NBC Claims 'Technical Problems' Led To Justin Bieber Video Clip Not Being Aired On 'AGT'
Are you satisfied by NBC's apology? The TV network responded Thursday to the massive controversy it started Wednesday night when the night's episode of "America's Got Talent" failed to include a promised clip of Justin Bieber's new music video for the song "As Long As You Love Me."
The failure to broadcast a one-minute clip of the newest hit Biebs song caused what can only be described as a Twitter uproar late Wednesday after thousands of Beliebers tuned in to watch "AGT" only to be let down when the show snubbed Bieber.
NBC took heat on Twitter for the remainder of Wednesday night and much of early Thursday morning from many of Bieber's more than 25 million followers, many of whom threatened to boycott the station and oddly requested the network "die" for the cardinal sin of dissing their musical idol.
But at about 9 a.m., NBC decided to respond to the dust-up, and tweeted an apology and explanation out via the official "America's Got Talent" Twitter account:
"Apologies #AGT fans & @justinbieber, technical problems for#AsLongAsYouLoveMeVideo premiere," the network tweeted.
But it appears that either the whole hubbub over the issue is already over, or that the damage had already been done and that Bieber's fans were not happy with NBC's after-the-fact explanation.
Case in point: less than one thousand people retweeted the NBC apology, while nearly 32,000 people retweeted Bieber's message asking why the clip had not been shown. Here's that Bieber tweet:
"very frustrated. where was it? no joking here," he tweeted to his hordes of followers after the show ended Wednesday.
He then followed that post two minutes later up with one aimed at NBC: "@nbcagt not cool. what happened?" But he deleted that post from his Twitter feed within a couple of hours of sending it out.
The response to NBC's apology has been a universally-unimpressed one, as only five people even responded to it within the first seven hours after it was sent out, all with negative comments, such as this tweet by @AdelaideBieber:
"@nbcagt @justinbieber that doesn't make up for us not seeing the sneak peek lol."
It will be interesting to see how the network recovers to the controversy. Maybe they will show the whole video next week? Or do a whole Bieber episode? Time will tell.
After NBC failed to show the "As Long As You Love Me" video clip, Bieber's tweets questioning the oversight by NBC -- like all of his posts -- immediately garnered thousands of favorites and retweets from Beliebers, who also took toTwitter to express their anger over being snubbed by "AGT," which many of them likely only watched in order to view the clip of Justin Bieber's new music video.
For instance, @BieberMarriedMe, who seems to be a huge Bieber fan, tweeted the following Wednesday night: "@justinbieber @nbcagt D***.They used us. :'( im so sad. i was like so fricken happy and then nothing happened. :( im sooo sad."
And it appears that all the anger is being directed at NBC and "America's Got Talent," not Bieber, who maintains via Twitter that he was expecting the video to be played Wednesday night.
Take this tweet by @BiebsOnlyMine, who professed her continuing love for the singer despite the "AGT" snafu: "@justinbieber We are VERY angry... It's not your fault Justin :)) We still love u no matter what..."
The buzz about the video clip began late Tuesday evening, when Justin Bieber first let people know via his mega-popular Twitter account, that part of the video was scheduled to be aired Wednesday night on NBC's "America's Got Talent."
"yep...It is CONFIRMED! Going to give you the begginning of the #AsLongAsYouLoveMeVideo tomorrow on @nbcagt !!! GET READY," the pop star tweeted.
Bieber then sent another tweet out at around 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, teasing his fans with the news that they would be able to see a sneak peak of the video if they tune into "America's Got Talent" later that night:
"anyone excited to see a clip from the #AsLongAsYouLoveMeVideo (trend this) tonight on America's Got Talent? yes...Michael Madsen is in it," the Biebs wrote.
Beliebers around the world did the bidding of their idol, and soon enough the hashtag #AsLongAsYouLoveMeVideo was a huge trending topic on Twitter in a number of international locations.
As if that were not enough to get the buzz about the new Justin Bieber music video, the official "America's Got Talent" Twitter account retweeted his post to its more than 94,000 followers.
And, no joke, Bieber went ahead and retweeted AGT's retweet. That's a lot of people receiving the same tweet about one part of one new music video by one young, ultra-popular singer.
Do you accept NBC's apology?

In An Artist's Studio: Poetry Analysis Poetry Workshop: The Poem
When I was a university freshman (long ago, when mastodons bellowed to each other across primeval swamps), a professor of mine once remarked that people are often afraid of poetry because they haven't really been taught how to read it. This makes sense to me; unlike the Victorians, we are not bombarded with popular periodicals and annuals containing classic and contemporary poems. We are not taught to recite poetry at school, and rarely do we read it in any great depth. But I don't want people to be scared of poetry anymore. I want people to love it! And if they can't love it, then at least I want folks to be able to face it down.
So in order to be part of the solution rather than part of the problem, I'm going to experiment with a 'Poetry Workshop', in which I will closely analyse a Pre-Raphaelite poem.
A poem will be posted, and then we will turn our attention to literary technique, historical context, and anything else that strikes my fancy. This will be very similar to what I do in the classroom, but it will be available to everyone in the (relatively) democratic space that is the internet. You'll be getting professional, university level advice on how to read a poem. In return, I hope you'll leave plenty of comments telling me what you find most helpful, what you'd like more of, and whether you agree or disagree with my interpretation. Passionate opinions are positively encouraged here!
In honour of Christina Rossetti's upcoming birthday on 5th December, the inaugural poem will be one of my favourites: 'In An Artist's Studio'.
I haven't posted the analysis yet because I want you to take your time just READING the poem and thinking about it. Fight the impulse to tear anxiously through the poem; this is not a race. Poetry requires slow reading, savouring and chewing over in order for you to receive its full benefits. Think of a poem as a three course meal rather than a Power Bar.
Please visit again for the analysis, which will be posted soon.
In An Artist's Studio
(by Christina Rossetti)
One face looks out from all his canvasses,
One selfsame figure sits or walks or leans;
We found her hidden just behind those screens,
That mirror gave back all her loveliness.
A queen in opal or in ruby dress,
A nameless girl in freshest summer greens,
A saint, an angel; – every canvass means
The same one meaning, neither more nor less.
He feeds upon her face by day and night,
And she with true kind eyes looks back on him
Fair as the moon and joyful as the light:
Not wan with waiting, not with sorrow dim;
Not as she is, but was when hope shone bright;
Not as she is, but as she fills his dream.
Yay! I've been meaning to read Christina Rossetti for some time, but haven't had the courage mainly because I don't know where to start. When I read poems, I usually analyse them, I don't just read them like a novel, which can be hard to a newcomer. Btw I enjoyed your Rossettis in Wonderland. Will you be writing anything on Christina specifically?
Caroline responded at 10:57pm on 05/12/2012
Hello Caroline,
I'm so delighted to hear you enjoyed my book. Thank you so much for letting me know!
I do plan on writing more on Christina Rossetti. I've got an academic essay coming out soon about Rossetti and Algernon Charles Swinburne.
But you remind me that it's been a while since I've posted on Christina on this blog. Will have a think!

December is just around the corner and we only have two more classes. And that is going to be the end of my student life.
My mother used to say that I should definitely go to university not because that it would give me enough knowledge nor a chance to get a nice job, but because the days I could spend as a university student would be the best time in my life. Now, I am really grateful that I could have one year and a half extra student life in England.
In the final stage of the MA course, we are far too busy and stressed with works to enjoy the rest of the days. The end always comes too quickly.

The electric scooters have the following features making the journey wonderful. First, the motorized scooter is tiny which can be stored in the car trunk. Second, the scooter can reach the highest speed more than 12 kilometers and that speed can be agreeable to cover all distance needing walking in the interesting places. When the traveler does not want view this spot, then he can spin the scooter to the next one or look for a landscape he's interested in. Hence, the traveler can admire more interesting places for plenty of time has been saved.
For different lazy travelers, they have their choices about scooters. Since the handiest yet smallest scooter in the volume is not the perfect choice for everyone. Then the two-wheeled electric scooter also could be sound choices for those lazy travelers don't want take too much time to learn the riding or they are lacking of good physical coordinate ability. Another model of scooter is the most effortless one which is mounted with a seat. In the meanwhile, the seat's height is adjustable according to each rider's height. That scooter allows the rider to sit to ride making the traveler have a relaxed mood without any fatigue except for eyes.
Traveling with scooter can be much more fun than without any outfits to replace walking. Spinning on the electric scooter to appreciate scenery is a good way in the trip. It's an agreeable means to enjoy landscapes in the scenic spots. Lazy travellers come to try a new way of trip.

Houses And Termites
All of us would like to live in our house in a comfortable manner. It would be our place of tranquility and there would be nowhere else we'd rather be. Your house could be the only place on earth that gives you the homely feeling that you always seek for. Therefore it should be understood that the house that you live in should always be kept in such a way that it would fit your preferences. Various individuals take various steps in order to make their houses in the way that they want. After the house is finished with construction, there still would be certain maintenance matters that one should attend to in order to keep the house in an ideal state. When attending to these maintenance matters, it would sometimes be clear to one that there are certain issues within the house that would need addressing. The presence of termites in the house would be one such problem.When a house has a termite problem, it could cause many adverse results. There would be many health concerns that would arise due to the presence of these termites and there would also be serious threats to the structure and the furniture within the house. If these matters are not attended to in a proper way, the problems may rise in magnitude and many critical conditions could be caused. Therefore it would be best for anyone to conduct termite control treatments in one's house regularly. In order to do this, a proper firm should be selected. After selecting the firm, it would be a matter of letting them proceed with their treatments and also following their consultation afterwards.A pest control should be conducted when you move in to a new house as well. As it is a new location, you would not know of the issues that the new house would have. By taking such measures, it would be possible for you to ensure that the house you are living in would be free of pests and termites that would cause much trouble to you. There are many types of control treatments that one could undergo and it would be best to follow the recommendation of the experts in the field when proceeding with such matters.
Your house may have a problem with termites. But if you know the steps to take, and the service providers that would provide you an ideal service, you would not have to overly worry. However, it should be known that termite problems are not problems that should be tolerated for long as they could result in many adverse conditions.

Embroidered Canvas Art
By Liz of Love Grows Wild for I Heart Nap Time.
As a young girl, I remember watching my grandmother sew all the time. Plastic canvas creations, embroidered artwork… she even made the dress I wore to my first dance in middle school! The first time she taught me how to sew was on a small piece of plastic canvas that I stitched my name into, and I'll never forget those memories with her. While I'm sure I'll never be as talented with a needle and thread as she was, I've managed to create some fun things for my home with those skills she taught me, including today's Embroidered Canvas Art!
I wanted to come up with some possible artwork for an office makeover that's in the works, and the words "choose joy" seemed so fitting. It's such a simple sentiment that I try to remind myself of everyday. Ignore the bad, let go of the stress, and CHOOSE joy!
I found a way to create a raised, 3-dimensional look that jumps right off the canvas, and the bright colored embroidered letters really make a big statement! I think you're going to love this fun spin on word art!
- blank canvas
- pencil
- rope or cord
- hot glue gun and glue
- embroidery floss
- needle
I found it easiest to do this project without the canvas frame in the way. To remove it, I just flipped the canvas over, removed the staples, and pulled out the frame.
I started by lightly drawing my letters onto the canvas with a pencil. Then I took my roll of rope trim and placed it over each letter, securing it to the canvas with hot glue as I went. Since I chose to use a cursive font, in each place where the lines crossed, I cut the trim and started a new section instead of doubling the thickness in those places.
Once I had all the letters covered, I started stitching over the trim with my embroidery floss, hiding the trim underneath the thread. This part does take some time and patience, so I would recommend choosing shorter words/phrases and stretching your sewing time out over a few days.
Even though this project does take a bit of time, the gorgeous dimension of the final product is something really special! See how the letters just jump right off the canvas?
I wasn't sure about this teal color at first, but wow, is it beautiful. The bright, bold letters and hand-sewn details make this artwork truly special!
I hope you enjoyed this easy DIY artwork idea today! For more project inspiration, head on over to Love Grows Wild and browse our Project Gallery anytime! Here's one of my most recent projects, a $20 Gallery Wall for my living room and a DIY Wood Pallet Arrow:
Have a beautiful day! xoxo Liz

Where did you find the rope you used? I can't find anything similar that doesn't cost an arm and a leg
Walmart in the camping section. Rolls of the cord for about $3.00. The cord is usually green or brown but you can probably find white somewhere. Color doesn't matter anyhow as you're covering it with the embroidery thread (which can be found at the dollar store!).
This is wonderful.I will definitely try this.http://tinygoldengirl.com/
How did you put the canvas back together? I tried stapling and it wont work am I doing something wrong?
It is ok if I were to use normal thread instead of embroidery floss?

Children in home-based day-care watching more TV, study says
Tuesday, November 24, 2009
Children who attend home-based day-care programs are watching twice as much television per day as was previously thought, according to a study released online Monday and published in the December issue of Pediatrics.
In a survey of 168 child-care programs in four states, researchers found that toddlers, ages 1 to 3, in home-based day-care centers watched an average of 1.6 hours of television there each day, including videos and DVDs. Preschool-age children, 3 to 5 years old, watched 2.4 hours a day in home-based centers.
Prior studies have estimated that preschool-age children watch one to three hours of television a day. But those relied on reports from parents about children's habits at home and did not count the time they spent in front of the television during day care, underestimating the total TV time by up to 100 percent, researchers said.
"I hope that this is a wake-up call," said Dimitri Christakis of the Seattle Children's Research Institute, the study's lead author. "President Obama famously asked parents to turn off their children's television sets, and you might ask day-care providers to do the same thing, since watching television is not part of what early-childhood education should be."
Studies have linked television-watching in young children to obesity, aggression, cognitive delays and decreased attention spans. The American Academy of Pediatrics discourages television-watching for children under 2 and recommends that older children watch no more than two hours of television a day.
The research, funded by a University of Washington endowment and the first in 20 years to examine television-watching in day care, suggests wide variations among programs. Children in center-based programs, which are not in homes, spent 1.8 fewer hours in front of a screen than their peers in home-based programs, the study said. And home-based programs whose staff members had either a two- or four-year college degree were associated with 1.4 fewer hours of television a day than home-based programs whose staff lacked college degrees.
Center-based day-care programs might rely less on television than home-based providers because they generally have lower child-to-adult ratios, Christakis said, and their employees tend to be more highly educated.
Christakis urged parents to cut down on screen time at home and to ask prospective day-care providers about television use.
In Maryland, parents can use a free counseling service to help find and choose a licensed child-care provider. But rarely do they ask about television, said Jennifer Williams of the Maryland Family Network, which runs the Locate: Child Care service.
"Parents have so many other urgent questions that it really doesn't come up," she said.
In Virginia, licensed home-based day-care programs are required to use television "with discretion and not as a substitute for planned activities," according to state regulations. Of the more than 3,500 inspections this year, only 10 have yielded citations for noncompliance with the rule.
"When you walk in and see 'Judge Judy,' we would consider that noncompliant," said Debbie Beirne, a children's health and safety consultant with the Virginia Department of Social Services. "If it were on showing 'Sesame Street,' and the children were watching and engaged in it, that would be appropriate."
Christakis said states should consider tightening licensing requirements. No matter how educational the program, he said, television-watching displaces components of high-quality child care, including outdoor playtime and opportunities to interact with peers and teachers.
" 'Sesame Street' is a good show, and there are other good shows," Christakis said. "But 'Sesame Street' was never intended to replace human interaction."

Houston, TX–The Children's Defense Fund - Texas and AMERIGROUP Community Care have partnered to expand the 100% Campaign into the Alief Independent School District.
CDF's 100% Campaign identifies uninsured children and actively works with parents to enroll eligible children in health coverage through the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) and Children's Medicaid. Texas has the highest rate of uninsured children in the nation, with 1.5 million children lacking health coverage. About half of uninsured children in Texas are currently eligible for CHIP or Medicaid, which covers doctor visits, dental and vision services, prescriptions, and other important benefits.
The campaign identifies uninsured students through school enrollment forms which now include a question about the medical insurance status of each student. Parents and other guardians whose students are identified as uninsured are then contacted by 100% Campaign staff to receive help and information about applying for children's health coverage through CHIP, Medicaid or alternative healthcare resources.
During a pilot project in the Houston Independent School District, the 100% Campaign identified 17,000 uninsured children during its first 10 months of operation. The campaign has been hailed a national best practice by the American Association of School Administrators, which is distributing information to superintendents across the country.
Barbara Best, the Texas executive director of the Children's Defense Fund, said, "We are eager to expand the 100% Campaign to Harris County school districts. The 100% Campaign provides a systematic way of identifying uninsured children and linking them with health coverage. With the expansion of this successful campaign into Alief ISD, we are on the way to enrolling every eligible Harris County child in health coverage."
Aurora Mitchell, CEO of AMERIGROUP in Houston, is proud to collaborate with Children's Defense Fund as they expand this campaign to Alief Independent School District. "AMERIGROUP's mission is to improve the lives of underserved Americans and as such, we are excited to collaborate with the Children's Defense Fund and to support their programs to decrease the number of children who do not have healthcare coverage," said Mitchell.
Alief Independent School District Superintendent Dr. Louis Stoerner said that the campaign would help to improve the health and education of students. "Enrolling uninsured children in health coverage will improve the learning and achievement of students because fewer kids will miss school due to illness or lack of healthcare. This is a winwin proposition for students and for our district as a whole."
CHIP and Medicaid provide low-cost or no-cost health coverage to uninsured children in low to moderate income families. For example, a family of four may qualify if they earn less than $44,100 this year. Families pay no more than $50 a year in premiums to cover all their children and benefits include regular check‐ups, immunizations, hospitalization, surgery, x‐rays, prescription drugs, dental, vision and mental health services.
To apply for CHIP or Medicaid, please call toll‐free 1‐877‐KIDS‐NOW or download an application from the internet at www.chipmedicaid.org.

Are you looking to get more leads? Looking to grow your business? Looking to reach more people?
Whether you have been active on BiggerPockets for years or are just starting out, this guide is going to help you figure out the best ways to interact on our site to make the biggest difference for your business.
BiggerPockets is home to more than 1,100,000 members… and tens of millions of unique visitors have passed through the site each year looking for information relating to real estate. With such a large, targeted audience, BiggerPockets can help grow your business and establish your company as the "go-to" source in your niche.
However, as you'll find in any tight-knit community, there is a culture at BiggerPockets and an ethical code that all members must abide by to be welcomed into the community and to become trusted. This guide will help you learn that culture and the best way to interact so you can start building your business with BiggerPockets.
Why BiggerPockets?
BiggerPockets can dramatically change your business.
Whether your business needs to find leads, customers, or deals – BiggerPockets can be the catalyst you need. The members on our site who interact on a daily basis find an almost never-ending supply of leads for their businesses. Don't take our word for it; check out these testimonials:
"Just from sharing my knowledge on the forums with the expectation of nothing in return I have connected with many people who are now my clients… I have closed deals by just being a part of BiggerPockets and the income made from those connections has been substantial (let's just say over 6 figures and counting.)" – BiggerPockets Member Joel Owens
"My website has seen a tremendous increase in traffic since I've been participating on BP… I've been contacted by people from other countries that have seen my blog posts, and come to my website through BP." – BiggerPockets Member Karen Margrave
"In addition to simply the great source of leads coming to our MobileHome investing site, I have also noticed that BP readers tend to stay on our website for over 7:00 minutes on average, longer than most other sources. In addition to simply gaining exposure to my website BP has also allowed me to connect with some great local investors in my area and around the country that have become my very good friends." – BiggerPockets Member John Fedro
The fact is: millions of dollars of business are being done on BP every month. We want you to be a part of that, but there is a culture that needs to be understood. Keep reading to learn more about that culture…
The BiggerPockets Culture : Say No to the 5 "S" Words
BiggerPockets was founded over 8 years ago to fill a void.
The real estate industry, like many industries that involve making money, is plagued with those who insist that answers must be paid for – and paid for dearly. BiggerPockets was created upon the idea that investors and vendors could get together to have open, free conversations to help grow together without being up-sold or pitched. The entirety of the BiggerPockets culture revolves around this idea.
To be more specific – there are five major types of interactions that BiggerPockets does not accept in the normal course of business on BP. This is known as the "Five S words" which are:
- No Sales
- No Sleaze
- No Self-Promotion
- No Spam
- No Solicitation
If you simply follow the guidelines and stay away from the "5 S Words" on the platform, you'll be accepted at BiggerPockets (Except for pitches or solicitations made ONLY in the Marketplace, which we'll get to in the next section.)
For example:
- Do not mention the article you just published on your website in the midst of a discussion (self-promotion.)
- Do not leave a comment about an eBook you are selling when answering a question on a topic (Salesy.)
- Do not offer someone your coaching program via the Private Message system (Solicitation.)
- Do not tell someone they can make money by following your multi level marketing program (Spam/Sleaze.)
The Right Way to Interact
So what should you do?
Provide value freely and openly and let the customer come to you. When a question is asked in the forums, simply answer it and do so by providing complete details! While only one person asked the question, potentially thousands of others will come to see the thread and will see your answer, building your brand and helping others recognize you as an authority. Authority on BiggerPockets is built through repeated interaction and by giving helpful responses. It isn't a "one-and-done" thing; reputation is built from helpful interactions on a consistent basis.
Setting Up Your Profiles To Attract Leads
As a social network, your profile is your portal to connect with other members on the site. If you engage on the site, people will check out your profile – both your personal and business profile – to learn more about you. This is your opportunity to showcase yourself and what you do! A fully filled out profile showcasing your abilities is imperative to your success on BiggerPockets. Here are a few tips for using your profile to attract leads and get your name out there.
Setting Up Your Personal Profile
Another belief BiggerPockets holds close to is that relationships are built through personal interactions and not business-to-person interactions.
For example, an individual can talk to a representative to a company, but they can't talk to the company itself – that doesn't make sense. As such, we do not allow company profile accounts to comment in the forums, but only individuals who work (or own) those companies. This is also why we do not allow your personal "avatar" (picture) to be your company logo. BiggerPockets does have business profiles, which we'll talk about soon. We'll also explore how you can use these profiles to grow your business.But first, let's talk a little more about your Personal Profile.
Your "Profile" is your area to talk about yourself, your business, and anything you want people to take notice of. You can include links to your own site on your personal profile as well as any calls-to-action or sales-talk that you'd like. If you are active in the BiggerPockets Forums, you will attract individuals to view your profile – so make your profile count. If you don't have a personal profile, you can set that up here. Also, as mentioned earlier – be sure to include a professional picture of yourself (not your company logo.) A photo of your face will build trust much better than a vague picture taken at a distance. Your personal profile includes 4 sections. Be sure to fill in all sections completely:
About Myself: Use this area to talk about who you are, where you are come from, and what kind of work you do in real estate.
Experience: How long have you been in the business, what kind of deals do you do? How can your business help people?
Real Estate Goals: What do you want to see your business do?
Currently Seeking: Everyone has needs. Perhaps yours is customers, leads, or deals? What are you looking for?
In addition, be sure to fill out your contact information in full, your occupation, your market, and your "deals and holdings." All this information helps to build trust. A fully completed profile is one of the most important ways to start building trust with members. After you have your Personal Profile set up, you will need to set up your Company Profile. Let's talk about how to do that now…
Setting Up Your Company Profile
Your company profile is your company's online home on BiggerPockets. Just as members may check out your personal profile, they will also check out your Company Profile before bringing you any business. For this reason, it is imperative that you set up your business profile to connect with the most people possible. If you don't have a company profile, be sure to set one up after you set up a personal profile (Login to your personal account, then go here)
When setting up your Company Profile, be sure to upload your company logo, which will show up on your personal profile as a secondary image and it will also show below your forum posts, if you have a PRO membership (which we'll get to in a moment.) When setting up your Company Profile, you will be asked for your "Company Slogan or Summary" – this will show up on the top of your company profile. You will have an area to write "About My Company." Just as with the Personal Profile, be sure to be as detailed as you can here, and feel free to point people back to your own personal website using the fields we've got for links. Also, be sure to include your company address, phone numbers, and any other important links that potential partners or customers may want to know about using the pre-designated fields. After setting up your account, you will be able to switch between your business and personal profile by clicking the small avatar picture in the upper right corner of your Dashboard (or any Forum page.) See photo below:
Connecting Your Company Profile to Your Employees Personal Profiles
To connect the Personal Profiles of your employees or partners who are part of the company to your Company Profile, please follow these 4 easy steps:
Step One: Be sure that your employees/partners are also logged into their personal profile.
Step Two: Have them navigate to the front page of your Company Profile. They can find it by searching your company name in the search bar on the top right, and click the "Companies" on the left side of the search results.
Step Three: Have them click the "Join" button in the "People" section and press "Okay" on the confirmation pop-up.
Step Four: You or the administrator of your company profile will login to the site and switch so they are using the Company Profile. Then navigate to manage your requests (You will have a notification.) Simply accept the request to join and you are now linked. If there are requests from people who are unaffiliated with your business, be sure to reject them.
Note: Only Personal Profiles with a "PRO" membership will have the company logo in their forum signatures. The next section will talk about PRO Memberships and how you can use it to further expand your visibility.
PRO Memberships and Why Your Business Needs One
BiggerPockets offers a premium membership for those looking for additional tools to grow their business. Whatever your business is, a PRO account (at $29 per month) and Plus accounts ($9 per month) can help you give your company extra exposure and bring you more leads. This section is going to look at seven benefits to the PRO account. For a more thorough look, be sure to check out BiggerPockets.com/pro
1.) Post Ads, Opportunities and Solicitations in the BiggerPockets Real Estate Marketplace.
The BiggerPockets Marketplace is the only place on our site where posting ads for your haves, wants or needs is acceptable, and only PRO and Plus members can post ads there. The Marketplace gets tens of thousands of views a month and is a great place to promote your deals, business, financing, event, product or service, solicit deals, financing, partners, mentors, conduct market research or promote your website. If you want exposure to any of the above, upgrading to a PRO account is an extremely affordable way to get some great visibility.
2.) Promote Your Brand via Your Enhanced Forum Signature
The BiggerPockets Forums get hundreds of thousands of visits a month. While posting on the forums is a great way to get visibility for you, you can also build your brand by simply engaging in our community. It is simple — just upgrade to a PRO account (not available for Plus) and make sure you've set up a profile for your company in our real estate companies directory. As a PRO, you'll then have the option to set up an enhanced signature which includes your company logo (linked to your company profile) as well as your URL and other important information.
By simply posting and providing value to others in the community by participating in discussions, hundreds to thousands of people will see each post and you'll build up your brand. You'll also gain traffic to your website — some of our active members get thousands of visitors a month from BiggerPockets solely from their participation here. One additional bonus: while the signatures of free users and Plus members are only viewable to other members who are signed in to the site, signatures of PRO members can be seen by both members and visitors alike.
3.) Prospect Warm Leads by Seeing Who is Visiting Your Profile
Building up connections is imperative for success in any venture, and that especially rings true in the real estate business. With that in mind, we put together a feature that is designed to help our members grow their networks, by allowing them to see who is looking at their profiles and blog posts — this feature is only available to our PRO members (not Plus). Imagine the power of knowing who looks you up. All you need to do is follow up with those people to see what their interest is, and you've suddenly prospected a warm lead. While it may not lead to anything, you might also find your next partner, deal, or financing by spending a few minutes each week connecting with these folks.
4.) Follow More of Your Favorite Topics with Keyword Alerts
The most popular feature on BiggerPockets since its launch has been our Keyword Alert System. This system allows our members to set up keywords for terms that are of interest; our members use it to track things like topics they are interested in, cities they live/invest in, keywords that would help them find out about deals or just to network. All members can set up keyword alerts, but there are limits on the number that you can establish – – they are: 5 (free) to 10 (Plus) to 20 (PRO). Only PROs Get Alerted Instantly with SMS Alerts Another bonus for our PRO members only is the ability to receive SMS alerts (text messages). These are fantastic for things like: Setting up 'brand alerts' so you can quickly respond to threads about you or your company. Being the first to respond to ads in our Marketplace — get the inside scoop on deals and opportunities. Helping you quickly respond to topics or other items of interest on the site.
5.) Better Networking with More Colleague Requests
One of the most valuable things about BiggerPockets is the vast network of other real estate investors and professionals that spend their time networking here. While we give all our members the opportunity to connect with others via colleague requests, there is a limit on the number that you can submit at any one time. Those limits increase with a PRO or Plus account, as you can see from the chart below, from 25 (free) to 35 (Plus) to 50 (PRO). Do note that members may not send commercial messages, ads, or any form of solicitation in their colleague requests.
6.) Expand your Ability to Privately Message Other Members
With a free account on the site, you can send private messages to those people who are your colleagues, and can send them one at a time. That said, with a Plus or Pro account, you can also CC multiple recipients (up to 10 at a time). However, do keep in mind that we have a zero tolerance policy for spammers; sending commercial PMs to people you don't know is grounds for removal from the site.
NOTE: Both our PRO and Plus accounts give users the ability to search their inbox; our free users do not have any PM search ability.
7.) Download Important Real Estate Documents and Templates and Store Your Docs Privately
As a PRO member, you can download an unlimited number of files from the BiggerPockets FilePlace, whereas our free (3 /week) and Plus (5 /week) members both have limits set on the number of files that can be downloaded each week. The available files come from our members and are shared to help others with their own templates, agreements, and other documents. Additionally, only our PRO and Plus users can store documents in our FilePlace privately. All uploads from our basic users are shareable and publicly accessible. We can't grow your business for you — all we can do is put together the tools to help you be successful.
The free accounts on BiggerPockets are extremely robust, and are perfect for users interested in learning, interacting, and networking in the real estate investment space. That said, our PRO and Plus accounts are designed to help you take your business to the next level. With a network of 110,000 members and hundreds of thousands of visitors a month, these tools, if used properly, can really boost your business!
8.) Your Forum Signature
Your forum signature is the most common ways a person is going to find out about who you are. Beneath every forum post you make, your signature will include information about who you are and what you do.
As a PRO, you have the option to set up an enhanced signature which includes your company logo (linked to your company profile) as well as a linkable URL and other important information.
If you are looking to attract customers or leads to your website, we highly recommend you set up an enhanced signature via a PRO account so people can easily navigate to your website. Remember, your signature is the best way for people to find your website from the BiggerPockets Forum – so be sure to make yours count.
Business Tip: Do not Include "sales" language in your signature – enhanced or not. The signature is meant to be informative, not salesy. It will be removed.
Adding a Video to Your Profile
On both your personal AND company profile, you can now upload a YouTube or Vimeo video to showcase who you are. This is incredibly helpful in building trust in an online world and we highly recommend you upload a video today.
We would also encourage you not to just upload a promo video, but upload a simple video of YOU talking in front of the camera. People come to your profile to learn more about YOU, so let them see who you are!
To upload a video, you must have a PRO membership on BiggerPockets. Then, simply record the video, upload to YouTube or Vimeo, and enter in the url for the video at https://www.biggerpockets.com/profile/basics next to "Video Introduction."
Using the Forums to Build Your Business
The BiggerPockets Forums are the busiest part of BiggerPockets.com, with hundreds of thousands of unique visitors each month. Being an influential voice on the forums can help you and your business stand out. This section is going to look at the best ways to grow your business using the forums.
Do These Things:
Provide Value – We've mentioned this time and time again, but once more doesn't hurt. The key to building your brand on BiggerPockets is by providing value.
Answer Questions – Do your best to answer questions that you know the answer to. If you don't know the answer, you can at least ask for clarification or tag someone ("@ mention") someone who might know. Click here for info on tagging people with the "@ mention" feature.
Link to Quality Sources – Linking to news articles, blog posts, or web pages are great when it adds to a conversation. Additionally, linking to other BiggerPockets forums posts, articles, or blogs is highly encouraged. However, as we'll cover below, you cannot link to your own content:
Don't Do These Things:
Don't Promote About Yourself in the Forums – People don't ask questions on BiggerPockets to be pitched to. Therefore, we do not allow any mentions of your own company or service directly in a forum thread, unless specifically asked. If someone asks a question – help answer it or don't post. It's that simple. Your forum signature includes your contact information. If you prove yourself as a knowledgeable source, people will contact you via your signature (which is why an Enhanced Signature is so important, through a PRO account.)
Don't Link To Your Stuff – This also means do not link to your website or any site you are affiliated with. We consider any links to your own content as solicitation or spam – so please do not talk about or link to your stuff in the Forums. Solicitation is only allowed in the BiggerPockets Marketplace.
Don't Hide Affiliations – If you work or own a company, one of the fastest ways to get removed from our site is by hiding your affiliation and recommending your company. We see it almost every week someone claiming "I really like xxxxxx company – they are great!" (When they actually own that company.) This is sleazy and not allowed. Just be clear about your affiliations!
The Best Forum Tools for Your Business
Our Forums are the #1 way for you to establish credibility on BiggerPockets. The individuals who consistently answer questions on a certain topics are the individuals who get the most leads and most business from our site. In an effort to make it even easier for you to build your reputation and credibility, there are two features you should be using on a daily basis: the Keyword Alerts and the "Subscribe to Category" feature.
1.) The Keyword Alerts
With over 1,700 new daily posts on the forums, it can be tough to sift through and find the topics that mean the most for you. To help, we created the Keyword Alert System. The Keyword Alert System is a tool that gives you instant notifications whenever a forum thread mentions a word or phrase that you choose. For example – if you are interested in "Flipping Houses", you can set up an alert so you'll instantly know whenever a someone mentions "Flipping Houses" on the BiggerPockets forums. Or if you set up the keyword for "New York" you'll be notified whenever someone mentions New York. You might also want to set up keywords for things like:
- your city name,
- your state name,
- your company name,
- property types,
- investment types,
- investment strategies
- or anything else you can think of.
Why Use the Keyword Alert System?
1.) Increasing Engagement
The Keyword Alert System is great because it helps you engage in the conversations that you want to be a part of. BiggerPockets is about helping you connect and network with other people – and the Keyword Alert System is going to help you do just that.
2.) Find Out First About Deals and Opportunities
One of the most beneficial characteristics of the entire BiggerPockets network is the ability to find deals and opportunities that can help you grow your real estate investing business. By setting keywords that are related to business ventures you want to engage in, you can be notified immediately of those opportunities when they occur.
3.) Share Knowledge
By receiving keyword alerts – you are able to jump into the threads that you feel most knowledgeable about and offer advice. Being a consistent voice in a few specialized areas is going to help you build your brand and your expertise, and the Keyword Alert System is going to help you do so.
4.) Promote Your Business
The Alert System is great for promoting your business also. Let's say you run a business that helps people with self-directed IRAs. If you set up several keywords revolving around the term "Self Directed IRAs" – you can quickly jump into those conversations to offer advice and ideas, which helps establish you and your business leaders in that field. As always- however, BiggerPockets still won't allow spam on the forums. The alert system is going to help you interact and build your credibility – not throw up ads every time someone mentions a related topic.
5.) Find Things to Learn About
You can also monitor topics that you want to know more about. For example – I want to know more about "direct mail" – so I am going to enter that keyword so I am notified each time a forum discussion talks about "direct mail."
6.) Text Message Alerts
If you are a PRO member, you can receive not only email updates, but also instant text message alerts that will let you know when certain topics are discussed on the Forums. This can help you be the first to jump into a thread and be the first voice heard on a thread, further establishing your credibility. Business Tip: Set up keyword alerts for your business name so if someone talks about you or asks questions about your business you can jump into those conversations immediately. Don't let an opportunity to answer questions about your company slip by.
The same applies to your personal name. Many individuals do not know how to properly "@ mention" a user, so you may be discussed in a forum and never know about it! To learn more about how to use the Keyword Alert System, check out this blog post or to set up your alerts right now, go to BiggerPockets.com/alerts
2.) The "Subscribe to Category" Feature
While the Keyword Alerts allow you to jump into individual threads that matter to you, the "Subscribe to Category" feature allows you be notified whenever a new thread is begun in any category that you select. (Watch a video on the Subscribe to Category Feature Here.) Subscribing to a category can be another great way to build your credibility, because you can become the go-to person for a certain subject by consistently answering questions in that forum.
For example, by subscribing to the "Creative Financing Forum", you will receive email notifications whenever anyone starts a new discussion in that forum. What better way to build credibility than being the most heard voice in a forum? Who do you think someone will go to when needing a hard money loan – a stranger or someone who is active in the forums answering questions about Hard Money. As a reminder – do not use the Keyword Alerts or the "Subscribe to Category" feature to talk about yourself or your brand. Again – it's all about adding value. If your your Keyword Alert lets you know that "hard money" is mentioned in a thread, you MAY NOT go into that thread and say "I'm a hard money lender, I can hook you up" or anything like that. If you do this… your post will be removed and you may be banned from BiggerPockets.
Business Tip: Be sure to subscribe to the "New Member Introduction Forum" so you'll be notified whenever a new member introduces themselves to the forum. This is an amazing way to greet new people and establish yourself as one of the leaders in this community. Welcome each person warmly and start building your credibility with that person the moment they join. Taking ten minutes a day to welcome new members may be one of the most efficient ways to build your brand on BiggerPockets.
Using Colleague Requests and Private Messages to Gain Leads
The Colleague and Private Message systems on BiggerPockets allow you to communicate with individuals at a much deeper level. This section is going to discuss the best ways to use those systems to build your business and earn respect.
What is a Colleague?
A Colleague is a 2-way relationship between two individuals on BiggerPockets. In order to establish a colleague relationship, one party must send a "Colleague Request" to another and it must be accepted. Colleagues are able to keep track of the other person and their updates will show up on their Dashboard feed.
What is a Follower?
A follower is a one-way relationship on BiggerPockets. Individuals on BiggerPockets can choose to follow any Personal Profile or Company Profile. The follower will see updates and posts of the person or company they followed.
How Do I Use the Private Message System?
- Only personal profiles can send private messages. This goes back to our foundational belief that people should be interacting, not faceless businesses.
- Don't Solicit in a Colleague Request. Colleague requests are designed to build relationships. Your colleague request should include a message about who you are, but not a request for services or products.
- Only PRO Members Can PM Anyone. If you have just a basic account, you can only send private messages to your followers or colleagues.
- Don't Spam. The Private Message system is a privilege and if you are spamming people with deals or being obnoxious, you will find yourself banned from sending private messages. Don't let that happen.
- The Big Picture: Private messaging is not for advertising. It's for networking. Just remember that and you should be fine!
The BiggerPockets Marketplace
The Marketplace exists to unite people's "Haves and Wants." Everyone has something they need, and everyone has something they want. This Marketplace is the only place on BiggerPockets to bring people together to make those deals work for the benefit of all parties, without infringing on the education side of the forums and blogs.
The Marketplace is the only place for ads or solicitations or self-promotion outside your profile. You can use the Marketplace to do most of the things that we tell you not to do in the regular forum. Go ahead- talk about your company, mention your recent blog post on your site, offer your lending services, or whatever else you want (within reason.)
Keep in mind, current rules prohibit posting ads for the same product or service more frequently than once every five days. Please respect this rule and only post every five days at most. Not only does this help keep the Marketplace more sortable and easy for people to find your posts, it also helps keeps uphold the integrity of your company by not appearing spammy. For more information on the Marketplace, be sure to watch the video below:
"Can I or Can't I?" Frequently Asked Questions

Contributed by Shirley Olson, Mar 04, 2006, last edited Feb 16, 2011 [email@example.com]. Total records = 9.Take Exit # 300 South from the Tom Bradshaw Freeway (Hwy. 440-40) onto Rock Quarry Rd. (SR #2542). Go about 1/4 mile and you will pass Southgate Plaza Shopping Center, cor. Crosslink & Rock Quarry, on your right as you head south. The next right turn after that is Lyndhurst Drive which borders the church property. Parking is available.
This cemetery is located on the grounds of the Macedonia Church, at 2004 Rock Quarry Rd., Raleigh, NC, and it is abandoned and no longer in use. I was not able to find out the history of this cemetery. It may be a family cemetery which was not used for very many years.
I walked this cemetery on Mar 02, 2006, when I compiled the transcription, I compared with the notes of Ann Brosnahan, sometimes verifying a difficult stone to read.- Shirley Olson

Three years after an eastside annexation referendum was soundly defeated with 93 percent opposition, the city of Gainesville has turned its attention west and seeks to annex an 868-acre swath around North Florida Regional Medical Center in a November referendum.
Three years after an eastside annexation referendum was soundly defeated with 93 percent opposition, the city of Gainesville has turned its attention west and seeks to annex an 868-acre swath around North Florida Regional Medical Center in a November referendum.
The city has targeted the portion of voting Precinct 40 in unincorporated Alachua County.
It stretches from the west side of Northwest 55th Street west to Interstate 75 and from Newberry Road north to Northwest 23rd Avenue.
It includes commercial and office development along the north side of Newberry Road — the hospital is already in the city limits — and the residential neighborhoods north of there and south of Northwest 23rd Avenue.
The area has a population of 1,172 and includes about 108 businesses.
In April 2006, this area was included in a larger annexation referendum that failed with more than 71 percent opposition.
This effort has its opponents. The county's firefighter union, the Police Benevolent Association and Sheriff Sadie Darnell have come out against it, citing issues such as the loss of tax base for the county's public safety departments.
Brett Sandlin, the president of the Fire Rescue Professionals of Alachua County, noted that the city and county already have an agreement where the closest available unit responds to a fire call, whether it is in the city limits or unincorporated county.
"Citizens in that area aren't going to gain or lose anything in terms of fire protection because of annexation and they will have to pay a fire assessment," he said.
With Sheriff's Office patrol deputies and Gainesville police officers both among its members, the Fraternal Order of Police voted not to take a stance on annexation, president Jeff McAdams said.
Annexation would mean an increase of a little more than one mill — or $1 for every $1,000 of taxable value — in property taxes along with the addition of the fire assessment and a stormwater fee.
It would mean the elimination of the surcharges tacked onto Gainesville Regional Utilities bills — 10 percent on electric bills, not including fuel charges, and 25 percent on water and wastewater.
A city analysis of the West Hills and University Acres subdivisions, which are in the area eyed for annexation, concluded that the average financial impact would be a $10-per-month increase in costs, and most property owners would pay more to be in the city.
While they have not formed a political action committee, some residents in those areas have organized to oppose the ballot initiative — sending out mailers and fliers, forming canvassing committees and posting signs reading "Vote No Annexation."
City Commissioner Thomas Hawkins has formed a political committee to support the annexation.
It had raised $550 through Sept. 28, including $250 from Commissioner Susan Bottcher and $100 from former Commissioner Jeanna Mastrodicasa.
Hawkins said the committee will send out mailers focused on city services such as the mosquito-spraying program, the plan to hire three additional police officers for that area and its larger staff of code enforcement officers.
Bottcher has said annexation is a way to increase the city's tax base without raising taxes.
The city has a policy to pursue annexations via referendum every year alternating between east and west.
But there has been no push since the 2009 referendum failed.
As part of this year's annexation effort, the city also had sought a referendum for voting Precinct 22 in the northwest area.
When voting precincts were redrawn, the two areas of Precinct 22 in unincorporated county were divided by an area of the precinct already in the city.
Since the Supervisor of Elections Office did not want multiple ballots in one voting precinct, the city's plan now is to hold separate referendums for the portions of Precinct 22 in unincorporated county in spring 2013.
The large portion of Precinct 22 the city is eyeing generally stretches from Northwest 43rd Street to Northwest 63rd Street and from Northwest 23rd Avenue to Northwest 39th Avenue.

The grottoes resulted from an ongoing geological process over thousands of years.
It all began with a series of underground shocks that ripped gapes into the bedrock. Rainwater penetrated the gaping rifts, dissolving them and forming within tunnels and sea caves (grottoes) that relentlessly proceeded to expand because of the intensity of the waves slamming the rock during a storm.
The grottoes are a natural wonder, fascinating in its mystery and breathtakingly beautiful at all hours of the day and throughout the year.
The length of the walking track at the site of the natural grottoes is around 200 meters.
The grottoes are lit up and therefore allow for nighttime visits.
The steepest cable car ride in the world is the main means by which you can approach the mysteries of the grottoes. The ride in each direction takes approximately two minutes. The cable car descends from a height of 70 meters above sea level at a steep angle of 60 degrees. The primordial view of the sea seen from the cable cars during the ride is simply breathtaking! We recommend that you pull out your camera!

wow, it seems that the year is ending already and i sooo wanna do some spring/new yr's/year end cleaning. a sort of a catharsis and exorcism of what had happened this year and years passed.
as some of you know i follow at least three fandoms, there's the scifi fandom
there's my kpop fandom and my makeup hobby
these hobbies and fandoms are what i maintain and with these fandoms i have gained so many new friends. friends that i would like to keep and see for a very long time to come.
i think friends you gain from fandom are less judgemental.
less likely to call you DIE HARD.
will hardly call you jologs. and would merely respect you for the things you are liking at the moment.
of course everyone is different, some fandoms dislike each other just because it seems disliking and judging is easier to do than trying to relate, trying to see what your friend is in to, and most of all disliking and judging is way easier than expanding a mind.
there are so many fandoms out there, even rachel ray has fans and that really loud dude from abc's extreme make over home edition. all i can say is, don't dismiss a person for his or her fandom. we will respect other people's thoughts and opinions if only those opinions do not look down on us or make it seem that the person judging is better than every body.
this year i've regained a new outlook on people who've i've met along the way from both my fandoms and my very distant past. through facebook, i was reminded of what need to remember and what i need to hold dear.
i know my note is very jumbled up and makes no sense.
i just want to put it out there that if i don't judge a person for having x number of kids, or if i don't judge a person for whining that he/she is super toxic with life and can't pursue a certain course. then allow me the same courtesy. kung ayaw mo mag make up eh di wag, wag ka na lang magcomment because people who do wear make up [like me and my ghels] we just love our winged liner as we are asian pop fans bwahahaha and that is our preference.
hindi jologs ang nakaka donate ng 500k sa gawad kalinga at nakaka bili ng original dvd at cd. lalong hindi jologs ang nakaka ibang bansa just to watch a concert or a fan meet.
thank you tsph and thank you nwa/via-astris. live long and prosper.

Because computer users are human, the user can be a major cause of computer failure. And we service our computers but in many cases, we operate the computer but know little about the software and hardware components and peripherals.
As this happens, you should ASSUME NOTHING when diagnosing computer problems. We diagnosed a new PC with a video display problems. After a brief look at the video card takes a while to see that the video card is not pushed fully into the adapter slot.
Although I saw the card, I fail to check thoroughly. This leads me to spend more time on issues that are not needed.The thought of a hard drive failure terror attacks in the heart of every computer user.
This is because of hard drive failure can cause loss of valuable data. Here are the most common procedures you should do when you experience hard drive failure.
Common Hard Drive Problems
Hard drive can display problems such as "retry, abort, ignore" or "can not read sectors" while operating. This is an indication that there might be a bad place or not legible on the drive. Reformatting and reinstalling the operating system can usually fix this problem. This will cause you to lose all data on your drive so it is important to always have a good backup your files daily.
There are several good utilities that either you can buy that can fix the problem hard drive without destroying data. The utility Spin-rite is a good utility and only costs $ 200.00 which is a good price if you want to avoid the hassle of reformatting the drive and restore the operating system. Here are some common hard drive problems you have to start from and we will be more specific later.
Use Operating System Utilities
First you may be able to fix the bad spots and errors from your hard drive by performing those PC maintenance in the operating system. Windows has Disk De-fragment and you should run a disk de-fragment after running Scan-disk since scan-disk will need to fix the problems found. After scanning the drive and de-fraging files, run Disk Cleanup to make sure all the junk files deleted.
Check Drive cables and connections
If there is an indication that the drive is receiving power (you do not hear the familiar clicking sound or lights drive not working) check the 4-wire connector from the power supply.
If the connection is secure, you can remove the power supply connector and do two things. You can check to see if there is a voltage with a multi-meter. But that is much faster to connect another 4 wire connector to the drive to see if the drive is working. There is usually an additional connector from the power supply or you can use the connection to the cdrom drive to test the voltage of power supply.
If the connection is showing no or very little voltage (4 volts or less) from the power supply, power supply may be bad. Now check and check all the connections, especially if you are someone else has recently worked on the computer.
If the drive will not boot up …?
Boot the computer with a DOS bootable disk. If you do not have one made, STOP and make one NOW by clicking Start, Settings, Control Panel, Add and Remove Programs, and Startup Disk.
Try to access drive C: by typing DIR C: and press Enter. If you see a directory on drive C: try to make the drive bootable by typing sys a: c: and press Enter. These files must be restored and the drive system can be restored to boot itself.
If this fails, you may have to format and partition the drive with a setup utility that came with your drive or computer.
If the Drive boots but hangs at boot …?
Turn off the computer, open the system unit and remove the ribbon cable at the end of the motherboard. Turn your PC and you'll get an error message that the drive is bad and in most cases will go into your BIOS. Change the type of hard drive to AUTO and shut down the computer.
Reconnect the ribbon cable and see if the drive is working properly. Setting the drive to be returned and must operate properly.
A hard drive that failed to boot up is also possible to have a bad controller. If the controller is already installed on the hard drive, not much you can do except replace the drive.

My EHR Consultant Article as a Podcast
John Lynn is the Founder of the HealthcareScene.com blog network which currently consists of 10 blogs containing over 8000 articles with John having written over 4000 of the articles himself. These EMR and Healthcare IT related articles have been viewed over 16 million times. John also manages Healthcare IT Central and Healthcare IT Today, the leading career Health IT job board and blog. John is co-founder of InfluentialNetworks.com and Physia.com. John is highly involved in social media, and in addition to his blogs can also be found on Twitter: @techguy and @ehrandhit and LinkedIn.
Some of you might remember that I relatively recently wrote an article about types of EHR consultants for MDNG magazine. It was a fun article to write. Considering my word limitations, I had to limit it to just a very specific topic. However, I still have a bunch of other commentary on EHR consultants that I plan on posting either on this blog or as an e-book eventually, but I digress.
What I thought was pretty cool about MDNG was that they took my article and not only published it online and as the cover story of the magazine, but they also did a podcast of a doctor reading my article on EHR consultants.
I love their use of technology in this way. I wish computer voices would improve and then I could easily publish this whole blog as a series of podcasts. Would be pretty cool.
