8 reasons why the new Facebook Insights are not sufficient
Facebook has recently launched a new version of their Facebook Insights tool. A major improvement, compared to the previous version, it now allows any Page owner to obtain good data to guide actions on Facebook.
Is the new tool enough for your needs? If you're a very small Page, probably. For others, we think that some important features are missing.
Here is a list of
eight worthy features you're missing out if you stick to Facebook Insights
instead of a third-party tool like Wisemetrics Stream.
1. Full Month Report
While you can select a month or more, you're unable to tell how many people you've reached or engaged for a whole month. Insights' charts give you this data on a week per week basis only and the excel extract will give you these numbers on a 28 days basis. You have no solution for receiving complete data for your monthly report.
2. Full Data History
Want to compare 2013 with 2012? Or The last 3 months with the 3 months before? You can't. Insights only gives you data for the last 89 days.
3. Details of Engagement
While Facebook Insights provides some data about Likes, Shares and Comments, you have no total count and you have no data about Picture Views, Video Plays or Link Clicks that generally make up most of the total engagement.
4. Topics Analysis
Performance data on each post is great and necessary, but you need more to drive your content strategy. You need to review the performance of the topics as well. Did your product-launch posts generat engagement, virality or negative feedback? Are you talking too much about your charitable activities and not enough about your product? You need a third-party tool to easily measure that.
5. ROI Evaluation
You absolutely need to have a Facebook Page, but why? Facebook Insights doesn't give you any tool to estimate the return on investment of your Page's organic activities (Paid activities is another story).
6. Competitive Benchmark
If you have 1,231 likes on your post, is it a success or a total failure? Difficult to tell if you can't compare with your main competitors.
7. Powerpoint Export
The final use of analytics is to produce a report. With the new Facebook Insights, you're still losing valuable time copying/pasting graphs or exporting and crunching data into Excel if you're brave enough. Wouldn't your life be easier if in just one click you could generate a Powerpoint export on which you only have to add your comments?
8. Virality measurement
A great promise of Facebook is to gain visibility thanks to the platform's virality features. Unfortunately, virality metrics have totally disappeared from the new Insights. But tools like Wisemetrics Stream still have them.
If you're now convinced that you need more, have a look at our Facebook analytics solution : most data is absolutely free and you'll get access to all the features listed above.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Act) presents serious implications for any client, large and small, that you may represent in a merger or acquisition. The broad obligations of the Act, as refined by the guidance and regulations which have been, and will be, promulgated by the IRS, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Department of Labor, must be carefully considered and addressed in any M&A transaction.
One thing is certain, if you are representing a buyer in a transaction, you need to become familiar with the current and future compliance obligations that the Act imposes on employers. At a minimum, areas of particular focus in an M&A transaction include conducting effective due diligence, careful drafting of transaction documents to address targeted representations and warranties and interim operational activities of the selling entity, and consideration of potential business integration issues.
When conducting due diligence, buyers need to ensure the selling entity has met and continues to meet its compliance obligations under the Act. There are a number of obligations that have already been triggered and more are on the horizon. For example, in 2012, certain employers are required to report insurance benefits on the employee's W-2 form (distributed in 2013). Also, certain health care plans with plan years effective on or after September 23, 2012 must distribute the Summary Of Benefits & Coverage (SBC) to plan participants within the time frames specified in the Act. Failure to do so can result in penalties. The buyer will need to ensure that the selling entity has properly distributed the SBC and the SBC contains all the required information so that the buyer is not exposed to penalties after closing. Additional obligations become effective every year through 2018. As these additional compliance obligations arise, your client will need counsel regarding their impact and may need to retain experts in the health care field to assist in determining whether the selling entity has complied with the Act.
In addition to conducting thorough due diligence, you may also need to protect your client's interests through new, carefully drafted representations and warranties that specifically address the selling entity's compliance with all of the applicable requirements of the Act. For example, consider whether your standard representations and warranties adequately mitigate the risk of a seller's noncompliance with W-2 reporting requirements, the SBC distribution obligation, and the nondiscrimination, coverage and other requirements of the Act and the penalties associated with noncompliance. Furthermore, in 2014, additional representations and warranties may be advisable to address potential liabilities for fines that may be imposed if an employee receives subsidized coverage through insurance exchanges.
Also, in transactions having a significant period of time between agreement execution and closing, interim operating covenants may be advisable to require the buyer's involvement, and perhaps consent, for some of the selling entity's actions taken to meet the requirements of the Act.
Finally, there may be numerous and significant post-closing integration issues that should be considered. For example, if the buyer has a grandfathered health plan (a health plan that was in effect as of March 23, 2010 and which is not subject to a number of the requirements of the Act), that status could be impacted or lost through the acquisition and integration of the selling entity's health plans, exposing the buyer to additional requirements.
A useful Act implementation timeline is at http://www.whitehouse.gov/healthreform/timeline.

Pliny's Natural history |
Pliny the Elder (Como; ©!!!) |
Pliny the
Elder or Gaius Plinius Secundus (23-79):
Roman officer and encyclopedist,
author of the Natural history. This is the third
part of an article;
the first can be found here.
The Natural history"There is no book so bad that some good can not be got out of it," Pliny the Elder used to say, and he read everything that he could obtain. His nephew Pliny the Younger gives an indication how devoted his uncle was to reading and studying, which was like working to him.The only time he took from his work was for his bath, and by bath I mean his actual immersion, for while he was being rubbed down and dried he had a book read to him or dictated notes. When traveling he felt free from other responsibilities to give every minute to work; he kept a secretary at his side with book and notebook; and in winter saw that his hands were protected by long sleeves, so that even bitter weather should not rob him of a working hour. For the same reason, too, he used to be carried about Rome in a chair. I can remember how he scolded me for walking; according to him I need not have wasted those hours, for he thought any time wasted which was not devoted to work. It was this application which enabled him to finish all those volumes [of the Natural history]. |
Officer Scholar Procurator and prefect The Natural history |
the elder Pliny's maniacal
working habits, one starts to understand why he remained unmarried.
The Natural history, which was dedicated to Titus in 77, was, according to the author's nephew, "a learned and comprehensive work as full of variety as nature itself". The same sentiment is expressed in the last line of the encyclopedia: Greetings, Nature, mother of all creation, show me your favor in that I alone of Rome's citizens have praised you in all your aspects.This line is crucial to understanding the text, which is above all a Roman text. In fact, Pliny is romanizing science, which had until then been a Greek territory. Pliny's sometimes irritating polemics against Greek silliness are part and parcel of his project. At the same time, he really tries to offer descriptions of every aspect of the world. And it must be said: Pliny lives up to the expectations. In thirty-seven volumes, he does describe the full complexity of nature. And more than that, because in Pliny's view, which was common in Antiquity, "nature" includes things that we would call "culture". He deals with the entire creation, which is, in the author's stoic view fundamentally good because it is made by God. Another aspect of this encyclopedia that may cause some surprise to the modern reader, is the use of the word "history", which does not mean that Pliny is interested in the past (although he is), but means "research". The Latin title Historia naturalis could best be translated as "Research of the creation". The encyclopedia is a marvelous text. Pliny offers all kinds of information critically, mentions his sources, and often sees the fun of certain things. For example, in his catalogue of people who have reached a venerable old age, he mentions one man from Bologna who died when he was 150 years old - at least, he had been a tax payer for 150 years. The text has some structure. The first book is a
catalogue of sources,
which is followed by two groups of eighteen books. The first set is a
of nature, the second set describes nature in its relation to mankind.
Within the books, there is no real recognizable system, and one must
be surprised to find a description of navigation in the book on

Beginning in April, I will be writing a monthly column series called, "Where Are They Now?â€
The title should explain everything, but in case you're confused, here is what I have planned:
"Where Are They Now?†will be a monthly column in which I get in touch with a former area athlete and catch up with them about their life.
The column will give a short recap of their careers while informing the readers about the person's life now that they're out of the sports spotlight.
This column is open to any athlete who has ever played or had an impact on southwest North Dakota.
Because this is a monthly column, the goal is to make each column jive with the particular season we are currently covering at The Press.
While I have a short list of ideas for this column, I'd like to hear from the readers. Who do you think deserves a "Where Are They Now?†column? If you have an idea, please let me know who it is and why I should make them the focus of my column. If possible, provide some contact information for the person and a brief explanation of what they are currently doing.
Email your ideas to firstname.lastname@example.com.

I think I have bugs on my Calamondon orange tree, although I cant see them. It does not affect the entire plant - presently only 6 stalks are affected. It begins at the top leaves and works its way down toward the trunk. Only the leaf itself is snipped off. The little stem that attaches the leaf to the main stem remains. I think it is bugs because it is so localized to particular stems. There is absolutely no damage to the fallen leaf. Those six stalks are almost bare, but the rest of the tree looks just fine. Any ideas? It is probably just a matter of time until they move on to other stalks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Try using a magnifiying glass to examine it to see what's happening. Then if it is "bugs" you can cover with a plastic bag and spray it. Good Luck! |

Bombay Bicycle Club
"So Long, See You Tomorrow"
Vagrant Records
Turns out London's Bombay Bicycle Club doesn't want to be a rock band after all.
That's OK. Lots of great bands get good at one thing, and then try another, and then you never hear from them again.
Those bands don't have the songwriting chops of Bombay leader Jack Steadman. He has long slipped synths, loops and samples into his songs. But, this time, he builds the songs around them.
And he's not always writing to please. Sometimes he just wants you to stop and listen.
"Whenever, Wherever" begins like the typical sensitive indie-rock piano ballad, and then, wham. Out come the layered vocals, the loops, the clashing guitars and drums.
It ain't Bright Eyes.
"Carry Me" doesn't even ease into it. The harsh synths start banging right away, with dizzying loops that sound like a skipping CD.
"I won't change / You know that," Steadman bleats.
That's not to say there aren't plenty of lovely moments in the new set. Even in "Carry Me," Steadman's repeated words and his vocals blended with several female singers can be mesmerizing.
And the first single, "Luna," is clubby and fun, while "Eyes Off You," is all trippy vocals and swirling drums.
Lyla Foy
"Mirrors The Sky"
Sub Pop
Recording solo as WALL, Lyla Foy created delicate little songs on the computer in her bedroom.
Some of those tiny songs, including a cover of Karen Dalton's "Something on Your Mind," were interesting little gems and got her noticed in her native England.
With the 25-year-old's debut under her own name, she fronts a band and it's just what she's needed to fill out her soaring gossamer voice.
The band subtly adds keyboards, bass, drums and electric guitars, and a clarinet floats in on a couple of tracks. But nothing gets in the way of Foy's voice, which shifts from live to loops, and her lyrics about first love and holding love together.
"Hold that feather tongue / Don't make a scene" she pleads with a lover who needs a little tightening up.
On pop rockers like "Impossible" and the electro throb of "I Only," Foy has clearly spent some time with her parents' old Kate Bush and Fleetwood Mac records. And, the guitars on the dreamy "Someday" veer into the goth of bands like Warpaint.
The slow, dreary tone eventually gets tiresome, and it will be interesting to see how Foy develops as a bandleader. But for now, her clear, fragile voice is enough to carry a project.
Run River North
Nettwerk Music Group
If you're jumping into folk-rock now — with Mumford and Sons, the Lumineers and Edward Sharp and Magnetic Zeroes already wearing out their welcome — you better have something special.
Being six Korean-Americans from the same Los Angeles church doesn't hurt.
The band's self-produced video also went viral enough to land them a spot on "Jimmy Kimmel Live." And Phil Ek produced their debut album. He's the one who put the pop shine to bands like The Shins, Fleet Foxes and Built to Spill.
You can hear it in the first single, "Monsters Calling Home," which could pass for anything from any one of those bands.
And, that's the only criticism, although it's hardly a condemnation. It's just that Run River North, with its ringing guitars, rousing her-and-him harmonies and swelling strings, sounds numbingly familiar.
Too bad. Had they broken out three years ago, everyone would be chasing them instead.

Vancouver and Seattle: a tale of two arts cities
Last week, the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra kicked off its West Coast tour with a concert at Seattle's Benaroya Hall. The orchestra turned in a performance rather like the Seahawks: an awkward first half followed by a stunning second half, sending Prokofiev far over the moon.
More about the concert below, but first some thoughts comparing Vancouver and Seattle as arts cities. Both cities are rich, full of arts appreciators, about the same size. Yet by most measures of artistic achievement, Seattle ranks far ahead of Vancouver. How come?
More than two decades ago I received a visitor from Vancouver to my offices at Seattle Weekly. This cultivated Londoner wanted to encourage us to start, with him, a version of the Weekly in Vancouver, with emphasis on sophisticated arts coverage. He fondly imagined (these were the late 1980s, when such delusions were still alive) that good arts criticism would develop audiences who would demand a higher caliber of arts performances, particularly music.
The publishing venture never happened, but it did prompt a serious look at Vancouver media and the arts. There wasn't much back then: a smallish Vancouver Arts Gallery, an opera company that had a few high moments when Joan Sutherland's husband was its conductor and could attract the aging, great soprano. Pretty good theater and ballet. Mediocre performance venues. Some lively wrong-side-of-the-tracks arts in East Vancouver.
Seattle, meanwhile, had the Big Five (opera, symphony, ballet, art museum, theater), all growing rapidly and about to enter into a decade in which a billion dollars of new arts buildings were going up. This is highly unusual for a city of our mid-size, where normally only one or two arts organizations has a big budget a high aspirations.
The disparity had several explanations. Canadian arts get far more public subsidy than ours, but an awkward amount – not enough to create excellence, but enough to discourage private donations. That funding is also unstable, as when B.C. cut arts funding by more than half in 2009, though much of this was later restored albeit nowhere near the levels promised when the BC Lottery Fund was set up.
Vancouver is a city without the kind of striving-for-national-attention business establishment that Seattle had in those building decades, in part because the B.C. economy is resource-based and many of the corporate offices are in the suburbs, not downtown, and headquarters tend to be in Calgary, Montreal, and Toronto. (Developers make a lot more money building condos than office towers in glittering downtown Vancouver.) And as "Canada's California," Vancouver is more about enjoying the outdoors and the laid-back, counter-cultural life than using high arts to attract corporate employees and to stimulate downtown real estate (the Seattle formula).
Seattle, if anything, over-achieved. Now all of our majors are struggling financially and scaling back, and we keep shedding theater companies and small musical groups. Vancouver still has many of the same handicaps. You would think, with an Expo and a Winter Games, that it would have built first-class performance spaces, but the VSO is still confined to the Orpheum, a converted movie palace, and Vancouver Opera makes do in the remodeled but acoustically ungainly Queen Elizabeth Hall. One truly fine music venue is the Chan Centre at U.B.C., but it's a small venue with lots of demand on the space from the university and far out on the edge of town.
The Vancouver Art Gallery is currently paralyzed by a civic debate about whether to build a big new museum or to fix up the small one and build a series of satellite museums. One big collector who is also the chair of the VAG Foundation, Michael Audain, is sending his fabulous collection to Whistler.
And there are many recent casualties, in part because the B.C. government is scaling back support of the arts further. The beloved Vancouver Playhouse, scene of the most serious theater, has just disbanded after 49 years. MusicFest Vancouver, a summer festival, has suspended operations. Ballet BC has managed to return from the brink of extinction. The latest blow is the closing of the Waldorf Hotel, a funky cultural center that is the heart of East Vancouver. The city had done better than Seattle in creating art spaces in less affluent neighborhoods, but now a mainstay of that world has been lost (though the arts advocates are fighting back).

Any comparison has to take into account Seattle's much larger size. The two countries count "metro areas" in a variety of ways, but if you call Seattle four million and Vancouver two and a half that would be about right. It certainly helps explain some of the differences in arts support. On the flip side, Vancouver is denser, and sometimes being able to walk to a museum or symphony encourages you to go more often.

I love seeing these comparisons between Seattle and Vancouver. While reading it I was reminded of Ethelbert Miller, the poet, activist and head of the African-American Resource Center at Howard U in Washington DC, who says when the opera comes in, he gets nervous. Says while it's a good sign for high brow culture, it's a bad sign for everything else.
I think about that when I compare the two cities as towns as places for innovative poetry. Seattle had Roethke starting in 1947 and David Wagoner is fond of saying that there was not a poet within 500 miles at that time. True enough, but when Roethke made the switch to open form in the early 60s, he was about 50 years behind those at the leading edge of that effort. Still, better late than never. But in Vancouver in the early 60s they have had the TISH poets (which have given Canada two poets laureate). That in itself would be enough, a whole movement and generation pushing the poetics of Charles Olson (who was the first to use the term post-modern and, essentially pioneered the post-modern movement in U.S. literature), Robert Duncan (the subject of a brilliant new biography by Lisa Jarnot) and Jack Spicer, whose books sell in Vancouver almost as well as they do Spicer's home base, San Francisco. That was the energy that facilitated the seminal Vancouver Poetry Conference of 1963 which has never been equaled in Seattle.
Then there is Robin Blaser, who pushed the serial poem form ahead of just about anyone on the planet, the Kootenai School of Writing, a beachhead for Language Poetry in Vancouver, the eco-dharma school of poetry as Trevor Carolan likes to describe it, taking off from the work of people like Gary Snyder, and other such innovators. Seattle, on the other hand, has not had the same amount of activity for as long, but Jeanne Heuving's new poetics program at UW Bothell (of all places) is a wonderful addition, if heavy on the Language Poetry side of things. Their Convergence on Poetics conference last September was a major gathering of innovative writers from all over the U.S. There is great hope for Seattle, being such a literate city, with myriad natural energy sources from which to write (mountains, glaciers, waterfalls, island, fjords, &c;) but when it comes to something beyond money to make an artistic movement happen, Vancouver in my estimation, has had the edge. Now if only those opera types could make it a little easier for poets with housing (Art Space Seattle is a great start), or health care assistance (community acupuncture and Project Access NW are great starts too) or grants based on innovative prowess. Too many arts grant projects in Seattle are essentially quota programs that benefit mediocrity. The Griffin Poetry Prize, which has gone to people like John Ashberry, Robin Blaser and other bone fide innovators would be a great model to emulate and would be a drop in the bucket of the opera fans.

Excellent article, and of course, one must account not only for size as mhays says, but wealth - both corporate and individual - as well as philanthropic climate and tax differences in the two countries. It is astonishing to see the difference in the donor recognition pages between the Seattle Symphony and the Vancouver Symphony; the size of the VSO's list, and the levels of support, are a very small, very pale shadow of the Seattle Symphony's. It is quite the eye-opener. The levels of available support from individuals - donations and ticket purchases - and corporations is just completely different, and here Vancouver is utterly dwarfed by Seattle.

An Evaluation of "Making Money Made Simple"
– This edition was published in 1992. As the author himself states in the
"the laws relating to taxation, social security benefits, and the investment and handling of money, are constantly changing…"
– The
states that over half a million copies have been sold since publication of the first edition. Question: Do you think this indicates the publication is reliable?
– Unknown - there is no bibliography or references included.
– At the time of publication, the author was a director of Whittaker McNaught Pty Ltd. Credentials are listed as ASCPA, CIFA and AFAIM. The author has written several other books - "Getting it Together" , "More Money with Noel Whittaker", "Living Well in Retirement".
– It is difficult to assess the validity of this work as there is no bibliography at the end and no references are made throughout – these omissions are a concern given the legislation-dependent nature of the subject matter.

I have super oily skin and for years I used Clinique's and Biotherma's cleansers, specially formulated for oily skins. I decided to get a laser treatment for my hyper pigmentation and acne scaring and the doctor recommended this product to remove my makeup. I was not optimist about this, I mean, the products I was using were supposed to be top quality. I was wrong! I removed one side of my face with the Clinique Take the day off milk and after "taking all off" I passed a cotton pad with the Yves Rocher cleansing milk and I noticed how the pad still removed a lot of make up that was still on my skin. Needless to say my skin got better and my pores got cleaned and unclogged. This is the only thing I changed in my cleansing routine.
I use the Micellar water too if I don't want to use water to rinse off this product. On some occasions I have skipped the rinsing part and leave it as a moisturizer, it leaves a nice soft skin and even my super oily skin looks better and hydrated. I won't use another cleanser as long as Yves Rocher keeps this cleanser in their range.

I've used a few Yves Rocher cleansers and thought I've give this one a try as it is more the cream/milk type I have been used to using in other brands. This cleans very well after I rub a bit on damp skin and wipe off with a washcloth, with only a tiny bit of my makeup and heavy sunscreen left when I use a toner. It also did not dry me out or cause much irritation around my eyes, a major plus for me! The only problem I have is the smell, I HATE it and unfortunately it lingers and I can't get passed the feeling I'm rubbing grass and dirt all over my face. Some may like the "green" smell, but for me, I will not repurchase.
I started using cleansing milk products after I read here that sunscreen doesn't fully come off with soap and after a while, blocks pores. My solution was to apply a cleansing milk/cream product, then soap, and follow with my usual Erno Lazlo-based routine. I generally get either whatever cleansing milk/cream is on sale at Yves Rocher or at TJ Maxx. I got this as a freebie, I think, or part of a set, and became a convert. Now I get it even when it isn't on sale.
It is very gentle, leaves my skin feeling CLEAN, and is only slightly moisturizing, enough that if I use it (and remember, I use these combined with soap), after rinsing I don't have that cracky/dry feeling. But there's never greasiness and it never makes me break out. A very few times I've used as directed, that is, without soap. When I did, it was not at a time my skin was particularly dirty. The result was the same: no greasiness, delicately moisturized, clean feeling. This is a gorgeous product.

QUALITY: It has a bamboo and green tea fragrance but it doesn't irritate my sensitive acne prone skin at all. It felt soothing and soft on the face, the fragrance helps to calm my mind and the ingredient calms my skin sensitivity, and most important of all, it does what a cleanser is supposed to do, clean, all of my make up (sunscreen, primer, foundation, concealer, powder, blush, lipstick) but I use an Lancome Bi-Facil cleanser to remove eye make up separately; AND it doesn't leave a film on the face like Cetaphil. Before that, I used Philosophy Purity Cleanser (the yellow, original one, no form, no exfoliating grain that one), and it was pretty good. But, the Yves Rocher one gives me more smooth and softer after feel, not mention at friction of the price, and it's a green product!
PACKAGING: The packaging is another story: I give it 2 out of 5. In modern speedy world, I have to flip it open with my thumb, squeeze, and close the flip. Why can't Yves Rocher give us a pump dispenser or at least a one-touch push down on the side of lid to speed up the morning routine? And because of the small size of the lid with not much space for a normal size of thumb, it's hard to flip it with a thumb for some people, using both hands are easier and more realistic, and the thin plastic lid doesn't look durable at all. Everytime I open and close the lid, I worry it will be broken for the very next time.

I couldn't find my favorite Aveeno Ultra-Sensitive Cleansing Cream in the drugstores anymore and started searching for an alternative cleanser. Almost any other cream cleanser I've used left my skin red and inflamed, but not this product. It's very gentle and calming cleanser that has not given me any problem whatsoever. Love it.
This is my FAVORITE cleanser! I've used many drugstore and high-end brands, and this so far is my fav :) I use a cotton pad to wipe it all over, and then rinse my face. My face used to be very dry, and especially stinging under the eyes from Vichy Milk Cleanser and Shiseido foams... too bad I didn't realize they were drying out my face SOONER, until it started feeling pretty bad.
But!! after a 3-4 days of using this lovely stuff, my skin is restored and better than ever! I was skeptical at first and I thought I was gonna return this. I'm glad I stuck to it, because now my skin feels strong and it looks radiant!! And I love running my fingers on my skin because it's so smooooth :)
Also a great makeup remover and has a nice, natural scent (like almond-tea.. mmm)

Judith Miller's scarlet letter
It wasn't exactly the rebuttal she was looking for, and it sure didn't appear in the glam Sunday paper, but Judith Miller finally received her guerdon for holding out on the New York Times — and threatening their threatening.
But rather than the op-ed piece she wanted, Judy received only a letter to the editor. Editorial editor Gail Collins had no interest in letting an op-ed column be used for internal squabbling, but a letter? Sure, no prob.
So Judy says goodbye to her readers, her second home and her colleagues — but not her confidence. While she says her farewells, in classic Judy, Ms. Miller didn't steer away from touting her accomplishments .. but only because no one else will. (Emphasis ours.)
• "I chose to go to jail not only to honor my pledge of confidentiality, but also to dramatize the need for such a federal law."
• "After 85 days, more than twice as long as any other American journalist has ever spent in jail for this cause, I agreed to testify before the special prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald's grand jury about my conversations with my source, I. Lewis Libby Jr."
• "I am honored to have been part of this extraordinary newspaper and proud of my accomplishments here - a Pulitzer, a DuPont, an Emmy and other awards - but sad to leave my professional home."
• "Even before I went to jail, I had become a lightning rod for public fury over the intelligence failures that helped lead our country to war."
Glad to see Judy's ordeal has humbled her.

Federal Trade Commission
Elena Kagan Says It Is Fine If The Law Bans Books
SCOTUS nominee Elena Kagan has argued before the Supreme Court that it's fine if the Law bans books.
Her rationale?
Because the government won't really enforce it.
I'm no legal scholar but this sounds like a 3rd grade argument.
Aren't our nominees suppose to have better reasoning skills and a solid grasp of the U.S. Constitution? As well as a fundamental understanding of such concepts like Freedom of Speech?

Big Brother and The Fish Wrapper Industry
Content advisory in the video for one very crude section. From the only reliable source of news on the net, the Onion. The Onion exaggerates a bit. Why the Boston Globe probably has at least a few years of death spiral left to it before it has zero subscribers.
The Federal Trade Commission has produced a staff discussion draft which may be read here, filled with bad ideas to prop up the dead tree media. Among the worst of the ideas is what boils down to government money being used to subsidize the fish wrapper industry:
Proposals for Increased Government Subsidies, Indirect and Direct A variety of proposals have emerged to allow further government support for journalism through either indirect or direct means. Whatever the means, care must be taken to ensure that government support does not result in biased and politicized news coverage.
Increase Government Funding
Establish a "journalism" division of AmeriCorps. AmeriCorps is the federal program that places young people with nonprofits to get training and do public service work.87 According to proponents, this proposal would help to ensure that young people who love journalism will stay in the field. "It strikes us as a win-win; we get more journalists covering our communities, and young journalists have a chance to gain valuable experience – even at a time when the small dailies where they might have started are laying reporters off."

Extended version is now uploaded.
Consider this an exercise into how far the Canon C300 can be pushed in terms of sensitivity. In this new edit there are sections at the beginning and end that, with the exception of a few cars passing by, all available light is from the waning full moon a few nights ago.
The remainder of the footage was shot around town in a variety of challenging lighting situations. During most of this, the C300 kept begging me to move the actress into the shadows, and I think it's a testament to this camera's sensitivity how well it transitions between light and dark. (any hot spots you see in her skintones are due to the grade, not the footage as the c-log captured detail in all areas of the scene except the light sources themselves).
Thanks for not commenting on the focusing. I'm absolutely wide open on a 1.2 lens most of the time, and as the Zacuto baseplates haven't shipped, I can't use a follow focus with this camera yet. (and none of the shots are blocked, marked or otherwise planned)
For the moonlight footage Camera was set to ISO 10,000 1/24 sec (24p), Lens was 50MM L 1.2 set at 1.4 or 1.2
except the walking/tracking shot after the credits which was at 20,000 with the 35mm f1.4. The gamma was mostly normal 1 with some c-log thrown in. WB is mostly tungsten, but the last clip is the daylight preset.
I had intended to provide a comparison clip with taken on a 5dmarkII, but it was only capable of recording the moon itself...otherwise a completely black frame.
The urban stuff was largely iso 2000-5000, with I think 10,000 in the hallway of the bar. All lighting was as we found it. (except as strobing LED flashlight used in the pay phone booth).
Stick around after the credits for an extended 20,000 iso clip, and another 10,000 iso shot, probably my favorite shot of the whole shoot, except, as it has my car in the background, doesn't quite fit with the vague story of a girl waiting for a ride.
Any questions?

I was looking at old photos from the depression and I saw this sign in Chicago in 1943. What is the deal with the 33 to 1?
No clue but that is a GREAT shot. Very clear and the colors look fantastic. It would be a great enlarged as a 5'x3' back drop behind a bar.

The perspective is funny; the PBR sign looks bigger than the skyscrapers. Here's the 33-to-1 explanation
Incidentally, that sign was originally a Chevy sign. Loads more info here:http://www.shorpy.com/node/47 [edit] Make sure to follow the link on that page to an old B/W video of the workings of the Chevy sign. Great stuff.
Cool sign, but I wonder how they manage to get so little flavor out of 33 tries...
hah walker, my parents have a handful of those trays (we used them for crawfish all throughout the the 80's), they have the PBR along with some others like MGD and budweiser.

I'm in zone 6. I have several flower-box style plastic planters with different kinds of mint in them, and 2 or 3 of them are wilting significantly. The two that are wilting the most are the spearmint and the chocolate mint.
These planters are about 2 ft x 9 inches, and I used Miracle Gro organic potting soil to plant them. The planters were outside in pretty full sun, and I've been watering thoroughly daily. I went on vacation for a week, and a friend was watering my plants. About day 4 or 5, she noticed the spearmint wilting significantly and moved it under the deck, where it receives some sun through the decking and then gets about maybe 4-6 hours of sun in the late afternoon. When I got back in a couple days later, it became clear that my spearmint and chocolate mint were having real wilting problems, although the lemon mint, orange mint and peppermint were all doing just fine in the same spot. After some quick research that made me wonder if they were getting too much sun and drying out, I moved all mints under the deck. After a couple of days now under the deck and watering, the spearmint and chocolate mint really don't seem to be getting much better, although the friend who was taking care of them says they look better than they were when she noticed the problem. Any suggestions here? |

Your friend was watering the plants every day? I think you need to check the sogginess of the soil, and change it if necessary. Mint doesn't need to be watered every day. It prefers MOIST soil, not wet or soggy. The wishy-washy sun you get in a cool climate won't hurt mint in the slightest. If you've had some strong winds, however, that might affect it somewhat. Mind you, although overwatering could be a worry, probably the main problem is that you've got your mints in pots - and I'd be prepared to bet they aren't very big pots. Mint needs the largest pot you can manage, and even then you need to divide and repot on a regular basis. Those roots really are aggressive growers. |
If you're watering every day and have wilt you need to check to see if the pots are rootbound. Mints grow extensive root systems and may have completely filled the pots with roots. I have my mints in pots that I partially buried to keep the mint from spreading and taking over the garden. I've only reset them once, but they are probably due again this year. We've had significant drought but I haven't watered them at all. They are even more full this year than in last year's picture. |

Ben, I loved The Lonesome Crowded West and Last Week, but this does not resonate with me - it felt contrived and by the numbers - it did not come across as inspired work, but workmanlike, aiming for a perceived audience, giving the public the "same ol' fare" - I've seen it all before, and much better - there was a distinct lack of "freshness", a "vitality" that elevates a work like this above mediocrity - let me give you an example.
I have read Kevan2121 - A Gentleman's game and A Boy's Tail - it's all been done before, but somehow he has managed to elicit a "freshness", has given these stories a new lease of life - in my opinion, both you and Doc failed to achieve this requisite - this feels like a variation of Beer Pong - I can see Doc's finger prints in this writing, less so of yours, even though you appear to get the writing credit - this is my observation.
Members cite they want honesty in reviews, well that is what you will get from me - this is not a Top 10 SP, it's not good enough, a reasonable effort with a small measure of humour, but truly, not good enough and you know that - it's Top 10 because both you and Doc are popular and talented writers with considerable goodwill from fellow members - you can do better, and you both know it - I'm impressed it exceeded 99 pages, did someone count the beats wrong?
Right from the outset, the opening page and setup, it's old hat - only my opinion, and I know you recieved wonderful reviews - formatting, structure and grammar was never going to be an issue, your level of expertise has accounted for that, but the premise is worn and tired - once again, this is uninspired writing - this is written to sell, but I don't believe you will achieve that with this vehicle.
Let me give some more examples - Jeez, Ben do all your stories refer to stalker's?
Mayor of a small town brings in prohibition
Our heroes conduct a Speakeasy
The mandatory "creep" bad cop - good cop
Hot girl "home" for the holidays from school prior to moving away - shy hero has a crush
Plenty of "right age group" swearing and crude bad ass cracks audience demographic
Hero risks the "College fund"
Hero works in dad's store
Love interest's father not impressed with hero
Wyatt's parents away in Europe - house to themselves
"he's the disease...and I'm the cure"
"You sound like a fucking douche bag"
Trevis attempts to frame Wyatt, hits himself in the face with the nightstick
Wyatt loses Ryan's money in a poker game - needs to redeem himself
Father/son motivational speech
Cliff to the rescue - very neat and tidy - did I mention convenient?
City Hall Council meeting and a trial - wow, how original - half expected to see Atticus Finch walk in.
You can love me or loathe me, but I believe you guys failed to rise to the occasion and should/could do better - best of luck.

A review of Preserving Memoryby Chanel Ashley on 08/13/2011This is only a free will, and my first review re a short film, so it will be short and sweet. I enjoyed the experience, it held my interest till the end - I liked in particular the camera work, some good and effective shots, and impressed with the editing - I also liked the fact there was no dialogue, this was definately a show, and not tell, and you told it well - the score... read
A review of Ground Work (early draft)by Chanel Ashley on 11/13/2009I won't mince words, I didn't enjoy the experience reviewing this work - your writing style is okay, your action lines as a rule short and sweet, but this deteriorates when describing fighting scences that go on forever. You use a considerable number of "ing" words throughout your script, when it is suggested we keep it to a minimum, but you chose to disregard that premise... read
A review of Sunshine Studios Presents R1by Chanel Ashley on 10/08/2009Hey, Bob, you were good enough to review my effort, thought I'd return the favour - surprised to see this is almost four years old. As one would expect, clean, crisp, plenty of white paper and no formatting issues - that now leaves the story. I enjoyed the start, quite amusing, you allow the setup to unfold quickly and immediately paint a picture, but to a degree, you paint... read

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Cocoa!
Facts about Cocoa
- Breed: Labrador Retriever
- Color: Brown/Chocolate
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
- ID#: Courtsey Listing
Cocoa's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Cocoa's owner is losing her home and can't take Baily and Cocoa with her. Both girls are super sweet and lovable. They have been both indoor and outdoor pets. Both do well on leash, with other dogs and love to play.
Adoption fee is $50.00, Baily is on heartworm preventative, current on all shots and she has been spayed. Vet records will be made available.
To meet these great girls please contact the owner 660-460-0988. Owner also understands Baily and Cocoa may be place in separate homes.
Other Pets at Windsor Animal Shelter
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Cocoa, a Windsor Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in Windsor, or seeking a Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in Windsor.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Windsor already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Windsor breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Windsor paves the way for another one to be saved.

Restaurant boosts retail
All of these restaurant sales start to transition over to retail sales.
"Whenever a consumer tries sweet potatoes in restaurants, they tend to reproduce those ideas at home, which means it's encouraging less seasonality in the fresh market," said Sue Johnson-Langdon, executive director of the Smithfield, N.C.-based North Carolina Sweet Potato Commission.
"It's becoming a more mainstream item that's used year-round instead of just at the holidays," she said.
The commission has a long-term goal to expand the foodservice segment for fresh sweet potatoes.
"After seeing the operational success and consumer excitement around the baked sweet potato limited time offer at Wendy's last year, efforts were refocused to position North Carolina as the optimum source," Cristy-Lucie Alvarado, representative for the commission, said in an e-mail.
The commission also has sponsored research and other events to encourage the use of more fresh North Carolina product in restaurants, according to Alvarado.
"Currently, the commission is meeting with chain executives to show how fresh sweet potatoes can add traffic and profitability to their restaurants," she said.

The rumoured claim that Microsoft's next generation Xbox will require an always-online connection to function has been further backed up by another report today.
According to Kotaku, two more 'sources' familiar with early prototype hardware report that the new console - codenamed Durango - won't run any games or apps without a connection to the internet.
"Unless something has changed recently, Durango consumer units must have an active internet connection to be used," one source apparently said, before detailing how the console might deal with dropped connections.
"If there isn't a connection, no games or apps can be started. If the connection is interrupted then after a period of time - currently three minutes, if I remember correctly - the game/app is suspended and the network troubleshooter started," they added.
Kotaku notes that other sources familiar with the new console have said they're unaware of any such plans for a required online connection, but have been unable to completely debunk the rumour. It was reportedly suggested that the online requirement could be enforced at the 'operating system level', meaning game developers don't necessarily need to be made aware of it.
In response to the report, a Microsoft rep said, "We do not comment on rumors or speculation. We are always thinking about what is next for our platform, but we don't have anything further to share at this time."
This backs a report from our colleagues at Edge, who cited sources claiming that next-gen Xbox games will require an internet connection in order to function, and that a passcode system will block second-hand game use.
These claims were later reinforced by screenshots reportedly taken from a Durango software development kit, which indicated the requirement of an always-on connection.
Sony has confirmed that the PlayStation 4 'will not demand an always-online connection'.
It has been speculated that Microsoft will announce its next-generation Xbox platform at a special event in late April.
The next Xbox, codename Durango, is said to utilise an AMD eight-core x64 1.6GHz CPU, a D3D11.x 800MHz graphics solution and 8GB of DDR3 RAM.

I tried to do a post on here tonight TWICE and things froze up when I hit 'preview'. Now I'm thinking maybe I won't preview it, just hit 'send' and hope for the best. Isn't it frustrating when you've gone through all the time & trouble of doing a picture post and then you lose everything? Anyway...I especially like Rachelle Agin and Royal Butterfly. Then there's something about Ribbons and Curls that draws me in...I like that one too. Celeste |
