Video is an essential tool to use on your websites and for marketing your company. It shares information about your company, what your services are, and why you can help the visitors to your site. Before you get into adding the video to your site, consider the the message you want to share, how to make a video, and determine if you need the help of a professional.
Audience and The Message
There are always questions to answer before you start learning how to make a video. The basic one is what do you want to say in the video? If the video is providing information, it is pretty straight forward.
First, consider the audience you wish to get information to. This is where your research for the target market comes in. To reach the people that need your service/product you want to make sure your message is in their language. Ask yourself:
Who are the visitors that are coming to my site?
What do they want to know about my company?
What do they want to know about your services?
How can your company help them?
Second, get their attention. From the open, grab their attention and keep it. Ask a question, tell a story, or even share some statistics. The tone, pitch, and timing of your voice will help them stay with you in the video.
Once it is clear who you are talking to and what you want to say, you are ready to consider how to make the video. We will consider the easiest way to get started with making the video.
How To Make A Video
Since there are many ways to make your video, I will only mention the basics here. The things needed for this is your script, a video camera, and a video host.
The basic steps for creating a video:
- Write your script
- Shoot and edit your video
- Posting it to your site.
When writing the script keep it clear, concise and to the point. One mistake to avoid is to overdue the information. this will lose your viewer and make the video useless. When you shoot the video, consider the background you want in the video, your equipment, music, and audio. The biggest challenge for someone unfamiliar with using this type of media will be transferring it to your PC. One software package that is user friendly is Windows Movie Maker. I would recommend this for editing in that it makes it easy to add effects and audio.
Once the video is edited and passes your critique, posting to the site is your goal. There are considerations to think about like bandwidth and where to host your video if your site doesn't have that service. There are many free sites to host the video, such as YouTube.com. There is also coding involved with HTML tags and script that will need to be added to your site. However, the editor of your website or your webmaster could take care of that for you.
Hire a Professional?
This is where you have decide if the video is getting the response you want or need. I would invite some of your friends or family to view it. See if there is improvement needed, or if you missed the mark completely. If the video is good enough that you are comfortable with it, the video is a winner. Ask the tough questions, did your contacts increase after you added the video or did you have negative reactions?
Another consideration is going to be the budget for your project. I would consult some online production companies to see if they could quote you a price or suggest what you could do next. Video is definitely a must have for marketing your company

Considering an M6
Hi everyone.
In the fall I am deciding between either a 2013 650i xDrive, or the M6. Living in the NE, and given the tremendous torque these cars have, I am leaning towards AWD. But this car won't be a daily driver, and likely see <5000 miles per year, so I think a RWD car would still be doable assuming I have the right tires per season. On the other hand, I don't feel like driving my wife's car every time the weather gets hairy.
Can anyone with M6 experience living in the Northeast chime in? How does it work in the snow, assuming just a few inches and some good snow shoes? How about regular driving in the rain, or sandy/salty roads? Is traction control continually making its presence known? Can you rip out of a parking lot without breaking the arse-end out? The one good thing about the 2013 xDrive is that the HP bump is considerable, and all of it usable given the power delivery. Both cars are tremendously fast, but only one is an M.
If anyone has any experience I'd love to hear it! :thumbup:
I live in NJ which gets a considerable amount of snow in the winter. However, it is a crap shoot. This year, we didn't see any snow. The year before, we got tremendous amounts. Anyway, it is so new that no one will probably have any feedback until winter comes along. I have two other cars that I can use in the snow so it wasn't really a consideration when I bought the M6. I have driven it in the rain and saw no problems with traction at all in low and high speed driving. Maybe get a fwd or awd second car that you can use in bad weather?
Thanks Jettie,
My wife's SUV is always available in a pinch - so I'd be covered if needed. But it's a big let down driving that thing. My previous 5-series saw 3 days of snow this season, and about 100 days of sand, salt and related debris - which I see as just as important. That car was severely hampered by the summer performance tires (duh) - something I won't repeat for this coming season. I've used Blizzak's on a RWD car before and was very impressed. But I wonder, if I am putting winter tires on my M6 for 6 months at a time, with the resulting reduced driving dynamics, is there a point in getting an M over the vanilla xDrive?
In New England (RI to be exact). I didn't mean to give the impression we were frequently snowbound, but the winters from season to season can change pretty dramatically (you know this of course). And after the first few snow falls the roads are rather suspect with all the sand, salt and melt/mud that stays behind - usually for months at a time. And of course it's always rather cold regardless. It's nothing that a lack of stupidity can't take care of, but it may still skew me toward the xDrive.
Want a coupe!!!
Well, just as an update - looks like I will be moving forward with the 2013 M6 instead of the 2013 xDrive. Build details are below:
Singapore Grey Metallic
Canyon Brown Full Merino Leather. (was Amaro Brown Full Merino Leather, including the alcantara headliner)
Piano Finish Black Trim
Driver Assistance Package
Executive Package
B&O Sound System
Looks like I will be taking delivery in the fall, so I will have them swap the summer tires for a proper set of Pirelli Sotozero winters. Looking forward to it!
Google the color and lots of pics will show up. It's teh sex!
That Singapore Grey is indeed teh sex and would be my first choice if I were to get an ///M6
Thank folks. jettie - the story in a nutshell is that I ordered a 2012 xDrive several months ago, before delivery and upon hearing about the 2013 HP bump, I wanted to refuse delivery of the 2012, and put in an order for a 2013 instead. I was slightly miffed given how new the 650 is, and it was something I basically predicted a while back, but was told by the dealer not to expect it. So I gave them 3 options 1) I refuse delivery of the 2012, eat the deposit, and order a 2013. 2) Eat the deposit and go elsewhere with my business entirely. 3) Take delivery of the 2012 and trade for a 2013 assuming they make me a good deal on the trade in.
I chose 3 because they are basically giving me full value for my 2012, with minimal depreciation upon trade. For the M6, the transaction is a bit less advantageous for me given that it is more sought after, but worth it IMO.
Just a tweak to the order. Going with the full canyon brown interior, not amaro. I don't get the lighter headliner, but I like the color better overall.
Thanks for reminding me! Had to cancel my xDrive "regular." Getting 2 6ers - now that would've been AWKWAAAARD!
What's wrong with getting both? Then you'd have one that stays composed in all situations and the other is all kinds of fun by being a freak in the sheets... I mean on the streets.
I want to clarify that I'm talking about the cars in case that wasn't clear ;)
Now in production! Status 155 as of yesterday!
On the boat!
PS. In case anyone is actually following this.
Let's pray for 2 weeks. It'll be the longest 2 weeks in a long time!
I dono...for some 10 years ago being on the boat could be considered the hardest...and worst part :rofl:
Had to bring it up, the set up was there :)

Curly girl and Hello Hydration?
I started the Curly Girl method 3 years ago...and I thought I was doing it correctly. I thought that Hello Hydration conditioner was CG approved, but now that I've been researching again, I think it has silicones. Is it not CG friendly? Do I need to start over with a sulfate shampoo? Or can I do a low poo? I have some DevaCurl low poo I could use.
Hello Hydration is not CG friendly, because it has cones!!!Look: this is the INCI of the shampoo
water, ammonium lauryl sulfate, ammonium laureth sulfate, sodium chloride, cocamide mea, glycol distearate, dimethicone, ammonium xylenesulfonate, vanilla planifolia fruit extract, cocos nucifera (coconut) milk, fragrance, cetyl alcohol, polyquaternium-10, sodium citrate, sodium benzoate, disodium edta, peg 7m, citric acid, propylene glycol, methylchloroisothiazolinone, methylisothiazolinone, blue 1.
Ingredient Attributes: paraben free, protein free, glycerin free
And this is the conditioner's one:
water, stearyl alcohol, cyclopentasiloxane, cetyl alcohol, stearamidopropyl dimethylamine, dimethicone, vanilla planifolia fruit extract, cocos nucifera (coconut) milk, fragrance, glutamic acid, benzyl alcohol, edta, methylchloroisothiazolinone, methylisothiazolinone, blue 1
Ingredient Attributes: sulfate free, paraben free, protein free, glycerin free
To eliminate the cones, you should use a sulfates shampoo without cones and follow with a conditioner without cones. There are a lot of natural lines! If you live in the USA, you can choose a lot of products that will work better than HE line.
You'll spend more, but it worths the price, don't worry!!!=D
You don't need a sulfate shampoo. A low poo containing Cocamidopropyl Betaine or Cocobetaine will remove any silicones from your hair, without the stripping effect of a sulfate shampoo.
You can id a silicone in an ingredient list if it ends in -cone, -conol, or -xane. If there's a PEG or PPG in the beginning, that means it's a water soluble silicone and a cowash will remove it. If the silicone isn't a PEG or PPG one, then it's not water soluble, can't be cowashed out and requires a low poo for removal... not CG friendly. Dimethicone Copolyol is an exception to the rule, as it is water soluble. However, it's often paired with other silicones that aren't CG friendly, so read the ingredients carefully. Methylchloroisothiazolinone and Methylisothiazolinone look like silicones, but they end in -none and are preservatives.
Thanks, Ladies. I don't know why I thought Hello Hydration was ok. Looks like I'll be starting my routine over. :icon_smile:

Yes. I am under suspicion about the carb now. As for the stumbling, here is an example. The entrance to my driveway has a street drain that runs across it so it is sort of dished. When the car is acting up, if I go over this dip...at any speed... the car begins to stumble and it is very difficult to keep running. Also if I pull to a stop sign and leave it in gear (automatic), and I don't add choke to it, put it in neutral or some other corrective manipulation of the throttle, it will die. Going downhill at a moderate incline it will begin stumbling and could potentially die, again applying choke saves it (or modulating the gas pedal). It just ends up being a lot of work to keep the thing idling without a stall. On the open road at speed though I'm not seeing any problems. I should mention a week ago I went for a drive and the car was absolutely flawless and exhibited none of these problems. I parked it and started driving it again 2 days later and it was back to its shenanigans.

This week we're going to look at another open water option besides a jigging spoon. Now I'm not saying a spoon doesn't work. It does. I'd hate to have to count all of the smallmouth I've caught on one of those things over the years. But recently I've discovered another way to catch them when they're out, away from the bank.
It starts with some of the new Humminbird combos. They're so fancy that it's hard to believe. The stuff that was available just a few years ago is nothing when compared to them. In open water you can see the bottom, the sides, the baitfish and the smallmouth. It's like looking at a TV screen.
They're good anywhere. I wouldn't trade mine no matter where I was fishing. They're especially effective when you're in open water, however. One of the best features on them is that they'll show you 240 feet of water on either side of the boat. Heck, that's farther than most of us can cast!
In practical terms that means you can use your big motor to locate structure, baitfish and bass without ever going near them. You won't scare them or alter their behavior in any way. That's a huge advantage when you stop to think about it, and it sure beats running over the top of them with your trolling motor on high.
I've been using my new Humminbird lately to locate open water bass and then targeting them with a horizontal presentation using a Fish Head Spin by Swarming Hornet Lures. These baits have a small, minnow shaped body with a hook on the back and a small spinner hanging off the belly.
You can cast them a mile, even in a stiff wind, and bring them back with a horizontal presentation. You can also yo-yo them back. Sometimes that works better. No matter what technique you use, however, you can put them in the strike zone without disturbing the fish. They have no idea you're there.
Now that I've said all this I have to admit that the new electronics I'm talking about aren't cheap. They cost a pretty penny. But they will also make a huge difference in how many fish you catch. I'd have to say they're worth the money. In my opinion you'd be better off saving up your money — buying fewer lures and other stuff — and investing in one of them.
Sometimes we have to remember to get back to basics. The pros will all tell you that you can't catch them if they aren't there. That's common sense, but too many of us forget that it in our rush to find the perfect rod, reel, line or lure. Maybe we should find the fish first. The new Humminbird units will help us do that.
And after we find them we need to try to catch them without scaring or disturbing them. The new units will help us do that, too. Check them out.

Early on in the economic collapse in which we currently find ourselves, there was some optimism that the tech industry would weather the downturn well. And indeed, there have been some areas of opportunity which persist, but according to Sam Diaz's blog on ZDnet, last year the tech industry took a hit. nearly 187,000 jobs were lost in the telecommunications, computer and electronic sectors, and it's likely that 2009 will not be any better. Of course it could be worse, we could be manufacturing RVs that nobody wants to buy any more. At least in many segments of the IT business, what's on offer is non-negotiable, and essential for continuation of business. Nonetheless, we've seen some pretty big layoffs, most recently from Microsoft.
The ZDnet blog referenced above also notes that unemployment in Silicon Valley is at 7.7 percent, a half percentage point higher than the national average. This is a shock. I remember being in Silicon Valley during its heyday, and at that time, all you had to do was roll into town wearing a pocket protector and looking like a geek, and you'd be employed the next day.
Ultimately, I think there is going to be a shift in the IT business; there will be layoffs, but there will be other areas of growth. PC manufacturers may be shrinking, but at the same time we're going to see growth simply as a result of shifting corporate priorities. Corporations are going to be laying off their own internal IT staff, and service firms are going to have to pick up the slack. Companies won't want to make capital investments, so hardware companies will shrink and companies offering virtualization solutions will grow. Now more than ever, it's just a matter of being in the right place.

Gold miner Kinross slides to second-quarter net loss
July 29 (Reuters) - Kinross Gold Corp slid to a loss in the second quarter on the back of a weaker gold price, lower gold sales and the temporary suspension of operations at a mine in Chile.
The Toronto-based gold producer reported a loss of $83.2 million, or 7 cents a share, in the three months to end-June. That compared with net earnings of $46 million, or 4 cents a share, in the same period in 2014. (Reporting by Nicole Mordant in Vancouver; Editing by Chris Reese)

Grilled Peppers and Zucchini for Two RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
"This side dish is so simple and quick that I had to share it," notes Karen Anderson of Fair Oaks, California. "Grilling the veggies in a foil packet means one less dish to wash, but I often stir-fry the mixture on the stove instead."
Recommended: 45 Surprising Foods You Can (and Should!) Grill
- 1/2 medium green pepper, julienned
- 1/2 medium sweet red pepper, julienned
- 1 medium zucchini, julienned
- 1-1/2 teaspoons butter
- 1 teaspoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
- Place the vegetables on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 12 in. square). Dot with butter; drizzle with soy sauce. Fold foil around vegetables and seal tightly.
- Grill, covered, over medium heat for 10-15 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape. Yield: 2 servings.

Got back to work on this today. I needed to figure out why there's no power at the fuel pump. I followed the wires back up through the floor under the back seat and across the car to the main wiring harness on the drivers side. Those wires are all in good condition. The grounding point under the back seat is clean and tight as well.
So, I started checking for power at the fuel pump relay. The relay on my car is in one of the added on pieces that clips to the top of the fuse box, with a plug from the back of that going to the front side of the fuse box, where the Bentley shows the fuel pump relay going (3rd relay spot from the left).
I have 12v at both terminals 15 (switched 12v) and 30 (constant 12v), as well as at both ends of the fuse that's mounted on the relay.
But with the ignition switched on (12v being applied to terminal 15), there is no power at all at terminal 87 on the relay, which goes to the pump. I switched the relay to a brand new one (OEM replacement, same manufacturer as the original), same thing.
So, any ideas on what I'm missing here?

Seriously, I got my fuel pump running reliably for the first time on Megasquirt, before I had anything else on MS. I got sick of the fuse panel bypass flakiness, and had the MS stuff sitting in the car not doing anything, so one yellow wire later, no more erratic fuel pump. The ignition wasn't far behind, and it was a long time after that before the injectors were actually controlled by MS.
Nice find you got there.
Quick update...
Today I worked on the front brakes, upgrading to vented 9.4" rotors with new pads, rotors, calipers and hoses. I didn't mess with any of the electrical stuff, since I thought the voltmeter was up here at my dad's house. When I was cleaning up I saw it laying on the front seat of the 80, so I could have been dealing with that. Oh well, another day.
Nil Satis Nisi Optimum
for real !!!
The bad:
-Automatic transmission
-A mouse chewed at the wiring, and the PO didn't quite finish fixing it
-A/C compressor is locked up
I'll take that trans off your hands 770-380-4437 cell
OK, so quick question for the gurus...
The fuel pump relay is supposed to get a signal from the coil, is it not? And it's supposed to go to terminal 31b on the relay if I'm not mistaken. I have 1.8v at terminal 31b, is that correct or is it supposed to be 12v?
I do have 12v at terminals 30 (constant +) and 15 (switched +).
Nil Satis Nisi Optimum
So today, after testing for signal from the coil to the fuel pump relay (as mentioned above) I assembled my new hydraulic press () and pressed in my rear wheel bearing races. I also removed the old master cylinder.
One small problem though....
One of the nipples snapped off of the reservoir when I removed it from the old cylinder. (Don't you just hate it when one of your nipples breaks off? ) So now I need a new reservoir.
Nil Satis Nisi Optimum
Reservoir has been ordered, so that's something.
On the electrical front, I think I've found the problem. I was looking at the back side of the fuse box to trace the wire for the coil signal. I saw a black/green wire that was cut off right at the back of the fuse box. According to the Bentley, that wire supplies power to the fuel pump, warm air regulator and auxiliary air regulator. So the next step would be to find that wire and reconnect it.
I just love wiring.
Nil Satis Nisi Optimum
not sure how i missed this thread...
nice find dude, very happy for ya for sure. excellent starting point for a fun project.
You were probably off getting married or something. (congrats on that, btw).
Nil Satis Nisi Optimum
Today I installed the new master cylinder and new-to-me reservoir. I also finished off the install of new rear drums, shoes, cylinders, hardware, bearings, and seals.
However, the brakes aren't bleeding properly. Not much is coming out of any of the cylinders. Hopefully this new master cylinder isn't bad, because I'm sick of dealing with master cylinders (I changed one on my dad's 4Runner today as well).
Nil Satis Nisi Optimum
Nice find!!!
Indiana Red!! Love it!
Ya know - that automatic transmission can be removed - if you look I believe you can put a clutch pedal in there..
That's what I would do..
Your paint looks awesome for that old - this is 1 month old and yours is lookin good!!
You don't see many with automatics anymore, so it'll stay until it blows up. Then a 5-speed will go in, along with a bigger/better engine.
The paint is as nice as it is because it has been stored indoors for half of it's life. That goes a long way in preserving it.
Nil Satis Nisi Optimum
to bad its auto
I agree. Keep the auto till it dies. Not too many of them around any more!
My first Mk1 (well...technically my wife's) was an 1980 Platinum Gray automatic. The car rotted before that darn 3 speed gave up. It had a bad rod bearing and clapped like a diesel from day one of ownership. It was the Scirocco that really got me hooked - loved it more than the nice 84 that I also owned at the time.
That's not very encouraging Pete.
Even if the trans doesn't go bad, if it has to come out of the car it's not going back in.
Nil Satis Nisi Optimum
UPDATE!!! (Since it's only been 10 months......)
The other day I drained the gas tank on this thing, and was pleased to see that the "fuel" (more like varnish at this point) was free of rust or crud, meaning that (hopefully) the tank isn't full of corrosion.
The next issue to tackle was the fuel pump issue. I decided to remove one of the wire terminals from a fusebox connector I saved out of the black car. I couldn't get it to come out of the plug without destroying the plug completely, making it a non-option for the plug in the 80. So, I bought this kit to remove wiring terminals, so I could remove the little piece of wire that was cut super short and replace it without damaging anything.
I popped the old wire out, and here it is. As you can see, not much left to work with there.
Upon comparing the replacement end to the short one pictured, I noticed that the replacement wire was a bit smaller, so I tried to find a terminal in the donor plug of the correct size and a slightly larger wire. As I was trying to remove one, the new tool (which cost $80, I might add) snapped off and stabbed me in the thumb.
Then a gust of wind blew my sandwich off the car and into a puddle of water on the ground.
Then after tracing the wires some more (having not done so since last September), I discovered that the wiring diagram in my 1980-81 Bentley is incorrect. The power wire to the pump is red/yellow, but according to the Bentley is supposed to merge with blue/white and red/white wires on one side of a connector, and attach to a black/green wire (such as the wire that had been cut too short). I found another black/green wire in another connector on the fuse panel as well. No idea what that one is for.
On my car, however, there is another red/yellow wire on the other side of the aforementioned connector, which goes to the added on relay block that mounts to the top of the fuse panel. It doesn't change to a black/green wire like the Bentley's wiring diagram says it does, so the $80 tool kit and the wounded thumb and all the contemplation of how to approach this repair meant ****-all.
So, I put a good battery in the car, and busted out the ole multimeter. The relay has 5 terminals, numbered 15, 30, 30b, 31, and 87. 15 is switched power, 30 is constant power, 30b is a signal from the coil, 31 is ground, and 87 is the power output to the pump. I have power at 15 and 30, but nothing from 30b. So I checked for power at the coil, and I do have voltage there where the red/black wire connects. I checked the resistance of that wire between the coil and the relay, and it's open. So I'll have to repair that wire. In the meantime, I jumpered the 15 to the 30b, so I would have power at the 3 terminals that are supposed to have power, and tried again. I have 12v at terminals 15, 30, and 30b, 12v at both sides of the fuse that is on top of the relay, but nothing at all at terminal 87. I tried a brand new relay that I'd bought last year, same thing. I pulled the relay out of the 78, same thing. I found another relay on the floor of the 78, same thing again.
So, apparently, I have 4 bad fuel pump relays, yes?
Nil Satis Nisi Optimum
Fuel pump and accumulator have been replaced (with the units from my old black 16v), wiring has been repaired.
The water pump was seized up, so today (after getting a late start) I set out to change that. All I have to say is, holy **** the York a/c compressor makes everything a total pain in the ass. I finally got it out of the way, along with the massive bracketry.
As it turns out, the old water pump was one with the larger hub diameter, so I had to go to the store to exchange it. A couple of bolts were broken off in the housing, so I packed it up for the day. Maybe after work tomorrow I'll reassemble with my spare housing.
Nil Satis Nisi Optimum
OK, update time!!
I got the new water pump on. only to find out that, just like the old one, the pulley wouldn't line up. So, some spacers and longer bolts brought that into line.
Since I had already discarded the old York a/c compressor (it was seized up and had a hole punched in the housing), the upper bracket that the alternator adjustment bolt bolts through was able to move around. So we used an L-shaped bracket out of the spare hardware bucket and a piece of conduit as a spacer, to brace it from up/down movement. The rubber bushing the adjustment bolt goes through is no good, however, so the alternator still moves up and down. I've got some pieces to potentially fix that, but haven't installed them yet.
I replaced all of the vacuum hoses, and assembled the intake hose.
It cranks, but won't start. We checked for spark, and we have nothing. Now I have no clue what the problem is. We've replaced the plugs, wires, cap, rotor, points, condenser, and coil. We checked for voltage at the coil, and we're getting 10.58v. I suspect this isn't sufficient, but I don't know where to start. I'm getting pretty frustrated.
Nil Satis Nisi Optimum
Are there 2 wires to the starter solenoid?
If so, then the second wire boosts the voltage at the coil to gain more oomph on crank.\
It relaxes when the solenoid releases and lower current flows through the points.
Check there ....

The next paper in this Social Media and Society session is by my QUT colleague Brenda Moon and me. Our work-in-progress presentation explores how we can connect our long-term data on the structures of follower networks in the Australian Twittersphere with shorter-term comprehensive information on actual posting activity; we are interested how follower networks and @mention networks cross-influence each other. What emerges already from our preliminary work is that different communities of Australian Twitter users appear to exhibit some very different activity patterns, and that some appear more likely to break out of their follower/followee network clusters than others. One of the newer Twitter communities in Australia, teen users, seem to tweet particularly differently from the others.
Slides are below:
One Day in the Life of a National Twittersphere from Axel Bruns
The next speaker at Social Media and Society is Shih-Yun Chen, who focusses on online communities. Such communities are used to connect, share information, and give mutual support; and it important to understand the participant roles that emerge in such communities, what content they contribute, and how this affects the sustainability of a community. This study focusses on these patterns in the context of knowledge sharing and social events.
The next session at Social Media and Society starts with Sílvia Majó-Vázquez, whose interest is in the role and positioning of legacy news media in social media spaces, for the particular context of Spain's media ecology. Some legacy news media have recognised their own difficulties in engaging with the online space; some are significantly decreasing their offline activities and therefore need to improve their online services by comparison.
The final speaker in this Social Media and Society session is William Housley, whose interest is in the role of social media as disruptive technologies: they affect how we organise ourselves in our social relations, and how these social relations are captured through big data on social media activities. This has a strong temporal dimension, recognising the dynamics of change over time.
The next speaker in this Social Media and Society session is Karen Gregory. Her past research has been with esoteric practitioners in New York City, in the wake of the global financial crisis: these were women who learnt tarot card reading as a new profession in an unstable job market. Tarot itself can be understood as a social medium: it was played by nobles in the 15th century as a game that enabled social interaction; it is used today as a self-help technique that serves as a social commentary and 'has a bit of Facebook built into it', Karen suggests.
Helen Webb starts off the next session of Social Media and Society, and begins by suggesting that social media have a transformative capacity for social research as well. To begin with, social media research challenges established conceptual and methodological approaches: they enable us to explore and revise existing theories of social interaction and self-presentation, for instance; or to review patterns and sequences of interaction in order to develop new views on conversational processes.
It's the final day at Social Media and Society, and today's keynote is by Helen Kennedy. She's beginning with the question of how data make us feel: and it is a question that reflects the power of data, of metrics, in an environment where such data have become ordinary and everyday. As data mining becomes more commonplace, new data relations emerge, and these are increasingly characterised by emotion as much as by rationality. This represents a desire for numbers, and points to some of the contradictions that include a hunger for as well as a criticism of numbers. How we get through the visualisation of numbers also plays an important role.
Social media data form part of a larger ecosystem of connective data in this context. Social media data mining has also become ordinary – and should such ordinary forms of social media data mining concern us in the same way that more exceptional data (such as the Snowden leaks) should concern us? Helen has examined this in close engagement with social media data generators and users, and this has also uncovered the visceral reactions that people have when they encounter a data visualisation. Such responses to 'seeing data' also deserve further research: how do we live with data from the bottom up?
Next up at Social Media and Society is Jacob Groshek, whose interest is in new modes of journalism on social media. Journalism has traditionally been operating through gatekeeping, deciding what news is being published to their audiences and what news do not. This is still a key mechanism in digital networks, but increasingly redesigned to adjust to the multitude of senders and receivers that are now present in online spaces. All of us are now potential gatekeepers, making our own decisions about what to publish and what to ignore.
OK, so I'm afraid I missed the first paper by Ching-ya Lin in this Social Media and Society session on journalism and propaganda because I was talking to one of the poster presenters. The second speaker is Ebru Kayaalp, who takes an actor-network theory approach to the study of the propaganda wars between the U.S. and ISIS.
The final speaker in this Social Media and Society session is Moses Boudourides, who presents a study of the affective publics on Twitter surrounding the European refugee crisis and the Paris terrorist attacks. The project tracked some twenty keywords and hashtags relating to the refugee crisis, capturing a substantial volume of tweets that were further processed using Python.

New York City is frenetic. People walk fast, talk fast and they're always late. But somehow it all blends -- sometimes harmoniously and sometimes with great discord. New York City is many things, but it is never boring.
(Note: All telephone numbers are within the 212 area code unless otherwise indicated.)
Three airports serve New York: JFK (718 244-4444) handles the most international flights; LaGuardia (718 533-3400) handles the most commuter flights; and Newark (973 961-6000) is most convenient to the West Side. JFK-to-midtown taxi fares are fixed ($30); return fares are not. A better bet is on-demand, shared minibus service from Gray Line Air Shuttle (757-7712) or SuperShuttle Manhattan (800 258-3826) for less than half the price of a cab.
New York City has 66,000 hotel rooms. You can pay $150 or thousands per night. Stay in midtown for Javits Center events. Sofitel (354-8844, 800 763-4835, $219-$599) is a new facility with 398 well-appointed rooms and 52 executive suites equipped with two-line, data port phones. Novotel's (315-0100, 800 668-6835, $219-$399) 480 soundproof rooms have data ports, large desks and minibars. The hotel's business center offers PCs and faxes, plus laptop and cell phone rentals. The Double Tree Guest Suites (719-1600, 800 325-9033, $210-$750) all have kitchenettes. The Soho Grand Hotel (965-3000, 800 965-3000, $334 and up) isn't midtown, but comes highly recommended by sophisticated New Yorkers who know.
There are more than 18,000 places to grab a bite in the city. Gotham Bar & Grill (620-4020) is known for its innovative cuisine and architecture. The atmosphere is hip but elegant, meaning jeans or a business suit will work. The Mee Noodle Shop (888-0027 for the midtown location) serves good Chinese food cheap and fast at several spots. Gallagher's Steakhouse (245-5336) is a classic spot for a huge steak. Cajun restaurant (691-6174) serves creative Creole-Cajun cuisine to the tunes of a Dixieland band. The Little India neighborhood at East 6th Street between First and Second avenues has nearly two dozen Indian restaurants, all of which are good.
Insider's Guide
For quintessential New York experiences, go skating at Wollman Rink in Central Park; it's at once so New York and so countrified. Play at Chelsea Piers (336-6000), a recreational paradise with a full "" fitness center, skating (ice and in-line), basketball courts, indoor climbing, restaurants and even golf. Shop at the flea market on 26th Street and 7th Avenue or Orchard Street on the Lower East Side. At the end of the day, celebrate sunset with drinks atop the World Trade Center. Pick up New York, The Village Voice and Time Out New York for the latest happenings and The New Yorker for cultural events. Check Site59.com's Local Flavor section for last-minute tickets to all sorts of events.weather Bring your overcoat. New York is chilly and possibly snowy in November and December.

CIO's CORNER:

"For a drink, the Stanhope [288-5800] or the Plaza [759-3000] hotels are nice, or the King Cole Bar [753-4500, ext. 3756]." For later in the evening, he recommends Veruka [625-1717], "which is pricey but great, and all the bars on Bleeker Street are fun." Tisi insists The Metropolitan Museum of Art is the No. 1 must-see in the city. "The Temple of Dendur, the Annenberg Wing and the rooftop, without a doubt," he says.

HP journeys up the Amazon
Amazon beefs up HP reseller status
Hewlett-Packard today unveiled a deal with Amazon.com that will use the vendor's servers and technology for Amazon's Web infrastructure. As part of the agreement, HP will beef up its range of products sold through Amazon's consumer electronics store. The Seattle-based etailer will also start sourcing products directly from HP. Amazon said it had enlisted the help of HP as it was expecting demands on its systems to be three times greater this Christmas than in previous seasons. HP already sells its printers, scanners, digital cameras, PDAs and calculators through Amazon's site. The two companies said they had agreed to share the sales and advertising for the scheme. ® Related stories: HP issues profit warning

While disassembling a '99 Passat to replace the head due to a failed TB tensioner, I found that the turbine/wastegate port intersection has a crack in it. The crack is completely internal to the turbo exhaust housing. I am wondering if I should replace the turbo or not, as this could be something that happens within a short amount of use anyway and causes no other problems.
BTW, the turbo has 77k miles on it, and it is from an early B5 (AEB engine code). Also, the wastegate rod (that passes throught the turbo, not the actuator rod) has some play within it's bore. Is this normal, or should I replace this thing?

800 University WaySpartanburg, SC 293031-864-503-5000
The institution engages in ongoing, integrated, and institution-wide research-based planning and evaluation processes that (1) incorporate a systematic review of institutional mission, goals, and outcomes; (2) result in continuing improvement in institutional quality; and (3) demonstrate the institution is effectively accomplishing its mission. (Institutional Effectiveness)
Judgement: Compliant
The University of South Carolina Upstate (USC Upstate) engages in ongoing institution-wide planning and evaluation of its activities and the outcomes of those activities in support of the institution's mission and continuous improvement endeavors. The University accomplishes its strategic planning through the activities of the Strategic Issues Advisory Committee with additional evaluative activities including academic program assessment, administrative area assessment, and general education assessment.
The strategic plan is the primary vehicle for annual planning and its implementation. The current USC Upstate strategic planning process was initiated in 2003 and is used to align the institution's organization and budget structure with the mission, vision and goals. The Strategic Plan is reviewed each year and revised as necessary to respond to the changing environment. All areas of the University participate in the strategic planning process. Our collaborative organizational model includes faculty and staff in the overall planning for the institution.
The Annual Strategic Report is organized by the University's six major goals and their corresponding objectives to provide an overarching framework. Each spring, Chancellor's Cabinet members work with their respective units to develop tactics that support these objectives and address the priorities for the upcoming academic/fiscal year. In spring of each year, the units submit updates on their tactics to summarize their accomplishments and progress from the current academic/fiscal year. At the same time, they develop tactics with operational and budget priorities for the upcoming academic/fiscal year. The final year-end report demonstrates each unit's progress towards accomplishing their goals.
A crucial component of the strategic planning process is the gathering and review of data to help make informed decisions. The Strategic Issues Advisory Committee, appointed by the Senior Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, has responsibility for evaluating data used to measure institutional progress on goal achievement and in recommendations for planning. The annual Strategic Issues Advisory Committee Report is distributed to the Chancellor's Cabinet and placed on the Strategic Planning website for the campus to review, discuss and use in planning and decision making. In 2008, a system-wide strategic plan, Focus Carolina, was announced. Individual campuses within the USC system were requested to align their strategic efforts. USC Upstate demonstrates alignment of goals each year in a presentation to the President of the USC System.
Academic Program and Administrative Area AssessmentsThe performance of all organizational units, academic programs, and personnel is reviewed annually to determine effectiveness and to identify how to support continued progress in achieving the University's mission. Each academic and administrative unit participates in annual assessments intended to support continuous improvement. The general education assessment process supports continuous improvement in the general education program.
The academic program and administrative area assessment processes have similar purposes and outputs, the primary difference being whether the assessment focuses on a degree-granting unit of the institution or administrative, non-degree granting units. Degree-granting areas measure "Goals and Student Learning Outcomes" (SLOs), whereas administrative units measure "Intended Outcomes".
Each year, academic and administrative areas collect assessment data relating to their previously determined outcomes, analyze these data, look for trends over time or anomalies, and use the results to determine the extent to which they are meeting their goals. The units also use the results to develop initiatives geared toward improving performance and these improvement measures are implemented and assessed the following year.
General Education AssessmentIn addition to the academic program and administrative area assessment processes, the University engages in ongoing assessment of the general education curriculum. The General Education Committee developed a curriculum consisting of five competencies, each with one or more associated SLOs that together provide the foundational knowledge and experience necessary for success in our undergraduate program. General Education competencies and SLOs are applicable across the institution, regardless of degree. This allows for assessment of the outcomes at the university level, rather than the course or program level. The faculty review assessment results each year. Each unit develops and implements continuous improvement measures for their general education courses.
General Education Policies and ProceduresCompetency 1: CommunicationCompetency 2: Quantitative Reasoning and Scientific InquiryCompetency 3: Critical ThinkingCompetency 4: Globalization and DiversityCompetency 5: Information Technology Literacy

Good morning everyone. After a long weekend of sitting in the garage, went to leave for work and the seat and wheel didn't adjust to my personal setting. They will not even move manually. When I go into my personal settings I get a "Vehicle personalization system error" on the screen. Now what? I have the battery removed now hoping a full reboot will cure the problem. I will report back. Otherwise to the dealer seems like my only option!!! :(
Anyone ever experience this?
Battery removal did nothing. Looks like a computer issue... calling dealer now...

text: I have said it before and I will say it again. I think it is a really bad idea for producers of talent shows to blow a ton of money on the judges. That is not what made American Idol or its ilk successful in the first place. All this judge hiring is simply an elongated version of stunt casting which you see every sweeps period in television. A guest star to really make you watch. Watching one episode of the slutty pumpkin is not the same though as an entire season of Mariah Carey and Carrie Underwood each getting paid $17M simply because you don't think your show is good enough to stand on its own. For that kind of money, Mariah and Carrie should perform two songs each week and the contestants should sing in the background and at the end of each episode, someone is randomly picked to go home in an elaborate game of musical chairs. The music played will be samples of Mariah & Carrie's greatest hits and Mariah and Carrie will be used to judge how nimble or quick the contestants are at getting to a chair when the music stops. Ryan will still be the announcer, but Randy will be converted to a DJ and will be known from now on as DJRJ.
