Ask Shama: Who to follow on Twitter
If you're having trouble finding industry influencers to follow on Twitter, pay attention to the hashtags on your timeline, following the ones that are relevant to your interests. Pavel Ignatov/Shutterstock

The UpTake: Twitter can be a daunting pool to dive into for the uninitiated. But marketing pro Shama Kabani points out the tools and approaches someone can take to keep track of influencers.
Dear Shama,
I'm reading your book, The Zen of Social Media Marketing, at the minute (brilliant book), but I'm stuck with your advice about Twitter. You talk about searching for specific groups/people to connect with, but all my searches have turned up nothing relevant. Am I missing something obvious?
Hello Dave,
Thank you so much for being a reader. As I mention in one of my social media chapters, Twitter can be a great resource for connecting with other businesses in your industry, as well as important influencers. By following noteworthy companies and figures within your industry on Twitter and adding your input to the subjects they are Tweeting about, it allows you to develop a personal relationship with someone you might otherwise have trouble connecting with. However, locating these influential groups and individuals can sometimes be a struggle if you don't know where to look.
One great place to look for relevant Twitter profiles to follow, both personal accounts and business pages, is your LinkedIn profile. If you have been utilizing LinkedIn to build professional connections online, then you have already built up a list of influencers and companies who you are interested in connecting with. To locate a LinkedIn user's Twitter profile, visit their LinkedIn profile page and click on the "Contact Info" tab in the bottom right corner of their profile summary box (where their photo is located). A drop down tab should open which will list a link to their Twitter profile, if they have one listed.
Another great resource for finding people and businesses to follow on Twitter is the website Twiangulate―an app that lets you locate Twitter accounts based on who is following them, who they are following, who they are in reach of, or which keywords they use often. For instance, if you are following a couple of industry influencers already, but are looking to find people with similar interests, you can search for Twitter profiles that both of those influencers currently follow. Or, if you are more interested in a certain industry topic than the people who are talking about it, you can search keywords like "content marketing" or "social media marketing" and find out which profiles cover these topics often.

On the Banned wagon ...
I don't mind this sort of thing as a joke, and yes, many of the words and expressions people are talking about banning are dire, or grossly over-used.
And yet something grates a little.
Perhaps I am a little over-sensitive on the subject of censorship this week, having been reading Nick Cohen's excellent work You can't read this book which is a frightening and depressing polemic on how effectively the enemies of freedom have persuaded us to censor what is said and published.
The glory of the English language is its' diversity. Perhaps we should think a little more carefully before being too quick to suggest, even in jest, that words or phrases should be banned.

Why would you ever want too, I mean U know the f word as well as you do, and yes i know S**t and C**t, and T**t, there is nothing shocking there,
In some ways yes but in others no, you see i don't tend to use swear words a lot.
why don't i use them? -
Its for 2 reasons really, firstly this is a family friendly blog which means i would break the rulss if i tried.
Second and I think most important, if i have a point to raise then I can raise it without using certain combinations of the alphabet which the may find only weakens my point. - 8:32 pm

Josh Hamilton's Four Home Run Bat Heads to Cooperstown
Last week Josh Hamilton became the 16th player ever to hit four home runs in a single game, securing himself a place in the history books -- as if he hadn't done enough already. Now, the bat he used that night in Baltimore is headed to Cooperstown to forever live in the Hall of Fame. It broke last night in the Rangers' 13-6 win over the Angels, so now it can officially be retired to the Hall.

Payday Loans Online
in Finance
Many cash advance lenders have been criticised for charging more than 4,000% annual interest. Their response is that payday loans are indented and distrivuted with the intent to be short-term, so the annual rate makes the fee seem way worse than it actually is. Getting a payday loan and returning on the payment due date is generally inexpensive considering that the loan is unsecured.
Payday loans online are faster when you borrow with Private Loan Shop. Not only is qualifing easy but there is no faxing necessary to get your online payday loan.

Redskins RT Brown has hip surgery, out 6 weeks
ASHBURN, Va. (AP)
Washington Redskins right tackle Jammal Brown is recovering from another hip surgery, ruling him out for the first six games of the regular season.
Coach Mike Shanahan said Monday that Brown will need four to six weeks to recover from the surgery, which Brown had late last week. The Redskins moved the lineman from the active physically unable to perform list to the reserve physically unable to perform list, which means he can't play in the first six weeks of the NFL season.
Brown was a first-round draft pick by the New Orleans Saints in 2005 and went to the Pro Bowl in 2006 and 2008, but he missed the 2009 season after surgery on his left hip. The Saints then traded him to Washington, where he has struggled to remain healthy.
Brown was limited by his ailing hip in 2010 and missed the last four games of last season when it flared up again. He then re-injured his hip while running sprints on the eve of this year's training camp. The latest surgery is again on his left hip, but his right hip has also been sore.
''He's saying right now that the surgery really helped him. He's feeling good,'' Shanahan said. ''Realistically, from my perspective, you never know. You're always hoping that a guy's going to come back, but it's been bothering him for a while.''
Brown's injury makes Tyler Polumbus the probable starting right tackle for the regular season opener against the New Orleans Saints on Sept. 9. The six-year veteran started three games last season and has held the spot throughout training camp and the preseason.
''He's done a very good job,'' Shanahan said.
The offensive line remains the major question mark for the Redskins (No. 32 in the AP Pro32), who have allowed 40-plus sacks in each of the last three years. Left guard Kory Lichtensteiger has missed the entire preseason while recovering from left knee surgery, but he has returned to practice and said he remains on pace for the opener.
''I'm encouraged,'' Lichtensteiger said. ''I don't see anything standing in the way of me being ready.''

We present an integrated method for program proving, testing, and debugging. Using the concept of metamorphic relations, we select necessary properties for target programs. For programs where global symbolic evaluation can be conducted and the constraint expressions involved can be solved, we can either prove that these necessary conditions for program correctness are satisfied or identify all inputs that violate the conditions. For other programs, our method can be converted into a symbolic-testing approach. Our method extrapolates from the correctness of a program for tested inputs to the correctness of the program for related untested inputs. The method supports automatic debugging through the identification of constraint expressions that reveal failures.

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames
Question from dranblade
I cant get my game to let me use multiplayer?
6 years ago
Help please!
6 years ago
Mercenaries 2 uses a,"Drop in, Drop Out" Online Multiplayer Set-up. Start the game, then pause. Go to Options, then hit Multiplayer. Change the privacy depending on who you want in your game. If you really want to play with someone, choose,"Anyone". If you don't like that, and have a lot of friends who can play with you, switch it to,"Friends". Finally, if you don't want anyone joining without your permission, switch it to,"Invite Only".
This can be compared to your NAT settings, with Invite Only being Strict, Friends being Moderate, and Anyone being Open.
And remember, Multiplayer is only available on System Link, where you need an Ethernet cable, two gaming consoles, and two TVs, and need to connect the Ethernet cable to both consoles, or you can go Online. Unfortunately, playing offline on the same console is impossible in Mercenaries 2.

Though this wharf-side bar and grill offers good fish and seafood (hence the heavy traffic from locals and tourists), there's also chicken, steak, pizza and a mile-high meatloaf for the truly dogged landlubber. Seafood fans, please note: Abalonetti really nails Monterey Bay squid. It's cleaned in-house, a rare labor of love that results in flavorful dishes with fine texture. The signature calamari filet "Abalonetti" is fork-tender with just enough breading. We also recommend the "Marty" special --- calamari and eggplant cutlets with marinara. The hands-down winner from the dessert tray is "coppa," a tiramisu-like concoction with mascarpone, chocolate and a little grappa for a kick. No wonder this Fisherman's Wharf institution has stayed around for more than 60 years. |

Abstract: | Designing models for learning textual entailment recognizers from annotated examples is not an easy task, as it requires modeling the semantic relations and interactions involved between two pairs of text fragments. In this paper, we approach the problem by first introducing the class of pair feature spaces, which allow supervised machine learning algorithms to derive first-order rewrite rules from annotated examples. In particular, we propose syntactic and shallow semantic feature spaces, and compare them to standard ones. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our proposed spaces learn first-order derivations, while standard ones are not expressive enough to do so. |

BRA, lake level: two sides to every story
There has been a great deal of talk and discussion in the community regarding the Lake Granbury water level and its effect on the future of Granbury and Hood County.
But as we all know, there are two sides to every story. And, it is unfortunate that there has been so much misinformation voiced and without a response. It is also unfortunate that some city and county leaders who have voiced their concerns in the media and otherwise have not responded to opportunities to meet with the BRA to seek the facts.
As a recently reappointed member of the BRA Board of Directors, over the past eight years I have learned much about the current and future water requirements of our basin and the state. I am also a native Texan, resident of Hood County for over 20 years and lakefront property owner for half that time. Like so many of you in this community, I am seriously concerned by the lower lake levels and river flows here and throughout Texas. I want to take this opportunity to state some facts so that each and every one of you may decide for yourselves what is reasonable, what is factual and what is not. Here are some of the unfounded rumors, along with the actual facts.
BRA has not put money into infrastructure for the local community.
Without DeCordova Bend dam there wouldn't be a Lake Granbury. Lake Granbury was built as a water supply reservoir and recreation is a secondary benefit. In the past 5 years, the BRA has spent $6.7 million on major rehabilitation projects at the dam. Additionally, normal annual maintenance required for a 40+ year old structure averaged $394,400 annually for each of the last 5 years. Please keep in mind, as I cite some pretty substantial expenditure numbers; BRA Is Not a taxing entity, nor do we receive appropriations from the state. The BRA is a self-supporting, nonprofit, quasi-state agency, as are all Texas river authorities.
BRA is not taking advantage of the lower lake levels to fix boat ramps.
The BRA spent $80,800 to widen the Granbury Rough Creek boat ramp to 4 lanes. For the past 5 years, the BRA has spent an average of $115,000 per year on maintenance and general repairs at Granbury lakeside parks.
In February, the BRA posted an advertisement for bid for the first phase of a three-year project to extend and widen boat ramps, build bulk heading and improve park amenities at Lake Granbury.
The BRA does nothing financially to support the local community.
The BRA has indeed supported the local community; including a sale of lakefront property that is now City Beach and parking areas for the Convention and Visitors Complex. The city of Granbury purchased these properties from the BRA at a cost of $5,500. The property is currently valued by the Hood County Appraisal District at $2 million! Additionally, the BRA continues to provide the city with permits for 5 commercial docks, including the breakwater at City Beach, free of charge.
Along with these community amenities, the BRA provides the Granbury Peewee Football and Cheerleaders association and the Granbury Soccer Association with leases of BRA property at a minimal cost. The BRA has not felt the need to publicize or toot their horn over these beneficial programs and partnerships. They are simply a means of supporting this local community.
BRA is letting water go down the river and be lost to the Gulf of Mexico.
The System Operation Permit, which has upset so many Granbury residents, includes the means for BRA to allow for the beneficial use of water before it flows downstream into the Gulf of Mexico. Without this permit, state law prohibits the BRA from using or storing the flows that are lost into the Gulf.
BRA chose to close the Possum Kingdom hydroelectric plant in hopes of getting a new water permit.
In August of 2007, the hydroelectric plant at Possum Kingdom Lake was closed due to safety concerns. The 70+ year old facility needed substantial renovations for continued operations. The BRA entered into a contract to allow the existing electric generation company to assume control of the facility and perform the needed restoration; however, the electric company did not pursue the option of continuing operations.
BRA has shut down the dam at PK and there is no way to release water.
Without the hydroelectric generators, the BRA continues to release water from the PK dam via 9 flood gates and 3 low-flow gates. In addition, the BRA is currently constructing a controlled outlet conduit, in the area of the former hydroelectric generators, which will allow for water to be released at the same elevation as during hydroelectric generation. The project cost for the controlled outlet conduit is $9.3 million.
BRA is not accountable for their actions.
The BRA is accountable to the Texas Legislature, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, our system water customers and the Governor of Texas, to name a few. The State of Texas needs more water for a growing population and entities like the BRA are responsible for securing new water resources. Further examples of accountability and transparency include budgets, audits, and audio minutes of the board meetings, available to the public on the BRA website. If you are not able to attend the BRA board meetings, you may listen to them in their entirety on the BRA website: www.brazos.org. The fact is that BRA is doing exactly what it was created to do – provide water from the lakes it built for that very purpose.
Low lake levels have affected tourism in Granbury.
On December 22, 2012, the Hood County News quoted City Manager Wayne McKethan stating that "last year was a record year for sales tax revenues, but the first few months of the current fiscal year have proven even better – 10 percent higher than last year's," suggesting that the local economy is thriving.
Home sales and property values have decreased due to the lower lake levels.
Last July, the Hood County News quoted Hood County Chief Tax Appraiser Greg Stewart as saying the trend in lower property taxes had reversed. He was surprised there was a slight increase in tax values, noting "I figured the values would be flat." Just a few days ago, the Hood County News reported that pending home sales for January were up by 25.5 percent from last year, while pending sales were up 37.5 percent. These facts suggest that home sales and property values are not being adversely impacted by lower lake levels.
The lower lake levels are not a result of drought. They are a result of BRA mismanagement.
State Climatologist John Nielson-Gammon reported that 2011 was the driest year since rainfall has been recorded in 1890. He reported that 2012 also broke records for drought, noting that October – December was the third driest on record.
The BRA has not made a water supply release from Lake Granbury since January, 2012. With the exception of one flood water release made when Lake Granbury filled in the springtime, the only releases from Lake Granbury have been the regular low-flow made to maintain the health of the fish and wildlife in the river. Though Lake Granbury filled at the beginning of 2012, Possum Kingdom Lake did not recover.
Many residents have claimed that the lack of hydroelectric generation has caused water level at Granbury to drop. In 2007, the BRA discontinued operations of the hydroelectric facility at Possum Kingdom Lake; yet Lake Granbury was full for most of 2008 and all of 2010.
Drought conditions, high evaporation rates, and low flow environmental releases in 2009, 2011 and 2012, as well as the continued use of the stored water supply in the reservoirs, caused the lake levels to drop.
Additionally, according to BRA's license with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, hydro releases were stopped when Possum Kingdom's water supply level dropped below elevation 990 mean sea level. Therefore, if hydro were in operation today, with today's reservoir level of 989.75, only low flow or water supply releases would be made from Possum Kingdom Lake.
The major cause of lake level decline is the lack of rain, coupled with the continued use of the water supply from these reservoirs for households, electric generation and agriculture.
It is important to remember that anyone can make a statement and claim it is fact; therefore, I issue you this challenge. Ask your city and county officials if the information brought to light here is correct. Check the budgets and audited financial reports available on the BRA website (www.brazos.org).
Watch the state and local news and follow drought conditions in the basin, state and nation. Verify the facts for yourself and then reach your own conclusions.
Thankfully, our current situation is not permanent. The fact is that at some point – today, next week or next month, it will rain again and the reservoir will fill.
The vitriol and angst frequently generated in local meetings serves no purpose except to create misdirected emotion.
Therefore, I urge us to all come together, pray for much needed rain and be grateful for all that we have in this Great State.

Can you believe this is the last Monday of November!?!? It's also my hubby's birthday today....he's 30....eeek.
I used two different {ippity} stamp sets for this weeks {Mojo Monday} card.
{Just Wanted To Say}
{Because Of You}
I stamped the big love background to create the background. I wasn't paying very close attention when I was stitching and oopsed a bit so I ended up just stitching along the two sides and really like it. It's a nice change to the stitching along all the sides. The scallop along the bottom is a last minute add on. I cut my card base to big and needed something to fill the space. This card turned out to be a lot of happy accidents :)
Thanks for stopping by!

For the seventh year, students and community members from AULA will participate in V-Day and join a global voice that is demanding an end to violence against women. V-Day is a catalyst that promotes creative events to increase awareness, raise money, and revitalize the spirit of existing anti-violence organizations.
"The World Health Organization states that worldwide, almost one third of all women who have been in a relationship have experienced physical and/or sexual violence by their intimate partner. In some regions this is much higher," says Terra Forbes, co-director of the 2014 AULA V-Day events. "And that is just cases of intimate relationships, not including attacks from unknown persons."
AULA will be offering two V-Day performances: V-Day's signature performance, "A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant and A Prayer" on Friday, February 28, 2014 and "Any One of Us: Words From Prison" on Saturday, March 1, 2014. Both performances will be held on campus at 7:00 p.m.
In advance of the performances, on Thursday, February 13 from 8:00 a.m. until 6 p.m., organizers are hosting a bake sale to raise funds for anti-violence organizations. Community members will also have the opportunity to purchase a singing telegram for their favorite student or colleague. Later that evening at 6:30 p.m. will boast AULA's first V-Day open mic night. The theme is the V-Day movement, and all forms of artistic expression are welcome. Interested participants can reserve a 3-5 minute spot for the open mic by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. Everyone, regardless of gender, is invited to participate.
All proceeds will benefit The Downtown Women's Center and WriteGirl. Tickets are available at Brown Paper Tickets.
"Violence against women has affected every single person I know in some way," notes Forbes. "V-Day gives us a voice to act against it – to take this serious problem out from under the rug it gets swept under and shine a light on it. This is my third year participating in V-Day at AULA and I am always honored to be a part of such a wonderful community of activists."

How has the economy changed in your region and country over the past generation?
How has the economy changed in your region and country over the past generation?
Over the past generation, entrepreneurship has gained popularity and validity. Entrepreneurs have started businesses that created entire new industries, from express delivery to genetically-engineered drugs. Huge companies such as IBM were supplanted by smaller, more nimble firms such as Microsoft, Dell Computer, and Apple. Students should give examples of new venture creation and job growth due to entrepreneurship in their region and country. Students can bring financial data and references to class to support their examples.

President Obama is clearly frustrated that having inherited an economy that was at death's door, he is getting remarkably little credit for getting it back on its feet.
The threat from Islamic State "is personal for us in New Hampshire," said Sen. Jeanne Shaheen.
The midterm elections are coming up, and despite the fact that a Politico poll shows Republicans have serious "lady problems," as the "Colbert Report" host puts it, most GOP candidates seem hellbent on continuing to ignore and belittle more than half the country's population.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch—as foreign events hog the spotlight—why haven't Republicans sealed the deal on the coming election?
The short-term future of politics in the nation's capital will be determined in large part by which party ends up in control of the Senate. But for a sense of the long-term future of politics in the country as a whole, watch the governors' races.
The newspaper Azzaman reports that a U.S. drone hit mortar emplacements and F-18s struck artillery arrays and armored vehicles deployed by the so-called Islamic State in Kuwair east of Mosul on the way to the Kurdistan capital of Irbil, and near a major dam, some areas of which are controlled by the IS fighters.
The central issue in this fall's elections could turn out to be a sleeper: What kind of Republican Party does the country want?

What's happening in the Republican primaries is less a defeat for the tea party than a surrender by the GOP establishment, which is winning key races by accepting the tea party's radical anti-government philosophy.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that Republican Sen. Pat Roberts on Monday was allowed to keep his job despite a challenge brought by tea party activists claiming he spends so much time out of Kansas, he wouldn't even qualify for in-state tuition if he went back to school.
Bragging about what they've achieved is what incumbent politicians do. But as Democrats struggle to hang on to the Senate this year (and try against the odds to take over the House), they are not in the usual boasting mood.
Despite Republican claims to the contrary, things are definitely looking up. Democrats ought to be clicking their heels and spreading the good news.
The Democrats' biggest strategic challenge in maintaining control of the U.S. Senate involves motivating the party's base while simultaneously attracting swing and even Republican voters in contests being waged in conservative states.

As the midterm elections approach, both public opinion data and the facts on the ground are taking a significant turn.
Bill Moyers interviews Kim Barker and Andy Kroll about the explosion of dark money spending in this year's midterm elections, and the impact of looming Supreme Court decisions.
Here is what Democrats should learn from their party's loss in a special House election in Florida last week: Wishy-washy won't work.
Listlessness is bad politics. Defensiveness is poor strategy. And resignation is never inspiring.
President Obama's feelings won't be hurt if Democrats running for re-election ask him to keep clear of their races, says an anonymous senator speaking to The Washington Post.
Usually when we report on voters' disapproval of Congress, it's with the caveat that most people like their own incumbents. That's not so anymore.
A new poll shows the GOP on top of the Democrats heading into the midterm elections next year and while it's far too soon to be definitive, the numbers should alarm the president and his party.
Catching up on the day's political news, one can see that the preferred issues of the Democrats and Republicans heading into the midterm elections are already having an impact.
Maybe it's the NSA spying, the fact that the economic recovery has mostly benefited the richest Americans or the threat to bomb Syria. Regardless, a growing majority of the country disapproves of the president's job performance.

There are two questions on every issue that every politician worries about: Do my constituents care? And, more importantly, how much do they care?
Was 2010 American liberalism's Waterloo? If there is one thing the Obama White House most underestimates, it is the dispirited mood of its troops.
It's been not quite two months' time since Republicans won a sweeping midterm victory, and already they seem divided, embattled and—not to mince words—freaked out. For good reason, I might add.
Being the party of "new and improved" surely beats getting trapped in a fight whose terms were set entirely by Republicans.

The military's major campaign in Kandahar has been largely ignored. The American public cannot have a debate on the war if it is not even mentioned in public.

The nation is dividing into ever-more-irreconcilable niches—like fans of competing teams, rather than members of a greater whole with shared purpose.
"Why don't they fight back?" That's the question I've been hearing from the Democratic Party's stunned and dispirited base.

Taxes are the best weapon against the kind of self-perpetuating Ivy League elitism so despised by the tea party.
Election Day exit polls showed that the health care bill is not nearly so widely despised as right-wing propaganda suggests—and that its demise is certainly not the highest priority of voters.
In 2008, the largest number of voters in American history gave the Democrats their largest share of the presidential vote in 44 years and big majorities in the House and Senate.

Much has been made of the $4 billion spent in the midterm elections, including $140 million of Meg Whitman's own money, but spending, as Ms. Whitman found out, does not equal victory. Sharron Angle spent more per voter than any other candidate—about $97—and still lost.
Glenn Greenwald of Salon and Lawrence O'Donnell of MSNBC share a lot of views, but the two got into a shouting match over the value of conservative Democrats in the aftermath of the tea party holocaust. Here the two hash out their differences, with a little "West Wing" digestif.
The day after his shellacking, the bruised president offered a sober, tripartite analysis of voters' message.
Washingtonians giggle at the new and the recycled anti-Washington loudmouths coming or coming back to our capital city. There are no outsiders inside the Beltway.
Today on the list: President Obama confirms that his is a Republican health care plan, Noam Chomsky considers "a level of anger ... like nothing I can recall in my lifetime," and a random act of culture that brings a Macy's crowd to its feet.
In his only interview since the GOP rampage, with Steve Kroft of "60 Minutes," President Obama was reasonable, analytical, professorial—but also uninspired and uninspiring.
Robert Greenwald and the crew over at Brave New Films have come up with a fun way to handle election hangover.

hand embroidered napkins - set of 4
Community Voted
- the story
Help protect the endangered snow leopard while making sure you don't save any tomato sauce for later on your shirt. This set of four intricately stitched napkins is made from hand-spun and embroidered cotton by families in the Chitral district of northern Pakistan. Living at the base of the Himalayan mountains, Chitrali families often find themselves at odds with the indigenous and endangered snow leopard population. As many of these families depend on livestock for their livelihood, snow leopard attacks can often have devastating economic impacts and prompt poaching to prevent future attacks.
In an effort to ease the financial burdens that cause snow leopard poaching, the Snow Leopard Trust provides training and equipment to families in central Asia to create beautiful, handmade products from the wool of their livestock. The trust also provides a yearly bonus to communities who sign a conservation agreement to protect the leopards in their area. Handmade by artisans in Pakistan.

In Up and Running with Photoshop Lightroom 4, author Jan Kabili introduces the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom features for organizing, enhancing, and sharing digital photos and video clips. The course shows how to import photos and video clips from a camera and from a hard drive, explaining how Lightroom catalogs work along the way, and how to manage and organize photos and video clips with the Library module. The course also covers enhancing photos in the Develop module, including cropping, adjusting exposure, recovering details from highlights and shadows, sharpening and adding clarity, and correcting part of a photo, as well as enhancing video clips. The course concludes with a look at sharing photos: posting them on Facebook, creating photo books, exporting, and printing.
Sharing photos on Facebook is all the rage these days. Lightroom 4 gives you a way to share your photos and videos directly from Lightroom to Facebook. You'll do that from the Publish Services panel here on the left side of the library module. The first time you try to share to Facebook you have to go through a set up process to authorize Lightroom to have access to your Facebook account and to set some parameters for how your photos are going to be uploaded to Facebook. To do that I'll go to the Facebook button in the Publish Services panel and I'll click Set Up. That opens Lightroom's Publishing Manager.
The first thing I'll do here is to go to this section where I'll authorize Lightroom and Facebook to talk to one another. I'll click authorize on Facebook. And then I'll click OK. That opens by default Web browser to the Facebook log in page where I'll type my Facebook log in here and my Facebook password down here and then I'll click Log in. That takes me back to Lightroom where I'll complete the hand shake between Lightroom and Facebook by clicking Done. I'm going to minimize my Web browser back here just to unclutter things.
Now I'm going to go through the fields in the publishing manager setting up the way that I want to have photos uploaded to this Facebook account. This is not something that you need to do every time that you upload to Facebook. Although you can come back in here and edit the settings that you enter. First of all, I'm going to give this Facebook publish service a name because I could have more than one Facebook publish service with different settings. I'm going to call this My Author Facebook Publish Service. And I don't want to press Enter or Return on my keyboard yet. Instead I'm going to come down to the Facebook album section.
Here I'm going to choose which Facebook album is going to contain my Lightroom photos. I could click Create a New Album or I can go with an album that I already have on Facebook. I'm going to choose my existing Lightroom pics album there. I'll come down to the Facebook title section. Here I'm going to specify what title will appear under each photo that I upload to Facebook from Lightroom. The default is IPTC Title. If you happen to type the title into the IPTC area of the Metadata panel over in Lightroom's Library module then that would make sense but I don't usually do that, so I'm going to use as my title file name, or I could just leave that area blank.
Here I can specify how to name a photo if it is a photo that is an update of a previous upload. So if I have a photo that I want to modify in some way and then re-upload to Facebook I could either use the existing title or replace that title. I'll go with Replace Existing Title. I'm going to scroll down and here are some more settings. Here I can specify how I want the files that are uploaded to Facebook to be named. I could just leave them with their original names, the names that they have in Lighroom, or if I want to rename them I can click this check box and here I have a lot of different options for renaming.
I could choose to keep the file name and add a sequence number, to type in a custom name and then have that followed by the original file number, or type in a custom name and have that followed by a sequence number and so on. I'd like the idea of keeping the original file numbers somewhere in the new file name so I'm going to choose Custom Name>Original File Number. And then as the custom part of those names, I'm going to type FB for Facebook and then here you can see how the file names are going to look. I'll come down to the video section.
I can upload video clips to Facebook from Lightroom so I want to be sure to keep Include Video Files checked. The best format for that is H.264. And here I can specify the amount of compression or the quality of those video clips that I upload to Lightroom. This probably doesn't need to be at max. I'm going to set it to medium and if I find that I don't like the way my videos looked I can always come back in here and edit that setting. In the File Setting section I really have no choice of image format. When you're uploading to Facebook, the only thing you can upload in terms of still images are JPEGs but here I can choose the compression quality.
The higher the compression quality, the better the photos will look but the bigger they'll be. I usually leave that set to about 80. I don't want to limit the file size of my uploads to Facebook. Currently you can upload photos that are as big as 15 megabytes and I don't think that is going to be a problem for me. My camera doesn't capture anything that big. I'll scroll down to the image sizing area. Sometimes I start with really big files, RAW files. I don't need to upload files that big, so I do like to check Resize to Fit and from this menu I can choose whether I want to specify within height, short edge, megapixels, or long edge.
I'm going to go with long edge and I'll leave that set to 720 pixels. Although you can upload larger images to Facebook, I like to stick with that. And just in case I happen to start with a small image, I don't like to enlarge small images so I'll make sure that this is checked, Don't Enlarge. I'll come down to the Output Sharpening section. Earlier in the course, I showed you how to do capture sharpening at the beginning of processing your photos. Now, when it's time to output for Facebook, I do like to sharpen the photos once more to adjust the amount needed for display on screen and I'll leave the actual amount set to Standard.
In the Metadata section, I can decide how much information to send with the file. I can either send all the metadata or all the metadata except the information that comes from my digital camera about the shooting settings for example, or I can send even less information, just my copyright and contact information, or copyright only. I'm going to go with Copyright and Contact Information Only. If I did leave this set to All or All Except Camera and Camera Raw info then I also would have this option to Remove Location Info and I would do that in that case just for privacy reasons.
Finally I'll come down to the Watermarking section. Here I can choose to have a Simple Copyright Watermark at the bottom of each image or I could create a more elaborate water mark. Just to show you what this looks like, I'm going to choose Edit Watermarks. And that opens this editor where you can see that by default each image is going to have my copyright information down here and that information comes from the Metadata on each photo because when I import my photos from my camera card I do add copyright. I'll just leave the watermark at that and if you don't want to have any watermark on top of your photos then you can uncheck Watermark.
Now that I've set all those parameters I'm going to click Save. Now in the Publish Services panel you can see the customized Facebook service that I just set up including the destination album for my Lightroom pictures inside of Facebook. Now that I've got all that set up it's going to be a breeze to upload photos from Lightroom to Facebook whenever I want to. I'll show you how to do that in the very next movie so stay tuned.

Let's do it back to them.
I have never lived in North Carolina, but I have great filial affinity, affection and appreciation for the Tar Heel State, home of my father's large family and the native soil on which my first ancestor in my father's line landed from Spain in 1837.
In the 112trh Congress, about to entertain us with it's Lame Duck finale, there are a majority of 7 Democrats in the 13 member North Carolina Congressional delegation. But, after GOP controlled redistricting, the balance will instead be 4 Democrats and 9 Republicans in the upcoming 113th Congress. That 4:9 ratio presumes that Democrat Mike McIntyre holds on to his slim 507 vote lead. If he loses, the imbalance will be worse.
Of course, it is not as though no one saw this coming. The Washington Post put it none too subtly in their piece titled North Carolina: The GOP's Golden Goose of redistricting
"Republicans would be disappointed in North Carolina if they didn't pick up two seats," said Dallas Woodhouse, the state director for the conservative group Americans for Prosperity. "Three would probably be the maximum."They almost got four seats from us.Either way, North Carolina would likely constitute the GOP's biggest gains in 2012. And much of the GOP's redistricting energy will be spent in this state.
I'm a little sensitive to this sort of thing. I lived in Texas in 2003 when the criminal, Tom DeLay, masterminded the off year redistricting of that great state in order to steal Democratic Congressional seats. It is even more of a travesty in this case that it was back in Texas because unlike Texas, North Carolina is really a very balanced, purple place, as demonstrated in MattTX's well received diary.
North Carolina is worth fighting for and we can only hope that worthy Democrats step forward in the Tar Heel State to usurp these 1st term Republicans that North Carolina has so improvidently sent to reinforce the GOP Talibanistas in the House of Representatives.
But I say if Republicans can do this, then so can Democrats. And I have the perfect place for us to start, right now, with an off year legislative redistricting plan designed to unseat Michelle Bachmann in 2014 by jiggering her district, the Minnesota 6th CD, where she has just barely survived a close election. In the regular round of redistricting after the decennial census, Minnesota kind of missed out. Unlike North Carolina, where Democrat, Bev Purdue, caved to draconian redistricting by her GOP controlled statehouse, Minnesota's Mark Dayton dug in his heels and prevented post-2010 ascendent Republicans from doing the same up North. As a result the courts imposed a map that more or less prerserved the status quo. After last week's election, though, the Minnesota DFL has a Governor and control of both the House and Senate.
To all Kossack friends in Minnesota, call and write your DFL leadership. It's time to redistrict Minnesota.

Maybe you won't pay several hundred dollars for a pair of sneakers, but there are a lot of people who will — providing they are the right sneakers. The demand for certain models has spawned a robust market for re-sellers — people who buy up the available supply and re-sell them for a profit.

Review by:
Shelly Hammond
on June 13, 2013 :
This was one of those stories that I really didn't know what was to come by the title alone. I had so many things running through my mind based on the title alone! This is a very short story, coming in at 19 pages, so I decided to find out exactly what it was all about so I began to read…
It starts out with a prologue that introduces the reader to a world of zombies and those that are trying to survive. It's told from the perspective of a girl who is telling the story of her mother and father. As it goes on, it sets up the opening of the story perfectly. You get to follow Wunder, the main character, through a short, but fun and quite steamy, adventure that builds neatly up to a planned follow up that you will seriously be begging for.
At a few points in the story it is a tiny bit rushed but and I repeat that big butt (and refrain from singing about big "buts" and hope that you are right now just because that would make me giggle) not enough to take away from this brilliantly fun and totally unique short story. It's hard to write a short story that makes this much sense, has a new concept, keeps the action going, has an incredibly hot make-you-blush-a-bit love scene or two, and zombies to boot keeping it all under 20 pages but here it was done and it was done wonderfully.
Ah, if you thought you were getting more than that about story, characters, and plot, you've never read any of my other reviews! I don't give the story away. That would just be silly and ruin it for you. You only get the basics and told that you need to go get your own copy and read it for yourself! Get it, it's a great fun read. I really enjoyed it and I am on the edge of my seat waiting on the next installment to find out what happens. What a cliffhanger to leave it at!! I can't wait!
