Spiritual Experience
Malinda E. Cramer
Harmony Magazine 1894 - Vol. 7. No. 1
He who knows what is truth, speaks of what is as eternal life, and of conditions that have passed away as temporary beliefs.
It was early one morning in the year 1885, during an hour of earnest meditation and prayerful seeking, that I asked the following questions in faith, believing that they would be answered, with a willingness to abide the decision, whatever it might be. "Is there any way out of these conditions? Is there any power in the vast universe that can heal me?" The immediate and all-convincing response was not an audible voice, but was an intuitive response by the life-giving spirit, which penetrated the body through and through, and which illumined and vivified its every atom with newness of life. From the depths of Divine perception and understanding I was caused to know and realize that if I got well it would be by the power of the Infinite Spirit. I arose from my chair, and walking the floor said, "If, if, if I ever get well, then there is one way out of these conditions; then I must seek that way."
At that time I had received medical advice, which I endeavored to obey implicitly, and had been under medical treatment most of the time for more than twenty years.

From yogurts to powders and capsules, probiotic supplements have become an increasingly popular product advertised to boost your immune system and improve digestive health. But with all supplements and over-the-counter products, caution and care should be taken before adding probiotics to your daily routine.
Probiotics are living microscopic organisms or bacteria, found naturally in the human body. Probiotic supplements are made to be similar to the microorganisms that are referred to as the "good bacteria" found in the gut.
Although more strong scientific evidence to support specific uses of probiotics for most conditions is still needed, some studies suggest that probiotics may be helpful in some cases.
Boosting your immune system by enhancing the production of antibodies to certain vaccines is one possible benefit.
Producing substances that prevent infection and control inflammation is another. Preventing harmful bacteria from attaching to the gut lining and growing can aid in strengthening the mucus in your intestine and help it act as a barrier against infection.
Some of the most common digestive issues where probiotics may be beneficial include:
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)— Bifidobacterium infantis, Sacchromyces boulardii, Lactobacillus plantarum and combination probiotics may help regulate how often people with IBS have bowel movements and may help relieve bloating from gas.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) — Some studies suggest that probiotics may help reduce inflammation and delay the next bout of disease. E. coli Nissle and a mixture of several strains of Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium and Streptococcus may be most beneficial.
Infectious diarrhea — Saccharomyces boulardii and Lactobacillus may help shorten the duration of infectious diarrhea.
Antibiotic—related diarrhea such as Clostridium difficile (C. diff) — There is evidence that taking probiotics when you first start taking an antibiotic may help prevent antibiotic-related diarrhea. Saccharomyces boulardii and Lactobacillus may also help treat C. diff and prevent it from reoccurring.
Other potential uses for probiotics include maintaining a healthy mouth and preventing and treating certain skin conditions like eczema.
Although probiotics appear safe for most people, you should talk to your physician before adding them to your diet and make sure your pharmacist is aware that you are taking them if you take other prescribed or over-the-counter medications. Studies suggest that probiotics usually have few side effects. However, data on safety, particularly long-term safety, are limited, and the risk of serious side effects may be greater in people who have underlying health conditions.
In addition, probiotics are considered dietary supplements and therefore the health benefits claimed by manufacturers of probiotics are not FDA regulated or FDA approved. This means they are not standardized, and are made in different ways by different companies with different additives; reading the label is very important.

DKNY, which just launched a new website targeted at the Middle East, has decided it wants to expand its base of consumers with a new line just for Muslims. The line's theme is Ramadan.
With one billion Muslims as customers, designers Tamara Al Gabbani from Dubai and Kuwaiti Styles magazine fashion editor Yalda Golsharifi created an array of conservative outfits featuring high necklines and low hemlines.
One Pakistani commentator called the creations "effortlessly chic, fresh, and elegant, and inspirational for Muslim women looking for ways to be glam and modest at the same time."
Photos by Saeed Al Khalifa are exhibited in DKNY's lookbook.
AP reported in June that growing numbers of luxury brands are tailoring their products for Muslims because of the rush by Muslims to buy products before Ramadan and during the holiday of Eid that follows the month of Ramadan. Tourists from the Middle East spent $1.5 billion buying products in London last year according to AP.

Wrestlemania XV lacked magic
You may ask yourself why my column is a weekend late this week. It's not because of some mix-up, it's not because of a laziness on this writer's part, or a lack of memory. It's because I sat down, I started to write my reactions to Wrestlemania, as I always do the week after, and I had a thought.
Was Wrestlemania really that good or was it just the hype and the good crowd? Was Wrestlemania XV really a good show?
I couldn't decide for myself, so I had to watch it again. And Friday morning, that's just what I did. I sat down and watched Wrestlemania.
I have to say, I wasn't impressed. The second time around, with no wrestling fanatics or alcohol or other surroundings to affect my judgement, I found myself fast-forwarding through much of it.
Why? Why did this Wrestlemania lack that magic which has been prevalent at wrestling's number one show?
I personally think that the answer varies from match to match. The Hardcore title match which started things off seemed no better than your average Raw hardcore match, and the mix of Billy Gunn, Hardcore Holly (whom I love, by the way), and Al Snow was little more than uninspiring. I think that switching around the respective titles of Gunn and Jesse James was a mistake. Anyhow, the match was good, but not excellent, and certainly not Wrestlemania.
Moving ahead to the intercontinental title match, that particular four-way didn't exactly make me jump out of my seat. I confess that Ken Shamrock is starting to grow on me, and I usually like the Road Dog, but Goldust and Val Venis don't do much for me. Easily the two best wrestlers of the four, but they're pretty boring. And I don't even want to get into the ridiculousness of the four-way elimination match. It doesn't make any sense. This match was a dud by WM's standards, too.
The lady's championship match was a joke. Get those models out of there and give us some female wrestlers.
Mankind was injured, so I'll let this one slide, but Mick Foley and Paul Wight are capable of better. Again, this was a strong match, but nothing spectacular.
Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett lost some of my fan support in their match against the unexciting duo of Test and D-Lo. There was the chance for a really exciting and innovative tag team to emerge here, and maybe even rob the champs of their straps, but now I'm starting to think that WWF and their southern neighbours have something in common with their tag divisions.
Perhaps the only truly interesting segments in the show came out of the DX matches, HHH versus Kane and X-Pac versus Shane McMahon. Chyna's turn back to Hunter Hearst Helmsley but her double turn and his turn back to the heel side was a refreshing change of pace for the night. There could be some interesting developments following this angle, but - and I forget who said this - it's a shame that the WWF didn't capitalize on Helmsley's old identity, with his bow and music and fancy patronizing talk, to earn him some heel heat. Of course, X-Pac will forever be the underdog, won't he? I guess that's how you get the little guy a pop. Shane McMahon winning a title match at Wrestlemania, though? That seems kind of out of place.
There isn't much to say about the main event that you probably haven't already thought. It was a well-threaded piece of work, with great mic work from the Heartbreak Kid and Vince McMahon to lead us off, and a solid effort from both competitors. The match was the kind of thing that puts WCW main events to shame with its continuity and was for almost two years able to keep the WWF promotion afloat. But it lacked something. A certain je-ne-sais-quoi. Last year, the match was very similar - a heel who didn't fight his own battles dropping the title to the emerging and then re-emerging Stone Cold Steve Austin. This year, though, I didn't buy it. Shawn Michaels has put on some of the most electrifying matches in sports entertainment history, and I guess the Rock has done his share, too. I think I know what it is. Remember when Austin and the Rock were feuding over the Intercontinental title? Come on, I know you remember this. The Rock stealing the belt and then Austin winning it back and throwing it over a bridge? That stuff was hilarious - but the matches were squashes, and I guess I just didn't buy Austin/Rock as a main event, not with this build-up. I thought Michaels had a chance last year, or at least that he'd get help from Iron Mike or DX. The Corporation can't do anything right, and the only boxer on hand was kicking the keister of the now-burried Bart Gunn.
Maybe I'm reading too much into this, being too hard on Wrestlemania XV. Maybe it's always like this, and the atmosphere while you watch it is what makes it so great. I don't know, and I won't pretend that I do. The funny thing is, though, that I think I enjoyed watching the Raw after Wrestlemania more than watching Wrestlemania that second time on Friday. Hardly a classic, eh? Maybe by luring us in with their tried-and-true combination of interviews and short matches, the WWF has weaned us off the pure stuff, the classic stuff. And now I just don't crave it as much? Who knows? Do you?

*Hi, I want to make a point, but first I wanted to say I love your column! I've been reading it since it was at www.wrestlemaniacs.com and other sites. Now to my point: Am I the only person who loves the Corporation!?!?!? I mean, look at their lineup. Vince MacMahon, the biggest genius of a promoter and all-around best heel ever. Ken Shamrock, a solid (and pretty funny when he is mad) wrestler. Test, who looks very promising. Big Bossman, a tried-and-true veteran heel with good mic skills. HHH, who is going to main event status with Chyna at his side. The Stooges, who, well, the Stooges. Shane MacMahon w/the Greenwich Posse, a great angle in addition to Shane starting to look better and better as a competitor. And last but NOT least, the most ELECTRIFYING MAN in SPORTS ENTERtainMENT HIStorrRrrrYYYYY, the Rock. He has charisma coming out the you-know what, and GREAT mat skills to back up the (hilarious) big mouth of his. I think they each of them compliment the other perfectly. Any combination of them can add up to memorable interviews and classic confrontations.*
You know, you're right. I am starting to like the Coporation. Not so hot at the beginning, but it grew on me. Kind of the opposite of the cool-concept-turned-sour we call the nWo, eh?
Anna Valleser, email@example.com, writes:
*I used to watch WCW as much as the WWF. About a year ago I completely abandoned WCW because I often found myself being bored and annoyed by the fights. WWF has always been interesting, in or out of the ring. I don't think anyone can really argue that. Recently WCW has been going more into the "soap opera" thing that WWF has had going for a while. But I find it only makes it even more annoying! Most of the "dramas" we "just happen to catch" backstage don't really make any sense. Most of the time it has absolutely nothing to do with anything at all, in or out of the ring. So what if the NWO are having leadership issues? What does that have to do with what is happening, or going to happen, in the ring? Is there going to be an NWO Royal Rumble to determine who is going to be the leader? Is Hogan going to step in? Considering the egos that are in the NWO why would anyone WANT to be the leader? At least with the WWF we can take a pretty good guess what's going to happen.*
*Sigh* I gotta tell ya, my first instinct is, I don't care. You're right, I watch the WWF first and foremost (I still watch Nitro though) because it's entertaining, and above all, it makes sense. You know those papers you wrote in high school, the ones which seemed good when you put pen to paper or fingers to keyboard, but which got a C- anyway with some pretty negative feedback? That's WCW. And remember that guy who just couldn't write a bad essay, who just knew how to put his thoughts together so well that it didn't matter what he said, it was how he said it? That's not WCW.
Michael Arnett, firstname.lastname@example.com, writes:
*How about that Fake Goldberg chant at the ACC? As soon as they stopped the tape, chants of "Goldberg sucks" filled the arena.*
That's because Goldberg does suck. I thought it was funny, too. I wonder if you'd get some "GILL-BERG" chants in a WWF arena after you turned off the fake "GILL-BERG" chants?
Have a great week, everyone. Thanks for writing, thanks for reading, I'll see you all in five short days.

Marina Benjamin: writing the story of the Jews of Baghdad
'My name is Marina Benjamin and I wrote most of my last book, The Last Days in Babylon, at the British Library.
I was here almost every day from morning until evening and it was a very pleasant place to write. It's cleaner than my office, it has many more books than my office and, should you want company, you can find it in the café and I had access to this marvellous wealth of material that I cannot imagine being able to access anywhere else.'

I took a .psd file (made by my coworker) and redesigned it. The problem is: he organized his layers so badly...made unecessary clones.
The design is a landing page for a website, now I want to send it to my webdeveloper but he's a linux guy.
So on gimp he can't work on my .psd so well because of color formats. He asked me to cut all the images and turn them to .png
Hence I needed to run File> Script > Export Layers to files once that done I got too many similar .png as you can see (consequences of bad layers organization?)
Is that bad ? Do I need to delete unwanted/similar images to make my web dev work easier?
Last thing I saw that -in the export layers to files panel properties- transparency and trim boxes was checked and I set it to PNG24
Is it the right thing to do?
That would be up to your web dev's needs, I guess. Since these apper to be a background image for the whole page, removing the redundant ones would only be logical.

Dead Island Day One Patch and Other Updates
So, everyone should have read our totally zombie awesome review of Dead Island by now. (If you haven't..I'll wait..) Done? Good. Our completely awesome, non-zombie, friends over at Deep Silver have sent us some info to keep all Banoi bound fans ahead of the curve on any of the changes that dropped with the Day One update and a few other notes on release day in general.
First, the correct version of Dead Island is now available on Steam and can be downloaded. Some folks might have noticed some craziness in regards to Steam yesterday, hopefully no more issues should be present and you can go about your zombie killing in peace. Second, note that this change with Steam/update may cause incompatibilities between the incorrect version of Dead Island that was released on Steam and the fixed version and cause a wipe on saved games. (Yeah, that sucks a big one if you already got underway. Though Deep Silver assures us here at ZKG that they, "tried every avenue possible in order to avoid fans having to wipe their saved games.") However, Deep Silver does have a solution to help regain some quest progress for those of you that suffered from this: When the game opens: 1.) Select New Game 2.) Select the same character as you were using before 3.) Select the option for "Chapter Select". It's not perfect, but it's an option people. Finally, Deep Silver does plan to announce a "make up" to fans who were affected by the Steam Day One issues, stay tuned in coming days as ZKG will update everyone once we hear from Deep Silver.
Dead Island Day One Patch Notes:

Quest bugs removed:

As I mentioned in my review, there were glitches in the game, however a lot of these could be fixed with patches and here you are! Seriously, take advantage of the island of Banoi and explore. There is a lot of content to take in and plenty of zombies who need to have their limbs removed as quickly as possible. And if that wasn't enough for you, Deep Silver informs us that the first DLC, "Bloodbath" is currently still on track and more details are coming soon. Stay tuned ZKG survivors of the Banoi zombie take over…

iPhone Lens Systems and Fostex Audio Recorder
Hey there,
I'm discovering all kinds of hardware add-ons for the iPhone. There are specialty lenses like the iPro system from Schneider Optics. This looks pretty darn awesome I must say. Two lenses, wide-angle and a fisheye. They are not yet available for sale but should be by mid October. Ok are you ready for the price? $199, Hey now, that's serious cash!!
Another lens kit is the olloclip. This kit includes 3 lenses, wide-angle, macro & fisheye. This kit is much more affordable at $69.95 and you get an extra lens compared to the iPro system. I wonder if the optics can compare to the iPro?
Photojojo also has a system of lenses for the iPhone. All 3 lenses are only $49.00.
All these 3 lens systems may be a question of you get what you pay for and it depends what you want. I like the idea of adding optical options to the iPhone. I'll wait and see some reviews when the iPro system comes out and perhaps I can convince my wife that one of these systems would make a wonderful Christmas gift ;-)
And well I'm kinda lusting over this audio recorder by Fostex. The idea of using my iPhone to record high quality audio is really great. It's officially on my wish list.
I've been thinking of the popular audio recorders like the Zoom products and other similar models. B & H have a good buyer's guide here. You see my other big passion, besides photography, is music. I've played drums for a long time and although not as seriously as I used to, I still get together with friends regularly to jam, write and record music. My idea is to use the AR-4i to record audio of jam sessions so we can later go back and listen. Many of my friends have home studios and I also have a basic home studio set up (older pro tools system) but that is more for serious recording. You have to set up all the mics, cables, open a session, get the levels etc… but if I want something quick to capture an idea and still get good quality I think this may be it. It's available as a pre-order at B & H Photo for $149.99.
On another note I ordered the iRig from the Apple store. It's basically a cable adapter that allows you to go from a 1/4″ cable to the iPhone. It's $39.99 so not too expensive compared to other solutions I've seen, but very expensive when you consider it's basically a cable adapter that probably costs $5.00 to make including the packaging!! Anyway moving on… With this I'll be able to plug my guitar directly into the iPhone and get much better recording audio compared to using the iPhone mic. My cousin (who is a great guitarist) has one and he's really happy with it. There is also a free app from AmpliTube that I'll try.
All this iPhone photography/recording stuff is just awesome and lots of fun.
Thanks for reading, Patrick

Interview: Q. Please tell us about the inspiration for your current release.
My inspiration for LOVE GONE MAD occurred one day when a 6 year old girl said to me in the presence of her mother, "You remind me of my Dad." I replied, "Well, you're a great kid and I almost wish you were my kid." "You would have to marry my Mom," she said. While her mother blushed and we all laughed, I began thinking the What If question. I wondered, What if a married man and the father of a little girl began to believe his daughter was really not his own, that she was fathered by another man. And What If he began thinking this was completely the case, and began suspecting his wife of having had an affair. And What If… led to a series of other questions, and twists and turns…and it all became Love Gone Mad, a love story and an intensely suspenseful thriller.
Q. How did writing this book affect you?
Writing this book affected me deeply by confirming in my own mind the belief that if you give yourself and your imagination free rein, you will always have new ideas. I think every writer is afraid he or she will run out of ideas, and the way this novel began forming in my mind and changed as I went along writing it, confirmed for me that the creative process is always at the ready and it's mysterious.
Q. What is the hardest part of writing for you?
The hardest part of writing for me is getting over the initial blockade of thinking an idea won't go anywhere once I start conceptualizing it. But then, by bouncing it back and forth (even after I've begun outlining or writing) the idea grows and matures into something. but until that really happens with a novel, it's hard to keep going with it.
Q. What would you say is your most interesting writing quirk?
I don't know if I have any interesting writing quirks. I write every single day…even if it's only for 15 minutes (because other obligations may arise) and I find the most productive time for me is early in the morning, usually beginning at about 5:00 AM.
Q. Do you plan any subsequent books?
I plan many subsequent books. In fact, I'm just finishing up Mad Dog Justice, the sequel to Mad Dog House. After that comes Assassin's Lullaby, another romantic thriller with what I know will be a mind-boggling twist of an ending.
Q. What are you currently reading?
I'm now re-reading Barry Eisler's first John Rain Novel called 'A Clean Kill in Tokyo'.
Q. Please tell us your latest news (book-related or not!).
Lately, I've been very busy with radio shows, TV appearances, and with my Huffington Post blogging activities. It's a real joyride.
Q. Please tell us a fun-fact about yourself!
A fun fact: I love sitting on my living room couch, reading a good contemporary novel (crime or otherwise) and having my dog Jenny Belle on the couch with me, while her huge brother, Hank Williams, is on the other side. They would never let me turn pages, so I have a Kindle and use my thumb to get to the next page.
Q. Do you have anything specific that you want to say to your readers?
I say to my readers that the greatest feeling I can think of—one I think every writer truly craves—is to provide readers with a solid novel that absorbs, entertains, and may provide some deeper insight into the workings of the human mind.

I drew the sketch from the card I posted last week for the Card Concept challenge. I loved the way it flowed and thought it would be fun to give it another go. For today's card I pulled out a bag of pre-stamped items that never made it onto cards and decided to play only with scraps.
The bees from The Buzz had already been embossed in gold on so saffron and cut with the coordinating The Buzz Die Set. The honeycomb in the background had been stamped in delightful dijon on the same color paper and also cut with The Buzz Die Set. I love the what's the buzz sentiment and embossed it on a scrap of woodgrain paper, then decided it totally needed some coffee.
Thanks so much for stopping by today!

6 First date icebreakers that work every time
Some people can breeze through first dates without a sweat. They never experience a weird silent pause in between conversation and actually consider the prospect of meeting a new person in an unfamiliar environment exciting and stimulating. They're the types who like dating apps and probably consider the worst first date an opportunity to make a new friend. These folks are magical unicorns.
For the rest of us, first dates are the purest form of torture known to man. There you are, sitting across the table from a stranger, hoping you stumble upon at least one topic that you share in common. You make a joke — they don't get it. Your date discusses their job for 45 minutes — you stifle a yawn. Sound familiar?
More: 7 Underrated winter date ideas that will cost you nothing
Of course, first dates don't have to be bad — they can actually be really enjoyable if you would only stop putting so much pressure on yourself to find the perfect soul mate and lifelong connection. No matter how sparkling a conversationalist you are, it helps to have first date icebreakers in mind before you meet with your future spouse/good friend/person-you'll-kiss-and-never-see-again. Relationship expert April Masini at Ask April provides six amazing first date icebreaker tips that will help you kiss bad first dates goodbye forever.
1. Bring a prop
No, not like a sword or light saber (though to each her own) but think: an interesting book you're reading or a souvenir you picked up on your recent trip to Thailand. "A prop is a great icebreaker, because it alleviates the pressure to be a great conversationalist," Masini says. "For instance, if you know his birthday, cut out the horoscope from the local paper, for both of you, and bring them to dinner to read to each other. This is a fun way to break the ice and get the conversation going."

2. Plan a date around a common interest
Anyone can have dinner together, but unless you're both seriously into a specific type of cuisine that will spark conversation, you may want to plan a date that incorporates your shared interests. "For instance, if you're dog lovers, take your dogs for a walk in the park as a date," Masini says. "Talking about your dogs is a great way to cultivate a common interest and a jumping off point for other conversations."
3. Cook together
Instead of sitting next to one another at a restaurant and waiting with bated breath for the waiter to arrive with your plates, Masini suggests making dinner together as a great way to break the ice. "You can do the shopping together as part of the date, then go to one of your homes to prepare the meal," she says. "Choose something you can both participate in cooking — duck à l'orange may be too complicated to co-cook — but a Bolognese sauce with pasta isn't." Taking a cooking class could be a safe alternative if you've never met and don't want to invite a stranger into your home.

4. Take a class that does half of the work for you
Young children learn about others and the world around them through parallel play, and the same concept can work wonders on a first date — plus, it puts the pressure off of you. Masini recommends going to a painting class or a ceramics studio as a date so that you can do something separately in a parallel play model. "You'll have the event to do together — whether it's painting, sculpting or painting ceramics — and you can talk about what you're doing as you're doing it," She says. "Some of these classes will make some wine and snacks available, which smoothes the rough edges of a bumpy first date."
5. Group events
There's safety in numbers and feeling the presence of other friendly couples might make you feel more at ease on a first date. "A restaurant like Benihana where you're seated with 10 or so others at a restaurant where you enjoy the chef making all your food at once, can be a lot of fun — especially if you're seated with other couples, both new and established," Masini says. "Not only does it break the ice between you, but you're perceived as a couple by others you might chat with at the table, and that reinforces the date dynamic between you."
6. Active dates
Forgo static dates like dinner or coffee meet-ups for those that will force you both to move around, expend energy, laugh and discuss what you're doing. Masini says shopping trips work because you can chat about what you're seeing, looking for and buying — and you get the advantage of getting to know each other's taste, as well as how they handle money. If you're sporty, try ice skating, shooting hoops or even organizing a baseball game with a few friends.

Our own Jason Hiland had a chance to sit down with the developers of the new Cleveland RTX-3 wedge and find out a little more about their new club.
Hurricane Golf: Can you describe the improvements you have made in the new RTX 3 Wedge Series compared to the RTX 2.0 Wedges and the concept behind these changes?
Cleveland Golf:
1. Feel Balancing™ Technology
This patent-pending technology shifts the center of gravity closer to the center of the wedge face – the impact zone – to decrease vibration and maximize head stability at impact. By adding a microcavity shortening the hosel, 9 grams of mass are optimally redistributed in the head for a more centered CG location. This improves feel and tightens shot dispersion, giving you maximum control.
As to the concept behind these changes: We benchmarked the wedge market to understand where competitors were locating their CGs. We saw an opportunity to make a potential improvement to traditional wedge performance. We tested prototype concepts to quantify the improved performance. This testing validated that shifting the CG closer to the center of the scorelines improve both feel and dispersion, two key technologies in the wedge market.
2. V-Shaped Sole Grinds
Three tour-proven grinds feature a V shape with more leading edge bounce to help get the club head through the turf faster at impact. This promotes crisper feel and more consistent head speed for increased spin and control.
Comparing RTX-3 to 588 RTX 2.0 with Cleveland Golf's proprietary turf interaction software shows 23% better speed retention. Since the sole moves through the turf more quickly, there is less turf that comes up onto the face at impact, meaning improved contact for better friction and more spin.
For the concepts behind these changes: Working with our tour players and department, we always talk about ways to get more bounce into our wedges while still making the most versatile wedges. After extensive tour testing and validation with the V sole geometry, we have been able to finalize our most versatile and forgiving sole yet with the V-Shaped sole grinds.
3. Rotex 3 Face
Three innovations combine to maximize spin with more consistency. New Tour Zip Grooves have a deeper, narrower U shape with a sharp edge radius in all lofts to enhance contact across a wide variety of conditions. The advanced, 2-pass micro milling pattern increases friction and is directionally enhanced by loft: low lofts (46°-52°) have a straighter pattern to accommodate full shots and high lofts (54°-64°) have a more angled pattern to optimize open-face shots. Laser Milling precisely roughens the face surface to the conforming limit.
Concept behind these changes: We are constantly working to improve spin through new face technologies. Our philosophy is to improve spin from wet, rough playing condition where it is the hardest to generate. For the RTX-3 Face, we took it one step further and focused on improving full shot spin from the rough with the PW and GW lofts and pitch and chip shot spin from the rough with the SW and LW.
HG: What will the average golfer and scratch golfers gain in performance by using the nee RTX 3 Wedge Series over the previous generation?
CG: Average and scratch golfers will get improved feel from Feel Balancing technology, improve versatility, forgiveness, and feel from the V-Shaped Sole Grinds, and increase spin and control from the RTX-3 Face.
The average golfer will also benefit more than a scratch golfer with the improved dispersion from the Feel Balancing technology. Feel Balancing technology improves ball speed across the face which will help players who don't always hit the sweet spot, hit their mishits closer to the hole.
HG: What did you tour staff bring to the table in the development of this new series and how did you take their ideas and feedback and incorporate those ideas into the RTX 3?
CG: We worked closer than ever with our tour players throughout the research and development phase of the RTX-3 wedge line. Our tour players are the most critical and particular players in the world, and if we can get them to buy in and use our products we know we did something right.
We take tour player feedback on every aspect of the wedge design. For the RTX-3, the v-shaped sole grinds were the most critical aspects of the research and they were developed through extensive tour testing and iteration. It is critical to get the bounce angle and sole with perfect, when dealing with the precise short games of the best players in the world. Feel Balancing testing was another critical step in the feedback. When you introduce a new technology, such as Feel Balancing, you need to ensure that the new technology does not change another aspect of performance that our tour players are looking for. Also, with the Feel Balancing technology we had to shorten the hosel. This forced us to work closely with the tour team to get the shape right after making such a drastic initial change. Finally, we always validate our spin performance with our players.
Basically, this wedge was driven by tour testing and feedback. We worked closer than ever with our tour players, which is why we were able to make our best performing wedge ever.
HG: What finishes will be available in this new series and how Cleveland go about the process to pick those finishes? As a follow up what do the different finishes do to help golfers?
CG: Traditional silver finish with a modern edge. The Tour Satin finish features a matte sheen to help reduce glare at address.
Our most popular wedge finish, the Black Satin is now improved to last significantly longer than past versions and black finishes from select leading competitors.
A favorite of PGA Tour pros in recent decades, this finish will rust over time for a distinctive feel and cosmetic appearance.
HG: What is the stock shaft in the RTX 3 and what process did your team use to find the best fit for this new series?
The stock shaft is a True Temper Dynamic Gold wedge flex.
When choosing a stock shaft, we look at both performance and brand value/ recognition. The Dynamic Gold wedge flex tested the best for performance rating high in feel while producing high, consistent spin rates on all types of shots. The Dynamic Gold model is the most recognized shaft option in the world and is also the leading shaft played in wedges on tour.

nudity reviews for Shawn Ashmore member submitted
Bully Humiliation
Shawn plays the bully of the film who picks on the poor wolf-girl. But he has his comeuppence when she follows his scent to his house and catches him wearing only a towel posing in front of a mirror. He lets his towel drop to expose what can only be called a micropenis. You would have to use a Zoom feature to even get a good look. Its nothing but a head nestled in his pubic hair. Hopefully this was a prostetic. The scene is very disturbing, yet humiliating for Shawn, which is good for humiliaiton fetishists. Later on in the movie we get another gruesome look at his miniscule wang. The wolfgirl has killed him and left his pants around his ankles, which his friends find his corpse and muse wheter his weenie was bitten off. But discover that was the whole thing to begin with. Just goes to show, bullies should be careful in movies, they might get exposed for what they really are.
This made-for-TV movie, which was called "Wolf Girl" when it aired in the U.S., but was released with this title on DVD in Canada, is a rather strange little flick. I've been a fan of Shawn's since spotting him as the cute boy eyeing Anna Paquin in X-Men. In the scene in question, Shawn runs down the steps in his house alone, covered in only a blue towel. He's got a decent upper body, and his face is so cute. But the nudity - I'm warning - is not the kind you'd want to see. His towel drops and Shawn stares at himself in a nearby mirror. Using what are obviously special effects, we see his absolutely miniscule penis. It's so small that you can't possibly get off on it. Disturbed is more like it. The point of this film - everyone can be a "freak" in the most surprising places - made sense here. But still, did we have to see the little penis shot. Kudos to Shawn for his bravery for agreeing to play this character is so utterly humiliated by the camera effect in this film. The only good thing about this scene, in terms of nudity and Mr. Ashmore, is perhaps he'll feel compelled to one day do a REAL frontal nude scene and prove that, you know, this movie was just an illusion. He really is hung like a horse (I hope.)

Catherine O'Hara and Eugene Levy on Their Onscreen Romances and More Than 40 Years of Comedy Together
As told from the Bloomingdale's pots and pans section.
There's a scene in Best in Show where Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara's married characters' credit cards are declined and they have to spend the night in a hotel's custodial closet. In Levy and O'Hara's new show, Schitt's Creek, they find themselves in similar bind, albeit of the richer, more Canadian variety. Creek, which was co-created by Eugene and his son Dan Levy, who also co-stars, follows a wealthy family who has to upend their lives to a small town after losing all their possessions. It premieres Wednesday night on the POP TV -- formerly the TV Guide Network -- after a successful run on the CBC in Canada, and it was recently picked up for a second season. Vulture talked to Levy and O'Hara by phone about their 40-plus years of performing together and their many onscreen romances leading up to now. Though the phone cut out multiple times, they remained very charming.
Are you both in the same city at the moment?
Catherine O'Hara: I'm in Bloomingdale's, in line to get a cup of tea.
Eugene Levy: We're both in the same city, in different places, staying at the wonderful Waldorf Astoria in downtown New York City. Or is it uptown New York City?
Depends on where you are, perhaps.
EL: A-ha. Yes. It's freezing rain here today.
CO: Lovely, really.
Do either of you remember the first time you performed together?
CO: Well, I was a waitress and I would watch Eugene onstage and dream of being up there with him. And then I auditioned for the Second City company and John Candy hired me, God bless him, and then I got to understudy Gilda Radner. That was 1974?
EL: Yes, 1974. The Toronto company of Second City and the Chicago company had switched for a month, they went up to Toronto and we went down to Chicago, and that's when Catherine came into the show and replaced Gilda, who went on to do National Lampoon, I think. The first time you replaced Gilda I can barely remember, but when we got back to Toronto and started our next show, the images of scenes became clearer. "A woman is a body, not a brain." Remember that one?
CO: Oh, sheesh. Yeah.
EL: We did a musical number called "A Woman Is a Body Not a Brain."
CO: We allowed that?
EL: Right. I think it was funny because it was kind of a tongue-in-cheek thing. It was actually pro-women's lib at the time because it made the men look really, really stupid. I do know that Catherine slipped in seamlessly when she replaced Gilda in the show.
CO: I was just imitating Gilda, I'm sure.
Was Best in Show the first time you played a couple onscreen?
CO: I think so, yeah.
EL: Yes. A fun couple.
I always think about Catherine's walk from the end of that movie. It's one of the best physical bits I can remember, when she sprains her ankle and hobbles across the stage.
CO: Honestly, I had been waiting my whole life to use that walk. My dad used to do that walk. We have seven kids in our family, and every one has a version of that. Some of them were actually PO'd I got to do it in the movie.
EL: When Catherine showed us that walk, Chris Guest and I, we died. We thought: What a gift this is.
It's not often you have a special walk in your family that fits into a scene so perfectly.
CO: I hadn't showed it to Eugene and [Christopher Guest] until the night before we shot the scene. They said, "You have to hurt yourself in the scene and you might have to walk with a limp." And I said, "Well, can I walk like this?"
EL: And as soon as we saw it, we died. It's tough to make a sprained ankle funny. How do you make a limp funny or credible without it seeming like you're acting having a limp? And when we saw this wobbly leg thing, we just died.
Eugene, was Catherine who you immediately had in mind for her role in Schitt's Creek?
EL: No, we went through every actress in the Screen Actors Guild, and then somebody reminded me, "Oh, Catherine …"
CO: [Laughs.]
EL: She was our first choice. yes. She's always our first choice. On Waiting for Guffman, she was the first name that came up in our little troupe. Both of us. "Who do you want to bring in?" "Catherine." Always. For this the question was, would she want to do it? Would she commit to a TV series?
Did it take some convincing?
CO: Eugene and Dan [Levy, Eugene's son] had written a 15-minute pilot presentation and I said, "Well, I don't really want to do a series right now." And they said, "Oh, that's okay, just come do this one part."
EL: I have to credit Daniel, because usually this whole process takes multiple years. And Catherine had initially said, "No, I don't want to make that commitment," so when the show got picked up, we started to look for somebody else. And just as the call was going through to other actresses, Daniel called back and said, "Do you want to try Catherine again?" And I said, "I don't think she wants to do it." And he said, "Well, why don't you just call her? Double check." And then she did the pilot.
CO: Let's not act like it's some big coup. It's not a coup.
Eugene, what was it like working with your son on this show?
[Eugene cuts out.]
CO: Oh no! I thought it was me because I'm in Bloomingdale's.
Just walking around?
CO: I'm on the sixth floor, and there's a café. Actually, I'm sitting in the pots and pans section.
[Eugene comes back.]
EL: I must have been talking for five minutes before I realized the line was dead.
CO: I bet it was interesting and funny.
Do you remember what you said?
EL: I have no idea. But working with my son, I'll just say it was wonderful. It went from me working with my son on a fun project to me working with a partner on a project that had some real merit. It's kind of surreal, actually.
Catherine, was there any hesitancy working with a father/son duo? You never know how that kind of dynamic will play out on a set.
CO: Right, you really don't know what you're getting into. I actually hadn't thought about it too much until I was on my way to go shoot. I was like, Oh, wow, I hope Daniel's good. And I hope they like working together. But they're great together. Daniel is a great writer and actor and has great taste. It's a great relief for me.
EL: And a great relief for me.
CO: [Laughs.]
Schitt's Creek is very scripted, while you guys have predominantly improvised together onscreen in the past. Was it tempting to slip back into that improv rhythm while you were shooting?
CO: If you have a great script and great dialogue, you don't need to improvise. There was definitely the freedom to do that, but in this case, you know you have a great script.
EL: We were lucky in that even though this show is scripted, we have a great cast that make it sound like it actually isn't. It echoes the sensibility of the movies that Chris [Guest] and I made.
Why do you think you keep reappearing in different projects as couples? Is there a particular rapport you two have that lends itself to that?
CO: I don't think we think of it that way. It wasn't that way in SCTV or at Second City, but then we did play a couple in Chris's movies.
EL: Yes, in A Mighty Wind and Best in Show. There was a lot of exposure with those two movies, and in A Mighty Wind it was funny, but the relationship had a very strong emotional underpinning as well. So I guess people walked away from that movie thinking, Oh, this is a great pair. I love it when these people pair up together.
CO: [Laughs.]
EL: It's also the Second City sensibility we share. Everyone who comes out of Second City shares this … It's not so much a style, it's what you're trained to do when you're there, and you know this is the kind of humor you love, and this is what you want to incorporate into your work. Catherine and I approach the work in the same way.
CO: Whoa! Did you hear that? Someone's dropping pots.
EL: What?
Catherine's in the pots and pans section of Bloomingdale's at the moment.
CO: Wow, that was very loud.

Civilian Deaths in Afghanistan Present U.S. With Strategic Problem
Friday, May 8, 2009
KABUL, May 7 -- The deaths of more than two dozen civilians in fighting this week in western Afghanistan highlight a problem for senior U.S. officials who want to apologize quickly for any American mistakes while also arguing that the Taliban is the main cause of suffering in the country.
"We regret any -- even one -- Afghan civilian casualty and will make whatever amends are necessary," Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates told reporters Thursday during a visit to Kabul, the capital. A day earlier, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, Army Gen. David D. McKiernan, had said there may be another explanation for the civilian deaths in Farah province aside from U.S. airstrikes.
Gates declined to speculate on what might have caused the deaths until a joint U.S.-Afghan team investigating the incident completes its initial report. Afghan officials have charged that errant U.S. airstrikes caused the deaths, and the International Committee of the Red Cross has also attributed the deaths to U.S. strikes.
The truth of what happened in Farah may be less important than what the Afghan people believe took place in the remote western region. Gates said that a cornerstone of the Taliban campaign is to blame civilian deaths on U.S. troops. And he suggested that the best way to counter the enemy's strategy would be to reduce civilian casualties throughout the country. "Even if the Taliban create these casualties or exploit them, we need to figure out a way to minimize them and hopefully make them go away," he said.
The difficulty of the civilian casualty issue was evident in Farah, where anti-American protests erupted Thursday. The Associated Press reported that Afghan police wounded one demonstrator.
One way that the United States is seeking to reduce civilian deaths is by pushing American troops into Afghan cities and villages so that they live among the people who they are supposed to be protecting. The heavier U.S. presence should reduce the need for the controversial airstrikes. The higher troop levels also could lead to an increase in violence and U.S. deaths in the near term.
Casualties among American, international and Afghan security forces are up about 75 percent this year, Gates said. But Afghan civilian casualties have fallen about 40 percent over the same period, he said.
"What is critical for the success of the Afghan government and for us is that the people believe we are here to protect them and not to hurt them," Gates said. "And so whenever civilian casualties occur it tends to undermine that point."

GED Test To Get Significant Revision in 2014
Tuesday, April 17, 2012 | 05:55am
Changes Affect Format, Content, and Cost of Exam
NASHVILLE – The Tennessee Department of Labor & Workforce Development's Adult Education Division is preparing for major changes to the General Educational Development (GED®) test to take effect in 2014.
"We encourage eligible Tennesseans who have not earned their GED to do so now," said Commissioner Karla Davis. "Beginning January 1, 2014, the GED test will cost more, must be taken on a computer, and will contain significant content changes."
The GED test is undergoing its biggest overhaul since the credentialing test began in 1942. The revised test will measure knowledge and core skills that more closely reflect Common Core State Standards, which is the body of information young people are expected to learn in school and need for success in college and the workforce.
Standards go up for the test to remain a valid option to identify skills demanded by employers and postsecondary schools. The 2014 test will be more rigorous in general and requires higher level math proficiency. As before, the new GED test covers subject areas – writing, reading, science, social studies, and math.
"The quality of the labor force is one of the most important factors that employers look at when they think about locating in a state, specifically, the education of the people who make up the labor force and their ability to deliver on the job," said Marva Doremus, Labor and Workforce Development Administrator for Adult Education. "An educated workforce is critical to our future as a state. The only way we can grow Tennessee's economy is with the right workers. Last year, 56.6% of those issued a GED credential in Tennessee were between the ages of 17 and 25. These individuals have 50 years to be in the workforce. We need to move them forward into postsecondary or other job training programs."
Commissioner Davis added, "New jobs are not being created for those without a high school education. Unemployment rates are inversely related to the level of education a person has achieved. The more education a person has, the less likely he is to be unemployed. The same is true of income – the income differences between a person who does not have a high school diploma or GED and a person who does are striking."
Other important points:
• People who have not passed all parts of the current GED test before the end of the current GED test series, i.e., by December 31, 2013, will have to start over when the 2014 edition begins.
• Presently the fee for taking the GED averages $65. When the GED test becomes computer-based in 2014, the fee will be a minimum of $120.
Last year 12,047 Tennesseans earned GEDs. Tennessee still has 900,000 to one million adults without a high school diploma. Almost 29,000 students dropped out of high school in 2011.
To help existing GED Test Centers transition from the old paper-based testing format to computer-based testing, Tennessee is offering three pilot programs for people to take the current GED test before the launch of the new 2014 series. Test Centers at UT-Martin, Tennessee State University, and Walters State Community College are taking part in the pilot program. The fee to take the test at one of the pilot centers is $120.

"Tess" is an exemplification of all the horrors of malignant destiny. By nature its heroine is incarnate goodness: every fibre of her being is pure; and yet, under the stress of circumstances, the compulsion of force and the beguilement of fraud, partly through ignorance, partly through delirium and desperation, she is harassed, degraded, despoiled, plunged into misery, goaded to the insane commission of homicide, and finally is hanged for murder.
accustomed to many eyes.
And as each and all of them were warmed without by the sun, so each had a private little sun for her soul to bask in; some dream, some affection, some hobby, at least some remote and distant hope which, though perhaps starving to nothing, still lived on, as hopes will. They were all cheerful, and many of them merry.
They came round by The Pure Drop Inn, and were turning out of the high road to pass through a wicket-gate into the meadows, when one of the women said--
"The Load-a-Lord! Why, Tess Durbeyfield, if there isn't thy father riding hwome in a carriage!"
A young member of the band turned her head at the exclamation. She was a fine and handsome girl--not handsomer than some others, possibly--but her mobile peony mouth and large innocent eyes added eloquence to colour and shape. She wore a red ribbon in her hair, and was the only one of the white company who could boast of such a pronounced adornment. As she looked round Durbeyfield was seen moving alon
I kept delaying to finish this book because I was reading all the reviews about it being depressing and a bad ending, but finally I pushed myself to finish the book and I am so glad I did. I actually think the ending is so beautiful. Hardy created such a good, unselfish soul in this woman she sacrificed her life for others till the end, her pride and (I can do it myself) independence got in the way of getting the help she needed but I can relate to who she was. And I have great respect and honor for the incredible woman she was. Hardy also showed how when we lack self-worth we think negatively which avalanches to bad choices.
I'm a gent of little culture and worldly knowledge of certain classics. So I was going to read this book without any knowledge of its ending, but thanks to this synopsis/worst spoiler in history, I'm going to give it a miss.
I understand that the prose can still be enjoyable whilst knowing she hangs, but it kind of pissed me of a tad that I unwittingly stumbled across the knowledge that she dies.
Like I said I'm a man that still has many great books to read and maybe this knowledge of her death is well known to many people who en-devour to read it.
But for those of us who live in a dark misty cloud of the undiscovered, give us a chance to stumble on it ourselves via the book. Ta.
As moving a book as can be. After digesting the plot, and how Hardy's incredible blending of the scene's to the plot, one can still think long about what the story meant in 1891 and what it means now. The last chapter was incredibly well crafted. With the whole novel focused on Tess and detailing her actions coping with her hardships and betrayals, she's finally executed. But her demise is less by death than erasure. Days before her death the world around her indifferently moved on. The only public mark Tess left on the her world was a momentarily raised black pennant that waved freely in the breeze as if even it took no notice of Tess's life.
Really great if you like impressively depressing books that are written really well.
Great read. Brings you into the English country side with a interesting point of view.
Beautiful tale though the ending could have been better.Nevertheless an unforgettable saga of love,human tenacity & frailty.

|Annapolis, April 2013
|Saint-Paul-de-l'Ile-aux-Noix, October 2015. Looks familiar?
While installing the radar arch was quite exciting, our biggest achievement over the past week was something much more discrete. After two and half year of unsuccessful troubleshooting: we finally isolated the source of the stray current we were experiencing when the shore power was plugged in. The quest started a few days after we bought Water Music back in April 2013. We were working on the cutlass bearing at the time and kept taking small electrical shocks on the engine shaft.
Since then, I've looked everywhere for the loose ground, the cut wire or the bad connexion. While the search allowed me to discover and fix a lot of other issues with the electrical systems, the initial problem never went away. It wasn't ideal, but as we never plug in at the dock we could live with it. But now, with a failed solar controller and dying batteries, plugging in was not optional anymore. It's getting cold up here and we needed to get the diesel heater going to complete some of the work. Plus, we like it warm and toasty.
So, we connected the shore power and almost immediately, the breaker on the post started to trip. Another complete review of the 110V system was in order. We were getting some strange reading on the AC panel main switches and attributed them to the galvanic isolator. It had been acting suspiciously for a long time and was now indicating it had an internal failure of some sort. For a second we thought we had the culprit. We removed it and… the readings on the voltmeter were exactly has they were before.
As we were about to give up and tear apart all the switches, we went back to the port lazarette, opened up the AC main circuit breaker and found THE disconnected ground wire. I screwed it back in, moved the box a little lower to give it some slack, tested it and… no more stray current! I didn't think it was possible to get this excited over a piece of wire, but believe me it is!
|The AC circuit breaker box looked so neat and recent, we never suspected it.
|See that green wire I'm holding? Probably not, it's so insignificant. But this is it.

Hello Typophiles.
My name is Alvaro Franca, I'm an aspiring type designer and I've been doing some research on newspaper typefaces, their specifics, needs and whatnot and came to wonder a couple of things in regards to what they used to look like and what they look like today.
What we can see today, at least here in the UK, is a tendency towards the more Swift, Guardian, Greta Text kind of face with nearly horizontal arches, shallow crotches, very open apertures, very horizontal hooks on characters like /e/ /c/ that create a certain strong horizontal continuity in blocks of text, wedge-like serifs, little contrast and very little (if at all) calligraphic influence. All the basic needs of newspapers are covered though (saving space, printing in small sizes, and in porous paper). the letterforms have narrower proportions, large x-heights and strong, sturdy details that survive to reduction.
But it used to be that newspapers would print in old style type fonts, and you had a staple in the industry in Times New Roman, which is also somewhat narrow, with sturdy details and a large x-height, but in everything else it is diferent from it's contemporary counterparts: it has quite a bit of contrast, a humanistic kind of construction, bracketed serifs, smooth arches, closed up apertures...
Is this only a matter of style and taste or is there something to gain from a legibility standpoint? Old style forms are tried and true, and the so called "contemporary serif" has been around for thirty odd years and has some threshold in that playing field aswell, I wonder which of the two is more confortable to read in a newspaper, something you ocasionaly have to read under bad light, in public transportation and other such not-so-confortable environments....
I ask because I love Swift to death and wanted your opinion on which of these kinds of faces are more legible at small sizes since I wouldn't trust just my own judgment, being as I am still a novice in these matters.
I don't know if there is any point to the discussion, it's just something that's been on the back of my mind :-)

More defendants go to Oregon State Hospital
SALEM — Officials report a marked increase in the number of criminal defendants ordered to the Oregon State Hospital, calling it an expensive trend that can't continue.
The number in the hospital rose from 88 in 2010 to 151 last month, Superintendent Greg Roberts told legislators Thursday. Two-thirds of the people admitted to the hospital last year were such defendants, he said.
"This trend is unsustainable," he said. "We just don't have the ability to do that, but that's what's been happening over the last few years."
Judges send criminal defendants to the hospital when they're found to be unable to assist in their cases, The Oregonian reported.
Treating them so they can assist runs to nearly $250,000 a year, according to hospital statistics.
The hospital can keep such patients for up to three years, or the maximum sentence that could have been imposed if the defendant were found guilty, whichever is shorter.
Roberts said part of the problem is a shortage of community mental health programs.
Oregon also is in the middle of a four-year agreement with the federal Justice Department, which has found the state lags far behind in providing adequate community mental health programs as alternatives to institutions.
Lawmakers are in Salem for committee hearings and informational briefings, and said they would revisit the question in the fall.
In the meantime, some said they were surprised that people facing minor misdemeanor charges could be sent to the hospital.
Sixty percent of the patients sent by judges faced felony charges, and 40 percent faced misdemeanors, Roberts said.
Those can include charges such as public urination.
"Public urination?" asked a dismayed Rep. Carolyn Tomei of Milwaukie, the committee's chairwoman.

Facebook may increasingly be on the receiving end of criticism related to its stance on privacy, but the world's largest social network is still one of the top places to reach consumers online.
With more than 400m registered users globally, Facebook is the world's largest social network, and publishers looking to stay connected with their users and acquire new users have plenty of Facebook tools at their disposal to do just that. Here are seven of them.
Facebook Connect
Facebook Connect is a group of APIs that permit publishers to access Facebook data and interacting with key Facebook features. It is commonly used to allow users to log into a site using a Facebook account.
Best used for: reducing registration/login friction, allowing users to associate their Facebook profiles with their profiles on your service, allowing interactions on your site to generate Facebook updates.
Example: Disqus commenting system.
Facebook Platform
Facebook's core platform enables publishers to build applications that live on Facebook. While the most popular Facebook applications are social games like Farmville and Mafia Wars, publishers can also build applications that facilitate user interactions directly from within Facebook.
Best used for: building branded experiences through applications.
Example: TripAdvisor's Cities I've Visited application.
Facebook Pages
Facebook Pages are, put simply, Facebook profiles designed specifically for businesses, products and well-known individuals. Facebook Pages look like normal profile pages, but also offer additional features, including analytics.
Best used for: providing a central 'hub' for your 'fans' on Facebook, pushing updates and content on Facebook.
Example: New York Times Facebook Page.
Facebook Share
Adding Facebook Share buttons to a website allows users who are also registered on Facebook to share content they like with Facebook.
Best used for: enabling user-based content sharing/promotion.
Example: CNET News.com.
Social Plugins/Widgets
Facebook offers a collection of plugins, or widgets, that make it easy for publishers to embed certain Facebook content on their own websites. For instance, the Facebook Like Box widget displays information about the publisher's Facebook Page (fan count, recent fans, etc.) and offers a link so that Facebook users viewing the widget can become 'like' it with just a few clicks.
Best for: promoting and highlighting your Facebook Page and content on your own website.
Example: ABCNews.com.
Open Graph
Photo credit: Yelp
Facebook's Open Graph API is the social network's latest attempt at making the web more social, and making sure that Facebook functionality and data is the foundation. It gives publishers the ability to integrate Facebook's data and features into their websites to create Facebook-driven experiences at a level never before possible, even if it has sparked serious security and privacy concerns.
Best used for: facilitating deep cross-site user interactions that take advantage of Facebook data.
Example: Yelp.
Facebook Ads
Facebook's self-serve advertising platform offers publishers a way to publicize a website or Facebook presence through paid advertising.
Best used for: paid, targeted promotion.
Example: Zynga/Farmville.
Picking the Right Tools
As with every platform, publishers should think strategically when thinking about if and where Facebook fits into a broader strategy. Facebook may harbor a massive audience of consumers, but because just about everyone is competing to reach them, standing out is often very difficult.
Comments (3)
Very good list. I especially like Facebook Friend Connect and the Trip Advisor apps.
Thanks for the addresses. I have another tip if you upload pictures to Facebook. It is called click.to! Check it out!
Além disso, não é possível para os indivíduos para passar o pace em academias
e clubes de saúde por causa de seus compromissos profissionais.
Então, é a sua preferência em adiante lugar para obter uma solução claro e conveniente que
é benevolente o suficiente para cumprir o seu desígnio sem
afetar suas programações. Em tais condições, nada poderia ser melhor do
que Fort Max Diet.

USB ports and connectors are ubiquitous on digital devices these days, and a good selection of USB adapters allows you to seamlessly connect your favorite USB-based peripherals to devices that don't have any or enough ports. While most USB connectors have the standard type A or type B on one side, more and more devices — especially printers — are utilizing micro USB cables. Instead of buying new cables, you can use these low-cost USB adapters to get the job done without breaking the bank. We have USB to VGA, USB to Centronics, USB to DB9 adapters and much more in this overflowing assortment.
To convert your USB type A to type B and vise-versa, we've got a range of adapters for the jobs. This will allow you to connect your host to any USB type B or type B port. We also have USB type A to Centronics adapters, which allow your PC to print most parallel printers connected through a USB port super easily. Use a USB to female serial adapter to connect serial devices to a USB port, or a USB to DB9 female adapter if you want to add great features such as plug-and-play or hot swap functionality.
We also carry many handy USB accessories in this variety, including USB couplers to extend your USB cable and USB to PS/2 keyboard adapters that let you convert your USB mouse to work with a PS/2 keyboard port, which works well for older keyboards. Other options include USB keystone inserts that allow you to conveniently add a USB port to wall plugs. No matter the connection or application for your needs, CableWholesale has a USB solution to address it. Plus, many of our products come backed by generous warranties to ensure that they stay in the game for the long-term.

Oh dear Agent Carter, oh dear. It seems like several baby steps forward and then one giant leap backwards is what is happening this series. This episode was bad. In fact it was the worst episode the show has had yet. It was Agents of SHIELD series one bad. While there has been past episodes of the show that have not worked for me on a subjective level, those episodes were still solid to some degree. This episode did not even have that. It was beyond padded out, with plots that were not really going anywhere. In fact the plot was pretty simple: Whitney tries to steal a bomb and Peggy steals it first. Whenever the plot of the episode can be boiled down into one sentence then something has gone fundamentally wrong. There was so much that they could have been skipped, so many plot points the episode thought we cared about and was so utterly wrong. I suspect this episode was made just because they were one short.
Once again we see Agent Carter's persistent problem with trying to make us laugh when the plot really needs to be advanced. This has never been more obvious than the interactions between Rose and Samberly. Bringing Samberly into this episode seems like a bit of a mistake, since he was not doing anything that any of the other characters could have done, or even just some random SSR agent. I had forgotten that he had even existed in the show or that we had seen him before, that's how forgettable he was. The show trying to play him as somebody wanting attention and having some fascination for Rose, which came from nowhere and I suspect will go nowhere, fell flat on its face as it is a bit difficult to have a character thrown on you and just have him act in such a weird way. Unless we see more of Samberly in future episodes, this plot was just being used for laughs and I don't think I laughed once in their interactions at all. All it did was saddle the team with another character that needed development rather than a nameless agent who would have filled the same niche and it failed to develop him at all.
Another problem with this episode (and it seems like this show in general) is that it is struggling to find a role for Jarvis. While in series one where the focus was on Peggy proving herself, having him be a comic relief and foil for Peggy was sufficient. Now that she is an Agent in her own right, Jarvis needs something to do other than bumble around and be British. In this episode we literally had to have Peggy pull Jarvis along, and then contrive a situation where he has to disarm a nuke. Sadly, we don't get why he is doing any of this. In series one he was trying to exonerate Howard Stark, in this series he is just along because… Well, because he is bored. That's lazy writing and is wasted on a good character like Jarvis who played an excellent role in series one. Having him be the advisor and friend to Peggy is no longer enough and we need to see more from our beloved butler.
When the episode stopped stuffing itself with useless characters there were some good moments. The confrontation between Whitney and Peggy was great. It was really interesting to see these two people observing each other, openly recognising the danger the other posed and battling each other. In series one we did not get that until the final episode. Here, we are seeing it and we are not even halfway through the show. We were able to see the threat Whitney has – that beyond just observing people she seems to have super strength as well and is a genuine threat to Peggy – so much so that Peggy actually had to run from this fight, which she has not had to do with an adversary yet. It is good that this episode sets this up.
I also really liked the character of Joseph Manfredi. It seems that the Maggia are going to be involved this series. He seemed like an interesting character, with a dangerous side, exemplified by him beating a subordinate and then casually going back to have a conversation with Whitney. Adding him into the mix seems like a dangerous addition and I am interested to see how this plays out. He did not seem like an over the top character, just someone who knew how most situations worked and was able to find a way to be on top. He was not some Godfather-esque stereotype, just a reserved businessman who was able to make a deal. That was good for a character like him.
Another aspect of the episode that was actually funny was Peggy repeatedly zapping that Roxxon guy with the neurolyser (I know it was called a memory inhibiter but it does basically the same thing). Having her look for the key and him continually coming to and hitting on her was an example of good humour because it did not stop the plot. Peggy needed the key, she needed him there, and out of the way, so she kept having to zap him until she got what she wanted. That was an example of the type of comedy the show should do and lamentably failed to do more of in this episode.

IInky garnet in color, this powerful wine reveals aromas of pure black cassis, followed by cocoa powder, crushed rocks and a savory umami aroma of grilled herbs. Plentiful fine-grained tannins with a dark chocolate texture and a lengthy full-bodied finish express an age-worthy wine. Still in its youth, decanting is recommended one hour prior to serving.
