The Best 'TBH' Memes for Facebook's Meme of the Year
TBH, we don't really remember a huge TBH craze on Facebook, but Facebook made "to be honest" their meme of the year because it was the most-often mentioned phrase of 2012.
TBH, we don't really remember a huge TBH craze on Facebook, but Facebook made "to be honest" their meme of the year because it was the most-often mentioned phrase of 2012.
Even though we're self-proclaimed addicts, Facebook can be super confusing. There's that whole copyrighting thing, for one. Turkeys can be voted for pardoning and a cat petition can get liked 120,000 times. It's a weird, weird world. Recently, one guy decided to take advantage of the social media site's strangeness by playing an awesome prank on fellow users.
Don't just update your status—update your résumé. Facebook has just released a Social Jobs App that will allow people to search job listings from a multitude of sites like Monster and DirectEmployers.
We all know it's easy to get distracted and waste a ton of time on Facebook (or GuySpeed) but one guy is getting serious about his social media addiction -- he hired someone to slap him in the face every time he logs on to Facebook.
Most of us intuitively know that insulting your boss on Facebook is probably not the best idea, but what about other job-related opinions we have? More to the point, can you be fired for posting them?
A recent National Labor Relations Board hearing found that "overly broad" company policies regarding employees' social media activity is unlawful, but not protected by federal labor laws.
Sound a little confusing? Let us help out:
You may have strong political opinions, but new research finds that those hardcore rants you've been posting on Facebook lately just might be losing you some friends in your social media circle.
There are only a handful of games that I'll play on Facebook, and even then, I don't really play them on Facebook, but rather on my iPhone. I'll play 'Bejeweled Blitz', Zynga Poker, and maybe one or two more. Now, there is a new game out on Facebook called 'SongPop', and it is my new addiction.
Well, if what happens in Vegas isn't going to stay in Vegas, as many people as possible should probably put naked pictures of themselves up on Facebook to make it okay. It's maybe not how we would deal with the Naked Prince Harry Fiasco of 2012, but that doesn't mean it isn't happening right now.

Had lunch at Earth & Ocean today and was blown away by the house-cured ham made from Berkshire pigs raised by Mangalitsa maverick Heath Putnam of Wooly Pigs fame. (Profiled in a James Beard award-winning story by my friend Rebekah Denn.)
Can you see the marbling? It is so beautiful. Like every steak wants to be, but is not quite. The flavor's intense and delicate at the same time. The texture is an an exercise in that over-used adage: melt in your mouth. Liked the blueberries on top, but Northwest rhubarb maceated in sugar might have been even better. And the olive oil drizzle on top was overkill. The amazing ham stood on its own. It was some of the best damn ham I've ever eaten. Go. Get some.

"A face lifted car that is significantly better than the non faced model...a very rare thing..."
Normally I don't find face-lifted cars worth reviewing over because often almost nothing changes. In many cases the only changes are exterior only with no interior changes at all. The 2009 Sonata is an extremely rare case where there is significant changes over the previous year. Not much of the car's driving abilities have changed although it see...

wow the last stanza is beautifully simulated, one of the best similes i have ever seen! (Report) Reply
Denise Levertov
What Were They Like?
Did the people of Viet Nam
use lanterns of stone?
Did they hold ceremonies
to reverence the opening of buds?
Were they inclined to quiet laughter?
Did they use bone and ivory,
jade and silver, for ornament?
Had they an epic poem?
Did they distinguish between speech and singing?
Sir, their light hearts turned to stone.
It is not remembered whether in gardens
stone gardens illumined pleasant ways.
Perhaps they gathered once to delight in blossom,
but after their children were killed
there were no more buds.
Sir, laughter is bitter to the burned mouth.
A dream ago, perhaps. Ornament is for joy.
All the bones were charred.
it is not remembered. Remember,
most were peasants; their life
was in rice and bamboo.
When peaceful clouds were reflected in the paddies
and the water buffalo stepped surely along terraces,
maybe fathers told their sons old tales.
When bombs smashed those mirrors
there was time only to scream.
There is an echo yet
of their speech which was like a song.
It was reported their singing resembled
the flight of moths in moonlight.
Who can say? It is silent now.

IMPROVEMENT m MAGNETO-ELECTRIC.DlAL-TELEGRAPHSQ Specification forming part of LettersPatent N0. 1 13,240, dated April 4, 1871.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, GEO. L. ANDERS, at present residing in Boston, Massachusetts, have inventedlcertain Improvements in Magneto-Electric Dial-Telegraps; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same,reterence being had to the accompanying drawingsand letters of reference marked thereon, making apart of this specification, in whicht Figure 1 a perspective view of my invention. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the cap of indicator 1), inverted. Figs. 3 and 4; are sectional views of the indicator 1), showing side elevations of the interior. Fig. 5is a side elevationwith the key-board and top casing removed. Fig. 6 is a transverse-vertical section through line at m, Fig. 5; and Figs. 7, 8, 9, and 10, views of parts in detail.
This invention relates to magneto-electric dial-telegraph instruments of the step-bystep description, wherein keys are employed to select the letters and characters to be indicated, its object being to obviate the use of the old arrangement of keys, which are located radially around the dial, and to facilitate the operation of selecting said letters and it consists mainly in the combination of a magneto-generator with a drum fitted loosely on a shaft or arbor, revolved by suitable gearing,
' and provided on its periphery with a line of radial pins or projections running spirally from end to end thereof.
It also consists of a series of catch-springs under said drum, operated by a straight bank of keys, similar to those of the pianoforte, in such manner that each key raises a spring which engages with one of the, pins on the drum and arreststhe revolution of the same, said drum being connected to its revolving shaft'or arbor by a ratchet-and-pawl arrangement, similar to that employed in the magneto of Prof. Wheatst0ne,.whereby the connection between the drum and arbor is maintained, and
the drum revolved until the motion of the latter is arrested by the means before mentioned, when said connection ceases, and the arbor revolves without the drum until the same is released, when the connection is resumed.
It also consists in a contact pin or lever,
located on the arbor of: the drum, and other details of construction, which will be more fully.describedhereinafter.
1n the drawings, A represents the magnetogenerator, which is located within the case A,- and consists of the horseshoe-magnets a a a,
between the poles of which is a revolving armature, B. i
The armature B is located on a shaft, b, which has an insi'llated bearing, A and is revolved by. a belt passing over pulley G from .drive-wheel c, this latter being operated by a crankor treadle, as desired.
V The shaft b is provided with apinion, D, which meshes with cog-wheel d, which has its bearings in the top of case A its shaft being in turn provided with a'pinion which meshes with the cog-wheel E, which latter is loosely vstandards F F on the top of case A On the shaft 0 isa drum, G, which is fitted loosely thereon, composed of india-rubber or other like material, and provided with a line of radially-projecting pins, f, running spirally from end to end of the drum.
Immediately'under drum G is a metallic spring-plate, G ,c01'1structedlike a comb, with teeth or springs g, attached to a plate, G over the uppersurface of case A saidsprings having their ends bent upward to form catches. i
The springs g are so located with relation to pins f that each spring, when raised, will catch one of said pins and suspend the revolution of drum G; the raising of the springs being effected by a bank of keys, H, which are similar to those of a piano-forte, each key, when depressed, raising a corresponding spring. a
The shaft 6 is provided with aratchet, I, which, with the cog-wheel E, isattached to a sleeve, 0, which turns loosely on shaft 6 near one end of drum G, between which and the ratchet I is an arm,-i, which is rigidly attached to shaft 0.
To the arm 11 is pivoted a pawl, J, which is arm j of pawl J, and allow the same to have sleeved on shaft 0, which has its hearings in and pawls t, to escape-wheel ed by wire W,'pillar Q, and wire W a limited play between them. The arm j is provided with a spring, j, which bears against fii-iger k, while a spring, L, on arm 'i'bears against the opposite side of arm j.
'Near the opposite end of drum G is a metal disk, 1, which is loosely located on shaft c and provided with an arm or lever, M, the end of which projects between the ends of standard m and insulated plate N, the insulation of the latter being efl'ccted by a layer of rubber between itself and standard m, as shown in Fig. 8.
Between the disk 1 and the end of drum G is adisk of leather, n, and another metal disk, 0, which is provided with a spring which presses disks n 0 against disk Z, which, when revolved, exert sufficient friction against disk l-which is prevented from revolving by the 'contact of lever M with plate N-to secure a positive reaction of the lever when the drum ceases its motion, thereby securing a positive change of contact from the plate N to stand- -'ard 'n, and also securing the efficient operation of the ratchet-and-pawl arrangement I, J, 860.,
atthe opposite end of the drum G.
On the upper surface of casing A is a disk or casing, P, which incloses the keyboard-and other mechanism. 0n the casing P is located I an indicatonp, which consists of a cylindrical metallic case pivoted between metallic pillars and provided at its upper end with a dialplate containing the characters, figures, &c., and a pointer or index, are helices It R, having armatures r1", between which is a vertical bifurcated lever,S, pivoted at its lower end, its bifurcations embracing ahorizontal bifurcated lever, T,which is pivoted to the under surface of-the cap of case p, as shown in Fig. 2, and provided with pawls t t, which bear against the ratchet U, which is located on the shaft of the index (1, the same being operated by the vibration of lever S between armatures r, caused by the alternation of currents through helices R, said vibrations being imparted, through lever T The helix It is connected by wire V, pillar Q, and wire V with the distant indicator or with the ground, while the helix R'is connectto the insulated plate N. The shaftB, which has an insulated bearing at A is connected to standard m by wireX, and the latter with the ground by wire Y. The standards F F are located on a metallic plate, Z, which,with the arbor e,
' forms a conductor from end to end of the ma chine.
OperationrThe magneto current is gener-' pressed, thereby releasing the last key, marked stop, which, when in its natural position, acts to raise its spring 9 and detain the drum q. -Within the case}? H which had been G,which now commences its revolution, and the current passes through indicator 10, which current, passing through helices R R, imparts a vibratory motion to lever S, which communicates said motion to lever T, which revolves escape-wheel U, and operates the hand q of the indicator.
The revolution of the drum is effected by the spring L pressing the armj of pawl J forward, and causing the latter to bear upon the periphery of the ratchet-wheel I, and engage with the teeth of the same, thereby connecting the drum with the shaft; but when the motion of said drum is arrested, the finger k ofarm K is caused, by the reaction of the.
drum, as before mentioned, to force the arm j backward, thereby raising pawl J, and clearing the same from the teeth of ratchet I.
When the motion of the drum is arrested, the contact-lever M, which was in contact with the insulated plate N, drops on the contact standard m, thereby breaking the current through the indicatorp, suspending the vibration of levers S T and revolution .of the escapewheel U, which causes the needle or pointer to stop at the letter corresponding to the key depressed.
The desired letter being thus indicated at every depression of a key, and the consequent raising of one'of the springs g, the indicator points out the letter, while the same function is performed on the distant indicator on well-known principles.
The pressure being removed from that key depressed, the spring .9 which had arrested the drum Gr resumes its former position by its own elasticity, and releases said drum, which is revolved slightly by means of the friction exerted by disks n 0, this slight motion being sufficient to cause the arm-K'of drum G to come in contact with the arm j of pawl J, thereby imparting suffi cient motion to the same to engage said pawl with the ratchet I, which causes the drum to revolve until again arrested, as above described.
The springs of plate G perform three functions-as springs for the keys H, as springs for the catches formed by bending their ends,
and as catches for detaining the drum G, as
The advantages of this arrangementare the facility and ease with which it is worked, the operator being enabled to sit at the machine and manipulate the keys and work the treadle or crank at the same time, without obstructing his view of the dial, while by the use of the straight key-board the whole mechanism is enabled to be covered by the disk-shaped casing P, which, when closed, is of great convenience to the operator in copying.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. The drum G, composed of rubber .or other like material, provided with the pins f, ararranged spirally, in combination with the spring-plate G and keys H, all arranged and 5. The combination, with a magneto-elecoperated substantially as described. tric dial-telegraph, of a straight key-board, H.

President Obama did a smart thing Wednesday by picking University of Oklahoma President David Boren to co-lead a panel that will advise him on intelligence-related matters. Obama would be wise to heed the advice Boren's group provides.
A couple of things stand out about the selection of Boren to co-chair of Obama's Intelligence Advisory Board. First, the former chairman of the U.S. Senate's Select Committee on Intelligence will be able to counsel the president on subjects he knows well, such as assessing the performance of various U.S. intelligence-gathering agencies since 9/11 prompted a number of structural changes. "Part of our task will be to see how well the system is digesting these changes," Boren said. Second, he won't have to quit his day job. Boren's new assignment is part time and unpaid. Inescapable is a sense Obama is rewarding Boren for his early support last year in Obama's campaign for the White House. Still, the work Boren will put in with co-chair Chuck Hagel, another former senator, potentially could be valuable to Obama and the country — if the president takes heed. Boren's experience and moderate politics are a good fit for advising in an area that truly is nonpartisan — developing the structures and strategies to make sure the United States understands threats and trends in today's world. The appointment also is a good thing for Oklahoma: visibility for a state that didn't support Obama last year but which can offer the talents of a career public servant to benefit the greater good.

Three bare burglars burgle beef. Only in Florida is that not a tongue twister but the latest true crime.
Occurring at Doc's Beach House in Bonita Springs, in the US state of Florida, in the middle of the night on July 19, three young men are seen on video roaming around the restaurant's kitchen in their underwear and taking a case of hamburgers and some red capsicum from the refrigerator, according to Lee County sheriff spokesman Tony Schall.
Then, mysteriously, they strip off their underwear and walk around the kitchen nude awhile longer before leaving. Did they purposely want to leave clues? Were their underwear supposed to make up for the inconvenience — not to mention bewilderment — they caused? The authorities and restaurant owners are as baffled as you.
Although photos from the security camera are being posted widely on the Internet, only two tips have come in so far, says Schall, with no one apparently recognising the faces. But how about the other body parts? Don't they ring a bell? No?
Investigators might never uncover the culprits, says Schall, adding that officers suspect the three may have been tourists. Tourists? Good gracious! But from where? The Nudist Republic? — Reuters
