This used to work, but today when I posted to my WordPress blog and checked to have Twitter updated, it updated all right, but forgot to include the link back to the post. Is anyone else seeing this?

You're not the only one. I noticed the same problem. I'm not sure how to fix it, but at least you're not alone!
Glad I'm not alone. I'm hoping the developer takes a look at it. I'm usually loathe to change plugin code, as any updates would wipe out the changes.
Happened to me as well. I left a comment on the developer's site informing him of the bug, but his only response was to try to sell me technical support services.
I've since switched to other plugins.
I left a comment on the developer's site informing him of the bug, but his only response was to try to sell me technical support services.
Since this "bug" only seems to affect people who have incorrectly entered their username and API key, I thought it appropriate to let you know where you could get support to resolve the issue for you. I'm sorry you found this offensive.
My username and API key were correctly entered. That was double and triple-checked. Twitter Tools didn't post a URL with the tweet regardless of whether or not the bit.ly plugin was activated and set up. It didn't work no matter what I tried.
That makes it a bug.
I've had the same experience as LMAshton except I've not had any interaction with Mr. King.
My bit.ly url is not being posted on Twitter from any of my blogs. This is a change from the previous behaviour. I have not changed anything on the three blogs within the time frame of the bit.ly failure using Twitter Tools. I can see it happening to several other folks in my Twitter stream as well.
I will gladly switch back to Twitter Tools once it functions for me again. For now, it's been removed.
Thank you.
I noticed that I didn't even have the bit.ly settings set. Whoops.
I haven't tested it yet though.
But it seems to me that if I didn't have those set, Twitter Tools would revert to the previous behavior of adding the long-form link.
On my blogs (three, by the way), without the bit.ly plugin, no URL at all was given in the tweet, long version or short, so I had zero luck with getting anything resembling any kind of URL on any tweet.
For the record, the behavior I mentioned in previous tweets was identical on all three blogs.
My username and API were also correctly entered, but if this problem is just being caused by the URL shortener, I'll disable the bit.ly plugin and see if it works. I do not have this plugin enabled on another blog, and it is correctly sending tweets.
I'm having the same issue. My new blog posts are generating tweets on my twitter page, but there is no link back to the post. My bit.ly account info is correct. I'm currently using WordPress 2.8.4 and Twitter Tools 2.0. If anyone had any luck getting this to work I would be interested in hearing how.
For what it's worth, I deactivated all Twitter Tools plugins, then reactivated without the bit.ly plugin and was able to generate a tweet with a link back to the new post. I then activated the bit.ly plugin, at which pointed I noticed a trailing space after my API key (from my copy and paste?). Once I removed the space, I saw the links on my bit.ly page.
Same problems here.. I tried deactivating, and reactivating, re-installing.. to no avail. Strange how it just stopped suddenly. I switched to TweetSuite for now... Hoping there's a fix soon. I really liked Twitter Tools
@alexkingorg... My API key is entered correctly...I've triple checked it...
I've been using the plugin successfully for many months now. I had not messed with the settings at all when it just stopped working. It will tweet out the title, but no longer includes the bit.ly link.
I've just managed to get the plugin working. As Alex King says above that this only affects users "incorrectly entered their username and API key" I thought that this was worth looking into. Although to the naked eye my username and API looked absolutely fine there was a blank space after my API key (a result of copying and pasting from my bit.ly account). I deleted this blank space and published a test post which worked perfectly and included the shortened url. Really pleased that this is now working as I use it on 4 blogs. I hope that this solution works for others.
Best wishes,
reallgooddomains had the same issue as me. There was an extraneous space in the copy/pasted API key from bit.ly.
Yep, also found a trailing space on the API key. Once removed it all worked fine.
I think it is bit.ly. Sometimes when I log on to bit.ly directly it is down.
I had the same problem with bit.ly. Trailing space.
But I have another question: I'm posting time-relevant information and I like post-dating posts to the day that it's relevant for. But if the "published" date isn't immediately, it doesn't tweet the post. Any ideas on how to work around this?
Ha ... happened to me as well but in my case I was stupid enough to actually put in a API Key from a different service.
Yeah, I had a trailing space after my API key but that didn't solve the problem.
I am running WP 8.5 and TT 2.0. Until a couple weeks ago, everything worked fine. Then, no links on twitter, not long-form and not bit.ly shortened.
Figured it was a twitter issue.
Today I tried it again to see if I could get it to work. Deleted and reinstalled plug-in. No luck.
Then, I deactivated the bit.ly twitter tools plug-in. Voila, suddenly my blog posts were being shortened and were showing up on twitter, automatically.
Makes no sense? Yeah.
Am I happy, nonetheless? Yeah.
So, my tip to you is, deactivate or delete twitter tools, re-install, reactivate, then enter your bit.ly ID and API key, again.
Then, try to post.
If it doesn't create a shortened address, deactivate the three twitter tools plug-ins, one at a time - bit.ly urls creation, #hashtag creation, and exclude category, starting by deactivating bit.ly urls. If that doesn't work, deactivate all three.
Trial and error will get you what you want!
@JohnAKeith - go and read this post on Alex's blog.
There might be a patch for your problems with Twitter Tools. For my part it is working fine on all of my sites.

Look clean and easy to install
I ordered these for French doors in my bedroom. They look nice.Read More
Good quality
As good as some custom made shades. Mechanism works as expectedRead More
Love these
These are very easy to install. They are also super easy to operate. My 3 year old no longer pulls blinds aside in order to look out of the window. He can now lift it up easily. He also is no longer in danger of the cord because these are cordless. I will say that one of the ones I received are a little finicky to open and close. I haven't figured out the reason yet but if I jiggle it a bit, it glides up smoothly again. These are not blackout shades. They do let light in but they still offer privacy and light filtering.Read More
Great shades!
The first order of two blinds included one that was damaged (two of the honeycombs were stuck together). However, Overstock very quickly sent a replacement! They would be 5-star were it not for the one damaged shade. The shades were easy to install and easy to use. They include a plastic handle so I don't get finger grease on them when I want to move them up and down. I ordered a size 1/2 inch smaller than the inside of my windows and they fit perfectly.Read More
Looks crisp and clean....
I bought the white blind. It brightens up the room and makes it look crisp and clean. Easy to put up and easy to pull down.Read More

Great value for the price
These cellular shades exceeded my expectations. They were very easy to install. I did it myself, and I am usually challenged mechanically. It only took me five minutes, and that's saying something. The shades are amazing and look very high end. Light filters through but you can't see in, even at night. Plus, the room is warmer. I plan to buy more for our front room to cut down on heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer.Read More
Stood the test of time
Purchased this shade in blue a year ago for the kitchen based on other OS's high rating. Low price. Easy installation. Attractive. Functional. To this I can now add durable. Purchased four more in white for a bedroom and home office. They allow significantly more light in than the blue, which I wanted, though the blue works well and looks good in the kitchen.Read More
Excellent value
Excellent value - exceptional product for the price. Quality construction and easy to install. Will purchase additional for other rooms.Read More
Pleased with these blinds
These blinds are good quality, and solid construction. They don't look cheap. The cordless motion works well. We purchased the linen color, and it is slightly more mocha/brown than linen.Read More
Wonderful product
I've bought this shade for our bathroom where we previously had one of the standard metal shades that got dusty and was quite unsightly. This shade changed the lighting in the bathroom - it let's light in without exposing anybody. So, keep in mind that this might not be good for a room where you want to control the amount of light you want to let in as you can either open the shade or close it (although you can do partial closing).Read More
Questions & Answers
This is a single cell shade.
I am looking for the "Insola" brand of blind. Are these "Insola" or are they another manufacturer?
They are Welcome Industrial brand.
Can these be cut down? I have 18" window
We do not recommend trimming or cutting these shades to size.
Can these shades be mounted to the top of the window frame rather than the sides? This would be inside mount.
Yes, you can use these shades as inside mount.
Hello, My windows are 263/4" so I think I would be ok to order the 27" width?
Hello jw, given that the actual width of shade is 0.25 to 0.5 inches less than stated to allow up-down motion without scratching window frame it should fit, however we cannot guarantee a perfect fit. I hope that helps. Thanks for shopping with us!
Are these 9/16"? 1"? Thanks!
Hello tobeinfinit, these have honeycomb pleats. They are 3/4" when open and 1" when flat. I hope that answers your question. Thank you for shopping with us. Thank you for shopping with us.
I want to do inside mount. My window is 32 inch wide. Should I order 31 inches and what is the dimensions for the bracket?
Hello samat1, you will select a size 31 wide shade. Thank you for shopping with us.
Want to do inside mount, and our older frame has layers of molding. The mounting area is only 1/2" though enough depth for the shade. The bracket screw holes must be side by side, not front and back. (Assume two screws used for each bracket). Please describe the bracket for this shade, or better, a photo.
Hello JY, with the metal clip at the bottom, the bracket is 1.58 inches deep, .75 inches high, and 1.25 inches wide. Thanks for shopping with us!
Why did you choose this product?

Already have one and like it so much that I wanted more.
I need this particular size and you had it available here at a great price.
Remodeling home with lots of windows. Price is good.
It was an incredible price for the size blind. Need to add insulation/privacy to a block window over the tub.
I think it could be good looking.
They we tree e perfect for my kitchen.
These blinds are being purchased to replace some aging blinds presently being used. We considered these because of the design and price, both of which we felt met our immediate needs.
I wanted them
One I had got destroyed.
Good reviews.
The size and price were good.
it fits my windows!
is this shade able to be mounted on the side of the window (i am hanging this 12" from top of window frame, so only can mount on sides?_
Hello abecohn, the shade can be mounted on the inside or outside of the window frame. Thank you for shopping with us!
I want to hang this shade on a door. Does this shade include brackets to hold in the down position?
Thank you for contacting us nancyave. This is a cordless shade and the height is adjusted simply by pulling/lifting the shade to the desired length. There are no brackets needed to hold it in the down position. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
I don't think holding it down is possible for a moving door
Can you tell me if these shades of the ability to do what this shade does? http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Top-down-Bottom-up-White-Cellular-Shade/4582168/product.html Thanks.
Thank you so much for your question, mnclark02. If your asking if they can open at the top as well as the bottom of the shade, we have not been able to determine that as yet, but until we hear otherwise, we assume they do not. I hope this helps, and thank for shopping at Overstock.com.
I ordered several and they open from the bottom up. they make a significant difference in the warmth of my home on these very cold winter nights. During the daytime, they insulate and let the daylight come into the room. We love them and have them on all of our windows at home save for the windows with shutters.
What is the difference between this item and Item #: 13607864, the Honeycomb Cell Light-filtering Pure White Cellular Shades? Do they both provide equal amounts of privacy? Thank you.
Hello calla99, these are very similar, one is a pure white, the other is not. Thank you for shopping with us.
What is the dimension of the pleats -- 1/2"? 1/4"? or what? Thank you.
Hello calla99, these are honeycomb pleats. They are 3/4" when open and 1" when flat. Thank you for shopping with us.
Under Available Dimensions 64 inches long x 39 inches wide is listed. That size doesnt appear to be currently available in white. When will the size be available? Im interested in purchasing several of them.
Hello peter13616, Items are restocked as they become available; however we cannot guarantee an Item will be restocked. Thank you for shopping with us.
My window frame allows for a bracket installation of no more than 1.5' if I am going to do an inside mount. Is this deep enough for an inside mount installation or do I need to plan to mount these as an outside mount?
Thank you for shopping with us lle377. These are exactly 1 1/2 wide, a perfect fit. Have a great day.
Can these shades be mounted from the bottom of the window and be pulled up?
Hi cerebellum, we tried verifying this information with our support team. Unfortunately we are unable to determine if it is possible to mount it upside down from the bottom up. We can only recommend using the item as intended. Thanks for shopping with us.
I purchased several of these shades from Overstock.com. The item #, which you don't have in stock is 116477859. They are 35.5 W x 64L. Other than the fact that this shade, item # 11445591 is 35 wide is it the same shade?
Thank you for contacting us irene27. There never was a 35.5 width. That was an error on our side. The 35.5 was most likely as 36" as these shaded are typically .5 inches less that stated to allow for inside mounting so the shade moves up and down easily against the frame.A 35 inch is 34.5 inches. We apologize for any inconvenience we might have caused. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
Can I hang these by installing the bracket hardware on the (inside) top of the window frame?
Hello gnomette, If I am understanding you correctly, the installation you are inquiring about is what is show in the image. (inside top of the window frame) The mounting strip is 2 inches in depth. Thank you for shopping with us and please let us know if you have additional questions.
Sorry I wasn't clear, I should have elaborated, I have limited space around my window frames and I can only screw the brackets in by going up ^ (using only the top of the window frame, not the sides or directly forward). It's hard to explain. My windows are Pella with little clearance around the insides and what little wood I have has grooves which makes a flush mount impossible. I can only attach the brackets if the screws go straight UP. I didn't want to assume anything based on the photos- I've been wrong before. Thanks for your help and patience! :)
Hello gnomette, Thanks for the clarification. The Brackets can be mounted with the screws going up into the top of the window frame. I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions, and thank you for shopping with us.
My window is 68 1/2 " in length; however, I will never have the blinds pulled all the way up so I don't mind that the blind is only 64" long. Are the cords long enough that the blind can be mounded in a window that is 68 1/2" long?
Hi marthakay, these are cordless blinds, this should work great. Thanks for your interest have a great day!

A blog essay in progress by Piklu aka St. Paul of Gandu
"Gandur jiban … to bnara ganduri jiban"
—- Gandu (Asshole, Q, 2010)
[All translations are mine]
Prologue: Reflections on farting as a socially symbolic act
There is a poignant moment in the contemporary Bengali film Gandu where the middle class protagonist Gandu (Anubrata) accuses his only friend, a cycle rickshaw puller (Joyraj), for farting repeatedly in response to his earnest expression of the miseries pervading his social existence. But what could be closer to an act of true friendship? Ricksha thus sums up his primal response in unambiguous terms: "gas hoechey bnara…" ['it's the fuckin' wind']. A perfectly organic response to the call of the other (habitually misinterpreted as an act of sheer disdain!). Herein lies the distinction between 'humanity' and it's alleged other—the sensitive domain of affect and bonhomie versus the blind, mechanical propensities of purely biological forces. At one level, as I explain below, this lewdly witty conversation staged on a derelict rooftop subverts such a opposition by staging an authentic act of 'intimate' exchange that foregrounds an essential feature of human nature— it's purely inter subjective and inhuman core. The scenario that could considered as a 'mise-en-abyme' of Gandu's constitutive narrative logic, provokes two contrasting responses—-to denounce such offensive expressions as instances of cheap sensationalism and bad taste or to celebrate the same rhetoric as a scathing attack on humanist values and middle class behavourial norms. Both responses would miss the point. Ricksha's act in fact stages the very 'human' drama that such critics would nostalgically desire or compulsively attack, but in the form of its staging the act unearths a fundamental illusion sustaining social habitation.

I am looking for a way to end the plaster generalized shaling and flaking that basically attacks just one one room in our c. 1810 townhouse.
The house was refurbished by the previous owner, and the plaster (I believe) is about 30 years old. The plaster is VERY hard, bending over all types of nails except for tempered "super-nails". It is in excellent condition, except for this annoying flaking problem. The paint which was applied a few years ago (latex, I think) in many places no longer holds on, but instead hangs like so much cloth tacked to the walls.
The exterior walls are brick, and the room that is attacked is the ground floor dining room. The walls seem totally dry, there is no acute dampness problem that I can see.
I dream of some kind of plaster finish coat or white wash that could be applied to these walls that would penetrate the surface plaster and form a lasting bond. I wonder about the brown staining that often occurs when new plaster is adjacent to old plaster.
It definitely seems as if a specific chemical reaction is going on here, which, if attacked properly, could be solved once and for all. Any suggestions for what ails these walls and what is the proper course to correct them?
Thanks very much!

The 70-200 will be sharper wide-open. Plus at the higher resolutions it might not be a bad idea to get a lens with VR.

Oh ladies! After getting into habit of posting often and making new friends here, I left abruptly. (kinda long but I made it as short as I could)
My family is still asking for everyone's prayers. January 8, my younger sister got a call that my grandparent's house was on fire. My grandparents were hoarders and they were trapped in the basement.... and we lost them. My grandfather was 79, my grandmother 75, married for 58 BEAUTIFUL years. They raised my sister and I so this has been extremely hard for us.
The night that this happened, I was in all emotions and keeping my blood pressure down all day was extremely hard. That evening, when I returned home, I had very light, faint pink spotting. Only that one moment. My doctor is aware of the amount of stress I'm under.
Although this was two weeks ago, I am still asking for prayers for my family. This journey has only begun for us. I ask for prayers for Baby Manning. And for me to remember to stay calm. And for my mom who has more than she bargained for with legal issues and family wanting to prance around with their hand out. With having lost everything in the fire (the fireproof safe with all of the legal documents needed was destroyed by the bulldozer in the search for them), our world has certainly changed.
The last time I saw my Grandparents (4 days before they past), my grandma brought me a baby gate. Its an old fashioned and my grandpa and I laughed together trying to figure it out, but we did! My grandma was so excited to be the first one to get the baby a gift. They got to see the baby's first sonogram picturre. They were so happy for us. My grandma was so scared for me after my first miscarriage. After that, the only thing my grandma and grandpa wanted for me was to have a baby. I, at least they got to see that happen and see the baby's sono pic, I just wish they were here.
I am so blessed and honored to have them in my life for 27 years. They raised me for 18 years and have come to my house every Wednesday for coffee and whatever I baked that week, their favorite was pumpkin pie bread and butternut squash pie. EVERY Wednesday.
I try not to stress and get overly worked up for Baby but it's so hard. I miss them. I don't know what to do without them. The only other death I have experienced is when we lost our son at 17.5 weeks. I've never gone through anything like this before, so sudden and so tragic. I don't even know how to begin to get through it.

In preparation for the DVD release of the movie The Help on December 6, or for a lovely Thanksgiving dessert, why not whip up one of Minny's chocolate pies? It's silky, rich and quite irresistible—once you try it, you'll understand why Two-Slice Hilly was such a fan.
This chocolate pie recipe is adapted from the actual recipe used for the pies in the film. Newspaper columnist Lee Ann Flemming made a total of 53 of these chocolate pies for the movie, and this is the recipe she used, with a few tweaks. The original recipe appeared in the August 2011 Food & Wine issue, and can be found here.
Should the situation call for it, unholy ingredients may be added at your discretion.
Where to buy pie baking supplies in Jacksonville, FL:
· Pie crust shields are VERY handy, as they save you from wrangling foil while your head and arms are in the hot oven. You can get either the silicone or metal ones for under 10 bucks at Bed Bath & Beyond on Southside Blvd., or online at Williams-Sonoma or Amazon.
· Pie dishes are available at many stores in Jacksonville, including Target, Wal-Mart, Bed Bath & Beyond, Williams-Sonoma and Publix.
· Pie crust makers allow you to avoid the mess of rolling out pie dough. It's essentially a clear plastic bag you zip a blob of dough into, and then roll the dough to desired size inside the bag. No flour on the floor, no counter-scraping needed—it's pretty great. Bed Bath & Beyond on Southside Blvd. carries it, or you can order online from Amazon.
Minny's Chocolate Pie
1 packaged pie dough crust (or you can make your own using the pastry from this Quiche Lorraine recipe)
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
4 tablespoons butter, melted
2 large eggs, beaten
3/4 cup evaporated milk
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
whipped cream, for serving
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edges decoratively. Prick the crust lightly with a fork. Bake for about 18 minutes, until the crust is dry but not browned (baking the crust before adding the filling is called a "blind bake").
Before doing the blind bake, you can line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried garbanzo beans, but I found that it's not really necessary. If you decide to do this, bake the crust for 15 minutes or until set, remove the parchment and weights, and bake for about 5 minutes longer, just until the crust is dry but not browned.
Meanwhile, pour sugar into a medium-size bowl and sift cocoa powder into bowl on top of sugar. Stir sugar and cocoa powder together.
Next, whisk in the butter, eggs, evaporated milk, vanilla and salt and stir until smooth.
Pour the filling into the pie shell and bake for about 45 minutes, until the filling is set around the edges but a little jiggly in the center. Cover the crust with strips of foil or a pie crust shield halfway though the baking to prevent the crust from burning. Transfer the pie to a rack and let cool completely before cutting. Serve with whipped cream. Refrigerate leftovers.

The Labrador Institute of Memorial University of Newfoundland was established by the University to stimulate, coordinate, and support major University projects and programs designed to promote the well-being of the people of Labrador and to expand the Labrador knowledge base. Its location in Happy Valley-Goose Bay and Labrador City affords it a perspective on regional and aboriginal needs and issues that direct the operations of the Institute. The Institute identifies opportunities in research where the capabilities of the University may enhance our knowledge of Labrador and address concerns of the community, and puts forward educational needs for continuing human resource and cultural development.
The Institute is the main contact point for the University in Labrador and maintains communications with aboriginal and community groups and the Faculties and Schools of the University to ensure that there is a timely response to research and educational opportunities.
The Institute facilitates and coordinates the activity of personnel at the University as they undertake cultural, research, and educational activities. It partners with Faculties and Schools to solicit funds for research and the delivery of educational programs, and with other social, cultural and educational institutions in Labrador. A Labrador based archive provides a reference collection of publications and films on Labrador and other northern regions for public use.
The Labrador Institute works with the Office of Research which acts as the agent within the University to receive and disburse Northern Scientific Training Program grants received from the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development. The Institute also serves as the University's representative on the Association of Canadian Universities for Northern Studies and supports the University's membership in the University of the Arctic.
The Institute is not a regulatory body but it is available to advise on the normal process of grant applications by individuals. The Institute recommends that notice or copies of such applications be filed with the Institute to obviate duplication of effort within the University. It also maintains and administers an invaluable archival collection of Labrador materials. It is the Institute's intent to collect and disseminate all pertinent copies of research conducted by or through the University.
The Director of the Labrador Institute reports to the Vice-President (Academic).
Further information may be obtained by contacting the Institute in writing to the Labrador Institute, P.O. Box 490, Station B, Happy Valley-Goose Bay, NL, A0P 1E0, or by telephone at (709) 896-6210, or by fax at (709) 896-2970.

I'm looking for a cross frame, thinking maybe a Spicer or an Everti (used to be Epic).
This may be my only frame for the next year or so, and I figure it might be worth spending the extra on a titanium frame (Al shakes me to bits, and I've had a few steel bikes, want the extra comfort). The bike is likely to be used for everything, bit of off road, commuting, some decent road miles, a couple of crits, even a cross race or two.
Any opinions or experience?

Takeover Defense: Anticipate, Move Fast
Plotkin, Ben A., American Banker
Small publicly traded community banks that want to remain independent must weather a nearly perfect storm of circumstances that are driving consolidation.
New Sarbanes-Oxley regulatory burdens, low interest rates, compressed margins, market saturation, and takeover prices 40% to 50% higher than market values are causing once reluctant sellers to reconsider. At the same time, potential buyers have the strong stock currencies and desire for growth that make acquisitions attractive again.
Professional activists seeking to maximize short-term shareholder value and larger banks looking to strengthen local market penetration are typically considered the biggest threats to the independence of a community bank or thrift. In fact, however, the biggest threat is disappointed and alienated shareholders.
Performance and management issues aside, the likeliest takeover targets have a highly concentrated shareholder base - a few individuals plus, perhaps, some institutions, including hedge funds and arbitrageurs.
The combination of consistent underperformance or undervaluation, short-term-oriented institutional shareholders, and individual investors who believe senior management or directors are self-interested or unresponsive makes for high takeover risk. And banks with capitalizations of less than $50 million and in concentrated markets with few sellers have additional reasons to expect an unsolicited approach.
Though most community banks seem dedicated to shareholder interests, many fail to take the steps necessary to reduce their vulnerability or strengthen their ability to withstand a takeover attempt. Too many directors would rather dodge bullets than make changes that would reduce the odds of an unsolicited tender offer or a proxy battle initiated by an activist shareholder.
Those steps are neither complex nor particularly innovative. In fact, they mirror some of the industry's best practices, which include:
* Run a numbers-driven business. Proactive shareholder communications programs and structural takeover defense mechanisms - staggered board tenures, supermajority vote requirements, and poison-pill plans - often prove to be of limited value if financial performance is poor or marginal.
Any business in which key metrics such as return on equity, earnings growth, and capital management are unhealthy is always a takeover target. With increased emphasis on corporate governance, bank directors now have a mandate to hold senior managers accountable for financial performance and to take appropriate steps if they do not measure up.
* Be visible and responsive to shareholders. Regardless of financial performance, large and small shareholders want to know that managers and directors have a focused and well-reasoned strategic plan, and that all activity is driven and measured by that plan.
Investors need to believe that their best interests are an ongoing priority. Managers who have not earned credibility and influence with investors, analysts, market makers, and other key constituents are unlikely to get their support in the heat of a takeover battle.
* Expect and prepare for ownership challenges. …

Read an Excerpt
South Dallas
"You like that?" the man asked her.
"Mmmm." Incongruously, in the back of her mind she recognized "The Lady from Brazil" playing over his radio that he'd brought down into the basement with him. Their romantic accompaniment, she thought. "Answer," he commanded.
"Yes." Tania Maria is the artist's name, she thought, fighting to keep herself in check.
"Don't talk so forcefully. You know I don't go for that." He hurt her a little to emphasize his words.
"I'm sorry," she whispered. "Now. Try it again. There. You like that-- huh?"
"Okay. You've already forgotten what I just told you two seconds ago. You ain't the smartest cookie ever drew a breath, are you? Eh?"
"No WHAT?"
"No, I'm not the smartest cookie that ever drew a breath."
"What a fuckin' GENIUS." He laughed. "I LOVE it. Damn. Okay. Now. When I ask-you-if-you-like-it"-- he squeezed her breasts roughly, his arms coming around her from behind, reaching under her arms and cupping her large breasts, kneading them in tempo as he spoke, turning himself on at her helplessness-- "I want you to tell me. I want you to say, 'YES, I like it. I like for you to squeeze my big, juicy melons.' You think you can remember that?"
"Say it"-- he squeezed hard, hurting her this time-- "goddamn you."
"I like it. I like for you to squeeze my big, juicy melons."
"Like this?"
"Ahh," she cried out in pain as he squeezed her breast, crying out more than the degree of pain called for, knowing how he got off on it, and then making a little whimpering, keening noise that he liked.
"Yeah," he said hoarsely, "you go for that, don't you? Oh, yes." He wastouching her now.
She fought to keep herself on course. She tried to whimper convincingly and not recoil from the unwanted intimacy of his hand.
"You're so wet. Damn. You want to beg for some of ole Sly?"
"Yes. Please. I beg you give me some of old Sly."
"Uh huh. A nice soft whispery voice. That's the way I like for you to beg for it." He was touching her roughly below. The first two fingers of his right hand going in and out, plumbing her over and over, in and out, and then his hand was out of her and she could feel him doing something.
"Now," he said, "let's beg for him nice."
"Come on, Sly, please. I beg for you. Please. I want you so bad." She fought to keep the hatred and ice out of her voice.
"Ole Sly gonna make you sit up and beg."
"Oh," she said as he thrust his erection in.
"That's what I like about fuckin' you doggie-style, bitch, I don't have to even guide ole Sly in. He just sorta fits in there himself, don't he?"
"Yes. He feels so good," she lied as he banged up against her.
"Yeah. I know, baby." He cupped her left breast, his right hand on her right hip as he drilled her. Her breast was getting sore from his squeezing. It had been a nightmare. She'd been his captive for over three weeks now. He'd abducted her in a Dallas shopping center. In broad daylight, he'd said later, and you were the broad. He was some joker.
"Oh," she let out an audible moan of simulated ecstasy. In the weeks of captivity she'd learned survival skills. She'd even had a menstrual period while she was chained up, and he'd whipped her for it and made her take him in her mouth until she gagged. Forcing her to give him head for hours.
Her name was Donna. Reasonably attractive, longhaired, neatly groomed, outgoing, poised under normal circumstances. She imagined what she must look like now, cowering in dazed fear and semishock, chained to a basement wall by a mad rapist and murderer, waiting for his pleasure in the cellar room of a dark house. Hair like a rat's nest hanging down in her face.
"Ohhhh," she moaned, and he said, "That's right, cunt. Sly's a big boy, isn't he?"
"Oh, yes. Sly, you're so big and hard. You feel so good inside me."
For the first couple of weeks she'd slept only three or four hours a night. Losing all sense of the passage of days and nights. Sometimes he left the light on all night. Sometimes he turned it off and kept it dark during the daylight hours, she knew, purposely disorienting and confusing her.
"Beg for him."
"Yes. Please. I beg you, don't stop. It feels so good." She tried to move a little off the rhythm, trying to subtly spoil his deep strokes, but she had to do it with the greatest care. If he suspected anything, her plan wouldn't work, and he was very cunning. It was now or never.
"Oh," she moaned again. "I ... Ohhhh.... I want it so bad. I could do this so good if I didn't have a chain like this. Please. Ohhhh. Please. I want you to fuck me so deep. Please unchain me." She made her voice as sexy and ingratiating as she could.
"Ole Sly done got you hot to trot."
"Yes, baby. So hot. So hot and wet. I want to be such a good slave to you."
"Yeah. I can dig it." He was really banging into her now. "Yeah. We can take that heavy chain off our little bitch. Let her do her thing. After all, you can't go nowhere."
That's what you think you bastard, she thought to herself as she moaned in mock, orgasmic delight.
He had kidnapped her at gunpoint, this joker. Plucked her from the safety of her car. Raping her repeatedly. Keeping her in a thick leather belt to which a heavy chain had been padlocked. This was what he was unlocking now, the hated thing that kept her tethered to the wall.
She felt weak. Light-headed. Sore. She was nude. He'd kept her that way all the time. With only a blanket pulled around her-- "so you won't catch cold and die, bitch," he'd said. He fed her by whim. Watered her enough to keep her going. Sex was rough. Perverted. Animalistic.
But it wasn't the sex or his brutality that had terrorized her to the breaking point. It was his wild bragging about the bodies he'd buried. "Hundreds of bodies." And she knew that it wasn't all hot air. He told her too many specific details of burials. And he'd shown her proud clippings of his kills. Dozens of newspaper stories detailing a recent rash of mysterious disappearances in the Southwest. He had lots of the stories thumbtacked to the walls of the basement room, interspersed with his favorite pages from raunchy skin mags.
The fact that he would tell her such explicit details frightened her deeply. He continually promised that he'd let her live if she'd do what he demanded of her, but instinct told her otherwise. She knew that all of his bragging would eventually have a price. If she was going to survive this ordeal, she would have to get away somehow, and it would have to be soon.
She was very tired and weak. A lethargy had set in after the first couple of weeks and she'd gone from sleeping a few hours a night to sleeping constantly. She would retreat from the horrors of her imprisonment and abuse the moment he would finish with her, pulling back into a curl and instantly letting herself slip into the dark womb of sleep. When she'd be awakened, she'd still be in that same fetal ball, the blanket tucked around her, barely able to move.
Even now she could feel herself giving into it. A curious bonding effect often develops between captor and captive. She had begun to look forward to his brief visits, on some level that she couldn't possibly comprehend, hoping that she would please him and that he'd allow her to shut her eyes tightly again and curl up into that wonderful state of abject nothingness. She recognized how dangerous this was. She realized she was beginning to give up.
She fought to keep herself servile. To keep her voice soft and pseudo-sexy as he unlocked her shackles. She must call on every ounce of her courage and resourcefulness. He was large and powerful and she was weak and no match for him. But she had a strength of her own. She knew men. She could see this madman had an obvious weakness. An area of insecurity that, if played correctly, could set her free.
She knew that if she could convince him that she wanted his sexual prowess, wanted to enjoy it to its fullest, he might take the belt or at least the heavy chain off her for a few moments. Then she could watch for her chance. After the first week or so, he had stopped locking the upstairs door when he came down to visit her. She prayed he would not lock it this time when she heard the door open and the old boards creaking under his weight.
Now he had entered her again from the rear and he was savagely reaching a climax. She was doing her best to bring him to a wild finale, working hard to make him ejaculate in a hot frenzy of intercourse, and their moans and hard breathing brought him to the shooting point and she could feel the liquid heat and then his spent member withdrawing as he murmured things to her.
"Oh, that was some good slave pussy," he told her.
She moaned back at him, her back still turned. Squirming a little for him as she did so and making a little toss of the head that she did, a shake of the hair to make the long mane fall back away from her face. But he could not see that her eyes were as hard as Carborundum, nor could he know that her concentration was as sharp as a butcher knife.
And in just that three or four seconds when he turned to adjust his radio volume those bare feet took her soundlessly up the stairs, and she was fast and very scared and lucky and flew through the small frame dwelling with unerring accuracy and out the back door of the kitchen and down a few wooden stairs, through a postage-stamp-size backyard and down an ordinary alley to the barking of a dozen neighborhood dogs, running barefoot through cinders, gravel, broken glass, garbage, sticks and stones, rusty nails and alley cat tails, running like a frightened gazelle, propelled by the potent fuel of terror, running nude through the Dallas night, running across lawns, clumsily falling, sobbing and gasping for air, darting around strange shapes and silhouettes, jumping stumbling vaulting throwing herself over all manner of obstacles, dashing unexpectedly out in front of cars on a busy street in a blinding glare of headlights and a blasting, cacophonous honking of horns and screeching of brakes as bewildered motorists stood on brake pedals to avoid the insane streaker who shot across their field of vision in a blur of skin and wild, trailing hair, and then out of sight and running through suburbia, through the streets of the darkest shadows, knowing the mad one was right behind her and that any moment she'd feel the awful stab of the blade or the searing heat of the gunshot, and running beyond exhaustion and running through the dead envelope of shock and then losing herself in this endless new world of alternating pools of blackness and bright light, awareness melting away, her consciousness dissolving in the deliquescent flow of perpetual night that took her at last and held her in its arms.

Since our last post about BRIO {see here} the brand added some new fun things to their collection. To the very excitement of my kids they extended their train set with some more amusement sets.
There is, for example, the Ferris wheel that even has lights and that the kids can turn with a knob. Or the little kit that comes with real amusement park music and a ticket booth.
You see we are slowly building our very own Tivoli here at home!
Oh and I also like the new birthday train. Great gift for little people.

Minka Aire Concept II 52 Wet Rated Indoor Outdoor Ceiling Fan
Shop for it at:
I needed a ceiling fan for my porch that is only 8 feet tall and gets wet from the rain. I searched all over, and finally found this fan made by Minka Aire called the Concept II Wet. This ceiling fan is the only hugger fan that I could find that is made for outdoors where it is damp or even wet (meaning it can get rained on). It is a fantastic quality fan and I could not be more please with the way it performs. It was very easy to install...and even came with a wall control. I got a remote control that was optional that works along with the wall control as well. It even has a built-in light fixture that is pretty much flush with the bottom of the fan and is dimmable from both the wall control and remote control. I love this fan so much, I bought more to put one in my kids rooms, my bathroom, my kitchen as well as in my garage. By the way, it comes in brushed nickel, white, and a bronze colors, but I liked the brushed nickel the best. Only negative thing I can say is that it cost about $260.00, which at first sounded like a bit much, but after I installed them I can see why. It really is a good quality high performance product.

North Carolina officials want to know how you react to an evacuation during a hurricane.
For the next month, interviewers with North Carolina Emergency Management will call hundreds of coastal residents to learn more about their past behaviors and future plans when evacuation orders are issued.
Each call will last 15 to 20 minutes and will help local emergency managers better understand how to predict how residents may act when hurricanes threaten their area.
The data will also help drive local transportation and sheltering decisions.

Aaron Rodgers throws 6 TDs as Packers deal Texans first loss
HOUSTON -- This is more like it for Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers.
The reigning MVP set a career high and tied a franchise record with six touchdown passes and the Packers played their best game of their so far inconsistent season, beating previously unbeaten Houston 42-24 on Sunday night.
Jordy Nelson caught three touchdown passes and James Jones had two, including a beautiful, diving one-hander in the fourth quarter for the Packers (3-3). Tight end Tom Crabtree had the other, a 48-yarder that Rodgers released just before taking a hit from Texans outside linebacker Brooks Reed.
Rodgers completed 24 of 37 passes for 338 yards. He tied Matt Flynn's game record for TD passes, set in last year's regular-season finale against Detroit with Rodgers resting on the sideline in advance of the playoffs.
The Packers heard criticism from fans in Green Bay all week after blowing a 21-3 halftime lead to the Indianapolis Colts last week. Another loss would have dropped them to 2-4 for the first time since 2006, and they missed the playoffs that season.
Instead, they put themselves right back in the thick of their divisional race.
"This was an important game for us," Rodgers said. "We had a couple not go our way, games we should have won and 2-4 would have been very difficult."
Arian Foster scored two touchdowns, but ran for only 29 yards for the Texans (5-1). The loss leaves the Atlanta Falcons (6-0) as the only unbeaten team in the NFL.
Rodgers came into the game with a 68.8 completion percentage, 10 touchdown passes and a 96.9 rating -- not bad, but not quite his astonishing standard from last season. Green Bay's offense came in ranked only 21st this year. Rodgers was openly disappointed in his own play, and the offensive line had also been an issue, allowing 21 sacks.
It somehow all came together against the league's third-ranked defense.
"This is just a team that has a lot of pride in our locker room," Rodgers said. "I said it this week, there's not any quit in that locker room. It's almost better when people are doubting us a little bit, I think. We kind of band together. People tried to pull us apart this week and we stuck together and found our motivation."
Houston, meanwhile, badly missed star linebacker Brian Cushing, who was placed on injured reserve after tearing a knee ligament in last week's 23-17 win over the New York Jets.
But there was more to the Texans' collapse than just that.
Rookie DeVier Posey lined up offside on a Green Bay punt, resulting in a Packers first down. Rodgers then lofted a perfect pass to Nelson over the shoulder of cornerback Johnathan Joseph for a 41-yard touchdown, stunning the noisy crowd.
Houston's offensive line also looked shaky. The Packers sacked Matt Schaub on each of Houston's first two series, forcing quick punts. Schaub was only sacked three times in the first five games.
Houston defensive end J.J. Watt sacked Rodgers, and fired up the fans by mimicking Rodgers' "championship belt" pose after the play. Watt, who finished with two sacks, came into the game with 7½ sacks, just behind Green Bay's Clay Matthews, who led the league with eight and didn't have one against the Texans.
That didn't faze Rodgers, who eluded a rush from Connor Barwin and completed a 24-yard pass to Randall Cobb, who had seven catches for 102 yards. Jones made a diving, fingertip catch in the end zone just before the end of the first quarter for a 14-0 lead.
"As a quarterback, it's interesting to see the kind of dances that go on around you," Rodgers said, "and it's not often that you get a chance to dance back to them."
Foster finished a 5-minute drive with a short touchdown run, but the Packers had a quick answer. Rodgers found Nelson with a 21-yard touchdown to cap a smooth drive that took less than 4 minutes.
Rodgers completed 15 of 21 passes for 187 yards and was only sacked once in the first half. He connected with six receivers before halftime, and didn't miss Greg Jennings, who sat out again with a groin injury.
"He put on a show tonight," Texans coach Gary Kubiak said of Rodgers.
Not that they needed it, but the Texans helped Rodgers with untimely penalties.
A holding call wiped out an 11-yard touchdown run by Rodgers. But Barwin stepped on another player's back trying to block Mason Crosby's field-goal attempt, an unsportsmanlike conduct call resulting in a first down.
Safety Danieal Manning was called for a personal foul after a whistle on a third-down play, and Rodgers threw another TD pass for a 28-10 lead.
"That's discipline," Kubiak said, "and discipline starts with me."
Rookie receiver Keshawn Martin made two first-down catches late in the third quarter and Foster scored again. Cobb returned the ensuing kickoff to the Packers' 43, and Rodgers went back to work. On third down, he scrambled to his right and threw to Crabtree, who was wide open and waltzed into the end zone.
Sam Shields intercepted Schaub and fans started filing for the exits, with more than 14 minutes remaining.
Game notes
Packers LB D.J. Smith and RB Brandon Saine left the game with "significant" knee injuries, according to the team. ... Rodgers surpassed his previous career high (5), set in the second-to-last game of last season, against Chicago. ... The Packers improved to 19-5 in Sunday night games. ... Texans WR Andre Johnson caught eight passes for 75 yards, going over 10,000 yards receiving in his career. ... The Texans made a field goal for the 16th consecutive game, a franchise record. ... The announced attendance was 71,702, a record for a regular-season game at Reliant Stadium.

Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Carefully take off your pantyhose and stretch them over an object as if you were putting them on a leg. Make sure it's over something smooth that will not make the hole bigger or cause another hole.
2Paint the outside edges or the hole with a generous amount of clear nail polish so as to prevent the hole from running/getting larger. Paint over the entire hole and about 1/5 of an inch all around the hole.
3Let this coat dry.
4Apply another coat with those same instructions and let dry again.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- If you only have colored polish, you can use it, but the color will definitely show.

In an effort to keep fit while not able to ride outdoors much at this time of the year I've rejoined a gym.
My 3 times a week regime consists of a 45 minute spin bike session followed, after a rest period, by a 10 minute session consisting of 30 seconds of fast, high resistance spinning alternating with 90 seconds of easy spinning.
Do I get any extra benefit mixing the two, or is the HIIT part superfluous?

UN Secretary General: Cyprus Talks Continuing "Reasonably Well"
UN Secretary General Kofi Annan said Wednesday at the United Nations in New York that the "Cyprus talks are continuing and they are going reasonably well".
"The two leaders have been talking since January and they themselves set a deadline of June to try and reach a settlement, if not a settlement, at least substantial breakthrough, substantial progress for us to say that we are moving forward," Annan told a press conference when asked to comment on the direct talks on Cyprus, CNA reported.
"The talks are continuing, they are going reasonably well," Annan said, claiming he could not provide further details because, "we've encouraged everybody to be discreet and not to rush to the press and I should not be the first to do that." (Albwaba.com)
