Nathaniel Joseph ClawThe Hero of this story, he's a pirate captain who happens to be known and feared across the Seven Seas. After being captured by Le Rauxe and sent to the infamous La Roca prison, he finds a posthumous note from Edward Tobin, a long-dead prisoner who resided in Claw's cell before him. Tobin's note tells the story about Amulet of Nine Lives—an artifact that not only grants its wielder the aforementioned nine lives, but also great magical power. Intrigued, Claw decides to break out of the prison and obtain the Amulet.
Tropes applying to bosses in general:
Le RauxeA French dog and naval commander who happens to be working for the Spaniards. He managed to capture Claw in the opening cinematic, sunk his ship, and sent him to La Roca to await execution. He's the first boss the player will face, and quite disappointingly—yet thankfully, given his status as the first boss—he's more or less a Warmup Boss. In a stroke of coincidence, he holds the first gem for the Amulet of Nine Lives.
KatherineShe's a cat who used to serve under Claw, but got kicked out because of her recklessness and sloth. Currently resides in Thieves' forest and is the second boss. As you have probably guessed, she also has one gem.
Lugius WolvingtonThe wolf Magistrate of El Puerto Del Lobo, the owner of third gem, and the third boss.
Mr. GabrielRed Tail's second-in-command. He's quite vain, preferring to let others do the fighting for him while he preens and attacks from a distance. As the fourth boss, he also happens to be carrying a gem for the Amulet of Nine Lives.
Joseph Marrow"An old friend" of Claw, the leader of pirates from Pirates' Cove, the fifth boss and the owner of the fifth gem.
AquatisA king of undersea caves, a giant, fat... octopus thing. Immune to everything you have which forces you to look for an alternative solution to fight him. The sixth boss and an owner of the sixth gem.
Red TailClaw's greatest enemy though sadly we do not know that much about him. The penultimate boss and an owner of two gems. Unlike other bosses before him, gets out of fight alive (or at least in one piece).
Lord OmarThe Final Boss and a guardian of the Amulet. How does he know Claw is anyone's guess. Noted as notoriously hard among the fanbase.
Edward TobinPosthumous Character, but the one who sets the whole plot into motion. It is his note about the Amulet that is found by Claw in La Roca.

Poll Outcome: Which Logo Is Worse?
PRNewser posed the question on most people's minds when the new Comedy Central logo was unveiled last week: Is it worse than the dissed and dismissed Gap logo? Nearly 55 percent of poll respondents said… Yes! The remaining 45 percent voted for the Gap.
After opening the poll, we noticed a tweet or two from people who said they actually like the Comedy Central logo. A big problem is it doesn't seem fun enough for a station that would air something like the Jim Gaffigan/Hot Pocket bit. Just for laughs, we provide the Gaffigan guffaws below.

Our basement floor (~1500 sq ft and several rooms) has tile over the cement floor. We want to
a) insulate the floor as it is brutally cold
b) install an engineered floor product (prefer to glue down)
c) not lose more than 1 1/2" (incl. the 1/2" flooring product)
While I'd like to remove the tile, we've tried before and it is far too difficult! The tile is in good condition, although each room has a different tile installed but the elevation is fairly even. So, whatever we do, it will be on top of the tile.
I've thought about DriCore and then glue down the floor, but would love to hear suggestions from those 'in the know'.

- Subfloor over tile on cement
First off you didn't state what kind of tile ? ceramic or vinyl tiles? Any cracks at all in old flooring?Good luck finding a product that is ok'd to be installed below grade,almost all manufacturers don't recommend doing so,because of the flucuation with moisture when your area is below grade.That is why most opt for carpet & pad ,insulates the floor and helps moderate the temp./they even have padding with arm & hammer to prevent mildew .If you decide on a hard surface,most always require a clean, sound,floor-so tear up might be needed,check all the manufacturers,requirements/suggestions first-good luck!
It is good quality Italian ceramic tile, and no cracks and no humidity. Tearing up is simply not an option as it would leave plenty of thinset to need to scrape off - plus, the floor is in good condition, just cold.
Would still love to hear suggestions from anyone about how to best put wood floor down on the tile
Would still love to hear suggestions from anyone about how to best put wood floor down on the tile
You have 2 options in my opinion.# 1- would be to skim patch and float over the ceramic with a product like 'ardex or 'mapei for over concrete,or possibly vinyl crete.You would be takin out the ''highs and lows and filling in voids ONLY.Than [per manufacturer's ok on paperwork w/product] installing a vapor barrier and laminate. #2 is you would have to install lock together subfloor and than your [engineered wood] nailed or glued over that.I don't see much lee way-the problem is making a call on ''what your installing/i have glued down wood 4 maybe 5times ever and it was a bear! popeye arms for sure-good luck either way.

Bid protests increase in 2012, nearing 15-year high
The number of bid protests filed in fiscal 2012 ticked up 5 percent from last year to 2,475 cases - more than any year since 1995, according to a new report from the Government Accountability Office.
Federal Drive Interviews -- Oct. 9, 2012

Dr. Harry Lambright of Syracuse University studied the effectiveness of two former federal officials. David Hall-Matthews talks about a ranking of nonprofits.
Agencies ignoring billions in savings from strategic sourcing
Agencies are missing out on billions of dollars in savings by not using strategic-sourcing contracts, particularly when buying services, according to a new report from the Government Accountability Office. The report finds the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, Veterans Affairs and Energy spent less than 5 percent of their combined acquisition budgets through strategic sourcing and saved less than $2 billion.
GAO denies SAIC protest of Defense IT contract
A massive contract awarded to Lockheed Martin in June to manage the Defense Information Systems Agency's Global Information Grid remains in place after the Government Accountability Office denied a bid protest from fellow contractor SAIC. Despite SAIC's allegations, GAO found DISA had reasonably evaluated Lockheed's proposal as well as claims of an organization conflict of interest.
Berry aims to nix HR from high risk list in the next year
Cyber criminals might unknowingly provide the impetus to help agencies address a cybersecurity skills gap. OPM also is working with agencies to address other shortfalls in key workforce competencies.

The Government Accountability Office said reports of malware targeting mobile devices have nearly tripled in less than a year.
DoD works to institutionalize contracting lessons from Iraq, Afghanistan
Pentagon says planning for future contingencies will include contract management from the get-go rather than letting be an afterthought.

A new Government Accountability Office report says the Federal Protective Service isn't doing enough to safeguard more than 9,000 federal buildings.
Bill would give DoD incentives to audit its books on time
New legislation from several senators would let DoD reprogram funds without congressional approval.
DoD, State implement only fraction of wartime contracting recommendations
A new Government Accountability Office report found that three main actors in contingency contracting the Defense and State Departments and the U.S. Agency for International Development will likely only implement a fraction of the recommendations set out by the Commission on Wartime Contracting. The agencies have either determined their existing policies already address the commission's concerns or they disagreed with the recommendation in the first place, GAO found.
Gov't report: Tax cheats getting paid by Medicaid
Thousands of Medicaid health care service providers still got paid by the government even though they owed hundreds of millions of dollars in federal taxes, congressional investigators say. A legal technicality is making it harder for the IRS to collect.
Federal Drive interviews - Aug. 2
BGov's Kevin Brancato explains how tight budgets are reversing a trend from best-value to best- price in government contracting. And the GAO looks at the effectiveness of food recalls.
VA not doing enough to verify service-disabled veteran owned firms
GAO highlights a need for tighter controls to fix the contracting program.
Multiple roles more help than hindrance, say agency CAOs
The Government Accountability Office looked at how agencies were complying with the Services Acquisitions Reform Act of 2003. It discovered that while many chief acquisition officers had assumed duties far beyond what the act intended, that might not be such a bad thing.
DoD extends civilian hiring restrictions through 2018
Pentagon hiring freeze for civilian employees will last several more years, although Defense Department leaders say they'll grant exemptions to give the department flexibility.

ST. JOHN | Lake Central is the region's top-ranked softball program. The Indians are ranked No. 4 in the state of Indiana.
A bag full of Big Macs might be the symbol of this spring's monumental success.
Sophomore shortstop Lizzie Seymour had a chance to play in an international tournament in Taiwan before the high school season began. The picky eater was excited for the trip but scared to death about eating food that wasn't American.
After the successful softball trip was over, the team stopped at an airport in Japan. There was a McDonald's there. When Seymour saw the Golden Arches it was like Godzilla was running through the terminal.
"When we saw that, we attacked," Seymour said. "We were so hungry. We wanted food."
In one game against a team from Taipei, Seymour had a double and a triple. The faster, smaller style of play had a strong influence on Seymour.
"They have different types of ballplayers," Seymour said. "They're not as much into the big hit. They're more into speed and slapping."
Seymour throws right but hits from the left side of the dish. Indians coach Jeff Sherman has just been amazed by the play of Seymour. She is batting .500 in Duneland Athletic Conference play.
"She's just decided to take the conference by storm," Sherman said.
Last spring Seymour did not begin playing shortstop until the final third of the year. The talented basketball player spent time early in the year as a DP or bench player. But once she was put in the infield's most important position, she hasn't budged.
For the past two postseasons Lake Central has ended up one win short of the Class 4A state championship game. The design this time is to take it all the way to Indianapolis. Seymour will play a big part in all of that.
"She's extremely important," Sherman said. "She brings aspects to the game that others don't offer. She is a multi-tool player. She hits for power, can play small ball, runs the bases very well and plays great defense. She can do it all.
"I think the trip overseas was good for her. It showed a different side of the game. It probably showed her she had to work a little harder."
Seymour has not decided what sport she will play in college, but she's heard the most in softball. Coaches from Boston College, Notre Dame, Western Kentucky and George Washington have all expressed interest.
"People ask me all the time which sport I like better," she said. "I don't have an answer for them."

Mailplane 1.51 adds iMedia browser and support for more languages
A new update for Mailplane, an email client for Mac that's dedicated to Gmail, was released today. It sports a handful of bug fixes, integration with the Mac address book, and support for six new languages. An "iMedia browser" was added that allows users to drag and drop pictures, music, and movies right into an email without opening the associated iApp. You can even create a new Gmail account right inside Mailplane, and if you download a lot of files via Gmail, you'll also like the new feature that cleans up the download window at the touch of a button.
Though Mailplane is still in private beta, you can apply to be a tester.

A new app called Spiral could change the way we connect with the people and places around us. The idea is pretty straightforward: users see a news feed of posts near them, and can add their own updates and comment on other people's posts. Users can adjust their geographic filters to see posts from a larger or smaller radius.
Spiral was founded by Gerry Giacoman Colyer, Jorge Pozas, Michael Ma and Daniel Shteremberg. The team has an impressive mix of backgrounds, from engineering and product experience at Microsoft, Apple and Google, to studying at Stanford and Harvard business schools.
Colyer and Ma came up with the idea when they were at Coachella this spring and noticed that the festival's tight-knit community could be replicated elsewhere and enhanced by technology. Spiral's logo features a ferris wheel, which Colyer says symbolizes the use of the ferris wheel as both a gathering point at music festivals and cities, and as a vantage point from the very top to get a sense of what's happening around you.
"We see ourselves as a Reddit-style community for local chatter, with proximity as the guiding principle," Colyer says.
Spiral is playing in an interesting space right now, giving it both a great opportunity and fierce competition.
Spiral recently launched an Incognito feature that lets people post anonymously, and the team is going to be adding college-centered communities within the app in the near future as students return to classes. These moves bring Spiral into competition with Yik Yak, Secret and Whisper, among others; the simple location aspect will pit Spiral against everyone from Facebook to Snapchat to Foursquare's new Swarm app.
"We want to become the pulse of location," Colyer says. "So whenever you're moving around, and especially if you're at an event and want to get a sense of what's happening around you…this is where you would go."
The team has taken a small $47,000 grant from Lightspeed Ventures thus far, and Colyer says they will look to raise more money later this year.
You can download Spiral now on iOS and Android.
Disclosure: I have accepted a role at Khosla Ventures beginning in September. Since accepting this job, I am not covering any of the firm's portfolio companies.

This post originally appeared on the Buffer blog.
Funny, we've had the Facebook Like button along the side of every Buffer blog post for the past several years. And I don't think I've ever clicked it.
I've hoped that others would, of course. I hope they click all the share buttons. But until now, I've never known what that experience was like for the end-user.
What's it like to actually share a story to Facebook? And how can I make it a better experience?
We talk a lot about reversing the decline in organic Facebook reach and succeeding with Facebook marketing. Maybe we've been overlooking a quick win right under our noses. The Facebook share button could be a huge opportunity todelight a reader with a seamless sharing experience, one in which you can control the look, feel, and message of what gets shared.
Come along to see what I learned (and what I've fixed) when I clicked on my own Facebook share button.
Each post on the Buffer blog has social share buttons that sit along the left side of the post (via the Digg Digg plugin for WordPress). Share button No. 3 is the Facebook like button.
Now for the moment of truth. What happens when someone clicks the Facebook Like button on a Buffer blog post? Drumroll please …
Not a whole lot.
In fact, to the naked eye, nothing happened whatsoever beyond the share number going up by one and the Like button changing to a checkmark.
Let's hop over to my Facebook page. There are no new updates in my News Feed to tell others that I liked this awesome blogpost. No notifications, no alerts.
To find any evidence that I clicked at all, one would have to scroll 50 percent of the way down the page, past my About section, my photos, my friends, my places, my music, my movies, my TV shows, my books, and my groups, all the way to the very last item in the left sidebar: Recent Activity.
Phew. That's a long ways down.
It's worth noting that the Facebook Like experience on your blog might be different than it is on Buffer's. When I ran the Like experiment by clicking on buttons elsewhere, a share box popped up after I clicked "Like." You can see this in action at the KISSmetrics blog, for instance. Point being: Test your Like button on your own blog to see what happens.)
OK, new strategy.
How about if we change the Facebook Like button to a Facebook Share button? (Fortunately, there's an easy setting inside of the Digg Digg plugin to do just that.)
Now that we've got the Share button live on the blogpost, what happens when we click it?
Voila! A Facebook Share box arrives.
This is likely the box that bloggers expect to show up when someone clicks a Facebook button. Readers get to choose where the message is shared, what they want to say about it, and which picture to use as the thumbnail.
After all these options are chosen, the post will show up at the very top of the News Feed on a profile page, and in the News Feeds of all one's friends (depending on the Facebook algorithm, of course).
Takeaway: "Liking" and "Sharing" on Facebook are two totally different experiences.
Let's continue our Goldilocks trip through Facebook sharing with the most native of share options: Posting a link directly via your Facebook page.
Assuming that there were no Facebook share buttons anywhere on a page and that you really wanted to pass the page along to your Facebook friends, what would you do? You'd grab the URL, head to facebook.com, and share the link yourself.
Here's what that looks like when I share a blogpost directly on Facebook.
The experience is almost exactly the same as it was for the Facebook Share button. You get to choose who sees your update, what you say about it, and which picture is used as the thumbnail. Here's the finished product as it appears in my News Feed.
After reading this far, you may have already chosen your preferred style of Facebook button. Your preference probably has to do with what you hope to gain from your social share buttons, and it's important to note that there is no right or wrong answer when it comes to liking vs. sharing. Each has its own virtues.
The Like button is good for social proof.
There is power in seeing 600+ Facebook Likes on an article you wrote. The psychological explanation behind this is wisdom of the crowds, where large groups of people approving a certain something (a blogpost, for instance) motivates others to do the same.
There may even be a bit of FOMO (fear of missing out), an anxiety from new readers that they need to read this article to catch up with what everyone else has found so great.
The Like button is almost entirely frictionless.
Did you notice how little effort it took for me to complete the process of Liking a blogpost? If you want to make the experience as absolutely easy as possible for your readers, it doesn't get much easier than the one-click Like button. There's no messages to create, no networks to navigate. It's just a simple, easy click.
The Share button gets your content maximum exposure.
If you want your story to be seen in more News Feeds, then go with the Share button. Liking a post keeps the post relatively hidden on one's profile. Sharing a post puts the content front-and-center. (And the rest is up to Facebook's algorithm to disperse.)
Smashing Magazine ran an interesting experiment on their popular blog, removing all Facebook buttons and trusting readers to share posts on Facebook individually when they found them worth sharing. The results:
The Share button lets you customize the visuals and message.
Not only will Sharing a post put your content in front of more eyes, your content can look by-and-large how you want it. You can customize the title and description that Facebook grabs as well as the series of pictures that it uses to pull thumbnails.
Next: Here's how the Facebook customization process works in detail
OK, here's the fun part.
You can make your post a Facebook work-of-art with just a few simple tweaks to the code and the images on your page.
Facebook sharing 101: A primer on "og" tags
The engineering behind this customization comes from Facebook's Open Graph, a system that lets third-party websites (like your blog) speak Facebook's language when the two communicate. Facebook uses Open Graph functionality on its own network, and outside websites that do the same can create Facebook-optimized updates in a snap.
(Open Graph elements are used by other social networks, too, to customize the sharing that happens there.)
These Open Graph elements are represented in the code with "og" tags ("og" stands for, you guessed it, Open Graph). There are three main tags that deal with the look of a Facebook update.
We've found that the easiest way to implement Open Graph code on our blogposts is to use an all-in-one WordPress plugin like WordPress SEO by Yoast that handles the Open Graph elements automatically. In our experience, it works almost perfectly—with the exception of images. I'll tackle that one below.
How to check the "og" tags on your blogpost
Before we begin, it might be handy to know if you already have these Open Graph tags in place. To quickly find out, you can inspect the code of your page to see what's going on behind the scenes.
In your browser, right-click anywhere on the page and select "Inspect Element."
Then look in the
section near the top of your HTML code. Inside the should be some tags that begin with "
You can also check the tags on your content by using Facebook's Open Graph Object Debugger. This free tool will analyze your page and show you what data Facebook will pull (as well as any errors). Also, if you're ever in need of resetting the cache for your page, plugging the URL into the Debugger tool tells Facebook to go check your page again for updates.
How to customize the title on your Facebook article
To create a specific title for your Facebook shares, use the og:title tag.
Best practice here is to keep the title to no more than 90 characters. If your title is longer than 100 characters, Facebook will cut it off at 88.
You can think of this og:title like you would the SEO title for your post. In fact, if an og:title isn't present, Facebook will grab the SEO title instead. All the best headline-writing advice applies here, as you'll want to make the most of the bigger, bolder fonts that Facebook uses in article titles.
As an example of what this og:title might look like, here is the code from the blogpost featured in the screengrab above.
If you click over to the post itself, you'll notice that the actual headline used on the post is "What Is a Community Champion? Inside the World of Buffer's Community Builder." We went with a slightly shorter version for the og:title tag for Facebook.
How to customize the description on your Facebook article
To create a specific description for your Facebook shares, use the og:description tag.
Much like the meta description for your page, this sentence or two should serve as a good introduction to your content. Make it exciting and intriguing—and no need to fill it up with too many keywords because there is no SEO factor here.
Make the first few words count. In the example above, Facebook only revealed 79 characters before cutting off the description. In other cases, you might see up to 200. To play it safe, pack your description with impactful words first.
Here's an example of what the description tag might look like:
How to customize the images on your Facebook article
Here's where things get a little tricky for us.
If you have all your "og" code in place for your piece of content and your content happens to contain a lot of images that are all tagged og:image, what might you expect to happen?
I expected each image to be available as a thumbnail option. I was wrong. There are only three.
I tested this with the Social Media Strategy post on Buffer, as well as with some blogposts from other sites like KISSmetrics, Quick Sprout, and Hubspot. The results: There are always only three images to choose from, despite the code containing more than three og:image tags.
So which ones does Facebook choose?
In my limited experimentation, I believe Facebook chooses your three largest images.
That's a good bit of information to know. In my case, most of my largest images are screengrabs, not the custom images I create for each post. It seems that the images I make in Canva and other custom apps are being outshone by some ultra-specific screenshots. Definitely not ideal.
So what are we to do?
Well, there are a couple options.
The latter option may require a unique plugin that lets you manually change the og:image tags for each piece of content. There are a few plugins out there—like WP Open Graph and the official Facebook plugin—that let you do this fairly easily.
And whatever method you choose to use, you'll likely want to create some images that are meant to look good on Facebook. I'll leave the design part up to you, but I can answer the question, "What image size is best?"
Well, in a perfect world, our Facebook shares would look like this:
Instead of this:
We want the large, banner photo because it's those kinds of photos that seem to instinctually draw the most interest and engagement.
To get this banner photo, Facebook recommends that images be at least 1,200 pixels wide by 630 pixels tall. This aspect ratio works out to 1.91:1. You can go as small as 600 pixels wide by 315 pixels tall and still have it appear as a featured image, but in general, you'll want to get your pics as big as you can so they look good on high-definition monitors.
The takeaway: Create big, beautiful images at an ideal aspect ratio, and make sure they're bigger than the rest of the images in your post. This is your best bet for getting the Facebook share style you crave.
Have you clicked your own Share and Like buttons?
I was really interested to learn the experience of sharing from the Buffer blog. It was not at all what I expected and a bit of a challenge to get it all working perfectly. In the end, changing the way I go about creating my images and being purposeful with how we set up our share buttons were big improvements for the shareability of our blog posts.
Feel free to share this post to see some of the changes in action!
Which of these tips might you try out on your content? Have you been using Open Graph tags for your blogposts and Web pages? I'd be keen to hear your experience in the comments!

This post originally appeared on the Buffer blog.
There's a saying you'll often hear around Buffer's content team: "There's probably a plugin for that!"
We're often chasing new ways to work smarter, faster and more productively—and the same is true of our Buffer blog.
We're quick to grab any and all WordPress plugins that can give the blog an extra edge or can wire up a feature we'd love to test. Whenever we dream something up to try on the blog, the first place we turn is WordPress plugins. We've collected quite the list of favorites. How about you?
As we've tried and tested new plugins on the blog, you've likely noticed new pieces and parts popping up on our pages—slideups, social share buttons, CTAs, and more. We get asked quite often about which plugins we use. So we thought we'd share!
Below is the list of plugins that power the Buffer blog, along with a handful of others that are on our to-try list.
(A note about WordPress plugins: They're super great, which makes it easy to add a whole bunch without thinking of the ramifications. Here's a helpful post from WP Engine about the effect that plugins can have on your site speed. Takeaway: Check the quality of the plugins you install.)
Probably our most-asked-about plugin is the one we use for our email capture slideup. Drumroll please … it's Dreamgrow's Scroll Triggered Box.
The email capture box slides up from the bottom right-hand corner of the page whenever a visitor scrolls down 60 percent of the page's height. If a visitor closes the box, they won't see it again for 30 days. The box itself can be completely customized with whatever HTML text you want; we chose to sync it with our MailChimp list.
And all these numbers and options can be completely customized—scroll percentage, days hidden, position, width, colors, and more. You can even choose where the box is visible, e.g. frontpage, posts,and/or pages.

There are a huge number of different plugins you can use to display social share buttons on your blog post. We've got a rooting interest in Digg Digg.
Digg Digg was built by our Buffer engineers a couple years back, and it's been a staple on the Buffer blog ever since. What we've found most helpful with Digg Digg integration is the flexibility of where you can place the share buttons: floating to the left or right of the article (see our Open blog), pinned to the top or bottom of a blog post (see this Buffer Social blog), or manually wherever you wish inside your theme.
(While I'm thinking of it, I should mention that we're often asked about the plugin that powers our author bio sections. Believe it or not, we don't use a plugin for that! Our theme designers built the bios right into the template code.)
Price: Free
Many SEO experts would recommend you grab an SEO plugin for your WordPress blog. Our go-to plugin is WordPress SEO by Yoast, which handles just about every element of SEO you could think of.
The most direct impact of this plugin on us writers is the SEO box beneath every post. Here we can choose our keyword for the post—a great tactic for staying focused on a topic—and add a custom title and description. The plugin will also show you in bright green/red text how your post stacks up based on the keyword you've entered.
Price: Free
You've likely noticed the bright, orange bar welcoming you to the Buffer blog every morning. That's the Hello Bar, an amazing tool for A/B testing different CTAs and power words—and a pretty great tool for collecting email addresses, too.
Via HelloBar, we collect over 400 email addresses each week on the Buffer blog. Along with the slideup, those two sources account for over half of our new email signups each week.
The WordPress plugin for Hello Bar is as simple as it comes: Simply download, install, and paste in your Hello Bar code. You can also signup for a free Hello Bar account and grab the embed code yourself. We found the plugin to be the easier way to go.
Price: Free
One of the easiest (and prettiest) commenting systems we've found has been Disqus. The powerful Disqus system works right off your standard WordPress setup, allowing you to manage all comments neatly and quickly through the Disqus admin area or straight from the comments section on your blog.
We've run into a spate of comment spam on some of our old blog posts recently, and turning off comments for individual posts is as simple as two clicks on a drop-down menu.
Price: Free
We host the Buffer blog through WP Engine, and we get a lot more goodies from them beyond just hosting. WP Engine creates daily backups and one-click restores of the blog, manages all our major WordPress updates automatically, and provides security features to keep our blog safe.
While it's not technically a plugin, WP Engine does add a little menu item to our WordPress sidebar, and we can quickly check there to see error logs, change some advanced settings, or log in to our WP Engine dashboard.
Price: Starting at $29 per month
Here's one people seem to love: the Pin It Button for Images. This plugin adds a Pinterest Pin It button overlay on top of any image that appears in your blog post. Simple as that!
We've installed the plugin on the Buffer blog, and we've changed the settings so that the Pin It button only shows up when you add a specific CSS class to an image. You can also change the settings so that the button only shows on images on single posts, pages, index, category, and more.
Price: Free
When Courtney and I were getting into the groove of posting to the Buffer blog, we found it helpful to stay organized with an editorial calendar. The Editorial Calendar WordPress plugin seemed to do the trick just fine. It grabbed all of our scheduled posts and drafts, and it placed them on a neatly organized calendar so we could see at-a-glance what content was coming up.
Perhaps my favorite feature of the plugin was the cool way you could drag and drop different stories around the calendar, and it would update not only the calendar but the post itself. It was a huge help for keeping all our content organized and our team in sync.
Price: Free
Most likely our least-known WordPress plugin, WP Hide Post does exactly what it says: It hides posts from the blog.
Of course, these posts are still visible if you navigate there directly. However, they won't show up in RSS feeds or on the main index page of blog posts.
We use this plugin to publish marketing materials (case studies, interviews, etc.) that we might want to reference later with our outreach efforts or promotions. These materials typically don't fit the content strategy we have on the blog, so we hide them from our standard publishing streams.
Price: Free
Another plugin we keep in the toolbox (but you might not have seen lately) is MyTweetLinks. Think of this plugin as a soundbite source. You can enter a soundbite or quotable via the post editor, and this plugin will create a list of tweets to share and buffer at the end of your published post.

Price: Starting at $5 per month
Another incredibly useful plugin from the WordPress team, JetPack features a bevy of tools all bundled into one plugin. Many of the 33 tools are the same as those available to the WordPress-hosted blogs. You'll find things like contact form, related posts, share tools, and single sign on.
Perhaps the most-loved feature of Jetpack is its built-in analytics reporting. You can check your site stats straight from your WordPress dashboard, without having to log in anywhere else.
Price: Free
Do you remember the little slideup made popular by the New York Times website that showed a link and preview of related content to read next? Well, wouldn't you know it, someone made it into a WordPress plugin!
The upPrev plugin shows a related content box when a visitor nears the bottom of a post. The related content can be picked however you choose—the previous article, from a certain category/tag, or a completely random article.
Price: Free
You can use this one for professional branding purposes or just for fun. On my personal blog, it's completely for fun.
Basically, you can upload any photo and use it as a tiled background on your WordPress login page. Same goes for the WordPress logo, too, if there's a company logo you'd like to use in place of the WordPress one. Along with photos, you can change typography, styles, and alignment of pretty much every element on the login page.
Price: Free
Much like the Hello Bar, the ManyContacts Bar is an email capture form that sits in a bar at the top of your website. There're just a couple differences: The ManyContacts Bar has a bit of animation when it pops onto the screen, there are a couple design differences, and you can set it so that a custom message pops onto the screen after a few idle moments on the page:
All contacts are emailed directly to you and added to one of nine popular email newsletter services, including MailChimp and Aweber.

I don't know about you, but there always seems to come a time when I'm browsing a site and find a feature or tool I absolutely love. How do they do that? I wonder.
Well, if the site you're browsing runs on WordPress, there are a few simple ways to find out. The sleuthing requires that you know how to look at the source code of a website. To do this, you can press CTRL+U in most browsers or right click and select "View Source." (Chrome users can select "Inspect Element" to look at a specific piece of code.)
To check to see if a website is using WordPress, look for this tag in the
section of the code:
To see the name of a site's WordPress theme, open the site's style.css file, and look for this section:
/* Theme Name: On Topic Theme URI: http://www.woothemes.com/ Version: 1.1.2 Description: Designed by WooThemes. Author: WooThemes Author URI: http://www.woothemes.com Tags: woothemes
To see the name of a plugin, you can browse a site's scripts and stylesheets, looking for anything that might include the word "plugin" or similar naming. If there is an element on the page that looks like a plugin, the classes and ids of that element might also contain the plugin name. Here's a good example from Stack Exchange:
Go through the source code and look for any scripts and stylesheets that might be loaded as well as any unique IDs or class names inserted by the plugins.
would all be hints that the theme is using a plugin called Socialize. Here's a screengrab of what the code looks like just below the buttons for our Digg Digg plugin.
We rely quite heavily on WordPress plugins to make our job a little easier and to help the Buffer blog run at full capacity.

Arnaud Breton is a full-stack developer at Mention with a specific focus on the front-end side and user experience. This post originally appeared on Arnaud's Medium.
On Friday afternoon, we had some fun with the Yo API. We wanted to build a program to trigger actions whenever someone sent us a Yo.
We started Yo'ed, a hub entirely written with Golang (a language we love a lot here at Mention), which triggers actions when someone Yo'ed an account.
From this basic idea, I actually spent a large part of my weekend writing a distributed version, and I had a lot of fun connecting the Yo API with other services (like the Mailjet API to send an email each time someone Yo'ed an account).
While playing around with the API, we also wondered why we were attracted to it in the first place. Having a closer look, we discovered that it has great lessons to teach us!
Yo is still in its infancy but they are moving fast, in a very pragmatic way.
A few weeks ago, you had no way of logging into your account again if you logged out because of a missing password. To get access to the API, you had to wait for a few days. But from the beginning, they knew that their API had a large role to play in their success!
Two weeks ago the only endpoint available was "yoall," to broadcast a Yo to all the subscribers of an account, without reasonable rate limits.
One week ago, they launched their API dashboard, to create and manage API accounts. They also added some rate limiting (currently one call per minute), to reduce spam.
The API is like the product: simple. For now, all you can do is Yo all your subscribers ("yoall" endpoint) or an individual account ("yo" endpoint) along with getting the subscriber count ("subscribers_count" endpoint).
This simplicity lets people use the API in seconds: a simple call with cURL gives you instant feedback. It should always be that simple!
Providing clean documentation about what your API can do and how to start using it will always be rewarded by developers.
It you think about the Yo API which is still really simple (two endpoints, one parameter: the API token) they still took the time to document it and make this documentation easily accessible from the API dashboard.
Building simple things doesn't mean you can't offer great opportunities, and the guys behind Yo understood this! To succeed, you also need to give context to people to inspire them to create new things.
They organised a hackathon in SF two weeks ago, taking advantage of the momentum their launch has created.
Afterwards, they did a great follow-up blog post featuring all of the great ideas that were developed during the event. Featuring these projects was a great way for people who did not attend to see the opportunities that the product has to offer.
When I read this blog post, it really struck me just how many possibilities there are for building with their API. For example, the BASKETBALLBERRY project featured in the article was a source of great inspiration for me to write this client, one that sends me a Yo if my train is on time according to its schedule.
Featuring projects on their own Github account is another great way that they're showcasing innovative uses for their API. You can also reach them easily by email.
Always make it easy for developers to show you what they've built with your product. That's always invaluable.
The Yo API is really straightforward, but it opens endless possibilities. The guys behind it did a great job of making developers' lives really easy by helping them build amazing things with it.
Our Yo'ed project is open and available for forks and PRs on Github, so feel free to play with it! You can also email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
What are your thoughts of integrating Yo in a larger context? Let's discuss in the comments below.

If you've seen a bright orange Volkswagen Type 2 labeled "Hashtack 2.0″ recently, you've spotted Jeremy Greenfield who has been living and moving around the country in it for the past few months trying to raise awareness for his app and get investors to back him.
Hashtack, a startup that pitched at the Seattle TechCrunch meetup this year, is a photo- and video-sharing app that brings together Facebook, Instagram and Twitter into one medium. Users can like, comment and zoom into pictures, as well as repost them, or as Greenfield says, "retack" them.
Instagram has a problem where users screenshot posts by other users and upload those photos by themselves, without the original poster's knowledge. One way Greenfield says Hashtack tackles this is by allowing users to easily "retack" a photo they like, while also loading any descriptions and the name of the original uploader. It also applies a faint watermark to the image to show that it isn't an original post.
Yet since users can also save videos and photos by just pressing down on them, you can upload the content by yourself and still pass it off of your own. But Greenfield says Hashtack makes the whole process easier to incentivize users from reposting other people's photos without giving credit.
Hashtack also allows you to create your custom hashtag stream. So if you create the stream #WorldCup, you will be able to view any photo or video using that hashtag.
And this is where Greenfield says he is trying market the app. He believes the app is great for the average user, but becomes a lot more powerful in the hands of social media managers, content creators, community managers and small business owners.
This makes it easier for companies to respond to users who are engaging with them, and a company "retacking" a users post could build brand loyalty.
Hashtack is opening its first round of funding. Up until now, the project has been personally funded by Greenfield. The product was originally called Divyy, but was rebranded and released as Hashtack in March. Version 2.0 was released last month.
The app is available on iOS and an Android app is on its way.

Facebook's chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg has admitted that a week-long psychological experiment affecting almost 700,000 unaware users was "poorly communicated."
As the Wall Street Journal reports, the company executive said:
"This was part of ongoing research companies do to test different products, and that was what it was; it was poorly communicated. And for that communication we apologize. We never meant to upset you."
The controversial tests came to light through a research paper. Led by data scientist Adam Kramer, a team of researchers altered the News Feed algorithm to show 689,003 users a larger percentage of either positive or negative content. To be clear, these were unaltered posts from people in their network – the company simply altered which posts appeared first in the News Feed.
Facebook discovered that users' posts were influenced by those shown to them in their News Feed. Those who saw positive content were, on average, more positive and less negative with their Facebook activity in the days that followed. The reverse was also true for those who were tested with a larger percentage of negative posts in their News Feed.
Researchers are now questioning whether Facebook breached ethical guidelines around informed consent. Kramer has also posted on Facebook to apologize and explain why the study was conducted without users' knowledge.
"We felt that it was important to investigate the common worry that seeing friends post positive content leads to people feeling negative or left out," he said. "At the same time, we were concerned that exposure to friends' negativity might lead people to avoid visiting Facebook."
He added: "I can understand why some people have concerns about it, and my co-authors and I are very sorry for the way the paper described the research and any anxiety it caused."
The Information Commissioner's Office, a UK regulator, is now investigating Facebook over its handling of the experiments.

Yahoo's spring cleanings have extended into the summer months, the company announced today, detailing a series of product changes and closures, many of which are nearly obsolete, obscure, or just unpopular. But among the more high-profile of these closures is Yahoo acquisition Xobni, the maker of smart email and contacts management apps that were acquired last summer.
At the time of the acquisition announcement, Yahoo said people using Xobni's products would be able to continue to do so "indefinitely." However, in today's post, the company points to a FAQ on the Xobni website, implying that the product's total shutdown was previously announced. That may confuse the handful of remaining Xobni users who may have thought that as long as they had the Xobni Smartr app installed, for instance, it would continue to work even though it was no longer being actively developed or supported.
But according to this new post, today is Xobni's last day.
Says Jay Rossiter, Yahoo SVP, Cloud Platform Group, Yahoo has instead "incorporated many Xobni-like features into Yahoo Mail" including compose auto-suggest and people-centric mail search.
Yahoo buys then kills a startup? That's not really news, I suppose. And at least Xobni's complete and total death was held off for a full year.
Other products getting the boot (or that already got the boot and you didn't notice!) include a virtual makeover tool called Newlook, Yahoo Finance's "research reports" feature, Bookmarks.yahoo.com, Yahoo People Search (bundled into Yahoo Search), Yahoo Toolbar on Chrome (replaced by Yahoo's Chrome extension), Yahoo Shine (replaced by new magazines, Yahoo Beauty and Travel), Yahoo Voices, and the Yahoo Contributor Network. The last four in that list have yet to close, with the Toolbar dying off on July 22, while the remaining products will live until the end of the month.
It's not surprising for Yahoo to cut its non-performing products, as the company is trying to "further its focus" on core experiences – Search, Communications, Digital Magazines and Video – as it says today. This is also not the first time Yahoo has made the decision to eliminate items from its overly large lineup – it did the same in March and April 2013, today's announcement also notes.

Tetris. Since its debut in 1984, it's found its way onto nearly every possible platform. Game consoles. Graphing calculators. Lab equipment. Buildings.
Now its found its way onto the most elusive and coveted platform of all: some dude's chest.
In honor of Tetris' 30th anniversary, tinkerer Mark Kerger grabbed 128 LEDs, a fistful of batteries and an Arduino Uno, and crammed 'em all together inside of a plain white tee.
The end result: Tetris. On his T-shirt. Tee-tris? Chestris?
Note: since the above video is muted, I've embedded the song you probably wanted to hear down below. I've also embedded Smooth McGroove's a cappella version below that, because any day I get to put a Smooth McGroove video in a post is a good day:

What's the first thing that comes to mind when you think of "the tech industry"? For many people, it's a bunch of company or brand names, like Facebook and Microsoft. Maybe a couple of key identifying people come to mind, like Mark Zuckerberg wearing a hoodie or Sergey Brin walking about in Google Glass.
But the actual tech industry is comprised of the thousands of people who work every day in roles beyond the most high profile CEOs — the programmers, the designers, the product leads. I love working on our Cribs and Inside Jobs series, because they help shine a light on those stories. And a new network of blogs called "Hackers Of" does a beautiful job of it as well.
Hackers Of debuted earlier this year with Hackers of NY and has since spread to include Hackers of Silicon Valley, Hackers of LA, and Hackers of London, with sites for Chicago and Seattle on the way. It was all started by Dani Grant, a recent graduate of NYU who majored in computer programming. Grant now helms the Hackers of Silicon Valley site, with the other cities being covered by other tech writers.
The Hackers Of sites are simple, but powerful: Each post provides a full "snapshot" of someone who works in the tech industry, featuring a beautifully shot photograph and a short pull quote from an interview (the featured image above is from Hackers Of NY's post about front end developer Alexandra Qin.) Often the quotes focus on programming and the projects they're working on, but they also get into personal philosophies and motivations, work habits, and more.
They're the kind of blogs that keep you scrolling through to read entry after entry, and make you bummed when you reach the end.
In an email, Grant told me that she started the site to get a wider network of people interested in programming. "I thought, the best way to get people to hack is by celebrating the hackers." In a personal blog post last week, Grant elaborated on that thought:
"… In computer science, we are tasked with solving problems not just with any solution, but with the most efficient solution. In open source, the problems we solve for ourselves, we solve for the rest of the developer community. Hackers are superheroes to one another.
This is so empowering, even outside the scope of tech. What could I do to give this optimism to others, to get people hacking?
I taught an introductory coding class at school, but that wasn't really the solution I was looking for. I wanted a way to celebrate hackers. When code is pushed, it ships without a face. If I wanted to get people excited about hacking, I had to bring back those faces."
Overall, Hackers Of is a straightforward idea that comes from a positive place, and it's being executed quite well. That's how the best things in tech often start, right?

To the surprise of some, Opera has released a new version of its Web browser for Linux-based operating systems.
Available to download now, the last new version of Opera for Linux was version 12.16 from around a year ago, which doesn't include a lot of the newer features seen on other platforms. Opera stopped updating the Linux build when it abandoned its own rendering engine and browser stack in favor of Chromium. Now, a Chromium-based Opera 24 is available to download for developers.
The company said in a blog post that it had been testing the new build exclusively on 64-bit Ubuntu Linux running the Unity or Gnome Shell. Although it could work on other Linux systems, support isn't guaranteed.

Queen Elizabeth's dirty, old undies will have a new home ... after a mystery panty raider snatched 'em up at an Internet auction for $18k.
The knickers had been placed on eBay by the estate of the late "Baron" Joseph de Bicske Dobronyi ... who had claimed he came into possession of the undergarments after they were left on a private plane when the Queen visited Chile in 1968.
But after a cyber auction consisting of 18 total bids, one lucky mystery buyer emerged victorious. So far, his identity has not been revealed ... and we're guessing it probably won't be.
Long live the Queen ... and her panties.
He might try cutting them into pieces to boil for tea. Hip hip and Cheerio!
FAKE story. When was the last time you saw panties with buttons and no elastic? She wears modern clothes and pantyhose so why the Victorian drawers?
If it was a man that snapped 'em up, now he can REALLY be a Queen.....lol.
some one spent 18k and in the auction it stated they believed they belong to the queen but could not guaranty it, so they didn't confirm the authenticity??? wish i had thought of that first!
mmmm..granny cooter
I hope the guy eats them on TV
Someone should investigate people like this
At least the wining bider can say he got into the queens panties.
They would have got higher bids if the skid marks were still in them
Would have fetched much more if the skid marks were still in them.
They would have fetched much more if the skidmarks were still in them

Nike Nando - 301
Artist: Nike Nando
Producer: Baze
Album: SprdLv
Avg Rating: 3.1 ( 7 votes )
Though Nike Nando's been going through some changes lately—his last feature, The Fall of the Delorean, announced the dissolution of his DMG collective—the Maryland rhymesayer's mission remains the same: to conquer the rap game while repping the 301 to the fullest extent possible. Making its world premiere right here in the Booth, the artist's latest single finds him pursuing those goals with fierce determination. As Nike lets the world know he's "comin' for the top," at dangerously high speeds, beatsmith Baze underscores the urgency of his bars with a sped-up sampling of Clash classic London Calling. Like what you're hearing? You'll be able to find this ambitious cut and plenty more where it came from on SprdLv, scheduled for release in March of next year.

Great Story! I am sort of an atypical engineer, in that I am not an early adopter of new technology. I recently received a GPS device as a Father's Day present. Using it the first time, I was diverted way off of track, directed into a giant 10 mile circle, which I did not question, but faithfully followed the offered instructions. Luckily, upon returning to same decision point (10 miles later) I was able to correct the mistake and proceed to desired location. Not being in the field of generating or interpreting GPS mapping information, I still can feel a sense of awe given the task of dealing with a highly compress data set. As engineers we all understand the statement, Garbage in equals garbage out. GPS mapping suffers from this kind of problem. The stored data set treats addresses, as contiguous events along the course of a street, but in actuality this is may not the case. I once live on a street that was almost a mile long. The first ½ mile of the street had several courts with houses and intersecting streets, but no houses had street addresses assign to them belonging to this street. Only the last ½ mile of the street had house addresses bearing the street name. The database must have indicated the length of the street, along with vector information to reflect the twists and turn of the street, and an address range (or list of the addresses). There must not have been any information to place the individual house positions. The result was that most maps did not correctly reflect the location of the street addresses, relative to courts and intersecting streets. Instead, the houses were more or less evenly spaced over the course of the street. Many friends had complained that my house was hard to find.

- Creating software prototypes
Awesome article! I have managed, lead and participated in many large and complex design projects, in both hardware and software capacities. I have always believed that prototyping software was one of the most important parts of the job. If hardware and software are going to play nicely together, you need to get them together as soon as possible. It may not be pretty, but if you can get your software into a position where you can exercise the hardware and perform some minimal subset of functionalities that can be used to prove the concepts, you have won the first battle. Now take what you have learned and build a complete, fully functional set of software, based on the prototype that you have created. You don't have to throw out your prototype, it can become a useful tool in managing hardware prototypes while you are busy creating the 'real' software. Keep up the good work!
