had gone better, I wish I hadn't decided to rush it as an April Fools joke, I wish the Pink's roles weren't so dumb, nobody should EVER use random role outcomes again, ever, but I think it had a lot of cool roles that would work well if tweaked and I hope people had fun regardless. WHAT'S NEXT AQUANAfia is in the works. I'm done with bigger games and oversized playlists for an undersized community of players who won't idle. I need to refine AQUA and write role PMs and see if jumpluff still wants to cohost it but it's a small game with really fun roles that's just good ole village vs mafia fun. Look for it to be more like MAG where it's not full chaos SANDS tier or good fun democracy like Red Panda. But that's what you can look forward to! No more SANDS, no more multifaction, just a fun, small game with some neat roles that will prompt you to interact.
