Social media imperatives for small businesses
Jul 1st
My friend Nathan Egan recently gave an interview to Business Week describing the imperatives for small business to engage in social media marketing. Here are some of the highlights:
1) Social media is new but it's not going away. It's a valuable new extension of traditional business communication. Jump aboard!
2) Your competition is going to be doing it, if they aren't already. You need to make a start and take the time to learn it, now!
3) For many small business owners, social media is an excellent way for virtual networking, providing a highly-efficient method for finding new customers and business contacts.
4) Social media is highly-customizable to fit your business needs. It's not just about getting a Facebook page. There is no cut-and-paste blanket strategy. Tailor to your existing communication strategy and customer needs.
5) Take a slow, strategic, approach. Before you begin, take some time to learn. See what's out there. Monitor activity. Listen before you start engaging. Set aside at least 10 minutes a day to read and become familiar with your options.
6) Set up RSS news feeds to help you define your strategy and learn about what's going on.
7) Setting up social media initiatives takes time, but keep an eye on the long-term costs-savings. A highly cost-effective way to go to market compared to traditional media.
8) Take advantage of short-cuts and automated systems. There are many free applications to help you work more efficiently once you get started.

Your website is NOT a strategy
Jun 30th
My theme this week is "strategy" and I would like to examine one of the biggest strategy-related problems I encounter with clients.
Last week I was approached by a man who wanted me to help re-position his company's ineffective website.
I asked him if he had a marketing strategy and he said, "no." And, after telling me that he didn't have strong data on his customer base and couldn't name how he was differentiating his product, it was clear that he didn't.
When I suggested that he step back and do some work on a marketing strategy BEFORE plowing money into a website, he resisted … "No," he said, "We just want a website."
Now I ask you – If your website isn't working now, how will it be working any better if you don't revise the strategy behind it?
Ladies and gentleman, your website is NOT your marketing strategy. If you can't communicate what you do and what customer needs and wants you serve, you're probably wasting a lot of advertising money. Every business – no matter how small – needs a marketing strategy BEFORE they have a website!
What do you think? Have you had similar experiences? What happens when a website goes live without a strategy?
Lessons from a marketing strategy gone wrong (mine!)
Jun 29th
The theme for the blog this week is "strategy" and the first thing I needed to do is turn the microscope on myself.
It's ugly. I have not been following my own rules … but let's see what you might learn from my mistakes.
Something I have preached relentlessly: When you start a social media strategy, it needs to be integrated into your overall business objectives … which hopefully are aligned with customer wants and needs. Remember, social marketing is still MARKETING. Same fundamental rules apply.
My traditional core business is providing low-cost marketing services to businesses in the Southeast U.S. When I started this blog a few months ago, I had that objective and those customers firmly in mind. But then it all went wrong.
Here's what's happened:
- Over time I have been writing less about small business marketing fundamentals, and more about B2B and social media. It's what's interesting to me right now, so I went with it!
- The people who read my blog and follow my tweets now come from all over the world — relatively few from my core market.
- Based on my social media presence, including the blog, Twitter, and my web page, I am getting new customers from California, Switzerland and Australia — not what I originally had in mind.
In a matter of weeks, my core business competency and customer base changed dramatically, because my message and audience changed dramatically. Isn't that interesting? I wasn't consistent and now I'm challenged to match my STRATEGY to my inconsistent MESSAGE!!
How did this happen? I lost sight of my core mission because writing the blog became so much fun. I wasn't "marketing." I was being me. And it worked out fine. I didn't choose my audience. My audience chose me.
What did I learn? Perhaps in social media, "being me" IS the strategy.
A great example of B2B social media marketing
Jun 27th
Two weeks ago I named GE as one of the Top 5 B2B superstars utilizing social media marketing strategies. Yesterdays' announcement on a new R&D Center in Michigan and 1,200 new jobs is a wonderful illustration of why they earned this honor.
1) An "announcement about the announcement" was broadcast over the GEreports website, blog, Twitter and Facebook.
2) By simply clicking on a link within a tweet, you could access a real-time, live, HD news feed from Michigan featuring CEO Jeff Immelt and Michigan government officials.
3) Follow-up reports of the speech were available on all social media channels and a subsequent Immelt speech to the Detroit Economic Club were available immediately. A video of the speech is featured on the GEreports website.
4) A video describing the new research center was available the same day on YouTube. An interview with the GE research director explained what would be happening at the facility. It had already received 308 views in the first day.
OK, that is impressive, but if you need any further convincing, here's the icing on the cake.
Obviously this announcement spurred a lot of interest and excitement, but not all of the reactions were positive. GE has the foresight and courage to host an open dialogue in their onsite commentary, including comments like: "With your speech today regarding Research Center $100 million manufacturing technology center … GE stock went down today. Jeff NO ONE BELIEVES YOU ANY MORE!!!"
That's an ouch. But a key to social media success is being willing to turn the dialogue over to the community and GE is doing it.
Last week the GE social media team agreed to an interview about their social media strategy and I'm hoping this will be posted on {grow} this week. Stay tuned for an inside view of a major B2B social media success story!

If you have a car, the location is good, outside the city of Agrigento (which had a surprisingly chaotic traffic and no parking spots), but close to Scala dei Turchi and Valle dei Templi, the main attractions in the region. Installations were ok. The staff was attentious and really kind to change our reservation when we had to change plans!

Aspendus: ancient city in southern Turkey, best known for its well-preserved theater.
During the Roman occupation, the town became an important center of the trade in salt, oil, corn, wine, and horses. The ruins we can visit today, date from this period.
The agora (market place) is the site of one of the strangest stories from Greek philosophy. The charismatic Pythagorean teacher Apollonius of Tyana, who had taken a vow of silence, was asked to put an end to a food shortage by an angry mob, that was about to kill one of the responsible magistrates. According to his biographer Philostratus, Apollonius wrote a letter to the grain merchants, threatening them with immediate death; they immediately repented.note[Philostratus, Life of Apollonius 1.15.] The story is no doubt apocryphal, but food shortages were common, and no doubt magistrates were never certain of their fate.The famous theater was built in 155 CE, the bouleuterion (town hall) is a bit younger, and the basilica on the agora was built in the third century. This building is more than 100 meters long and 25 meters wide: about the size of the basilica of a much larger city like Carthage. It was later converted into a church.

TAMPA, May 8, 2008 As controversy swirls about proper clinical use of opioids and other potent pain medications, research reported at the American Pain Society annual meeting shows that, contrary to widespread beliefs, less than 3 percent of patients with no history of drug abuse who are prescribed opioids for chronic pain will show signs of possible drug abuse or dependence.
In his plenary session address, Srinivasa Raja, MD, professor of anesthesiology, Johns Hopkins University Medical School, urged clinicians and policy makers not to allow the small percentage of abused pain prescriptions to prevent legitimate pain patients from getting the care they need.
Physicians today face a dilemma in trying to balance the needs of their patients with demands from society for better control of opioid medications. We also are dealing with unfounded accusations in the media that increased prescribing of opioids for severe chronic pain is responsible in large part for reported upswings in the abuse of pain medications, said Raja.
We do need stronger evidence about which patients will benefit most from these medications to help make better prescribing decisions, he added. But for most chronic pain patients, drugs are not the sole solution. More and more studies are showing that multi-faceted treatment involving physical and cognitive-behavioral therapies and appropriate interventional strategies lead to the most favorable outcomes.
According to Raja, the problem of prescription drug abuse can best be attacked and hopefully solved through collaborations involving care givers, regulatory and law enforcement agencies and the pharmaceutical industry.
First, I believe physicians should be diligent is communicating with their patients about the benefits and risks of opioids and also screen them for drug-seeking behavior and other warning signs of potential abuse, said Raja. Also, we must monitor patients carefully to dete

|It's simple--without The Cure, modern rock as we know it would not exist, and the irrefutable proof is all right here in their new collection, Greatest Hits. In a career spanning more than twenty years, The Cure have sold over 28 million albums and influenced countless other artists. Unconfined by trends, they have continued to flourish, creating and exploring haunting pop sounds and strange emotional spaces.

The Videos:
Acoustic Hits:
Editor's NoteFormed in the late 1970s, the Cure have been incredibly influential both culturally and musically. Evolving from a brooding goth band to an ensemble capable of wide ranging styles and emotions, Robert Smith and company have produced modern pop classics such as "Boys Don't Cry," "Inbetween Days," "Just Like Heaven," and "Lovesong." This greatest hits compilation includes innovative music videos of their best known songs from the band's long and prolific career. The release also features two previously unreleased songs, "Cut Here" and "Just Say Yes," along with acoustic performances and bonus videos.

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
(This is an already answered, old question.. but just for the record :)
I was inspired by Yang's script, and came up with this small tool, named memusg. I simply increased the sampling rate to 0.1 to handle much short living processes. Instead of monitoring a single process, I made it measure rss sum of the process group. (Yeah, I write lots of separate programs that work together) It currently works on Mac OS X and Linux. The usage had to be similar to that of
memusg ls -alR / >/dev/null
It only shows the peak for the moment, but I'm interested in slight extensions for recording other (rough) statistics.
It's good to have such simple tool for just taking a look before we start any serious profiling.
[Edit: well, this looked useful at first but always seems to return 0]
Looks like
$ /usr/bin/time -v ls / .... Command being timed: "ls /" User time (seconds): 0.00 System time (seconds): 0.01 Percent of CPU this job got: 250% Elapsed (wall clock) time (h:mm:ss or m:ss): 0:00.00 Average shared text size (kbytes): 0 Average unshared data size (kbytes): 0 Average stack size (kbytes): 0 Average total size (kbytes): 0 Maximum resident set size (kbytes): 0 Average resident set size (kbytes): 0 Major (requiring I/O) page faults: 0 Minor (reclaiming a frame) page faults: 315 Voluntary context switches: 2 Involuntary context switches: 0 Swaps: 0 File system inputs: 0 File system outputs: 0 Socket messages sent: 0 Socket messages received: 0 Signals delivered: 0 Page size (bytes): 4096 Exit status: 0
Valgrind one-liner:
Note use of --pages-as-heap to measure all memory in a process. More info here: http://valgrind.org/docs/manual/ms-manual.html
If the process runs for at least a couple seconds, then you can use the following bash script, which will run the given command line then print to stderr the peak RSS (substitute for
/usr/bin/time maybe does what you want, actually. Something like.
/usr/bin/time --format='(%Xtext+%Ddata %Mmax)'
See time(1) for details...
Well, if you really want to show the memory peak and some more in-depth statistics i recommend using a profiler such as valgrind. A nice valgrind front-end is alleyoop.
Perhaps (gnu) time(1) already does what you want. For instance:
But other profiling tools may give more accurate results depending on what you are looking for.
You can use a tool like Valgrind to do this.
Here is (based on the other answers) a very simple script that watches an already running process. You just run it with the pid of the process you want to watch as the argument:
Example usage:

A Rensselaer man is scheduled to be sentenced today on rape charges.
John Halacy was the focus of a public outcry last year when a paperwork mistake in the District Attorney's office forced them to reduce rape charges to a misdemeanor.
On Tuesday, John Halacy is expected to receive 4 years in prison.
Halacy is already serving a prison sentence for a home burglary in Colonie committed a short time after the 24-year-old got out of jail on the reduced charges.

Unruly plane passenger sentenced to probation
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (AP) - A plane passenger accused of unruly behavior that caused a plane to be diverted has pleaded guilty to three related charges.
Matthew Kleindorfer of Las Vegas was aboard a SkyWest Airlines flight from Helena, Mont., to Salt Lake City May 2 when it was diverted to Idaho Falls.
Authorities say the pilot made the unscheduled landing after Kleindorfer pounded on the cockpit door, and said he was a space alien and wanted to fly the plane.
The 32-year-old man pleaded guilty in court Wednesday to misdemeanor counts of battery, resisting arrest, and disturbing the peace.
The court suspended a one-year jail term and ordered him to serve two years probation.

Arab American National MuseumRead MoreLocated in Detroit's Cultural Center, the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History is one of the world's largest institutions dedicated to the African-American experience. Covering 120,000 square feet, the museum houses five rotating exhibitions, including Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing: How the Apollo Theater Shaped American Entertainment, and five permanent exhibitions, such as the 22,000-square-foot core exhibit And Still We Rise: Our Journey Through African American History and Culture. Also at the museum are the Louise Lovett Wright Library & Archives and the Ford Rotunda, which boasts a 55-foot-high glass dome that dumps artificial snow when shaken by giants.13624 Michigan AveDearborn, MI US
The Henry Ford MuseumRead MoreAbout 20 minutes from downtown, this museum houses Ford's vast collection of Americana. Among the artifacts are presidential limousines (including Thomas Edison's horse-drawn buggy), an extensive auto collection, the prototype of a futuristic house from 1946, and the actual bus where Rosa Parks made Civil Rights history.20900 Oakwood Blvd.Dearborn, MI US
Detroit Historical MuseumRead MoreOn November 19, 1928, the Detroit Historical Society opened the Detroit Historical Museum in a one-room suite on the 23rd floor of the Barlum Tower, earning it the nickname of highest museum in the world. These days, Detroit?s Cultural Center accommodates the museum in an 80,000-square-foot space, where interactive exhibits preserve more than 300 years of city history. Frontiers to Factories traces Detroit's transformation from French-frontier outpost to industrial city, while America's Motor City celebrates its automotive dominance with a changing display of classic vehicles and a 1903 Model T that guests can sit in. Streets of Old Detroit brings the 19th century to life with recreated cobblestone streets that wind past stores of the era such as a five-and-dime, a soda shop, and a barbershop for powdered wigs. Thanks to recent renovations, the society has expanded its chronicle of Detroit with three new permanent exhibitions. Detroit: The Arsenal of Democracy covers the ways the city's industrial infrastructure adapted to demands of World War II, and The Gallery of Innovation includes videos about renowned innovators and hands-on activities involving trial and error. As The Allesee Gallery of Culture examines the city's cultural history, its Kid Rock Music Lab lets visitors create and share their own music using interactive displays. Outside, the Detroit Legends Plaza honors the city's sports, entertainment, and media legends with cemented handprints and signatures from stars such as Lily Tomlin and Martha Reeves.5401 Woodward AveDetroit, MI US
Motown Historical MuseumRead MorePerhaps the Motown Museum's most interesting artifact is the museum itself. The unassuming, two-story house doubled as Berry Gordy's original recording studio and administrative offices, where the likes of Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and Gladys Knight created more than 100 Top-10 hits. Visitors can tour the original control room and Studio A before perusing rare photos and singing along in the famous echo chamber.2648 W Grand BlvdDetroit, MI US
SemsegRead MoreSemSeg's Segway experts equip urban explorers to cruise through Detroit at up to 12.5 miles per hour during self-guided tours. A brief orientation covers proper techniques for turning, stopping, and impromptu jousting. Then, motorists hop aboard scooters and travel up to 24 miles on a single charge. The long battery life allows motorists to cruise down the Riverfront, circle 14-acre Hart Plaza, and crisscross the Rivard Plaza in a single trip. Though SemSeg encourages DIY tours, their guides lead weekend tours through downtown and down the Riverwalk.1938 Franklin StreetDetroit, MI US
Detroit Science CenterRead MoreIn these hands-on exhibits, kids can launch rockets, cross an 80-foot replica of Mackinac Bridge, and stargaze in a planetarium. Kids Town, a special area for kids 5 and under, enables tiny visitors to role-play as a veterinarian or diner owner in a child-sized town.5020 John R StreetDetroit, MI US

Gallery: Philadelphia Parking Lot Transformed into Urban Cycling Oasis
As bike commuting becomes more popular, facilities where you can store your bike, extra clothes and even take a shower will become a necessity. These bike facilities could even possibly replace parking lots, which is exactly what Annie Scheel proposes with her BIKE center for Philadelphia. Scheel took home first prize in a recent competition hosted by the Delaware Valley Green Building Council with her stellar all-in-one bike facility and master plan that gives urban bikers a place of their own in the city. While the parking lot has capacity for 100 cars, the bike storage facility could hold up to 690 bikes on four levels, which if fully utilized would significantly reduce automobile congestion in the city — not to mention pollution.

A bike oasis for Philadelphia would be great. I think that several smaller locations dispersed throughout the city might be even better than one huge venue, but that location at 13th and Market would be a good one – especially once the new convention center is finished. It might even revive the dated Market East shopping area.
Bike sharing would also be fantastic. The William Penn foundation has suggested 20 sites to start the program, and now it is up to Mayor Nutter's council to make it happen. You can find out a lot more about the program's progression at http://bikesharephiladelphia.org/news/

Sounds like a great idea for Philly!
I just published an in-depth interview with B-Cycle CMO Andrew Davison on my blog, Bikeway Central.
Thought your readers might be interested in an inside look at the biggest and most ambitious bike sharing program in the United States – http://www.bikewaycentral.com/2010/06/interview-andrew-davison-b-cycle-cmo-on.html

Only the Best Infographics
As a writer, you likely practice your craft without really thinking about how the process of writing affects your brain. However, it is pretty fascinating the way that our brains are hardwired to interpret the written word. You might not realize how much of an effect that reading and writing has on the brain, or what is happening in the brain as you write down a story or read a novel. In order to improve your writing skills, it's helpful to know how writing and reading work in the human brain so that you can create written content that will have the most effect on the reader.
Check out this intriguing infographic to learn more about the connection between writing and the brain. It just might give you some insight into how you can become a better and more effective writer and understand how your stories affect your readers.
Many scientists have done studies on how we understand reading and writing, with some pretty interesting results. They have found out about why stories help us remember information better than lists of facts and how our brains react to descriptive passages.
They have even discovered the scientific why clichés are so boring and should be avoided in writing. It turns out that our brains become de-sensitized to metaphors and sensory language that are used too often and these phrases no longer produce the same reaction in the brain. That is why being original is so important in your writing.
Ian Arnison-Phillips is a writer who believes that when guest blogging, it is important to focus on your craft and how your brain interprets the written word to create interesting material.

I wish you had cited the sources of this information. Is there anyway you could post them too?
We did cite the source. The source requested a link here: http://applecopywriting.co.uk/writing-services/guest-blogging/
I think this would be fun to post in the classroom, but I'd like to give credit with a citation–or possibly seek permission. Do you have the original source?
Ian, Thanks for excellent piece.
Some of us remember having to write out sentences as a form of discipline in grade school. "I will not interrupt while teacher Is speaking." Forget the humiliation. Jotting that 100 times left no room for confusion as to why you were in trouble.
Teachers understood the powerful impression it would make in the brain.
Even now, fledgling writers learn the nuances of their craft by copying out the works of great authors. It forces the mind to slow down and observe. Happy Thanksgiving!
Is there a way to have this printed for my classrooms? Or can you post the info so I can proper cite this!
When writing anything, I create odd patterns of how conveying my thoughts will affect the reader,as far as to considering general facts,gimmicks, personalities, how my content will be welcomed by him, but to explain this whole process would be troublesome.Reading this I find i'm not the only one who does this.

Is there a way to map the function keys on a mac keyboard for a VM running MS Server 2003 under VMWare Fusion on OSX?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Super User is a question and answer site for computer enthusiasts and power users. It's 100% free, no registration required.
In VMWare Fusion 2 you can map the keys once you have the VMWare Tools installed on Windows Server 2003. I used this up until about 3 months ago and never had a problem mapping any of the keys. VMWare Fusion does this better then Parrallels, unfortunatly the way they do Coherance does not work well for me.

Originally written on NFL Trade Rumors | Last updated 12/17/12
According to ESPNвАЩs Adam Schefter, the Jets may end up starting recently acquired WR¬†Braylon Edwards against the Titans. вАЬTells you a little bit about where this wide receiver corps is right now,вАЭ said Schefter. Schefter adds that the¬†situation and overall field position will likely impact whether or not Edwards starts, but it seems like theyвАЩre willing to get him involved right away, despite the fact that heвАЩs still dealing with a hamstring injury to some degree. Edwards is only 29 and spent time with the team a few years ago, but itвАЩs just hard to assume that heвАЩll be able to be an impact player for them. ThereвАЩs always a chance, but I guess weвАЩll just have to see how things go.

Chaotic Neutral
Common, Elven, Aklo*
He tends to be quite somber, rarely smiling, let alone laughing – he also has a habit of staring at people just longer than is comfortable, and compulsively checks the time on his silver pocket-watch every few minutes.
His early years were filled with laughter and music, and his first playground was backstage amongst the discarded scenery, where he dreamed of strange worlds, and tales where he was the hero, and always rescued the damsel in distress.
However, all of that changed one day, when his mother was killed in a freak accident; no-one was ever able to explain why the rope on the set failed, or why his mother was standing in just the right spot to be crushed…
Afterwards, his father became quite withdrawn and morose, taking only a distracted interest in his son, and dealt with his pain by producing a series of truly soul-scouring Tragedies for the stage. For his part, Tyrrol was never able to come to terms with his mother's death. He sought, in vain, for some tangible reason why she should have been so cruelly taken away from him.
Ultimately, he realised that there was no reason; it was simple another random act of cruelty in an uncaring universe. As a result, Tyrrol became obsessed with Fate, and the forces of Entropy; unsurprisingly, when he first caught wind of it in some moldy scrolls describing the Boneyard, he was drawn to the doctrine of the Lord of the End Times like a moth to the flame. He subsequently became fixated on collecting relics imbued by Groetus, hoping that through the tools of the God of Oblivion, he can gain an understanding of the vicissitudes of fate, and gain some measure of peace.
At present, he has ended-up in Riddleport, a wretched hive of scum and villainy, hoping to find what he is looking for amidst the dregs of humanity...

Benefit: You gain a +1 trait bonus to Armor Class when wearing medium or heavy armor.
You were born with a strange birthmark that looks very similar to the holy symbol of the god you chose to worship later in life.
Benefit: This birthmark can serve you as a divine focus for casting spells, and as a physical manifestation of your faith, and it increases your devotion to your god. You gain a +2 trait bonus on all saving throws against charm and compulsion effects.
Celestial Resistance:
Aasimars have acid resistance 5, cold resistance 5, and electricity resistance 5.
There are some aasimars whose language transcends all boundaries. They gain a +2 bonus on Linguistics and Sense Motive checks, and they learn two languages each time they gain a rank in Linguistics. This racial trait replaces skilled.
Scion of Humanity:
Some aasimars' heavenly ancestry is extremely distant. An aasimar with this racial trait counts as an outsider (native) and a humanoid (human) for any effect related to race, including feat prerequisites and spells that affect humanoids. She can pass for human without using the Disguise skill. This racial trait replaces the Celestial language and alters the native subtype.
Spell-Like Ability (Sp):
Angel-blooded aasimars can use Alter Self once per day as a spell-like ability (caster level equal to the aasimar's class level).
Shattering Strike (Ex):
At 2nd level, a two-handed fighter gains a +1 bonus to CMB and CMD on sunder attempts and on damage rolls made against objects. These bonuses increase by +1 for every four levels beyond 2nd.
This ability replaces Bravery.
Overhand Chop (Ex):
At 3rd level, when a two-handed fighter makes a single attack (with the attack action or a charge) with a two-handed weapon, he adds double his Strength bonus on damage rolls.
This ability replaces Armor Training 1.
Crowd Control (Ex):
At 1st level, an urban barbarian gains a +1 bonus on attack rolls and a +1 dodge bonus to AC when adjacent to two or more enemies. In addition, her movement is not impeded by crowds, and she gains a bonus equal to 1/2 her barbarian level on Intimidate checks to influence crowds.
This ability replaces fast movement.
Controlled Rage (Ex):
When an urban barbarian rages, instead of making a normal rage she may apply a +4 morale bonus to her Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution. This bonus increases to +6 when she gains greater rage and +8 when she gains mighty rage. She may apply the full bonus to one ability score or may split the bonus between several scores in increments of +2. When using a controlled rage, an urban barbarian gains no bonus on Will saves, takes no penalties to AC, and can still use Intelligence-, Dexterity-, and Charisma-based skills. This ability otherwise follows the normal rules for rage.
Favored Enemy(Elf) (Ex):
At 1st level, a ranger selects a creature type from the ranger favored enemies table. He gains a +2 bonus on Bluff, Knowledge, Perception, Sense Motive, and Survival checks against creatures of his selected type. Likewise, he gets a +2 bonus on weapon attack and damage rolls against them. A ranger may make Knowledge skill checks untrained when attempting to identify these creatures.
Track (Ex):
A ranger adds half his level (minimum 1) to Survival skill checks made to follow tracks.
Improved Tracking (Ex):
At 1st level, a trophy hunter gains a +2 bonus on Survival skill checks when following or identifying tracks. When he tracks, he can also attempt a Knowledge (nature) check at DC 15. On a success, the trophy hunter can discern the type and condition of any animals or magical beasts he tracks. By studying their tracks, the trophy hunter is able to identify a rough approximation of their health, maneuverability, and their general behavior as compared to the norm.
This ability replaces wild empathy.

Time trends in leisure time physical activity and physical fitness in elderly people: 20 year follow-up of the Spanish population national health survey (1987-2006)
1 Department of Health Science II, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Madrid, Spain
2 Preventive Medicine and Public Health Teaching and Research Unit, Department of Health Sciences, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Madrid, Spain

BMC Public Health 2011, 11:799 doi:10.1186/1471-2458-11-799Published: 13 October 2011
To estimate trends in leisure time physical activity and physical fitness between 1987-2006 in older Spanish people.
We analyzed data collected from the Spanish National Health Surveys conducted in 1987 (n = 29,647), 1993 (n = 20,707), 1995-1997 (n = 12,800), 2001 (n = 21,058), 2003 (n = 21,650), and 2006 (n = 29,478). The number of subjects aged ≥ 65 years included in the current study was 29,263 (1987: n = 4,958-16.7%; 1993: n = 3,751-17.8%; 1995-97: n = 2,229-17.4%; 2001: n = 4,356-20.7%; 2003: 6,134-28.3%; 2006: 7,835-26.5%). Main variables included leisure-time physical activity and physical fitness. We analyzed socio-demographic characteristics, self-rated health status, lifestyle habit and co-morbid conditions using multivariate logistic regression models.
Women exhibited lower prevalence of leisure time physical activity and physical fitness compared to men (P < 0.05). The multivariate analysis for time trends found that practising leisure time physical activity increased from 1987 to 2006 (P < 0.001). Variables associated with a lower likelihood of practicing leisure time physical activity were: age ≥ 80 years old, ≥ 2 co-morbid chronic conditions, and obesity. Variables associated with lower physical fitness included: age ≥ 80 years, worse self rated health; ≥ 2 medications (only for walking), and obesity.
We found an increase in leisure time physical activity in the older Spanish population. Older age, married status, co-morbid conditions, obesity, and worse self-perceived health status were associated with lower activity. Identification of these factors can help to identify individuals at risk for physical inactivity.

I am a special education teacher for children with Autism. I absolutely love what I do and I am very passionate about it. I just did the Polar Plunge to raise money for the Special Olympics, nothing like an ice cold dip in the middle of March! Working in such a female dominated profession make it a lot harder to meet people, so I thought I'd give this a try. I am a complete klutz, definitely not athletic but I'm pretty health conscious and keep myself in shape. I'm all for chasing some kids around the playground or hitting the gym though. I try to eat healthy as well. I definitely look for a healthy outlook in a guy as well. I absolutely love the city, if it was closer to work I'd move there in a heartbeat. It is awesome having so many options right around the corner. I can always find something new and different to do. Plus is doesn't hurt that there are a few decent beaches to hit in the summer.

Harmonizer Vacuum Multi-Tool -- It ain't your Daddy's Twinmax
View Single Post
not saying what I mean
Joined: May 2007
Location: The City that Care Forgot
Oddometer: 634
tempting... All reference is to a 2004 bmw r1150r.
I am using my homemade 6' manometer w automatic tranny fluid. Very sensitive, but takes a little while to do well and with the heat buildup the vacuum tubes can try to collapse. They can succeed.
I would be interested to hear from people who formerly used a homemade manometer. Is the Harmonizer as sensitive to get right on? Does it make life easier?
This device does not eliminate the need for cable high speed adjustment, does it?
How does one adjust on the road, or do you only get a reading on the road?
Sorry for the noob questions, but with the fluid manometer, obviously you cannot ride with it, and the routine was idle adjustment with BBAS and then high speed adj with the cable adj.
Thanks for any insight.

Reds with only warning track power tonight. Fudge. Seriously.

Recently the Reds have scoreed runs with homeruns have not hit one the past 2 games...crazy.

that 0-2 waste pitch screwed up his release point...i hate those high waste pitches..
1st pick of the 2022 baseball amateur draft
If the Reds have a team wOBA of .335 comprised of more slugging, it generally works out to score the same number of runs as a team of a .335 wOBA that has a much higher OBP. Your point about OPS has merit, because one point of OBP in OPS is not exactly the same as one point of SLG. But in wOBA, that's already taken into account so it doesn't matter where it comes from.
Here's an example.. in 2007 Kenny Lofton had a .367 OBP. From what you're saying, this is the kind of player you want the Reds to have. But guess what? His wOBA was .349. That means if Lofton had the same number of plate appearances as a perfectly-executed Stubbs/Heisey platoon, the Reds wouldn't be expected to score any more runs by having that high-OBP guy at the top of the order.
If you can find a leadoff guy that gets on base 38-40 percent of the time and has a little power to boot, believe me I'm all for that. Heck, I'm all for finding one guy that can have a .350 wOBA full-time, but my point is the production doesn't technically improve any.
"No matter how good you are, you're going to lose one-third of your games. No matter how bad you are you're going to win one-third of your games. It's the other third that makes the difference." ~Tommy Lasorda

Jim Murphy will use his keynote speech to Scottish Labour Conference today to demand the Scottish Football Association speaks out on the "human rights abuses" behind the 2022 World Cup.
The call comes 10 days before the East Renfrewshire MP travels to Qatar to meet construction workers.
"Next week I will travel to Qatar to meet some of the construction workers from Nepal and India building the infrastructure for the 2022 World Cup," he is expected to say. "The treatment of these workers is the ugly secret of the beautiful game. Some are tricked into travelling thousands of miles under false pretences. Too many have their passports confiscated, work without pay, suffer squalid conditions, work excessive hours, and deal with staggering levels of debt.
"These abuses aren't one-offs - Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch have all made clear that these problems are pretty widespread.
"Bill Shankly was wrong when he said, 'Some people believe football is a matter of life and death - I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.'
"The World Cup must not be built on the backs of the forced labour and lost lives of thousands of working people."

Steve Herbeck had a full-time job.
But unless he changed his ways, he was going to go broke.
"I was always trying to get out of work to go fishing," said the 54-year-old from the Madison area. "I had to do something."
That was in 1986. Fishing has been the full-time job since.
"It has allowed me to fulfill a life-long dream," Herbeck said. "And share experience and the knowledge I've accumulated over the many years with many tremendous wonderful people."
Herbeck has more than 30 years of experience on the water and has developed a reputation as an innovator and someone who consistently puts guests onto trophy fish. At the Sports Show, Herbeck will spill the secrets to success that are most often overlooked by anglers of all ages and skill levels, he said.
"In this day and age," Herbeck said, "there's so much fancy equipment available, sometimes people overlook the things that add up to the great big picture."
A great example, he said, was that people often put too much emphasis on their bait; it's not as important as most think. He also will emphasize the importance of experience.
"Despite all the information that's available to fisherman, despite the Internet age and the transfer of readily available information, nothing but nothing replaces real time on the water," Herbeck said. "The time on the water is what you gain experience with.
"Nothing in musky fishing is cut and dry. Learn to make judgments; learn to make intelligent judgments. Only time on the water will give you that."
Herbeck has put in his time.
At one point in his life, he was fishing 18 hours a day and was told he was a fanatic. Call him crazy if you want, but his methods have worked.
He is a two-time Wisconsin state musky champion, catching two fish heavier than 43 pounds; has guided guests on Eagle Lake in Ontario to nearly 30 muskies heavier than 40 pounds; and was a successful musky guide in Vilas County for several years.
He also invented the "Herbie Rig" and is a veteran seminar speaker, although this will be his first appearance at the Journal Sentinel show.
"I've been instrumental in helping many bait companies perfect their musky baits," Herbeck said. "(The Herbie Rig) changed the concept of live-bait fishing."
For the past 15 years, Herbeck has spent seven months of the year running the Andy Myers Lodge in Vermillion Bay, Ontario, near Eagle Lake, about 3½ hours north of International Falls, Minn. It is considered one of the premier musky fishing resorts in North America.
He spends the rest of the year in southwestern Wisconsin.
Herbeck's first big catch came in 1987, when he hooked a 55-inch musky that weighed 43 pounds, 10 ounces. It was a great thrill, he said, and wants customers to have that experience.
"I'm just trying to open their minds a bit and realize that there's a lot of small things that add up quickly rather than worrying about the bigger things," Herbeck said.
Steve Herbeck will give a seminar on Trophy Muskies: The Small Things that Make a Big Difference at 3 p.m. Saturday.

34 year old woman | San Francisco, CA, USA | Seeking men 30-37 within 5 miles
You just never know until you give it a go :)
I'm pretty sure I'm going to win the lottery. Maybe it's just my optimistic personality, but I'm fairly certain it's going to happen. When it does happen, I'm going to travel the world for a year and write a fiction novel. In the meantime, my life is pretty good, so I can't really complain. I envision that a year and a half after I win the lottery, my life will look a lot like it does today. Aside from my love of creative writing, I enjoy reading, exercising (especially when it doesn't feel like exercising, e.g. hiking, yoga, walking the dog), cooking, and instigating impromptu dance parties. My therapy of choice is singing, and according to life's ironic principles, I was *not* gifted the voice of an angel. I volunteer my time and give to charity when I can, in hopes of scoring an angel's voice in my next life. If it were possible to earn a degree in neuroscience by watching TED talks and reading Malcolm Gladwell books, I'd have a PhD. People fascinate me, especially the ones with fantastic quirks. Real life is truly stranger than fiction, and I feel blessed to be able to experience all the peculiarities I can. In true Libra form, I'm a sucker for creating and enjoying a beautiful home. I have a wonderful group of friends that I spend a fair amount of time with, but nothing beats cooking a gorgeous meal at home and enjoying it with a glass of wine, warm lighting, and a sleeping dog at your feet. I worked for many years as a systems and software engineer before transitioning into product development, which is a much better fit for my personality and my equally split right-brain / left-brain mentality. I really enjoy what I do and I sometimes have to remind myself to walk away from the computer. Also in true Libra form, I believe in balance. My motto for the past several years has been "Jump off the cliff and build your wings on the way down", stolen with gratitude from Ray Bradbury. If you're feeling inspired to take a jump, drop me a line and tell me your personal motto, a silly story, or the next place on your travel or bucket list.

I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Dogs
I'd love to have a Boxer someday, but right now my wonderful Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is the perfect size for smaller abodes.
Some other viewpoint
I could move to Rome, Amsterdam, Nice, Munich, or London, I love those cities so much. Locally, I like a good low-key lounge like Burritt Room, but I also look forward to any opportunities to throw on a fancy dress and heels.
I love music of all kinds, especially jazz and electronic music. Californication, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Game of Thrones, and Sherlock Holmes (the BBC version) are some of my favorite shows. I'll read any book or story by Dean Koontz.
I just started re-reading Tori Amos' Piece by Piece. I'm fairly fascinated by the "Creative Process".

|The 2008 vintage of Mormoreto shows a luminous ruby red, deep and near-opaque, with purplish highlights at the rim. The nose, characteristically heady and insistent, opens to emphatic impressions of wild red berry fruit and spice, initially a complex mosaic of wild blackberry, blueberry, and dark cherry, plus dried plum and dates, further enriched with subtle notes of sweet violets and sweetbriar. These aromas are lifted by spicier notes of vanilla, cocoa powder, and roast espresso, interleaved with pungent nuances of balsam and chlorophyll. Fine-grained, silky tannins, already well inserted into the structure, contribute to the ultra-smooth mouthfeel and overall sensation of warmth, while its vibrant acidity adds to the exquisite balance of all of its components. The almost-endless finish is laced with tasty, aromatic fruit. A terrific patner with any long-cooked meat dish, such as marinades, pot roasts, and stews. Delicious with aged cheeses. Blend: 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot

If there's outrage today in the Congress over the silence on granting its leader the status of Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, the same party, when it had 415 MPs in the House, denied that very status to the party which came in second.
In 1984, the last time a single party secured a majority in Lok Sabha, the Congress had 415 MPs. The newly formed BJP was down to two MPs. It was another newly formed party, the Telugu Desam Party, which came in second with 30 MPs.
The Salary and Allowances of Leaders of Opposition in Parliament Act, which still forms the basis for recognition of the Leader of Opposition and provides for benefits and status, had been enacted in 1977 but no Leader of Opposition was appointed in 1984. P Upendra, the leader of the TDP in Lok Sabha who later went on to become a central minister, was never appointed Leader of Opposition. The Speaker was Congress veteran Balram Jakhar. Contacted by The Sunday Express, he said he couldn't recall "any trouble or issue over this matter, and whatever it was, must be a matter of record".
Subhash Kashyap, then secretary-general of Lok Sabha, recalls it clearly: "It would be a betrayal of confidences of several people, some of whom are now dead, but there were goings-on in the Speaker's chambers, when three people from the TDP walked in and asked for the post."
"They were told that it would not be possible as we operated on precedents in the House of Commons and that G V Mavalankar, India's first Speaker, had on the same basis of too-small-an-Opposition established such a precedent that Lok Sabha had not designated a Leader of Opposition till 1969."
"There was no fuss, no demand, nothing. They went away and P Upendra became leader of the parliamentary group and parliamentary party. He was accorded privileges and protocol, but never designated as Leader of Opposition," Kashyap said. With the start of the coalition era in 1989, things became complicated and the two-party House of Commons rule too simple to take recourse to because very often the single-largest parties were sitting in Opposition during the 1990s.
In 1989, Rajiv Gandhi's Congress party emerged as the single-largest with 195 members and he was recognised as Leader of Opposition. But after the BJP withdrew support to the National Front and Chandrashekhar was sworn in as Prime Minister — with outside support of the Congress, and deemed totally dependent on it — the BJP's appeal to get the post of Leader of Opposition was acceded to and the Congress was no longer seen as a party in Opposition. So, L K Advani was recognised as Leader of Opposition effective December 24, 1990.
The 1977 Act says nothing on any criterion that must be used to recognise an Opposition. But those supportive of the BJP view that the Congress does not make the cut now are citing directions by Speakers who have made "10 per cent of the strength of the House rule", …continued »
