Delaware is a state located on the Atlantic Coast in the Mid-Atlantic and Southern regions of the United States of America. Delaware is named for Thomas West, 3rd Baron De La Warr. Population estimates by the Census Bureau for 2005 place the population of Delaware at 843,524, moving from the 45th most populous state at the 2000 Census to the 46th most populous. Despite this, it is the 7th most densely populated state with a population density of 320 more people per square mile than the national average, ranking ahead of states such as Florida, California, and Texas. Delaware was one of the original Thirteen Colonies and is known as the "First State", officially referring to the fact that it was the first to ratify the United States Constitution. Even though the states were already known as such prior to the Constitution, the motto itself is still historically accurate, as Delaware was indeed the first state to ratify the Articles of Confederation, the first legal document establishing the new American political entities as "states" (although the Declaration of Independence refers to them as "States"). Commemorating Delaware's ratification, Constitution Park (one block from where Dover's Golden Fleece Tavern once stood) features a four-foot cube upon which is inscribed the entire document as it has evolved.

The quality of art is excellent and the printed item very good. What's not so good was the delivery. Fine Art America failed to include my address which meant that the posted item ended up lost in the post. Luckily my phone number had been printed ? so the local sorting office very gratuitously called me to arrange delivery. Not impressed with the posting.

This is Philippine drifter Ian King. His country is known for its Japanese nostalgic car scene, but he owns an E39 M5. As you can see, this hasn't kept him from burning tires up mountain passes - even when he's barefoot.
According to CustomPinoyRides.com, this video was just a spur-of-the-moment idea, and King didn't even bother getting shoes on before driving to the Caliraya Mountain pass where this was filmed. Adding to the coolness factor of the slides, King never pulled the handbrake during this video; he kicked the clutch to get the car sideways for every drift.

Ga. – Ian Clarkin (2013, James Madison H.S., Calif.) notched three
base hits as the San Diego Show (4-0-1) defeated Baseball Parks of
America (0-4-1) 5-2 in a Monday evening pool M matchup at the 2012
WWBA 17u National Championship.
teammate, right-hander Michael Martin (2013, Cathedral Catholic H.S.,
Calif.) did his part as well, scattering seven hits in a seven-inning
complete game outing.
Be it
as a position player or a left-handed pitcher, competing at a high
level is nothing new for Clarkin, who verbally committed to the
University of San Diego as a sophomore in Dec. 2010.
June 2010, Clarkin attended his first Perfect Game event, the 2010
Sunshine West Showcase, following his freshman season at James
Madison. Standing at a six-foot-one, 160 pounds, Clarkin's fastball
topped out at 84 mph while his changeup was clocked in at 76. One
Perfect Game scout remarked that Clarkin had a projectable body as
well as projectable velocity.
following summer, Clarkin continued to show progress as a ballplayer.
He added several miles per hour to his fastball, peaking at 88 mph at
the 2011 Sunshine West Showcase. Additionally, he later made his
presence known as a reliever in a 2011 WWBA 17u National Championship
first round playoff game against Team Mizuno Midwest.
a one-out, bases-loaded jam in the fifth inning, Clarkin punched out
two straight batters to escape that pinch unscathed. In the next
frame, all Clarkin did was proceed to strike out the side. The Show
won 5-3 that day.
the end of that summer, Clarkin also threw at the 2011 Perfect Game
National Games, earning Most Valuable Pitcher honors on his team.
his junior campaign at James Madison, Clarkin began a busy 2012
summer by attending the 2012 Sunshine West Showcase in the second
week of June. Yet again he showed improvement with his pitching,
leading one Perfect Game scout to note that the lefty "gets good
armside run on his fastball when it's down in the zone."
a week later, Clarkin travled to Minneapolis, Minn., for the 2012
National Showcase, where Clarkin said he did not have his best
performance. Less than a week down the road, Clarkin earned some
redemption as he threw well enough at the USA Baseball Tournament of
Stars in Cary, N.C., to make the cut for the 40-man roster. In three
innings on the bump, Clarkin fanned five while walking one.
did extremely well," said Clarkin of his performance in North
Carolina last month.
who now is listed at six-foot-two, 190 pounds, carried the positive
momentum into this month's 2012 WWBA 17u National Championship. In
his first outing of the tournament on July 6, Clarkin got the
starting nod on the hill for his team and impressed, striking out 11
in six one-hit innings against the Middle Georgia Titans 2013s. A
Perfect Game scout said Clarkin "had good command and really knows
how to pitch."
ranked by Perfect Game as the number 42 prospect amongst class of
2013 high school players as well as number 10 in the state of
California, Clarkin sounded as firm as ever in his commitment to San
Diego following Monday night's game.
love the coaches to death; I get to play in front of my home fans;
campus is absolutely gorgeous; and the club is going to be heading to
Omaha, Neb., in two years," said Clarkin, listing the reasons for
his pledge to San Diego.
member of the San Diego Show since his freshman year, Clarkin said he
is enjoying being a part of this summer's team.
man I love this team," Clarkin said. "This is probably one of my
most favorite teams that I've been on. This tournament is exciting.
After our tie, we've absolutely just been creaming teams."
Cain, the Show's coach on Monday as well as the organization's
founder, was effusive in his praise of Clarkin.
the mound, he's got the heart of a lion," said Cain of Clarkin.
"He comes at you; he does not want to get beat; and he takes things
personal. He's going to make it someday- barring injury- because
he's got drive.
always felt like there are some guys who are bigger, stronger and
maybe have a little bit more projectability than him, but he felt
like he was always to make up for that in work ethic. He is just a
asked about his goals for between this tournament and June 2013,
Clarkin made it clear that he still has plenty of work to do to
continue getting better.
over the offseason, it's all about working out," Clarkin said.
"Working as hard as I possibly can because you only get to do this
a couple of times, and you don't want to miss your opportunity.
From here to June is just going to be complete hard work, complete
focus and nothing else besides that."

Lance Armstrong
Tour de Cycling - MondaySubmitted by admin on Mon, 04/20/2009 - 07:39
- France TV: Agreement "likely" that will allow Lance Armstrong to start the Tour de France
On yesterday's Stade2 program on France 2 television, there was a discussion of the French Anti-Doping Agency (AFLD) case vs. Lance Armstrong with regard to sample collection protocol in mid-March. Stade2 reporters talked to AFLD president Pierre Bordry, two-time Tour champion and TV consultant Laurent Fignon, a couple of French riders and other French athletes about the case. The UCI and Tour organizer A.S.O. did not respond to requests for interviews for the program. Armstrong continues to enjoy very wide support among his peers in the sports world, including in France, with everyone expressing surprise at how many times he has been tested in recent months. Fignon commented that the situation "is not good for cycling, not good for Armstrong, not good for anyone." A Stade2 reporter commented that though the AFLD, as previously reported, will announce its decision on what to do in early May, it now appears likely that all sides will come to an agreement permitting Armstrong to be at the start line of the Tour. The program also briefly covers the recent Tyler Hamilton positive and retirement announcement.
- The Bos/Impey crash poll has been closed due to evidence of several hundred votes coming from the same IP address this afternoon. (not difficult to do) The poll was never going to be scientific anyway but did we forget to ask people not to vote 300 times?
2009 Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré
Organizers of the Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré today officially unveiled the route for the 2009 edition of the race, June 7-14. The race will include a 12.1km opening time trial in the city of Nancy, a 42.4km time trial around the city of Valence, and a stage to Mont Ventoux. The race thus shares with the 2009 Tour de France an opening time trial instead of a prologue (prologues are limited to 8km), a 40km+ long time trial and a stage finish on Ventoux (the penultimate stage in the case of the TDF), making the Dauphiné a good preparation race for the Tour, as it typically is.
June 7, Stage 1: Nancy, 12.1 km Individual TT
June 8, Stage 2: Nancy - Dijon, 228 km
June 9, Stage 3: Tournus - Saint-Etienne, 182 km
June 10, Stage 4: Bourg-lès-Valence - Valence, 42,4 km Individual Time Trial
June 11, Stage 5: Valence-Mont Ventoux, 154 km
June 12, Stage 6: Gap - Briançon, 106 km
June 13, Stage 7: Briançon - Saint-François-Longchamp, 157 km
June 14, Stage 8: Faverges - Grenoble, 146 km
19 teams will be competing this year, with the BMC team added to the automatically qualified 18 UCI ProTeams. Riders that might be expected on the start line include Alberto Contador, Cadel Evans, Sylvain Chavanel, David Millar, Cyril Dessel, David Moncoutié, Sandy Casar, and Robert Gesink.

- Regarding yesterday's crash at the Tour of Turkey (links to video and our poll below), race winner Daryl Impey (Barloworld) has given his version of events:
"I got taken down deliberately by Bos from Rabobank, you can even see it on youtube, only one word for him and that is a true chophead. He doesn't deserve to race anymore and I am thinking about going to the UCI about his dangerous riding. He tried to pass me 700m to go in the bunch sprint but there was no-where to go and all of a sudden I felt a hand on my shoulder pulling me into the barriers. We both crashed." More here.
Armstrong plans return at Tour of ItalySubmitted by admin on Fri, 04/10/2009 - 16:15
"I go out on the bike every day and ride just like I did before (the injury). I don't want to fall on it again right now, but I think it will be fine for the Tour of Italy. I fully anticipate being there and being strong and fit and being ready to race."

Armstrong to race Tour de Castille et Leon with ContadorSubmitted by admin on Wed, 03/04/2009 - 00:34
Astana has announced the following changes to Lance Armstrong's pre-Giro racing schedule:
- Armstrong will race the Tour de Castille et Leon (Vuelta a Castilla y León, Spain, March 23-27) alongside teammate Alberto Contador. This race will allow Armstrong to test himself in a time trial and mountaintop finishes. Contador had previously expressed a desire to race with Armstrong prior to July's Tour de France.
- Armstrong will NOT race the 2009 Critérium International (France, March 28-29).
- Armstrong will NOT race the 2009 Tour of Flanders (Ronde van Vlaanderen, Belgium, April 5). (Ed. - This is not a surprise as Armstrong told French sports daily L'Equipe a month ago that he would likely skip Flanders in order to return to the U.S. earlier.)

Eddy Merckx: Lance Armstrong to race Tour of Qatar next yearSubmitted by admin on Mon, 02/09/2009 - 16:13
There seems little doubt that Lance Armstrong will continue racing into 2010. According to an Agence France-Presse (AFP) story today, Armstrong told cycling great Eddy Merckx yesterday that he will race in next year's Tour of Qatar. Merckx, for years a close friend of Armstrong's, assists with the organization of the race. The two spoke by phone as Armstrong dined with Merckx's son, Axel. Merckx added that had Armstrong not raced the Tour Down Under last month, he'd have raced in Qatar this year.
Lance Armstrong and girlfriend Anna Hansen expecting June babySubmitted by admin on Wed, 12/24/2008 - 03:22
Agence France-Presse (AFP) has the story this morning, confirming a story at CNN: Lance Armstrong and his girlfriend Anna Hansen are expecting a baby in June. (ie, just before the 2009 Tour de France)
"Anna et moi sommes ravis de confirmer que nous attendons un bébé en juin et nos familles sont folles de joie et très heureuses", a déclaré Armstrong. (Their respective families are crazy happy.)
French Media Fascinated by Armstrong ComebackSubmitted by pete geyer on Tue, 12/23/2008 - 16:23
Paris (cyclingfans.com) - The French media (notably television) are already falling over themselves to cover the Lance Armstrong comeback story. Armstrong, no doubt, will be the biggest story French sports journalists cover in 2009 and they know it. French radio, television, print and internet journalists are following Armstrong's every step. And Armstrong is feeding them (as well as his fans and detractors worldwide) as if they were pigeons in a Paris park via his Twitter feed.
A lucky few will get exclusive access to the 7-time Tour de France champion in the form of lengthy interviews.
Longtime journalists for French sports daily L'Equipe, accustomed in another era long ago to informal interviews of star cyclists over a drink in a bar, resented the relatively limited access they had to Armstrong during his seven Tour de France victories; they often had to go to the old Paceline website like everyone else to get the latest Armstrong news. And by the time they filed their stories, a million bloggers worldwide had already covered the story. Oh la la, it was the end of journalism!
And now they have to consume his Twitter feed like everyone else? (Would you like fries with that, Jean-François?) Mon dieu!
Many individual journalists here will continue to resent the limited access they have to Armstrong in 2009 but the media they work for are fascinated by Armstrong's return. Hero or outlaw, it doesn't matter. The French love westerns. Armstrong of course knows by now which French journalists are "friendly" and which are not. Nearly all of them will tip-toe carefully around the champion for fear of having the door shut entirely on their access to the subject of their biggest story of the next year.
There's always Twitter.

Second Dog Removed From the Home of Brick Couple Charged with Neglect
A second dog is removed from the home of a Brick couple facing charges for the near fatal neglect of another.
According to the Asbury Park Press, Keith Morgan and his wife Shauna Ewing Morgan consented to the removal of a 3-year-old Cocker Spaniel named Ady Thursday. A Monmouth County SPCA official says he received anonymous tips about the second dog.
Victor Amato, chief humane law enforcement officer for the Monmouth County SPCA, told the Star Ledger that Ady was recently groomed so it was hard to tell if he had been abused as well.However, Amato does not not believe additional charges will be filed against the Morgans.
The couple was arrested by the Monmouth County Prosecutors Office last week on counts of abandonment, failure to provide sustenance and causing unnecessary suffering to an animal. Keith Morgan turned the 13-year-old Cocker Spaniel named Samurai to a Veterinary Hospital but originally told them he saw someone abandon the dog on the roadside in Wall in a plastic bag, malnourished, weak and covered in his own feces.
The Red Bank Veterinary Hospital reports that Sammy continues to make progress. According to an update on their Facebook page, he continues to eat and drink on his own.

Reports that the Packers would promote quarterback Scott Tolzien from their practice squad started shortly after Aaron Rodgers was injured, although there was some thought that Green Bay might move in another direction when former backup Matt Flynn became available.
Flynn cleared waivers after being cut by the Bills, leaving him available to be signed as a free agent but the Packers have stuck to the original plan. They announced Wednesday that Tolzien has been added to the 53-man roster. The Packers had an open roster spot after activating tackle Derek Sherrod from the PUP list and placing a pair of players on injured reserve Tuesday.
According to various reports, the Packers have some worries about the state of Flynn's arm. He's been sidelined in each of the last two preseasons by elbow problems and his familiarity with Mike McCarthy's system wouldn't do the team much good if his arm isn't healthy enough to make the necessary throws.
Tolzien, who has never played in a regular season game, is expected to back up Seneca Wallace.

Roger Woodson and Jacques Kelly were arrested on federal charges related to their alleged participation in two separate mortgage fraud schemes involving the purchase of numerous residential properties in New Haven, Connecticut.
On February 24, 2012, a federal grand jury sitting in New Haven returned a five-count superseding indictment charging Roger Woodson, also known as "Kwame Nkrumah," 55, Meriden, Connecticut; Charmain Davis, 53, Waterbury, Connecticut; and Jacques Kelly, 46, Poughkeepsie, New York, with conspiracy and fraud offenses. The indictment was unsealed following the arrests of Woodson and Davis. Kelly was originally charged by indictment in October 2011.
The indictment alleges that, from approximately September 2006 to July 2008, Woodson, Kelly, Ronald E. Hutchison, Jr., and others conspired to commit mail and wire fraud relating to purchases of numerous homes in New Haven. As part of the conspiracy and in connection with these purchases, Woodson, Kelly, Hutchison, and others received millions of dollars in residential real estate loans by submitting materially false loan applications, fictitious leases, and false down payments to mortgage lenders.
The defendants disguised from mortgage lenders the true sales price of the houses through the use of two HUD-1 forms, only one of which was sent to the lender, and secret contract addenda. In addition, the buyers often received payments at closing, but those payments were not disclosed to the mortgage lender.
The indictment alleges, in part, that the co-conspirators entered into sales contracts with property sellers for prices that were higher than the actual prices the sellers received at closing. The co-conspirators then executed contract addenda that reflected the actual, lower prices. While the sales contracts bearing the contract price would be disclosed to mortgage lenders, the contract addenda were never disclosed.
The indictment further alleges that, from approximately September 2006 to July 2008, Woodson and Davis, who acted as a mortgage broker, fraudulently obtained more than $1 million in real estate loans in connection with the purchase of additional New Haven properties. As part of the scheme, Woodson, Davis and others submitted fraudulent loan applications, HUD-1 forms, employment verification forms and other documentation to mortgage lenders to obtain financing to purchase properties.
Also, as the mortgage broker, Davis submitted loan applications to lenders that falsely stated the borrower's intention to reside in the subject property, and that failed to disclose a complete listing of the borrowers assets and liabilities, including other residential mortgages that Davis brokered for the same borrower.
Woodson and Kelly are charged with one count of conspiracy, one count of mail fraud and one count of wire fraud, and Woodson and Davis are charged with one count of conspiracy and one count of mail fraud. Each of these charges carries a maximum term of imprisonment of 20 years.
The indictment also contains a forfeiture allegation that requires Woodson and Kelly, if convicted of any count of the indictment, to forfeit property and/or a money judgment of at least $5 million, as proceeds of this alleged scheme. If convicted, Davis is subject to forfeiture of at least $800,000.
On January 10, 2012, Hutchison pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy. He awaits sentencing.
U.S. Attorney Fein stressed that an indictment is not evidence of guilt. Charges are only allegations, and each defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
David B. Fein, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, announced the arrests.
This case is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the United States Postal Inspection Service, and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development-Office of Inspector General. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney David T. Huang and Special United States Attorney Jonathan N. Francis.
In July 2009, the U.S. Attorney's Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation announced the formation of the Connecticut Mortgage Fraud Task Force to investigate and prosecute mortgage fraud cases and related financial crimes occurring in Connecticut. Citizens are encouraged to report any suspected mortgage fraud activity by calling 203-333-3512 and requesting the Connecticut Mortgage Fraud Task Force, or by sending an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Connecticut Mortgage Fraud Task Force includes representatives from the U.S. Attorney's Office; Federal Bureau of Investigation; Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation; U.S. Postal Inspection Service; U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development-Office of Inspector General; Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation-Office of Inspector General; and State of Connecticut Department of Banking.
This case was brought in coordination with the President's Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force, which was established to wage an aggressive and coordinated effort to investigate and prosecute financial crimes. The task force includes representatives from a broad range of federal agencies, regulatory authorities, inspectors general, and state and local law enforcement who, working together, bring to bear a powerful array of criminal and civil enforcement resources. The task force is working to improve efforts across the federal executive branch, and with state and local partners, to investigate and prosecute significant financial crimes, ensure just and effective punishment for those who perpetrate financial crimes, combat discrimination in the lending and financial markets, and recover proceeds for victims of financial crimes.

t-grip barbell
T-Grip Barbell - Parallel grip or neutral grip pressing has been around for a long time; and there are different bars, logs and machines that are used for parallel grip pressing or pulling. Ninety-nine percent of these bars are spin-offs of the widely known multi parallel grip triceps bar with the rectangle center.
However, the innovative designs of T-Grip Barbells are different than any other parallel grip bar. The T-Grip barbell has the advantage of a straight bar in the center, between the vertical handles. This will enable you to perform certain movements and exercises that are difficult or impossible to perform with other parallel grip bars.
The T-Grip Barbell is the only parallel grip bar that can be used as an Olympic sized ez-curl bar, which makes this auniversal bar that can be used for the widest range of exercises.
The T-Grip bar was designed specifically to have the feel and look of the traditional Olympic barbell with vertical handles. The ergonomic placement of the handles on the single-handle T-Grip bar is set for the average person or athlete; the double-handle bar has the option of a narrow or wider grip.
The look and feel of the T-Grip barbell is like no other. The comfortable knurled handles will allow you to perform yourtraining with confidence, as you work with the strength, stability and balance of the T-Grip barbell. All T-Grip products have precision-machined parts made from premium steel, and all welds and fabrication are of the highest quality. Each T-Grip Barbell has the Trademark logo metal-stamped on it. This ensures that you have purchased an original patent pending T-Grip barbell – one of the fastest growing brands in the fitness world.

On Thursday's Vampire Diaries, Bonnie's quest to lower the veil to the other side and bring an end to Silas leads to the return of some familiar faces — and an unexpected deadly consequence.
RELATED | Season Finale Scoopapalooza: More Than 100 Spoilers on Your Fave Series' Endgames, Including The Vampire Diaries, Castle, How I Met Your Mother, Nashville and More!
Some of the ghosts like Alaric and Jeremy come back bearing good feelings and wanting to look out after their loved ones. Fitting, the former first appears to Damon, but the vamp thinks it's Silas pretending to be his old drinking buddy. To prove to Damon he's really himself, Alaric pops open a locker and takes out a bottle of alcohol.
"Would Silas know about locker 42?" he asks and the two hug. Aww, now this feels warm and right.
Alaric explains that the veil has only been lowered inside the expression triangle and that not every ghost has a reason to come back to Mystic Falls (aka, they couldn't get everyone back, OK?). But a few do have one very good motive for a comeback: Vengeance. Kol makes a beeline for Elena, interrupting Matt and Rebekah's candlelit moment to get her whereabouts. He stabs Matt in his throwing arm, but the football player still refuses Rebekah's healing help because he'd like to graduate high school as a human. Kol eventually finds Elena and almost snaps her neck, but Jer swoops in with his crossbow.
"How many times do I need to kill you?" he exclaims.
Meanwhile, vampire hunters Alexander, Connor and Vaughn also have less-than-kind intentions, cornering Rebekah and Matt in the town square.
Among the others visiting from the ghostly plane: Stefan's pal Lexi, who gives him a little ribbing about her "cute" blonde replacement Caroline — seriously, show, are you going to go there with those two or what? — and Grams, who fails to stop Bonnie's efforts to keep the veil down and thereby keep Jer around. The ensuing spell takes so much power out of the witch that she ends becoming a ghost herself! Yes, Bonnie appears to be dead!
Meanwhile, the Gilbert siblings' heart-to-heart finally gets Elena's mind off killing Katherine. She's finally back to her old self, but thankfully, before that, we got a fantastic scene in which Elena almost takes out her doppelganger, who's connected to Bonnie. Stefan arrives in time to stop her from killing both Katherine and Bonnie.
"Thanks for the save, handsome," replies Katherine like a 1950s vixen. Stefan tells her to leave or he'll off her himself. "Really, I'm your biggest problem right now?"
She has a point. At least one big issue has been solved (sort of): While she can't put him down for good, Bonnie turns Silas to stone and the gang plans to throw him in the ocean. At least now he can't get into Bonnie's head anymore, but damned if Candice Accola playing an all powerful Silas wasn't fun! Before the body dumping, Alaric swipes the cure off him and gives it to Damon, who wonders what he's supposed to do with it.
"Get the girl," replies Alaric.

Psychotherapy, or "talk therapy", is a way to treat people with a mental disorder by helping them understand their illness. It teaches people strategies and gives them tools to deal with stress and unhealthy thoughts and behaviors. Psychotherapy helps patients manage their symptoms better and function at their best in everyday life.
Sometimes psychotherapy alone may be the best treatment for a person, depending on the illness and its severity. Other times, psychotherapy is combined with medications. Therapists work with an individual or families to devise an appropriate treatment plan.
What are the different types of psychotherapy?
Many kinds of psychotherapy exist. There is no "one-size-fits-all" approach. In addition, some therapies have been scientifically tested more than others. Some people may have a treatment plan that includes only one type of psychotherapy. Others receive treatment that includes elements of several different types. ...More

(I mean, look who designed him)
I just didn't expect him to be such an intrepid adventurer.
After out-staring the fiercest of animals
until he had him tamed
he then decided a spot of tree climbing was in order
although I think he began to wish he hadn't looked down at this point.
He then jumped into my bag and came up to the allotment where he found as many things to climb as possible
Oh yes, HAPPY BIRTHDAY Ally!
Love you really!
And your present is only late because it is taking him so very long to crawl down south!
;o) xxxxx
P.S. Jodie - this pattern is FABULOUS! You are a complete star!

My fourth Jack Daniels book is due March 1st.
I've got about 15k left to write.
It usually takes me about a month to write a book. I began a little earlier than usual for this novel, because February is short a few days, and I had a conference and a few events that took up some of my time.
But I'm still behind schedule. This book required more research than previous books, and for the first time ever I actually got stuck (I needed to figure out how to commit an impossible crime, and then figure out how the police could thwart it.)
I've always been a last minute kind of guy. I'd do my homework on the bus going to school, the day it was due. I was still making edits on my final film project in college ten minutes before the festival ran it. When I give a dinner speech at a conference, I'm usually jotting down what I'll speak about during dessert.
My wife, a fountain of wisdom, patience, and beauty, casually suggested that perhaps I need to begin writing my books sooner than 40 days before they're due. I laughed at her.
"I do my best work at the last minute," I replied.
"You do all your work at the last minute," she countered.
I would have pursued the arguement, but---hey---I need to finish the damn book.
Which I will finish. It will be tight, but I'll burn the midnight oil and get it done. And according to aforementioned wife, who is reading the chapter a day I'm writing, it's my best book yet.
Which brings me to the topic of this blog entry.
How well do you work under pressure?
In the music biz, the second album traditionally sucks. The first was compiled over years of honing, rewriting, and reworking. The second has to be written and recorded in eight months.
Novels are the same. You have years to write your first book. Book #2 needs to be done within a year. And also within that year, you'll be doing a gazillion things for the first book, so you don't actually have an entire year.
The fact is, no matter when you begin your next book, you'll never have enough time, and you'll always feel the heat of the time-crunch. If I'd started six months ago, I can promise I'd still be in the very same situation I am now.
Can you flip your creativity on and off like a switch? Can you force the muse to appear when the pressure is on and the bills need to be paid and the deadline looms ever closer? And can you make sure the book is better than the previous one?
If so, you have a shot at succeeding in this biz.
If not, you may still succeed. But make sure you never sign multi-book contracts, be upfront with your agent and editor about how long it takes you to complete a novel, and don't bite off more than you can chew.
My goal today is 3500 words. That's about 15 pages. I know I can do it, and I will do it.
Can you?

Brett Thomaswick has been the head golf professional at Sandpiper Bay for six months and he loves his job.
A giant of a man at 6 feet, 6 inches, Brett grew up in Ford City, Pa., just north of Pittsburgh. He played basketball and baseball in high school. When he was 17, his father (an avid golfer) took him to an exhibition match at La Trobe Country Club. Brett was standing on a slight knoll behind one of the greens when Arnold Palmer hit a shot that flew the green and rolled right to him.
I've been a rookie golfer for decades. I'll never be a single-digit handicapper or a club champion. My 13-year-old grandson outdrives me and my 4-year-old granddaughter gives me a run at mini-golf.
But I still love the game.
I grew up on a chicken farm in rural Maryland and golf was nowhere to be seen. Not a course in Cecil County. I did not play any sports in high school; I sang in the glee club and was president of the National Honor Society, not a big huge deal because we had only 65 in our graduating class.
Joe Meo, a popular golfer in this area, died Nov. 8 at age 97.
Meo was born May 5, 1917, in Brooklyn, N.Y. He and wife Ann moved to Carolina Shores from New Jersey in 1986. He served in the U.S. Navy during World War II. He was an active member of the Knights of Columbus at Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Church in North Myrtle Beach, S.C.
During the funeral Mass Friday, Nov. 14, Rev. D. Anthony Droze used a phrase from a World War II documentary in describing Meo as "a trophy of God's grace."
For the 2014 Brunswick Beacon Tournament of Champions, we have a bunch of new club champions in the ranks of our men. Hooray for the newbies.
Of the 16 Brunswick County clubs that have played their championships thus far, we have 10 new men's champions. Some of these guys have won club championships at other clubs before moving here, but several of them are experiencing the kudos and glory for the very first time. Meet the 2014 club champions of Brunswick County.
Brick Landing, Bob Brown
The Brunswick County women's golf champions for 2014 are an eclectic group.
Some have won their club championships numerous times in the past 11 years; others are new to this elite order. Some started golf when they were children, others learned the game at midlife. All are excited to be the best of the best at their club for this year.
The Brunswick Beacon Tournament of Champions is Nov. 15-16 at Rivers Edge. Women's and men's champions in Brunswick County will compete in two rounds of medal play.
I heard about the Jersey Girls through mutual friends and became intrigued.
A group of gals from New Jersey has been coming to Brunswick County each fall for 20 years. They stay in the same house for a week. They play golf, shop, and eat in, taking turns cooking and cleaning up.
The Carolina coast is an awesome area. Near Virginia, we have the Outer Banks, 200 miles of barrier islands with lots of great beaches, history (the Wright Brothers flew their first airplane in Kitty Hawk) and golf courses.
Coming down the coast, we have Cape Fear, our very own Brunswick Islands and then the huge sprawling Myrtle Beach, S.C., complex with more than 100 golf courses, lots of shows, amusements, shopping and fabulous beaches.
Last week I had the privilege of attending the closing ceremonies for the Veterans Tournament at Brick Landing Plantation. The tournament was played Oct. 8, and was for the benefit of the new Veterans' Memorial in Sunset Beach.
The day was amazing on several levels. First of all, more than $20,000 was raised for the memorial in a single day. Secondly, the tournament was filled to capacity several weeks in advance. Best of all, everyone finished golfing in fewer than 4½ hours. Our military men and women know how to keep on a schedule.
Cameryn Smith is a senior at West Brunswick High School. She plays on the West Brunswick girls' golf team and belongs to The First Tee of Brunswick County.
In the past month, Smith has become a superstar.
In August, Cameryn won a $15,000 scholarship from Royal Bank of Scotland through its Achievers of the Year awards. Last week, she played in the Nature Valley First Tee Open at Pebble Beach. Her Champions Tour partner was Rocco Mediate, and her caddie was PGA professional Terry Mauney, the program director of The First Tee of Brunswick County.
Greg Hensley, charter member of The First Tee of Brunswick County and now a Professional Golf Management student at Campbell University, is living the dream. He is on a six–month internship at Bandon Dunes Resort in Oregon.
How cool is that?
If you've never heard of Bandon Dunes, you're probably not a golfer. This is a golf course resort on the coast of Oregon that has grown into a world-class golf experience. Folks travel to Oregon from all parts of the world to play the five Bandon Dunes courses.

The Museum of Contemporary Art is located at Circular Quay close to the Sydney Harbour bridge and the Opera house. The museum had a new wing built in 2012 and there is always a free exhibition on show. The cafe has greats views over Circular Quay to the Opera House. The museum is also very close to the Overseas Passenger Terminal so often a cruise liner can be seen moored up on the quay.
There are no kangaroos in Austria. We're talking about Australia, the world's smallest continent. That being cleared up, let's dive right in! Australia is a sovereign state under the Commonwealth of Nations, which is in turn overseen by Queen Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, Queen of Australia and Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth. The continent was first sighted and charted by the Dutch in 1606. Captain James Cook of Britain came along in the next century to claim it for Britain and name it "New South Wales." Shortly thereafter it was declared to be a penal colony full of nothing but criminals and convicts, giving it the crap reputation you may have heard at your last cocktail party. This rumor ignores 40,000 years of pre-European human history, especially the Aboriginal concept of Dreamtime, an interesting explanation of physical and spiritual reality. The two biggest cities in Australia are Sydney and Melbourne. Sydney is more for business, Melbourne for arts. But that's painting in very broad strokes. Take a whirl around the panoramas to see for yourself! Text by Steve Smith.

When I'm getting ready to buy a new product, I will look for the clerk at the store and ask all kinds of questions. However, when I see the doctor, I find that I don't ask questions because I'm not sure what to ask, or I'm too embarrassed to ask. Let's face it, many in our Hispanic community prefer to ask a coworker, friend or even a family member about health concerns or treatment advice rather than going to the doctor.
Well, now there's a Spanish Web site by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) that can help us ask the right questions and can improve communication with our doctors. Conozca las preguntas (Know the questions. Questions, answers and health tips for the Hispanic community) offers tips and sample questions to help you prepare for your medical appointments. You can even get biweekly tips on how to talk to your doctor. There's also a Web site available for smart phones.
If you ask questions and talk openly with your doctor, you can improve not only your health, but also your quality of care.

The Museum's "Big Boy" steam locomotive #4018, a gift of the Union Pacific Railroad 48 years ago, arrived at its new, permanent home in Frisco yesterday. The 1.2 million lb. engine, regarded as the largest of its type in the world, was eased into the Museum of the American Railroad's facility at 2:20pm.
Hundreds of Museum supporters and fans of Big Boy cheered as the large engine rolled to a stop, following the 25-mile journey over BNSF's main line. The celebrated locomotive performed flawlessly throughout the entire move from Dallas' Fair Park to Frisco via Irving. "It's a real testament to the original designers and builders, and the team we assembled to inspect and prepare it for movement," said Museum CEO, Bob LaPrelle.
Under the direction of Scott Lindsay of Steam Operations Corporation, the Museum's Steam Crew spent countless hours inspecting, lubricating, repairing, and even fabricating mechanical components of the Big Boy locomotive. No mechanical issues arose during the 55-mile trek over busy main lines between Dallas and Frisco. The engine rolled silently and effortlessly, sharing the line with modern passenger, commuter, and freight trains pulled by high horsepower diesel locomotives. Still considered the most powerful, the 71-year-old #4018 seemed to garner the respect of its younger counterparts even after having sat static for 48 years.
The locomotive departed South Irving at 10:35am, arriving in Frisco 3 hours and 45 minutes later. Two stops were made en route to inspect and lubricate #4018's running gear. Thousands of onlookers lined the tracks throughout the move, with clusters of people in Irving, Carrollton, and Plano cheering the engine on to its final destination. Upon arrival in Frisco, #4018 was greeted by residents, city officials, and Museum stakeholders.
After Big Boy's week-long adventure on main line trackage, including a layover in Irving next to TRE's busy commuter line, it begins a new chapter in its life. While brief, the engine's trip to Frisco demonstrated its ability to amaze and inspire a new generation of fans and keep the fascination with trains alive! It will become the centerpiece of the Museum of the American Railroad's new rail history and technology center in Frisco.
BNSF crews were diligent in providing a safe and timely move. We are greatly indebted to BNSF Railway for its untiring commitment to the Big Boy move.

China's Next Great Leap Forward: Inflation
Yuan Takes Baby Steps Higher
China Looks to Balance Pressure From G20 Against the Worries of Its Exporters
BEIJING—A week after China loosened its grip on the yuan, the currency is up just 0.53%, a barely visible gain that lived up to the government's promise to restrict the pace of any appreciation…
—The Wall Street Journal
Thus the Wall Street Journal discussed, earlier this week, the rise of the Yuan in the wake of the long-awaited and much-hyped shift to a flexible currency in a country not much given to flexibility.
And that policy shift preoccupied Wall Street for all of, oh, maybe 15 minutes.
Then, like our dog Charles, Wall Street got distracted by other shiny objects, such as Greek credit default swaps, World Cup Soccer, and yesterday's Consumer Confidence Index—soon to be renamed the Consumer Anxiety Index.
But having heard more than one company discuss the increasing difficulty of sourcing low-cost manufacturing in China, we sought the counsel of a long-time acquaintance who made a business of manufacturing in China, and who has, over the years, provided a sharp, clear-eyed view of just such issues as the value of the Yuan and what it means for products made in China.
And what it means is not nearly as important as something else going on in China.
What is going on is this: costs in China are rising, and they will continue to rise for years to come. In fact, he said, costs will rise the rest of the decade at a rate that places China among the higher-cost manufacturing areas of the world.
And it has nothing to do with the Yuan.
What it has to do with is China's "One-Child Policy."
31 years ago, Deng Ziaoping (look him up, kids), declared a "One-Child Policy," which is still policy today. And that policy, while not precisely one child (if a couple's first child was a girl, the couple could have a second child), reduced the number of children-per-females from almost six in 1970 to roughly two today.
Thus, as our manufacturing friend pointed out, the demographics in China are shifting rapidly from a surplus of labor to a shortage. And by "rapidly" he means "the next three years," when the 18-25 year old population drops by something close to one-third.
Now, the effect of this mind-boggling demographic shift was already felt, early this year.
After the Chinese New Year, a number of U.S. companies reported that an unusual number of factory workers failed to return from their inland homes, reducing their manufacturing efficiency, increasing costs-per-item, and forcing a shift to airfreight in order to get product to markets on time.
What is happening is this: as China promotes economic expansion away from the crowded south, jobs are opening up where none had been before.
To put numbers on it, according to our acquaintance, some factories were 25% short of labor after the Chinese New Year, and thus operated at as little as 75% of capacity.
And this problem for the manufacturing base in China is not going away: in fact, it will get worse as the labor surplus dries up.
After all, as our friend said, "If you could work in an office building near home instead of traveling a thousand miles back to a hot, dark, cramped, noisy factory—and make more money—wouldn't you?"
We would indeed.

Jeff, kind of a fill in for your information: the last 3rd of this book
Country Driving
A Journey Through China from Farm to Factory
By Peter Hessler
gives a good overview of the process and mindset of the chinese factory, both worker and owner.
- PhillipCharles said...
Very insightful and informative article. I was not aware if the significant demographic shift underway in China and its effect on manufacturing's underlying cost structure.
- Colin P said...
1/3rd, Jeff? Are you serious? Where can a reader learn more about this?
- Jeff Matthews said...
Prince Charles: Thanks. I wasn't aware either, and that's why I published it.
Colin P: I am serious--that's what he said. I am sure there is data out there. I leave it to our loyal readers to help on this one.

Hey Jeff,
I will send you the contact details of an expert by email soon, but you're roughly correct here. The "demographic dividend" paid off in the early 90s and is about to be quickly reversed in the next 5 years. I think the numbers you gave are a bit high but in the ballpark. A curious fact: The one-child policy had no measurable effect on birth rates. The drop in births happened in the mid-70s before the one child policy suggestion was publicized. It was natural as there was a large surge in survival as well as a recent surge in bithrates after the hunger period of the late 60s. The population naturally responded. In modern surveys, they find that even if the OCP were lifted, the birth rates would not significantly change. There are plenty of exceptions to the OCP, and the allowable quota across the country is never filled. Economics and opportunities have thrown Chinese birthrates to first-world levels. In fact, some local research institutes have repeatedly raised the issue of declining birthrates only to be ignored.
The reason that you don't hear all this? Standard politics. The people who have been employed by the government to study the population have owed their jobs to fearmongering. If the OCP is repealed, there is fear that the poverty of the 70s would return. They would also have to answer for the fact that the OCP was not needed recently if it is overturned. They would also have to answer for the brutal behavior of the local authorities. Even though the average Chinese couple has no desire to have another child, the brutal treatment of the few who have had multiple children is shocking.
In any case, I wager that within the next decade the official gov't problems in China will be similar to that in Japan and Singapore -- ineffective encouragement of childbearing.

So, does this imported inflation show up as higher prices or lower margins?
- Bryon said...
Jeff, while this shift may be a current positive for Chinese workers in the way of wage increases, I wonder if the ultimate outcome is not defaltion. Who is going to buy all of condo's, homes, etc. in an already "heady" real estate market?
- Anonymous said...
Jeff - re a previous post, do you still think this as a Normal recovery?
- Jeff Matthews said...
Anonymous asks if this still looks like a "Normal" recovery (see "Meet the New Normal, Same As the Old Normal").
Yes, no, maybe. Temporary employment is off-the-charts positive; current consumer spending is in a slump; overall business is better, but companies and consumers are worried about higher taxes and an unfriendly Congress.
Time will tell.
- Anonymous said...
Wrong on a number of significant counts:
1) It wasn't Mao who enacted the one child policy -- he was a proponent of huge populations. It was Deng Xiao ping in '79. PS it's not exactly one child as there are exceptions as in the countryside, for example.
2) The labor content in goods varies quite a bit, but in higher value goods such as electronics, it's about 3% to the final consumer. Don't look for huge price increases in your iPhone due to labor, look for it in commodities price increases.
3) The companies that will experience a labor price "shock" will be those involved in assembly such as Foxconn.
4) The Chinese government wants to move upstream into higher value, less labor intensive manufacturing such as more electronics, alternative energy etc. The lower value stuff such as garments will tend to move to Vietnam and other parts of Southeast Asia and Latin America.
- Jeff Matthews said...
Anonymous has provided helpful corrections which we adopted.
Vietnam, however, is barely a partial solution to China's labor squeeze, possessing a somewhat smaller population than China (like 85 million compared to 1.3 billion).
It will be interesting to see how companies cope.
The most obvious first step will be automation, as China's factories are not highly automated. The next step is to move closer to end markets.
It all means higher costs.
- nzguide said...
Jeff, I like your blog a lot and have passed it along to many others over the past 3 years or so. I am kind of surprised that you were not fully aware of the Chinese demographic cloud looming out there. Western Europe is of course doomed to demographic upheaval that will shake their social safety nets, but China's policy had not been tried ever before in history and the communist ivory tower may rue the day they came up with such an idea, but faced with a history of starvation outbreaks, desperate men deploy desperate solutions. I confess that rather than an acute labor shortage, I remain more concerned about a largely male population that has no real means of creating a family and settling down. A large contingent of single men with no family prospects due to an incurable bride shortage (imports anyone?) will lead to (in my opinion) a milatarized culture that Taiwan can only be resigned to joining. In other words the surplus male population had better remain employed or China's military ambitions seem destined to grow. Keep up the excellent work. As for the recovery, here in fly-over country the manufacturers seem to be doing rather well right this moment, but housing seems to be stuck in a rut with no real upturn in sight. That's my 1.5 cents worth.

Jeff - even Barton Biggs (the permabull) is now worried about a US recession, and has sold all this US tech names. Strangely he was bullish a week ago on another bloomberg story.
- Hayseed said...
Jethro, first things first - no one can predict anything on a significant basis, so my points here are only probabilities that are now on the likely side... but given the deflationary forces underway (see virtually all commodities ex gold and almost all world markets), and combine that with unprecedented debt levels across the globe, and you have a perfect storm for a depression. it will look/appear different that the 30's (as new markets never repeat old markets), and you will have CNBC and the other cheerleader types claiming things are getting better, but the probabilities lie now in assets continuing to be repriced downward, which combined with the extreme debt levels, will create a cascade of deflation until some bottom is hit. i have no idea, now does anyone else where that bottom is, but it is continuing and will last for years, maybe decades. point here is that china relies on ROW demand, and that demand is shrinking daily. so will agree that china will reprice its input costs to some equilibrium level, but that demand measure in double digits will now be measured in single digits. you can tradr the market for the short run (6 mos, 1-2 yrs etc) but the only asset long term to hold right now is cash, assuming deflation continues. nothing, no asset, will be spared.
- Paul Denlinger said...
This is part of a demographic transition as the Chinese population ages: as factory workers become scarcer, they will also buy fewer things. This is why China is pushing urbanization now.
As this happens, it's likely that factories will move to Vietnam and other nations which have lower costs than China, and the Chinese govt will encourage Chinese workers to train, so that they can move up the value chain.
My prediction is that China will have to complete most of its infrastructure development, including high-speed trains and other stuff by 2015; if it waits longer than that, the Chinese govt simply will not have the tax revenue base to fund the development.


text: We have been having cool late-September-type weather with plenty of rain. The community I live in looks like the Garden of Eden in comparison to lots of other areas in Ohio. The Findlay, Ohio, area in general looks good. Our soybeans are growing and look like the nicest ones we have ever had. The corn ears are going to have a lot of odd-shaped kernels, but we are hoping for two-thirds of our normal yield. Due to my accident I haven't been running errands like I usually do in the summertime, but I have seen extremely dry areas 45 miles south of me in the Indian Lake area and 40 miles north of me in the Napoleon area. We are really having to decide what we are going to be doing in the future since I've had the double whammy of my tractor rollover accident and the windstorm that damaged just about all my barns, buildings and storage facilities. My cracked pelvis is healing well, but it certainly isn't pain free. I've chopped all of our wheat stubble and I have been doing a lot of lawn mowing, but I don't do any heavy lifting or any livestock chores. I can't afford to take any kind of heavy blow or fall. I've signed up for a Lake Erie Improvement program with my Soil Conservation Office. They want extensive use of cover crops, grid soil sampling, and no-till or conservation tillage that leaves more than 30% residue on top. They will pick up the cost of the cover crops and soil sampling. I'll probably rent a strip-till tool so that I meet the residue requirements.

While I think Turner is a FANTASTIC player, I am not sure he is the best fit with Curry. Turner is someone that is at his best when he has the ball in his hands and is initiating the offense. Not working off the ball. From the times I have seen Ohio St play, this is where he thrives. Almost a point forward type.
As we have seen, Curry is best when he has the ball and initiates. This is why I think Wesley Johnson is the best fit in terms of swing men. I think Turner is the more dynamic player, but Johnson the better fit.
EXACTLY!!! Plus Wesley Johnson is a better defender than.. almost anyone else in college at the 2 guard spot. Steph to Wesley for the allyoop, Steph to Wesley for the 3!!! Oh yeah Wesley is an awsome 3 point shooter. This combo gives the Warriors the best young backcourt in the league hands down.
I really like Monta but he just can't pair up with Curry as well as W. Johnson does, and Monta ain't gonna grow another 5 inches and suddenly develop a ridiculous, albatross like, wingspan.
Curry/Johnson ftw!
Now, IF AR comes back healthy, and we can get him to play the 3, and IF we can package Monta for Al Jeffersen (not giving up hope on this) then our starting 5 and our bench 5 is looking tall, beefy and mean...
PG - Stephen Curry 6'3" (and growing)
SG - W. Johnson 6'7" (wings like an albatross)
SF - Randolph 6'11" (long, and athletic, 7' now?)
PF - Al Jefferson 6'10" (brick shithouse, brings the beef!)
C - Biedrins 7'0" (long, will get better, really)
Bench (would be an awsome bench imho)
SG - Morrow
SF - Mags
PF - Tolliver
C - Turiaf
