Here's the Challenge:
Posts on your Facebook business page are extremely limited: your reach is 'throttled' to an average of just 16% of your fans. Some posts will reach more, some will reach less, depending on how many people engage with your posts (through comments, likes, and shares). In general, this means only your most passionate and active fans (plus a small percentage of their friends) will see your posts.
That's why Facebook should go back to using the term "fan" instead of "like": those who simply like your Page, and never interact with it again may never see you again.
Once you reach your fans, the engagement rate is only about 1% (studies show it's 1.4% for the top 200 brands on Facebook, and less than 1% for most everyone else). So, even if you're a hot brand like Nike, 99% of your fans are indifferent to what you're posting.
In fact, in the article linked above, a Facebook executive essentially said that fan interaction is not as valuable as basic reach and frequency. In other words, basic ad purchasing on Facebook produces better results in terms of interaction than wall posts.
The conclusion is obvious: Facebook wants to sell more ads. That's totally understandable; Facebook isn't a charity. The irony here is that social media was supposed to be an improvement over more traditional forms of advertising.
So, what can you do to make your brand's Facebook page worth your time and effort? In lieu of spending thousands of dollars on Facebook ads, here are 6 strategies for optimizing your company's Facebook page:
1. Provide reference material.
Keep adding information about your brand, products, and services to inform those consumers and others hitting up your page to learn more about you.
2. Add a face to your brand.
It is called "Facebook," after all, where your primary competition for consumers' attention isn't your industry rival, but your fans' friends, family, and other relationships on the platform. While your brand would be hard pressed to ever be more interesting than your consumers' own circle of friends, you can at least be more personable with stories and photos of the PEOPLE behind your brand. This can help to bridge the gap between blaring corporate messaging and amicable brand along for the ride.
3. Reward your most active fans.
Identify the most active and passionate users (the ones liking, commenting, etc.), and reward them with prizes. Organized contests are not necessary – in fact, they tend to attract the freeloaders who "like" your Page, and never come back again. Just as you would in your business, save the treats for your best customers.
4. Work with charities.
These organizations actually have very impassioned, involved fans, so collaborating with them – and sharing images from those collaborations – will generate awareness, and help to build positive brand perceptions among those fans.
5. Share eye-catching photos and valuable advice.
The kind of posts that often get shared usually involve an eye-catching photo combined with some interesting fact or advice. Engaging posts also demonstrate your expertise, and show how your product/service can be used.
6. Drive traffic to your website.
Your goal should be to promote your website on Facebook, not vice versa. So, if you must have a contest, host it on your site. While customers are there, encourage them to subscribe to your newsletter or blog, which are not throttled.
Facebook ultimately works best in combination with PR, SEO, traditional media, and of course, a well-crafted website. Remember that Facebook is only a small part of an integrated marketing campaign.

Further insight into the work of the Annenberg Innovation Lab at the University of Southern California.
Dolly Bhasin 's curator insight, January 22, 2013 10:08 PM
"The difference between B2B brands and B2C brands is that B2C brands typically have to use their storytelling to create the illusion of "brand personality" or of a relationship between the product/company behind the product and the customer."
The Internet offers so many more possibilities for small businesses than ever before. The online marketing opportunities are limitless, and it can be done with the social networks that you use everyday.
So, 'Why Build Your Brand Online?' The answer is simple, because that's where everyone is. People are going to look for information about your business all hours of the day, everyday. Give your customers the opportunity to see your brand and message at all times. Let them develop a loyalty to your business via the Internet, and the increased opportunities for revenue rewards will likely soon follow.

In applying this to documentary filmmaking, I think the "Varied Monetization" section to be particularly interesting. As most documentary films don't have a very long or wide release in theatres, exploring other venues for splitting up the rights to your project may prove to be a more successful and lucrative option for most independent filmmakers.

Shaw Sees Fear in Bernard Hopkins, Expects Him To Quit
By Bill Emes
Gary Shaw, the promoter for light heavyweight contender Chad Dawson (30-1, 17KOs), believes WBC light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins (52-5-2, 32KOs) has a realistic fear of his boxer. Shaw first noticed some changes in Hopkins behavior last October, as both boxers weighed in for their first meeting.
"Let's go back for a moment to the weigh-in in California, when they went face to face. Usually Hopkins is talking sh*t to the fighter's face. He couldn't look at Chad and he walked away from Chad. He spent one second taking pictures and he never said a word, he turned and he walked away," Shaw said.
The following night, their match last two rounds. Hopkins claims to have suffered a shoulder injury in the second round, when Dawson used his shoulder to push him off, and Hopkins fell to the mat. Both Dawson and Shaw, to this day, dispute Hopkins' injury claim.
"I still don't believe he was hurt. He found a way, as he always does, to get out of the fight. If you look at Chad, after Hopkins was on the ground, Chad was running around like an uncaged animal and telling Hopkins to get up and fight like a man and he never did. There is no proof that he was hurt until this day, other than him saying that he couldn't lift his shoulder up. there is nothing about a rehab," Shaw said.
The promoter also states that Hopkins refused to take part in a final press conference with Dawson, and he turned down the opportunity to tape an episode of HBO's 'Face Off with Max Kellerman' - where Hopkins and Dawson would have spoken to each other face to face.
"Don't you all find it strange that we are all here doing a roundtable instead of a press conference, because Hopkins won't look him in the eye. We had the opportunity with HBO to do what's called the 'Face-Off with Max Kellerman' - and he didn't want to do it. Hopkins didn't want to do it. Chad was available," Shaw said.
The end result, Shaw expects Hopkins to take get punished until he quits in one of the rounds.
"I want to make a prediction. Chad is beating him bad, the fight will never go twelve rounds. Hopkins will not come out of the corner in one of those rounds. He will have some type of injury because he is not going to want [to suffer a] defeat to Chad Dawson in the ring," Shaw said.

Dawson doesn't bring much to the table. No reason for an almost 50 year old to fear the younger fighter. Out of all the guys hop has faced and all of a sudden he is suppose to fear Chad ochocinco…Post a Comment - View More User Comments (19)

Call of Duty Elite Costs $49.99 Per Year, This is What it Gets You
Here's what you get with your annual subscription.
Towards the end of the Call of Duty XP keynote, Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg detailed what Call of Duty Elite subscribers will get and how much it will cost.
We already know all of the stuff that Elite provides players for free. As for the premium side, Elite can be subscribed to one year at a time for $49.99.
The most important feature is access to all of that year's downloadable content. Not only will subscribers get access, they'll own the content so it doesn't disappear should the subscription come to an end. Given that four DLC releases over the course of a year would normally cost $60, this is immediately a good deal for any frequent DLC buyers.
That DLC will consist of more than just multiplayer maps -- there will be new modes and Spec Ops missions, too, with "20 pieces of content" in all. This will all be coming more often than the four-times-a-year schedule that Black Ops used; Elite subscribers will get new content on a monthly basis over the course of a "nine month DLC season." Specific numbers for how many maps, modes, and so on weren't shared.
Besides all the DLC business, Elite subscribers get eight times as much storage for replay videos as free users, the ability to level up their clans by competing in tournaments, daily tournaments where they can win real-world and virtual prizes (badges, trophies, iPads, and Jeeps are all possible prizes), and access to Elite TV (premium episodic content being made specifically for Elite members).
The daily tournaments will be managed and refereed by real humans on a 24/7 basis so as to ensure there is no cheating. You won't have to be an expert player to compete, either, as there will be tournaments for players of different skill levels -- definitely good news for those who don't have enough time to devote to becoming an expert, high-level player.
As for Elite TV, Hirshberg mentioned two programs in the works. Noob Tube comes from Jason Bateman and Will Arnett's production company DumbDumb, which we had previously heard about, will see fan-made videos get a smack-talk commentary track added by Bateman and Arnett. The other new program is Friday Night Fights from Ridley and Tony Scott. It'll begin filming this fall in Modern Warfare 3's multiplayer and sees two opposites -- Red Sox fans and Yankees fans, Democrats and Republicans, etc. -- compete against each other.
Hirshberg also confirmed recent reports about the Hardened Edition of MW3 -- it'll include a free year's membership to Elite. Expect more details about that shortly and keep checking our Call of Duty XP hub for all the latest.

Call of duty not the game to save money onPosted: Nov 10, 2011 12:00AM PST by TenaciousNinja9
If you want cheap games buy games on steam sale on PC and not the day they come out for console games. With call of duty all my friends are going to play it so I want to play it with them. The DLC is 50 included with paid elite all bough in one neat purchase. Thats great for me to buy them all at once and have them at home waiting to be downloaded when I come back from university and I want to play the new maps. It sounds like you can buy the maps as DLC 4 Packs of five maps or with elitle they chop up the same maps into 20 peices that are released more frequenty then the full map packs. Call of Duty is over priced compared to other games. But damnit if it can be fun and if you play the hell out of it is worth it.
Activision should stop releasing COD every year and take a break for a year let people enjoy WM3 and they are charging for DLC so its not like they would lose money.
But to put this in persepective I spent in Canada 120 dollars on limited edition gears of war 3 with 3 dollar Warranty with a season pass, I will spend 126 on COD standard (specials editions out a month and a half before release) with warranty and Elite sub for DLC. Battlefield 3 was 70 with bonus DLC dollars with a 3 dollar warranty.
Do I fear all games will become 70 plus 50 For dlc no only so many games can do this. COD is the exception not the rule if every game cost 120 for the full experience then it would be bad because games sales would be impacted and variety of games purchased would go down.
COD is cheap entertainmentPosted: Nov 03, 2011 12:00AM PST by DJgeekSD
Some of you are just young grasshoppers, but trying going to the bar for entertainment in a small town. I spend $10 for a good cigar, at least $50 on drinks if it is a cheap night out, and maybe a $20-$60 lap dance at the strip club... and for what? I won't remember the night because I was shit faced. So, if I do that 4 times a month :-) then that is about $300-$500 a month and this is being very conservative.
So complain about $50 for a advanced "social media" gaming tool... well maybe you need to get a job and understand why shit is not free. They are running a business and if you dont like it they will push you aside and fill your shoes with another player. Gaming is cheap entertainment and if you cannot afford it then maybe you should go play with sticks and rocks in the middle of the road. I am off my soap box.
I'm gonna buy it!!Posted: Nov 02, 2011 12:00AM PST by schizo88
Seeing how almost any game that comes out is $6o anyways. why the hell not? apparently everyone is strictly multiplayer and doesn't figure in the campaigns, or the other special modes like Spec ops or Zombies, everyones acting like they're paying $60 just to play multiplayer. I'm also gonna buy the Elite Membership, why not? Seeing how almost every online game I play I'm MVP in the matches on MW2 and BO, have won 934 out of 987 Wager Matches in BO, Why wouldn't I want to compete to get some god damn prizes?! Maybe if you guys had some skills You'd like the idea of winning stuff! Idiots
Who gave birth to all the babysPosted: Nov 01, 2011 12:00AM PST by ramzen
Wow no one said you had to buy the game or the elite. I am going out on this one and just guesssing most of you are kids or adults that have dead end jobs if you can't pay dont buy simple why complain it wont drop the price down. When i went in today to pay for my elite i asked what the sales looked like well gamestop has already hit over 3mill. With that said even if you wait for the price to drop like most ppl do it wont drop much tile next yr even a used game traded will go for $39.99 so all your belly aching dont mean anything besides you cant afford it and your jobs suck. people taht can buy it have the funds and dont complain.
AddPosted: Nov 01, 2011 12:00AM PST by ramzen
I also forgot to add did any of you go to the XP-Event if you didthen you should know the graphic drive they used is the same as BF3 and the weapons and play is no where close to Mw2. But whatever you dont buy its on you no one elses cares so stop the belly aching if i had a boob ide slap you with it.

Activison how to use a game as a money vacuumPosted: Oct 04, 2011 12:00AM PST by TenaciousNinja9
50 dollars for 60 dollars of dlc makes sense if you buy all the content and thats a big "if". Activsion charges as much as they can for call of duty. Frankly paying 50 for xbox live is fine by my because thats for the online of several games thats a given. The problem with call of duty is that because it is the most high profile franchise in terms of money and overhyped. Every year they come back with a new $60 game plus $30-$60. Call of duty nickel and dimes us. Were as Battlefield has free battlelog stats tracking, free beta on every platform, free special edition with pre order, and dedicated servers all for $60 purchase. Battlefield 3 $60 give or take $5 with some free dlc versus $60 for game plus $45-60 dollars. You get what you pay sort of at a premium just because it is call of duty. Only playing a lot of call of duty/buying all the content and game itself is like filling up on bread at a nice resturant its tastes good, but then you miss out on eating the other foods because you are full(amount of money you could spent on other things) were there are still other games (foods) to be enjoyed also.
They are just hopingPosted: Sep 07, 2011 12:00AM PST by Valcrist09
You buy into this BS then stop playing the game early so you esstially paid for 4 sets of DLC for nothing. So if you buy the game, plus this subscription plus if you have a xbox live sub, that is one expensive habbit. And people complaint about Pay to play games but yet buy into this bs..
........Posted: Sep 05, 2011 12:00AM PST by BetardxFoosier
Let's just hope other developers don't follow suit. This would be a bad pattern for all gamers' wallets.
oh snap!, so you telling me..Posted: Sep 04, 2011 12:00AM PST by Uru-Ninja
I have to pay $65 (with tax) for MW3, right? THEN! if I want to have the advantage over other people and have all the maps I have to pay $50 a month.. Hmmm
so your saying... Even though you guys release a call of duty game almost every year, all CoD are the same shit with minor changes..
so thats $115 a year to play a over hyped-redundant-useless game...
Activision... I am going to say this with all my heart and soul..
(clears throat)
Think about it this wayPosted: Sep 05, 2011 12:00AM PST by AgentTalon
A movie ticket cost about $10-15 for 2 hours of entertainment. If you buy MW3 and play it enought to buy Elite you will get at least 24 hours of play time for about $4.79 an hour. Already better than a movie ticket, if you play a lot of MW3 (I have 8 MP days in BO) you are paying $.59 an hour. SO is it really a bad entertainment value...I think not.
$50Posted: Sep 05, 2011 12:00AM PST by 6StringSamurai

Why the hostility? Company develops product. Company develops sequal. Company develops another sequal, all very similar to first product.
Where in there are they directly screwing with your life or finances? Don't purchase the product, don't pay the fee.
Of course i have options...Posted: Sep 05, 2011 12:00AM PST by Uru-Ninja
But this is not about that, is about how activision are a bunch of money greedy eating fags, they lost my respect when they released MW2 first map pack, come to find out that 3 out of the 4 maps were in the game or old.. so we had to pay 15- $20 for something that should of been in the game.. not only that but the whole IW situation..
This service they are providing is ridiculous, Halo, does the same thing FOR FREE! so why they feel they have to charge people? what makes them so special? they already have the top selling FPS of all times, I'm sure they made enough money with that, as well as, Blizzard's Word of Warcraft, I mean activision is banking in money.. and they want to take more out of us, if anything they should provide better games more community support , because if it wasn't for us, they wouldn't be shit..
Use to be Bungie but now its 343 studios are a perfect example of what a company should do..
Thats why all the hostility, Activision laughs in our face while they lie to us and tell us its the a different game, when in reality its not..
If you dont see it that way, then I would love to be in your shoes and be ignorant as you.
Ignorance is bliss
Wow look at all the amazing features. . .Posted: Sep 04, 2011 12:00AM PST by NinjaCast

Bungie, let us not forget,Posted: Sep 06, 2011 12:00AM PST by Porkchopsamwich
has had the best online state tracking set up for a long time. For a console shooter to be backed by a website like Bungie.net was an amazing treat, and now (surprise) Activision is going to sell the same thing with a few more bells and whistles. The guys who DO still care about the DLC will be getting this "elite service" because damnit, Call of Duty is apparently very important to them.
Bungie.net can, and still does, keep track of EVERY game of Halo you have ever played. You can see maps and numbers that show where you got kills, your scores, deaths, stats per gun, ranks, etc... It's still shocking how many people never took advantage of such an amazing, free online service.
The guys at DICE are great developers, and I very much appreciate the Battlefield games, but I am still surprised at how cool EA has been with not tainting this edition of the franchise. I think they're taking a ride in the backseat and letting DICE make the major moves;hopefully they stay back there.
I gotta hand it to ActivisionPosted: Sep 04, 2011 12:00AM PST by Mr.Donatti
They have mastered brainwashing people into thinking they need to buy the newest, re-skinned version of Call of Duty 4.
MarketingPosted: Sep 05, 2011 12:00AM PST by 6StringSamurai
That is the job of the marketing department of every company. Activision has some good ones!
marketing is rightPosted: Sep 06, 2011 12:00AM PST by Porkchopsamwich
So many console owners play these games it's not even funny. A buddy's buddy has it, so his buddy gets it too. They all 3 see a new commercial during the figure skating world championship and decide they should all get the new Call of Duty game because, hell, they like the one they have already and that commercial was SICK! Then their other buddy gets one too, and so forth.
Hop on any Call of Duty game and see how many people have ever played another game that's not EA sports. Most of them haven't tried another FPS game/franchise, especially Battlefield. It's a sad situation where masses of ignorant people only know what one game is like, thus they don't know when any game is flawed or, like you said, some cheesedick re-skinned version of their only game that was actually inovative.

Basically, you get all this useless, lame crap, but not something good like dedicated servers. The DLC is all I could see being worth it. Of course, I'll be too busy playing Gears 3 and Resistance 3. I refuse to bow down to Activision's greed, while companies like Epic and Insomniac give us stuff that we need for ALL shooters: dedicated servers.
FinallyPosted: Sep 04, 2011 12:00AM PST by jumptomjump
Finally a Hardened Edition worth snagging. Seeing as I missed out on a dope pair of Night Vision goggles in the previous title, I needed something VERY enticing to sway me onto the near $100 release. The addition of the elite status for a year is fantastic. I will be picking this up.
Activision wants my walletPosted: Sep 04, 2011 12:00AM PST by Masta_C
But they aint getting it. $60 for the game, and $50 for a year of playing said game (if I choose of course). Then in 2012 I will get another $60 game and have to pay another $50 to play said game (may still be my choice or may be mandatory by then). Fuck Activision. Granted they make great games, but none of them are worth $110 per year.
Hey!Posted: Sep 04, 2011 12:00AM PST by BananaJane
Instead of making a new game every year let's just make one game and charge the same price every year! Genius!
Arguing is pointless....Posted: Sep 03, 2011 12:00AM PST by pantherx69
...neither side will convince the other so just vote with your wallet. If you think this business model sucks don't buy the game..or better yet don't buy anything published by Activision. If you think it's not a problem the spend your money.
Personally I'll wait and see how this plays out before I buy MW3. That said, while I've always favored Battlefield over COD:MW myself (I've played both btw), now that is EA using BF3 to force Origin on gamers there's a good chance I won't be getting either game.
I guess since Microsoft started charging money for free content on the Xbox everybody want a piece of that action.
Not sure why DLC is so big for CoDPosted: Sep 03, 2011 12:00AM PST by Clone01

isn't it obvious?Posted: Sep 06, 2011 12:00AM PST by Porkchopsamwich
These people are retarded and will buy anything. Like a pair of black ops underwear, or maybe a Jeep with black ops decals if someone with a lot of cash was so inclined.
If an option existed to pay 20 dollars to make your call of duty character have a sparkly, pink hat, then there would be a lot of sparkly, pink hats purchased. It's so easy for them to sell all this shit and they're absolutely loving it.
HmmPosted: Sep 03, 2011 12:00AM PST by GunnyMcSword
Either buy 2 games (Have quite a few of them in mind already in the next few months) or COD 2k12. Something about annual releases really piss me off as a consumer. But hell if people are buying I can't blame them for selling. I just won't be one of them anymore.
IncrediblePosted: Sep 03, 2011 12:00AM PST by AStrangeDisease
DLC is cool if you want to extend the life of your games. The problem with this CoD Elite system is that CoD games are released every single year. It never has a chance to get old and therefore doesn't need DLC. You wont even be playing it next year! It seems like an absurd amount of money to spend on such a short lived experience.
Halo games are 2-3 years apart and not more than $20/year for DLC. They even add a lot of new maps for FREE.
QuestionPosted: Sep 03, 2011 12:00AM PST by secularsage
So, if an account gets permbanned from XBL for cheating/hacking/infecting, do the Elite players still get their DLC content, or do they have to resubscribe to Elite as well?
Just curious.
NothingPosted: Sep 03, 2011 12:00AM PST by AStrangeDisease
If you get perma-banned from XBL, your dumb-ass gets nothing since you need to be online to get DLC.
Its very entertainingPosted: Sep 03, 2011 12:00AM PST by Funkymonkey_777
Its funny to see so many people that are just accepting this as a good deal because you would normally have to pay 60 additional dollars per year to get all the DLC that is released for the game. If you are looking at it that way then yes, it is logically a good deal. What's funny is that all of you sheep have completely accepted the fact that every year you have to buy a new game and then shell out $60 more bucks for the content. Think about the actual reality of the situation for a second. YOU ARE PAYING THE EQUIVALENT OF AN ENTIRE SECOND GAME JUST TO GET 20 OR SO NEW MAPS. I have purchased 3 of the 4 map packs this year so I am well aware of the cycle of DLC that Activision is churning out, but I can at least see how overpriced it is. They offer absolutley nothing new in these DLC outings except new maps to play. No new items guns or game modes... Simply maps. The maps are often rehashed maps from previous COD's at that. Now I enjoy COD as much as the next guy, but lets get real. This whole DLC cycle of overpriced maps for underwhelming content is bullshit and if you aren't able to see it for what it is you're just buying into exactly what will make COD another rousing success year after year even though the quality of content and gameplay hasn't gotten any better since MW2. The only thing worse than lying to other people is lying to yourself...
FlawedPosted: Sep 03, 2011 12:00AM PST by 6StringSamurai
"you have to buy a new game and then shell out $60 more bucks for the content. ". That statement is flawed. Nobody is forced to buy MW3 or the Elite content. It's all optional so no one really has a right to complain about it.
idiotPosted: Sep 03, 2011 12:00AM PST by girthalamule
So who asked you about your opinion? If people want to spend money on entertainment what does it matter to you? I can't wait for all of the DLC it has better value to me than a lot of other entertainment out there like a 10$ 2hour trip to the movies or a 80$ 3hour concert. Just because people like to spend their own hard earned money on a video game doesn't mean they are sheep.

It's no wonder why Infinity Ward left this greedy company. Unfortunetly, Activision's releasing the new iteration of COD every year, just like it did Guitar Hero, people will continue to shell out money to line their pockets. Unlike GH however, I don't see an end in sight for CODs annual presence. People will still buy this subscription service.

I fear the day when I have to pay $60+ for an RPG thats single player, not an MMO, and then shell out another $50 for a season pass to get all the games content... Its as if the gaming industry wants to function like television, but the thing is Premium TV stations like HBO or Showtime don't account for anywhere near the total viewership of television. First the industry wants to double dip on game purchases (wanting a piece of the resale value of used titles) which seems very movie industry inspired, what with the cost to see a movie in a theater and then the cost to purchase it on DVD/Blu-ray/Digital media later on down the line being a clear inspiration, now this. What the hell?! I long for the days of consoles that weren't even internet connected, because we didn't have to deal with shit like this

Last Saturday, I was woken up by this loud noise that made my entire house sound like it was crashing under a huge tin meteor. I can't even describe you what it was like to get out of bed and run down the stairs like a madman, dragging my wife to the front door and yelling at her "Get out of the house!", while running towards what seemed to be the source of the noise: the kitchen.
There was no WWIII in my kitchen, but there was a full riot going on in the pantry. I opened the door — half-awake and panicked like hell — and about two dozen cans rolled over my feet and then all over the kitchen floor. It took me a few seconds to get what happened. The wooden cabinet had crashed. It was pretty old, indeed, and I might have overloaded it, poor bastard. The result? One beautiful morning spent chasing cans around the kitchen and carefully collecting broken glass off the pantry floor (among the victims were a few glass jars, as well).
So here I am today, looking for an easy DIY project to build myself a brand new solid cabinet for all the runaway cans. I found quite a lot of them, actually: small ones that you fix on the wall, tall ones that take up an entire wall and even an amazing idea for shoving a whole pantry in the tiniest place you can imagine:
A quick note from our founder -
Over the past year, my friend Dave at PaleoHacks has been working on a secret cookbook with world-renowned Le Cordon Bleu chef Peter Servold.
Well, today this new incredible Paleo Cookbook is finally available to be shipped right to your door for FREE!
That's right - as a special launch promotion, we're offering our brand new Paleo fat loss cookbook to you for free (Chef Pete lost 60 lbs using these recipes!) - All you have to do is just cover a small shipping cost (international shipping is a bit more).
Get your FREE copy of Paleo Eats Here. (Grab this today, because we only ordered a small batch of these cookbooks for this freebie promotion, and they will sell out FAST!)

I love how ingenious this is! I haven't starting working on this one yet, I have to get the other one done, but I have to admit this looks very promising. And the site offers you all the information you need to build it, like the Shopping List, Tools and Supplies and detailed Directions. You can find all this here, if you want to build one for your kitchen (or any other space that's proper for a tiny pantry).
Now let me get back to my aching problem: a good, solid cabinet that can hold all my canned foods. I don't have an astronomical budget and I'm not a master at woodworking either, so my mission was quite difficult. Thank God, a friend of mine ended my misery and sent me a wikihow link that proved to be my solution. A DIY Rotating Canned Food Shelf project that he built last year and held all the cans he's stuffed in there ever since. Plus, it takes the whole rotation process off your back.
source: www.wikihow.com
That's how it's supposed to look at the end. Until you get here, there are 14 steps you need to take:
1. Decide the size and number of shelves you need. This article will cover a 5-shelf system that is 32 inches wide, 24 inches deep, and 64 inches tall.
2. Cut the plywood on a table saw or with a circular saw.
- Cut one full sheet in half length-wise. From each half, cut a shelf at 32 inches (should leave 64 inches for the sides).
- Cut the other full sheet in half length-wise also. Cut each half in thirds at 32 inches each.
- Cut the half-sheet of plywood at 32 inches. Cut the 32×48 piece in half (24×32). Set the remaining 16×48 piece aside for later. You should have 2-24×64 and 10-24×32.
3. Using a router and straight edge, rout slots into the sides 3/4 inch wide and 1/4 inch deep. (An alternative is to attach rails that the shelves will rest on. The slot method is stronger and will not interfere with the rolling cans.)
- The shelves need to have a 1:12 slope (1 inch drop for each 12 inches run).
- For standard cans, the distance from the top of the input shelf to the top of the corresponding output shelf is 8 inches.
- For standard cans, the distance from the top of the input shelf, to the top of the nextoutput shelf is 4 inches.
- For standard cans, the input shelf is 3.5 inches shorter than the output shelf.
- For larger cans, add 1 inch to these dimensions.
- Draw outlines for all slots.
4. Trim the shelves. The finished outside width of the shelf system will be 32 inches. The shelves will fit in a slot 1/4 inch deep. Therefore, the width of the shelves is actually 31 inches. Each input shelf also needs to be trimmed on the back to allow a space for the can to drop. For standard cans, this gap needs to be 3.5 inches.
5. Lay one side flat on the ground with the slots facing up. Insert the shelves into the slots and place the other side on top.
6. Drive 2 inch screws through the side and into the edge of the shelf. Put two screws in each shelf.
7. Turn the unit over and drive screws in this side also.
8. Turn the unit over so the back is facing up. Attach the pieces that were cut from the input shelves to prevent the cans from falling off the back.
9. From the 16×48 scrap plywood, cut 5 pieces 2×32 inch. Turn the unit over so the front is facing up. Attach the 2×32 inch pieces to block the cans from falling out the front.
10. With the remaining plywood and/or additional scrap you have laying around, build a base that the casters will attach to. Stand the unit upright and attach it to the base.
11. Decide the configuration of cans that you need. Each row will need to be about 1/2 inch wider than the can. On the table saw, rip 1/4 inch-wide strips from plywood, MDF, or dimensional lumber. MDF and lumber work best. Attach them to the shelves with wood glue.
12. One problem you may have is the cans getting misaligned when they drop down.
A solution for this is to add a divider connecting the row dividing strips, filling the gap. Cut cardboard in a trapezoidal shape to fit over the two row dividers. Cut out the center material of the cardboard and glue the flaps to the row dividers.
13. Another problem occurs when the gap is too large for the cans. The can can get blocked, preventing other cans from dropping down.
A solution for this problem is to glue wedges at the back of the lower shelf. This will cause the can to roll forward before the next one locks it in. The wedges can be cut from the same material used for the row dividers. They should be large enough to move the can forward.
14. Start using the rotating canned food shelf. Add labels to the front of each row to identify the contents and load cans in the top portion of each shelf. (www.wikihow.com)
Hope this will help you someday, it looks like the best kind of cabinet for canned goods. If you already have one of these, do share your opinion about its functionality in the comments section. Also, if you've built it yourself, some tips would be most welcome. I'm sure everyone would appreciate them.

Acoustic melodrama.
"Its easy to get swept away into this artists mind and melodies." -Angela Mastrogiacomo Infectious Magazine
Justin Goodrich (born December 17th, 1986) is an American singer-songwriter and actor. Independently he has released two solo-acoustic EP's, "A Revenant Affair" and "Fallen Angels, Tears of Stone", and is releasing a new, full band EP titled "In Between The Panels" due out April 22, 2014. He has appeared in the SyFy Television network's "The Haunted Boy: Secret Diary of The Exorcist" as 'the haunted boy', and also briefly in the Walt Disney sci-fi film "The Surrogates".
Justin has made several appearances at local venues such as Hard Rock Cafe, Paradise Lounge, Lowell Memorial Auditorium, Roxy and more. He performed to a packed house singing with the burlesque troop The Betsi Feathers at the Coolidge Corner Theatre in Cambridge, MA, and to over 50,000 viewers and listeners over Skype for the Twit Broadcasting Network Podcast 'NSFW'.
His upcoming release 'In Between The Panels' was written, performed and recorded by Justin, and produced by he and Adam Billitzer, who together co-own Diorama Records, home base for their music, video and film projects.
In The Night
Written By: Justin Goodrich
The devil takes her toll on your heart
She'll break you down, break you down
Till you fall to the ground
You're never one for second guessing
When everything that you want
Comes to tear you apart
Feeling of falling never ending
Coming down, coming down
Till there's no one around
I've been here trying to escape this
Never done, never done
Till I'm long dead and gone
And you're fear of falling apart
In The Night
Take one last look in these eyes
Before the dark consumes thy light
No force of fear of ending
Could break the bond we make tonight
And you're fear of falling apart
Won't stop you from dancing
Won't stop you from taking those chances
In The Night
The devil takes her toll on your heart
She'll break you down, break you down
Till you fall to the ground
You're never one for second guessing
When everything that you want
Comes to tear you apart
After All These Years
Written By: Justin Goodrich
What used to be used to comfort me
Lost in the confines of my fragile state of mind
I wished for certainty and certainly it ensured me
That the answers are hard to find
Face to face, mirrored round and round
Madly spinning, taunting, tearing me for more
My conscience coincides cohesively it seems
But never lets me make a sound
I'm leaving you behind
Know why?
'Cause after all these years
I've shattered all my fears
Crawling towards the light
Will this begin or end tonight?
Where to go? Where to turn too now?
Left to the silence of my conscience so loud
Walking in certainty of circles burning
Crossing all the bridges of my life
I'm leaving you behind
Know why?
'Cause after all these years
I've shattered all my fears
Walking towards the light
Will this begin or end tonight?
Love You Still
Written By: Justin Goodrich
I never wanted it to end this way
I never wanted you to go away
I know that I love, love you still
I know you didn't mean the words you said
When you were up and crying in your bed
I know that you love, love me still
So here we are
So far from grace
As lifeless tears
Fall down your face
Oh how I can't wait
To meet you again
And hear you say
To me
I never wanted it to end this way
I never wanted you to go away
I know that I love, love you still
Struggle To Breathe
Written By: Justin Goodrich
well our luck ran out
as we started to get by
take a deep breathe dear
as i wipe the tears from your eyes
is there a way to see the light
from the depths of the hole we lie
well we're in this thing together
i'll be right by your side
i'll hold your hand
through the darkness as we rise
i'll be your man
as we make our way out of this uphill fight
don't be afraid
as we make our way
my love stands strong
as we struggle to breathe
feel a cool wind blow
it's the hope of a new day come
don't stop fighting now
we've only just begun
my heart is yours
i'd give my last breathe to hear you say
my life it starts
and ends with one look into your eyes
don't be afraid
as we make our way
our love stands strong
as we struggle to breathe
lay your head in my hand
and rest your weary heart
no one'll ever hurt you now
and we'll never be apart
speak from your heart
and tell me the words i know are true
we'll never die
our hearts were destined from the start
now don't be afraid
as we make our way
our love stands strong
as we struggle to breathe
A Revenant Affair (07/25/2011)
Fallen Angels, Tears of Stone (07/25/2011)
In Between The Panels (04/22/2014)
Set List
As a solo acoustic artist, I adapt to any stage and crowd of any size, atmosphere and mood. (And can also have a 3-5 piece band.)
My set lists can range up to several hours worth of original material, or cover material. With covers, I typically like to perform popular songs from the 50's through the 90's, with a special focus on the melodic, catchy and crooning.
-Example Set List:-
Alison (Elvis Costello cover)
In The Night (original)
This Magic Moment (Jay & The Americans cover)
Deeper Inside (original)
Just Like Heaven (The Cure cover)
In Between The Panels (original)
Love You Still (original)
Jockey Full of Bourbon (Tom Waits cover)
Last Stop (original)
(I like to mix originals and covers to make it fun for everyone, myself and the audience. But I can adapt to the requests of the venue or crowd.)

Karly Wilson
Hello! My name is Karly Wilson and I am an MNO Infinite Reach Facilitator for Carleton University. I am in my third year of a Bachelor of Science in Food Science and Nutrition with a minor in Biology. I have also obtained a college diploma in Pre-Health Sciences/General Arts and Science at Algonquin College. Coming from a small town in southern Manitoba, I understanding how overwhelming and challenging it is to be on your own in a big city and outside of your comfort zone. I am the second oldest of six kids and the first to attend university in my family. I enjoy reading, crafts (dreamcatchers recently), exercising and my golden retriever, Lola. This past summer I was hired by the Aboriginal Summer Student Program at Health Canada and had the opportunity to learn more about my Métis culture among other young Métis students. This school year, I have a craving to extend my knowledge and understanding and hope you will join me on the journey. I am very excited to meet other Métis students here at Carleton University! If you need any help or advice or would like to chat, please don't hesitate to contact me: firstname.lastname@example.com
Jordi Playne
My name is Jordi Playne and I am a fourth year Sociology undergrad student at Carleton University. Aside from attending post-secondary full-time I also compete competitively for the university as a figure skater therefore my life can be very chaotic at times. However I manage to make it all work. This past summer I had the opportunity to work with the Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) which presented itself to be one of the most gratifying and exuberant summers I have had. I am very enthusiastic and have a very positive outlook on life; therefore, it is rare to see me without a smile on my face. In conclusion, I am very excited and honoured to be a MNO Infinite Reach Facilitator and look forward to meeting and connecting with so many Métis youth from around the province.

Navman MY500XT GPS unit
Navman's latest top-of-the-range GPS unit boasts a capacitive touch screen and a new user interface
- Design, capacitive touch screen, choice of glide or tap interfaces, keyword search, traffic capabilities, lane guidance and 3D junction views
- Overzealous school zone alerts, map is missing red light cameras and 'no right turns', screen transitions are a little sluggish, not all phones compatible with Bluetooth, TMC antenna is built into charger not the actual unit.
Bottom Line
The Navman MY500XT's capacitive touch screen is a nice inclusion on this feature-packed GPS. The glide interface won't be to everyone's liking but it's much more responsive than previous versions and can now be turned off. The maps aren't perfect and seem to lack a little detail when compared to competitors, but there remains plenty to like about the MY500XT.
Price$ 549.00 (AUD)
A replacement for Navman's previous flagship GPS unit, the S300T, the MY500XT is the hero of the company's latest MY series. It features built-in traffic support, Australian Lonely Planet and Wcities guides and Bluetooth hands-free capabilities. It also has a capacitive touch screen.
The Navman MY500XT GPS unit has borrowed design cues from the earlier S300T, with a stylish silver casing. Gloss black plastic surrounds the screen, and it has chrome sides and a brushed silver rear with an etched Navman logo, making this one of the more attractive GPS units on the market. A touch-sensitive menu button sits to the left of the screen (and it's much more responsive than the S300T's) and a power switch on top also enables you to put the unit to sleep when it's not in use. Unfortunately, the MY500XT is rather slow to power up after being put to sleep.
The Navman MY500XT has large 4.7in capacitive touch screen that's far more responsive than its predecessor's resistive touch screen. The screen has a glossy finish, though, so reflections can pose some issues and viewing angles aren't great. The capacitive screen makes Navman's glide touch user interface easier to use and less frustrating than the S-Series Platinum models.
Navman has given users the choice to disable the glide system in favour of a regular tapping interface like those on most other GPS units, but we found the glide system responsive enough to prefer it. Apart from some screen transitions feeling a little sluggish, the MY500XT is intuitive to use and menus look appealing.
Navman has tweaked the search method, with a single find menu and the ability to search via keywords, postcodes, or by picking an area on the map screen. Instead of address entry being a three-stage process (city, street, then house number), you type the full address in one screen and the MY500XT will present a list of options. This is much faster than having to browse through multiple screens. In addition, you can plan multi-stop trips and search for points of interest (POIs) through Google and TrueLocal (which is an online database of over 1.3 million businesses). To do so, you'll need to connect the MY500XT to your phone via Bluetooth and enable it to use to Internet; we tried to connect to an Apple iPhone 3GS and then a Nokia 6700 classic, but could not get the connection to work. Neither of these models is on Navman's list of compatible phones, however.
The large screen means the Navman MY500XT's map screen is spacious and easy to read. Street names are clear and a small yellow arrow points to each street to minimise confusion. Tapping the left edge of the screen brings up a scrollable options menu. While you're on a route, this can display a list of all the turns, a complete overview of the route and information including distance to go, ETA and average speed.
Performance is adequate but there are a few issues. The most annoying is the overzealous school zone warnings, which always seemed to appear on roads that weren't even school zones. This led us to turn school zone warnings off completely. The maps also have a tendency to miss a number of 'no right turns', and also didn't warn of some red light cameras that we passed. The MY500XT includes a lifetime subscription to the SUNA Traffic Channel, but the TMC antenna is built into the car charger, so this will need to be plugged in for this feature to work. We would have preferred the antenna to be built into the unit itself, so the charger and annoying cable didn't have to be dangling along the dashboard.
We really liked the lane guidance and 3D junction views (even if the former is only really useful for freeways and motorways). Traffic light locations are incorporated into the voice guidance (for example "turn left at the traffic light"), which is also handy for keeping your eyes on the road, as are speed sign alerts. We aren't so fond of 3D landmarks. In our opinion they're a gimmick and can make the map screen unnecessarily cluttered.
Voice guidance is clear and comprehensive and the MY500XT deals with Australian pronunciation quite well. Audio is loud and clear, but you need to delve into the settings menu to adjust it; you can only mute or un-mute audio from the map screen once a route is selected.
Navman has included both Lonely Planet and Wcities guides for all Australian cities on the MY500XT. Unlike the Google and TrueLocal search functions, the city guides are installed on the unit itself, so there is no need to connect to your mobile phone. Both guides provide POIs under attractions, business, dining, essentials, hotels, nightlife and shopping categories. Once a POI is found, you can navigate to the destination, save it as a favourite, phone it (if a number is provided) or explore the surrounding area on the map screen.
Other features include the ability to instantly capture a location, a digital log book, a built-in FM transmitter, Navpix and downloadable live weather updates. Navman claims the MY500XT lasts up to three hours, but we only managed to run it for a little over two and half hours before it needed a recharge.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Its no secret that the Magic are looking like contenders for the title with every passing basket. Many will argue that they have been faced against lightweight opponents; others will say they are dominant.
With the Atlanta Hawks dispatched in a "blowout" sweep, the Celtics will be looking to shut them down and advance past to the NBA Finals.
Dwight Howard will be key, but here are other factors that could make the Magic reach the NBA Finals in a really short 12 games.
I know getting swept after beating Cleveland is a long-shot, but NBA is where amazing happens.
Also, here are the reasons the Celtics can work harder and make it to the Finals.

"Enlarge stocking pattern and trace onto paper. " I don't see this pattern to download, therefore I'm assuming it's included with the Ka-Jinker tool. But this should be made clear in the article or the download provided if appropriate.

Lenore Skomal: Fried over sass served up for lunch
'I thought you were going to punch her in the face."
When my friend said this, I had to admit, it crossed my mind. But as a pacifist -- in theory, at least -- it's nothing I would've acted upon. Unless provoked.
We were hungry. Eat-your-own-hand kind of hungry. Close to noon with no grub since the night before when you drank a little too much red wine. That kind of hungry.
So hungry, we chose not to suffer the 40-minute wait at Cracker Barrel, where hopeful customers sardined themselves into the gift shop. Instead, we trekked back to a small restaurant in my friend's hometown, over the objections of his wife, who warned us about the wait staff.
Hey, we were starving. How bad could they be? Well, that's a Murphy's Law question -- you know, a self-fulfilling prediction.
We waited for the young girl behind the counter to finally look up, which she did with a sneer as she pointed to the hostess station. We apparently were at the pay station. Idiots, us. A young man with a large wound on his elbow hastily taped over with duck tape, sat us with nary a word. I asked if we could get some coffee to stem my desire to stuff the bacon off the nearest table into my mouth, and he chided, "You have to ask your waitress for that."
Ten minutes later, a dazed girl, whose nametag read Nina, wandered over to us as if by accident. "I'm busy right now, but I'll be right back," she said, handing us menus.
"Coffee?" I asked.
She glanced back over her shoulder. "I said I'd be right back," and disappeared into what I assumed was the kitchen.
"Right back" must be roughly 10 minutes in restaurant parlance. We memorized the menu in the meantime. When she materialized again, sans coffee, she slowly pulled out her pad and we pleaded in harmony, "Coffee, please." She carefully wrote it down. I asked if I could order lunch, since we'd been there for a half-hour and it was high noon.
"Huh?" she asked, her lower jaw hanging open in shock as if I'd asked her to strip naked. "What?" would have been fine, but "huh?" That was the tipping point. She meandered off again ostensibly to find an answer to my question, never to be seen again. "Right back" came and went and we left, our table looking as if we'd never been there.
I shook my fist to the sky and cried out, "Damn you, Nina! As God is my witness, I'll never go hungry again."

I think I'd try doing that if I had a mouse. xD Another thing that's just so much NOOOOOOOOOO is when you get up awesome speed, click on something like 5k points, and the captcha just looks AWFUL. Like, you really really can't tell what numbers you're shown on the screen.
That's happened to me a couple of times. Makes me want to bawl.

Aargh, yes. Every millisecond of delay makes me panic. Also, ever accidentally clicked an item twice? It opens up the window twice, but the second window overlaps in such a way that you can't see the captcha. So you have to close one, and then type in. And then you're already ******.
