Patience: 3 Things You Need to Do During the L.A.G./
The "L.A.G." are the 3 steps and the acronym I use to remind myself of what to do when I am feeling impatient. It is when I cannot stand to wait, and I truly DO NOT WANT TO WAIT that this practice comes in most useful.
"L.A.G." is a distraction technique that is not a distraction at all but a way to deeply connect myself to a mindful, moment-to-moment practice of presence, and thus patience.Read More

I'm really not sure where to start with this. I thought it was absolutely wonderful! Helen has decided to take up the challenge of trying a new thing every day for two weeks after being let down by her boyfriend. Along the way she learns new things about herself and finds love is sometimes nearer to home than you think.
I found it very very funny. I was laughing out loud in places and my partner was giving me some very odd looks. I so identified with Helen. I loved her clumsy disaster prone nature (very like myself!) it made her very endearing and lovable.
All in all another good one from this author. I am now off to read the sequel!

I've run into a set of subtle, intertwined problems which are making it difficult to write a clear, simple, and consistent formal spec. 1. The spec describes a composition model for Features and Properties, but this is not reflected in the mapping of the infoset to the component model. The problem is that the {features} and {properties} of a component are not simply copied from the infoset. They must be computed using the composition model. This is an important point since the notion of equivalence of components is defined in terms of their properties. For example, If an interface extends interfaces A and B and each of A and B contains an operation X, then this is allowed as long as the operation X in A is equivalent to X in B. But to compute equivalence we need to look at the {features} and {properties} of X in each case. Suppose in A, X has a feature F defined, but in B, X is defined on B (not X). In this case X inherits F from B so the components are equivalent and the inheritanc is allowed even though the infosets for X in A is different than X in B. 2. The Features and Properties composition model does not specify what happens in the care of interface inheritance. The spec says the {features} and {properties} of an interface component are a superset of the {features} and {properties} of those of any interfaces it extends. However, this is not correct since the same Feature or Property may be defined differently in two extended interfaces, or may be explicitly defined in the new interface. We need to describe this situation. i.e. is it disallowed or do they combine in some way, or are they "overridden" by a definition in the interface. I recommend that we modify the component model as follows: The component model should make a distinction between properties that correspond directly to the infoset and properties that are derived. This is analogous to the notion of "in-scope" namespaces in the infoset. Specifically, we should augment the component model by adding {in-scope features} and {in-scope properties} in all components that have {features} and {properties}. We should also augment the Interface component with {all operations} and {all faults} which should be the sets of operations and faults that are either defined in the Interface or are inherited from Interfaces that are extended by the given Interface. {operations} and {faults} should be the components defined directly in the Interface. In a similar spirit, I suggest that we model component references in terms of infoset values, e.g. QNames, instead of abstract component references. The reason for this is that it would simplify the definition of component equivalence. For example, to compare two binding components we would compare the QNames of the interfaces they bind, and not descend into the the actual Interface components to determine if they were equivalent. It would be highly desirable if the notion of equivalence could be defined by looking at the infoset only and not the component model. Finally, I suggest that equivalence use the infoset values of {features} and {properties} and not their in-scope values. This means that we can compute equivalence by just looking at the infoset of the component and not by examining the component model. The motivation behind introducing the notion of equivalence was to allow the case of "diamond" inheritance, i.e. to have duplicate but "identical" definitions. The added complexity of defining equivalence in terms of the in-scope (i.e. composed) values of Features and Properties is not justified by any important use cases that I am aware of. Authors can always define components to have equivalent infosets when they are intended to be equivalent components.

My son is six years old and starting to get his permanent teeth. I am concerned because the teeth are discolored. Some even have a brownish or greenish hue. What caused this and what can be done about it?
From your description, it sounds like a very normal situation and nothing to be concerned about. When the teeth are forming in the jaws, they are surrounded by a soft tissue membrane called Nasmyth's Membrane (named after Alexander Nasmyth, a Scottish dental surgeon in London who died in 1847).
As the teeth erupt, remnants of this membrane remain on the surface of the enamel. The fibrous nature of the membrane readily picks up coloration from food.
In most cases normal chewing and brushing will remove the remnants with time. If they don't come off, they can be removed by having a professional cleaning.
Other causes for staining of teeth include high fevers during infancy, too much fluoride in drinking water and certain medications if taken while the teeth are still forming.
I am missing several teeth. A friend told me that she recently had implants to replace her missing teeth and is very happy. What are implants?
Dental implants are a wonderful way to replace missing teeth when certain conditions exist. Such things as your overall general health and the length of time you have been missing your teeth must be considered. The replacement of missing teeth using dental implants frequently requires a team approach.
After your dentist does a thorough examination and treatment plan the surgical phase of treatment takes place. In most cases a periodontist or an oral surgeon will put the implant(s), the artificial root(s) into the jaw. When healing is complete, usually after 4-6 months, the tooth or bridge segment can be placed on top of the healed implants by a general dentist. Some dentists are trained to place the surgical part of the implant as well as the prosthetic or tooth part.
You should ask your dentist if you are a good candidate for implants and ask for a referral if he or she doesn't do them.
Silver amalgam fillings, which are composed of 50% mercury and 50% silver alloy, eventually need to be replaced. It may surprise you to know that the average life span of a silver filling is five to eight years. Your dentist can tell you when they appear to NEED to be replaced due to leakage, breakdown or recurrent decay.
If your concern is strictly COSMETIC, there are many new methods available to replace the fillings with beautiful, functional long lasting restorations.
Such things as white filling materials, porcelain inlays, crowns and veneers may be used to give you the smile you are seeking.
There is currently a great deal of interest in new reinforced hybrid materials. These beautiful resin materials may be reinforced with fibers, similar to fiberglass, and used in very conservative inlays and bridges without having to grind away a whole healthy tooth.

To benefit the greater-Champlain community, Champlain College will host a Wellness Day on campus Sunday, April 13, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The event is free and open to the public to galvanize mind, body and spirit.
The day's programming will include free group fitness classes every hour, a healthy lunch from a local caterer, nutritious snacks, personal training, nutrition seminars, chair massage, henna and more.
"We are so excited to bring a day of health and wellness to Champlain College!" said Nakeeya Deas, Champlain College wellness coordinator. "We look forward to coming together with students, faculty, staff and community members as we learn about and experience amazing fitness classes, good nutrition and bit of pampering. I can't think of a better way to spend a Sunday!"
The event will take place in the fitness center and Fireside Lounge in the IDX Student Life Center on South Willard St. Attendees can customize their day by selecting the fitness classes they wish to attend, what times they will be meeting with industry professionals to get tips on how to improve health, and when they choose to be pampered with a complimentary chair massage or mani/pedi.
The group fitness class schedule and class descriptions is as follows:
Throughout the day there will be small group and personal training with CrossFit-Level 1 trainer and Champlain alumni Christopher Pearson '13 from CrossFit RVC in Lebanon, NH. He will also be helping people calculate their BMI and body fat percentage.
At noon, senior Ian Ebstien will conduct an hour-long Burpee-thon to contribute to Champlain's 1-million Burpees Challenge, which is taking place up until graduation on May 3. The challenge started on Feb. 27, and Ebstien has committed to 50,000 burpees in 60 days individually; that's 833+/- a day. "A burpee is an exercise that utilizes all your core muscles by dropping into a plank position, then jumping your legs into a squat and standing. We've committed to 1 million as a College because we want to show how we're dedicated to creating an active culture of fitness on campus," said Ebstein. "And we're all masochists. Ha ha."
Lunch will be served from 1 to 3 p.m., with a seminar at noon with dietitian Sumra Harper-Deas about making smart meal choices. Participants can bring home recipe cards and lots of valuable nutrition tips. Lunch will include high-protein recovery foods, as well as vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free diet options.
Sustain Champlain will provide stainless steel water bottles and talk about healthy sustainable ways to commute, support Fair Trade and more. They will also be helping to sort trash and compost.

Miah, A. (with Keyser, B. & Mauron, A.) (2005) Legalisation of performance-enhancing drugs. The Lancet, Special Supplement on Sport & Medicine, Dec, 366, S21.
"The rules of sport define a level playing field on which athletes compete. Antidoping policies exist, in theory, to encourage fair play. However, we belive they are un- founded, dangerous, and excessively costly.
The need for rules in sports cannot be dismissed. But the anchoring of today's antidoping regulations in the notion of fair play is misguided, since other factors that affect performance—eg, biological and environmental factors—are unchecked. Getting help from one's genes is acceptable, for example, whereas use of performance- enhancing drugs is not, despite the fact that both types of advantage are undeserved. Prevailing sports ethics is unconcerned with this contradiction.
Another ethical foundation for antidoping concerns the athlete's health. Antidoping control is judged necessary to prevent damage from doping. However, sport is dange- rous even if no drugs are taken—playing soccer comes with high risks for knee and ankle problems, for instance, and boxing can lead to brain damage. To compre- hensively assess any increase in risk afforded by the use of drugs or technology, every performance-enhancing method needs to be studied. Such work cannot be done while use of performance-enhancing drugs is illegal. We believe that rather than drive doping underground, use of drugs should be permitted under medical supervision.
Legalisation of the use of drugs in sport might even have some advantages. The boundary between the thera- peutic and ergogenic—ie, performance enhancing—use of drugs is blurred at present and poses difficult questions for the controlling bodies of antidoping practice and for sports doctors. The antidoping rules often lead to complicated and costly administrative and medical follow-up to ascertain whether drugs taken by athletes are legitimate therapeutic agents or illicit.
If doping was allowed, would there be an increase in the rate of death and chronic illeness among athletes? Would athletes have a shorter lifespan than the general population? Would there be more examples like the widespread use of drugs in the former East-German republic? We do not think so. Only a small proportion of the population engages in elite sports. Furthermore, legalisation of doping, we believe, would encourage more sensible, informed use of drugs in amateur sport, leading to an overall decline in the rate of health problems associated with doping. Finally, by allowing medically supervised doping, the drugs used could be assessed for a clearer view of what is dangerous and what is not.
The role of the doctor is to preserve their patients' best interests with respect to present and future health. A sports doctor has to fulfil this role while maintaining the athlete's performance at as high a level as possible. As such, as long as the first condition is met, any intervention proven safe, pharmacological or otherwise,
should be justified, irrespective of whether or not it is ergogenic. A doctor who tries to enhance the performance of their athlete should not be punished for the use of pharmacological aids, but should be held accountable for any ill effects. Rather than speculate on antidoping test procedures, resources should be invested into protecting the integrity of doctors who make such judgements.
Acknowledging the importance of rules in sports, which might even include the prohibition of doping, is, in itself, not problematic. However, a problem arises when the application of these rules is beset with diminishing returns: escalating costs and questionable effectiveness. The ethical foundation of prohibiting the use of ergogenic substances in sports is weak. As the cost of antidoping control rises year on year, ethical objections are raised that are, in our view, weightier than the ethical arguments advanced for antidoping. In the competition between increasingly sophisticated doping—eg, gene transfer—and antidoping technology, there will never be a clear winner. Consequently, such a futile but expensive strategy is difficult to defend."

Thuong + Jeff | Calistoga Ranch | Calistoga Wedding Photographer
So many parts of Thuong & Jeff's wedding day just took my breath away. The way these two connected with one another, as well as with their friends and family. The beauty of the setting at Calistoga Ranch, coupled with the lovely elements that Thuong & Jeff incorporated into their wedding. The king's table set up on the lawn in the beautiful end of day light - seriously stunning, and I love the intimacy of the entire wedding truly sharing a meal together. Laura & Anton playing guitar & violin, with Laura's beautiful & hauntingly nostalgic voice gently carrying through the warm summer air. Thuong in her dress - wow!!! I dare you not to fall in love with her gorgeous smile and that stunning gown!! And again the way these two gazed into each other's eyes - so inspiring and incredibly fun to capture through my lens. These are just a few of my favorites, or for many more, view their slideshow!
PS - On a little side note, I've been introducing some medium format film to some of my weddings. It's been super fun to return to shooting film, and I've really been enjoying the ways that using film introduces another pace to shooting and composing images. Working with and switching between both formats (digital & film) has been really rewarding & exciting! I'm like a kid at Christmas waiting for my film scans to come back! Can you tell which images below are film & which are digital?
Thuong & Jeff, thank you so much for inviting me to capture your gorgeous wedding & inspiring love!!
Special thanks to all of the wonderful and creative people whose hard work made Thuong & Jeff's day even more beautiful!

"Marriages are impossible to predict. Fairy tales become broken tales, love stories turn into stories of love lost, initial euphoria into a wish for marital euthanasia. The trouble with love is that it comes with the guarantee of nothing.
The nature of it is risk, happiness and hurt in the same muscle of the heart. Maybe Serena and Alexis are too different. Maybe she won't be able to give enough when she is giving to a baby even before the marriage begins. Maybe he will feel he is making too many sacrifices in his spectacular and exciting career to accommodate Serena, since her career is even more spectacular and exciting.
Perhaps the prospect of a continued love story is as realistic as Serena's insistence that she will return to the pro tennis circuit as soon as January because "I don't think my story is over yet." But if she says she will be back in January, she will be back in January. Anyone who has met Serena for more than five seconds knows that.
The marriage? How can it not thrive when the first date was six hours in Paris—with no particular destination—where no matter how crowded the streets and alleyways winding through the city, there was no one else except the two of you.
Now that's a love story."

Install Zimbra 5 sur Etch
De wikiGite
Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) Open Source Edition v5.0 On Debian Etch
Version 1.0
Author: Oliver Meyer <o [dot] meyer [at] projektfarm [dot] de>
Last edited 02/06/2008
This document describes how to set up the Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) Open Source Edition v5.0 on Debian Etch. The resulting system provides a full featured collaboration-suite with many features that I can't list all here - please have a look at the feature list. It also comes with a nice (themeable) AJAX web interface for administration and user access.
This howto is a practical guide without any warranty - it doesn't cover the theoretical backgrounds. There are many ways to set up such a system - this is the way I chose.
1 Preparation
Install a standard Debian Etch system and update it. I used a network installation (only standard system).
2 Hostname
You have to assign the hostname to the server ip. It is very important that the fqdn entry appears before the hostname.
vi /etc/hosts
It should look like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.0.110 server1.example.com server1
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
Afterwards insert the hostname into the hostname file ...
echo server1.example.com > /etc/hostname
... and reboot the system.
When the system is up again, the output of the both commands ...
... and ...
hostname -f
... should be:
You need a running DNS server in your LAN that contains a valid A & MX record for this server - otherwise Zimbra won't work. I used another server (192.168.0.100) running mydns for this howto. Add the nameserver's IP to the resolve configuration:
vi /etc/resolv.conf
The nameserver on your LAN has to be the first entry. It should look like this:

Signed: "Masami Teraoka" and numbered 5/75 in pencil on verso
Related links: Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art;
In 1985-1986 Masami Teraoka began his 'Aids Series', a series of watercolors and prints on the impact of aids. Among his subjects were geisha who seemed to comprehend the urgency of the situation, tearing open condoms with their teeth in their hurry to protect themselves.
This print is based on a 1988 watercolour very similar in composition, but with different text (see 'Ascending Chaos, The Art of Masami Teraoka', Chronicle Books, 2006, p. 115).
From the AIDS Series, Geisha in Bath is a woodblock print in 46 colors from 34 blocks of carved, laminated cherry wood. Printed by Satoshi Hishimura on Echizen Kizuki Hosho, 100% Kozo paper made by Ichibe Iwano who bears the title National Living Treasure. The blocks were carved by Motoharu Aaska and published in a numbered edition of 75 (originally proposed as an edition of 200, but in 2010, Teraoka changed the numbered edition size to 75), plus proofs. Signed and numbered on the verso.

So here I am with that instantaneous follow through. So, here is a quick pic of what one of the things I am working on in my studio! Think of this main page as kind of the check in on me spot as I am going to treat it a bit more like a blog.
On my easel, right now at this moment, I've got this lovely bunny lady with crystal carrots.
Estimated Finish Date (EFD): First week of May.
Also, I decided to do a quick drawing of Ariel for a response to a Facebook chain letter thing (remove negativity from Facebook via filling everyone's feed with Disney princesses) that I thought would be enjoyable. It was one of those, "should you choose to involve yourself, I will assign you the princess you remind me of." I would like to think my buddy thought of my adventurous nature and my willingness to leave all I know behind to follow my happiness, but I suspect it has more to do with the fact that my hair was RED in high school (Yeah. Like all caps red). Either way, markers are fun and it does feel nice to finish something the same day I started it.

The only legal way to obtain and use a scanner for cellphones is to receive a valid warrant as a law enforcement officer. Using a scanner to listen to cellphones under any other circumstances is a federal crime in the United States. It is punishable by fines, prison time and civil suits.
It is legal to scan for unencrypted broadcast frequencies in most jurisdictions, including police and fire radio, weather radio and amateur radio frequencies. One easy and inexpensive way to obtain these scanners is to use a smartphone app. Apps such as Scanner Radio allow users to browse broadcasts by source, area and type. Some apps offer only live access, while others archive broadcasts for future listening.
Although scanning for unencrypted frequencies is legal under federal law, states are permitted to pass more restrictive laws. New York and Florida prohibit scanners in vehicles except by licensed radio operators or individuals who legitimately use scanners as part of their jobs as of 2015. Michigan prohibits the ownership or operation of a scanner for five years after a felony conviction.
Using a police scanner or other legal scanning equipment to aid in the commission of a crime carries additional criminal penalties in some jurisdictions.

District Attorney Bob Lee announced that three "hard core" gang members were sent to prison for lengthy terms today. Alex Leonor, David Murillo and Cesar Nieblas pled no contest to charges alleging active participation in a criminal gang, assault, and a gang enhancement. They were sentenced to the California Department of Corrections for twelve, nine, and eight years respectively.
The charges stemmed from a gang-related assault in the Santa Cruz County Jail which occurred on September 12, 2011. Leonor and Niebles, along with two other gang members Luis Valencia and William Galdamez, assaulted another inmate, Ricky Corpus, with improvised weapons in a simultaneous assault. Corpus sustained a 13 centimeter slash on his neck, directly over the carotid artery, but was able to fight off his attackers. At that point, Murillo joined the fight, hitting the victim with an improvised sap and later attacking him with a hot water pot. Another gang member named Samuel Duran joined in the fight, but even with all six of the gang members attacking the victim, they were unable to subdue him. Corrections officer responded and ended the fight.
Leonor was sentenced to twelve years, as he was believed to have been the person who inflicted the slash wound to the victim's neck. Murillo was sentenced to nine years, as he had a prior "strike" under the Three Strikes law for a 2010 armed robbery. Nieblas received eight years. In April 2012, William Galdamez and Luis Valencia each pled guilty to the assault and an unrelated robbery for fourteen years in state prison. Samuel Duran, the last gang member to join the fight, also pled separately to the assault and an unrelated high-speed pursuit for four years and eight months in prison.
The reason for the attack is unknown; Corpus is a member of the same criminal street gang as the attackers, and declined to make a statement. Gang investigators suspect the fight was part of a struggle for power within the gang.
The District Attorney's Office was pleased with the outcome. "These are all hard core gang members who have frankly been plaguing our community too long," said Assistant District Attorney Charlie Baum. "They tried to tell the court today they weren't gangsters, but their gang allegiance was evident from their actions in this case and the gang tattoos all over their bodies. In fact, some of them got more gang tattoos after this incident. It's sad to see young men go to prison for long terms, but they've chosen this lifestyle and this is the result."
For further information, contact Assistant District Attorney Charlie Baum at 831 454-2882.

Sometimes, you get in one of those ruts where even the little things don't seem to go quite right. You get a flat tire, the store is out of marmalade, and you trip going up the escalator. It wouldn't be so bad if a few things were going right, but they just aren't. lululemon Athletica inc. (NASDAQ:LULU) feels your pain. The company just keeps finding itself on the receiving end of mediocre news.
First the company lost out on sales when it was forced to recall its overly sheer pants, then it lost its chief product officer, and then its CEO announced her departure. Now, Lululemon Athletica inc. (NASDAQ:LULU) is under fire from investors, who have filed several class action lawsuits against the yoga retailer regarding its product issues. Will it ever fully recover?
The problem with pants
The first lawsuit alleges that Lululemon Athletica inc. (NASDAQ:LULU) misled investors about the real cost associated with the company's earlier sheer pants issue. It claims that during the time between the announcement of the issue and the newest earnings release, management talked up the speed and efficiency of its problem-solving, while secretly planning to remove CEO Christine Day from office.
Depending on your point of view, Day's departure is either an unrelated event or the second casualty in the sheer-pants scandal. Product Officer Sheree Waterson left in April, in a not-so-subtly timed announcement that coincided with Lululemon Athletica inc. (NASDAQ:LULU)'s "how we're going to fix this" press release.
The shortage of fabric for the pants caused a meaningful dent in Lululemon Athletica inc. (NASDAQ:LULU)'s sales last quarter. The company admitted to having to write off $17.5 million of unusable Luon — the fabric used in the pants — due to the quality issue. The shortage also contributed to a 90-basis-point product margin decline.
That opened the door for competition, which resulted in a hit to Lululemon Athletica inc. (NASDAQ:LULU)'s same-store sales growth. In its most recent earnings call, Under Armour Inc (NYSE:UA) called out the strong performance in its studio line in the first quarter. That line competes with Lululemon's yogawear, and likely saw an uptick due to the market leader's product issues.
Who knew what
The issue isn't how bad the situation is, though — it's what Lululemon Athletica inc. (NASDAQ:LULU) said about the situation. The more detailed lawsuit has three claims against the company. First, that it purposefully cut down on Luon quality to boost its margins. Second, that the company then went on to discount its clothing in order to keep market share. Finally, that Day's removal had been in the works for some time. All of these things were going on, the suit claims, while the company put on a shining, "everything is fine" face for investors.

Our goal, when using cosmetic injectables, is to compliment your features not change them. Treatments used at Gold Coast Plastic Surgery focus on the 'natural look' for a more fresher, youthful you.
Anti-ageing injectables
The anti-ageing injectables we use block the nerves responsible for muscle activity. It is a non-permanent procedure that decreases lines and wrinkles by reducing muscle contractions. The treatment typically lasts up to 3 months and it is recommended to have treatments every 3 months for best results.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are a great option for treating creases by providing volume under the skin. The results are instantaneous and long lasting. There are a number of 'fillers' depending on the area being treated and the desired results.
Injectable wrinkle treatments from Gold Coast Plastic Surgery
Both treatments offer different benefits, our nurses can guide you through what is achievable with cosmetic injectables and educate you as to which areas of the face/neck can be treated.
Call for a free consultation to discuss your requirements and our registered nurse will be able to advise you of your best treatment options.
For more information, please contact us today.

Can Slipknot really be said to be the same kind of band in 2015 that they were in 1999 when the released that visceral debut album? Or 2001 when they released the obtuse, dark, dense and oddly goat obsessed "Iowa"? Or even 2004 when they returned from nowhere with the brave and creatively diverse "Vol 3: (The Subliminal Verses)"?
Not so much. They're probably not even the same band that broke the assumptions of all their doubters when they headlined Download Festival in 2009 and defined what a contemporary headline set should be.
Which to some is a shame. The band that were dangerous, compelling and entirely unpredictable no longer are any of those things. Their stage-show involves so much production that is inevitably partially choreographed, Corey Taylor's rock star banter, though totally convincing in the moment, is laughably clichéd in the harsh light of morning and those last two records stink more of vehicles for touring and singles, which circa "All Hope Is Gone" sounded increasingly like Stone Sour singles, than they do any kind of deep artistic statement.
I saw a acquaintance in the Glasgow music scene, whose opinion I respect immensely, draw comparisons between the Slipknot show in Glasgow on Sunday and a KISS concert. All production and spectacle but none of that danger, spontaneity or edge that once defined the band. Which on reflection, I'm totally ok with. It holds a lot of weight, and not just because Slipknot are waiting on their membership cards to the "middle aged men dressing up club" landing on the door mat alongside their latest royalty cheques.
The years have eroded their mystique somewhat. The loss of Paul Gray took the wind from their sails and the dismissal of Joey Jordinson, and the pantomime like back and forth over the identities of their new rhythm section, opened the curtain on the dark world of Slipknot. And even if these hadn't, Corey Taylor's inability to sit still, or shut up (and not write books), certainly has. Any sense of danger and mystery surrounding Slipknot's totemic mouthpiece has been lost in the light of his good natured grin. The masks are at worst a gimmick and at best a performance aide. The flashes of magazine shoots have dissolved their artistic menace.
What we're left with in 2015 is a powerful touring outfit who put on colossal shows to huge numbers of people and take them, often instantaneously, back to their youth. Or in the case of the younger generation, drag them through the quagmire of uncertainty and hormones by using universal angst and gratuitous swearing as life rafts. And they do all this with a pretty devastating back catalogue of tunes at their disposal. Even their latest record, devoid as it was of over half the band's key song-writers, delivered a few ferocious cuts in the form of "Sarcastrophe", "Custer" and the slow burn of "The Devil in I". And they're all less wet than "Snuff" or "Dead Memories".
As a mid twenties middle class wooly liberal I can't say I endorse "Fuck this world, fuck it all, fuck everything that you stand for" in the same way I did at 16 but when I see Slipknot this summer I'll have the time of my life venting my frustration through my bellowing along to "People =Shit" and losing my voice to "Duality" in a field with thousands of other people. I can't wait, but I also can't pretend that I lost any sleep over missing their Glasgow the other night. Slipknot aren't vital any more. But for my money (which I saved by not going to the gig) , they're still all sorts of fun, whether its tongue in cheek fun, pure nostalgia or the cathartic release of old is really down to yourself.
People change. Even Slipknot. Despite their promises that they wouldn't. Somehow, I find that comforting.
But we might as well make the most of a band who can unite so many people by playing such aggressive music for as long as we can. I'm not sure another band like this is going to come along. Here's to Download this year.

Home Inspection
Home inspections were done this morning. Overall, not too bad besides what we already know about the sun room foundation and termite infestation. The leaks that we have witnessed in the living room and master bedroom apparently are just old stains, and the leaks have since been repaired. Good news is that the inspector thinks there is a good 10 more years left in the roof. Bad news is all 3 sinks in the bathrooms need to be replaced because they are rusted through and there are some other issues. This photo represents how the sun room was built out on the deck, and the deck itself looks like it has seen better days. But according to the inspector apprentice, they have seen "worse" and only some floorboards are lose and edging is coming off on one area. Our full report from the inspector was over 40 pages long and included photos. It was great to learn more about the 37 year old house. We're eager to put in our request for repairs and move forward with buying it — even though there are these issues we think (and hope) they can be resolved.
On this day..

Bundesliga: SVG Lüneburg vs. Berlin Recycling Volleys
In their first year in the Bundesliga after being promoted, SVG Lüneburg is right in the thick of things with a record of 4-3 for 14 points and good enough for fifth place.
Today comes one of the big tests - the league-leading Berlin Recycling Volleys (7-1).
Canadian Erik Mattson (Toronto, Ont) wears the different jersey for Lüneburg while Berlin relies on the American influence of brothers Kawika and Erik Shoji with former Pepperdine Wave and Australian National team member Paul Carrol added in for good measure.

Balance Out the Can't with the Can
A recent study found that 54% of businesses prohibit employee social media use completely. There are valid arguments supporting both sides of this debate. We've seen quite a few news stories in recent months about social media policies coming to light. We've seen the topic discussed with regards to the news industry, sports leagues, and more recently, movie studios.
Fears exist. Questions. "How are my employees going to screw things up out there?" The result often ends up coming in the form of strict social media policies that severely limit interactions and engagement. "Here are the things that you can't do."
What fears do you have involving employee social media use? Share your thoughts.
In many cases, these rules are very justified. Amber Naslund made a very good point in an interview with WebProNews at BlogWorld this past weekend though. If you're going to give employees guidelines and tell them how they should not be using social media, you should try balancing that by giving them some ways that they should use it.
In the long run it comes down to what your goals are for social media use, and those goals should influence your policies. When you figure your goals out, you should be able to figure out how you want employees to proceed.
You should also use those goals to influence the tools you use to accomplish them. Wasted time is one of the most common reasons companies prohibit employee social media use. Wasted time can be minimized when you plan for specific goals. There are tons of social networks and related tools available, but that doesn't mean that you have to use them all. Try to determine which ones will most effectively help you accomplish what you are trying to do, whether that be push out information, drive traffic, provide customer service, etc.
When you can clearly establish your goals and the tools you want to use to accomplish them, it should be easier to clearly tell employees what they can be doing with those tools to help accomplish those goals. If you've picked a tool, you must have a reason for doing so. Share that reason in the policy. Make employees understand. "If you CAN use this tool this way, we CAN meet our goal of ____."
If this sounds vague, that's because different industries have different goals. Different businesses within the same industry have different goals.
What are your goals for business social media? Discuss here.

The Hiding Place," Corrie ten Boom tells of the time she and her sister went through Nazi inspections at a death camp.
They were forced to suffer the humiliation of taking off all their clothes. Corrie stood in line feeling forsaken, defiled and desperate for answers.
Suddenly she remembered that when He hung on the cross, Jesus too, was naked.
During that seemingly degrading moment, Corrie was struck with a great sense of awe and worship to God.
She leaned forward and whispered to her sister, "Betsie, they took off His clothes too."
Betsie's simple response, underscores a monumental truth about Thanksgiving.
Betsie gasped and said, "Oh, Corrie, I never thanked Him for that."
Thanksgiving is not about repayment. It's about recognition of what God has done in our lives, our families and our communities.
Thankfulness is the opposite of selfishness.
The selfish person believes they deserve what comes to them.
The unselfish person realizes that everything is a gift from God.
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God" (Philippians 4:6).
We live in a world that is largely anxious and pessimistic. It is often driven by fear and uncertainty. And by selfish motives. Paul defined his times as similar---calling them "evil days" while giving us instruction on how to view such times. And how to respond.
I'm giving a special message on the radio today titled, "Why I Can Not Be A Pessimist" based on Ephesians 5: 15-17.
Join me live at 9 AM PST or rebroadcast at 7:30 PM PST. Here's how.
Be Prayerful. Be Informed. Be Inspired. Be Vigilant. Be Pro-Active. Be Prayerful.

Jose Contreras gets an opportunity to right his ugly Spring Training as goes against lefty Cliff Lee on a chilly spring day in Chicago.
Let's hope the game is better than the previous two paragraphs.
We'll have baseball soon...right after I get some coffee. And remember, don't be shy. If you've got something to say, share it with everyone by using the message board on the right side of the page.
First inning
Here we go. Contreras works to Coco Crisp. Hey, the same guy who was sitting behind home plate for the opener is back today. And he's wearing his M&M jacket again. Nice touch. Crisp bounces one to first and Contreras hustles over to cover the bag for the first out. Alex Cora dribbles one back to the pitcher and Contreras flips it under-hand to Konerko. Two away. For those of you wondering, Rahula Strohl, who brought you yesterday's Cubicle, is resting in the adjacent cube. He's scheduled to type a simulated game tomorrow. Travis Haffner bloops one to left. A hard-charging Scott Podsednik can't get there and traps the ball. Haffner rounds first but stays put. The newly minted Victor Martinez flies out to Aaron Rowand in center. Rowand throws the ball to a fan (nice guy) and trots in.
Podsednik leads it off by taking three straight balls before watching a strike down the pipe. He lofts the fifth pitch he sees to Crisp in left. To answer a reader's question on the message board, the weather today is not so great, though, it looks like the sun is making a cameo on the South Side. When I walked to lunch it was cloudy and about 50. The crowd, as far as I can tell, is a bit sparse. But there may be more people enjoying the game. After all, it's Dollar Dog day. Tadahito Iguchi singles to left. Hai! The irascible Carl Everett digs in. But first some sort of delay where Cliff Lee has called on the trainer, who brings out two tongue depressors and tapes them together. Lee then uses it to clean his spikes. MacGyver-esque. Everett rips a double to left. Iguchi stops at third. Konerko, in a nice at-bat, dumps a single to right-center, scoring Iguchi (Hai!) and Everett. Jermaine Dye hits one deep but Tom--sorry, Grady--Sizemore settles under it for the second out. Rowand grounds out to end the inning.
Sox 2, Indians nada
Second inning
So much for my hope for another fast game like Monday's Buehrle gem. That first inning was about as long. Aaron Boone bounces one to Iguchi at second. One out. The sound on this broadcast is all out of whack. The sound from actual game is very poor. You can barely hear the bat hitting the ball, but then Hawk chimes in and it's like he's right next to you yelling in your ear. It's like watching the Masters and then flipping the channel to "Around the Horn." Contreras fans Broussard. And DJ isn't half as loud as Hawk. I think Hawk controls the volume and turns DJ down when he's had enough or wants to talk. Veteran move. Sizemore draws a walk. Casey Blake bounces out to Uguchi and we're on to commercials. Ah-nold implores us to visit "Colly-fornia" and all that.
AJ Pierzynski gets his big ball on and yanks the first pitch he sees from Lee into the Indians' bullpen beyond the right-field wall. Crede flies out to Crisp in left. Juan Uribe draws a walk. Podsednik hits one to left that Crisp butchers in an attempt to make a diving catch. The ball goes by him, Uribe coasts into third and Podsednik takes second. Uguchi sends one to left that's deep enough to score Uribe. Hai! Everett joins the party and Podsednik steals second--I mean third. Everett eventually fans.
Sox 4, Indians nil
Third inning
For those of you wondering, Rahula's word-count in tomorrow's simulated game is 100. But this is the Tribune Co. and its trainers we're talking about, so he's probably typed his last sentence of the year. He's destined for Terry Pluto surgery. Jhonny Peralta grounds out to start the inning. Quick first out. Crisp bounces one to Konerko, who steps on the bag himself. Cora hits one to Crede, who makes a high throw to first. Konerko can't spear, spin and make the tag. He's not exactly Elvis Stojko over there. And we're all thankful for that. Hafner is retired to end it and that's the last reference to a male figure skater you'll get out of me. Again, I'm sure we're all thankful.
Yes, I'm aware It's Iguchi not "Uguchi" as I've probably typed 100 times already. I feel shame. Konerko strikes out. Dye is up. Dye is down after striking out on a checked swing. Rowand grounds to short, nearly hits himself in the head as he flips his bat and is thrown out at first. Oh, boy, more Geico commercials.
Fourth inning
Martinez flies to Podsednik and we're graced by Aaron Boone's presence at the plate. But not for long. Contreras fans him. Dare I say the big Cuban is cruising? Brousard dribbles a ball down the line to Konerko who steps on the bag on the way to copping a squat in the dugout. Another quick inning. Tommy likee!
Jared's pimping Subway sandwiches. Do they ever show this guy from the waist down? I'm convinced he's a pear-shaped Grimace. All those sandwiches are stored downstairs. Just a theory. AJ Pierwhatshisface lines a single into center. Two hits for the catcher with the bad rap. Crede reaches with a single. Uribe has a bat in his hand. Rafael Betancourt is up in the Indians' pen. Uribe uses that bat to wave at balls in the dirt. He sits down next to Konerko in the dugout. Podsednik, who has looked decently OK so far, takes a few strikes. Podsednik hits one by a diving Cora, scoring Pierzynski. First and second with one out. A middle-aged man appears from the Cleveland dugout. Rumor has it it's Eric Wedge. He yanks Lee. Betancourt on and will pitch after a few beer and car commercials. ... I'm killing everyone with the play-by-play of this inning. Crede reached on a single. I tried to slip that in there after the fact, which probably added to the already confused state. Here's Iguchi nee Uguchi. He strikes out. Everett up with runners on first and second and two outs. He strikes out, but the Sox get another run.
Sox 5, Indians 0
Fifth inning
Tough reputation of Sox fans taking a beating today. There's a dude sitting near the Indians' dugout decked head to toe in Burberry. That ain't baseball. Usher! Casey Blake leads things off in the fifth with a lazy flyball to center. Sizemore grounds one towards first, Konerko makes a diving stop but hesitates just a bit digging the ball out of his glove and that allows Heidi Fleiss' ex to beat the throw to Contreras. Contreras' pitch to Peralta is way wide and Sizemore takes second. Peralta looks at a nice fork ball for strike three. Two outs; Sizemore on second. Crisp hits a hanging fork ball into right, Dye, who's got a gun, comes up firing but his throw to the plate is high. Sizemore scores; Crisp slides into second. Contreras taking his time now as Cora fouls off numerous offerings. Don on the message board, who said anyone's interested in your comments? OK, cheap shot. Sorry. This inning is getting to me. Cora bounces back to Contreras and the top half of the fifth is history. Thankfully.
Sox 5, Indians 1
Konerko strikes out looking at a breaking ball down the middle. This game has slowed to the pace of a cricket match. Does Betancourt have to go through an entire series calisthenics between each pitch? Onward. Breaking for tea any minute now. Dye, like Konerko, strikes out. Apparently Betancourt's pilates routine is working, but come on. Rowand digs in but not before Betancourt gets down and does 50 crunches. Rowand hits one to Boone at third and Boone boots it. Rowand reaches with two outs. Pierzynski comes up, but Betancourt is very worried about Rowand at first. Is he even a threat to run? I guess so. Rowand takes off and Martinez nails him by a few steps.
Sixth inning
Hafner to lead things off in the sixth. The guy wearing the M&M jacket sitting behind home plate is quite the social butterfly. He's in about his fifth different seat of the afternoon. Iguchi handles Hafner's ground ball with aplomb. Contreras, taking a page out of Betancourt's book, has slowed to a glacial pace, as well. Safe to say this game won't be over by the time "Jeopardy" starts at 3:30. Not that I watch since KenJen got eliminated. Contreras strikes out Martinez. Boone knocks one down the left-field line that scatters a bunch of ball boys and trots into second. Actually ball men, it looks like. Shouldn't there be an age limit for that job?
"Hey, Rick haven't seen you in 25 years. Not since high school. What are you up to?"
"Well, I sit on a stool at Sox games and shag foul balls."
"I see."
Broussard digs in. Contreras is up to 92 pitches--with about 10 minutes elapsed between each of them. Broussard walks, putting two men on and Don Cooper is on the phone in the Sox's dugout. Ozzie trots out to talk to Jose in the oldest time-kiling ploy in the book as Blake waits to hit. Neal Cotts is up in the pen. No need. Contreras quickly gets Blake to ground out to end the inning and escape a two-out mini-jam.
What follows is the Sox's half of the sixth, in case you're confused by my inane imaginary conversation between the ball man and his long-lost, high-school buddy. Pierzynski grounds out to start the inning. Crede quickly flies out. Two down just like that. I think that's it for Contreras. He's in the dugout drinking either blue Gatorade or Tidy Bowl. Everett sends one deep, but it's caught by Sizemore in center. More innings like that are needed.
Yes, Contreras is done. Cotts comes on to face Sizemore. Sizemore squibs one by Cotts, who makes a major-league spaz move trying to reach the ball, but Crede charges and makes a nice throw on the run to nail the runner. Jhonny "H before O" Peralta fouls off a few pitches before taking a walk. Crisp lofts one to center, Rowand comes on hard, dives and does a decent job of keeping the ball in front of him. That move saved a run. On TV it looked like the ball got past him and I let out a yell that made other people in the room stare. First and second with one out for Ronnie Belliard, who'll hit for Cora. Ozzie comes out to discuss table settings, candle-stick holders and the such. Cotts exits; Cliff Politte enters; Jared sells more sandwiches; this boy gets up to stretch. Belliard likes to take little strolls up the line between each pitch. He's also prone to ratchet up the straps of his batting gloves 50 times. Get in the box and stay in the box. Is that too much to ask? Politte goes 3-1 on Belliard before Belliard hits a fly ball to left that scores Peralta. And yet another pitching change. I missed who's coming on before Comcast flipped to commercial. ... It's Damaso Marte to face Hafner with a guy on first and two outs. What's taking my updates so long? There's no action to report unless you want play-by-play of the 500 commercials and protective cup adjustments. It's called a pitching change, K-Dog. Marte goes 2-2 on Hafner before Hafner flies out to Podsednik in left.
Sox 5, Indians 2
Belliard replaces Cora at second and David Riske comes on to pitch for the Tribe. Podsednik leads off the seventh for the Sox. Podsednik drags a bunt down the first-base line, but Riske pounces and throws on the money. Iguchi to bat with one out. Iguchi rips a single to left. I've got to say Iguchi looks solid. Josh in DC, I can't tell on the attendance. There aren't a lot of people out there, but I think Chairman Reinsdorf does not allow attendance numbers announced. Just like I'm sure he doesn't allow camera shots of empty seats. Contreras looked good. Slow and deliberate, but good. Everett works the count full. Iguchi takes off and Everett grounds out. Konerko up with Iguchi on second and two outs. Konerko hits it right at Sizemore in center.
Eighth inning
To answer your question, Steroid fan, I'm not sure. Peralta advanced from second to third in the seventh some how. Dustin Hermanson comes on to pitch for the Sox. He'll face Martinez. He strikes out Martinez with a fork ball in the dirt. Boone hits the first pitch right at Crede. Broussard works the count full and then pops up to Iguchi. Nice inning by Hermanson. And by nice I mean quick.
Former South Sider Bob Howry takes the mound for the Tribe. This guy used to go by Bobby when he was in Chicago. Dye digs in and knocks one by Peralta at short. Once again, Jhonny Peralta is no Omar Vizquel. But who is? Rowand bounces to Boone, who flips to second to get Dye, but Belliard's throw to first is off and Rowand is safe. Pierzynski, who's 2-for-3 with two runs scored, steps in with an opportunity to do more damage. This. Game. Is. Dragging. Pierzynski strikes out, which he doesn't do often. Last year he did it only 27 times. Crede steps in with two out and Rowand on first. Crede grounds to his counterpart at third to end the inning.
Ninth inning
Sound the gong: Shingo Takatsu will face the bottom third of the Indians' lineup in the ninth--Blake, Sizemore and Peralta. Dave, who said I'm getting paid for this? Blake gave one a ride down the left-field line but it obeyed Hawk's wishes and hooked foul. This one doesn't. After knocking about 10 balls foul and working the count full, Blake hits one to the left-field bleachers. Another full count, this one to Sizemore. Shingo throws a nice pitch to get him looking. Sizemore thought it was a ball and was walking down the line when he got rung up. Shingo is not around the plate a whole lot here. Josh Bard pinch hits for Peralta. Bard lines one right at Rowand in center. Fans are waving brooms. Crisp is the Tribe's last chance. Even the guy in the M&M jacket behind home plate is up. Hey, I'm standing up. Crisp hits a homer to right. 5-4 game. Way too many pitches by Shingo. If he can't get any of those frisbees over, hitters just sit on his 40-mph fastball. Case in point: Belliard just tied it with a homer to left. One question: Why is Shingo still in there? Hafner could put one in the parking lot. He walks. Shingo's throwing whiffle balls up there. And finally Don Cooper comes out to the mound. Luis Vizcaino is throwing in the pen. Shingo remains to face Martinez, who rips the first pitch to center for a single. That brings out Ozzie and Vizcaino will be the Sox's seventh pitcher of the game. Three homers in the ninth--off one pitcher. When's the last time you saw that? OK, Boone bats with two on and two outs. Boone pops it up to Iguchi. Nightmare ninth for the Sox. But they can still end it in the bottom half with one swing.
Sox 5, Indians 5
Arthur Rhodes to pitch for Cleveland and to Uribe. Uribe bounces out to Jose Hernandez at short. Podsenik is robbed by Broussard, who stretched high to spear Podsednik's liner. Iguchi has a chance to bail out his countryman. A single to left will help. His third hit of the day. Good at-bat. The ball nearly found the gap. Here's Everett with a man on. After taking two huge swings, Everett hits the ball about five inches in front of home plate. Martinez jumps all over it and throws him out.
10th inning
Vizcaino strikes out Broussard to start the 10th. Jon Garland is limbering up. It's the third game of the year and they're already out of pitchers? Blake grounds to Uribe at short. Sizemore grounds to Iguchi and Vizcaino makes quick work of the Indians.
Ross Gload, who replaced Konerko a while ago, leads off for the Sox. He strikes out--quickly. Dye lines out to right. And, yes, Garland is up in the pen. Maybe they won't need him. Rowand's got some pop. Instead he grounds weakly to second.
Vizcaino walks Hernandez to start the 11th. Hernandez takes off for second early in Crisp's at-bat and Pierzynski guns him down. I'm thinking all foul balls in extra innings should be strikes. Crisp grounds one off Vizcaino's glove and the pitcher can't recover to make the throw. One on, one out for Belliard. Belliard doubles to left and Crisp has to stop at third because of a nice play Podsednik to cut the ball off before it could roll to the wall. The Sox will walk Hafner intentionally. The bases are full of Cleveland baseball players as Martinez looks to do some damage. Martinez dumps a single into right, scoring two runs. First and third with still one out for Boone. Crede makes a nice diving play and guns Boone. Nice play by Gload at first, too. But another run scores. They'll put Broussard on. Blake bloops a single to left and Hafner scores from second. Second and third with two outs. Vizcaino is now the sacrificial lamb. He's not coming out of this one unless his arm falls off. Ho, boy. Sizemore singles and two more runs come in. It's 11-5 now. Hernandez bounces one to Uribe at short and he boots it. From bad to big-time worse. Someone flies out to center to mercilessly end this inning.
Indians 11, Sox 5
Matt Miller is the Indians' new pitcher. Pierzynski will start the Sox's big rally. Maybe not. He flies out to left. Timo Perez makes the second out and it's up to Willie Harris. Harris grounds back to the pitcher and this one's over.
Final: Indians 11, Sox 5
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, Sox fans. This one was in the bag, 5-2, in the ninth. But as someone said on the message board--if Mariano Rivera can blow two straight saves, Shingo is allowed one. It's early. Thanks for reading. Enjoy your weekend.
