Are these players' hot or cold starts for real? Scouts offer their takes
Three weeks into the season, and we know nothing. Okay, we know that Nelson Cruz is good at hitting baseballs, that the Royals are a fired-up, ornery bunch, and that Bryan Price could use a long weekend in Belize. Other than that, we know nothing, and anyone making definitive claims about a player or team three weeks into the season, citing data samples, deserves a shakedown from the Small Sample Size Police.
That being said, it's not too early to take note of some useful information and early trends. So we asked some scouts around the league about the players whose notable starts may or may not be real—and those whose slow starts may be signs of big trouble.
Ubaldo Jimenez
The most surprising American League pitcher so far? "For me, it's Ubaldo," says one AL advance scout, who saw Jimenez in his April 11 start against Toronto. "In the first two innings [Jimenez] made more good pitches than he did all of last year. He's not throwing harder. What's been eye-opening is that he made a nice adjustment: He still has all the moving parts in his rotation, but [in his delivery] he's more upright and he's able to get it out in front and is able to throw downhill more." The result? "He's much better with pitches down in the strike zone. His rhythm is right, and if he can maintain that, he's going to have a great year. I think this is legit."
A resurgent Jimenez would be huge for the Orioles, who have allowed more runs than any team other than the Brewers. "The thing that you wonder about is where Kevin Gausman fits now with them," says the scout. "I think the odd man out is going to be [Bud] Norris. I used to think Ubaldo would be that guy, but—and I wouldn't have believed this before the season—I think he becomes an anchor in the rotation."
• McCANN: Hamilton's time with Angels could soon be over
Alex Rodriguez
.265/.419/.571, 4 HR, 11 RBIs (62 PA)
Do you believe in the Renaissance of A-Rod? "To a degree, yeah, I do," says a scout. "There are a lot of things that bode well. You haven't been seeing him jump on the first pitch [in recent seasons], but now he's doing that. He's showing how smart of a hitter he is and his baseball intelligence. He still has good recognition, and he's showing that as he's jumping on mistakes and not missing them. Physically, his lower half is strong and he's clearly healthy."
Of course, the season is still young, and pitchers make adjustments. "I think that everyone read the press speculation that the bat slowed down a bit and they've been attacking him with fastballs, and that approach just isn't working—but I have no doubt that the pitchers will adjust," the scout says. "And when he's not being fed all these fastballs, I'm not that bullish he keeps this up."
• JAFFE: Where would clean, healthy A-Rod rank on career HR list?
Steven Souza
.268/.349/.536, 4 HR, 11 RBIs, 4 SB (63 PA)
Souza, acquired from the Nationals in a three-team deal in December, exploded for four home runs in eight games after a slow start, and now he looks like a prime breakout candidate. Is he a legit 20–20 player or a potential All-Star? "It's hard not to love the size and the tools, but I think the swing-and-miss approach was a concern—a lot of people said he was a fourth outfielder," says an AL scout. "Injuries always held him back, he had a PED suspension [in 2010] that hurt him, he got overshadowed in the Nats' system because he's not Bryce Harper or Stephen Strasburg or Anthony Rendon. But I always loved him. He has great bat speed and athleticism, and he's showing it. They have [Evan] Longoria, but he's already showing that he's the most dangerous hitter in Tampa. He's an All-Star."
• CORCORAN: Ventura, Royals need wake-up call after latest brawl
Alex Guerrero
.474/.450/1.211, 4 HR, 12 RBIs (20 PA)
"I'm still not buying," one National League scout says of Guerrero, who's raking with the Dodgers, with four homers in nine games. "He's Cuban, so people think he's Yasiel Puig, but he's not on the same level. He's never been a huge power guy, and nothing has changed my opinion. I think he's just had a really good stretch. People are clamoring for him to get more at bats, but that's such a talented roster that I don't blame [Don] Mattingly. [Guerrero] is terrible at second base, and I don't know where he else ends up. Let's remember he's 28, so he's not exactly a young player on the rise."
• JAFFE: Mets' long winning streak is great sign for playoff hopes
Chase Utley
.120/.161/.240, 2 HR, 9 RBIs, 1 SB (56 PA)
Is this the beginning of the end for Utley? "I've been watching him for 18 years, and this is the worst I've ever seen him play in my life," says an NL scout. "He's looked so bad that there's even people saying something's wrong with his eyes. The other night he came across an easy double play ball in a recent game and just dropped it. He's taking pitches in the zone. His bat used to stay in the zone, but it's so quick in and out of it now. You wonder if his knees are bothering him and he's not saying anything. It's just a shame because he's such a stalwart—it's as hard to write him off as a guy like Derek Jeter. But he looks so bad right now, it's hard to believe he's got much left."
• CORCORAN: Nathan's career could be over after ligament tear
Carlos Beltran
.190/.240/.326, 0 HR, 7 RBIs, 0 SB (54 PA)
A resurgent Beltran was always a key part of the Yankees' plans to contend, but the just-turned–38-year-old is off to another slow start in the Bronx. "It's time to make him a platoon player," says an AL scout. "I really like Chris Young, and he's just crushing lefthanded pitching, and I think he can keep it up. A-Rod has thrown a wrench into Girardi's ability to DH Beltran, so he's had to run out to rightfield a lot.... But this is a much better team with Young in the outfield ... and it's time the Yankees recognize that, no matter how much they're paying [Beltran]."
• REITER: Unassuming Vogt is unlikely yet perfect face for Athletics
Carlos Gonzalez
.175/.213/.298, 1 HR, 5 RBIs, 0 SB (61 PA)
Not long ago, CarGo was one of the most dynamic players in the game, but off an injury-plagued 2014, he looks lost at the plate. Time to panic? "I'm not concerned," says an NL scout. "The big thing for me is that in the field, he looks healthy, he's moving very well in the outfield, and as long as he's healthy, he hits. Remember, he only played 70 games last year, so it's going to take some time for him to get going. He's always been streaky, and he'll get hot one series at Coors and turn things around. Right now, he's not walking as much as he did when he was at his best, and he's hitting a lot of ground balls. He's not going to his 25 home runs, but I think he's still got 20–20 potential."
• PODCAST: What Reds' Price got wrong in his profane rant to reporters
Steve Pearce
.152/.235/.283, 2 HR, 4 RBIs, 0 SB (52 PA)
He was one of last season's big breakouts, but right now Pearce is struggling, badly. "He's pull-crazy right now," says a scout. "It's like he got off to bad start and he's a little bit anxious now and he hasn't found that rhythm from last year. He went through a 2-for-30 stretch where he just looked like he was pressing: He's hooking balls and grounding out and just looks out of sync. His strike zone management is not where it was last year. [Former hitting coach] Jim Presley did a great job with him last year, but now that he's gone, I think it's part of it. Now Pearce is losing at bats, and there's a chance this snowballs. The thing I'd worry about is that Buck Showalter is just going to turn to someone else in the lineup—he's not one that will hesitate to lean on guys like Travis Snider and Delmon Young. But I do think last year was legit [for Pearce], and he'll turn it around."

Henrix, welcome aboard, in our group one of the orginal players was/is a swede and over the years met some good guys from sweden including a guy who helped out with the rules lay out. .
Thank you!
I know Henrik and Jocke since a long time ago. In fact one of the first things I noticed when I first checked out the game (and read the rules, I'm a rules junkie) was that they were involved.
Hello! Another swede here. I tested the game with Henrix with proxied models, had great fun amids all the confusion, and am looking forward to next month when I will order my Savage Wave minis!
I've played some different miniature games, most recently Alkemy and Confrontation, over the last twenty years or so, and been roleplaying for longer than that.
Welcome Yinkin, good to have another Swede on board there are quite a few of you here now. Make sure you add yourselves to the player locator.
Hi folks,
I am Joe from near RAF Brize, Oxfordshire. Thought my gaming days were gone but stumbled on Bushido and it may well have saved me from a fate worse than a fate worse than death
Only recently picked up some Temple minis and hoping to start painting them this week but given how little time I have for painting it may well be 2013 by the time I finish the starter set
Shamanu, welcome to the boards glad Bushido brought you back into the fold. We're about quite a lot through this month if you get the chance to put to one of the events and say hi.
Sat 12th - Birmingham
Sat 19th - Cardiff
Sat 26th - Birmingham
Hi Guys,
I'm from Stevenage (near London) and got into Bushido following a demo game at Salute where I played against my mate, I was using the Temple of Ro Kan and he was using The Prefecture.
I really enjoyed it, loved the minis and promptly picked up a Ro Kan starter set. My friend didn't get a starter set (grumble. he was skint) so I've also picked up a Cult of Yurei starter set and am working my way through painting them. (Ro Kan is done, now onto the cult :-D)
I've successfully managed to get my brother to get the Savage Wave starter set, and am looking forward to playing a lot in the near future :-D
Welcome, Dave.
Also doing your part for the indiegogo campaign I see!
Keep up the good work ;-)
Hey all.
I'm from North Wales, but Sussex originally.
Returning to wargaming after quite a few years and I may as well be new.
Just started finding out about Bushido and the minis are fantastic and the whole range and game is awesome.
Not sure what faction to start with!!
Hope to become an avid player!! Cheers, DABYX
Hi Dabyx, where are you in North wales? I only ask becuase I'm in Wrexham monday- thursday next week and travelodge's are not exactly hubs of excitement..as for faction what style of gaming do you favour?
Hey Greeny.
Im kinda near Wrexham but Im newish to the entire hobby! lol. So I prob cant help much as a gaming partner.
Buuut...may I possibly direct you to a shop in Llandudno called Acme Games that does gaming evenings.
Not sure if they do Bushido mind but Tues is apparently open wargames night. :-)
Hey guys, the names Peter and im from Perth Western Australia - the games I play mostly are Anima Tactics, Okko, and im looking to get into Bushido, for now Im collecting the figures for use in my oriental roleplaying game, Wu Xing: The Ninja Crusade by Third Eye games
Hi there,
I've been looking for a good oriental fantasy game since Clan War, and I really liked the Bushido models and the rules sound pretty cool. I'm more of a modeler than a gamer these days, but really like where Bushido is going. Hopefully I can coerce some of my friends into a game.
I already have a few starting factions, now just need to paint them up and try some games with people.
Just wanted to say 'Hi', and thanks for the work you guys and the community are doing.
Thanks Lachdannan,
Welcome to Bushido, I hope you enjoy your stay in tue Jwar Isles!
Good day all. Name is Phil, currently located in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Discovered Bushido through reading the "Frontline Gamer" blog, watching videos from Salute 2012. Been trying to find a reliable source for Bushido models within the country, but I took the plunge anyway and pitched in to the Indigogo Ito campaign. Very much looking forward to getting other players in my club involved in a "Tale of Five Gamers" sort of campaign (considering that there is 5 faction now!).
Thanks Phil. yo won't be disapointed from jumping into the campaing for the Ito. the disapointed ones will be your friends when they realized they missed the free minis... We do have a distributor In the USA so your local shops could get Bushido from them... or get in contact with us
im Bork, (hi to the GCT ukcorders from back in the day) or Alistair
finally took the plunge and invested in this awesome little game (moogaloo is very convincing) just put my $100 into the Ito campaign and looking to play ito and savage wave.
cant wait to get painting n playing.
keep up the good work guys.
Yay - Borks bought in.
If Bushido were a publically floated company, share prices woulda just jumped 20%!
Welcome Bork, glad to have you on board, good work Andy.
haha yeah i doubt it'll be long before the GCT guys will be driving porsches funded by my insatiable hunger for miniatures!
id have been on board much sooner had i not been made redundant and thus skint before xmas but now im flush and hungry for pewter!!
Hi Bork,
Glad the work situation has sorted itself mate. Welcome to the game and great to have you here. Just need to decide on what i'll call my Yacht now
I feel quite at home here , Mike from manchester (others may know me as greymane elsewhere) . Starting playing the temple and it looks like NWGC (north west gaming centre) picked up a few more players over the weekend at Games expo.
Hello Mike,
Welcome aboard and good to see lots more Bushido players in the North.
Hi folks,
I'm Steve, from the west midlands uk, been wargaming for a few years now. Usually playing Malifaux and 40k.
A warcraft friend of mine popped along to last weekends expo and was chatting whilst building his turtle, after a brief discussion with him, i got onto the phone with my regular opponent and suffice to say i'll be starting off next month.
I think some monks to begin with (the upcoming Hitaru figure looks amazing), unless the Ito are released by then... but tbh it'll only be a matters of days before i end up with all of them (i'm one of the many sufferers of the terrible magpie syndrome).
Pleased to meet you all :)
Hi Steve
Good to have you here, enjoy your stay and feel free to ask questions etc.
My name's Gareth and I usually visit Warseer under the name Astraeos, but I adore Japanese culture and finding Bushido last year got me a bit over excited and I signed up under a different user name!
It's actually the real name of a character I designed for a manga I've been thinking up for about ten-ish years!
I've been into Games Workshop since I was ten and has been one of the greatest passions in my life despite the constant price rises and abysmal "Finecast" material. Finding a games club has allowed me the opportunity to branch out and I regularly play Malifaux using a Guild crew led by Lady Justice!
I've also dabbled with Infinity, Warmachine and Soda Pop before now. Soda Pop is souding pretty good these days and I'm waiting for my Super Dungeon Explore pre-order anxiously!
I have a confession, I'm yet to buy any Bushido models (too distratced by other games) but I did donate 50 dollars twice to the Ito campaign! I'll probably end up getting the Prefecture of Ryu set at some point.
Good morning all
Sorry but I started posting earlier withour paying attention to this section and failing to introduce me.
My name is Stephane, I am 47 years old and I live in Mayotte, a small island near Madagascar.
I have been playing figurines and games for a while but I understood early that I shall never be the new Napoleon of the gaming tables. So I specialized in giving points to my opponents, in suffering in silence while being used as a carpet to clean the iron boots of my adversary and in offering a smiling face while I was only thinking about transforming the other player into a bakemono feast for inflicting me my Xth defeat.
As a resume, let's say that I just like playing whatever is the game and whoever wins.
I'm Kyle from Lowestoft, England. A friend of mine told me about this game when we were on the search for new games to play between Warhammer anf Malifaux and the likes and this one caught our attention :)
I play both Cult and Precture and find it to be one of my most played games currently!
Welcome to Bushido!!!
@Ryumaru, how you getting on with the game?
@Shakall, that's the spirit, all for fun right! And if you lose you can always go outside and enjoy the tropical paradise :)
@KlewB, is your friend the other two? Have you introduced the scenarios yet?
@KlewB, is your friend the other two? Have you introduced the scenarios yet?
Other two? You mean other two factions? if so; yes :)
We have used the scenarios, but only with monks vs cult , we only recently got the other two factions, but for the most part we've played capture the kami. Which usually ends in a monk victory with the cult shuffling after them in the distance :P
Anders here yet another Swede lured into the game. I have been lurking in the outskirts admiring the models for some time now...
Anyway I have been playing wargames and rpgs for 25+ years now, but nowadays not as frequently as before, mostly some warmachine/hordes, freebooters fate etc. Most of my miniature time has gone towards diorama/participation games for cons etc.
I have ordered some monks, and will most likely get the savage wave later.
Hi, Anpu! Welcome aboard!
Aren't you the Fallout guy from Gubbspel Galore last year?
Welcome Anders
Enjoy your stay here and feel free to ask questions and post pictures.
Hi, Anpu! Welcome aboard!
Aren't you the Fallout guy from Gubbspel Galore last year?
Yes, that's me, I am doing Fallout again this year, and hopefully I will have time take a look at your bushido demo as well.
Welcome Anders
Enjoy your stay here and feel free to ask questions and post pictures.
Hey there I new to ten game relly liked the models so got some. My loan club is in Hemel Hempstead
Near London and was looming for some on to help ad out and come up and teach us. Can any one help
Welcome to Bushido!!!
@Ryumaru, how you getting on with the game?
Still reading the rules but I have a Prefecture of Ryu starter set and am waiting for Daisuke and Matsu to turn up in the mail.
I'm trying to decide on a second set so I can entice others to play.
Hey you all,
The name's Wouter but I usually go online with my nickname. I'm from Belgium and play miniature games for quite some time now (since I'm 33 and I'm playing from my 15th). There are a lot of games I own, just because I'm interested in the rules or I see miniatures I'd like to paint. But there are only a few games that I really play with a friend. Freebooters Fate, Anima T, Warmachine being the ones that are played the most. But occassionally I play Infinity with my brother. And I'm eagerly waiting for Relic Knights to be released. There isn't really a gamesclub nearby (me and a couple of friends used to have a club of our own, but we mostly play rpg's these days), the nearest being in Tilburg or Antwerp.
I came across Bushido while surfing for some interresting terrain and it catched my eye. Being a fan of L5R, manga/ anime as a whole and Usagi Yojimbo it probably isn't so strange. I haven't decided on a faction yet, but either Ro-kan or the cult of Yurei spark my interest.Shame I missed the Ito funding though. Now I'll read about these factions a bit more to make my final decision.
I haven't decided on a faction yet, but either Ro-kan or the cult of Yurei spark my interest.Shame I missed the Ito funding though. Now I'll read about these factions a bit more to make my final decision.
Go for both - thats what I did! Good luck with your decision making though and make sure you post some pics!
Just noticed i presented myself in the french part of the forum, but not in this one! Sorry...
So, Malhorme, 30y, france.
Playing miniature games since a bunch of years (1992 i guess, oh my). I discovered bushido through TGN and my local resaler. Immediate and true love for the prefecture.
Probably some of the finest mini I saw for many years, and a good game system
Bushido, what else?
Hello Malhorne
Welcome to the forums, and hope you enjoy your stay.
Hi all!
My name is Greg, and I'm from the St. Louis, Missouri, USA region. I was introduced to Bushido by Polar_Bear, and I love the game. I have played a few demo games, and while I unfortunately missed out on the Indiegogo campaign for the Ito, I fully intend on buying the faction when it is released.
Hi Greg
Welcome to Bushido and you have a great opponent to play against in the Polar Bear.
Hello All,
Live in Peterborough UK and I've been playing various games for over 25yrs. I'm trying this game as I'm also a reasonably qualified Martial artist and fancy combining the 2 hobbies. I imagine it'll be Ro Kan for starters, then we'll see how it goes.
Hey Paul,
Welcome to Bushido, the Ro-Kan monks are quite the martial artists and Master Po will only add to this.
Hey Paul. Welcome to Bushido. I'm just down the A1 in Huntingdon. Give me a shout if you want to run through any games.
Will do chap, There's 2 of us having a go so when we've both got our stuff I'll PM you and we can sort something out. Thanks for the offer it's much appreciated.
No probs. got a 2x2 board, terrain and look forward to your pm.
hi im jake, im 22, ive been playing 40k since crimbo last year, im playing cult of yurie and im from peterborough, england :)
Hi jake
Welcome to the game. Are you in a club or play in a store? If you haven't all ready might be worth adding yourself to the player locator.
Im Patrick from Toronto in Canada. Ive been a wargamer for 16 years and have played most games out there. I have recently tried out Bushido using Infinity Yu Jing models as proxies & I enjoyed it and so I ordered some models. Im still waiting for the models to arrive here soon but I have played quite a few games since discovering it and its allready jumped into my top 5 games with the only games ahead of it being dust warfare, Infinity and Star wars minis... So Bushido is already #4 and rising in such a short time. I really hope you find enough success to keep releasing new models as I will likely run out of Bushido models to buy pretty quickly at this rate. I dig the theme I dig the models and I dig the mechanics... Heres hoping the game survives and thrives.

.NET Core – http://dot.net/ this will take you to the home page for all .NET stuff including Visual Studio 2015 and Xamarin. If you want a link directly to the .NET download page you can go here: https://www.microsoft.com/net/core#windows
Docker v1.12 – Beta can be gotten to through the above link as well but the direct link is here: https://docs.docker.com/engine/getstarted/step_one/#step-1-get-docker
Part of the lab includes deployment to Azure and Docker containers. To use the most recent version of Docker you need windows 10 and hyper-v turned on.
If you don't have windows 10 you can use the older version of Docker (v1.11). This doesn't use Hyper-V. Instructions can be found here: https://docs.docker.com/v1.11/windows/
Docker Tools for Visual Studio 2015 – Jeff also recommends getting the toolkit at https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/0f5b2caa-ea00-41c8-b8a2-058c7da0b3e4.

The mess in Washington just got local. Yesterday, Moody's announced that five states, Virginia among them, risked being downgraded from AAA bond status should the federal government not resolve the debt crisis in time.
Ironically, the bad news came on the same day that Virginia announced a $311 million surplus for FY 2011. Virginia started making tough - but necessary - decisions two years ago, and is reaping the benefits, yet federal dysfunction threatens to knock Virginia's excellent bond rating down a notch.
Given our proximity to the nation's capital and the large military presence in the Commonwealth, Virginia stands to lose disproportionately if the federal government cannot meet its obligations. But all states will suffer, given the reliance of state governments on federal dollars. It's a good argument for increased autonomy in state programs - one of many.
Virginians have a right to be angry. Here in the Commonwealth, we've worked hard to establish a secure financial footing. When the General Assembly mulled Governor McDonnell's proposal to issue transportation bonds, legislators and the Governor actually sat down with the ratings agencies to make sure that we would not be imperiling Virginia's AAA rating. Yet now it's in jeopardy thanks to the spendthrifts in Washington, D.C.
The downgrade is by no means certain, even if the federal government fails to get its act together by August 2. Virginia - one of the best-managed, most fiscally prudent states in the nation - has been placed on review because President Obama and his allies in Congress refuse to commit to necessary budget cuts. Virginia led the way in making difficult decisions and is emerging stronger. Now we just have to hope that President Obama doesn't drag us into a ditch of his own making.
Race in Focus: Patrick Forrest vs. Janet Howell
For many Virginia conservatives, Democratic Senator Janet Howell needs no introduction. I could tell you about all the bad votes she has taken-on taxes, transportation, energy, guns, abortion, you name it-but more significant are the votes she hasn't taken. The votes no one has taken thanks to her intervention.
As chair of the Senate Committee on Privileges & Elections, she has bottled up bill after bill, refusing to allow a committee vote - in clear violation of Senate Rules. The idea of a committee where bills go to die is not, unfortunately, new. But a committee whose members don't even get to hear the bills? That's something different altogether.
Voter identification. Charter school expansion. The right to work amendment. The transportation lockbox. These are just a few of the common sense proposals that never saw the light of day thanks to Senator Howell.
Patrick has the sort of biography other candidates can only dream of possessing. A VMI graduate, he serves as an officer in the Coast Guard Reserve, but that's only scratching the surface of a life of public service. He was lead counsel for the federal E-Verify program, recently returned from working with Bhutanese refugees in southeastern Nepal, and is an instructor at the George Washington University.
A committed conservative, Patrick will fight to keep taxes low, attract new businesses and jobs to Virginia, and increase the focus on improving our transportation infrastructure. You can count on his votes - and you can count on his insistence on actually taking votes.
Patrick is off to a good start, but defeating Janet Howell won't be easy. To do it, he'll need your support. I will be campaigning with Patrick next week, and look forward to continuing to support and assist him and other great conservative candidates across our Commonwealth. Your contribution will help a great deal on the path to a conservative majority in the Senate of Virginia. Won't you give today?

Out With the "In"
This story appears in the April 2004 issue of Entrepreneur. Subscribe »
Without a doubt, you value your longtime employees. You know them, and they know you. When it comes down to it, your longtime employees are like family.
But families can be dysfunctional. New employees coming in can find there's an impenetrable "in" crowd: a close-knit group of longtime employees who have a clique, as well as the ear of management. "You can see which team members are together, who turns to whom, and who is left out," says Arlene Vernon, owner of HR and management consulting firm HRx Inc. in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.
The office "in" crowd is a subtle but deadly threat to morale, productivity and retention. The exact cost of this problem is hard to quantify because employees don't raise the issue during exit interviews. After all, who wants to say they're leaving because they don't think they fit in?
Don't think the "in" crowd will be a problem for your teamwork-driven company? Think again. "It happens frequently and for a variety of reasons," says ArLyne Diamond, founder of management consulting firm Diamond Associates in Santa Clara, California. "We create [relationships] and then close in around them. We've done it since we were kids."
In the Clique of Things
A strong relationship between longtime employees is good for teamwork and productivity, but it goes too far when recent hires feel excluded, both socially and professionally. Eventually, they will find the nearest exit.
Tom Womack knows the feeling. When he took a job with a 15-employee ad agency in Texas a few years ago, he discovered there was a group of longtime employees who ate lunch together and banded together on the job. The "in" crowd brushed off Womack's ideas and kept him at arm's length. "[The attitude] was 'We've been here longer than you, and we're in charge,'" he says. The company owner-a "really nice guy"-turned his head the other way. "He didn't want to deal with the conflict," says Womack, who believes the "in" crowd can have a harsher impact in small companies. "If there's a clique of six employees in an office of 12 people, there's nowhere else to go for relationships," he says. He left the company within one year and joined another company where he feels "a lot more harmony" with his co-workers.
A powerful "in" crowd is the result of companies failing to integrate new employees into the mix, Diamond says, and solving it requires a strategic approach. Think about creating a "work buddies" training system that pairs longtimers with new hires so they get to know each other. Give longtimers incentives-small gifts, recognition and so on-for making the effort. Also make integration an element of your performance review process. This way, raises, bonuses and promotions are linked to how well all employees have welcomed, trained and worked with new hires. "You have to model it, mandate it and reinforce it," Diamond says. "It's got to be top down." You'll be less likely to lose good ideas and good people this way.
Sepideh Asefnia is founder and president of Sepi Engineering Group Inc., a Raleigh, North Carolina, engineering firm that specializes in transportation design. The company has grown from two to 32 employees in three years. Like most entrepreneurs, Asefnia's early hires were former co-workers. "Everyone I started out with is still here," she says.
Asefnia, 41, has experienced "in" crowds at other places she's worked, and she's taking steps to prevent one from developing in her workplace. She follows her own golden rule: Never vent about personnel issues to longtime employees, because it would send the wrong message to them and the company's recent hires. She makes a point of asking new employees for input and stops by their desks regularly to chat. As an entrepreneur, whatever you do sets a cultural norm, and your actions can fuel the "in" crowd. "You have to make an effort to create that cohesive team you're going to grow with," says Asefnia, whose company generated sales of $2 million in 2003.
Are You In or Out?
Be aware that department managers can be members of the "in" crowd, befriending other longtime employees on (and off) the clock. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see why this is bad for morale. Let the manager know just how damaging it is, and that you expect better interaction with employees. Tie managerial performance to the ability to create inclusiveness across the employee base. Ask employees to rate their managers on these abilities once a year, too.
Outing the "in" crowd is one of the most important things you'll ever do as a leader, because it sets the tone for your company's culture and future growth. And it all starts with you. Says Asefnia: "It boils down to leadership."

Bonny Doon Vineyards is the umbrella underneath which winemaker-philosopher Randall Grahm has been experimenting since 1983. Grahm was an early adopter of screw cap closures, of ingredient listings on wine labels and of cryoextraction (freezing grapes before fermentation), but his greatest contribution lies in his championing of Rhone grape varieties in the Central Coast, and in California at large. His work with the Rhone Rangers — an organization that promotes these wines in California — even landed him on the cover of Wine Spectator in 1989, decked out as a real-life ranger, with mask, gun and horse in tow. At one time, his ventures included the mass-market successes Cardinal Zin, Big House and Pacific Rim, but Grahm sold those brands in order to re-focus Bonny Doon on its higher-end Le Cigare Volant line of wines. Today, Grahm's spirit of experimentation has led him to plant Popelouchum, a vineyard in San Benito County where the vintner ambitiously plans to breed grapes in order to discover California's best grape variety.
The Bonny Doon tasting room, on Highway 1 just north of Santa Cruz, offers the chance to taste the results of all those years of tinkering. There's Moscato; there's various styles of rosé; there's Pinot Meunier, rarely seen as a varietal wine here. Of course, there are plenty of Rhone-style wines, including the Chateauneuf-du-Pape-inspired Le Cigare Volant blends and a number of different Syrahs.
You can sidle up to the tasting bar, sink into a couch, or occupy one of the larger tables with your group. Explanatory plaques are interspersed among the room's steampunk-like wall decorations, complete with a photo booth that sits you inside of a spaceship. Behind the bar, a painting reminds customers of Grahm's many innovations, partially in pun form: "You give me Riesling to live!" Zany, colorful, personal and verbose: That's classic Randall Grahm.
WHAT TO TRY: The Doonster Flight ($10) includes the off-dry Moscato Giallo and the deeply fuchsia A Proper Pink, a rosé made from Tannat and Cabernet Franc. It's the right choice for those who enjoy a little sweetness to their wines. Otherwise, opt for the Flight of the Cigare ($20), which includes the lighter, Grenache-based rosé Vin Gris de Cigare, as well as an earthy Pinot Meunier from Napa. Both flights culminate in Cigare Volant blends with some bottle age (currently, they're pouring the 2009 vintage) and a varietal Syrah.
INSIDE INFO: If you sign up for the Bonny Doon wine club, you get to buy a bottle for one cent.

Wings of dragonflies and cicadas which resemble a bed of nails when seen through a microscope, have inspired scientists to invent an anti-bacterial nano-coating disinfectant capable of killing germs.
Scientists of A*STAR's Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN) of Singapore have been successful in making an anti-bacterial nano-coating that could be used to disinfect frequently touched surfaces such as door handles, tables and lift buttons.
"Studies have shown that the wings of dragonflies and cicadas prevent bacterial growth due to their natural structure. The surfaces of their wings are covered in nanopillars making them look like a bed of nails. When bacteria come into contact with these surfaces, their cell membranes get ripped apart immediately and they are killed," said A*STAR in a news release issued today.
Getting inspiration from the distinct property of these insects, a group of IBN scientists grew nanopillars of zinc oxide, a compound known for its anti-bacterial and non-toxic properties. The zinc oxide nanopillars can kill a broad range of germs like E. coli and S. aureus that are commonly transmitted from surface contact, according to A*STAR.
This technology will prove particularly useful in creating bacteria-free surfaces in places like hospitals and clinics, where sterilisation is important to help control the spread of infections.
About 80 per cent of common infections are spread by hands. Current disinfectants may also contain chemicals like triclosan which may lead to bacterial resistance and environmental contamination if used extensively, it stated in the media release.
Jackie Ying, IBN executive director, said, "There is an urgent need for a better way to disinfect surfaces without causing bacterial resistance or harm to the environment. This will help us to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases from contact with surfaces."
When the anti-bacterial nano-coating was tested on ceramic, glass, titanium and zinc surfaces, it was found that the coating effectively killed up to 99.9 per cent of germs found on the surfaces.
"As the bacteria are killed mechanically rather than chemically, the use of the nano coating would not contribute to environmental pollution. Also, the bacteria will not be able to develop resistance as they are completely destroyed when their cell walls are pierced by the nanopillars upon contact," said A*STAR in the media release.
The researchers studied the effect of placing a piece of zinc that had been coated with zinc oxide nanopillars into water containing E. coli. All the bacteria were killed, suggesting that this material could potentially be used for water purification, it added.
Dr Yugen Zhang has led the research team behind the invention. He said that the researchers hope to use the technology to create bacteria-free surfaces in a "safe, inexpensive and effective manner", especially in places where germs tend to accumulate.
National Research Foundation of Singapore has also given a grant to IBN to develop this coating technology, in collaboration with Tan Tock Seng Hospital, for commercial application over the next five years, according to the media release.

Talk:Scientific fascism
From Conservapedia
For the record, this is a personal term created by a Congressman within the past couple of weeks, which means it's probably going to be considered opinion unless there are other examples of scientists engaging in this sort of behavior beyond Climategate. In my opinion on the subject, there has to be the application of some form of force, intimidation, or coercion by one group upon another to be considered scientific fascism. Any thoughts? Karajou 02:30, 9 December 2009 (EST)
- As a personal term a Senator came up with as a sound byte for his planned speech or protest, is this worth making an actual article out of? Personally I feel it comes off as a little anti-science. --BMcP 08:38, 9 December 2009 (EST)
- It just might be that, which is why I asked for examples of similar incidents outside of Climategate. But I think it would be a dis-service to science in general not to expose these allegations. Imagine if an astronomer has found evidence to confirm a certain theory, and someone else tries to stop him from publishing the data or sharing his views with others. I think scientists - whether we disagree with them or not - should be free to do their work and publish their data without being hampered or restricted by anyone. Karajou 14:04, 9 December 2009 (EST)
- Oh I agree that going public about allegations of inappropriately is appropriate (as long as people remember that one is innocent until proven guilty), I am just not happy with the phrase in general, although as a sound byte I am not surprised at its use, as that's politics. I think everyone agrees that someone's research on their hypothesis should stand or fall based on the quality of their research and evidence. Fortunately even if someone may be quashed initially when actually having the evidence that a theory is right (or wrong), others will produce the same results and come to the same conclusions over time, because real evidence itself cannot lie, and eventually those who stand in the way will be discredited when that evidence becomes too overwhelming. --BMcP 17:41, 9 December 2009 (EST)

Today is the final day of Breast Cancer Awareness month. As I was doing my early morning perusal of news, I came upon this article in USA Today: Sexy breast cancer campaigns anger many patients. There were two words in the headline that caught my attention, campaigns and patients.
I want to be careful as I write this because I am not downplaying campaigns to raise awareness to a disease or to educate people to watch for their health. Yes, I guess I am enough of an old fogey to find all the talk of "boobies" and "tatas" to be embarrassingly over the top, but perhaps there is a point that it gets the message to a younger generation. At the same time, I trust is does not really take a gimmick to inform them of something so serious.
However, it wasn't the primary thesis of the article that got me to thinking. It was this statement by Lana Horn, a breast cancer survivor, "Save the tatas? No, save the women. A lot of us had to give up our tatas to live." This thought encapsulates my motivation for starting the I Do It For Foundation.
It seems that in many ways as we have waged war on cancer we have lost our way in a marketing machine. The campaign has become such a focus that we have forgotten the people. It is easy for us to lose sight of the needs of individuals when we are attacking a huge enemy.
We may find ourselves sitting in a marketer's conference room thinking of how a certain slogan sounds so hip while forgetting the effect that it may have on the very people we are trying to help. "Yeah, that will really advance our cause!" However, maybe at times it is good to set the "cause" aside and focus on people.
The I Do It For Foundation wants to do just that. We want to make the people with the problem the focus. Yes, there is marketing involved. There may even be some nifty slogans. However, we want it to be done to lift up and encourage. We want to draw attention to the individual and not the problem they face.
I am thankful for those organizations fighting the larger battle — especially those focused on direct research. I hope that I Do It For will be used to support some of those groups. However, my dream is that the foundation will be used by thousands to show their love and give tangible support to individuals who need it during a time of trial.
It's not about the tatas. It is about people like Lana Horn… and most likely, someone you love.
I am not a ribbon, a color, or a disease.
I am a person. I have a name.
Do it for me.

New York Times columnist Paul Krugman points to a new paper arguing that taxes on the top earners should be set at levels that maximize the revenue collected from them.
He writes:
Mark Thoma sends us to the new Journal of Economic Perspectives paper (pdf) on optimal taxes by Peter Diamond and Emmanuel Saez. It's a tough read (I'm still working on it myself), but there's one discussion that I think helps make a useful point about current political debate.
In the first part of the paper, D&S analyze the optimal tax rate on top earners. And they argue that this should be the rate that maximizes the revenue collected from these top earners — full stop.
Why? Because if you're trying to maximize any sort of aggregate welfare measure, it's clear that a marginal dollar of income makes very little difference to the welfare of the wealthy, as compared with the difference it makes to the welfare of the poor and middle class.
So to a first approximation policy should soak the rich for the maximum amount — not out of envy or a desire to punish, but simply to raise as much money as possible for other purposes.
Now, this doesn't imply a 100 percent tax rate, because there are going to be behavioral responses – high earners will generate at least somewhat less taxable income in the face of a high tax rate, either by actually working less or by pushing their earnings underground. Using parameters based on the literature, D&S suggest that the optimal tax rate on the highest earners is in the vicinity of 70%.
There are lots of problems with this idea. But I want to focus on how it looks from the perspective of modern monetary theory (MMT), the school of economics that pays very close attention to how government spending, taxing and borrowing actually operates.
One of the key insights of the MMT school is that government's that control their own currency do not fund their operations with tax dollars. All government spending is really done with newly created dollars. Dollars collected in taxes are not spent, they are destroyed in order to prevent too many dollars from circulating.
This idea is a bit confusing at first so I'll expand on it a bit.
When the U.S. Treasury Dept. writes a check, it is cleared by the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserveclears this check by entering a deposit amount in a digital spreadsheet that represents the amount of money held by the bank in which the check's recipient deposited it.
Obviously, the federal government conducts tons of transactions. In fact, it is the largest financial transactor in the world. There are lots of complicated operations that go on every day related to this process, made all the more complicated because the Treasury now deposits almost of all of its fund with private banks. It then has to estimate each day what funds it wants to withdraw from the private banks and deposit with the Federal Reserve, so that the Federal Reserve can clear payments on government obligations.
But the reason for this is interesting and important. The Treasury deposits tax receipts in the private banking system because without those deposits, too much cash would be drained from the system. That is, too much cash would sit on deposit at the Fed and banks wouldn't have the liquidity they need to service customer needs.
The operational aspects of this are very complex. You can read about them in this paper from the Federal Reserve.
But the main thing to know is there is no necessary tax constraint on the Federal Reserve crediting a bank with payment from the Federal government. Banks can be credited regardless of whether the Treasury has collected funds through borrowing or taxes or not at all because all crediting the banks means is increasing amounts on digital spreadsheets. When money has no commodity backing — that is, when the amount of money isn't limited by some real link to, say, gold — there's no connection between money collected and money spent.
There's not a bunch of stuff sitting somewhere that the government needs to move around when it collects taxes or spends.
Taxes, then, don't really "fund" government spending in any real sense. In fact, it's easier to think of taxes as a way of government destroying excess money. If the government didn't levy taxes on people, the newly created money would just represent an increase in the money supply. This would raise the danger of rising prices because the money supply would be inflated.
So the argument Krugman raises to justify a "soak the rich" tax policy is inapplicable. We don't need to "raise as much money as possible for other purposes." Because we don't need to raise money at all.
But what should be the tax policy for the top earners from an MMT perspective? I think the answer would arise from three questions. First, who can best afford to have their wealth destroyed to combat inflation? Second, who benefits most from money creation, and therefore deserves to pay more to combat its benefits? Third, how much money do we need to destroy through taxes to avoid inflation?
The answer to the first question is exactly the same as Krugman's answer to his question. The marginal dollar at the upper end of the income spread is worth less to those that earn it than those at the bottom end. So they can "afford" to have their wealth destroyed.
The answer to the second question actually points to a subset of the same group. In the modern economy, financial institutions tend to be the primary and secondary beneficiaries of government spending and money creation. Highly leveraged institutions benefit from inflation.
Banks see deposit inflows. And it just so happens that the financial sector produces a lot of the people in the top income brackets.
But the third question — how much do we need to tax to prevent unwanted inflation — undermines the entire study Krugman is pointing to. If the goal isn't revenue maximization but inflation management, the entire matter changes. It's commonplace that the wealthy often save greater proportions of their income, which means that additional income earned is less likely to lead to increasing prices. The marginal dollars of top earners are less inflationary than marginal dollars at the bottom income brackets.
In short, the modern monetary theory school — which is often portrayed, even by its advocates, as a progressive branch of economics — may justify far lower taxes for the wealthy than the Krugmanite approach.

Not a big horror movie kind of person, but As Above, So Below looks really good. It also doesn't hurt that I really wanted to see the catacombs when I was in Paris, and my friends vetoed it. Possibly with good reason…It isn't that I don't like horror movies, I just tend to let my imagination get carried away with my when they're over. Maybe if I find something lighthearted enough to watch after?
'Til next time,

Bullet For My Valentine Puts Metal Twist on Imagine Dragon's "Radioactive"
This crossover makes perfect sense with their new direction
July 9, 2018
Welsh rockers Bullet For My Valentine are hot off the release of their latest album, Gravity.
The deluxe boxset edition of this thrashingly innovative album features an unexpected cover that's now available on YouTube. The band's take on Imagine Dragon's smash hit "Radioactive" fits perfectly with their new direction and adds a heavy flare to a song that's almost impossible to overplay. Almost.
Listen to the bonus track below:
The crossover makes a lot of sense with Bullet's newfound introduction of more synth and electronic elements but has received very mixed reviews from fans. Regardless, the band has noted their pride in their new direction and are continuing to push themselves by taking risks even after 20 years together.

STRATFORD is bidding to become a city as part of a nationwide contest to celebrate the Queen's golden jubilee next year.
The Queen will grant city status to four towns as part of the celebrations for her 50-year reign.
At a meeting next week, Stratford Town Council will discuss its entry into the competition.
Then it will need everyone in Shakespeare's town to get behind the bid.
To win city status towns must prove they have features of regional and national significance, historical features and a forward-looking attitude. There must also be strong support from people living in the town.
Population size will not be taken into account unless there is a dead heat between finalists.
The matter was discussed at the town council's general purposes committee earlier this month and will be taken up again on Tuesday
Some councillors were concerned that having city status would not be in keeping with the market town atmosphere.
Others thought it might make it harder to stop tracts of land in Stratford being set aside for development.
But the committee backed a resolution supporting an entry into the competition.
Cllr Juliet Short (Con, New Town), a member of the general purposes committee, said: "We are going to leave it to the residents to decide whether to enter the competition. I think it would be a good thing for Stratford.
"Our foreign visitors always refer to us as a city. We have heritage, royal connections and a positive outlook. But we will only do it if our residents think it is a good idea. Otherwise it's a waste of time."
Anyone wanting to give their views about a city status bid is asked to write to Stratford Town Council, 14 Rother Street, Stratford, CV37 6LU.

Asterix And The Vikings أستريكس والفايكنج مدبلج للعربية
The story was adapted from the graphic novel Asterix and the Normans
As the story begins, the Vikings are depressed because in raid after raid they find the locations devoid of people. Cryptograf, an advisor to Viking chief Timandahaf, says that the enemies are always gone because, "Fear gives them wings". Timandahaf excitedly concludes that they must find a "Champion of Fear", who can teach them to be great cowards so they can fly, making them invincible. The chief says he'll give anything to whoever can bring him this Champion of Fear. Cryptograf hatches a secret plan to seize power and tells the chief they'll find the Champion of Fear in Gaul.
Though the Vikings know no fear, they kidnap the foppish nephew of the Gauls' chief to teach them how to flee for their lives from the invading Romans.
After another raid in an empty village, the chief of the Vikings Timandahaf misunderstands the explanation of his druid Cryptograf that "fear gives wings to the dwellers" and believes that fear actually makes the villagers fly. They decide to chase the champion of fear in Gaul to learn how to fly and make them invincible warriors. Meanwhile, the nephew of Vitalstatistix, Justforkix, is sent from Parisium to the Gaulish village to become a man and Asterix and Obelix are assigned to train the youngster. The stupid son of Cryptograf, Olaf, listens to a conversation of the coward Justforkix with Asterix and Obelix and kidnaps him. While returning to the Viking village, Justforkix meets Abba, the daughter of Timandahaf, and they fall in love for each other. But the Machiavellian and ambitious Cryptograf plan to marry his son Olaf with Abba and become powerful. In the end, Asterix realizes that it is not fear that gives wings, it is love

text: Much Music Video Awards: A Breakdown of Gigi Hadid's Designer Outfits 10:39 AM PDT 6/20/2016 by Stephanie Chan FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME George Pimentel/WireImage/Getty Images The evening's host looked her best yet. On Sunday night, Gigi Hadid stepped out for the Much Music Video Awards in Toronto, where she made her debut as a music awards show host. With such an important task at hand, it was only appropriate that the 21-year-old model had the right amount of outfit options for her onstage presence. Styled by Monica Rose, who's known for her work with the Kardashians, Hadid dazzled onstage. Here, a look at what the supermodel wore for her hosting gig. Hadid arrived for the red carpet, wearing a fire engine-red Mugler suit that made her look like a total boss. Plus, the ensemble had enough leg room that it even allowed her to get down on both knees and pose with fans. She then changed into a suede powder blue August Getty two-piece and a coat (also by the L.A.-based designer) that she wore off the shoulders. Given her fit figure, Hadid made sure to show off her toned abs in a paint-splattered Uel Camilo outfit. The Rihanna x Manolo Blahnik denim-embellished booties completed her sexy wardrobe. Because Hadid is never shy about taking a fashion risk, the model donned a laced coil wetsuit and thigh-high glove boots from Australian designer Dion Lee's resort 2017 collection. One can never be too prepared for a post-show swim, right? Hadid then showed off her regal side in a plunging tailcoat with gold sequin details and matching white ankle pants by Italian designer Elisabetta Franchi. A Jennifer Fisher choker completed the look. Last, but certainly not least, the runway pro showed off her gams in a silver sequined Alexandre Vauthier mini dress and practically-invisible Lucite heels.

Ze'ev Jabotinsky
Born Vladimir Yevgenyevich Zhabotinsky (18 October 1880 – 4 August 1940), Ze'ev Jabotinsky was a Revisionist Zionist leader, Jewish author, poet, orator and founded the Jewish Self-Defence Organization in Odessa, a terrorist group that fended ethnic Europeans from their ancestral land-it is curious that feeling so 'insecure' in Europe rather than leave the Jewish guest terrorises his host from his Nation. Jabotinsky was elected as a Russian delegate to the Sixth Zionist Congress in Basel, Switzerland in 1903 and in 1905 he was one of the co-founders of the "Union for Rights Equality of Jewish People in Russia". The following year he was one of the chief speakers at the 3rd All-Russian Conference of Zionists in Helsinki (Helsingfors) calling upon the Jews of Europe to engage in Gegenwartsarbeit (work in the present) and to join together. With Joseph Trumpeldor, Jabotinsky founded the Jewish Legion of the British army in World War I and later established several Jewish organizations, including Betar, Hatzohar and the Irgun.

A great deal of individuals have actually asked to an option to spider rigging and live baits. In this video you will find out more a couple of suggestions and techniques to capture fish in shallow water with synthetic baits!
Crappie Fishing – Spider Rig VS Bobber
Seems funny that the guy who is selling all the rods to us people spider
rigging would make a video about single polling
What state is this in
Truman lake is in Missouri
Good tips and information, Thanks! I subbed
how do you work it with the jig and bobber
spider rigs are just a lighter version of the oldest catfish rig ever. it's
just like drifting for cats
GREAT VID! I too like to feel the strike, swim a bait and so forth. I
started crappie fishing back in the 60's when ultra lights were a "new
thing", we caught plenty of fish with 5-5.5 ft rods. If they were really
up in the willows we would rig up a fly rod so I see the merit to both
approaches and use both myself (although I don't spider rig, more of a
doodle socker). But if a person wants to catch crappie in heavy brush over
ten feet deep they'd better learn to swim a jig on a short stick.
Nice tip. I tend to think like a fly fisherman using just one rod in hand
all the time. I like slip floats as well. I tend to do better with one rod
than 10, lol. I fish similarly to this for channel catfish.
Do you guys fish with slip float often? I make them out of old wine corks:
In 55 degree weather, feb 6th 2016, Alabama Southern Crappie, how deep
would you recommend fishing? Live Minnows it would be and the water is high
and a little murky since the rainfall recently. But they guy said they are
catching 3lbs.
Also, recommend using jig head or minnow hooks in murky water? And if jig
heads, what size would be good?
Excellent video!!!!!!!
ain't nothing better than fishing… great video 2 thumbs up all the way
would have been nice to see how they were actually working the lure.
I fish and hunt here nice place
AWESOME I love this video. I wish we had crappie here in Australia. You
American blokes inspire me!
