Social media attribution is BIG news.
Marketers are struggling to attribute revenue to social channels, and lack of definable ROI is one of the major reasons that businesses cut back on social investment.
I spend a lot of time looking at our own social attribution, but it strikes me that in many cases, the closer I look, the less clear a picture I have.
This isn't because the figures I have to work with aren't clear.
It's because, in a lot of cases, they might not be true...

It's been a riotous week on #TheDigitals leaderboard, with nefarious ReTweet covenants being struck, random hashtagging explosions and even a bit of cold hard cash being thrown around as various parties try their best to scale to the dizzy heights of superstar of the week!
In the end though there can be only one, so this week we're congratulating web and online marketing whizz (and occasional Econsultancy guest blogger) Dan Barker – Well done Dan!

Twitter is Econsultancy's largest and busiest social channel. At time of writing we have about 125,000 followers there, and are growing consistently.
Keeping an eye on all the activity there and looking for useful opportunities takes up a substantial part of my day, and while there are a number of paid services that can update me and keep me supplied with reports, I also like to check in realtime throughout the day.
I thought I'd quickly run through the various searches I have in place so that you can set up an effective realtime monitoring station...

Image sharing social platform Pinterest is currently testing a new look, granting access to a 'select few' users before rolling out changes to in the near future.
So far, so-so. Not a day passes without social sites tinkering with their layout or functionality, but given Pinterest's incredible performance in the realm of ecommerce referrals, this could be an important one.
Let's take a closer look...

Not all Twitter followers are created equal.
Chasing large numbers for their own sake is a very dangerous game that a lot of brands still fall into, but unless you're doing customer service there's often no real point in following back everyone who follows you.
That isn't to say that there's no value in a large audience. Having a thousand people who really do like your brand and who talk about you has all sorts of benefits, from increasing lead potential to good old fashioned brand lift. Buzz really does count in many cases.
With this in mind, how do you sort the wheat from the chaff, and how do you make sure your important followers stick with you? I've been looking into the levels of churn on our own accounts recently, and thought it would be worth sharing my findings and start thinking about ways to address this...

In a surprising move, it appears LinkedIn has plans to turn off its 'Answers' Q&A section at the end of January.
The official word is that "As of Jan. 31, LinkedIn Answers will be retired from LinkedIn. We will be focusing our efforts on the development of new and more engaging ways to share and discuss professional topics across LinkedIn" (some users have received emails to this effect, although so far there's little on LinkedIn's official blog about the move).
It appears that LinkedIn will be using this change to drive more engagement around groups and pages, but is this really a good thing?

Back in 2011, sentiment analysis for Twitter was just beginning to phase into mainstream business conciousness.
So, when London-based DCM Capital announced a hedge fund based on Twitter sentiment it was a bold move that ultimately didn't gain the exposure the company were looking for, and the project closed after a few short months.
The company has continued to refine its algorithms however, and recently spoke to Bloomberg about their latest project: A spread-betting platform based entirely on social media sentiment...

NAPERVILLE — Coyote sightings are up in the region, and residents want to know what to do about it.
A number of residents showed up at a special community forum last week headlined by naturalist Jack MacRae of the DuPage County Forest Preserve District.
MacRae responded to reasons why coyote-related calls were this summer easily eclipses totals from either 2010 and 2011 for the entire year.
"As I've said before, I think awareness has increased throughout the area and we've had these animals living with us for years," MacRae said. "The facts are that suburban and urban areas provide more resources for these animals than rural places, so we're more liable to see them as conditions get harsh."
Dry weather and heat have impacted the animals' need for food and water, MacRae said, a fact confirmed by MacRae's colleague, Stephanie Touzalin, who works with MacRae at the Willowbrook Wildlife Center.
"With this drought, the coyotes are looking for resources and with the breeding season, either before or after it, the animals are forced to spread themselves further looking for the resources they need," Touzalin said. "People seeing them should not avoid the situation as these animals quickly learn if something frightens them or not. People need to be aggressive towards them to discourage their being around."
MacRae said increased media coverage of coyote sightings has likewise increased the number of reports to local officials.
"Whenever the amount of media coverage goes up, so does the awareness, which is a good thing in that it can be beneficial for those who don't know," he said. "My hunch is that the number of coyotes hasn't increased that much, given the normal cycle of animals that rise and fall."
MacRae's presentation included a history of coyotes in the Chicago area, followed by tracking data on animals tagged with radio collars along with tips on what to do if residents encounter a coyote.
Some area residents generally expressed a desire to know more about the animals as well as how to deal with them. Pam and Wayne Szczsponik of Naperville said they have spotted a coyote at least half a dozen times already this year.
"My dog, who is a big lab, must have smelled him as we were walking by the Naper Library," Pam said. "His tail went between his legs and his ears went down and he didn't want to move. We want to learn about the coyote's behavior and find out if it is a threat."
Andy Arrigo of Geneva said he was interested in questions provided by the audience and added he believes the coyote population is growing.
"There's no question in my mind there are more of them in the Chicago area than there used to be," Arrigo said. "My wife and I don't have pets or concerns of that nature, but we are interested in getting information."

Rush, Deep Purple, Public Enemy and N.W.A. are among the group of first-time nominees for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
They join returnees Heart, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Randy Newman, Donna Summer and Kraftwerk among the 15 artists vying for entry.
Even in the iPod age, the list of nominees up for induction in 2013 is as eclectic as they come. Nominees differ wildly in sound, origin and influence, ranging from the enduring prog rock of Canadian trio Rush and Procul Harum to German proto-electronica act Kraftwerk, the disco of Chic and Summer to the New Orleans funk of The Meters and the blues of Albert King and the Paul Butterfield Blues Band.
Motown also is represented by first-ballot entries The Mavelettes.
Joel Peresman, President and CEO of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation, acknowledged the extreme variety of this year's nominee class in a Thursday news release.
"The definition of 'rock and roll' means different things to different people, but as broad as the classifications may be, they all share a common love of the music," Peresman said. "This year we again proudly put forth a fantastic array of groups and artists that span the entire genre that is 'rock and roll.'"
A group of 600 artists, music historians and members of the industry will choose 2013's inductees. They will be honored April 18 in Los Angeles.
It's the sixth time on the ballot for Summer, but the first since her death in May at age 63. Chic is on the ballot for the seventh time since 2003.

IW 1, Basingstoke V 0
IW MOVED to the top of Hampshire 5 with a narrow win over promotion hopefuls Basingstoke at Smallbrook last weekend.
Again employing a new-look formation and system of play, and encouraged by coach Paul Jennings from the dugout, IW found a resilient Basingstoke tough to break down.
The visitors seldom threatened the Island, but when they did keeper Tom Butt easily dealt with any shots.
The Basingstoke keeper was playing well, denying Craig Bruce and Colin Simmonds with two good saves as it looked like being a frustrating afternoon for the home side.
With half time approaching, IW got the breakthrough their play deserved when Simon Butler's shot from a penalty corner hit the keeper and flew into the net.
The second half was similar to the first, with IW leading in terms of possession but finding Basingstoke difficult to break down, and the home team would rarely test the keeper.
The visitors too were frustrated trying to garner serious chances, with the Island's defence again playing well and marshalling any attacks well.
Despite not adding to their lead, IW held out to secure three hard earned points.

Awesome jerseys. They breath well and look very durable. I am very excited to hand them out to the new team for Summer 1.
L. HUTCHENS (Oklahoma) on April 17, 2013
Love the High 5 brand and these vests meet the expectation! Have had the same High 5 vests the last 6 years and have handed them down from one youth team to a second and they are still in great shape. Picked up a few extra kids this year and needed to match up with the others. Epic Sports customized the vests to a perfect match with tackle twill across the front and back. Will continue to purchase from Epic Sports. Great products at great prices. Keep up the good work!

I hope everyone enjoys Sheena Barnett's cover story on Eric Stogner in this week's Neighbors section, as well as the photo slideshow and video of Eric and his Full Tilt bandmates here on nems360.com.
It's rare for me to go on a Neighbors assignment to a nightclub, so this was a good chance to work and enjoy some good live music. I appreciate the band and Bogart's for allowing me to take some shots during the band's first set of songs.

Motor Legal Assistance – for policies purchased from 13 June 2012
Motor Legal Protection – for policies purchased before 13 June 2012
Who underwrites AA Car Insurance?
The underwriter is the person who looks at the risk of insuring you and who works out how much you should pay for your insurance. We find the best car insurance deal for you by comparing quotes from our hand-picked group of insurers. The insurer who gives you the best value for money on your car insurance will be your underwriter.
Do AA members get a discount on car insurance?
Let us know that are an AA member when you get a quote online. You could get a discount when you insure your car with us for the first time.
As an AA member you also get higher levels of car insurance cover when you buy your cover from the AA.
What is a protected no-claims discount?
A no-claims discount is a reward for not making a claim on your motor insurance policy. Your no-claims discount will normally go down at your next renewal after a claim if your insurance company cannot get their money back from the person responsible or you can't get the money back you had to pay out of your own pocket.
You can pay up to 15% more for your car insurance to protect your no-claims discount so that you can make two of these 'non-recoverable' claims in a three- or five-year period without getting less no-claims discount.
What is the AA Uninsured Driver Promise?
If you make a claim following an accident that is not your fault, and the driver of the other vehicle is not insured, you will not lose your no-claims discount or have to pay any excess.
We just ask you to tell us the other vehicle's make, model and valid registration number.
What is a policy excess?
An excess is the part of the costs of a claim for loss or damage to your car that you have to pay out of your own pocket. Your insurance will be cheaper if you agree to pay more of these costs yourself. There are two types of policy excess:
Compulsory excess – the insurer will decide how much you'll be asked to pay for each claim before you buy the motor insurance policy. Check that you are comfortable with how much you'll have to pay for each claim before you buy a car insurance policy.
Voluntary excess – the amount you'd be prepared to pay on top of the compulsory amount. The higher you go, the lower your premium.
Can I pay a voluntary excess?
Yes, you can pay less for your car insurance if you agree to pay some of the cost of any claim for loss of or damage to your car.
What is a Thatcham security device?
The Motor Insurance Repair Research Centre tests car security products for insurers. It's better known as 'Thatcham' after the Berkshire town where it's based. Most insurers like these products and give you discounts if you get them for your car.
What is a tracking device?
The police can track a stolen car with an electronic signal sent by this bit of kit hidden in the car. Most cars that have this are found after they are stolen. You can pay up to 10% less for your motor insurance if your car has a tracking device.
Back to topCan I get motor insurance that starts right now?
Yes. You can get car insurance that starts straight away online or over the phone.
Can I drive abroad with my car insurance?
You get the minimum insurance needed in any EU country if you buy any private car insurance in the UK. Your AA Car Insurance also gives you the same motor insurance cover you get in the UK for up to 90 days in a year.
So you have comprehensive cover when you drive in any EU country as a comprehensive policyholder. You can get extra motor insurance for longer periods and for countries outside the EU.
Learn more about AA Car Insurance for driving abroad
Can I spread my payments and pay by monthly instalments?
Yes, we do offer the option to pay by monthly instalments on most quotes.
If you choose to pay by monthly instalments, we'll ask you to make an initial payment by debit or credit card. The balance will then be payable over 11 monthly instalments by direct debit.
How secure is my online payment?
You want to keep your personal details and your credit or debit card information private and secure when you buy online. We give you this security by using secure server software that encrypts any information you give us online. It takes the characters you enter and converts them into a secret code, which is then securely sent to us.

AA Car Insurance gives you cover for up to 90 days in the EU
As an AA Car Insurance policyholder you can drive anywhere in the EU, and in several other European countries, with the cover you enjoy in the UK, for up to 90 days during the 12 months of your policy.
Your car insurance cover is valid in all European Union countries:
Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden.
You are also insured for driving abroad in these non-EU countries:
Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, Croatia and Liechtenstein.
Are you planning to drive in Europe? Make sure you take the right documents with you in case you have an accident.
You should take your Certificate of Motor Insurance if you travel in the EU. This provides details of your insurance cover that you'll need to provide if you have an accident.
You can get an explanation of how your Certificate of Motor Insurance applies in the countries we mentioned above in our multi-lingual leaflet. You'll find this helpful while driving abroad.
Download our multi-lingual European driving leaflet
You can use your Certificate of Motor Insurance and our leaflet instead of a Green Card when you're driving abroad in the countries listed above. The Green Card (or International Motor Insurance Card) is an internationally recognised document that shows that you have the minimum insurance cover needed by law in the country you are visiting. You do not need a green card for driving in these countries:
Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.
You'll need to tell us if you're taking your car to a country that isn't listed above. You can get a Green Card if your insurer will cover you for that country, but you may have to pay a fee for this. Please call us on 0844 412 4684.
You may need to prove that you have car insurance, not just at the border but for example after an accident. That's why taking a Green Card or Certificate of Motor Insurance and leaflet with you anyway could be handy while driving abroad in these countries.
Are you planning to take your car to Europe for more than 90 days? You should let us know in advance, so that we can tell you how much it will cost to get extra insurance cover. You should also let us know if you're planning to use your car for business travel abroad. Please call us on 0844 412 4684.
Arrange breakdown cover before you go if you want real peace of mind while driving abroad. AA European Breakdown Cover has a 24-hour English-speaking telephone helpline for when you're driving in Europe.

Spanish moss isn't, by the way, a true moss at all but a vascular plant that reproduces via tiny flowers. But it is an epiphytic plant; that is, a plant which grows upon another plant or object for support.

Advocates want to save little-known old growth pockets
Hidden among the expanse of forestland in Western North Carolina are little-known pockets of trees that are several centuries old. Either overlooked by loggers or too difficult to access, the old growth stands act as windows into the past and markers of Appalachian history.
Since the end of the Civil War until the 1930s, most forests in the eastern United States were clear-cut. However, some tracts were able to escape that era of industrialized logging and continue to grow.

We started out in the morning in a residential area (Minot Park) in Gatlinburg and worked our way into the higher elevations of the national park by late afternoon. The weather at Newfound Gap was perfectly awful: wind, rain, fog, cold, you name it. But it was a good group and we did OK.

Written on Wednesday, 01 May 2013 02:12Naturalist Donald Culross Peattie (1898-1964) was born in Chicago. In his autobiography The Road of a Naturalist (1941), Peattie recalled his first extended visit to the North Carolina mountains in 1906 as a time when he "saw the world of people fall away, grow small, grow hazy blue, forgotten. In seven months upon that isolated summit of the Appalachians, I began to discover a world older and greater. It is the world now of my established habitation, my working days and holidays, and it lies open to all men, in valleys as on mountains, by any road you choose to enter."
Libraries brace for hit: Libraries play offense over state budget cuts
For years, state funding for libraries has been on the decline. But librarians in Western North Carolina are not taking this next round lying down.

It took only a fleeting glimpse for us to know that our visitor had been a blue-gray gnatcatcher. There is, after all, nothing else in the avifauna of the Smokies region quite like the mighty mite. It's a bird you'll enjoy knowing once you learn its basic characteristics.

The High Cost of Breast Cancer
By Melissa Aguilera
Las Cruces, NM – Women in the United States have a twelve-percent chance of developing breast cancer during their lifetime according to the National Cancer Institute. Health officials say early detection and treatment will increase the probability of survival, but proper care is often out of reach for many low-income people. KRWG's Melissa Aguilera has this report.

Did this a couple of months ago. Liked most had one duplicate (gave to a friend) Want to do again...like all but one.
Eli wrote
Got a 10 pack of XL shirts for a bachelor party. Do you have any suggestions on removing stripper scented-glitter for awesome shirts? All 10 were awesome and there were a few fights over who got what shirt (I randomly handed them out). We need more size XL (or at least L). Now all my friends refuse to get married unless I bring the official bachelor party mystery shirts. If I don't get married then my child will never be born and the ONE cannot lead us to salvation from the shirtless hoards. Please make more mystery XL packs available soon, to save the future. Please think of the children. There will be no further weddings until you make XL mystery packs.

Was trying to order a pack or two as a surprise for my bf, you dont have 2 or 3xl in mens!

I needed cheap shirts that I could wear to work and get dirty. I ordered a 10-pack mystery shirts, another 5 , $2.95 mystery shirts and the kobe shirt for my buddy who wanted it.
The total of my 16 shirts came to $44.70 but the shipping cost was a ridiculous $48.78 but I justified it because it still works out to be under 6 bucks a shirt.
I ordered on April 9th, got an email saying they had been shipped 2 days later and received the shirts on May 6th (are you kidding me?!) and then had to pay another $22 at the post office.
The assortment of colours is really good. I ordered the 10 in large and the other 5 in medium (wasn't sure how they would fit) and the order is complete and correct. All the shirts are Tultex except one that is Delta and it felt noticeably thinner. The design on the Kobe shirt is faded and I'm not sure if that's what it's supposed to look like.
I haven't washed any of the shirts yet so not sure how the designs will hold up yet or if they will shrink but overall i'm happy with the order.
Brad wrote
Just got a 10 pack in today, a good 7-9 I'll be wearing out and about. Only one that I wouldn't wear out, and one that says "Marudo" that I have no idea what it is. I would have no qualms about ordering again!
Rev. Elliot wrote
A mysterious someone is sending me this 10 pack for my birthday, and I must say the anticipation is excruciating. Great gift idea because neither of us knows exactly what will come. So fun. I hope I get at least a 50% wearable rate.

Matt wrote
Was in the process of checking out with the mystery 10 pack(size large) and then they were out of stock. So I proceeded to switch to XL, no biggie. Go to check out and now they only have size small and medium. Update the mystery 10 pack shirts please. You have a customer waiting to order.
Astin wrote
any shipinng discounts offered?

I was about to buy maybe 2 or more mystery 10 packs until I saw the only female sizes you have are small. You better fix that.

only size small available? :(

Just got my tees yesterday, and I love them. I'm gonna order a couple more packs. They'll be my summer wardrobe! :D
Jonathan W wrote
I ordered one of these and i had 3 duplicates, the colors were pretty much all different and a nice variety but considering i only had 7 unique shirts i was a touch unhappy but of what i got i wear 6 of them, and its still a decent deal at that price. and also a good enough deal that i just ordered another 10 pack after the first experience. I just regift or use the lame shirts at the gym or out as work shirts.
Annie wrote
Not really a review but merely a suggestion, can 6dollatshirts.com add a no profanity option to this? I mean I curse all the friggin time, but I don't want it on my shirts ya know?
Nikkie Kari wrote
Okay so here is the outline:
two of them had some stoner shit (I\\\'m giving them to my crackhead buddy xD )
and the rest are pretty good, I would say 8/10
Zach wrote
Pretty sure we should all agree to make a forum post and trade shirts we dont like to each other.
wiandiii wrote
I ordered this mystery 10 pack in 2XL and am very pleased with the variety of colors and content of the shirts. I received one of the following: kelly green Cadeceus(medic symbol), black wayne enterprises, navy blue pong, tan "come at me bro", red "updog", light blue panda bears, brown charros 55, black callahan auto parts, black you died of dysentery, and grey hare trigger(bunny with revolver).
tad wrote
hey i ordered 10 shirts for $50 plus 2 mystery shirts for $2.95. all shirts were awsome and shipping was like $5.00.
Teresa Manns wrote
These shirts were awesome, I just got mine today. Acouple were somewhat lame but for the price I am very happy. The shipping cost to Tennessee was 4.25.
Here is what I got: 6dollarshirts.com logo, That's what she said, Albert Einstien face w/ tounge out, Owl w/ cassette tape, Kiss me I'm Irish, SUCK IT, come bro, Buy me a car bomb, Not made in China, and Charros 55. It made me sad that the SUCK IT shirt looked just like the SUCK IT Trebek shirt but it did not say Trebek, just suck it. Over all I am pleased. Gambled and won... Winning!

Not a review.
Is shipping $20 for the pack that costs$25? Just wondering.
Your Mom wrote
Can't decide if I should buy these or if I should just buy the $50 10 pk. Suggestions?
what i got wrote
i ordered one a week or 2 ago. the mix was fairly good, about 6 were funny shirts that are ok to wear out of the house, 2 were drug references so will not get as much wear (to be honest they are ripe to regift to one of my stoner buddies), and the only one that really was odd was the "the winter is coming" shirt on grey (it is a grey decal). So overall i was fairly happy... non were strange colors (one was on a white tee the rest were normal browns, blacks, blues, ect, nothing that is obvously not sellable).
if i had to rank it, i would go 8/10. I wish we had the option to add like small preferences, like no foul language, no white tees, mostly funny shirts, mostly other designs, or other things that would not really be hard to do and still be random (like a limited random, make it an extra buck or two to narrow them down by one of those.)

I'm not able to add the 10 pack to the shopping cart. What the hell? How do I fix that?

god help me if they send me a "tight butthole" tee!

I fill out the form but it won't add the pack to my cart...why's that?

Any feedback on the profanity? I too am in high school and cannot have profanity on the shirts...
Drake wrote
I want to buy this but I don;t want my shirts to have to much profanity or stupid prints. I'm in high school and I have a strict dress code what would you guys rate it?
Emmy wrote
I actually really liked this pack! The shirts weren't too great of a material, but they were all decent. A good way to fill up your closet fast.
cody wrote
well, it did say...\"Need to fill out your wardrobe quickly and with hilarious tees?\" So I am guessing it\'s not the blank tee\'s and the animal/wildlife one\'s
Question wrote
I hope this pack doesn't include blank tees or the pet/wildlife ones...

Do you just get sent 10 prints that are not selling?

I'd like to nominate my grandson Devonte Boykin for "Incredible Kids". Devonte was a normal infant growing up till a very unwanted part of our family came to haunt us once again. Devonte contracted a viral meningitis at 18months & became very ill. Once seen at the Charlie Mitchell Clinic He was immediately admitted to C.C.C. H. He was put through vigorous testing & after 1 week he was diagnosed with meningitis. Devonte was left with speech problems & difficulty regaining his mobility skills. He went through various therapies including speech & physical therapy & saw 9 different specialists.
Meningitis has been an unwanted part of my family. Devonte's great great grandmother contracted a bacterial meningitis as an adult & also became very ill & had been hospitalized in the I.C.U. fighting for her life. She still lives to tell about it. Devonte's uncle also contracted bacterial meningitis as an infant. His uncle Francisco was left mentally impaired & passed 7 years ago at the age of 3.
Devonte now is a normal healthy happy 4 year old & still continues to progress. He attends YMCA & loves to skatebaord, play his WII & playstation3. His best friends are his cousins Isaiah & Elijah. He recently found he loves the ocean & loves to "jump waves". I am so proud of my grandson Devonte, my son & grandmother for having given meaning to the words fight, determination to live, patience, hope, family & most of all LOVE! & showing me the true meaning of MIRACLES….=) Devonte is an amazing child & a blessing & inspiration to me & many others.

McCain's Television Consumer Freedom Act calls for a la carte TV, end of sports blackouts
Posted by Jason Diaz Categories: Corporate News, Home Entertainment, Videos
Speaking of TV, Republican US Senator, John McCain, of Arizona has introduced a bill to the house floor dubbed The Television Consumer Freedom Act of 2013. The legislation has three components. The first is the unbundling of TV programing from content and cable companies, which allows the consumer to have à la carte service options. It also lets the consumer pay for only those channels and shows they want to watch. The second will establish consequences for providers that misuse or don't properly execute the stipulations in the bill, such as downgrading their online offering. Lastly, it will eliminate local sports blackouts, finally!
All politics aside, every consumer should get behind this bill. Perhaps an indirect benefit for content makers is that the bill could help curb privacy, which is running rampant, although many do not admit so publicly. In the end, if done right, the bill could break the cable provider's stronghold on the traditional content distribution model, eliminate the exorbitant pricing scheme, or, as the Senator of Arizona eloquently put it, end the cable monopoly. As I'm writing this, a tear rolled down my eye. Thank you Mr. John McCain for thinking of my wallet. Watch the historical speech after the quick break.
Watch this: The mythical Apple TV set conceptualized [Video]
Posted by Jason Diaz Categories: Apple, HDTV, Videos
It's becoming customary within the Apple community to conceptualize ideas of future Apple products and software. In this case, Sam Beckett conceptualizes what the mythical Apple TV set, or iTV, display may look like and how it might behave. Interactions, mostly done by way of an iOS device, in this case are done with an iPad mini. This, of course, is opposed to using the often confusing button-riddled TV remote. Interacting and navigating is user-friendly and intuitive while using DVR functions, swiping between channels using gestures, using Siri and Genius content recommendations, etc. In addition, apps are served up as channels, and the user would have the ability to tie into their cable provider of choice if they aren't ready to cut the cord. I don't know about you, but we're digging this much. Watch the video after the snappy break.

Check out this life-sized homemade Skeletor sculpture [Video]
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Design, Toys, Videos
If you were a child of the '80s, you probably remember He-Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoon that was on television every weekday afternoon. He-Man would do his best to rid Eternia of Skeletor. I remember going to Macy's in NYC as a four-year-old and getting to "meet" a life-sized, robotic He-Man that was signing autographs. There was no Skeletor equivalent though, until now. The life-sized Skeletor replica is molded and sculpted based on the dimensions of the action figure. Check out the video after the break for more on the construction of Skeletor.

Copy cloud storage aims to overtake Dropbox with Fair Storage, more space
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Internet, Storage
Copy is a new cloud storage service, and it's got its sights directly on upheaving Dropbox as the cloud king. With Copy, you keep your files in sync across devices and get a web interface with easy sharing (including mobile devices,) similar to what you get with Dropbox. However, it differs in a couple of key areas that make Copy seem like a much better offering:
- When you share files with other Copy users, that space isn't docked from both accounts. With Dropbox, if you share a 1GB file, both you and the person you share with now have 1GB less storage space.
- When you sign up for Copy, you get 15GB of space right off the bat. With Dropbox, you get 5GB.
- Each time you refer a friend to sign up for copy, you are granted another 5GB, with no limit. Dropbox only gives you an extra 500MB, and has a hard referral bonus of 16GB.
Wanna give it a try? It's free, and it's great. Head on over to Copy to sign up - use this link, and you'll start out with 20GB free instead of 15GB!

You can now attach money to your Gmail messages
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Google, Internet
Google is making the practice of sending money to friends as easy as attaching a document to an email. Using Gmail, you'll be able to attach cash money to your emails using your Google Wallet account, for free. The nice thing is that you don't have to have funds on your account to do this--you can just have a bank account attached to your Wallet account. Recipients of your paper won't need to have a Gmail account, which is one more thing you don't need to worry about, and anyone you send money to can return it to you as well. Google is rolling out the feature now to Gmail users over the age of 18. Check out a video that explains it all, after the break.

Happy surprise baby shower to Caroline! :)
I mentioned this in my guest post I did for Caroline, but her lemon blueberry scones post is the reason why I started blogging. Baking for myself is fun, but baking and taking pictures of it and then writing about it for the internet to see? So much better. I feel like I owe Caroline a lot, having given me this hobby that has enriched my life so much. I've never met her in real life, but I can tell she's just the sweetest person and if anyone deserves to have an awesome virtual baby shower, it's her.
I was so excited for Caroline that I asked a group of her blogging pals if they'd like to throw her a virtual baby shower. This was two months ago and it's been so hard to keep the secret (Caroline and I are exchanging emails about cupcakes right now and it's killing me not to hint at what she's going to wake up to!) but the day is finally here.
Caroline, I'm sure you are going to be an amazing mom and that is one lucky kid to be born into such a large and loving extended family. I wish you all loads of fun with your soon to be newest member!
Caroline, whose blog is Chocolate & Carrots, once said that she hadn't yet made a chocolate carrot cake because she hadn't found the right recipe. So I made her one! I think that these taste like normal yummy chocolate cupcakes, but other people have said that they could taste the carrots (maybe I'm just too focused on the chocolate to notice). I don't like carrots but I definitely liked these. I'm not a huge fan of mixing carrot cake spices, which for me means ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg with chocolate, so I left it at just cinnamon. I'm not convinced that I like cinnamon and chocolate together, but I had to add something in there to make it "carrot cake" and not just chocolate cake. Next time I'll try it without the cinnamon and see which is better.
These don't have much honey so they really rely on the chocolate chips to sweeten them up a bit. Don't skimp! And the icing also helps sweeten them up. The thing is, I don't want to eat all that icing you see on these cupcakes. I only wanted to make them look pretty for the occasion. If you want to be able to pipe the icing, I suggest this pipeable cream cheese frosting from Recipe Girl. But make sure you look at how much it yields before you begin. And if you don't care about piping it on, I like the cream cheese and Greek yogurt frosting recipe found here. It's not too sweet, has no butter and still tastes enough like cream cheese to make me happy.
- 1 cup + 1 tablespoon (127 grams) whole spelt, whole wheat pastry, or whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons (~30 grams) cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons (146 grams) honey
- 6 tablespoons unsweetened apple sauce
- 1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 10.5 ounces / 300 grams carrots
- 1 cup (180 grams) chocolate chips
Preheat your oven to 350°F / 175°C and line a 12 cup muffin tin with liners. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. In another medium bowl, whisk the eggs and add the honey, apple sauce, olive oil, and vanilla. Using the fine grater of your food processor, process the carrots. There might be some chunks that get stuck at the top, but we don't want those. Measure out 270 grams of carrots and mix them into the wet mixture. Add the wet mix to the dry and mix only until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips (don't skimp! ;)). Divide into muffin cups (about 2/3 full) and bake for 17 – 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. But be careful because it could be a chocolate chip that you're hitting. So try a few areas if you're not sure. Turn out onto a wire rack and let cool completely before icing.
Here's what they look like naked and in much better lighting. I forgot the chocolate chips and didn't realize it until they were in the oven. I took them back out and dumped in some chips, which is why all mine chocolate is lumped together. Don't forget the chocolate and this won't be a problem. :)
A big thank you to Amanda, Amy, Brandi, Bree, Cassie, Erica, Lauren, Lauren, Miryam, Rachel, and Sara! And an especially huge thank you to Heidi, who will be giving birth any day now but still time found to take part in this baby shower. :)
