Those of a nervous disposition may want to look away now, as Justin Bieber has been getting his bum out and we're about to show it to you.
Don't say you haven't been warned.
We're not really sure why, but Biebs decided to share this picture of himself pulling a moonie on Instagram yesterday.
And, perhaps more disturbingly, within seconds it had received 86,000 likes.
But JB - who split from Selena Gomez again earlier this month - obviously realised the rest of the world didn't really want or need to see just how cheeky he really is, and swiftly deleted the photo.
The Biebster is the current crown prince of pop - and it's a very brave person who says anything against the precocious pop moppet, because his army of "Beliebers" are swift to exact their vengeance.But that's exactly what that nice Scottt Mills from Radio 1 did after an unpleasant interview with an unfriendly Biebs.He said: "Someone needs to have a word with him. He's a precocious little brat."We're Team Scott all the way on this one! (Pic: PA)
And we could file Britters in exactly the same drawer as Li-Lo, although hopefully she's a little further along the road to recovery after her shocking meltdown in 2008.When we look back at early shots of Britney, like this one, it's brings home how precocious - in a slightly seedy and exploitative way - she was when she launched her pop career.She said she was "not that innocent" in her song and, despite what she said in interviews to the contrary, we all believed her. (Pic: PA)
OK, she might be a fully-grown woman now, but we remember when Charlotte Church was a fresh-faced, and rather precocious, young singing star.Not in a bad way of course. In fact we interviewed her when she was 12 and she was a delightful young lady.She was smarter, funnier and more engaging than most adult celebs we've met - so we'll always be on Team Charlotte. (Pic: PA)
Precocious doesn't always have to mean bad though - as the perfectly pleasant young Jaden Smith proves.The star of the Karate Kid remake may have had a little help getting the job from his famous dad, but he's undeniably talented and not at all a brat. (Pic: PA)
Same hair, different celebs! But at least Jedward have better dress sense than Ke$ha. Arf arf.We're not sure that the terrible twosome fit the usual meaning of precocious - since it's usually applied to people with a certain amount of talent.One thing we do know is that we won't get sued if we say they're definitely brats.Just kidding lads, we love you really. (Pic: PA)
They've not really made much of a splash over here yet, but the Jonas Brothers have been massive in the states for a few years now.The group started as a vehicle for Nick Jonas, who's been performing since the age of seven when he appeared in a Broadway play.They got their first real break as a band by appearing alongside the equally precocious Miley Cyrus in Disney's Hannah Montana - and later had a starring role in the same channel's Camp Rock.They're now as big as Jesus in the states - although they wouldn't dare say that. (Pic: PA)
And precocious doesn't always have to mean young either, as far as we're concerned. And we think Ke$ha proves our point nicely.The attention-seeking pop star might be 23 years old, but she's made a career out of acting like a spoilt teenager.We could go on... but just look at the photo and we think you'll get the picture. (Pic: PA)
Li-Lo might be making headlines for all the wrong reasons now that she's in her twenties, but rewind a decade or so and people were only talking about how talented she was.She hit the big time by starring in a series of family movies, culminating in an amazing turn in the classic teen comedy Mean Girls.Unfortunately it's only been downhill since - and that's the unhappy flipside for many precocious young child stars. (Pic: PA)
Speak of the devil. Here's the artist formerly known as Hannah Montana herself!Miley Cyrus has left her clean-cut Disney persona far, far behind her now though - and seems to have taken over from Pete Doherty as the most controversial star in celebland.Well, she was filmed sucking on a bong at her 18th birthday party anyway.Miley has also hit the headlines several times for wearing skimpy clothes (such as this side boob-revealing outfit), dirty dancing with older men and generally being rather precocious. (Pic: PA)
We regard Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen as the American version of Kevin the Teenager.But that's doing her a dis-service, because she could also be described as Courtney Love's mini-me.Whatever has caused the wannabe rock chick to cop such an attitude, we hope she gets it out her system soon because it's getting a bit tiresome now. (Pic: PA)
She's in her early 20s already, but to us there'll always be something of the precocious teenager about Peaches Geldof.With a failed marriage behind her already and a series of sex, drugs and daft comments scandals to her name she's always good value from a celeb journo's point of view.And her recent habit of posting pretentious comments about French philosophers on Twitter ups the precocious count nicely. (Pic: PA)
Now don't get us wrong, we're not having a go at four-year-old Suri Cruise - that would hardly be very fair - but you must admit it's a teeny tiny bit precocious to be wearing heels at that age.Rumours from the sets of her parents' films are that she can be a bit of a handful as well, and seems to be used to getting her own way.We will reserve judgement until we meet the young lady ourselves though. (Pic: PA)
Hair-whipping cutie Willow Smith is definitely giving big bro Jaden a run for his money in the precocious stakes.She's lined-up to play little orphan Annie in a remake of the, erm, classic musical - again produced by dad Will Smith.Still don't think she's precocious? Check out this quote: "I get my flow from Daddy, my singing ability from Mommy, and the camera stuff from both."Case closed. (Pic: PA)

CAMERON - In her 104 years on earth there isn't much Margaret Moninger hasn't seen, but last week she had another new experience - touring the new Cameron High School.
Moninger, who turns 105 on Monday, graduated from the original high school building in Cameron, then called Hilltop School, in 1927. She went on to receive her teaching certificate from then West Liberty State Teachers College and taught in one-room school houses for three years before getting married.
Originally from Mount Carmel, Pa., the family home was in walking distance to Woodruff, W.Va., where she could catch a train to Cameron. Since her brother, Anon, lived in Cameron, she moved in with his family so she could attend high school there. She trekked about a mile to class each day. The nearest Pennsylvania high school was too far to walk to - and she did not have transportation to get there.

''I remember a lot of these people,'' Moninger said while looking through an old graduation record book at the school. Moninger's name was among the 38 others in her class, neatly written in cursive.
Moninger was accompanied by her son, Calvin Moninger, and daughter, Shirley Zimmerman. Moninger took delight in looking at an old picture of the Hilltop School. She pointed out the location of her classroom on the first floor, noting there were three other rooms used in the two-story brick structure.
In addition to her classmates, she also remembered her teacher.
''She was a good teacher, but she was rough. You did what she said - you didn't get into anything,'' Moninger said.
During the tour, Moninger - who used only a cane to help get around and the new school's elevators to reach the second floor - was impressed with the structure and amazed by its size.
''It's very, very nice. I've never seen a school like this. If a child can't get an education here they probably can't get one,'' she said.
What Moninger said she likes best about the facility is that it is ''new.''
''It has things that I wanted to do, but didn't have,'' she said. ''I wanted to be a stenographer. Do they have that here?''
A number of Marshall County educators also took part in the tour, as did members of the chamber of commerce, Grand Vue Park officials and others. Assistant Superintendent Wayne Simms and Principal Jack Cain led the tour, providing details of the building's construction and what courses are offered. Since school was in session, the visitors got the chance to see some rooms in use.
Moninger was fascinated by the number of computers throughout the building, but noted she wished the library had more books in it. She uses her computer at home to play solitaire.
Zimmerman noted her mother doesn't watch TV unless the Pittsburgh Steelers are playing. Otherwise, she would rather read a book or a newspaper.
''I like to read most kinds of books. I read the Bible the most,'' Moninger said, adding she also likes comedic stories.
After eating a sandwich, green pepper soup and pie in the school cafeteria and chatting with others in the tour group, Moninger quipped that she enjoyed the school so much she was ''going to come here and live.'' And as for the secret to her longevity, it apparently will have to remain just that.
''I can't give that away,'' she said while smiling.
Moninger grew up on a farm in Mount Carmel with her three sisters and five brothers. There they raised cows, hogs, chickens and more.
''We played outside and we were all able to get along,'' she said. ''Anything that needed done we all helped. ... We raised just about everything needed to live on. And we had our own garden.''
Because the family was self-sufficient on its farm, Moninger said they barely noticed when the Great Depression hit in 1929.
''We had everything we needed,'' she said.
Entertainment, she noted, consisted of using one's imagination and taking long walks.
''We made dollhouses out of shoeboxes. And we cut dolls out of the Sears catalogue,'' Moninger said.
Moninger married her husband, Donley, in 1929. He passed away in 1995. They moved to his parents' home in New Freeport, Pa., to help care for them. And in 1933 they built a house next door, where Moninger continues to live today. Zimmerman helps take care of her and lives nearby.
New Freeport is about 16 miles from Cameron.
In addition to farming, her husband took various construction jobs to help make ends meet.
''He did just about anything to make a living,'' Moninger said.
Moninger's family is inviting people to an open house to celebrate her 105th birthday from 2-4 p.m. today at the Center Township Fire Department in Rogersville, Pa. No gifts are necessary.

Target Field taking shape
For years, Twins fans have traveled south to Kansas City to watch outdoor baseball. Next year, they will have outdoor baseball in Minnesota at Target Field. The Twins are working with Kansas City-based Populous (formerly HOK Sport Venue Event) on the project.
Last year, members of the Minnesota Twins front office came to Kansas City to see the CrownVision board as they gathered ideas for Target Field. Today, a contingent that included Royals media relations director Dave Holtzman, everyone's favorite royals.com beat writer Dick Kaegel (pictured below) and a crew from FOX Sports Kansas City got a sneak peek at baseball's newest stadium.
Special thanks to Dave for sending along these pictures. It looks like the Twins have a beautiful venue for outdoor baseball! Watch FSKC's pregame show on Wednesday for more on the new Target Field!

Orion StarBlast 80mm AutoTracker Refractor Telescope
This portable 80mm refractor telescope is ideal for astronomy buffs on-the-go, or for those looking for a compact telescope setup with precise automatic tracking abilities. Its 80mm (3.1") aperture and 350mm focal length (f/4.3) will provide nicely detailed views of brighter objects in the night sky, such as the Moon, bright planets, and a few distant deep space objects like sparkling star clusters and brighter nebulas. Once you've manually aimed the telescope at any celestial object, you'll be able to observe it for extended periods of time as the StarBlast AutoTracker Mount automatically tracks its apparent motion across the night sky.
The included 90° star diagonal provides a comfortable nighttime viewing angle, and two included 1.25" eyepieces (10mm and 25mm) let you survey the sky with two different magnifications (35x and 14x respectively). An Orion EZ Finder II reflex sight is included to help you easily aim the 80mm telescope. This tracking tabletop refractor tips the scales at just 11.4 lbs. when assembled, so it's easy to bring along on road-trips, camping adventures, and other outings.
After completing a simple alignment procedure, the Orion StarBlast AutoTracker Altazimuth Mount's internally housed motors rotate the mount and attached 80mm refractor telescope so the object you're observing will stay centered in the telescope eyepiece (astronomers call this "tracking"). This allows you to enjoy lengthy views of objects in the night sky without having to hassle with moving the telescope manually to keep the object centered. While the StarBlast 80mm AutoTracker Refractor Telescope will not locate objects for you (without the optional Orion Atlas/Sirius Computerized GoTo Hand Controller), it will precisely track any celestial object that has been manually located and centered in the eyepiece. With the luxury of precise automatic tracking, you can concentrate on observing night sky objects, instead of constantly reorienting your telescope as the target object drifts out of your telescope eyepiece's field-of-view. You'll be able to discern more subtle features and details of celestial objects as you relax at the eyepiece without having to worry about manually repositioning the telescope to keep the object in sight.
It's easy to align the StarBlast 80mm AutoTracker. All you have to do is level the mount using the built-in bubble-level and threaded risers on two of the mount feet, set your local latitude, and align the telescope to North. Once these simple steps have been completed, all you have to do is turn on the AutoTracker's power switch, and you'll be tracking the heavens automatically! Thanks to an adjustable dual-encoder clutch mechanism, you can aim the telescope manually without the tracking system losing its alignment.
In addition to automated tracking, the StarBlast 80mm AutoTracker Telescope also features camera cruising functionality. This allows you to attach a Canon DSLR camera to the Mount using an included L-bracket so you can easily take time-lapse photos, panoramic photos, and even capture snapshots at select positions as the AutoTracker moves the attached Canon DSLR camera. A Canon shutter-release cable is also included for added convenience.
Eight AA batteries are required for motorized operation of the StarBlast 80mm AutoTracker Refractor Telescope; or you can use an optional 12V, 2 amp power supply or AC Adapter (batteries and optional power supplies sold separately).
You can upgrade the StarBlast 80mm AutoTracker Refractor easily to add GoTo object location and pointing abilities by plugging in an optional Orion Atlas/Sirius Computerized GoTo Hand Controller (sold separately). The optional computerized handset converts the StarBlast 80mm AutoTracker Refractor into a full GoTo telescope that can automatically find objects in the sky for you!

Hi Guys!
Ever since the time I first saw Zimbra I got hooked and I finally got a chance to install it at a client site. I installed Beta2 on FC3 under XEN and after I figured out that you had to have a DNS server the server finally installed and is half-way working.
All my problems are related to the MTA subsystem. The status shows mta and antivirus/antispam not running. MTA is in fact running though and seems to be working fine, except sometimes when messages (usually from the local domain to the local domain) seem to get stuck in the queue: Jan 11 09:57:08 ggimail postfix/lmtp[32146]: 43EFE512C2: to=<email@example.com>, relay=localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1], delay=1580, status=deferred (co
nversation with localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1] timed out while sending end of data -- message may be sent more than once)
Even though I turned off antivirus/antispam in the administration console, I get this message when starting:
How can I fix this, so that the status is correctly displayed? What could be the problem with local mail not being delivered correctly? This seems to result in dupes being delivered to the users.Quote:

Will upgrading to B3 solve all my problems? If so, is upgrading risky as in losing mail or other data or are you actually backward-compatible there? What type of backup would you recommend before upgrading so that I can get up and running again quickly?
I hope someone can help me on my way to get to know Zimbra better.
Thanks for the great product,

The voting is open.
Instead of Cy and Herky it should be Jack and Nile.
I don't understand 1. Why it has to have a real football. 2. Why it has to have corn all over it. Just write Iowa Corn Growers on the bottom.
I can't say I'm thrilled with any of them, but better than the last one.
#3. The other 2 are still pretty bad.
Actually I think the Mascot and the Corn trophies are better than the previous Cy-Hawk Trophy.
Mascot Trophy is pretty decent IMO.
why does a football need to be on there?
John Walters is my hero
While improved for the first trophy, all 3 options show a continued level of failure to communicate and overall failure to connect.
Yeah, I went with the 3rd one, I don't mind the Corn References. I think the 3rd one is subdued enough.
The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 5 characters.
Who ever does marketing over there needs to be fired.
These all suck...a third grade art class could come up with better concepts.
lol awful choices. just have a traveling combine and call it good
Number 2.
I don't like the look of Cy's eyes in the first one.
I think all three concepts are better than the last three trophies (the original, the farm family, and the interim).
As far as the question "why does it have to have a football?" Well, it doesn't have to have a football, but it is a football trophy - what do you want on there, a hockey puck?
And as far as the question "why does it have to have corn involved?" Well, it doesn't have to have corn, but first, corn is what the state of Iowa is best known for (worldwide), and second, the Iowa Corn Growers are sponsoring the trophy and are going to want input on the design, so corn is going to be involved in the theme. Don't like it? Then pony up millions of dollars to sponsor the trophy yourself and then you can pick the theme yourself.
Like I said, I'll take any of the three, but I voted for 2.

Town of Hempstead clerk told to vacate office
(Page 3 of 3)
But DiLuzio said he felt the town could have handled the situation differently. He suggested that Ra should have contacted him first rather than Bonilla so the confusion over state law could have been avoided and Bonilla would not have been forced to leave on short notice.
"That's not what they wanted to do," he said. "They wanted to humiliate him."
Susan Trenkle-Pokalsky, a town spokeswoman, said First Deputy Town Clerk Phil Guarnieri will assume Bonilla's duties until further notice.
Bonilla would have been up for reelection in November. The Republican clerk, however, did not receive his party's nomination. DiLuzio noted that he did not attend the nominating convention and did not expect to be nominated with his life being "completely on hold" because of the criminal case.
The town clerk provides many licenses, permits and certificates to town residents and business owners, conducts marriages and is the town's official record keeper.

 How can I can connect with my growing baby and also reduce stress?

 Pregnancy is wonderful time to experience your entire body systems, beyond just the thinking mind. Activities that are internally focused and multi-sensory can help you connect more with your baby. Try cutting and pasting images to make a collage for your baby, drawing your strongest image of birth, making a clay sculpture, and singing lullabies to settle the mind and connect your heart with your growing baby. __Pam England, CNM, author of Birthing From Within, (www.BirthingFromWithin.com) explains that in labor the brain hemispheres shift from the left brain, the rational, talking brain, to the right brain, the brain of color and sound. This change in the brain during labor optimizes the hormone excretions for mom and baby in labor. So, spending time getting your fingers dirty with pastels, playing with clay, gardening, making bread, singing are all tools that not only nurture your creativity but actively connect you with your baby and prepare your brain for birth.

 Why is stress reduction important during pregnancy?

 We naturally produce a stress hormone called cortisol, which we need in small amounts. But, too much cortisol is linked to preterm labor, which is rising at serious rates. Stress reduction practices help by connecting women more to their own body wisdom and can positively impact motherhood. Research finds that a consistent stress reduction practice in pregnancy naturally increases dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), melatonin, and serotonin for greater sleep; decreases stress hormones, anxieties, and fears; decreases blood pressure; and normalizes one's heart rate

 My doctor rushes through appointments and dismisses my questions. It's causing me stress. What can I do?

 It's important to evaluate whether you are philosophically aligned with your healthcare provider. Here's how:
 Pay attention. Note the manner in which you are treated, how your questions are answered or dismissed, and what you anxiety or empowerment level is when you leave your appointment.
 Consider all of your options. The OB/GYN you see for pap smears and well woman visits may not be the right person to be the care provider of your pregnancy, labor, and birth. Midwives and family doctors traditionally spend more time at prenatal visits, so this may be a better option if you're feeling rushed.
 Do your research. Think about how many houses you looked at before buying or how much investigation you did before getting a new car. Take that same level of detail and apply it toward your search for a care provider.

Would think it would have to be pretty good with us basically only going to have 1 "decent" non-conference win this year (BYU). Going to take 10-11 wins in Big 12 play? If so, we may be NIT bound.
Last edited by BigJCy; 12-07-2012 at 09:33 PM.
I would say 10 + one i the B12 tourney will get it done assuming we win out the rest of our OOC which is not guaranteed.
"Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."
Even assuming we don't lose to Drake, I think 11 absolute minimum. Probably 12, with at least one win over KU.

I agree, but 11-7 to be sure.

Very, very good. The 11 win crowd is probably spot on.
Kansas Must Be Destroyed
Sic Semper Jayhawks
10 wins in the Big 12 should get us a top 4 finish in the Big 12. Kansas is the only proven team in the conference right now and I think 2-8 is going to be a heck of a fight this year as no one really stands out right now. The cream will rise to the top by early Feb.
Go Cubs Go!
I don't think BYU will end up be good, so I would say 12 should do, I see us getting around 8, think we will be tough at home and bad on the road...
Minimum 11 wins I think. Should have 4 automatics with TCU and Tech twice. OU at home should be easy. Other than that.....going to be a scramble.
at least 10 wins
we went 0-3 in the 3 ooc games that wouldve looked decent on our resume in march
anything less than 10 and we dont deserve a bid with the big 12 looking worse than we thought itd be
We didn't beat anybody in the non-con last year, just like this year. Last year, we went 12-6 in conference, with three wins over top 10 teams in the country, and still got stuck in the 8/9 game. I don't think people realize how much having 6 games against Baylor/Mizzou/Kansas helped last season. So I'm not even sure we're safe at 11-7 this season, if those 11 are something along the lines of TCU/@TCU/TTU/@TTU/UT/@UT/WVU/OU/OSU/BU/KSU, because that's a pretty empty 11-7 with this conference, this season.

Get over the preseason weight. We finish top 4 or 5 in conf and we're dancing.
Fanatic #25
It will be easier this year since we broke the seal finally last year and represented ourselves well in the two games we played.
We'll get the benefit of the doubt this year IMO.

Michelle Obama to grow White House organic victory garden
ABC News has reported the Obamas are going to plant a vegetable garden at the White House*. The New York Times also announced that work on the organic garden will begin as early as tomorrow when Michelle Obama, accompanied by 23 fifth graders from Bancroft Elementary School in Washington, will begin digging up a section of the White House lawn to begin planting. Although the 1,100 square foot garden, set to be located in the south grounds, will be out of the main view of the house, it will still be visible to the public on E Street.

|2010 U.S. Census provides employment opportunity
|Written by Chris Lee
With the 2010 census kicking off, the U.S. Census Bureau is in the process of locating helpers to assist with gathering the necessary information of Holyoke and Phillips County residents.
Leo Mailander is a recruiting assistant in charge of finding applicants to help with the 2010 Census. Saturday, Jan. 23 at either 9 a.m. or 2 p.m. in the third floor meeting room of the Phillips County Courthouse is the last day for the application and testing process.
Applicants must provide a valid driver's license and their social security card. Mailander said a birth certificate will also work. Applicants will fill out an I-9 form to check for U.S. citizenship. Those interested should allow an hour and a half for the application and basic skills testing.
He also mentioned anyone who is fluent in both English and Spanish is encouraged to apply.
Those chosen to act as Census workers will be trained in Greeley before the Census date of April 1.
Mailander estimates the Census process will take 3-4 weeks if things go like they did in 2000.
Watch for scams during 2010 Census
The Better Business Bureau (BBB) advises people to be cooperative, but cautious, so as not to become a victim of fraud or identity theft.
Eventually, more than 140,000 U.S. Census workers will count every person in the United States and will gather information about every person living at each address including name, age, gender, race and other relevant data. The big question is, "how do you tell the difference between a U.S. Census worker and a con artist?"
The BBB offers the following advice:
—if a U.S. Census worker knocks on the door, they will have a badge, a handheld device, a Census Bureau canvas bag and a confidentiality notice. Ask to see their identification and their badge before answering their questions. However, one should never invite anyone they don't know into the home.
—census workers are currently only knocking on doors to verify address information. Do not give a social security number, credit card or banking information to anyone, even if they claim they need it for the U.S. Census.
—remember, no matter what they ask, one really only needs to tell them how many people live at the address.
—while the Census Bureau might ask for basic financial information such as a salary range, one doesn't have to answer anything at all about current financial situations. The Census Bureau will not ask for social security, bank account or credit card numbers, nor will employees solicit donations. Anyone asking for that information is not with the Census Bureau.
—the Census Bureau has decided not to work with Acorn on gathering this information. No Acorn worker should approach you saying he/she is with the Census Bureau.
Eventually Census workers may contact residents by telephone, mail or in person at home. However, the Census Bureau will not contact people by e-mail, so be on the lookout for e-mail scams impersonating the Census. Never click on a link or open any attachments in an e-mail that is supposedly from the U.S. Census Bureau.

Bike-share programs like this one in Chicago are very popular in major metro areas, but are quickly being found in smaller communities like Battle Creek, Lansing and other Michigan cities. The League is hosting a bike-tour in Detroit next month.
It's great to see so many Michigan communities starting various forms of bicycle-sharing programs. Plus, those who are starting them up are really excited about it. Under the subject line "Newest Cool Thing in Battle Creek," Battle Creek Mayor Susan Baldwin recently sent an email to the Michigan Municipal League staff letting us know about the bike-share program that just started in her community this week.
"Thought the MML might be interested in the new cool thing we have in Battle Creek – a bike-share station!" Baldwin wrote.And the League is excited as well. If you don't know, there are a variety of types of bike-share programs but in simplest terms it's a service in which bicycles are made available for shared use to individuals on a very short term basis.Having walkable, bike-able and overall pedestrian friendly-communities is one of the key placemaking assets the League has identified for making vibrant communities in the 21st Century. Practicing what we preach, the League is having a "Bike the DeQuindre Cut" mobile workshop for those who attend our 2013 Convention in Detroit next month (Sept 17-20). Learn more about our Convention and the mobile workshops here.John Lindenmayer, advocacy policy director for the League of Michigan Bicyclists, said Battle Creek joins a growing number of Michigan communities to start bicycle-sharing type programs. So far, in addition to Battle Creek, there are various forms of bike-sharing programs under way or getting started in Ann Arbor, Detroit, Ypsilanti and Escanaba/Gladstone, Lindenmayer said.Matt Bach is director of Media Relations for the Michigan Municipal League. He can be reached at 734-669-6317 and firstname.lastname@example.com.

by John Benutty, Senior Editor, Business Wire San Francisco
The secret is out – if you want to get noticed, your company must tap into the social media consciousness of our time.Consider the fact that we twenty- and early thirty-somethings – now an intricate part of the business and media fields – were in college when Facebook began, and we know the value of social media as if its playbook were written on our forearms. Young professionals tweet, post to walls, like, digg, bing, ping, blog, Google and forward more than anyone else, leaving the heartbeat of your news at the tips of our mouse-clicking fingers.
So how does your company tap into the ever-expanding atmosphere of social media? Is it possible to use it to your advantage within your Business Wire press release? Most certainly.
Step 1: Build your fan-base by adding social media links to your release
The easiest way to bridge the gap between social media and your news is to always include links to the places online where your company has a presence. In addition to including a link to your company's home page, include the URLs to your Facebook, Twitter and YouTube pages. Links provide easy access for those who receive your news to keep track of more than just your press releases – they'll fan your Facebook page, follow your Twitter feed and subscribe to your YouTube channel to stay up on all your latest announcements.
Here are a few places where these social media links make the most sense:
- as part of your boilerplate along with your company URL
- in a bulleted list (i.e., "Find Us Online") with a link to each site where your company has a media presence
- alongside your media/investor relations phone numbers and email addresses
Step 2: Keep your fan-base informed by re-posting and re-tweeting your release from BusinessWire.com
One of the many great things about distributing your news through Business Wire is the "Sharing" toolbar on your press release page. To the immediate left of every press release on BusinessWire.com is a list of social media links encouraging viewers to share the press release with their own friends, fans and followers. Seize this opportunity and share your news directly with your newly acquired fan-base. It goes without saying that the people you care most about reaching are the friends of your friends, so re-post and re-tweet your release to your fans, and let them share their excitement about your news with the people they know – from there, the distance your news can travel is boundless, so give it that first little tweet and let the diggs, bings and pings fall where they may.
With 32 bureaus around the world and more newsrooms than all of our competitors combined, Business Wire is proud to provide local expertise and superior service, backed by the most accurate editors in the world. In Editor's Corner, we ask some of our best to chime in on how to get the most out of your press release, based on their years of experience in the industry.

Is there a certain way to only apply for a point? I can't hunt there this year but would like to begin building points now.
Sorry for the rookie question.

I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life; I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well.
For the general combo tags or LE tags?
The only way to do this is to buy a general license then put in for a LE tag, not get it and request a refund for 80% of the general tag cost. Pretty spendy way to get a point, but you can't just buy them like WY. That route will cost you $195 ($826*20%+$9 LE tag+$20 bonus point fee).

MT is one I'm having a little trouble understanding as a FNG. I see where you can opt in for the point on the application but I'd rather not pay all that up front for several years.
This is a C&P from the MT FWP website
The Montana State Legislature established a preference point system to distribute "Class B-10" nonresident big game combination licenses and "Class B-11" nonresident deer combination licenses. In a preference point system, licenses are awarded to those applicants who hold the greatest number of preference points.
Purchasing Preference Points
Preference points for a nonresident big game or deer combination license may be purchased for a nonrefundable fee of $50. Preference points can be purchased:
•at the time of application for the nonresident combination license; or
•between July 1 and September 30 for individuals who did not apply for a nonresident big game license.
Applicants may purchase only one preference point per license year. Preference points purchased at the time of application are awarded prior to the drawing.
It makes it seem like I can buy points after the drawing for deer combination or big game combination lic only. Is that right, it sounds like this is new.
You can buy a preference point to get the big game combo, elk combination or deer combination. But not the bonus point for elk/deer limited areas. There have been leftovers for the combination licenses the last 2 years so it would be $50 down the drain. You must first have a combo license to enter the limited draws to gain a bonus point. Hope this helps clarify.
IMO if you dont have any points already its a waste of your money to start getting them. The better LE hunts have very low draw odds, and the general tags can all be had with no points now. Unless you plan to hunt on a general tag every year and want to apply for LE hunts because you will be using the general tag anyways I just dont think its worth it.
That is exceedingly helpful. So there are less than 4600 NR that want "combination" licenses each year? If so, it makes no sense to buy the points only. Maybe one or something the year before a group tries to go I guess so we can make sure we all get a license.
So you HAVE TO buy/put in for the "combination deer" lic to put in for the limited draws, right? Then, if you don't get drawn for the limited you can request a refund on your "combination" license and get the money back minus the "bonus point" fee, and that's the way to build points for the limited hunts. Is that right?
If so, that makes perfect sense and I'm not going to waste my money until I have years on end I COULD hunt if I got drawn for a limited area.
Since they raised the prices MT has had leftover combo's every year The deer only combo did sell out still at first but the last atleast 2 years it had leftovers too. These stats are not posted on their web site anywhere. IMO the price is to high for what they have to offer now with wolves in western MT and deer and antelope numbers down in eastern MT and it has turned alot of NR's away, myself being 1 of them and I have not hunted MT since the prices went up. I feel my money is much better spent in other states.
This thread has alot of MT info on it. http://www.eastmans.com/forum/showth...ut-Nov-weather
So if you do this just plan to hunt that year in the general areas instead of requesting the refund. I've never been to Montana but there has to be good hunting in the general areas for both deer and elk.
They have it set up that way intentionally I think to keep the limited draw areas from becoming impossible to draw and encouraging hunters to apply at least every few years so that their bonus points don't expire. (And to make money of course).

I live in a warm flat now and it would be impossible to keep highlanders here without any cooling unit. I keep them in the basement of my parents house, but the sundews did not grow well either. And since sundews are my favourites I built a small box with peltier cooling unit to have them with me. In principal, its just something like camping fridge with peltier module, but since i built it myself, the box was cheaper than the fridges i found on the internet. And of course, it was built for plant growing, so its proportions are adequate. And i must thank to all, who have built similar projects and posted them here as an ispiration
Cooling module: approx. 30 W and the LED lights 12 W, all running at 12 V.
Day: 22°C, thermostat on
Night: 13 - 15°C, thermostat off and the cooling module runs with short pauses (timer) all night
Space for plants: 24x24x17 cm (i believe, that peltier and led lights are good for such small application, but not for larger terrariums)
I thought, this might help someone with building such thing, so I am posting a few photos and can write any experience I have.
Overwiev (the styrofoam box i got in our lab)
The cooling unit (Peltier module with two aluminium radiators and two fans)
Lights (12 CREE cool white chips and 6 CREE warm white plus 4 cheap warm white leds, which will be replaced soon by Osram leds with better spectrum)
As you can see, it works. The plants look much better than before, most of them are growing in the box for about 3 months so far.

Guess what? That's my job. Like, my honest to goodness career.
The dessert was created by a local restaurant, and the ingredients paid homage to the Goo Goo Cluster. I've spent a good part of the past ten months working on publicity for the candy, which celebrates 100 years of incredibly sweet success this month.
My friend and colleague is my Goo Goo counterpart, and we've spent countless hours dreaming up ways to celebrate The Original Southern Confection's anniversary. Goodness, has it been fun - even though I may be carrying a few extra pounds of marshmallow nougat, fresh roasted peanuts, caramel and real milk chocolate around my midsection.
And when I'm not working? It's still a Goo Goo world as far as I'm concerned. In fact, I dreamed up an over-the-top dessert using my favorite brownie recipe and my favorite Goo Goo Cluster variety: Peanut Butter.
Peanut Butter Goo Goo Cluster Brownies
makes nine large or twelve small brownies
Ingredients:Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8 pan with parchment or wax paper, making an 'X' with two long pieces of the paper so it hangs over all four sides. Grease the paper with butter or spray. This will ensure easy removal of the bars once they've cooled by simply lifting the paper and transferring the bars to a cutting board.
3 eggs
2 cups packed dark brown sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 stick salted butter, melted
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
6 Peanut Butter Goo Goo Clusters
a couple pinches of flaked sea salt
3 eggs
2 cups packed dark brown sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 stick salted butter, melted
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
6 Peanut Butter Goo Goo Clusters
a couple pinches of flaked sea salt
Chop Peanut Butter Goo Goo Clusters into small pieces, place in a bowl and put in the freezer.
Mix the flour and cocoa powder in a medium size bowl & set aside.
Fit a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, and beat the eggs, brown sugar & vanilla on medium speed until thick and pale, 3-5 minutes. Slowly incorporate the butter.
Reduce whisk speed to low and slowly add the dry mixture, scraping down the sides of the bowl until fully combined. Stir in two-thirds of the chopped, chilled Goo Goos and pour batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining Goo Goos over the top of the brownie mix. Lightly sprinkle flaked sea salt over top.
Bake about 45-50 minutes until center is no longer jiggly and toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the brownies cool in the pan, then transfer to a cutting board by lifting all four sides of the paper.
They taste best after sitting in the refrigerator overnight. Cut into squares & serve.

Curious if there are any 264 believers on the site. Ive pondering the idea of liquidating my 270wsm to fund a barrel and revamp on my grandfathers old model 70 264wm (1965 acc. To the numbers) It was handed down a few years ago and has been collecting dust after a couple hundred bucks worth of ammo concluded the barrel was done in on it.
I realize the 270wsm and 264wm are very close as far as ballistics go. Just find myself going back and forth on the decision to part with the 270. Im a one gun kinda guy. Mostly bow hunt but threw in a couple rifle choices this season. I was curious of any pros or cons on both to push me over the edge on making the decision. Thanks in advance fellas!

The governor, his wife and lieutenant governor had a big party at the governor's mansion Tuesday evening.
It was in honor of Black History Month. The purpose was to honor the contributions of African-American community leaders, educators and students in Florida.
The event included music from a live band, lots of food and awards.
Three educators and three students all received awards for their accomplishments in the classroom.
"I won a full 4-year scholarship to any college/university in Florida...it was awesome getting to meet the Governor and the Lieutenant Governor and his wife," said Devon Robinson, who attends New Smyrna Beach High School in Volusia County.
Information about the contests and Florida's Black History Month is available on Florida's Black History Month website, www.FloridaBlackHistory.com.

Cyclones Go 2-1 In Round Robin Tournament
AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State volleyball team went 2-1 on Saturday with wins over Nebraska-Omaha and UNI, before falling to Minnesota. The Cyclones hosted the round-robin spring tournament in Hilton Coliseum.
It was all Iowa State in the first match of the day, as the Cyclones defeated Nebraksa-Omaha in a 3-0 sweep (25-15, 25-14, 15-8), led by redshirt freshman Morgan Kuhrt, who put up a team-high 13 kills while swinging at a .550 clip. Kuhrt also had two service aces in the match. Andie Malloy followed with nine kills, while redshirt freshman Natalie Vondrak had six kills and four blocks.
The Cyclone defense was the story of the the second match of the day, a three-set sweep of UNI (28-26, 25-17, 15-5), and Iowa State held the Panthers to just a .025 hitting percentage. Iowa State had eight team blocks in the match, including one solo block and four block assists for Vondrak and two solo blocks to go with two block assists for Malloy. Sophomore Mackenzie Bigbee led the Cyclones offensively with 12 kills on just 21 attempts.
Iowa State dropped its final match of the day in a back-and-forth battle with Minnesota, losing both sets (27-25, 28-26). Sophomore setter Jenelle Hudson did a little bit of everything for the Cyclones in the final match, registering 24 assists, a pair of service aces and two solo blocks to go with one block assist. Minnesota's Tori Dixon led all players with 16 kills and added two solo blocks and three block assists for the Gophers, who tallied 11 total blocks in the match.
The Cyclones will be back in action on April 20 when they travel to Minneapolis, Minn. to take part in a tournament at the University of Minnesota. Match times are TBA.

WASHINGTON - Congressional Democrats unveiled legislation Thursday to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines like those used in the school massacre at Newtown, Conn., even as they acknowledged an uphill battle getting the measures through a divided Congress.
The group led by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., called on the public to get behind their effort, saying that is the only way they will beat opposition from the National Rifle Association and congressional backers of the Second Amendment.
"This is really an uphill road. If anyone asked today, 'Can you win this?' the answer is, 'We don't know, it's so uphill,'" Feinstein said at a Capitol Hill press conference. "There is one great hope out there. And that is you, because you are stronger than the gun lobby. You are stronger than the gun manufacturers. But only if you stand up."
Article Photos
AP Photo
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif. speaks during a press conference on Capitol Hill on Thursday to introduce legislation on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition clips.
Feinstein's legislation comes a week after President Barack Obama unveiled a package of gun control measures including a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and it marks the start of tense congressional debate with no certain conclusion.
In addition to NRA opposition, Feinstein and her supporters must contend with the Republican-led House, where leaders have shown scant interest in gun measures. Perhaps even more daunting, fellow Democrats from rural states where voters strongly support gun rights have deep concerns about her measure.
Even Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has expressed skepticism the assault weapons ban could get through Congress. Some advocacy groups are focusing their attention instead on expanding background checks, which is seen as more doable politically.
Feinstein's legislation is written comprehensively to cover rifles, pistols and handguns with one of any military-style features like detachable stock, pistol grips or grenade launchers. It also bans 157 specific firearms, while excluding 2,258 hunting and sporting rifles and shotguns. And it bans magazines that accept more than 10 rounds.
Feinstein aimed to improve upon the previous assault weapons ban she authored, which expired in 2004 when Congress did not renew it. Original passage of that bill in 1994 was blamed for costing Democrats control of the House and Senate after they supported it. There's also considerable debate about its effectiveness during the years it was in effect, in part because of loopholes that allowed gun manufacturers to work around it. Feinstein's new version is more comprehensive in defining what kinds of weapons are banned.
The NRA responded that the new bill would infringe on the constitutional right to bear arms and that instead the focus should be on prosecuting criminals and improving the country's mental health system. "The American people know gun bans do not work, and we are confident Congress will reject Sen. Feinstein's wrong-headed approach," the NRA said in a statement.
Feinstein said those Democrats with concerns about the legislation needed to ask themselves what their silence would mean.
"Sandy Hook is more eloquent testimony than any of us could possibly give," she said. "If members of this body are so insensitive to what happened to those small bodies from that Bushmaster when it all becomes known, America is hopeless."
Even some of Feinstein's supporters believe the assault weapons ban is so unattainable politically that the focus should be on other measures that might even be more effective policy.
Vice President Joe Biden said Thursday that he's more concerned about limiting the number of rounds in a gun magazine than about banning assault weapons that account for a small percentage of gun deaths.
Biden argued that the shooter at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., could have been slowed down if he had fewer rounds in each magazine and had to change clips more often. "Maybe if it took longer, maybe one more kid would be alive," Biden said during an online video chat on Google Plus.
The vice president led a White House gun control task force in the wake of the Newtown shooting last month.
Biden is launching the White House's promotional tour on gun control Friday with a trip to Virginia, a state that has experienced its own school shooting tragedy yet maintains an avidly pro-gun tradition. His office said Biden will hold a round-table discussion in Richmond with experts who worked on gun safety following the 2007 shooting at Virginia Tech.

At star parties power may not be available. In that case you want a screen that will use the least amount of power unless you plan on bringing a big battery pack or a generator. A small flat screen will do well enough and will run for a long time with little power.
Posted 20 November 2012 - 05:01 PM
As Lorence said true portability is usually an issue of the power. Ideally for remote use you'd like a good quality LCD that will run off of 12v DC (so it can be battery powered) ... these however can get a bit pricey if you are just looking at portable LCD monitors. A less expensive solution are the LCD displays intended for remote gaming or DVD viewing in a car. The downside to many of these units is it can be a bit tough constantly accessing the menu to adjust brightness and contrast controls.
If power isn't an issue then you have quite a few choices.
"TV capabilities" is a bit vague. You don't care about TV tuner stuff, you just are looking for a direct video connection. An old portable TV can be a good inexpensive options as long as it has that direct video connection. As Jack mentioned a CRT based video monitor can also be a great option (I also have the Speco monitor he referenced).
About that video connection: The Mallincams have both a composite video and S-Video output. You'll find composite the most popular connection. It comes out of the Mallincam on a BNC connector and the most popular connection to the monitor is an RCA type of connector. For most folks and for the most flexibility the composite connection is the best bet. The S-Video option is slightly higher quality but it's getting harder and harder to find monitors and recorders with that interface.
Posted 20 November 2012 - 05:19 PM
It is waaay better than anything else I tried. I thought I had a poor quality camera before I used it. It is adjustable enough to 'dial in' the image, has enough bandwidth AND it's a CRT. It's the recommended monitor for a reason. Among the things I tried was a small 12V LCD and a 50" Plasma TV.
Posted 20 November 2012 - 06:58 PM
I have a Sony 9" portable DVD player that also has composite input. I use this monitor with its portable battery whenever I am outside and it works great, I pump the Svideo through a capture card to my pc in the house. I also have a LCD TV in the house and I can also switch the inputs and pump the Svideo to the TV ( with a 50ft Svideo cable). I have never seen the output on a Speco but I am plenty impressed with my mallincam as is, and I appreciate the portability and low cost AND dual function, after all it's a DVD player and my kids can watch videos in the car, so technically this was NOT a telescope accessory purchase which was a big plus from SWMBO's perspective.

In the field, I use a 'Digital Prism' 9" LCD TV. It isn't as nice as the Speco but is quite acceptable. It doesn't weigh 15 pounds or require 110 volts so it's much more practical for field use.

Was thinking of joining the astrovideo crew via the low end NTech cam but this thread cured me - another piece of expensive kit needed in TV monitor and no way I'd play with 220v mains TV outdoors in dewy UK :o I'll stick with my laptop screen with single cabled USB powered cam

In standard NTSC 4:3 format (if not stretched), the display resolution is 480x234. This is less optimal.
Some 9" LCD wide screen DVD Players with A/V (composite video) IN capability have 800x480 resolution. In NTSC mode (if screen not stretched), the resolution will be 600x480.
However, a common inconvenience is that there is no easy way to adjust brightness and contrast on these improvised "monitors". I.e., has to make adjustment either on camera end or PROC Amp.

Most of these screens come with remotes that allow you to adjust brightness, contrast and tint. I generally find a mid-level for each and leave it alone.
234 vertical monitors are cheap, but considering you are going to use the screen for some time and thus amortize the cost, you should consider getting an LCD with the higher resolution and better contrast if you are looking for a 12-volt device.
What would be ideal? A light 12-volt LCD with much greater than 500:1 contrast, at least 480 vertical pixels if not more, enough to match the chip size, an S-video input (which current models don't have) and...cheap!

(1) must have A/V input selector switch (to take video input as a video monitor)
(2) must use 800x480 high resolution LCD glass
Note: some recent SONY models do not have these.
Here is a test shot of a model (9" wide 800x480, 500:1 dynamic contrast, 6 hour battery and unbelievable low price.)
For comparison, other test shots of display devices are here in CN.
(Sorry if this ruins the current low price market on some discontinued models...)

The LCD glass has the dimension of 200x110mm (8.98" diag) at 800x480 pixel resolution. The pixel pitch is 0.229mm (H) x 0.25mm (W), i.e., not exactly 1:1. See picture below.
Video Mode (analog)
Using NTSC video as the player's input:
"Normal" (uses 600x480 pixels) at 147mmx110mm display area (4:3 aspect ratio)
"Full" (uses 800x480 pixels) at 200mmx110mm display area (20:11 aspect ratio)
Movie Mode (digital)
In (MPEG4) Movie mode using USB flash drive, max video resolution is 720x480 and file has to be in MP4 simple profile format.
"Normal" (uses 600x422 pixels) at 147mmx97mm display area (3:2 aspect ratio)
"Full" (uses 800x422 pixels) at 200mmx97mm display area (2:1 aspect ratio)
"Zoom" (uses 800x464 pixels) at 200mmx106mm display area (15:8 aspect ratio)
Picture Mode (digital data)
Best-fit JPEG file should be in 4:3 aspect ratio, e.g., 640x480 resolution
"Normal" (uses 530x464 pixels) at 132mmx101mm display area (4:3 aspect ratio)
"Full" (uses 720x464 pixels) at 180mmx101mm display area (16:9 aspect ratio)
"Zoom" (uses 720x480 pixels) at 180mmx110mm display area (5:3 aspect ratio)
I was hoping for the player's display system is using a simple pixel-mapping method to preserve picture quality. Turn out to be interpolation everywhere while H and V stretched differently!
Well, I got my unit cheap so no complains .
