BP Comment Quick Links
August 18, 2010 BP PodcastEpisode 13: Until Small Wonder Shows UpI know we say this often, but in listening back through the editing process, this might be my favorite episode ever -- it just had that vibe. Our special guest is Jim Callis, the Executive Editor of Baseball America, who gives us nearly an hour to discuss what happened on Monday's draft signing deadline, as well as speculating on the future of the draft. It's a fascinating discussion filled with insight and information that you may not of heard before. Before than, Jason and I talk about the concept of being over-matched, as well as what minor league numbers can and can not mean when projecting future performance. Of course, we end with hijinks, including a discussion of my morning television adventures and we actually prepared a recipe sent in by a listener. As always, we hope you enjoy, and we've been absolutely flattered by all the great emails we get, so keep 'em coming. Note: We do alert you to the presence of the occasional adult language. Don't say we didn't warn you. Up And In Episode 13: "Until Small Wonder Shows Up"

At the center of this heroic life was a passionate 20-year fight to abolish the British slave trade, a battle Wilberforce won in 1807, as well as efforts to abolish slavery itself in the British colonies, a victory achieved just three days before his death in 1833.
Metaxas discovers in this unsung hero a man of whom it can truly be said, "He changed the world." Before Wilberforce, few thought slavery was wrong. After Wilberforce, most societies in the world came to see it as a great moral wrong.
This account of Wilberforce's life will help many to become acquainted with an exceptional man who was a hero to Abraham Lincoln and an inspiration to the anti-slavery movement in America.
©2007 Eric Metaxas; (P)2007 Tantor Media Inc.
I loved listening to books during my commute to work. Maybe I shouldn't have retired!
"Very Interesting"
This is a fascinating book about a man that is seldom mentioned in history texts but contributed a great deal to the world. The book gets off to a slow start, the first hour or so devoted to praising Wilberforce before getting on with the story of his life. Nonetheless, I highly recommend this book!
College English professor who loves classic literature, psychology, neurology and hates pop trash like Twilight and Fifty Shades of Grey.
"A Marvelous Story Gloriously Told"
The worst criticism one is likely to encounter in regard to this biography of William Wilberforce is the same as came later for Metaxas' biography of Bonhoeffer, namely, that he lapses into hero worship in the telling of the tale, but one might ask how the extraordinary stories of the lives of two such remarkable men could be told without it. In fact, we do not write biographies of ordinary men and women but extraordinary ones, and so accusing a biographer of writing with abundant admiration of William Wilberforce and Dietrich Bonhoeffer is like accusing a biographer of Adolph Hitler of not showed a "better side" of the most notorious dictator in history. In the end, we write our own biographies with our deeds--if, in the end, these inspire praise and adulation rather than scorn and censure, all the better.
"Amazing Grace and AMAZING vocabulary"
This book tells the story of William Wilberforce in detail from birth to death. Along the way you will read about his efforts to outlaw the slave trade and, ultimately, to emancipate the slaves throughout the British possessions. However the author seems to have taken delight in finding the biggest words (or should I say, the most 'erudite' ones) to express even simple ideas. Unless you have a large vocabulary, you will find it confusing and, even if you do, you may find it annoying as if he kept searching in a thesaurus for a less common word. I gave it five stars because it really IS well written despite what seems like an unnecessary display of verbal ability. On the positive side, I came away with a great appreciation for Wilberforce, himself and I hope you will too.
"Terrific Read"
I learned a lot from this book, both about the British history of slavery and abolition, but also many illuminating details of the era itself. Previous reviews commented on the author's obvious religious bias, but it didn't impact the historical value, and his writing style was delightful.
Narrative makes the world go round.
"uneven, but still merits 5 stars"
As others mention, the book seems far from objective and the reader is a bit too ...enthusiastic? and also too... modern? in tone (I can't quite put my finger on the words). But what a story! What a man! (even if the portrait is less than neutral). And what great details and anecdotes of the times. It's an all round 5 star listen to me, despite the flaws.
Professional librarian type, amateur historian.
"Couldn't stop listening"
In the beginning Johnny Heller seems to be rushing through the book and the hurried voice is a bit annoying. But you get interested in the story of Wilberforce and I found myself struggling to stop listening for things like sleep and work. After listening, I want to get a hard copy of the book to share aspects of the book with friends. Regarding the storytelling, it is very Christian and not a secular bio.
"Good Primer"
A good primer on Wilberforce. Strong prose from and good subject treatment from Metaxas, as always. Performance was ok-he mispronounced a bunch of words and his pacing was mismatched with the text at times. Overall, though, this book is worth your time.
"Everyone should know this story"
This book and story was told in a captivating way. Everyone should know the story of William Wilberforce. Loved some of the mini biographies within the greater one.
"Life changing History!"
Life changing History. I will listen to this again and again for inspiration. He is a true HERO!
"Great biography of a great man."
Metaxes is witty and engaging. He immerses the listener in the history and culture of the story, without sounding like an endless list of days and numbers. By the end of the book, I felt like I had met Wilberforce and experienced his struggles and joys by his side.

Oh, covered calls! How I love you so!
These nifty little option trades generate income for me when stocks I own are stagnant, and that always has been the primary reason I love covered calls. If some blue-chip stock is just sitting around, I can sell covered calls against all or part of my position and earn some income.
The thing about blue chips is they don't often move very much or very quickly, except around earnings. So, I like to balance that out by selling against a position in a small-cap or midcap growth stock. These tend to be more volatile and offer greater premiums. I might miss out on some upside, but volatile growth stocks tend to gyrate enough that I can buy back in around the same price the stock got called away at.
International Business Machines (IBM[1]) is a good blue-chip selection for covered calls. IBM has already reported earnings, and they weren't that great[2]. IBM stock fell as a result, so that means you could buy it here and sell a call, or if you own the stock, sell the call against your position. Either way, IBM stock is likely dead money until the next earnings report in April.
As of this writing, IBM stock trades around $174. There's a nice play by selling the March 7 $172.50 call for $3.95. Backing out the $1.50 between the current price and strike price, that's a 1.4%-plus return for a four-week holding period, or 17% annualized. Does anybody else think IBM stock will return 17% over the next year? I don't.
I really like playing the covered calls game with Expedia (EXPE[3]). EXPE can be very volatile, and that means big premiums. You have a tiny window with Expedia reporting earnings this evening. EXPE currently sells around $64, and though there's an expiration date the very next day, you still can sell that Feb 7 $64 call for a whopping $3.80. That's a 6% return in one day.
If EXPE gets hit, you still own it at an effective buy price of $60.20 — a good price in my eyes. If you miss the earnings report, or want to wait, then see where the stock settles. At that price, I'd sell the March expiration call. You should get about 3%-3.5% on the trade, which is a great annualized yield. I would not sell for less than 3%.
Facebook (FB[4]) already reported last week. FB stock currently trades just over $62, and as a momentum stock, it can be quite volatile. However, Facebook seems to be hitting its stride in terms of revenue and earnings, and I think the path of least resistance is up.
Using covered calls is a great way to invest in a volatile growth stock, as it allows you to buy the stock, strip out a little gain over a month or two, and if the stock gets called away, repeat the process. You aren't holding the stock perpetually in that instance. If FB stock gets called away and it happens to have skyrocketed, you can wait for a pullback before risking more capital.
Right now, I'd sell the March 22 $62.50 call for $3.55. That's a solid return of almost 6%, or about a 52% annualized return.

Growth Rates of Cranes Reared in Captivity

We measured eggs, incubation periods, growth of chicks, and masses of adults of 10 species of cranes at the Bronx Zoo and the International Crane Foundation. Growth rate constants of Gompertz equations fitted to the data varied between 0.034 and 0.057/day. These values were 50-90% of those for altricial birds of comparable adult mass, and were considerably greater than those of other precocial species, such as galliforms. Rates of growth intermediate between altricial and precocial species are consistent with the fact that crane chicks, although precocial, are brooded and fed by their parents during much of the early development period. Within species, asymptote (A) and growth-rate constant (K) of the Gompertz equations were negatively correlated, owing to their inherent relationship in the curve-fitting process. Masses of chicks during the first month after hatch were unrelated to the mass asymptote, but correlated strongly with the estimated growth-rate constant. The mass of the neonate was about 60% of the fresh mass of the egg. Egg mass was unrelated to subsequent chick mass during the first month, but correlated with the mass asymptote in two species when the relationship between A and K was accounted for statistically. Egg mass also was correlated with incubation period, fledging period, and the growthrate constant in isolated instances. Growth rate and asymptote among species were inversely related, as found among large samples of diverse bird species. The size of the egg relative to the mass of the adult was related inversely to adult mass, again consistent with patterns in other groups of birds. Fledging period was related strongly to the length of the incubation period and weakly to the asymptote to the growth curve, and it was unrelated to growth-rate constant of the Gompertz equation.

Comedy Slam Dunk
Shaquille O'Neal is a funny guy. And we're not just talking about his inadvertent comedy, such as his infamous response when asked if he visited the Parthenon while in Athens ("I don't know. I can't really remember the names of all the clubs we went to.") or his infamously bad free-throw shooting (.527 career average). The same mix of goofiness and good-natured shit-talking that made him a great interview during his playing days has served him well in off-seasons and now in retirement, as his Shaq Entertainment brand has turned some of the people who make the big guy laugh, such as Kevin Hart, into household names. Shaquille O'Neal's All-Star Comedy Jam makes its only Dallas-area stop at Verizon Theatre, 1001 Performance Place in Grand Prairie, 8 p.m. Saturday. Performers include Michael Blackson, Gary Owen, Capone, Spinderella, host Corey Holcomb and "a special guest." Hopefully it will be Shaq himself, here to trash Shawn Bradley one last time. Tickets ($35 to $55) and more are at 888-929-7849 or verizontheatre.com.

The growth of the internet has meant that different devices are connected together and data has to be exchanged from one place to another. Since the internet consists of many networks connected together using different protocols, there is the need for a single independent protocol which can transport the data from one end to another irrespective of the type of protocol of the origin or destination of the connection. The Point-to-Point Protocol is such a protocol and is designed for simple links which transport packets between two peers. These links provide full-duplex simultaneous bi-directional operation, and are assumed to deliver packets in order. The use of sockets in the internet communication eliminates the reconfiguration of the link between the server and client. It also enables multiple access of a server by many clients. This project demonstrates the processes that's takes place when accessing a website or doing some client/server computing in the form of a link connecting two computers. The computers communicate through the use of sockets in Point-to-Point Protocol as the Media Access Control in the Data link Layer. Data communication takes place in the form of a Graphic User Interface using text and audio through the two computers.

Since Ewing's sarcoma is associated with growth, it should come as no surprise that the most common locations in which it occurs are on the lengthening limb bones. Unfortunately, its nature also leads to a high liklehood of metastatic tumors developing. At the time of diagnosis approximately one third of all patients have already developed metastatic tumors.
Pain is the most common symptom, but swelling at the tumor site may be visible. Fever is rarely caused by this disease. These features are not diagnostic however, and scans and biopsies are necessary to confirm what the problem is.
He was complaining of a pain at his hip, but wrote it off in his mind for several months as the re-emergence of an old injury he'd sustained while diving years before. The story didn't make sense to me, but I wasn't alarmed until one day, in the kitchen, we had a conversation that went something like this:
He: "I think I'm growing new body parts or something! That diving injury is coming back with a vengeance."Me: "What do you mean?"He: "Well, I have, like, a golf ball growing out of my hip now. Oh, and look, I'm growing one on my forehead too."Me: "Um, James . . . that's really not good. Has it occurred to you that it could be cancer?"He: "Well, I seriously doubt it, but I have an appointment with my doctor anyway."
And as it turns out, it was Ewing's sarcoma. The following year would see surgeries, chemotherapy, hair- and weight- loss, and an emotionally difficult ride for those around him. But he had an enormously positive attitude . . . and against all odds, he has survived, with the cancer apparently gone.
The most interesting aspect of the treatment in my roommate's case, BTW, is that the surgeons re-routed a portion of his abdominal muscles into his leg, to replace the tissue that was removed. We used to joke that this could have unintended consequences, such as, perhaps, involuntarily kicking whenever he coughed, or some such thing. This is not the case, of course, because even though the abdominal muscles were still attached to his abdomen near the waistline, the muscles would "learn" to "obey" the electrochemical commands destined for the leg, not the abdomen.
His parents just happen to work at a world-renowned cancer treatment hospital, and we happen to live near the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), and so my roommate was well cared-for, and also quite involved in the many research programs currently funded by the US government. It seems that there is quite a bit of hope on the horizon for Ewing's patients, and I am happy to know that.
Most of all, I am happy that my friend survived this round. I do hope very much that he doesn't present with more tumors, and that, if he wants to one day, he can still father children. Statistically, I have been told by family friends who are doctors that he is both unlikely to remain tumorless (for Ewing's has a high recurrence rate), and unlikely to successfully father a child.
But my friend is a person, not a statistic. And I have admired him greatly for his courage and upbeat spirit in all of this. He was far more concerned about the emotional state of his family and friends throughout the ordeal than he was about his own cancer. He had declared at the beginning that it was not going to be a "big deal", and he was determined not to let it be so.

Pfurey was a great seller and provided fast communication, making sure to always respond and answer my questions. Fast shipping and the product arrived as described.
Great Customer! Quick Communication and Quick Payment!!
Great guy who takes the time to answer any questions and deliver (excellent) items in a timely fashion!
I had a decidedly unpleasant transaction with pfurey, and would hesitate to do business with him in the future. After a complication largely out of my control, pfurey decided to jump to conclusions and unjustifiably attempt to my soil my reputation.
I was not the final buyer. My friend's wife was looking for a gift for her husband and I found the listing, negotiated price, terms were agreed, and funds were sent. Pfurey cancelled after receiving payment and refunded. Please see original thread.
Great Seller, very fast with delivery and you can be assured that what you requested is nicely packaged.
Great seller!
Good guy, bought two of my shirts. Very quick payment, a no hassle, fast and easy transaction.

"At the bottom of enmity between strangers lies indifference."
Soren Kierkegaard
"The worst sin toward our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them; that's the essence of inhumanity"
George Bernard Shaw
"All you'll get from strangers is surface pleasantry or indifference. Only someone who loves you will criticize you."
Judith Crist
"Ignorance and Indifference are choices, yet they are the parents of Slander and Ridicule, and the grandparents of Fear and Hate, which creates a complete family of Lies."
Mike E. Knezevich, Jr.
"If someone hates me and I don't know why they do, it is because i don't care why they do. In fact, I don't even know that they do because I don't care that they do."
Joan Colleen R. Katipunan
"The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference."
Elie Wiesel
"Love me or hate me, but spare me your indifference"

Flyers roar back, take Game 1 in Pittsburgh
Eastern Conference Quarterfinal Game 1
Flyers lead series 1-0
No. 1 Star
Danny Briere scored the first goal for the Flyers with Philadelphia trailing 3-0 in the second period to jump start his team. Replay showed that Briere was offside but that doesn't matter now. The Flyers eventually tied the game in regulation before winning it shortly into over time with Jakub Voracek's goal.
Turning Point
The Penguins power play had three opportunities to give their a team an added cushion three times in the second period and failed every time. One of them led to a number of short-handed chances for the Flyers, and a Danny Briere goal shortly after it ended.
Despite grabbing early momentum with a 3-0 lead after the first period, the Penguins relaxed and let their cross-state rivals back into the game, as they've done multiple times this season.
It was....
Physical, but clean. Very clean, for the most part. If you were looking for blood on the ice, you didn't get it. Ilya Bryzgalov shook off a horrible first period and rewarded head coach Peter Laviolette for sticking with him by slamming the door on the Penguins the rest of the way.
It's was also shocking to see the Penguins lose a three-goal lead on home ice. Especially considering many people labeled the Penguins the favorites before the series started.

Abstract Background: Our group has shown a positive dose-response in maximal cardiorespiratory exercise capacity (VO(2max)) and heart rate variability (HRV) to 6 months of exercise training but no improvement in VO(2max) for women >/=60 years. Here, we examine the HRV response to exercise training in postmenopausal women younger and older than 60 years. Methods: We examined 365 sedentary, overweight, hypertensive, postmenopausal women randomly assigned to sedentary control or exercise groups exercising at 50% (4 kcal/kg/week, [KKW]), 100% (8 KKW) and 150% (12 KKW) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Consensus Development Panel physical activity guidelines. Primary outcomes included time and frequency domain indices of HRV. Results: Overall, our analysis demonstrated a significant improvement in parasympathetic tone (rMSSD and high frequency power) for both age strata at 8 KKW and 12 KKW. For rMSSD, the age-stratified responses were: control,

Semi-Fail NOTD: Claire's Memaid Funky French
I don't know quite what to say about this. It was disappointing on so many levels. I knew that Claire's Mermaid was sheer, and I thought I had a pretty good plan for dealing with that - a black french tip with a silver smile line. I used Color Club Black for my tips - I really should have used some polish thinner on it beforehand, but it was sooo late, and I was sooo lazy. I used Art Club Satin Silver striper for the smile line, a very pale silver. I did 2 coats of Mermaid over the top. And got this:
Poor application all around, sloppy french tips - if it hadn't been 11 o'clock I'd have taken it off & started from scratch. I should have picked something more foolproof in the first place ... oh well. I even had one girl at work tell me they weren't up to my usual standard, which horrified my mother that anyone would say anything so mean - of course, she liked them & didn't see most of the glaring errors that bugged me all day LOL.
Thanks for reading.
Funky French,
11 comments:
I tell ya some people are quick to to point out flaws...what a mean thing to say :( Well, I think its very pretty. From my monitor your tips look purple not black and your smile lines look a little darker then mermaid not silver. So, I say teal and purple are great combos :) Regardless of the flaws you still rock in my book :)
ReplyDeleteI think your being a tad hard on yourself Colette, I think their cool and very pretty. You always accept the challenge of making raw / clear nails a work of art and it's my opinion you fared very well with this one :). Keep up the awesome job on maintaining and polishing your long lovely natural fingernails and blog Colette!

IMAGE TITLES GET SECOND PRINTINGS�� Image Comics announced on Monday that Bone Rest #1 and Grounded #1 have sold out at Diamond and will go back to press for second printings.
�Both books sold out despite a 25 percent overship to retailers as well as Image's standard overprint.
�� The second printing of Grounded #1, due in stores in mid-September, will feature a new cover by series artist Paul Azaceta. The second printing of Bone Rest #1, in stores on Aug. 24, features a collaboration between series artist Giuseppe Camuncoli and painter Gabriele Dell'Otto.
�� "When the news started to come in about selling out, I was overwhelmed," said Azaceta. "Luckily, I get to do a whole new cover for the second printing as kind of a thank you to the fans. The new
cover has real significance to me, because I couldn't have done it if
it wasn't for the great response we've received."
"I'm really thrilled with the response, both critically and commercially, to Grounded," said writer Mark Sable. "It only gets better from here, and although issue 2 is a great jumping-on point for new
readers, I'm glad Image is going out of its way to make sure that no
one has to miss out on our debut."
Acclaimed overseas, Bone Rest #1 marks the series' debut in the United States.
"Since Bone Rest sold out so fast, Image Comics is releasing a second
printing with a brand new cover by myself and red-hot painter
extraordinaire Gabriele Dell'Otto, who people got to know on Marvel's
greatly successful Secret War mini-series," said Camuncoli. "I'm
so happy with how Bone Rest has been doing that right now, if the
real Apocalypse started tomorrow, I wouldn't even notice!"
IMAGE COMICS FIRST LOOKSFor covers and five-page previews of Image Comics titles arriving in stores on Wednesday, CLICK HERE.
Titles include Spawn #148, Girls #4 and Godland #2.
THE GRAY AREA MOVIE Glen Brunswick, writer of Image Comics's The Gray Area, said he and artist John Romita Jr. are "simply thrilled" to have the property optioned for film by Benderspink.
"They seem to have a knack
for turning out really fun, quality pictures," Brunswick said.
The Gray Area is a supernatural thriller that follows Rudy Chance
into the afterlife following his execution at the hands of the drug
cartel he sought to double-cross. A brutal, corrupt copy an
womanizer, Chance expects to wind up in Hell. Instead, he finds
himself in the Gray Area, where he is given extraordinary powers and
forced to combat evil as part of a kind of afterlife "police force"
in order to gain a shot at redemption. Benderspink is viewing the
property as a potential franchise.
"While we realize that a Gray Area film is still a long way off
from actually happening, it's heartening and exciting to be shown
such a strong degree of enthusiasm from Benderspink for our original
source material," Brunswick said.
Brunswick was recently tapped to write the film adaptation of the
Wildstorm/DC comic Ex Machina for New Line. Both Benderspink
Productions and Brunswick are attached as producers on Ex Machina.
Rudy Chance makes his next comic book appearance in a short story by
Brunswick and artist Cully Hamner, set to run in the upcoming Image Comics Holiday Special, on sale in December.

Red, White, and Blue Star Cookies
Total Time:
14 large and 14 small cookies
- 1½ c. all-purpose flour
- .13 tsp. baking soda
- .13 tsp. salt
- 1 stick butter (no substitutions)
- ⅓ c. granulated sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- ½ tsp. vanilla extract
- 1¼ oz. hard red candies
- 1¼ oz. hard blue candies
- ½ c. confectioners' sugar
- 2 tsp. water
- 4½ tsp. white sparkling sugar
- Prepare cookies: On waxed paper, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. In large bowl, with mixer (preferably with paddle attachment) on medium speed, beat butter and granulated sugar 1 minute or until creamy, occasionally scraping bowl. Add egg yolk and vanilla; beat until well mixed. Reduce speed to low; gradually beat in flour mixture until blended and some clumps form, occasionally scraping bowl. Press dough into disk. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate up to 30 minutes.
- While dough is chilling, place each color of hard candy in a separate heavy-duty plastic bag; seal bags. Place 1 bag on towel-covered work surface. With meat mallet or heavy skillet, crush candies into small pieces about the size of coarsely chopped nuts, being careful not to crush until powdery. Repeat with remaining candies.
- Place 2 racks in center of oven. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment. Remove dough from refrigerator and place between 2 sheets parchment paper; roll to scant 1/4 inch thick. Remove top sheet of parchment. With 3- to 4-inch star-shaped cookie cutter, cut out as many cookies as possible. Transfer stars to prepared cookie sheet (using metal spatula if necessary); place 1 inch apart. Press together trimmings; reroll and cut out additional stars, repeating as necessary.
- Cut out centers of cookies with 1 1/2- to 2-inch star-shaped cookie cutter. Transfer center stars to large sheet parchment, 1 inch apart. (If necessary, lift one point of center star with tip of knife; ease small metal spatula underneath to remove.)
- Bake large stars 7 minutes. Remove cookie sheets from oven; fill each cookie's center with 1 teaspoon crushed candy. Return to oven and bake 5 to 8 minutes longer or until edges are lightly browned and candy is melted. Slide cookies on parchment onto wire racks to cool completely. Slide parchment with center stars onto 1 cookie sheet. Immediately bake center stars 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Slide cookies on parchment onto wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare icing: In small bowl, stir together confectioners' sugar and 2 teaspoons water until smooth, adding additional teaspoon water if icing is too thick to spread. Spread icing on 1 center star and sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon sparkling sugar over it. Repeat with remaining center stars, icing, and sparkling sugar. Let stand until icing sets, about 5 minutes. Cookies can be stored in tightly sealed container at room temperature up to 2 weeks, or in freezer up to 3 months.
EACH LARGE COOKIE: About 120 calories, 1 g protein, 16 g carbohydrate, 6 g total fat (3 g saturated), 0 g fiber, 25 mg cholesterol, 80 mg sodium.
EACH SMALL COOKIE: About 55 calories, 0 g protein, 9 g carbohydrate, 2 g total fat (1 g saturated), 0 g fiber, 9 mg cholesterol, 25 mg sodium.

Auto-post images from WordPress to Pinterest with this handy plugin [Invites]
- 19
If you've been looking for an easy way to automatically share images from your WordPress posts on Pinterest, look no further than the free plugin WP Pinner
"This event was off the charts"
Gary Vaynerchuk was so impressed with TNW Conference 2016 he paused mid-talk to applaud us.
WP Pinner sets itself apart from other plugins we've looked at in the past, by offering users the option to auto-post images from WordPress directly to Pinterest, with minimal effort.
The plugin comes to us courtesy of Wilco de Kreij, a Dutch online marketer and Mark Ramos, a programmer. Explaining the inspiration behind the plugin, Wilco told The Next Web:
"Since I'm always trying and testing new platforms to market on, I also started playing around with Pinterest, but soon enough there weren't any really great tools around (yet). That's when I got in touch with Mark who's a far better programmer than I'm myself, and we spoke about creating a tool, for my own use."
What started out a private project for personal use, Mark and Wilco decided that they would rather share it publicly.
How the plugin works
Once you've installed the plugin, all you'll need to do is login to your Pinterest account, and select the default Pinterest board you want your images to appear on.
You can also choose whether or not to enable WP Pinner on posts and pages, and choose what pins link to – your home URL, post URL, a custom URL or nothing at all.
The great thing about WP Pinner is that it gives you quite a bit of flexibility when it comes to each post itself.
When creating a post, you can choose whether or not to auto-post to Pinterest, in case you don't want to flood your boards with every single thing you share on your blog.
If the post has multiple images, you can also select the image you want to use, add a description, and choose which board it will be pinned to.
Publishing your post will see the image pinned to Pinterest immediately.
At the moment, you can't post videos to Pinterest using WP Pinner, but it's definitely a feature on the to-do list, along with scheduled posts.
Once the plugin has been updated to include scheduling, even if you don't use WordPress on a regular basis, you can use WP Pinner to schedule your Pinterest posts, a feature which would no doubt come in handy for some power users.
A bit of analytics for good measure
Aside from taking all the hard work out of sharing your WordPress blog posts on Pinterest, WP Pinner throws in a bit of analytics for good measure.
From the comfort of your WordPress dashboard, you can find out how many Pinterest users clicked through to your WordPress post, as well as see how many likes and repins each post received.
As far as analytics are concerned, WP Pinner does have a bit of competition in the space in the form of Pinerly (which we covered here) and Pintics. WP Pinner sets itself apart from Pinerly in one significant way.
The process of posting to Pinterest is much easier and more streamlined using the WordPress plugin. And if you're already sharing a lot of content on WordPress, using the automated plugin is far more efficient than Pinerly's two-step process.
Of course, on the flip side, Pinerly allows you to keep track of content you're sharing on Pinterest, from anywhere around the Web.
Our Verdict
We're fans of anything that makes our lives easier, and automation is always a welcome addition to any service we're using on a regular basis – and WP Pinner hits all of those points, and does it well.
If you're running your site or blog using WordPress, WP Pinner is a natural choice for heavy-duty Pinterest users, and if you haven't given Pinterest a try yet, this might be a great way to drive a little bit of extra traffic to your blog.
WP Pinner is the perfect companion for anyone who's serious about both WordPress and Pinterest.
Of course it would be no fun if we didn't give you access to try the plug-in for yourselves. Wilco and Mark have generously promised that the first 100 readers to sign up using this link will be included in WP Pinner's first beta group.

Tools for Working Wood Founded in 1999, Tools for Working Wood is a Brooklyn New York based tool company that specializes in high end tools for woodworking. We also manufacture the Gramercy Tools lines of tools, which includes our highly rated brushes and saws. We only stock one line of power tools Festool because Festool is the kind of company that encourages the high level of service we like to give on all our tools, and in general, as a small company, we try to limit the various brands we stock to best of breed for each type of tool. Most people buy tools because of an immediate need so we stock nearly the complete line of Festool tools, accessories, and expendables in our warehouse ready for immediate delivery. There is free shipping on Festool orders over $150.00 . |

Re: Welcome
Hi Joel,
Welcome to the forum. I wonder where you'll find the time to participate, though. Are you about to retire soon? Keep those good products coming. Tico

Re: Welcome
Thanks everyone for your kind words.
Tico, No I don't have time to actively participate but Fred was kind enough to invite me to join and I will do my best to poke my head in and contribute when I can. I enjoy most forums, I participate in a bunch although far less than I used to. As you pointed out, I just don't have the time. I am not retiring but I need to step back from some activities to focus on Software development. The world is changing and I need to upgrade the computer systems that power Tools for Working Wood - can you imagine the Web site is 12 count-em 12 years old with few visible changes. Time for a much needed upgrade. Incidently software programs are just like power tools. You can be perfectly happy with a ten year old bit of software, then you see one feature of a new system and you don't understand how you lived without it. When I worked for Black & Decker I was in the Industrial Construction division, we made good stuff. What is really impressive about Festool today is how standards have changed. A guide rail used to be a bit of wood or aluminum channel clamped onto a board with C Clamps. As you all know, once you use the next generation of stuff, a guide rail that won't let the tool wander, clamps that are designed to not get in the way, etc, you just don't understand how you can do it any other way. |
Re: Welcome
Joel, welcome, it's very nice to have you here. I know you to be a wealth of knowledge on tools and woodworking.
We understand that you're spread pretty thin these days, and don't expect that you'll be able spend much time here. Just be sure to "subscribe" to your own forum and any other that may interest you. That way you'll get an email notice any time there is any activity on those forums. That can be a real time saver. .
