Spring Tweet Cleaning & Wipe Your Face(book)
Posted 05-17-2009 at 11:19 AM by
I know that so many Virtual Assistants are now using Social Media and Social Networking to increase their own online visibility and connect with potential clients. I also know that more and more Virtual Assistants are assisting their clients with Social Media related tasks. As with any medium that you are using to market yourself or for your clients, there is always a need to stop every once and a while to evaluate or re-evaluate what you are doing, its effectiveness and how you might be more innovative with your current social media strategy.
So let's consider some ways you can clean-up or freshen up your social media and social networking accounts.
[COLOR=darkred]~Your Following and Your Followers[/COLOR]
Have you checked lately who are following that is now not following you? Is it time to reciprocate that non-follow by giving that Tweeter the boot? Granted, there are some folks out there worth following who do not also follow back. But it's certainly worth a check of who you are following that's now not following back. Unfortunately, there are spammer people out there who will do mass follows and then do mass unfollows simply because they like to collect followers and increase their following numbers. I use [COLOR=darkred][URL="http://friendorfollow.com/"]Friend or Follow[/URL][/COLOR] as an easy way to take a look at who I'm following that's not following back.
[COLOR=darkred]~Find some new people to follow[/COLOR]
There are several good ways to do this. You can use [URL="http://twitter.grader.com/"]Twitter Grader[/URL], which, as long as you following them, they will work to list recommendations of people you can follow.
You can also use some of the Twitter directories out there to search for key people you want to follow. Among them are [URL="http://wefollow.com"]WeFollow[/URL], [URL="http://twibs.com/"]Twibs[/URL], and [URL="http://twellow.com"]Twellow[/URL]. (Of course, it's also a good idea to list yourself in these directories if you have not already done so.)
Another good way to find a variety of active tweeting folks to follow is to watch your twitter stream...when you see someone who you already follow and who you find to be a quality twitterer, then go to their profile page and see who they are replying to. Check out those folks they are replying to.
Other Spring Clean up twips for your Twitter Account are:
~Upload a new background or avatar
~Freshen up your profile description
~Find new & interesting items to tweet
~Set up some tweets to go out in Tweetlater so your Twitter account remains fresh even when you don't have time to tweet.
[COLOR=darkred]~Consider How You Use Facebook[/COLOR]
Many people struggle with how to use Facebook for their personal use and professional use. If you haven't already thought this through, then now is the time to do so. First, review and understand the privacy settings for your personal profile. This is key if you post both personal and professional items on your profile. I believe this is especially important when it comes to other people's ability to either view or tag your photos or videos. Also, be sure take advantage of segmenting your "friends" into various lists so that you can quickly and easy include or exclude folks from certain updates or information as well as being able to see the updates or links easily of those you consider to family/personal friends or those who professional acquaintances as not everything they post will show up in your newstream and you want to be sure you don't miss out on something important that a professional contact might have posted.
Also, feel free to delete any "friends" from your account if you no longer want that person to have access to your profile. Throw out social norms and conventions- if they annoy you or otherwise offend you, then "buh-bye" is a perfectly reasonable option. They do not receive a notice that you have unfriended them. Perhaps being "friends" with them is no longer relevant for you. You can also choose to "hide" them from your newstream instead of unfriending them. This means you can still be friends with but they are no longer sucking up valuable real estate in your newstream with useless, self-promoting junk that you are not interested in.
[COLOR=darkred]Secondly, make sure you are using the status updates to your advantage.[/COLOR] Many people will have all of their tweets post as status messages. Consider this option carefully. If you are a prolific tweeter, people may tire of seeing you in their newstream constantly- especially if you are responding to other Twitterers and those tweets won't make any sense to people who see them on Facebook. I use selective Twitter update application. Once you install this, then you gain control over which tweets post to your Facebook profile simply by adding #fb at the end of your tweet. Another benefit of this is that when your status update posts to Facebook, then your Twitter ID is posted as a link, so people can then click through to your Twitter account.
[COLOR=darkred]~Set up your business fan page![/COLOR]
I cannot stress enough how beneficial these pages can be for your overall marketing strategy. Set up a page with good content, be sure to include keywords in the title of your page and be inventive! Create special tabs where people can find specific information about you or your business or special offers. Keep the content fresh. Post a status update either daily or once a week. Encourage participation or discussion. Granted, these are all things I've been woefully poor at doing for my own page, but that's probably because I'm busy doing them for my clients! Also, don't forget to publicize the heck out of your page. Ask people to join, ask your friend to ask their friends to join...etc, etc, etc.
[COLOR=darkred]~Make comments or click the "like" link on other people posts or status updates. [/COLOR]
This increase your visibility to all of that person's friends and is an easy way to stay connected with others.
So there you have it. My tips for freshening up or cleaning up Twitter and Facebook accounts. If you are thinking you need to take a spring break from social media for awhile, then go ahead. Another Social Media VA that I know recently "killed" her whole Twitter account because she felt she was spending too much time with it. A bit extreme perhaps, but admirable if it's what she needed to do.
Tweet ya later!

If You're New to Twitter....
Posted 01-07-2009 at 11:20 PM by
I am happy to see so many of us on Twitter and so many more Virtual Assistants joining daily. Twitter really is a great platform for networking vitually and quickly becoming a must have tool in the toolbox for Virtual Assistants.
However, there are a couple of things that I wanted to mention which are really important when you set up your Twitter profile.
1. Upload an avatar. People are hesitant to follow other Twitterers who have the stock brown/blue Twitter avatar.
2. Do not lock your updates. This will also keep people from following you and one of the key points to Twitter is to increase your sphere of influence by increasing the number of people who are interested in following you.
3. List your real name. Your Twitter ID can be whatever you want it to be (although I recommend using something that is close to your business name or otherwise indicates what you do). But I recommend that you list your real name in the name area on your profile. As a business person, people want to know that who they are dealing with. Think about your other profiles on Facebook, LinkedIn and others. You post your real name there so it just makes sense that you list it on there.
4. List an interesting and professional bio. People DO read these and often a Twitterer's bio will play a big part in someone choosing to follow you.
And finally, I leave with [URL="http://mashable.com/2009/01/06/twitter-follow-fail/"]this post[/URL] from Mashable about some of the "types" of Twitterers that don't get followed so we can all avoid some of these pitfalls.

Have You Used Your TwitWall Yet?
Posted 12-20-2008 at 04:48 PM by
[URL="http://twitwall.com"]TwitWall[/URL] is something everyone who has a Twitter account automatically has access to. It is like a blogging feature that for your Twitter Account. You can write posts, add video or pictures and once you post it to your [URL="http://twitwall.com"]Twitwall[/URL], it will automatically tweet the post for you. There's also a button that other people can click on if they want to re-tweet your post.
The other thing I really like about about Twitwall is over in your profile area it lists your twitter bio, your twitter grade (as determined by Hubspot) and you can post links to all your social media profiles and your website or blog. I've posted to my Twitwall a couple of times and you take a peek [URL="http://twitwall.com/view/?who=jkvirtualoffice"][COLOR="DarkRed"][B]HERE[/B][/COLOR][/URL] if you're interested in what I've posted on my Twitwall.
Twitwall is yet another great way to be seen and to connect with your followers and target audience. It's an easy tool to use and the guy who runs the site is great and frequently tweets about new posts. Take a look at this image from my Twitwall:
If look down at the bottom of the picture you'll see that today, he has chosen to give love to Virtual Assistants who are using Twitwall. (That's me in the bottom right corner.) This means that essentially, for people who log in to use Twitwall today, they will have the opportunity to see links to my and some fellow Virtual Assistants TwitWalls and Twitter profiles. These are the kinds of opportunities that can happen at anytime and are all the more reason why you should take advantage of easy tools like this one to increase your online visibility.
Here's an easy recommendation: The blog posts that you write here...copy them and go paste them to your Twitwall. Get maximum exposure out of your posts. Include in your twitwall post that they can see the original post here on the forums and then include a link to your VA Forum profile. The more people can see you are interactive online and with your industry's community, the more you instill confidence in potential clients that you are a legitimate and professional Virtual Assistant.
Get started today. Set up your Twitwall profile and post a little something. Let me know when you've done so and I'll go re-tweet it to all my followers!

Can I Share My Winter Woes?
Posted 12-17-2008 at 03:49 PM by
This has been a crazy week...the snow, ice and freezing temps have kept the schools closed all week so far and the rumor is that they'll probably stay closed for the rest of the week. I don't mind having my son home so much, but I typically use the time he's in school to get a good chunk of my work done for the day without interruptions- and I feel guilty letting him just sit and play video games too much during the day. He also has a head cold so going outside to play hasn't been at the top of my list of things to do.
On top of that, we had no power on Monday for 6 1/2 hours while it was about 20 degrees out AND our Christmas tree fell over (again!) yesterday with ornaments flying everywhere and water pouring out of the tree holder. So, my husband took it outside last night and wrangled with it for a good hour to get it more stable...which it now is, but the hour of wrangling took it's toll on the poor tree which now looks like what I've termed "The Worst Christmas Tree Ever." So far only the lights are back on the tree as I haven't had the energy to tackle redecorating the tree for the third time. As of yet, there are no presents under the tree since the carpet is still damp from all the water that's spilled there (not that the presents are even wrapped yet!).
While I was trying to vacuum up all the pine needles, I discovered the vacuum was now clogged and so I began to wrestle with that thing on the kitchen floor with more dirt, dust and pine needles rapidly taking over the kitchen floor. Eventually, I had to employ the help of my husband and a coat hanger. He's home today because we have about 5 inches of snow on the ground. And it's a good thing he is home, because right after the great vacuum fiasco, I discovered that we did not have water. Turns out the outside faucet pipe froze and broke and the only way to stop the gushing water, was to turn off the water pump. Now, my poor husband has had to trek out on our snowy and ice covered roads to the hardware store for something to fix the pipe and the faucet so we can have water again. Otherwise, we are probably headed over the in-laws for the night!
Surprisingly, I'm actually finding this all rather comical- at least now anyway. :gigglebox: Yesterday was another matter as I lie under the newly-toppled Christmas tree yelling words that I know my 5 year old should not be hearing. Today, it just seems like something out of Chevy Chase's Christmas Vacation- only without the crazy relatives, at least the weather has kept them from showing up.
I hope everyone else is having a more uneventful holiday/winter season than I am, but just in case you are bored and need a little excitement, head on over to our house, where the fun just never seems to end.

Twitter Tips for Virtual Assistants
Posted 12-13-2008 at 11:13 PM by
So I just created a thread [URL="http://www.virtualassistantforums.com/social-networking/guides-using-twitter-6623#post56636"][B][COLOR="DarkRed"]HERE[/COLOR][/B][/URL] in the Social Networking area with some links to different Twitter resources to help you get started with using Twitter and with getting familiar with how Twittering works. But I thought I would use the wonderful new blog feature to write some more specifics about how Virtual Assistants can use Twitter not only for their own marketing and networking purposes, but as members of the larger Virtual Assistant industry.
I've only been using twitter for a couple of months and I will freely admit that I'm thoroughly addicted. When I get up in the morning, I check my email first and then moments later, I log into twitter. All this usually happens before I've had coffee or breakfast...(and embarrassingly sometimes even before I've made breakfast for my son. Shhh, don't tell anyone!)
In using Twitter I have:
1) received a referral from someone who saw me tweeting and referred me to a colleague
2) had two people contact me directly about working with me. One of whom will be signing on in January.
3) been asked to join a fellow twitter's online networking group.
4) been able to "converse" directly with experts in many industries who I might otherwise not have ever come into contact with.
5) commented on a fellow tweeter's blog about how a virtual assistant could help with the topic he was writing about and he went back and edited his post to include a link to my website.
6) been asked by a fellow twitter to comment on their new twitter related site and in return they placed a link to my twitter profile on the site.
7) received 50 free flyers printed by a graphic artist/printer on twitter because I responded to their post first. She later became a resource for me to get some business cards and letterhead printed for a client- who loved them!
[COLOR="Black"][B]Here are some tips for how I believe Virtual Assistants can effectively use Twitter:[/B][/COLOR]
[COLOR="Black"][*]Interact with other Virtual Assistants that you either know from other places or that you do not know at all. This not only provides you with good networking, but you also gain insight into how other VAs are using twitter.[/COLOR]
[*]Tweet about Virtual Assistant industry. This shows you are knowledgeable about your industry and that you are "in touch" with your profession and industry.
[COLOR="Black"][*]Occasionally tweet that you are a Virtual Assistant and how you can help. Do this sparingly as people are rather adverse to blatant, constant, in your face marketing. Twitter should mostly be seen as a tool for creating connections and relationships.[/COLOR]
[*]Tweet intelligently and professionally but also as a person. Let your personality show but keep in mind that people will be watching your tweets to gage what kind of person you are and how knowledgeable you seem. People will easily be thinking, "Is this someone that I can see myself working with?" "Can this person bring value to me and represent me in professional way?" However, keep in mind, that people also want to see the human side of you and who you are as a person.
[COLOR="Black"][*]Use the "Search" feature at the bottom of the page to search for the terms "Virtual Assistant" or "Virtual Assistance" at least once a day. Read these tweets to see what people are saying about VAs and also to look for people who may be tweeting about needing a Virtual Assistant. You can also search for other terms as well. And if you're really serious about it, you can add that search term to your RSS feed reader and get notification in your feed reader everytime that term gets mentioned. There are also other applications out there that will help you track keywords or specific terms as they get tweeted- which I'll post more about later on.[/COLOR]
[*]Post your twitter ID everywhere you can think of putting it without looking thoroughly obnoxious about it. I post mine at the bottom of comments I write on blogs. I've posted it on the Wall of several Facebook groups that I joined. I put it on my personal and business facebook page. It's on the front page of my website and it's on my blog. The key is get people to follow you. This increases the audience to which you are tweeting- all of whom can be potential clients, leads or referrals. After only a couple of months, I have almost 650 people following me. Guy Kawaski said it best on his blog...there are two kinds of twitters- those who want more followers and those who lie. True 'dat!
[COLOR="Black"][*]Respond to other people's tweets with a good, quality response. People love to be acknowledged for their tweets, it gets you "seen" and possibly remembered by that person.[/COLOR]
[*]ReTweet other people's tweets. If you see a tweet that you like, think is good, or simply want to pass on, then Retweet it. People really appreciate it when you Retweet their tweets. And hopefully, they will do it in return for you- this means that one tweet could not only be seen by all of your followers but also by all of that other person's followers and so on.
[COLOR="Black"][*]Post good quality links to pages or items that you think people following you will be interested in. This helps people to see you as knowledgeable and as an information resource. I have several terms set up on Google Alerts and I'll go in about once day and post several social media links since so many on Twitter are into the most current and relevant social media links. This has gotten me several Retweets. I also make sure that my last tweet of the day is one that includes a good link to something newsworthy or interesting. This is a good thing to do because when people first go to look at your profile they are going to see your last tweet first and in the biggest and boldest font. You want to leave a good first impression until you are able to come back to twitter.[/COLOR]
[*]Speak highly of the other Virtual Assistants you "tweet" with. Give them shout-outs in your tweets. This helps create the impression that Virtual Assistants are a unified industry who supports one another- something that I personally think is very important.
[COLOR="Black"][*]Check your @replies frequently and tried to respond to each one. Not only is this a courteous thing to do, but have some "conversation" with others on twitter provides others with the impression that you are using twitter for more than just a marketing tool but also as a means to actually interact with others. It's not really advisable to carry on a several tweet conversation with someone though as many of your followers may only see your side of the conversation which makes your tweets not all that interesting to them. You can always take direct tweeting to the Direct Messages feature.[/COLOR]
[*]Do not sign up to send an auto response Direct Message (DM) to new followers. Most people hate this as it is rather impersonal. And especially don't use it send an auto generated Direct Message with a link to your website or blog. This is considered to be spammy and off-putting.[/LIST]
Okay, I think that's about it for now. I'm planning a follow up post to this one with some twitter resources, tools and helpful sites that I use for my twittering. Please Feel free to add how you use twitter as a Virtual Assistant or to ask me any questions about using twitter in the comments area.
Happy Twittering and Come Follow Me![/SIZE][/B]

Focus on Software
Last month, I had just installed Caldera's OpenLinux Beta 2.2 and was having problems with ssh. Following the suggestions of Stephan Seyboth (firstname.lastname@example.com) and Erik Ratcliffe (email@example.com), I finally got a working ssh. Stephan suggested I add -D_GNU_SOURCE to the top-level Makefile, and Erik suggested I comment out any offending HAVE_SYMBOLS in the config.h file. The define Stephan suggested is not a silver bullet, but it did make a difference in some cases.
I also ended up commenting out HAVE_UTMPX in the sshconfig.h, and ssh compiled fine. I am now running egcs, which is a bit different from gcc. Apparently, OpenLinux is much happier being told it is working with GNU source. OpenLinux uses glibc-2.1, and utmpx exists in glibc-2.1. However, somewhere between glibc-2.1, egcs and ssh, this symbol just isn't recognized (or not handled properly) during the build.
This month's packages were all compiled and installed on Caldera 2.2. I haven't seen Red Hat 6.0 yet, but I will guess it will have egcs, glibc-2.1 and a 2.2.x kernel. So, Red Hat users will likely see the same things I have. Since these applications were built on my system, they will most likely build on Red Hat, the new Slackware system when it is released, SuSE and Debian. I no longer offer any assurances about packages compiling on glibc-2.0.7 systems, since I no longer test them on that system.
netsaint is a network monitoring tool that can monitor network services and notify administrators of problems via e-mail or page. Unlike the "Big Brother" package (http://maclawran.ca/bb-dnld/), netsaint doesn't require any client-side installations. Initial installation and configuration can be difficult and would be enhanced by a web configuration tool. Once installed, you can review (but not change) the configuration from a web browser. The current status is also monitored from the web browser. It requires glibc, Apache (or another web server) and a (preferably graphical) frames-capable web browser.
UdmSearch is a web indexing tool that uses MySQL to store words and references found on web pages. It is extremely easy to configure and use. Searches are quite fast, and common words to exclude can easily be added to the package's list. It is also simple to embed the search function into your own pages. The search function can use either php3 or a CGI program (both included). Some preliminary results from large sites suggest that, once indexed, this search tool offers a faster search engine for a large web site than most native web sites have. It requires MySQL, Apache with php3 compiled with MySQL support, glibc, libm, libnsl, mysqlclient and a web browser.
phpgen looks like a good start toward automating the creation of php web pages. Since much of this type of code is repetitive and subject to error, phpgen could be a welcome addition to your toolkit. It could use a few more instructions on the web page where creation takes place, and maybe a few more Themefiles, but the code is usable. It requires MySQL, Apache with php3 compiled with MySQL support and a web browser.
stamos (some things about my operating system) will display certain statistics about your system, including OS version, RAM, load average, bogomips, uptime (requires uptimed) and hard drive usage. When run, stamos creates a web page with this information nicely formatted. This Perl script reads uptimed and some /proc files. It could easily be extended to provide more information, and optimally, a way for root to change some of the proc files via the web interface. It requires uptimed and Perl 5.
quicklist is a working, finished-looking start on a list maker. You can concoct address books or phone lists and quickly be entering data. The lists are saved as ASCII text files. Standard quicklist format is backslash-separated data. You can also specify tab-separated, comma-separated or HTML format for the file. The only annoying thing I noticed was that the file extension used the abbreviated ".htm" rather than the standard ".html". Quicklist also had trouble reading an .html file it wrote, although other file types could be read just fine. A number of options remain to be completed, but this package looks very promising. It requires gtk+-1.2 (including gdk and glib), dl, Xext, X11, libm and glibc.
In the beginning was ssh, and ssh took care of secure TELNET and FTP sessions. Now we have stunnel, which is meant to complement ssh. The stunnel program does not do TELNET or FTP, but it does permit secure communications with SMTP servers, POP servers and others. Note that the home page and FTP site are located in Poland, so there is no hassle with US ITAR laws. When you build stunnel, you can build it with either the ssleay library or the openssl library. If you want stunnel to read your hosts.allow file, you can also build it with libwrap, the tcp wrappers library. It requires glibc, nsl, pthread, ssleay or openssl, and optionally, libwrap.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

OSHA News Release – Region 1
U.S. Department of Labor
Region 1 News Release: 05-298-BOS/BOS 2005-034
Friday, March 4, 2005
Contact: Ted Fitzgerald
Phone: (617) 565-2074
METHUEN, Mass. -- A Somerville, Mass., flooring contractor faces $70,000 in proposed fines from the U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) following a fire at a Somerville jobsite that killed two workers and seriously burned two others.
On Sept. 2, 2004, employees of David's Floor Service Inc. were working in a house at 4 Foskett St. when the flammable floor primer they were applying ignited, starting a fire. The primer was a lacquer sealant containing hazardous chemicals.
OSHA's inspection identified several hazards involving flammable chemicals, respiratory protection, fire protection and employee training. Specifically, the flammable sealant was used within 50 feet of an ignition source; the jobsite lacked fire extinguishers; employees were not trained in fire protection; the work area lacked adequate ventilation; and the jobsite had not been inspected for hazards by a competent person with both the knowledge to spot hazards and the authority to correct them.
In addition, the employer did not evaluate respiratory, physical and health hazards posed to the workers by the chemicals with which they worked and by floor sanding operations at the site; respirator training was not provided; workers were not medically evaluated to determine if they were able to wear respirators; workers were not trained to recognize and address unsafe conditions associated with their work; and the worksite lacked a hazard communication program and material safety data sheets containing information about the chemicals used.
OSHA cited David's Floor Service for ten alleged serious violations of the Occupational Safety and Health Act. Each citation carries a proposed fine of $7,000, the maximum penalty for a serious citation. OSHA defines a serious violation as a condition for which there is a substantial possibility that death or serious physical harm can result to an employee.
"This case underscores why it is so important to effectively train and equip workers with the knowledge and tools to identify, understand and protect themselves against the hazards associated with their work," said Richard Fazzio, OSHA's area director for Middlesex and Essex counties. "Adherence to health and safety standards might have prevented this accident or, at the very least, minimized the respiratory, chemical, fire and other hazards to which these workers were exposed."
The company has 15 business days from receipt of its citations and proposed penalties to comply with them, to request and participate in an informal conference with the OSHA area director, or to contest them before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. OSHA's Methuen area office conducted the inspection. Its telephone number is (617) 565-8110.
Employers are responsible for providing a safe and healthful workplace for their employees. OSHA's role is to assure the safety and health of America's workers by setting and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach and education; establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual improvement in workplace safety and health. For more information, visit www.osha.gov.
U.S. Labor Department (DOL) releases are accessible on the Internet at www.dol.gov. The information in this news release will be made available in alternate format upon request (large print, Braille, audio tape or disc) from the COAST office. Please specify which news release when placing your request at (202) 693-7765 or TTY (202) 693-7755. The U.S. Department of Labor is committed to providing America's employers and employees with easy access to understandable information on how to comply with its laws and regulations.

Glow is one of those magic filters we can put on in post, that really adds a softness and a warmth to our image. And it also lets us know when a light is just a little too bright on a surface. I'm going to put a little bit of glow on both of my flows here in the node graph, just to make those highlights pop out a little bit more. Glow actually shows where an image is over-exposed and dazzling the lens just a bit. We don't want to put glow on everything. We want to use it strategically on just a few key elements to show that they're nice and bright.
Putting on glow is fairly easy. The trick with glow is to make sure that your value, your luminance, is in the right place first, because glow is luma-based. I'll put Glow on my desk image first by clicking on the ZDFocus2, right-clicking and choosing Filter and Glow. Note that Nuke knows that I was in the Filter section last, and so it jumps to that on right-click. With the glow on and making sure it's selected and i'll press one to show it in the view everything glows and my image has a soft gauzy look to it.
What i'll do with the glow is bring up the tolerance saying the glow only applies on certain luminance after above 20% for example. Now I've got a glow right here on the windows, although it's a little bit hot and a little bit fuzzy looking. What I'll do then is to back off the size and the glow, pulling it down just under four, and I'll also back off the brightness. We don't want a giant glow fuzzing out things that we've spent some time to make clear. We just want a little bit of glow to show that it's nice and bright to really make those windows in our desk shop pop out.
We could mask if we need, making sure, for example, that plants stay nice and dark if they have bright spots. And the glow only shows on the windows. For now though, because I've got a fairly low value in the image, I'm okay with just using the tolerance and the glow to make it pop out. Now I'll put a glow in my daytime shot. Really shooting for a stylized piece here in black and white. I'll pick ZD focus one, right-click and here's filter and glow already highlighted. I'll put that glow on, press one to show it in the viewer, pull down the timeline, and my image is on fire.
Now, joking aside, and way overexposed images aside, this is easily rectified. What I'll do, is bring up the tolerance and the glow. I'll pull this way up. We can see in here that glow at zero means. Everybody glows. We pull up the glow, almost well into the mid-point here and just those white roofs and plants are glowing. What I'll do next, is to really back off the size in my glow, pulling it down, and also the mix.
Every different node, every filter, has a mix amount, an opacity. So we can say, here it is applied at 50% strength, for example. I'll back off the mix into just under 70%, we'll call it, 0.67. And there's a glow, nice and hot on the pavement, really bright trees, bright roofs, and the clouds, which I'm going to replace, are glowing. The block wall is also glowing, and it's got that period feel, that Julius Schulman. Almost scorching kind of stylization, with a big big range between the black dirt, and the white on the roofs.
If you'd like, you could even use a mask on the globe to really push around the luminance, say, on the plants. I'll show what that looks like, as well. What I'll do is mask this glow by inverting first. I'll take glow two. Drag it its mask onto my object ID and in here, making sure, I double click on the glow to show it. I'll mask by RGBA red. What this does, is mask down the glow to just the plants. I'll check invert and it will glow on everything else except the plants.
Now that I've got well, the scene glowing properly as I had done it, but my plants are not. I'll put another glow on, masked the same way, and undo invert. I'll add one more glow, mask it the same way, double click on that glow, and make sure I'm masking by RGBA red, and now. I have got just the plans getting nice and bright. I will bring up their tolerance a little bit. Back of the size just a little. And now the plants have their own specific glow.
Again I am making use of that mask channel to custom tune, the glow on the image. So I've got those nearly white plants next to this dark architecture and the bright white roofs. Remember with glow, a little bit goes a long way. We don't want to just fuzz out our entire image with glow after we spent so much time on anti-aliasing. And depth of field getting it where we want. We want just a littlest bit to really stylize. Showing the hottest parts are just dazzling the lens a little bit.

Medical Certification Requirements for Montana Commercial Driver License HoldersFriday, April 25, 2014, 10:48 am
As of May 2012, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration adopted new regulations requiring state driver licensing agencies to add medical certification status and the information on a driver's medical examiner's certificate (previously referred to as DOT card) to their Commercial Driver's License Information System (CDLIS) record.
Drivers who apply for, or renew, a Montana CDL, and Drivers who received notification to submit the Self-Certification form, after April 30, 2012 must comply with the regulations set forth by the FMCSA. The Montana Motor Vehicle Division sends letters notifying Montana CDL holders who have not renewed or upgraded prior to January 30, 2014, with instructions on how to submit their self-certification and, if applicable, their medical examiner certificate (MEC). Drivers who do not comply with the notification requirements will have their commercial driver licenses downgraded to a base, Class D license and will no longer be legal to operate any commercial motor vehicle (school bus).
To comply with the new regulations: Drivers must determine the type of business they operate in and certify to that type of commercial operation on the driver license application or Form 21-1201 CDL Self-Certification Classification and Medical Documentation. Based on the self-certification, the driver must provide a current MEC to obtain or keep their CDL.
The self-certification categories include:
- Interstate non-excepted: You are an interstate non-excepted driver and must meet the federal MEC requirements (i.e., you are "not excepted").
- Interstate excepted: You are an interstate excepted driver and do not have to meet the federal MEC requirements.
- Intrastate non-excepted: All Montana-only (intrastate) drivers are required to meet the MEC requirements.
A copy of the new MEC must be submitted to the Montana Motor Vehicle Division prior to the expiration date of the current certificate. This may be done by mailing or faxing a legible copy of the CDL holder's MEC to the Montana Motor Vehicle Division, Attn: CDL Help Desk, P.O. Box 201430, Helena MT 59620-1430 or Fax to: (406) 444-1987.
Drivers must meet all requirements set forth in 20-10-103, MCA and ARM 10.64.201 in order for the district to receive state and county transportation reimbursement. All CDL holders must continue to carry their medical examiner's certificate (formerly referred to as a DOT card).
Other reminders:
- Districts must keep copies of the driver's CDL, Current Medical Certification Card, First Aid Certificate, and TR-35 on file for auditing purposes.
- Random Transportation Desk Audits are selected and performed each Fiscal Year.
For more information, contact Donell Rosenthal, (406) 444-3024

Missourians are warned to be wary of scams while discussing enrollment in new health insurance plans.
The Missouri Department of Insurance says that before sharing any personal or medical information. Missourians should first make sure they are dealing with a licensed insurance agent or navigator.
State law requires both insurance agents and navigators to be licensed by the Missouri Department of Insurance.
The department encourages consumers to only provide personal information when they initiate the contact. Be careful when giving out personal information such as medical, credit card, banking or Social Security numbers.
Navigators are licensed to provide fair and impartial information and services about eligibility, enrollment and program specifications of any health benefit exchange operating in this state, including information about the cost of coverage, advance payment of premium tax credits, and cost sharing reductions.
The department also reminds consumers that the annual Medicare open enrollment period is Oct. 15 through Dec. 7. Medicare plans are not sold on the new federal health insurance marketplace.
Navigators can provide services to consumers free of charge.
To verify the licensure of a specific insurance agent or navigator, click here or call (573)-751-3518.

LC didn't really help
somtimes it really hurts to nurse. Even if it's a good latch. I had to go through about 9 weeks of horrible toe curling pain everytime I nursed.
Nipple shields help but really it still hurts. And it is not recommended to use them just for the pain. I'm afraid you may have to press on through this.
Have you ever contact the LLL? The leader can meet with you and watch the baby nurse to see if it's a bad latch or just nipple trauma from nursing. Your nipples have to toughen up...just like you fingers when you begin to play guitar...they have to toughen up then it doesn't hurt anymore.
Did she check for a tongue tie? You shouldn't just have to deal with it. And if you don't teach LO how to latch properly, he'll never get the hang of it. Is there another LC in the area that you can see?

Do you have signs of oversupply and/or forceful letdown? Google 'kellymom oversupply" if you don't know what I'm talking about. If you've been pumping a lot to ensure a good supply b/c baby was early it's even more likely that oversupply is part of your problem.
The reason I ask is that I have forceful letdown, and in an attempt to slow the flow down my girls both clamped down on my nipple, which resulted in a whilte line across the tip of my nipple that rapidly turned into a scab. My nipples also often looked like a tube of lipstick after nursing.
It's possible that part of it is his mouth is too small, and he will just grow into it. But it's also very likely that there's something else going on, either oversupply or a tongue tie that your LC didn't catch (some of them don't present as a little heart shaped tongue and they can be very difficult to diagnose) or something else.
One other question - is your LC an IBCLC? If not, then go to www.ilca.org and use the directory to find one near you. IBCLCs have more training so they are often more helpful than the average LC. Even if your LC is an IBCLC, you may want to find another one or talk to an LLL Leader to see if someone else can offer more help. (LLL help is free - find someone near you at www.llli.org)
Good luck!
I second getting in touch with lll or a doula. Even if they can't help they can give you a reliable recommendation in a lc that comes to your home which us more helpful. If cost is an issue many use a sliding scale which is based on income.
I know it feels so hard right now and my heart is with you! The early days were hard on me too and filled with so many tears. But I am so thankful today that I didn't give up and got help from a caring and truly helpful person.
Btw, not all hospital LCs are bad. The ones at my hospital were IBLCE and RNs. They were fantastic.
Good luck! Hang in there! It won't be this hard forever!!
Home is where the bra isn't.

The entryway is also an excellent place for one additional outdoor rug, to act as an insurance for the door mat on muddy days. Get more tips on designing an organized entryway with entryway furniture and modular entryway systems from our design experts.

1999 Dodge Neon Sport 2dr Coupe
Good car until about 60,000 miles, lots
of rattles. Everything starts wearing
out. $2000 in repairs in the last year.
I would not buy another used one, or a
new one if it's only gonna last 60,000
Exterior styling
Better build quality needed.
This car was my favorite car. It held
up very very well. It was fast, nimble,
and very sporty. The onlt thing this
car didn't have was leather and a CD
player, then it would be perfect. It
also had lots of room for it's size. It
was hard to find and after my brother
wrecked mine, I couldn't find it again.
I ended up with a 2001 but I was very
dissapointed. It's weak and gets
terrible gas mileage. And half of the
problems I have, the dealer either
can't or wont fix it. Like a sulphuric
smell that nausiates me.
I loves the strong engine. And the fog
lights and spoiler made it a perfect
If they had added a power moonroof and
leather seats it caould have competed
with some high dollar sport coupes.
Fun little car with Honda like
reliability. Purchased as an alternate
fuel efficient "tow" vehicle for my jet
ski and it performed beyond my
expectations. Pulls a 500 lb jet ski
with ease using manual 5-speed. Has
over 60000 miles on routine oil changes
and a battery replacement. Dodge did
something right with this car.
2.0 L engine, excellent handling,
reliability, low maintenance, great
None necessary, just keep the price low

Museum of Wisconsin Art opens new building
After researching and refining the history of Wisconsin art for decades, the Museum of Wisconsin Art will be able to tell more of its story starting this weekend. It will reopen in a dramatic new building nestled on the Milwaukee River at 205 Veterans Ave., West Bend - a gleaming, white wedge with twice the space for art inside.
The museum also is altering its narrative, opening up what it means to focus on "Wisconsin art" and creating a greater focus on contemporary art. »Read Full Article

I MUST CONCEDE that the first phase of the Sixers' long-range plan to build a championship contender has succeeded wildly.
President/general manager Sam Hinkie came in swinging a wrecking ball at the franchise and leveled it to rock bottom.
Unless you live in Milwaukee, the Sixers are hands-down the worst team in the league. Their 15 wins are presently two more than the Bucks, but the Sixers' level of incompetence is on the verge of passing anything the NBA has seen in its nearly 70 years of existence.
Tonight in Houston, the Sixers are heavy favorites to lose and thus tie the 2010-11 Cleveland Cavaliers for the longest losing streak in NBA history at 26 games.
