Social media has a reputation--well deserved, we should note--for being a bit of a waste of time. Case in point: A 2012 survey from Salary.com found that 64 percent of employees visited non-work related websites every day during working hours, and 61 percent of employees said they spent over an hour a week on personal web usage. The number one time waster? Facebook, visited by 41 percent of those users. (LinkedIn was second, at 37 percent, which probably explains a lot about why so many are killing time on Facebook.)
Who then can blame managers who chastise workers for whiling away the day on tweets, likes, and status updates? Or find fault with IT policies that block employees from visiting social media websites on company time? It may not be progressive, but management does have a point.
But what if you could prove to the powers that be that social media has real value to your job? Need talking points to take to your boss to show that Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and other social media sites are actually essential to the work you do? Try these arguments (don't call them excuses) for how your job--and the company--can benefit from social media.A
Ask for help
Ever needed to find an obscure fact, get the answer to a tricky problem, or research a topic that's new to you? Of course you have, that's why Google exists. But while the world's biggest search engine is great for telling you who starred in Steel Magnolias, it often has trouble with complex queries, and it's useless when it comes to matters of opinion or preference.
You can waste hours searching the web to find data about, say, sales of mountain bikes over the last 20 years. Or you can simply take your question to social media. If your network is large enough, you're likely to get a response from someone who knows the answer, or at least a lead to someone who does, within minutes.
But social media is even more powerful when it comes to ad hoc opinions. What color bicycles should your company produce? How many gears do people want? What frame styles are best? Questions that would normally cost thousands of dollars and take weeks of consumer polling can be answered in just a few hours--or at least point you in the right direction.
Scout for talent
The general assumption is that anyone spending time on LinkedIn during business hours is updating their resume and looking for another job. But if your job description includes managing other workers (even contractors or freelancers), the site can be a huge help when it comes to staffing by making your search for employees easier. LinkedIn's robust search tools (click the "Advanced" button next to the search box) let you find qualified candidates based on location, industry, schooling, experience, and more. Note that you'll need to upgrade to a Business plan (prices start at $288 per year) to access some of the more advanced search features.
Collaborate with coworkers
One of the most visible public uses for social media is becoming increasingly popular in a private, business setting: communicating as a group. Put it this way: If all the employees in the office are going to be on Facebook all day, why not leverage Facebook's messaging and storage system so the group can use it to communicate with one another?
Simply create a private group (one which only invited members can join) and invite your colleagues to join. You'll have access to an instant messaging system, private email, a message board, and a basic photo archiving system, all on a platform everyone is probably already using, so there's no new login information to remember. The photo sharing features alone can be an incredibly powerful and simple way to organize and share common media assets like company logos and executive head shots. Just drop the latest files on your Facebook group's page and delete any out-of-date pictures, saving you and your fellow employees a slog through the server. Bonus: it's all free.
LinkedIn allows the creation of private, members-only groups as well, but these tend to be more difficult to interact with and don't have as many features.
Promote products and events
Social media isn't just a dumping ground for baby pictures, cat videos, and photos of various foods. It's also increasingly an avenue for businesses to communicate with customers and market their wares--and for you to get to interact with those customers on a personal level. Most notably, Twitter and Facebook are huge avenues for coupons and other promotions. Some companies even create special Twitter accounts just to promote "deal of the day" offers in the hopes of further building up engagement and increasing their social media footprint. It sure beats standing on the corner and spinning a sign.
Monitor customer chatter
The flipside of offering coupons and other deals on social media is the ability to take a deep dive into what customers are saying about your business. Formerly, your job might have entailed organizing and managing focus groups to dig out insights from customers about your company's products. Now you can go straight to the source, saving time, effort, and money.A
On Twitter it is especially easy to search for and monitor keywords such as the name of your company, the industry you're in, competitors and their products, or just about anything else. Use @ tags to communicate directly with individuals, or hashtags to join part of the broader conversation. Regardless of your approach, social media tools can be invaluable in taking a real-time pulse of your company and its industry, which you just can't get anywhere else.
Communicate with customers
Only a few years ago, the only ways you could communicate with your customers was through an email newsletter, a post on a seldom-visited website, or--egad!--a letter in the mail. Whichever you chose was likely to be costly, time-consuming, and probably ineffective.
Social media streamlines that process, giving you better information while making you much more productive along the way. When your product is available in a new version or with new features, or if you simply need to let customers know that your store's hours are changing, posting updates to sites like Facebook and Twitter is virtually instantaneous and much more likely to be read than an easily-deleted email newsletter. If your company is experiencing a crisis--like website downtime or another minor catastrophe--Twitter has become the go-to medium for communicating updates to customers and clients.
Get feedback on work in progress
In many industries, customers have shown a keen interest in seeing the "behind the scenes" operations of even the most mundane companies. Social media gives you a simple way to show off work in progress rather than assembling small groups in person or looking for feedback at a trade show or another public setting.
Photo- and video-centric services like Instagram, Pinterest, and YouTube are tailor-made for efforts like these, and their two-way nature means you can not only show off your wares as they're being built, you can also solicit feedback to help guide your product's direction while it's still in development. Beats hiring an expensive consultant to tell you what you're doing wrong.

Week seven was a short and fun week, but with plenty to do. Monday was President's Day, so Administration was closed, meaning I enjoyed a lovely day off. Tuesday was a change of pace for this new office gal as I got to spend much of the day shadowing Adam Fink, Children's Zoo Herp and Invert Keeper, and new keeper Carrie. I met the oldest resident at the Zoo, OJ, an Aldabra tortoise, watched him and his cohorts roam their night house since it was a wet and rainy day out, and learned about the tortoises' morning routine, including giving medication, feeding, and cleaning from Adam and Carrie.
Next, I helped clean and count milky tree frogs as many of them are being sent off to other zoos. I was even lucky enough to be able to collect frog fecal samples to send over to our vets to make sure all are in good health before they head out to their new homes.
After my lunch break, Adam, Carrie, and myself, spent some time in the bug house, tidying up the exhibits and providing fresh food for all sorts of creatures. Next, I helped change out tadpole water as well as sort the tadpoles, based on what stage of development they were in. I remember learning about tadpoles and how they become frogs in elementary school, but this was the first time I was actually able to see the process in person and it was pretty cool. By the time we were wrapping up, a call came over the radio about Annie, one of our goat residents. She was going into labor. So, I headed on over to the goat barn.
To my surprise, I got there just in time and was able to watch Annie give birth to four, super adorable, kids. However, Annie needed some help with the first one. Now known as Jeffrey, was breached, meaning he was tail first during birth. This is not what you want to happen, so Keeper Liz had to step in. She put on some gloves and began to assist in pulling out baby Jeffrey. Once out, Annie immediately tended to her kid and before we knew it, three more kids were born. It was totally unexpected that there would be so many, but the Zoo family is ready for them and they have been all over the media already. This was a really cool experience and I am glad I was able to be a part of it. Who else can say they met the oldest Zoo resident and the newest/youngest all in the same day?
You may think that Tuesday is unbeatable, but Wednesday was great as well. We had an onsite Eye on the Bay shoot with CBS 5's Liam Mayclem and this time it was at the new Veterinary Hospital, which I had yet to see. Once the crew arrived, I tagged along and received a behind-the-scenes guided tour of the Vet Hospital, and I was really impressed.
This new hospital is 17,000 square feet, is LEED certified, and implements modern day technology, design, and functionality. The facility is beautiful and is located on a hill, overlooking the Zoo; it even has views of the San Francisco skyline. If you ever have a chance to visit, please watch out for a giant silver rectangle on the floor because that is the large mammal scale and if you step on it, it will expose your weight to all who are with you. I don't know about you, but I'm not sure I want to be classified as a large mammal.
Yet again, Thursday offered something new and different. We had Skywalker Sounds onsite recording animal sounds for an upcoming project. Thanks to them, I was able to watch and be a part of the elephants' morning routine, which included a pedicure on all four feet, treats, and enrichment. I met Jeff and Gina, the main elephant keepers, and they allowed me to feed Osh, our male African elephant. I can now check that off the bucket list. I also visited the camels and learned a lot about them.
The rest of the day included an Earth Day meeting and other office related to-dos, followed by a trip to the airport as I was headed home to Arizona, for the Tough Mudder race.

The story Richard Clarke spins has all the suspense of a postmodern geopolitical thriller. The tale involves a ghostly cyberworm created to attack the nuclear centrifuges of a rogue nation—which then escapes from the target country, replicating itself in thousands of computers throughout the world. It may be lurking in yours right now. Harmlessly inactive...or awaiting further orders.
From This Story
Related Content
A great story, right? In fact, the world-changing "weaponized malware" computer worm called Stuxnet is very real. It seems to have been launched in mid-2009, done terrific damage to Iran's nuclear program in 2010 and then spread to computers all over the world. Stuxnet may have averted a nuclear conflagration by diminishing Israel's perception of a need for an imminent attack on Iran. And yet it might end up starting one someday soon, if its replications are manipulated maliciously. And at the heart of the story is a mystery: Who made and launched Stuxnet in the first place?
Richard Clarke tells me he knows the answer.
Clarke, who served three presidents as counterterrorism czar, now operates a cybersecurity consultancy called Good Harbor, located in one of those anonymous office towers in Arlington, Virginia, that triangulate the Pentagon and the Capitol in more ways than one. I had come to talk to him about what's been done since the urgent alarm he'd sounded in his recent book, Cyber War. The book's central argument is that, while the United States has developed the capability to conduct an offensive cyberwar, we have virtually no defense against the cyberattacks that he says are targeting us now, and will be in the future.
Richard Clarke's warnings may sound overly dramatic until you remember that he was the man, in September of 2001, who tried to get the White House to act on his warnings that Al Qaeda was preparing a spectacular attack on American soil.
Clarke later delivered a famous apology to the American people in his testimony to the 9/11 Commission: "Your government failed you."
Clarke now wants to warn us, urgently, that we are being failed again, being left defenseless against a cyberattack that could bring down our nation's entire electronic infrastructure, including the power grid, banking and telecommunications, and even our military command system.
"Are we as a nation living in denial about the danger we're in?" I asked Clarke as we sat across a conference table in his office suite.
"I think we're living in the world of non-response. Where you know that there's a problem, but you don't do anything about it. If that's denial, then that's denial."
As Clarke stood next to a window inserting coffee capsules into a Nespresso machine, I was reminded of the opening of one of the great espionage films of all time, Funeral in Berlin, in which Michael Caine silently, precisely, grinds and brews his morning coffee. High-tech java seems to go with the job.

Topic: Elderly Mother diagnosed today after biopsy - no treatment offered
My Mum (78) has just been diagnosed with CC, but she doesn't yet know. She's jaundiced and on steroids to improve her appetite - admitted almost 2 weeks ago. Because she's euphoric on steroids, they're taking her off them to bring her down to earth long enough to tell her she's going to die!!! The consultant has told my brother that the cancer is inoperable and they're not suggesting anything else. Depending on what she wants, is it reasonable to let her slip away with palliative care? I've read a bit this evening on this apparently rare condition and know that many people are treated. She's survived a lot, but doesn't have the strongest zest for life and she "doesn't like to be a burden". If you were me, what would you do? There has been no mention of a stent as yet, perhaps because her colour doesn't appear to bother her and she hasn't complained about itching - I will ask about it. Some people talk about the grade of cancer, but again this has not been mentioned. We're in the West of Scotland and I have no idea how treatment for this condition rates against other areas of the UK. I would hate to think that a) postcode lottery or, b) lack of knowledge of and experience of treating this disease might be the reason for the lack of treatment options. We all have to go sometime, but I do need to know that, if it's my Mum's time, it's not because she's not prioritized - how can we be sure?
Hope someone can help.

Get the Recipe
The 1st American edition of Larousse Gastronomique, published in 1961, describes clafoutis as a custard-like breakfast or dessert from the Limousine region in France. Specifically, it's "a kind of a fruit pastry or thick fruit pancake, made usually with black cherries."
Traditionally, a classic clafoutis is baked with un-pitted whole cherries. (The pits are said to add a flavor similar to almonds.) Cherry season has come and gone, but clafoutis is often baked with other stone fruit, berries, or seasonal fruit and referred to as Flangnarde or Flongnarde. (The term clafoutis is reserved exclusively to the dish made with cherries.)
When baking clafoutis, I often use Julia Child's two step baking method along with the recipe from her classic Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Child instructs you to pour part of the batter into the pan, bake for approximately ten minutes, then add the fruit and pour in the remainder of the batter before baking for an additional 45 minutes. While I understand the logic behind the two step baking technique, it's not really necessary.
Take this Chocolate Cardamon Plums Clafoutis recipe, which can be whisked together quickly as a no fuss dessert. I paired cardamon and chocolate with plums, but chocolate and cardamon will pair beautifully with cherries when they are back in season. Be warned: the batter will sink somewhat when coming out of the oven, but that's not a problem. Simply dust the cake with confectioners sugar and serve warm. Also try to use ripe but firm fruit. Overripe fruit will release more juices and will take longer to bake. In addition avoid overripe fruit for texture consistency's sake.

Hi you seem to be the inside scoop on all things Cal, what is the latest on the renovation of the softball field?
Hi you seem to be the inside scoop on all things Cal, what is the latest on the renovation of the softball field?
The softball season is over before conference play begins. Jolene Henderson (hip injury) joins Val Arioto on the "out-for-the-season" list. Jamia Reid also is still out & unable to play. I don't know that I have the stomach to watch 15-25 runs scored in the Pac 8 against the frosh duo that got humiliated vs UOP. Thank God that the five inning mercy rules exists.
I cannot recall any other Pac 10 softball team that didn't put quality pitching on the mound. This is by far the weakest pitching that any conference team has featured. Since Cal is *all pitch* & very little hit-it's going to be pitiful.
Yesterday-the women's bball had their top scorer in 2009 & 2010, Danesha Stallworth, a 6'3" McDonald's AA, from Pinole Valley HS, request her release to transfer! She received it. Is Cal sports cursed or what is the deal? The men's bball team lost their #2 recruit, Gary Franklin, from Mater Dei HS-Santa Ana to open the conference season with his request to transfer...Fortunately, his huge ego was not missed and the team came together & played better than when he was there. Addition by subtraction. GO BEARS!
I just wanted to share with you some stats that I dredged up last weekend regarding Val Arioto & UCLA. I'm too chicken to put something this negative on a gal nominated as one of the top ten college softball players in the country.
Arioto is a very good player but does not consistently dominate in the circle nor does she hit with power enough in the clutch to be "great". Today, she struckout w/ the bases loaded and walked three times. I'm happy that she swung at least. I have noticed that she is really a patient hitter and typically swings once in an AB.
UCLA has pitched around her all three years of her Cal career. Val has a .125 BA% vs the Bruins while also carrying a .400 OB%. Arioto has one single each season over the three games that the rivals play. Arioto has never had an extra-base hit vs UCLA. She's 3 for 24plus 11 walks. She has two RBIs after three seasons. She also has yielded big homeruns late in several losses this season. The opposition seems to be able to time her finesse stuff about the third time through the batting order...
If Jolene Henderson has enough stuff, she obviously has more heart & "killer instinct" than VA as a pitcher. I hope that Arioto makes a conscious effort to be more aggressive as a hitter. Maybe she can have a senior season like Megan Langenfeld hitting in excess of .510 w/ an OB% over .600. GO BEARS!
CalFanatic: Did you receive my message of the Scout site? Have you come across any news regarding the softball team during the fall? No big deal...Have a happy holiday season! GO BEARS! Schroeder71

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- I understand not wanting to step out of your comfort zone. Truth be told -- it's an issue I have struggled with for years. To this day, I deal with anxiety over things that could possibly happen; as such, it's tempting to want to preserve the status quo in my physical and psychological environments.But, man, that's a bad way to float through life, especially from an intellectual standpoint. Things change. And even if they don't, there's often a legitimate exception to what you think is the rule. At times, that thing you can't seem to wrap your head around is indeed the product of an irrational world. That doesn't mean you're right ... right now. It just means that, at times, you'll end up vindicated. I expect that to happen with me vis-a-via Apple ( AAPL). It happened with me on Netflix ( NFLX) in 2011. I expect the same to happen again in 2013 or 2014. I'm proud of myself for how I'm handling Netflix this time around. I'm executing the intellectual exercise stubborn folk such as myself loathe -- I'm budging. In 2011, when I was certain Netflix would crash, I jumped in the front of the train that was NFLX stock. I refuse to make the same mistake twice. I know Netflix should crash again, but I have been bullish on the piece of paper that is NFLX stock from around $60. Sometimes you have to budge; at other times, you just have to come completely out of your comfort zone and come to terms with a reality you not only cannot comprehend, but think is patently absurd. That's what bewildered bears absolutely must do with Amazon.com ( AMZN). Quite frankly, the persistent bearish sentiment in the face AMZN moving higher -- almost in a straight line -- has become comical.

Agricultural investment, the world's economic situation and the prospects for U.S. agricultural income were aspects of several presentations during the AgroNomics Vision 2014 conference and 84th annual meeting of the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers.
Dealing with Asia and China specifically was mentioned often. Both David Kohl, professor emeritus Virginia Tech University, and Daniel Sumner, University of California, Davis, talked extensively about China and how the country has to deal with 800 million people who are trending toward urban living and away from rural areas. Today there is an approximate 50/50 split of urban and rural population. Sumner projects 65 percent will be urbanites by 2030.
Feeding the Chinese people as the population continues to increase to the year 2050 means trying to keep the population employed, and non-modernized farming keeps more people employed. But these rural people see their urban kin having a better standard of living and a less harsh life in general; therefore, the temptation is to move to cities even though the government tries to limit such movement.
Sumner quoted Dermot Hayes of Iowa State University in saying, "If China did not import soybeans, we would be growing continuous corn" in the U.S., and "if China frees its people to move to the city, it will need as much as 140 million tons of corn (more than five billion bushels)."
The outlook according to Kohl, Sumner and K.C. Conway, chief economist USA with Colliers International, is an approach of China and some other countries importing more meat rather than the grain to raise their own livestock. It is cheaper to ship the meat rather than the bulk grain, and as for China, the country is so polluted that processing in the U.S. is more sanitary and healthy.
Sumner said China's hog industry "is already an environmental disaster," and shipping pork rather than grain makes a whole lot of sense. It still requires nearly as much grain to raise the hogs required by the Chinese.
And as Kohl put it, "Fifty percent of the water in northern China cannot be used for industrial purposes because it is that rotten."
Conway didn't stop at pointing the finger at China. "We're looking at doing food processing [in the U.S.] that they can't do in Mexico or Asia because the water quality is so horrific."
Conway explained a trend toward improved eastern and southeastern sea ports in the U.S., including major developments with inland ports being built a hundred miles up from historic cities such as Charleston, S.C., or Savannah, Ga. He noted that processing plants are and will spring up near new ports so that processed goods and meats can be container shipped. This is more efficient than shipping grain in bulk transports, he said.
Being located near rail and ports should be reflected in higher land prices throughout the nation, Conway said. "One of the things we are not getting credit for in agricultural land is location advantages in the supply chain and distribution—access to roads, access to rail and access to ports," he said.
Conway proclaimed that the U.S. has a terrible national infrastructure because money that should be used for infrastructure upgrades is being stolen by the executive and legislative branches of the federal government for purposes contrary to transportation tax and trust money's original purposes.
But rail shipping will improve with direct routes pretty much in place from the Midwest to eastern container ports.
"Match-back" of containers loaded with imported goods and East Coast manufactured items can be back filled in the Midwest with grain headed for export or processing facilities. Containers double stacked on rail cars is the way of the future, outside of the outdated infrastructure around cities of the North and Northeast, according to Conway.
Even if bulk shipments can be sent to California, Conway contends the 8,000 mile shortcut through the ungraded Panama Canal by 2016 will make the southeastern ports competitive in shipping to all parts of the world including Asia. Part of it has to do with West Coast big city ports having extremely burdensome, expensive union contracts and slow operations compared to the non-union southern ports. In the near future, Conway said he sees 70 percent of the traffic that goes out of Portland, Ore., disappearing because of labor union contract problems.
The Panama Canal currently can accommodate a ship carrying up to 5,000 containers, but starting in 2016, a ship carrying up to 12,500 containers will be able to go through the canal.
As Conway further noted, ports in the South and upgraded ports of the Great Lakes make it easier to service nations of South America, Europe and even Russia. Doing business with all the developing and emerging nations of the world is of major importance for the U.S. ag economy.
Gross domestic product of nations is a major indicator of economic health and what to expect, according to all three speakers who provided comments to the crowd at different times during the AgroNomics Vision conference.
Conway noted, without agriculture this country's GDP would be worse than it is. "Look what's happening on the GDP front. We are like one of the weakest in growth; we're like 23rd in the world," he said.
Kohl mentioned Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, South Korea, Indonesia, Mexico and Turkey as emerging nations of major importance to the U.S. ag economy. He contends the future U.S. "economic prosperity and wealth [will] center around these emerging nations," which account for 25 percent of the world economy. Since 1998, he noted, "they have accounted for 53 percent of the world's economic growth."
Kohl explained his 8-5-3 GDP rule. "If you see the gross domestic product of these nations averaging above 8 percent, which since 1998 has averaged 9.8 percent, then there is going to be heavy demand for food, fiber and fuel—oil, copper, steel, etc. If it drops back to 5 percent demand softens, and if it drops back to 3 percent, it means these countries are in a recession. And rural America goes into a recession."
Another consideration about rural America economics is that the wealth is not being generated as much from the crops today as it has been in recent years. For rural America, it is becoming a situation of what is under the ground instead of what is on top of the ground. "We have this great wealth in agriculture and in rural America, but much of it is coming from oil, gas and minerals," Kohl said.
He further mentioned that "water will be the new gold in the West and certain parts of the Midwest."
Being additionally positive about rural America, Kohl suggested that technology will pull farmers and landowners through potentially tough times.
"Technology is going to have a big influence. Look at the drought a couple years ago; it could have been a lot worse if we didn't have technology. You won't believe what is coming in technology. You
are seeing the convergence of three technologies that will influence your industry—biotech, information tech and engineering tech. These are going to change where we farm, how we farm and our land management practices."
Kohl countered the positive with comments about how a "crash or bubble" in national economics and land prices has occurred every 30 to 50 years. He quoted the old saying that "the first generation makes it, the second generation holds it and the third generation loses it."
Although Sumner focused mostly on Asia in his presentation, his "bottom line" long-range projections and comments appeared to hold truth for dealing with most, or all, emerging and developing nations having trading relations with the U.S. He provided the following thoughts:
"Growth fundamentals mean strong demand for U.S. farm products derived mainly by income growth [of emerging and developing nations] as the new middle class emerges and wants to consume what we sell.
"Animal products and the feeds for those animals have continued growth prospects, and the U.S. has a strong comparative advantage [to other countries].
"High quality fruits, vegetables and tree nuts also meet the profile of food that will have growing demand as incomes rise above the most dire poverty.
"We should hope that productivity growth continues to allow the poor to continue to eat better and spend smaller shares [of money] on food as has been true for most of the past 70 years. Then, so long as U.S. productivity growth does not lag, agriculture here is poised to benefit."

COOPER CITY, Fla. - A few months ago an Australian cattle dog named Layall was barely able to stand. Now, he's pulling his owner down the street all thanks to a new procedure.
"He's had a marked improvement, he can walk, run, catch frisbees and things like that," his owner told Local 10.
The dog's dramatic turnaround is credited to Cooper City veterinarian Dr. David Bieber, who has seen a common decline in older, large-breed male dogs.
When it started happening to his own aging Lab, Bruno, Bieber faced the heartbreaking possibility of putting his dog down. Then he had an idea after noticing a common thread in these animals -- all were males, neutered at a young age.
Bieber wondered if the underlying cause of degenerative joint and bone disease in male dogs was a lack of testosterone.
"I put it together. I talked to a lot of doctors in the human field and that's when I decided to try it," Bieber said. "There was nothing else to do."
With a few months of treatment, Bruno's testosterone levels went from zero to normal and the dog started walking again. He lived four years on the treatment.
Since then, Bieber has helped extend the lives of many other aging male dogs with testosterone injections.
These injections are not approved for use in animals, so it's referred to as an "off-label" use of the hormone.
The injections cost between $50 and $60 and need to be repeated every four to six weeks.

Stuttering is a problem affecting an estimated 3 million Americans. Most people begin stuttering when they are only children. Children can begin to stutter at ages of three to fiveyears old. For many people, stuttering can be a very short-lived thing.
They will often stutter as they begin to develop their language skills. Most will just grow out of it after a short period of time and stop stuttering. An estimated five to seven percent of children will stutter when they are developing their language skills. Only 1% or less of adults however struggle with stuttering. Continue reading

Audience theory is an element of thinking that developed within academic literary theory and cultural studies.
With a specific focus on rhetoric, some, such as Walter Ong, have suggested that the audience is a construct made up by the rhetoric and the rhetorical situation the text is addressing. Others, such as Ruth Mitchell and Mary Taylor have said writers and speakers actually can target their communication to address a real audience. Some others like Ede and Lunsford try to mingle these two approaches and create situations where audience is "fictionalized," as Ong would say, but in recognition of some real attributes of the actual audience.
There is also a wide range of media theory and communication studies theories about the audience's role in any kind of mediated communication. A sub-culturally focussed and Marxism-inflected take on the subject arose as the 'New audience theory' or 'Active Audience Theory' from the Center for Contemporary Cultural Studies during the 1980s.
Effects models Edit
- The hypodermic needle model
- The intended message is directly received and wholly accepted by the receiver.
- Two-step flow
- The people with most access to media, and highest media literacy explain and diffuse the content to others. This is a modern version of the hypodermic needle model.
- Uses and gratifications
- People are not helpless victims of mass media, but use the media to get specific gratifications.
- Reception theory
- The meaning of a "text" is not inherent within the text itself, but the audience must elicit meaning based on their individual cultural background and life experiences
- Obstinate audience theory
- This theory assumes that there is a transactional communication between the audience and the media. The audience actively selects what messages to pay attention to. The Zimmerman-Bauer study found that the audience also participates in the communication by influencing the message.
Media effectsEdit
- Main article: Media influence
Early research into media audiences was dominated by the debate about 'media effects', in particular the link between screen violence and real-life aggression. Several moral panics fuelled the claims, such as the incorrect presumptions that Rambo had influenced Michael Robert Ryan to commit the Hungerford massacre, and that Child's Play 3 had motivated the killers of James Bulger
In the 1990s, David Gauntlett published critiques on media 'effects', most notably the "Ten things wrong with the media effects model" article.
Centre for Contemporary Cultural StudiesEdit
- Main article: Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies
From the 1970s, researchers from the CCCS produced empirical research about the relationship between texts and audiences. Amongst these was The Nationwide Project by David Morley and Charlotte Brunsdon.
Stuart Hall's Encoding/Decoding model can be seen as the beginning of research into how audiences are active consumers rather than passive recipients.
Nic Gough's seminal Methods of Dissemination essay can be seen as the beginning of research into the media's use of various channels to get the message to the recipient audience.
Methods of Dissemination Edit
by Nic Gough S.I.A.D.
The printed medium (ie books, texts, scripts) enables the end user (audience) to use their own imagination and fill in the blanks for themselves. This gives every audience member a completely unique and original experience based on the limits of their own intellect and application of it in the areas of creativity. This can however lead to them feeling disappointed when viewing the same basic story in another medium. When a book is transposed onto the big screen (cinema) the audience member is then finding themselves in the position of having to accept the film director's interpretation of it. The Director, Producer and Script Writer now have control of the project, which in turn, affects how the characters look, the backdrops/settings and locations used. This is also furthered by the choice of lighting and moods portrayed by incidental music and so forth. A screen adaptation of a book or short story can change so much that it is sometimes almost unrecognisable from the original printed version from whence it was derived. The use of existing and new dialogue in the transition from book to film is often one of the key areas that people who are familiar with the original written piece find that they are left feeling cheated. It must be understood though that the two mediums are completely different and have to use different sets of rules in applying the craft to produce a best seller as opposed to a box office hit. It is therefore understandable that fans of the written work may not like the film version of that 'special book'. The film fan however who sees the film prior to reading the book may experience different opinions on the transposition. The enjoyment of the film may then inspire him/her to seek out the book from which the film was based. This in turn gives the audience member a new angle to which they approach the book, as they will now have a mental picture of the characters and sets gained from the viewing of the film. This ultimately limits or controls the amount of personal imagination that can be exercised in their overall interreaction with the printed version. I would not presume to make an opinion as to which one should be put first be it book or film. I would, however, say that each delivers a story in a way that can in all intents be homogenised when looked at simplistically. It is left to the end user to take that information (be it print or film) and make their own interpretation and judgements on its merits as a form of entertainment, education or whatever category it aims to target.
A book that is transposed to radio can more often than not adhere more closely to the original script. This medium relies on people's imagination nearly as much as the printed word. The use of sound effects and music are used to paint a picture of mood and tempo. This still gives the audience the opportunity to listen and get a feel for what is happening but still enables them the input of their own imagination to give characters faces and make locations seem real to them. A radio play also lends itself to the almost seamless transfer to webcasting.
Webcasting suits both spoken word and musical transmissions and can be accessed at anytime by the audience with the use of computers and/or convergent technologies. This new medium give the audience the opportunity to choose when to listen and also the opportunity to record or even transfer to other technologies for playback at a later time such as use on an iPod. The audience is now also able to discuss the show/play not only with other fans on message boards and discussion groups on the internet but also in many cases with the actors and directors and producers of the show themselves, thus enriching and adding value to the listening experience. Previous generations of listeners may have discussed radio plays and television soap operas with friends and work colleagues as a form of social interaction but never to the extent that we are seeing today. The high adoption rate of convergent technology amongst the younger generation has changed the way film/video/music etc is accessed and the worlds largest companies and broadcasters are continually looking and reviewing the way that they use these mediums to feed the ever hungry audiences the diet of media they desire.
News items are always in demand from audiences all over the world and the hunger for news will never cease. The audience experience depends on how the news is received, a picture accompanying an article on children starving in Africa will usually not have the same impact as viewing the same child on television with the sound recording of him/her crying in pain from the situation they are in. It could be said that the reporting of news on the television of wars, starving children and shootings desensitises the audience and they become numb to the atrocities of the world. It then follows on that if this is so only the most horrific, gruesome and abhorrent news items now actually shock or make the audience think or react to items. If this is the case it could be said that the effects on audience will eventually lead to the collapse of moral standards. "All evil needs is for good men to do nothing". The reporting of graphic images of wounded and dead soldiers during the Vietnam war on television desensitised audiences and ultimately gave Horror film audiences an appetite for gore which film makers served up in the wave of blood and gore Horror films that post dated that period.
News items that were once only broadcast through the news programmes of television and radio stations now make ready use of all the technologies available. People (audiences) are also not only the receivers of news, but they have; through the use of convergent technologies, become news machines themselves. It is now not uncommon for a 'person on the street' to witness a newsworthy event unfolding before their very eyes, this can be recorded on video phones for example and within minutes be uploaded onto internet websites like Youtube. This takes away governments and broadcasters ability to edit or censor items of news. People all over the world are becoming empowered, thus enabling them to broadcast stories that might otherwise be suppressed to a global audience. This use of convergent technology also allows the media to be used in the narrowest of narrowcasting when an item may be sent to just one person.
Audiences will always seek (if not demand) the best possible experience when using the media for information or pleasure. The human brain feeds off 'experience', sight, sound, emotion and a host of intellectual and sensory mores need to be satisfied. This drive and search pushes the boundaries to which the media and entertainment industries constantly try to meet. 'There is no substitute for being there'. At an Ultimate Fighting competition the audience not only experience the buzz of being in the crowd but also the smells of the hotdogs and beer perhaps. The smell of sweat and the sounds of men physically fighting each other. This does not give you the same feeling if viewed on television or on a webcam. This is barbarism and you are experiencing it at first hand - you could almost be at the Coliseum in Rome in another time! Any true sports fan or music fan will tell you the same story, "A live match or concert cannot be beaten". You can shout encouragement at your sporting heroes, abuse the other team and fans or sing along to your favourite band. Yes, you can shout at the TV but it won't respond or react. (Yet!).
In today's world we have the greatest choice of channels of communications to choose from than at any other time in history. It has never been easier for the individual or broadcasting giant to reach its audience. The true challenge still remains the same today, as it did when the first radio message was transmitted and the first book printed; and that is ensuring that the right message is delivered to the right audience and the objectives of the message are received and meet with the audience's expectations. Until that science is perfected the media in all its incarnations will continue to experiment with technologies both old and new to satisfy its audience.

Who Wants To See Shia LaBeouf Get Punched By A Shirtless Fat Guy?
TMZ has obtained footage of what looks like a drunken Shia LaBeouf getting his face pounded in by a random, shirtless fat guy and this is pretty much all that's known:
It's unclear exactly what provoked the attack — but we're told Shia originally got into it with the man inside a bar called Cinema Public House … and after security kicked them both out, the man tore off his shirt and unleashed the fury all over Shia's face.
I'm going to assume it happened like this.
FAT GUY: Excuse me, kind sir. Were you perhaps the artistic director for that Marilyn Manson video who compared it to Un Chien Andalou?
SHIA: Indeed I was.
FAT GUY: *puts down nachos* I demand satisfaction. Have at you!

I've been googling to boot bootable iso off my USB but no luck. Ive tried many different methods but still cant get it to load. My usb is Kingston 8gb and it is bootable. Anyone can help me out?
-Monkeys are like nature's humans.
Yea..my bios does support USB boot. I've tried Universal Boot CD and installed it into my USB and it boots up. The problem with it is tat its linux based which im not good at. I cant get my iso to boot from there as i dont know linux commands. I've followed so many toturials that i cant really remember. I've googled "boot iso off usb drive" and ive tried most of the results toturial. but still no luck.
have you tried the wiki... just wondering is all, if you haven't i link below
Yea..BT3 and some other isos. I know its possible to boot BT3 on USB drive. But it needed to be extracted to the USB drive which i dont prefer. I just wanna boot the iso directly off.
To linkdead..
sure i'll check it out now.
TO: Linkdead.
I tried the toturial in your link which boots BT3. it really boots up BT3 from my USB drive. but when i choose the BT3 KDE graphic mode..it continued booting for awhile and it stalls, giving me a black screen with my mouse flickering. Is there a problem with BT3 in USB?
okay. there isin't a way to boot iso files from usb flash. coz u need cd emulation on ur USB. then..is it possible to boot .bin image files?
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/6/2013 (1516 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It's Thursday morning, three days after Larry Updike was told his contract wasn't being renewed as the host of CBC Radio's local late-afternoon show, and he's seated beside me in the Fort Garry Hotel's breakfast room, talking about how it went down that last day, when in walks a job prospect.
Actually, it's Tom McGouran.
And he wants Larry to work with him again. For the fourth time.
Tom and Larry, who rocked and rolled through the early 1980s and into the mid-1990s, have the distinction of being fired the three previous times they worked together.
Although, contrary to what some remember, they weren't fired for a fake on-air hostage-taking episode that panicked listeners into calling the cops.
Larry wasn't even in on the gag, so Tom took the two-week-suspension hit.
That's showbiz, commercial-radio-style. By 1994, after an aborted bid to break into the Vancouver market, Tom and Larry parted when they could only find work at competing Winnipeg stations. And now Tom, like Larry, is out of work again, too, basically having been forced contractually to take the year off with pay after being dumped last September from 92 CITI-FM, where he'd been paired with Joe Aiello for nearly 20 years. CITI is also the last local station where Tom and Larry did an act that often sounded like a couple of guys who had been partying all night and still hadn't been to bed.
At least not to sleep, anyway.
That was a zillion ratings books ago, though, even if it seems like yesterday to fans like me. And yet all along, they've maintained an off-air togetherness as pals no one could fire.
Which is evident by what Tom chirps when he joins us, just as Larry is discussing his surprise firing Monday.
"What Larry doesn't know," Tom says, trying to lighten the moment, "is I made a few anonymous phone calls. I said, 'I need my guy out.' So he shouldn't take it personally."
We're all laughing now.
And it feels as if they've never been apart; as if I'm joining their act in progress. Or rehearsal.
But there was a touch of intended truth in Tom's little joke. A month earlier, Tom and I had sat together over coffee at the Fort Garry and he had mentioned he and Larry had been talking about teaming up again.
And now, as of September, when both their contracts expire, they're free to do that at any local station that wants them.
"It's wide-open," Tom says. "We're not focusing on a particular format. That's why we're going to shop at all the stations in town."
Of course it's a different commercial radio market than when they were starting out as kids, much like most of their 18- to 24-year-old listeners. The biggest change Tom sees, other than how much more corporate and competitive commercial radio has become, is how DJs don't seem to have as much personality or to be having as much fun.
"And that's what we're about to instil back into it," Tom says in his signature raspy voice.
Ace Burpee fans might have something to say about Tom's take on current radio personalities, and probably will. Anyway, Tom has already put together a demo tape of vintage Tom and Larry moments. It's at https://soundcloud.com/tom-larry if you're interested.
Naturally, there will be those who say, with justification, that a Tom and Larry comeback show on Winnipeg radio in any format is, to put it delicately, unlikely. But not as unlikely as how these two guys got together in the first place. Both knew from an early age what they were intended to do in life, and apart from that -- and being brought up in Toronto at roughly the same time -- that's all they had in common.
For Tom, being on radio, having fun and maybe raising a little hell doing it, is all he has ever wanted to do. While for Larry, being in the pulpit preaching the gospel was all he was ever supposed to do. Tom can remember being in the kitchen as a five-year-old listening to Toronto's dominant station, CFRB, and wanting to be one of the voices that came out of the radio. Larry, meanwhile, was preaching from his preacher father's Pentecostal pulpit by the time he was 14.
But in his early 20s, having been married and divorced, and having all but lost his faith, Larry was about to meet a partner he'd neither really lose, or lose faith in.
By then, Larry had worked in small-town radio to support himself as a pastor. Now he was employed full time as the music director at Winnipeg's 97 FM when Tom was hired.
As Larry details in My Word, the memoir he thought he had finished until this week's abrupt career detour, everything changed when the cherubic-cheeked Larry encountered the simply cheeky Robert Plant look-alike.
"In 1980," Larry writes, "I felt like a failure; disillusioned, betrayed, naive, vulnerable, exposed and ignorant. The anger built. That's when I met Tom McGouran... That's when I went wild."
Starting with Tom introducing Larry to his first taste of beer.
"It's all in my book," Larry says. "It's always come back to Tom and Larry."
"And," says Tom, "we're going to write the last chapter."

The challenge for senior managers in the public sector is to provide incentives and support to call forth more innovation," according to Sandford Borins, Professor of Public Management, University of Toronto, in his recent report, The Challenge of Innovating in Government. Part of that challenge, he says, is in creating an innovative organization and environment that encourage innovation. He cites the lack of financial rewards, the political environment, stringent agency controls, and public domain of public sector intellectual property as major barriers to creating an innovative organization in the public sector.
The report - a combination of two different perspectives on public management innovation, the organization, and the individual innovator - is based on research and surveys of over 300 Federal, State, and local government reformers who received awards for their innovations. Award winning managers from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, and the Departments of Labor, Defense, and Housing and Urban Development participated in the survey.
The report defines the characteristics of an innovative organization and analyzes how several public sector organizations overcame obstacles to innovation. The report also provides recommendations and practical advice for public administrators to use in recognizing and rewarding individual and group innovators and for creating innovative organizations. Recommendations for promoting innovation include:

Man Locks Himself In A Bubble to Await True Love
Posted by Hector Martinez Categories: Internet
Those of you without a Valentine this year can't possibly be this desperate. In a publicity stunt sponsored by Match.com, a 29 year old man has enclosed himself in a bubble at a Sydney, Australia shopping mall until Valentines Day, where he hopes to come out and meet his new girlfriend. May not be considered much of a stunt since it looks like he has all that he needs (read: a laptop and a broadband connection). While I've always wondered what it would be like to meet a girl that's as into technology as I am, something tells me there's some good to having "opposites attract". For example, I can help her with free tech support while she can help teach me about personal hygiene. Oh well. We hope you all have a decent Valentine's Day, whether alone or with another.

IAOM Latin America District Holds Annual Meeting in Mexico
Date Posted: November 26, 2012
The IAOM Latin America District held its 36th annual technical conference last week in Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico.
More than 50 milling professionals from 11 countries attended the event, which was held immediately following the 30th annual Latin American Millers Association (ALIM) meeting at the Fiesta Americana Hotel.
The first day featured a pre-conference workshop on operational processes and applied technologies in grain processing. Andrea Saturno, president of FUNDAUNIPAP, a management consulting company, led the workshop.
Among the topics covered in the workshop were pre-cleaning, receiving, tempering, milling, and aspiration.
The millers took advantage of the opportunity to ask specific questions about their own operations, and learn more about the various technologies available to make operations more efficient.
In the morning of the workshop, IAOM attendees were able to tour the ALIM Expo as well.
Day two was a traditional IAOM district meeting, with a selection of technical presentations coupled with presentations on new tools and technologies during the What's New session.
Presentations ranged from a US wheat crop report, durum wheat milling, and enhancing flour baking properties with enzymes, to lateral detection of mycotoxins, the importance of laboratories to the industry, and key performance indicators in flour milling.
Attendees had the chance to network during a reception on the first evening of the event.
The hotel's terrace provided a perfect venue for fellowship and the opportunity to connect with colleagues.
The district elected a slate of officers , including:
Erwin G. Mier Halkyer, Director, Cereales S.A.
Gerald Richardson, Chairperson, CETEC Cereal Technologies, Inc.
David Tullo, Vice Chairperson, Ingrain, S.A.
Juan Pablo Galvez, Secretary/Treasurer, Precision S.A. De C.V.
Andrea Saturno, 1st Exe. Committeeperson, FUNDAUNIPAP
The 2013 conference is being planned for Nov. 16-17, in Lima, Peru.

• redeem •
Pronunciation: ree-deem • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Verb
Meaning: 1. To pay off the debt on a pawned item to get it back. 2. To cash out (stocks). 3. To save or rescue, especially from a state of sin (to redeem your soul). 4. To exchange for, to convert (redeem a coupon for a ticket). 5. To make up for, make amends, atone for; to restore a reputation (to redeem yourself for doing a bad job).
Notes: No, it doesn't mean "deem again", though this meaning is possible in the appropriate context: "After he confessed, I redeemed him a good person." The sense of today's Good Word comes with a complete family of English relatives, including an active adjective, redeeming, and a passive one, redeemable. The personal noun is redeemer. If capitalized as Redeemer, this word refers to Jesus Christ, the Savior, in the Christian faiths. Only the action noun is Latinate: redemption.
In Play: The most popular usage of today's word is sense No. 5: "Jess Hyde will have to do a hat trick in today's game to redeem himself for the score he kicked into his own goal last week." Here is a sentence that uses this word in the sense No. 3: "Gladys Friday dreamed of someone who would come into her life and redeem her from her miserable job."
Word History: Today's Good Word was borrowed from Middle French redemer "to buy back". French inherited this word from Latin redimere "buy back, ransom, bribe". This word contains re(d)- "again, back" + emere "take, buy, gain". (The D in the prefix is there because the prefix appears before a vowel.) The root of emere, em-, turns up in some PIE languages meaning "take", "have", or "buy". In Serbian it emerges as imati "to have", while in Russian it is barely visible in vozmu "I'll take". Sanskrit yamati "holds" belongs among this lot. (Kathleen McCune of Norway needs no redemption, for she has been contributing Good Words like today's for many years now.)

After seeing two of his colleagues die from cancer Mike Dunning pledged to raise £1,000 for research into the disease.
Now the father of three is more than half-way through his year-long objective of raising funds for Bowel and Cancer Research by running more than 100 miles.
The Burnley 10k later this month will mark the start of his training for the grand finale which will see the 41-year old run the York marathon in October. So far he has completed four 10k races and three half marathons including the Great North Run. In his last race, the Leeds half marathon, Mike achieved a further personal best of 1 hour 48 mins and 29 seconds.
Mike, a wiring loom operator for Rawdon-based Airedale International, was spurred on to raise money for Bowel & Cancer Research after seeing two of his colleagues die from the disease.
To help keep himself on track, he joined a local running club. He also cycles his 34-mile daily commute to and from his Sowerby Bridge home to maintain his fitness levels - often completing the journey faster than a colleague travelling the same route by car.
To keep energy levels up during races, energy gels are a staple but Mike admits to having supplies of jelly beans for an added boost during half marathons. In the 16-week countdown to the York marathon he will run up to 22 miles each week and will start a high carbohydrate diet seven days before the race itself.
Mike, who has lost four stone, has already registered for the 2015 Leeds Half Marathon.
Despite his efforts fund-raising is proving difficult and he still needs another £900 to reach his target.
"It's harder raising the money than it is doing the running but I'm very grateful to everyone for their support so far," he said.
To sponsor Mike, text MMAD69 with the amount you want to contribute to 70070 or visit www.justgiving.com/Michael-Dunning4. Visit www.bowelcancerresearch.org to find out more about bowel cancer.

Poll: Who Went Home Too Soon?by Sara Levine in Food Network Star, May 31, 2012
No Star hopeful wants to make an early exit from the competition, but unfortunately, someone always has to be the first, second or third to go. Cristie Schoen, Kara Sigle and Josh Lyons — eliminated in episodes one, two and three, respectively — didn't have many opportunities to show Bob and Susie their best stuff. Their mentors only had limited time to coach them and help them improve. With more time to learn and grow, could Cristie, Kara or Josh have been a serious contender?
That leads to our poll of the week: In your opinion, which of these three early eliminations happened too soon? Let us know which eliminated finalist you'd bring back to the competition.
Who's your favorite finalist still in the running? Don't forget to cast your Fan Vote up to 10 times per day.

Mid 40's UK couple's first Cruise Review.: MSC Fantasia Cruise Review by georgieali
Overall Member Rating
Mid 40's UK couple's first Cruise Review.
Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean
Embarkation: Barcelona
EMBARKATION: Was reasonably smooth and straight forward, although it wasn't immediately clear which way to go to board. We were approached straight away by ship's staff handing out flyers advertising their restaurants and wine packages. Also grabbed for a photograph!
SHIP: We couldn't fault it. It was massive, extremely clean and everywhere there appeared to be someone cleaning, sweeping, polishing or brushing. It really was immaculate. The decor was luxurious and the glitzy, sparkly staircase was stunning. S
STAFF: We found all staff friendly and polite, particularly the room cleaning staff. They all said "hello" More or "Good morning" as we passed in the corridor, or at the very least - smiled. The reception staff were helpful. DO CHECK YOUR ACCOUNT AS WE WERE GIVEN '£100 ON BOARD SPEND BY VIRGIN, BUT IT DIDNT APPEAR ON OUR BILL. We are phoning them to claim it back.
SAFETY: We were asked to attend a safety demonstration in the Theatre, but we noted that they told us about the excursions first before they showed us how to put on a life jacket (in about 7 different languages!!)
CABIN: We had a balcony cabin on deck 13. It was very clean, and well maintained. The bed was made for us every morning and turned down for us at night. The towels were fluffy and changed every day. We also had a bath robe each; a hairdryer, a TV, minibar (you have to pay for any drink you have). Our particular cabin had an interconnecting door and we could hear the guests in the next room quite clearly; it was two middle aged Italian women and one of them had a very shrill voice, but because we couldn't understand them, it wasn't that intrusive. We didn't hear a peep from the room the other side. The safe was VERY useful and easy to use.
FOOD: The Zanzibar catered for the buffet style dining. There was plenty of varied food, tea, coffee and water. The food wasn't boiling hot, but it was perfectly acceptable. We didn't see that much pushing and shoving that has been described in other reviews, but we did comment on the amount people put on their plates! We always found a seat. There was always plenty of waiters but occasionally we felt a little uncomfortable as they did tend to "hang around" a bit waiting to snatch your empty plate! A number of times the hand sanitizers were empty, but that wasn't a big problem to us as we took our own. The restaurant was great, we had the 1st seating at 6:30pm. The food was faultless and our waiter perfectly friendly and charming. We were seated with two UK couples, a lovely couple on their own and a couple with two immaculately behaved daughters. Be aware that you have to pay extra for your drinks, including bottled water.
SMOKING: We are both non-smokers and people did appear to smoke where they wanted, but there wasn't too much of it and we can't say that it was too bothersome. To get to the Theatre, you do have to walk through the casino which was very smoky. We did see a few people smoking on their balconies. SHOWS: The shows lasted about 40 minutes each and were well done. The girl singers were great and the costumes gorgeous. The Michael Jackson tribute was very good.
EXCURSIONS: As with most other Cruise Lines, they were over priced, but we did the open top bus tour of Genoa (lasted 20 mins and people kept talking) then to the Aquarium, which was fab. We also did the Pompeii trip in Naples and that was FANTASTIC and we loved it. Beware if you stop in Marseille and you have small children; the roads and pavements seem to blend into one, so watch the traffic! In all of the ports the drivers pay no attention to the traffic lights, so don't assume they're going to stop.
DISEMBARKATION: We were asked to leave suitcases (they gave us coloured labels to attach) outside our room by 1am the previous night and to vacate our room by 8am and meet in designated lounges at around 9am (we were a bit late docking). We were then led outside to meet our transfer driver to take us to the airport.
IN SUMMARY: We enjoyed ourselves on the whole, but as this was our first cruise, we have nothing to compare it to. I daresay once we try Royal Caribbean, we'll change our tune. Less

Coupon for readers: Get 10% off MagicByLeah's Artfire Shop by using the code BYHANDGIVEAWAY10 at checkout (limit one coupon code per customer).
The amazing feature of the week is MagicByLeah -- a shop specializing in OOAK (one of a kind) handmade figurines, animal sculptures, trinkets and whimsical jewelry; all sculpted from Polymer Clay.
MagicByLeah started about a year ago, "It's a dream I always had. I put sculpting aside between college and military service. After returning from deployment and finally settling down it seemed like a good time to start."
Moving from the dream to actually creating is MagicByLeah's biggest challenge, "[I have to] stop dreaming and start sculpting. I'm always dreaming of what I want to sculpt [so] I forget to actually START."
A recent accomplishment for her was finishing a particular piece, "I'm in love with my little Dutch bunny (seen above) and almost didn't want to post him for sale."
For inspiration, "I browse google, I'll type in a random word like 'fairy' or 'magic' and see what comes up. Swimming also works but obviously takes more time. There's nothing like a good workout to get my creative juices going."
Besides your shop what makes you tick? "My alter ego runs a private tutoring company Leah4sci.com."
A tip for other sellers: "Keep at it, and be sure [not to] under-price yourself. I did that at first [because I was] afraid people wouldn't pay my proper rates; when I raised my prices and still made decent sales my confidence grew and I was enthusiastic to continue sculpting."
A great way to promote: "It's no secret, the more you put your stuff out there the more people will find you. Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, word of mouth, forums, teams..."
Sweet resources: "I am a big fan of the artist Natasha of the Morezmore estate (morezmore.com). My Sculpt-n-blog follows her style of tutorial-like step by step blogging."
Take a look at her current project: "My latest undertaking is a 2012 collection of '30 Bunnies for Spring' as can be seen on my blog: magicbyleah.blogspot.com."
As for giveaways, "I run giveaways whenever I feel like it or whenever I'm asked to sponsor a giveaway. I've also just started a giveaway blog featuring other artists and their giveaways: magicbyleahpresents.blogspot.com."
A sweet thing MagicByLeah won, "I've recently won two beautiful handmade glass items from MTBaldyGlassworks, one is a multi-color modern-art pendant, and the other is a beautiful handmade candle holder. I was beside myself when I found out that I had won. It was so exciting!"

The Bethesda system (TBS) was developed by the United States National Cancer Institute (NCI) to provide more detailed information about Pap test results. When lab specialists examine cervical cells, they use this system to report the lab results to doctors.
Your doctor gets the report from the lab. The report tells your doctor if the cell sample was good enough to be evaluated. It also lets your doctor know if the cells were normal or abnormal or if there was an infection present.
If the cells were abnormal, they are put in categories, or typed, based on how severe the problem is.
