Vienna - day 27
Loading Map
Read my review - 5/5 stars
I had a tour of Schonbrunn Palace which finished at 5.30, then I had to go back there for a concert at 8.30...I knew if I went back into town with the rest of the tour and back to my hotel I'd pass out, so I dumped the group (again) and stayed and had dinner for one...and what does one have on their first night in vienna? wiener schnitzel and apple strudel...I know I was just being a big stupid tourist, but I shall forever refer to it as 'the night I had dinner at the palace'
coincidence: I did something a bit awesome without meaning to..the palace in Versailles is where Marie Antoinette lived (and died), and this palace is where Maria Theresa (Habsburg) ruled as empress (she had no brothers) - Maria Therese was Marie Antoinette's mother...it was like my own mini family palace tour across the continent (mommy's palace is much nicer, though)...the last of the Habsburg's died just 3 weeks ago)
the palace 'concert' was an orchestra thing playing mozart and strauss...it's not like I know anything about classical music, but I'm in vienna so I really just had to do it....it's quite a shame I have little appreciation for it
Vienna is an absolutely stunning city...beautiful, regal, charming, and with a lot of gorgeous parklands - Austria has 805 parks and is 47% forest)...very much how I imagined paris would be but without the grotesqueness...I kind of want to live here - I know how to count to 10 in german, and how to say please, thank you, good morning and good night - do you think I can get a job?
the aristocracy lived in 'palais' homes like my hotel...the arches on street level were for the horses, then the family (one family per palais) lived on the 3rd and 4th floors, with the servants at the top where the small windows are...all the palais are still in old vienna and are being used as offices, shops or hotels...it's street after street full of these wonderful 18th century buildings, and it makes the city THE most beautiful I have ever been to (my room is the one with the open door on the balcony...epic choice)
my bff Viv once said that if the accommodation she pays for isn't better than her own place, then she may as well stay at home...when she says something wise she absolutely nails it
the majority of tourists here consist of OLD people, gray-haired old people...why don't youngens want to see pretty things? do they all just want to go to london pubs and say they have seen travelled the world?
also among the old people were a lot of arabs...it really made an impression on me...you tend to see arabs anywhere you go, but here it was a bit like Lakemba (non-aussies, nevermind)...it was like 99% old people and arabs, and 1% of me's
the locals are so health conscious! everyone is like a perfect picture of health, and the viennese are so tall...i saw so so many people riding bikes, too...every footpath and every park has a separate bicycle track, and even the walk/don't walk traffic lights have a person riding a bike next to the green or red man
and they are all so polite, not just to tourists or anything, but to each other as well (i sit back and watch, remember)...if i didn't fall in love with this city so much i think it may be a bit creepy, 'Equilibrium/everyone is on drugs' kind of creepy - but oh, it was such a pleasure after the italians
THE DANUBE!! i don't know how it came about, but at one point i realised i had seen (or was about to) see nearly all the major city rivers in the world
i travelled the Mekong from Vietnam to Cambodia, i swam in the Amazon, i recently mini-cruised the Seine in Paris, will see the Rhine in Berlin next week, and today it was the Danube (once the Nile has been checked off the list, what do i do???)
The Danube stretches from the Black Forest in Germany to the Black Sea and is the second longest river in europe (which is the longest?)
we drove a little over an hour to reach the Wachau valley and got a river boat from Spitz to Melk where we visited a thousand-year old Abbey (an abbey is a church/monastery thing, to you non-catholics who may not know that - ME!!! i pretty much just chose a tour with the longest Danube ride...i'm glad i didn't pay attention to the church part)...apparently it's a really important Benedictine Monastery *shrugs* it was really pretty :)
on the long boat ride an old man (from Long Island, hi Laura) started talking to me...we spoke mostly about travelling and, oh shock horror, it appears my voice travels when i speak
jeebus mary and george, someone take me to the fat bastardatarium...i am officially eating her way through europe (I'm even typing this while waiting for food! -I'm also drinking and very tired so I may just crap on about (more) useless stuff than normal)
the viennese are NOT vegetarians...meat meat meat and potatoes rule around here...and if that doesn't suit you, you can always just have chocolate torte (I'll be having one if those too)...I think I just realised that by the time I post this it wi be full of pictures of food
[addendum: i abstained]
TRAIN: the overnight train from Venice to Vienna was a little frightening at first...super tiny rooms which were meant to accommodate THREE PEOPLE! (i booked a single)...i really don't know how 3 people could stand each other all night in that space...the trains also move really fast so you need to be sitting the entire time
i thought all overnight trains would have a restaurant carriage, and though this one didn't, it had a menu up on the wall with snacks you could order from the stewardess...an hour into it i go to ask her for a sandwich and she rolled her eyes and went off at me in german while i stared at her, and when she asked "you don't speak german?" i smiled and said no (instead of what i really wanted to say: no you hairy moll, but i do speak greek food, you want me to shove some tzatziki up your ass?)...an old lady further down the carriage heard the pleasantries and made hand signals at me, then gave me her apple...aaawwwwww
summer in northern europe, where you wear a woolen vest in the noonday sun and sometimes feel chilly!

oh i'm not vegetarian, i'm just not used to so many things on a menu being MEAT...i had cow bits in mushroom sauce this evening, with spinach dumplings...it's was divine
The Viennese are nice? Maybe if you're not German or a local. If you're German they treat you like shit. Everywhere. All the time. And they fight each other, politically speaking, all the time. The rich and the not so rich. It's a very fake kind of society. The Viennese are not at all popular in the rest of Austria. I wonder why... You're lucky you don't understand what they say to each other.
The Rhine isn't in Berlin. Berlin has the Spree and Havel. :)
So glad you loved Vienna. It was the same for Con & I. We were just awestruck with the place and the food.
it's not in berlin? but what about my grand tour of rivers? i will have to come back to germany, HAVE TO
I think you need to write a book on your travels proper Nicky! I want to hear more about this swimming in the Amazon and travelling to Vietnam etc! Vienna sounds gorgeous. My gran loved Vienna enough to travel there twice over any other country she'd visited (and my gran had the itchy feet for travel always). xox
Hey bb, just caught up with you! So jealous you're in Italy- I've always wanted to go! My best friend's sister spent a semester of University in Florence and LOVED IT! I went through all of her like 300 pictures. So yeah, I'd love to go with you- as long as you pay for me, LOL!!!
Hope you're still having a great time and stay safe!
<3 Laura
italy was aaaages ago...lol...i'm so tired! i've since been to Austria and Czech Republic...off to Germany tomorrow!

The Unique Taste of Penang Hokkien Mee
Penang very own Hokkien MeeNothing beats on a lazy Sunday morning than
to stroll along the popular streets of Penang
and to try out Penang famous dish - "Hokkien
mee". Arguably Penang most favored dish,
Hokkien mee or "Prawn noodles" has long been
one of the favorites' among the locals.
There are two version of Hokkien mee in
Penang - One is the soup base and the
others are the dry type. Ask any Penangites
what is their definition of Hokkien mee and you'll definitely get the same answer. It's a blanched "bee hoon" or "mee" and added with crunchy bean sprouts, kangkung, eggs and sliced prawns with meat laid on top.
Together with the good aromatic stock made from prawns, onion, chili paste and served with a sprinkling of fragrant "eu chang" - Shallot fritters, it is the perfect
blend which made up the delicious Hokkien mee.
The dry version is called "Hokkien char" by the locals and it is made with fat noodles dried with dark soya sauce and eaten with sambal belacan. A slightly different taste but it is just as delicious.
In the olden days, Hokkien mee sellers usually push or cycle their stall along the neighborhood "calling out" loud to tell people about their particular dish, but today the location are fixed at either coffee shops or hawker centre.
Throughout the island, you can find many places selling Hokkien mee. From Teluk Bahang to Jelutong and from Balik Pulau to Air Itam. The famous ones are perhaps located at Pulau Tikus and Perak Road Market. They have halal or non-halal version of Hokkien mee and is served together with additional top up such as chicken feet, spare ribs, intestines and others ingredients.
In Penang, if you want to find a best kept secret of Hokkien mee, it will mean only one thing - Longer waiting time and a little bit of patience.
There is a place in Pulau Tikus where I need to wait up to 45 minute for a bowl of Hokkien mee. The number of customer far exceed the capacity at that times and the temper get a little bit heat up - I must admit. But... When the aromatic prawn noodles is served on the table, all the antagonized wait will be quickly forgotten and buried in the midst of delicious and alluring taste of the spicy noodles.
Normally, sellers of Hokkien mee is a family run business that has been pass down for generation. There is a place in Tanjung Bungah coffee shop where the noodles sellers has been making and selling Hokkien mee for more than 10 years. According to the owner, the secret recipes have been inherited by them from their father who has been doing the business for the past 50 years.
Now, their own sons and daughter also starts to help out especially after school and during weekend to ensure that the family run business remains in good hands. The family routine starts at 4am in morning, preparing all the ingredients and ensure all will be ready before 6am. The laborious and painstaking prawn stocks is prepared and cooked every day to ensure its freshness. By 6:30am, customer starts to flock into the shops and from there the business started.
You might not notice it, but normally customer who ordered Hokkien mee has their own preference - more of this and none of that. Some wants to add more sambal, some more kangkung and some wants it extra large. It's fascinating to see the sellers remembering all the orders even during serving up the bowls of scrumptious, piping hot noodles and soup with mind boggling accuracy, speed and deftness.
Although the noodles is also sold in others part of Malaysia, but for the penangites or Hokkien mee lovers, Penang style noodles is special and has a distinctive taste of its own. You can never find the same taste anywhere else.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
In a battle of heavyweight contenders from the Eastern and Western Conference, the Western Conference got the upper hand when the St. Louis Blues narrowly defeated the Boston Bruins in a shootout victory.
If you looked at the two teams on paper they were incredibly even matched and when you watched the game on the ice you knew that the statistics didn't lie. This game was a battle down to the very last shootout goal.
The first period started out as expected with each team flying around the rink and throwing their bodies into anything that moved. Both teams got their opportunities in the offensive zone and fired off shot after shot. Both goalies and defenses were able to hold their own for most of the first period.
Then in the 18th minute, Gregory Campbell fired a shot wide that St. Louis had trouble getting out of the zone. Torey Krug gained the puck at the offensive blue line and fed it in deep to Daniel Paille who then quickly got it to Campbell and he beat Jaroslav Halak for the first goal of the game.
However, the Blues would get the goal back a mere 31 seconds later when Derek Roy tipped in a softly sliding puck. The goal can only be described as soft. The puck had the speed of that which was shot by a pee wee hockey player and was sliding slowly towards Tuuka Rask who had a clear view of it the whole way. Regardless, the puck found its way through Rask's five-hole and tied the game at one.
The first period ended in a 1-1 tie and it was clear that both teams had brought their "A" game.
The second period saw more of the same. Each team was still playing physically and putting everything they could on the net. It was also a clean game as there had been no penalties called to this point.
In the 16th minute St. Louis was able to take its first lead as David Backes, with incredible hand eye coordination, was in traffic and redirected a shot by Kevin Shattenkirk.
They wouldn't hold the lead for long as Carl Soderberg snapped a shot by Halak at the 18:41mark.
As seemed to be the theme throughout the night the teams headed into the locker room all tied up through two.
While the game wasn't short on action, it was short on goals. The action during the third period consisted solely of the only two penalties called, one for each team. That's just one indication of how evenly matched the entire game was played.
St. Louis with the best power play in the NHL got their first of the night when Matt Bartkowski was called for holding at a little under two minutes into the period. The aforementioned Blues power play was stymied by the just as apt Bruins penalty kill and held to only two shots.
The Bruins got their chance at 8:56 when Barrett Jackman was whistled for interference. Wouldn't you know it the Bruins were only able to muster two shots during their power play.
As the period wore on it became clear that this one was going to be decided in extra time. It was only fitting as each team deserved at least a point for the way that they were playing.
The overtime period played out exactly like the first three periods as each team played furious four on four hockey only to come up short in the goal department.
It was actually a disappointment whether you were a Blues or Bruins fan to see this one head into a shootout. Watching the game you found yourself wishing that this was a playoff game and that the overtimes would continue until one team mustered that one hockey play to win it. This game was just hockey at its best and a great game for any hockey fan.
However, it went into a shootout and the Blues got the extra point as both Alex Steen and Roy were able to beat Rask while only Patrice Bergeron could solve Halak.
The Bruins were able to maintain their conference lead with the loss but now must set their sights on Carolina who will be in Boston for a Saturday afternoon game. Following that game the Bruins have a tough match-up at home against the always dangerous Pittsburgh Penguins.

This Woman Has Been Collecting Welfare for 12 Years – Here's What She Thinks about Getting a Job
by Gina Cassini | Top Right News
The woman in the video is Exhibit A of our broken welfare system, She is Kiara, 30 years old. She has been on welfare since the age of 18. That's 12 years on government aid.
She does not have a job and doesn't think she should get one. When asked how she feels about not having a job, she says, "I'm comfortable with it and I feel like I don't need to look for one [a job] because I get a check from the government every month."
She does look very comfortable. She certainly isn't struggling too much to afford all the tattoos she wants, as well as a pricey handbag, hair braiding and nail job. But what she will never be able to do is provide an example of work to her children, and the cycle will go on to the next generation, just as the Democrats and LBJ designed it.
So what is Barack Obama doing to help the situation? Actually, he did something to make it much, much worse. In July 2012, Obama issued a directive gutting the Welfare Reform law that a bipartisan Congress passed and Bill Clinton signed in 1996:
This afternoon, President Obama's Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released an official policy directive undermining the welfare reform law of 1996. The new policy guts the federal work requirements that have been the foundation of that law — one of the most successful domestic policy reforms in the 20th century.
The result is the end of welfare reform as we know it.
Why did Obama do this? Google "Cloward Piven" and it may all start to make sense.
Illegal Aliens and Activists on White House Facebook Page: 'F*** All You White People,' We Won
by Jason DeWitt | Top Right News
Illegal aliens and their supporters are declaring victory on the White House's Facebook page over Obama impending amnesty executive order. But more than simply whoopin' it up over our Dear Leader's latest tyrannical seizure of power, they are specifically calling out "White people".
Remember that this is the official White House's page, right under Obama's announcement of the order, expected Thursday. And the White House is allowing clearly racist comments like the ones below.
As of this print, not a single one of these comments were removed. Racist comments by pro-illegal alien activists fill the page. Here are just some of them, as reported by Aurelius of PunditPress:
Over on Twitter, more Obama supporters showing that his amnesty decree has nothing to do with racial politics. Well…not exactly.

text: SHANGHAI and LAS VEGAS, Feb. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Aspect™ Gaming announced the acquisition of Longshot Interactive, further strengthening Aspect's leadership position as the premier supplier of Asian-focused casino content. The acquisition adds a valuable portfolio of proprietary baccarat variants to Aspect's existing library of slot offerings. Baccarat adds a significant dimension to Aspect's core competencies. "In Macau alone, baccarat accounts for more than 90% of last year's USD38 billion gaming revenues. While electronic table games (ETGs) adoption is growing rapidly, it's based on 'public domain' baccarat, so dependence on high wagers and/or volume remains a problem for mass market play. Longshot's baccarat variants, on the other hand, provide the player with a perceived edge and higher volatility, while increasing hold for the house. Ultimately, we feel these baccarat variants will be the basis for the 'video poker of Asia,'" according to Aspect's CEO, Justin Nguyen. Aspect's games combine art, sound, math, play mechanics, and advance technology to create casino gaming content with a high degree of player appeal to Asian demographics. The Company's vast library of GLI and Macau regulation compliant games are based upon themes of Chinese cultural significance, all developed in-house with local Chinese design and R&D teams. "Aspect and Longshot share a belief that gaming growth will be driven by the rising Chinese middle class and both are dedicated to bringing culturally relevant and compelling content to this market," said Ameesh Patel, Longshot's CEO. "Now that we're a part of Aspect, we're able to fully utilize Aspect's China game studio and significantly accelerate our time to market." Aspect's highly experienced management team will oversee the integration of the new baccarat game variants into its game platform to deploy into land-based, online, social and mobile casinos for both free-to-play and real money wagering. "Our strength has always been our ability to quickly bring new products, featuring some of the industry's highest production values, to highly regulated markets and we're very excited to be able to introduce these truly innovative baccarat games into so many different channels," said Tony Payne, Aspect's EVP of Product Development. Concurrent with the acquisition, the principals of Longshot Interactive will be joining Aspect's Advisory Board. " Ameesh Patel, Jeffrey Fine, Ofir Ventura, John Lin and Seth Schorr's extensive experience at some of the world's leading gaming companies brings a combined 100 years of gaming industry experience to Aspect and we're delighted to have them help guide Aspect's growth," added Justin Nguyen. About Aspect Gaming Founded in 2008 with offices in Shanghai and Macau, Aspect Gaming ("Aspect") is a gaming supplier operating at the convergence of land-based, online, mobile and social casino gaming, with an emphasis on Asia.

Mayhem # 1291807
About MeI sing and write music. I love to dance (swing, salsa). I like the stage.
What to Expect from me:
I'm interested in creating art and participating in any kind of photo shoot that is cool/interesting/fun/unique; paid print opportunities or TFP are preferred so I can build a portfolio of photos for future purposes (e.g. albums, website, etc.) and credit you. If you'd think I'd fit in with your shoot and want to have some fun, I am your girl! I am not interested in posing nude at this time. I am very easy going/flexible and will add to your shoot by being professional yet fun to work with.
What I expect from you:
I expect that you will be prepared with makeup artist/hair artist/wardrobe (if they are needed) and also ideas for what you are looking for with poses. I also expect that you will not have a problem with my bringing a non-disruptive escort.
Please let me know what you have for me and I look forward to working with you!

The Top 11 Social Media Posts of 2013
For two weeks in December 2013, ShareBloc ran a contest to find the Top Content Marketing Posts of 2013 as part of our open beta launch. More than 640 voters cast their ballots 7,678 times to narrow a competitive field of 175 nominations to the top 50. We covered eight key areas in sales & marketing, including Social Media, which was our second most popular category. Social Media Today received a lion's share of winners, with two posts in the top 10, including the #1 post.
There were 11 social media posts that made it into the top 50. Here are the winners:
3 Things Every Business Needs to Succeed in Social Media by Rachel Strella
#1 in Social Media, #5 in the Overall Contest
Why it was chosen: Sometimes the simplest posts are the best. This certainly is the case with Rachel Strella's succinct post on how to engage with Social Media. Rachel identifies three key elements for social media success: 1) A Strong Operation; 2) Established Marketing; and 3) Commitment. Without all three elements, a business may struggle to succeed with social media.
Key Quote: "Social media is a relationship-building tool – a utility for establishing new relationships or enhancing current relationships. A business will be hard-pressed to find a way to accelerate – or even skip – the 'know/like/trust' process. I urge all businesses to give relationship marketing at least one year before anticipating a steady stream of qualified leads."
Staying Optimistic in Social Media Marketing by Barry Ricks
#2 in Social Media, #11 in the Overall Contest
Why it was chosen: Similar to Rachel's post, Barry lays out a simple framework for creating an engaged and positive social media campaign. For those who see social media marketing as a necessary evil, this post is probably for them. But for the rest of us that sees SMM as an effective way to reach your customers, be sure to heed Barry's four-step program: 1) Have a Plan; 2) Be Active; 3) Celebrate in your Social Media Marketing success; 4) Smile.
Key Quote: "At times it can be hard to stay optimistic, but follow these steps and you'll become a "Glass half full" person and not feel like you're "half empty" in your Social Media Marketing."
50 Small Business Blogs to Watch by Andrea Parker
#3 in Social Media, #16 in the Overall Contest
Why it was chosen: This post has it all and probably should have been tagged as content marketing, sales management and social media. We think our voters liked this post because it gives a broad outlook on all aspects of sales and marketing.
Key Quote: "After several months of talking with key players, asking our loyal fans and surveying small business owners and entrepreneurs, the Big Ideas Blog Team has assembled a list of 50 small business blogs that will help you learn strategies from content marketing and effective copywriting to data analysis and social media with a side of the latest technology and PR tips."
The 3 Rock Solid Questions To Guide 2013 Social Media Success by Jay Baer
#4 in Social Media, #19 in the Overall Contest
Why it was chosen: If you read this article in the beginning of 2013, you were prepped for success in your social media strategy. It's not too late to do the same for 2014. Jay Baer raises three hard questions that every social marketer should ask: 1) How Does Social Media Make Us Money, and How Can We Prove That?; 2) Do We Have Adequate Resources To Succeed?; 3) How Are We Segmenting Our Participation?
Key Quote: "2013 is the year of social optimization. Growth is slowing, and it's time to focus on making money, saving money or both. It is essential that you have a defined social media strategic plan that supports real business objectives like customer acquisition or customer loyalty."
Find the Heart of Your Brand Storytelling with These 6 Questions by Debbie Williams
#5 in Social Media, #28 in the Overall Contest
Why it was chosen: Every brand has a story and Debbie Williams covers the six questions you have to ask yourself before you can do any sort of success brand marketing: 1) What's your reason for being?; 2) What's your history?; 3) Who are your main characters?; 4) What's your corporate mission?; 5) How have you failed?; 6) Where are your gaps?. By providing some structure to your storytelling, you can give your brand a more comprehensive perspective to customers and leads.
Key Quote: "You have to know who you are before you can explain it to someone else. Brands that don't have their core value propositions in place, or have internal discrepancies about what they are even trying to say, will never be able to share their story with the world in an honest and engaging way."
7 insights from Brian Solis on marketing to the new connected consumer by Susan Young
#6 in Social Media, #32 in the Overall Contest
Why it was chosen: Brian Solis is a well-known technologist and digital media analyst and Susan Young pulls together seven insights for marketers in the customer-centric world. The most persistent theme in this piece is Brian's insight that technology alone does not replace marketing insights. Technology and new channels like Facebook are not marketing black holes, but should be seen as a vessel for encouraging experiences and engaging customers differently.
Key Quote: "Consumer behavior is evolving, our technology is evolving, but our business processes, systems, services, and philosophies are not. Our methodologies and value systems are changing to adapt but they are not changing fast enough to lead. Everything I have learned about the future of marketing and branding is this: Behavior first, technology second."
Sales Reps on LinkedIn: You're Doing It Wrong by The Bridge Group
#7 in Social Media, #35 in the Overall Contest
Why it was chosen: We all know LinkedIn is a powerful tool for marketers and salespeople, but not everyone knows how to utilize this platform well. Sales consultancy The Bridge Group put together a great e-book on how to leverage LinkedIn for sales people, and hosted an abridged version of the tell-all. This slideshare doesn't just provide anecdotes or rhetoric but actually drills down step-by-step on how to better user your LinkedIn profile and network.
Key Quote: "You are so much more than your title! Your headline should convey the value you bring to your prospects and customers. For example, doesn't Customer- Centric B2B Software Sales Professional convey more value than 'Sales Executive'? How about Inbound Marketing Specialist versus 'Inside Sales Rep'?."
Beeps and Tweets: Car Companies' Social Media Customer Service Compared by Katie Tandy
#8 in Social Media, #37 in the Overall Contest
Why it was chosen: Sometimes the best insights are done by example. In this highly researched post, Katie Tandy looks at how different car companies manage their social media presence on Twitter. While Silicon Valley darling Tesla Motors leads with 100K+ Twitter followers, they have practically zero engagement with their fans and only tweet once a day. GM, on the other hand, has made Twitter a big part of their social media engagement with 15 new hires and multiple Twitter handles such as @chevycustcare and @gmcustcare. Their average response time depending on the handle can be as low as five hours, which is by far the industry leader.
Key Quote: "While these proactive customer service efforts are, well, great efforts, the bottom line is that their response times are still painfully slow, especially in comparison to leaders in other verticals like fast food – @TacoBell for example – who averages a reply time of under 30 minutes – or @DeltaAssist who answers most tweets under 8 minutes… despite receiving nearly 500 a day."
8 Must-Know Facebook Tips for Small Businesses by Socially Stacked
#9 in Social Media, #39 in the Overall Contest
Why it was chosen: Socially Stacked put together a great two-parter on how to leverage your Facebook page as a small business. Perhaps the most interesting tip is #4, "Be Human." Too often, businesses and brands see social media as an extension of the traditional and sometimes stoic Madison Avenue marketing motif. Platforms like Facebook give businesses the rare opportunity to form a real dialogue with customers, current and potential. Don't forget to put a human face to your company, including sometimes an actual human face, like a star employee or a key member of the marketing team.
Key Quote: "If you're willing, show photos of your employees and your company, talk about birthdays and other special occasions. The more personal you can be with your audience the more your fans can relate to you and will see you as a friend they want to check in with on Facebook versus a brand or business trying to sell something."
9 Simple Tips To Make Your Hashtags Work by Rupert Staines
#10 in Social Media, #42 in the Overall Contest
Why it was chosen: Everyone uses the hashtag but do we use it effectively. You can watch the Jimmy Fallon / Justin Timberlake satire or read Rupert Stine's simple checklist on how to use a hashtag work for your social media campaign. If I had to boil down Rupert's post in one simple suggestion, it'd be a hashtag is like a slogan or a motto: the more succinct, memorable and quotable it is, the better.
Key Quote: "Promote your hashtag. What's the point of a hashtag if nobody sees it or uses it? Stick your hashtag on all your social media websites, on your print marketing materials, at the bottom of your emails, and so on. The more places it's seen, the more people that will use it. That said, there does need to be a reason behind the use, and inviting people to "join the discussion" or "voice their views" by including a hashtag is a good way of boosting engagement."
Is It Time to Close Your Facebook Page? by Alon Popilskis
#11 in Social Media, #44 in the Overall Contest
Why it was chosen: Alon's post is a great reminder that Facebook is just another tool in our distribution channel toolbox and isn't for everyone. Most Facebook brand pages are not viewed by fans and with the recent changes to news feed, this percentage will decrease further. Measure the ROI of acquiring each new Facebook fan and if the math doesn't make sense, maybe Facebook is your channel.
Key Quote: "The bottom line is if you're going to have a Facebook page, make sure you've got a justification for it. And "I'm doing it because all my competitors are doing it" doesn't count. Just because they like to waste money doesn't mean you should."

2012 Jeep Unlimited Wobbles on Hwy when Windy
My 2012 Jeep Unlimited seems wobbly/unstable on the highway when its windy while driving above 65mph.
Is this common? Or should I take it to the dealer to get the suspension checked? I purchased it new so maybe its defective.
Some people telling me that this is common because of the square design. However, that makes no sense to me.
I went from a Lexus IS to the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and this is one of things I noticed as well. You got to admit, the Jeep is not very aerodynamic so it kinda makes sense that it would have difficulty at high speeds, not to mention when windy.
I was driving back from Vegas once at night and the winds were so high that I saw probably 5-6 turned over big-rigs turned over on their side.
Next time it's windy, take a a 4x8 sheet of plywood or cardboard outside.
That will approximate the side profile of your Jeep... but smaller.
Hold the plywood against the wind.
Get a feel for the wind force exerted on the side of your Jeep.
Yes, the wind will push your Jeep around... and it really doesn't take much wind to feel it. Front or side, a Jeep has the aerodynamics of a barn door. :D

Charged Plumming -- Dangerous?
Hey All,
I just moved into a new place with three different roommates (all women) who have been working on getting the house re-modeled for the past little bit.
One of the rooms they worked on is the upstairs bathroom, which I share with one of the girls. She had told me that she had once felt a small shock when turning on the water to the shower, but I took it to mean that she had been shocked with a buildup of static electricity, so I let it go.
However, today when I went to take a shower, I felt a definite sustained electronic charge flow into my hand when I went to turn on the water to the shower, and again when I went to turn on the water in the sink.
I recently read an article online (found at http://forums.cnet.com/5208-6130_102...sageID=2960625) about an Army Green Beret that had been electrocuted while taking a shower in Iraq, which brings me to question whether or not this shower and bathroom is actually safe to use.
So that, really, is my questions-- should I demand a repair to the bathroom and shower elsewhere until the situation is fixed, or is this not a serious safety concern? Also, what's the best course of action to fix this problem?
Call an electrician. A grounding conductor to the main service needs to be run to the plumbing lines. This needs to be checked out. Sometimes the main valve is replaced and this connection was not put back together. Yes... it is a major concern.
I'd gladly call an electrician... but alas, this isn't my house, though I am renting here. The girl who owns the house only wants her dad working on the place. Is this something that an amateur could successfully attempt to fix?
yes.. post back with what he sees. From the main panel there must be a wire, usually a #6 or #4 bare wire grounding the copper plumbing lines. If you have a main valve this must have a copper wire the same size to jump out this valve. This means the wire is connected to both ends so if this is replaced, you still do not loose this connection. if these items are okay you will need to do more investigation. But this is likely to be the problem.
I will definitely let you know how it goes. Incidentally, I just spoke with the homeowner, who said that she had an inspector check things out a couple of months ago and said that the problem was with "the hot and cold water intake." I'm not really sure what that would mean, but it still seriously concerns me.
I'd get it fixed ASAP
As Bob said, this is not a minor issue
Thanks guys, I appreciate it. I'm passing the research along to the homeowner; if she refuses to get a fix for it ASAP, I'm getting out of here.
In the mean time, unless anyone says anything to the contrary, I'm taking my showers elsewhere.
Does anyone know if this problem is usually confined to one room, or effects the whole house?
If the cold water bond (what others have described as the likely problem) is missing, it'll affect the whole house.
If the water heater is electric, I'd look at it as well.
I would be hard pressed to take a shower in that room and then only with galoshes and rubber gloves on, who knows with your 3 room mates that may be fun.
You stated someone did work in that room, what was it they did? normally a situation like that only arises when a section of metallic cold water pipe was replaced with a plastic pipe and the installer didn't know to put a bonding jumper between the two now isolated pieces. This could of been done in the basement as well as the bathroom - leave no stone unturned.
If all piping to the tub was plastic (PVC) then you would have no problem, I would hazard to guess that either the drain or faucet now has a floating ground - no pun intended. Reaching out of the tub and grabbing something metal connected to the building frame or electrical system could kill you.
You asked if it was one room or the whole house, well it could be both or just the bath, are you willing to stand bare footed in front of the kitchen sink in a pool of water that has a wire tied into the fuse box? shoes and even socks are insulators and won't put you in the same perils as the shower. also note that bare feet on concrete would be very close to being in your shower.
Was anything else done to the house? not to scare you but in certain situations if someone reversed the polarity on a replaced outlet touching both your stove and refrigerator on bare metal at the same time could result in pain or death. There are probably thousands of households in the USA with that potential but luckily the enamel paint on the appliances are keeping those people alive - for now.
There has been a lot of work done to this house, but I have no idea what exactly has been done. Apparently only her dad has worked on the place.
After showing her this thread and some of the research I've done, she's agreed to take this seriously and get things squared away ASAP. Thanks everyone!
And by the way... I'll pass the goulashes and rubber gloves suggestion on to the roommates... :D
As an electrician we always work with a helper for safety so someone is there if we get shocked. So tell her until it is fixed that you need one of them in the shower with you for safety.
Well, if it's all in the name of safety...
And as an industrial electrician I was required to take PPE and arc flash training along the Red Cross CPR certifications, just remember don't wait if it looks like trouble just place both your hands on their chest and pump while putting your mouth on their lips and blow.
I use to joke when having to swap a 480 volt breaker while hot because we couldn't shut the panel down and get on the two way radio and say ok who remembers their CPR training, for some odd reason nobody ever wanted to spot a 250 pound white guy with bacon breath.
Depending upon where you live (State) her Daddy can't work on the electrical. If it's a rental it is commercial property and homeowners can only do electrical work on there own residence. Her dad is most likely some shmuck who doesn't have a clue and neither does your landlord. Call the state board of electricity or your local electrical inspector and find out what the rules are in your area. Make sure you call the state board. If daddy wants to work on and kill his own daughter, have at it, but he should not be allowed to just kill random strangers. Turn the SOB in!
As an amateur you can ground it yourself. Take a long length of wire (I suggest 16 gauge or thicker) and tie one end to the faucet assembly (the shower arm is better if you know a metal pipe connects the two). Run the cable through rooms and hallways and stairs (preferably stapled neatly along baseboards and up and around doorways) down to the basement and connect it to the ground bus bar in the breaker panel. Have the power off when you do this project.

The people of Kenya are attempting to deal with the horror that arose during last year's presidential election when Kibaki government unleashed violence against their opponents, many of whom were of different tribal groups. The conflict now emerging is whether those who perpetuated the violence should be tried before the International Criminal Court of Justice or should trials be conducted at the local level. At a meeting with Kenyans in the United States, Prime Minister Raila Odinga said he supported trials being conducted by the Truth Justice and Reconciliation Commission, but he has now come out in support of trials at the local level by local courts.
The question is whether it is possible to have "justice" if defendants are tried at the local level. Many believe it might be necessary to have trials conducted by outside groups such as the International Criminal Court. However, South Africa was able to try defendants by their Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

The map of Mexico contains many inspirational locations to visit and
If you were to travel across the country, you could discover a wide variety of modern landmarks, luxury vacation destinations, conservation areas of natural beauty and historical archeological sites.
Three different time zones are present within the geographical confines of Mexico. For example, if you travel through different states in the country you may have to adjust your watch accordingly to fit in with the variations of the local time zone.
31 States are situated within the country, there is also one federal district which is where Mexico City is located.
The Northern states of Mexico include Baja California, Sonora and Chihuahua. The southern states include Guerrero, Oaxaca and Chiapas.
Three other countries share the border to the map of Mexico. The US border separates The United States of America with the northern states. In the South, the countries of Guatemala and Belize border the southern Mexican states.
A fusion of combined cultural influences have left behind many fascinating sites of interest to explore. Many Mayan and Aztec archaeological sites are still present on the Mexican map today.
You can also discover a combination of modern skyscrapers, beautiful churches and fascinating historical buildings if you visit Mexico City.
Many of the most prominent sites though, can be located within the areas of Quintana Roo and the Yucatan Peninsula. These regions are also home to a range of popular tourist destinations and vacation hubs.
The tourist hot spots of Riviera Maya and Cancun offer an ideal
location for tourists. The resorts are situated with views
facing out at the Caribbean Sea.
A wide selection of hotels can be found along the coast of the map. Resorts are dotted along the landscape stretching from the Cancun to Playa del Carmen, Puerto Aventuras, Akumal and Tulum.

Good day, ladies and gentlemen. It is not often that I come before you to review games, the last one having been Dark Souls II. I don't often feel the need to review games, in other words to praise or blast them to some extent or the other. However, The Evil Within gripped me in particular ways, and today I will lay before you what I thought about just every aspect of the game. Some is very good, some not so much, but in the end there is so very much to talk about. I'll just say right off the bat that if you are looking for a great horror game to scratch that itch you've had since Resident Evil 4, this one is just right.
In The Evil Within, you play Sebastian Castellanos, a very detective-y detective who possesses about just as much personality as a fridge door. An empty fridge door. In a way, he's everything a Resident Evil hero should be: bland, lifeless and all-around somewhat ridiculous. Responding to a call for a homicide at a mental hospital, it doesn't take long at all for things to go south. And before you know it, you're in a creepy village picking off the infected with well-placed headshots.
I won't lie to you, I was very impressed. When I sat down with the game, I had mild expectations. However, I was soon overcome by a feeling that is incredible to feel as a gamer. I knew two chapters in that I would finish this game and that I would probably play it a second time. This is very significant because, at my age and with all the games I've played, I don't often come across one that I just love every minute of. I'm jaded in that way. The only times this has happened in recent memory was when I first played Dark Souls and Persona 4. Now that's saying something.
In essence, it is very much like Resident Evil 4. Some people are calling it "what Resident Evil 5 should have been", and I can see why. It has the same kind of level design, progression and general gameplay. It just builds correctly upon the formula established by the fourth installment, something RE5 was never able to do. The enemies are varied and you never feel like you're playing an action game even though, at times, you are effectively playing an action game. It doesn't throw astronomical amounts of enemies at you, but they are all very resilient and tough to kill. Just one villager catching you in a corner can give you headaches. So when you see three shambling towards you, you have to be quick on your feet to decide which tool will work best for the job while using the least ammo.
Where I think they did a great job was in creating this new setting. The game is very reminiscent of Silent Hill and Resident Evil at the same time, yet doesn't just throw the two in a blender and hope for the best. Instead, it seems the two were perfectly wed, like chocolate and peanut butter in Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. It's medieval, it's industrial, it's bloody, it's metallic and there is a lot of barbed wire. A lot of boss monsters are iconic figures in the making and I believe the game itself is a modern classic in the making that will stand the test of time. And I want to talk about that aspect a little more.
There are a lot of "AAA" games that come out every year. Most of them are good, quality experiences that are very polished. The Evil Within is no different in that sense, even though it's rough around the edges in the graphical department. In a manner characteristic of titles with high production values, the world is very detailed and the gunplay is intricate and precise. However, in my opinion it goes above and beyond what other high-profile releases do because The Evil Within has personality. You can very clearly feel throughout the entire course of the game that it was made with passion, the kind of passion you typically see in independent productions. Even though it was probably pieced together from various departments, you can feel the hand of an artist pulling the strings behind the scenes. And that artist is Shinji Mikami.
Not only do I think this game will spawn a franchise, I think that in ten years, people will be fondly remembering it as they do Resident Evil 4 today. Sure, there are some graphical artifacts (graveyard, anyone?), and the polygon count is probably not what it should be for a "next-gen" title, but it is one of the most effective horror games I have been given the chance to play. It doesn't insult your intelligence with jump scares and the quantity of ammo you are given on higher difficulties is just right and balanced for survival horror. There is a lot of action to work through, but it always feels like you are on the defensive, as you should be in a survival horror game. It finds the right balance between a horror game that gives you too many weapons and a horror game that gives you none. Just like Resident Evil 4.
This game has no rules. You don't follow a logical, linear geographical path in the traditional sense. If you've played the game, you know what I'm talking about. It seems you're just teleported and dropped from one area to the next. It is quite interesting to play the game knowing that it doesn't really give two shits that you were just in a farm area. You'll black out and wake up in a castle. Why?
The upgrade system also has more impact than I would have expected. An upgraded pistol is absolutely deadly on lesser foes and having a few more life points or stamina can go a long way. I do wish that they gave you maybe a little more variety in weapon choice. You get the standard pistol, shotgun and sniper rifle, but there is only one type of each. Part of the fun of RE4 was choosing what worked best for you as a pistol (I personally always favored the Red9). The agony crossbow kind of fills that void by giving you a variety of arrows, but it's otherwise just a fancier version of the mine thrower.
All in all, The Evil Within might not be a masterpiece, but I think it will become one as the years pass. And so it is for that reason that I will award it a perfect 10 out of a possible 10 points. I want people to look at my review in ten years and marvel at the insight I had to see the game for what it really was. And that is when I will be recognized as a prophet.
And that is all there is to say about that. As always, thank you for reading, do not forget to comment, and, of course...

Overwhelmed by traffic congestion and sprawl, many states are looking for ways to narrow roads and slow cars, while adding bike lanes, trails, and other amenities. This New York Times Magazine article discusses the growing movement in state DOTs, which PPS pioneered in New Jersey five years ago, and points to several new projects that PPS is involved in, including training New Hampshire transportation engineers. In the article, Andy Wiley-Schwartz, Vice President of Transportation at PPS, says that road engineers, "are realizing that they are in the community-development business and not just in the facilities-development business."
