Common Facebook Terminology From “Facebook For Dummies, 2nd Edition” by Leah Pearlman and Carolyn Abram Facebook connects you with the people you know and care about. It enables you to communicate, stay up-to-date, and keep in touch with friends and family anywhere.
You can share photos, videos, notes, gifts, even chat live with others online at the same time as you.
If you’re new to Facebook, you’ll run into some unfamiliar terminology. Here are some common terms and their definitions: n Profile: This is your page. It contains your photos and videos, a list of your friends, your recent activities, and anything else you choose to include on it.
n Gift: This is a whimsical or cute icon. You can give these gifts to your friends for prices ranging from free to $1. Gifts appear in your friend’s Gift box on their Profile.
n Wall: This is where you and your friends can write on your Profile. Your friends may write on your Wall to communicate with you, congratulate you, embarrass you, and more. You post on your own Wall to let your friends know what you’re up to.
n News Feed: This is a continuous stream of updates about your friends’ activities on and off Facebook. It appears on your Home page.
Marrying Wine With Food From “Wine For Dummies, 4th Edition” by Ed McCarthy and Mary Ewing-Mulligan Food and wine interact, based on the components of the wine. These tips will help you pair the right wines with your food to make a memorable meal.
Tannic Wines. Have you ever taken a sip of a red wine and experienced a drying-out feeling in your mouth, as if something had blotted up all your saliva? That’s tannin. Tannic wines include most wines based on the Cabernet Sauvignon grape, northern Rhone reds, and any wine that has become tannic from aging in new oak barrels. These wines can: n Diminish the perception of sweetness in a food. n Taste softer and less tannic when served with protein-rich, fatty foods such as steak and cheese.
n Taste less bitter when paired with salty foods. n Taste astringent (mouth-drying), when drunk with spicy-hot foods.
Sweet Wines. Wines that often have some sweetness include most inexpensive California white wines, White Zindfandel, many Rieslings, and medium-dry Vouvray. (Dry is the opposite of sweet.) These wines can: n Taste less sweet, but fruitier, when matched with salty foods.
n Make salty foods more appealing. n Go well with sweet foods, such as desserts.
