The Baldwinsville Rotary Club honored four employees of local businesses and agencies at a Pride of Workmanship Awards Dinner held Monday Sept. 27 at Tabatha's Family Tree Restaurant.
The four honorees and nominating employers were: Michele Eckler, by S. G. Arvantides, D.D.S.; Lt. Thomas LeRoy, by the Baldwinville Police Department; Diane Ruffolo, by the Beaver Lake Animal Hospital; and Amy Shaw, by The Insurance Place Agency, LLC.
Keynote speaker was Robert Bitz whose topic was "What has happened to Pride of Workmanship at the Top."
This brings the Baldwinsville Rotary Club to a total of 66 awards presented recognizing "Pride of Workmanship" since the program began in 1992. The objective is to encourage employers, through Rotary, to recognize employees displaying talent and the positive attitude meriting the award. Criteria for selecting recipients are job competence, punctuality, consistency of effort, interest and enthusiasm, the maintenance of a pleasant yet businesslike relationship with co-workers and clients, and consistency in doing the job right the first time.
Rotarians are business and professional leaders who volunteer in their communities in a variety of ways. If you are interested in what the Baldwinsville Rotary Club is doing here in Baldwinsville and would like to know more about Rotary, there will be an informational meeting held Wednesday evening, Oct. 27 at the Canal Walk Cafe. Desserts will also be served.

Review of Burt's Bees Doctor Burt's Res-Q Ointment by allsmiles123
The reviews on this product intrigued me enough to buy this. At first I wasn't sure what exactly to do with this product, I wanted to use it on something to see if it worked. Well, I got a cat scratch, about 2 inches long on my neck area (not the most attractive thing), so I used this product. HUGE RAVE...I only used this for about 3 days, twice a day. My scratch was gone after just 3 days with no visible scar left over. I would highly recommend this!
UPDATE 1/17/07: So a couple of days ago I had a small bruise and Res-Q ointment is supposed to work on bruises, so I gave it a go. Well the next day it was nearly gone. Usually when I get bruises they stick around for a week or more. An ointment getting rid of a bruise??...it's unheard of. It seems too good to be true. I will update as more experiences occur.

Artist: Kid Ink
Producer: Devin Cruise
Album: Untitled (TBD)
Avg Rating: 3.7 ( 32 total votes )
Fresh off signing with RCA Records, Kid Ink is undoubtedly feeling like a little bit of a badass. The West Coast repper's own style, toughness and cocky attitude, however, aren't the main focus of his major-label debut single; instead, the record finds him coming together with Maybach Music reppers Wale and Meek Mill to feast his eyes on some literal Bad Asses at his local gentlemen's club. Devin Cruise provides an appropriately sultry, bass-bumping backdrop for this paean to the female anatomy, layering eight-bit synths and high-pitched vocals samples over a hi-hat heavy trap rhythm. There's been no word yet on a major-label debut from Kid Ink but, as always, fans can keep their browsers locked for all the latest.

text: A Kaffie Middle School father says he watched a bully grab his son and throw him around on the grounds of the school on Friday, and now he is mad that the bully is still in school."My dad and his friends are helping me, but no one at the school cares," student Ben Vega IV said. "None of my principals."Ben, a Kaffie Middle School sixth grader, was trying to leave school when his dad says he saw a student, twice his son's size, hit him on the back of the leg and then grab his backpack, picking the sixth-grader up and throwing him around like a rag doll."I'm here to stop this now. I'm here to tell everybody in Corpus Christi, ask your kid if they're being bullied. Get involved. Ask questions," father Ben Vega III said. "If your kid is being bulled, get to that principal's office like I plan on being once a week to find out what's going on with that kid that's bullying my son."Vega was shocked to find that the bully who had thrown his son around at Kaffie on Friday was back in school on Monday, so he took his son home. The boy returned to class on Tuesday, but Vega said his son doesn't want to go to school."That is not fair, for a parent not to know what's happening with the other person, because apparently the other kid was back in school on Monday," Vega said. "And my kid hiding in the corner, walking down the hallway because he doesn't want to bump into this kid, and no one did anything about this."However, school officials say they did take action."We do take bullying very seriously here at Kaffie Middle School, and we encourage parents and students to report bullying on our bullying reports system," Kaffie Principal Patti Heiland said. "This particular incident, I will say, has been handled according to board policy.""We as parents have a son that was victimized, and we can't find out the person who committed the assault," Vega said. "What's going to happen to him? Is he going to get suspended? Is he going to go to SLGC? I got the impression that CCISD does not care about bullies. I get a feeling they ignore this."The district says any parent or student who knows about a bullying incident can go to the CCISD website and easily report the incident. There are also other resources to help families deal with the continuing problem.

By Brandon Mellor, Seminoles.com
Running Backs Recap:
The future is bright in the backfield. As true freshmen a season ago, Jermaine Thomas and Carlton Jones showed flashes as Antone Smith's backups that undoubtedly excited everyone that follows Florida State football.
And following Smith's departure to the NFL, they kept it moving - literally - during the spring practice period.
Atop the depth chart as FSU's top two tailbacks, Thomas and Jones gouged the defense throughout the spring and consistently moved the chains during scrimmages. Using the stellar play of the offensive line as their guide, Thomas and Jones provided a glimpse of what the Seminoles' one-two punch at running back will look like in 2009.
Penciled in as FSU's starting running back, Thomas frequently accrued large gains on the ground. The Jacksonville, Fla. native's uncanny ability to elude the first tackler and squeeze past defenders was on display throughout the spring as he showed that his penchant for making something out of nothing was not just a fluke last season.
As for Jones -- the clearly underrated recruit coming out of Middleton High School in Tampa, Fla. a year ago -- he showed during the spring just how much promise he has after a freshman season that was limited because of an ankle injury. Jones deceptive speed and athleticism caused problems for the defense on more than one occasion throughout the spring practice period.
Both youngsters unfortunately closed out spring practices with an unspectacular showing in the Garnet & Gold game.
But one performance isn't indicative of just how talented the Seminoles' running backs happen to be as it was just one bump on an otherwise smooth and successful overall showing in their first-ever spring in Tallahassee.
As for the fullbacks, redshirt junior Marcus Sims and Seddrick Holloway have proved the last few seasons that they can handle the duties that are required of lead-backs in Jimbo Fisher's offense and that was no different in the spring.
Sims also displayed throughout spring practices that he has the skills and body-type to be FSU's primary short-yardage-type rusher that specializes in getting those difficult, up-the-middle styles of runs.
What to watch for:
Thomas has a leg up on the competition because of the simple fact that he gained more experience as a rookie last year and proved ready for the starter's role, but his battle with Jones to be the No. 1 guy will be interesting to watch in two-a-days this fall.
The most important thing for both sophomores to do during the next several months leading into the 2009 season is to improve on their blocking. Fisher was quick to point out in the spring that for everything they did right toting the football, their blocking was still very suspect.
How do they improve that facet of their game? Film, film and more film. Hitting the film room after hitting the weight room is paramount for the development of both players and for the increased success of the FSU offensive attack this year.
Behind Thomas and Jones, it's anyone's guess at this point who will earn playing time.
Highly-touted junior college transfer Tavares Pressley should figure prominently into the conversation after a torn ACL cost him his entire first season in Tallahassee last year. Pressley missed all of spring practice while rehabilitating the injury but is expected to be cleared for full contact by the time two-a-days begin.
While he works himself back into playing shape, Pressley must also battle a couple of very talented incoming freshmen.
Running backs Lonnie Pryor and Chris Thompson arrive in Tallahassee in June to begin their careers as Seminoles and both will be looking to turn stellar high school careers into early playing time at FSU -- just like Thomas and Jones did last season.
Because of his versatility and playmaking ability, Thompson could make the switch to wide receiver if the offensive coaches feel that's in the best interest of the team.
It's clear there is a lot to pay attention to when it comes to the Seminole tailbacks as the 2009 campaign approaches. But with a stable of talented student-athletes, there is a lot to look forward to.

Russian Scientists Grow Pleistocene-Era Plants From Seeds Buried By Squirrels 30,000 Years Ago
On the frozen edge of the Kolyma River in northeastern Siberia, in an ancient pantry harboring seeds and other stores, an Arctic ground squirrel burrowed into the dirt and buried a small, dark fruit from a flowering plant. The squirrel's prize quickly froze in the cold ground and was preserved in permafrost, waiting to grow into a fully fledged flowering plant until it was unearthed again. After 30,000 years, it finally was. Scientists in Russia have now regenerated this Pleistocene plant, transplanting it into a pot in the lab. A year later, it grew forth and bore fruit.
The specimen is distinctly different from the modern-day version of Silene stenophylla, or narrow-leafed Campion. It suggests that the permafrost is a potential new source of ancient gene pools long believed to be extinct, scientists said.
The fruits were buried about 125 feet in undisturbed, never thawed permafrost sediments, nestled at roughly 19.4 degrees F (-7 C). Radiocarbon dating showed the fruits were 31,800 years old, give or take about 300 years. Seeds are incredible things, storing the embryo of a new plant and encasing it in protective material until conditions are right for it to germinate.
Scientists led by David Gilichinsky at the Russian Academy of Sciences worked with three of these fruits and took placental tissue samples. They fed the tissue cultures a cocktail of nutrients to induce root growth, and once the plants were rooted, they were transplanted into pots in a greenhouse. Just as they were supposed to, plants grew, developed flowers and fruits, and went to seed. (Gilichinksy died a few days ago, the BBC reported.)
Gilichinsky and colleagues also grew modern-day narrow-leafed Campion as a control, and noticed some key differences among the two generations — the Pleistocene version put out twice as many buds, but the modern version put out roots faster.
To ensure the ancient plants' own new seeds were viable, the team artificially pollinated the flowers and germinated the resulting seeds. Get this: The seeds from the ancient plants fared even better than the modern ones. The regenerated ancient plants had a 100 percent germination rate, while the control plants had an 86 to 90 percent rate. The research suggests that old age and ice would not have prevent these plants from flowering again someday — if anything, it would be the radioactive cycle of the planet itself. Like anything on Earth, the plants were exposed to low levels of gamma radiation from the radioactive decay of elements in the crust. Over 30,000 years, that adds up to a fair amount of gamma radiation. The scientists calculated that the fruits got a dose of 0.07 kGy of gamma radiation, and they say this is now the maximal dose after which tissues will remain viable and seeds will still germinate. If someone finds a plant older than 30,000 years, maybe that number will go up.
All of this is interesting not just because it's amazing to regenerate a Pleistocene plant, which of course it is, but because the permafrost may be an important new gene pool. Other ancient squirrel burrows have been found in the Yukon territory and in Alaska. That's interesting for pure research, but also because of what may happen as the planet warms and more permafrost regions thaw. Organisms will be released from their long, cold sleep, and these ancient life forms could become part of modern ecosystems, affecting modern phenotypes and changing the landscape.
"We consider it essential to continue permafrost studies in
search of an ancient genetic pool, that of preexisting life, which hypothetically has long since vanished from the Earth's surface," the authors write.
The paper was published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

You noted that (Gilichinksy died a few days ago, the BBC reported.)
What did he die of?? I ask because...is there a chance that a 30,000 old virus might have hitched a ride with the Fruit and became air borne and killed this guy???
I know it's out there...but, one needs to think about going after these ancient plants...they may have something that we don't want
"That's interesting for pure research, but also because of what may happen as the planet warms and more permafrost regions thaw."
The idea that our planet is warming is far from proven. The recent revalations of profound dishonesty on the part of those claiming that it is should give anyone paying attention serious doubts about the veracity of such claims.
I never meant to imply that i was 'special' or that i had some higher authority above anyone. Im simply stating my own opinion about religious related comments that are entirely meant to take a stab at a scientific article just because the commenter may or may not agree with it. I admit, im not a religious man myself but i respect people that are. I do not have full respect for those that try to make their beliefs as abundent as possible, which in this situation includes posting a comment that deliberately insults the research and success of hard working scientists.
And to what you said about the plant having use for medical purposes, i admire the thought. I would like to think that there are some plants unexposed to us that may prove to help cure cancer or other severe conditions.
Iwanttobelieve, it is obvious that you do not believe. Please tell me with specificity what about this is untrue or "spewing" about this statement:
Science sees no further than what it can sense.
Religion sees beyond the senses.
Genuine science only deals in what it can sense and begin to measure, which is part of the reason that the AMA types refuse to acknowledge the benefits of acupuncture. Religion deals with the spiritual realm, which by our current technology, can not be sensed or measured in the scientific sense. Your initial comment displays your condescending arrogance towards that which you do not understand. It also displays your own inadequacies and lack of genuine self esteem.
I do not see where self esteem plays into my comment. I am rather confident in what i have to say. But i do see the mistake i made when interpreting Robot's comment. I accept that you have been able to point out my faults when i could not. As far as arguments go, you clearly fly on a higher plane than i do =P Forgive me for my arrogance.
Now speaking of popular science, have you read any articles online about the neutrino particle? I found it rather interesting that it disproved Einstein's theory of relativity, but also that it could carry the potential to help develop means of faster-than-light travel. Which than could lead to so many different things. I've been trying to find someone with any different suggestions and/or opinions on it. I would hope that, even as extreme as it sounds, light speed travel could be achievable, and that if we could harness the power of an atom we could also do the same with the neutrino.
The campion species is a small flowering plant. The modern members of the species grow at the edges of fields and where there are low laying schrubs. It is grown in gardens primarily for the beauty of its flowers however the plant was used herbally as a treatment for scorpion stings (It actually has absolutely no benefit in that regard )

"Behold, I stand at the door and Knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and sup with him, and he with me." Revelations 3:20
Who is Jesus? Jesus is Gods only Son. He loves you more than anyone else and wants to come live inside your heart.
He is found many times at the door of your heart, knocking and knocking, and wondering if you will let him come in. He will never force his way in. He will only come in if you invite him into your heart house.
Many kids would love for him to come into their heart but they are embarassed for him to see how dirty their heart house is. They connot seem to get their heart house clean enough to invite Jesus in. But what you need to realize is that only Jesus can clean your heart house.
Here is what you need to do when you hear Jesus knocking on your hearts door. I am sure he is knocking right at this moment. So open the door and tell him you would like him to come into your heart house. Tell him you are sorry for letting it get so dirty and letting all those bad things in there. Tell him you will try to never let those things in your heart house again. Then Jesus will take away the old heart house and give you a BRAND NEW heart house and he will come in and live in it and help you keep it clean and you will never be alone again!
Then come to BST as much as possible to learn more about how Jesus can help you keep a clean heart house.
And NOW, with your brand new, clean, heart house, you are ready to go to heaven!

During coming years, our Board of Supervisors will spend hours and weeks and months defending the property rights of millionaire homeowners and the bloated privilege of vociferous dog owners. This will come at the expense of the rest of us, who entertain liberal-minded desires such as hoping to raise families in apartments with more than one bedroom, or wishing our children could play safely in the park.
In Joseph Conrad's Belgian Congo and Bruce Stanley's Angola, the lack of a coherent moral universe resulted in darkness. In San Francisco, district-based elections have created such a place. As I listened to Thursday's dog debate, and envisioned the hours of testimony, argument, and misspent energy that now dominates politics here, I closed my eyes and heard the words of Joseph Conrad's Marlow. I saw a river running into darkness: "The broadening waters flowed through a mob of wooded islands; you lost your way on that river as you would in a desert, and butted all day long against shoals, trying to find the channel, till you thought yourself bewitched and cut off forever from everything you had known once -- somewhere -- far away -- in another existence perhaps."

TO THE COMTESSE DE CIRCOURT.Sorrento, December 30, 1850. I was waiting, Madame, to write to you till I had made the acquaintance of General Filangieri, by whom I am sure that I should have been well received, as my letter to him was from you. However, I am obliged, with great regret, to tell you that I am unable to make use of your introduction. The bad effects of our first voyage on the health of Madame de Tocqueville, and our well-founded fears of finding no lodging at Palermo, except in the hotel, determined us to fix ourselves at Sorrento, whence I write to you. I dare say that you know this charming spot, so I need not describe it to you; and you will have no difficulty in believing that I enjoy it as much as one can ever enjoy oneself away from one's friends and one's country. Now and then, as I said before, I think with a sigh of Sicily. I am particularly sorry to lose the opportunity of conversing with General Filangieri, who, as I hear on all sides, is the most distinguished man in this country. I allow myself as little as possible to think of politics, and I try not to let them annoy me. Hitherto, this mode of life, and especially this admirable climate, have revived me more than I had dared to expect. I really hope to carry back with me to Paris a capital of good health. This capital I shall no doubt spend, and perhaps even, like others, I shall waste it in what is called the great business of life, as if it were not the great business of every one's life to keep his body in health and his mind at rest. Although I live like a hermit, and perhaps because I live like a hermit, I am extremely curious to know all that is going on in the world, or, to use the language of hermits, all secular affairs. It would be most kind and charitable in you to tell me, when you answer me (that is, at least, if you really are willing to take so much trouble), some news, and, above all, some of your own news. There is no man who could prize them more highly. Though solitary, do not think that I am quite without resources. I have brought as companions a few excellent books. It sometimes occurs to me, I tell you this as a secret, that on the whole I prefer living with books to living with authors. One is not always happy with the latter; while books are intelligent companions, without vanity, ill-humour, or caprice; they do not want to talk of themselves, do not dislike to hear others praised; clever people whom one can summon and dismiss just as one pleases. A capital recommendation; for though there is nothing so delightful as agreeable conversation, it shares the fate of all other pleasures, and to be fully enjoyed ought to be taken only when one chooses, and as one chooses. I need not say that my distrust of authors does not extend to my friend Ampère, whom I am impatiently expecting to-morrow, or the day after. His least merit is writing; and I know by experience that no companion can be more agreeable and delightful than he is in retirement. As I wish to keep him as long as possible in our retreat, I have fitted him up a south room, with a grove of orange-trees under his window, and a glimpse of the sea in one corner. I have put in a fireplace and a carpet, two things which are sometimes necessary, though they are rare in this fortunate climate, where few precautions are taken against winter. I hope that he will like his cell; that he will stay as long as we shall at Sorrento; that we shall talk a great deal, and even work a little; for complete idleness is good for nothing; and has never fattened any but fools, so it is said, but even this I doubt. Adieu, Madame. Forgive all this gossip in consideration of the pleasure that writing to you affords me, and believe in my respectful attachment. TO M. GUSTAVE DE BEAUMONT.Sorrento, January 5, 1851. . . . We continue to delight in Sorrento. I have not had a day's illness. The accounts you have heard of the cold of Sorrento were exaggerations. I have never known a month of May as uniformly warm and fine as the month of December which has just ended. The thermometer in the night has never fallen below 6° or 8°, and in the day it has in general risen to 12° or 15° (centigrade). Add to this a hot sun, and a total absence of wind, and you have what in France we should call magnificent May weather, minus the poetry which belongs to May—the sudden return of all animated beings to life, and the universal awakening of nature from her long sleep. We live here in utter solitude. Ampère has not yet arrived. His hieroglyphics keep him in Rome. However, though we are most anxious for his company, our isolation does not distress us. I try, as I told you before, to employ my mind without fatiguing myself, and I succeed. If I am pleased with what I am doing, I will read it to you on my return. Writing is a delightful occupation when one has plenty of leisure, and when one's object is to please oneself and not the public. That judgment of the public in perspective spoils the enjoyment. . . . The worst part of my present residence is, that one may study everything but Italy. I should like to learn, at least, what is going on close to me in this little space; but I find it very difficult. Fear, ignorance, or perfect indifference, closes every mouth. Besides, I find it hard to make acquaintances, though I am not particular as to the sort. The Italian middle classes, the only class to be found at Sorrento, do not care to visit you, because they do not care that you should visit them; and they do not care that you should visit them, because they live in garrets of which they are ashamed, and which they do not choose to convert into clean and comfortable apartments. You know, too, as well as I do, that conversation, especially in travelling, is an exchange, and that one can learn nothing from those who wish to learn nothing from you. How willingly I would allow these people to dispense with their low bows and their superlatives, if they would change them for the curiosity and precise information of those long Yankees, who used to go on chewing their tobacco while they were talking to us; but who every day taught us something that was new and useful. I, therefore, learn only what my eyes teach me; and practical observation every day shows me that the population among whom I live is civil, well-behaved, easily led, not given to thieving, extremely ignorant and superstitious; in fact, in perpetual childhood. They are children of good dispositions, but ill brought up. Such a government as this could not be maintained with any other subjects. It is only on near view that one sees this. But how sad it is that, all the world over, governments are just as rascally as nations will allow them to be. This is the only limit to their vices. . . . Sorrento, January 29, 1851. . . . The last newspapers which I have received are those of the 19th. I learnt from them the vote of the Assembly on the 18th, adopting Sainte Beuve's amendment,* and sounding an official note of defiance. . . . . . . What will be the consequence, I cannot tell; but whatever takes place, I am very glad that it passed. . . . Always supposing that this triumph of the Assembly will be complete, and that the President will accept his defeat, I no less continue to think, as I have done for a long time past, that the chances for the future are in his favour, and that common prudence will secure them to him. I attach more importance to the general aspect of the country than to any particular accident, however momentous. The general tendency seems to be a movement on the part of the nation from liberty towards a concentrated and permanent power. The fact that the most eminent political and military men are opposed to this movement, does not reassure me, for we live in a democratic age and society, where individuals, even the most distinguished, count for little. To form my own opinion, I listen neither to those who extol, nor to those who depreciate, the talents of the candidates. In these times the man himself is not of consequence, but the means by which he attains to power. A dwarf may be carried on the crest of a wave to the top of a cliff, which a giant could not climb from the beach. . . . You know that Ampère came here a few days ago; we have also the Seniors, whose society we much enjoy. . . . The following extracts contain some of the conversations alluded to by M. de Tocqueville, in his letter to Mr. Senior, of the 28th of November, 1851, and mentioned by M. Ampère, in his charming memoir of M. de Tocqueville, published in the Correspondant:— "We used to take long walks over the mountains, for though so fragile, he was a great walker. Sometimes we halted in some lovely spot, with the sea spread out before us, and the sky of Naples above us. We rested to take breath, and then resumed our conversations. "His inexhaustible mind, which at no time displayed more activity or more freedom, touched, without undue haste or too rapid transition, but with even flow and infinite variety, one subject after another. They succeeded each other without effort, from the most important and logical discussions down to the most piquant anecdotes. Though always perfectly simple, he preserved, in the most intimate and familiar conversations, the purity of expression and admirable choice of words which was a part of his very nature. While sitting on the rocks around Sorrento, I might have written down (and why did I not?) all that escaped his lips in those moments of friendly intercourse." Sorrento, Wednesday, January 29, 1851. We had just heard the news of the vote of the Assembly of the 18th of January, that it had no confidence in the present French ministry. "The last time," said Tocqueville, "that a French Chamber agreed on such a vote was in June, 1830: an ominous recollection; but in 1830, the 221 had the country at their back. "It is difficult to say how far the country sympathizes with the Assembly. The President makes no undignified appearance in public. His immense patronage throws all France at his feet. The framers of the constitution meant to render him merely the subordinate officer of the Assembly. Within the limits of the constitution the Assembly was to be sovereign; but they have given to the President means of power and influence with which they, the Assembly, find it difficult to cope. And I agree with Thiers, that if, in the struggle, the Assembly yields, we have the empire under another name. It is possible that he may make a compromise with them on the dotation question, give up his ministers, and receive his three millions: which, of course, would be dishonourable to him. It is more probable that his ministers will refuse to continue. "To be censured by the Assembly, and treated by the President as mere clerks, is paying a high price for office." "It is unfortunate," I said, "that Louis Napoleon has learnt so little in England." "He learnt in England," said Tocqueville, "a good deal. He learnt, for instance, the value of private enterprise and skill. He is less inclined than most of his ministers are to interpose in all great works the action of the government; but he has not learnt even the principles of parliamentary government. He is resolved not only to be his own prime minister, but to be almost sole minister. He will not even submit to be controlled in his cabinet. Hence arises the anomaly, that the leading men in the Assembly vote against the ministry, and yet refuse to take office. They vote against the ministry, because they fancy that they see in them the accomplices of an usurpation; they refuse to take office, because they would incur responsibility without having free agency." "It seems to me," I said, "that the Assembly ought to have made its stand against the autocratic pretensions of the President, in November, 1849; when, in defiance of the spirit of parliamentary government, he dismissed a ministry which was supported by a strong majority. By not resenting that aggression, you invited others." "That is true," he answered; "but the Assembly was new, and the President was new; we were very anxious not to begin so early with a quarrel; and we, the retiring ministry, used our utmost efforts to obtain for our successors a fair trial. But perhaps, as you say, we were wrong." "What is the next move," I asked, "if the ministers remain?" "There are two means," he answered, "by which the Assembly might endeavour to coerce the President. The direct taxes, which form the bulk of the revenue, are by the constitution only annual. It might refuse them, or it might pass laws directly aimed at his power. It might change, for instance, the constitution of the army. It might exclude the army from Paris; in fact, exercising despotically the whole power of legislation, on all points that are not determined by the constitution, it might seriously embarrass or even arrest his administration." "Would not either of these courses," I said, "induce the people to take part with the President? Each of them, would in fact, be fighting the battle at the expense of the country, You want, I think, here the expedient of a dissolution. With us, if the King retain Ministers whom the House of Commons disapproves, it stops, or rather threatens to stop, the supplies; not as a party move, but as a means of forcing an appeal to the people. It is dissolved, and the ultimate umpire, the nation, decides. If it sends back, as it did in 1835, a house with the same opinions as its predecessors, the Ministers must go. If it sends one, as it did in 1784, with a ministerial majority, of course they remain. You seem to have no means of consulting the nation, but must wait till the Assembly has sat through its term." "A dissolution," he said, "with us would be a revolution. The President, especially a Bonaparte, could not be left, even for a few weeks, unchecked by a countervailing force. Some years hence, perhaps, if we have then popular institutions, our chief magistrate may be allowed the power given to your sovereign, but not in our present state of transition." "But," I said, "if you refuse to pass laws, and the President remains firm, what is to be the result?" "If," he answered, "his conduct were such as to justify our accusing him of an intention to subvert the constitution, we might seize the whole power of the state, and impeach him." "And these seditious cries, these promotions of those who uttered them, these dismissals of those who refused to join in them, this removal of the commander, on whose skill and fidelity the Assembly relied for its protection, are strong indications of plans of usurpation?" "They might be urged," said Ampère, "as implying a tendency, but the President may certainly keep within the limits of the law, and yet make legal government, except through his own ministers, impossible." "Was he wise," I asked, "in indulging in an expenditure which forces him to apply to the chamber for a further allowance?" "Very unwise," answered Tocqueville; "he ought to have lived within his income, as the richest private man in France, without assuming princely magnificence. He would have been more respected, and really more powerful; I have told him so a hundred times; I have implored him to lay aside his extravagant retinue, and to discontinue his ostentatious fêtes." "But his instincts are towards expense, and his immediate adherents, who are as bad advisers as it is possible, stimulate an extravagance by which they profit. He is always thinking of his uncle. And the expense of the Imperial Court is, of course, the part of the empire most easily copied." "In what way," I said, "does he get rid of so much money?" "A great deal of it," said Tocqueville, "goes in gifts to old officers: much, of course, in dinners and balls; but more in what is called coulage, waste, carelessness." "Of course," I said, "he has gained something by this expenditure, though he may have lost more." "If," answered Tocqueville, "his object be to become a sovereign, he may have forwarded it by accustoming people to see him surrounded by a state and splendour inconsistent with private life. But I do not believe that his extravagance has been the result of any deep political views. I fancy that his real motive has been the pleasure of spending money, of gratifying his immediate vanity, and the vanity of those around him." "It is wonderful how many men of talent and ambition have sacrificed their comfort, and even their independence to a taste for expense." "All that is going on," continued Tocqueville, "fills me with uneasiness. I wish well to the President, and I wish well to the Assembly, and I see them on the way to destroy one another." "Among all the different courses which events may take, the one which has for some time appeared to me the least objectionable, is the prolongation of Louis Napoleon's presidency, and I am grieved to see him make it the most objectionable." "What," I asked, "will be the prophecy that I shall hear when I am in Paris next May? During the last three Mays, it has been an insurrection, and twice it has come true." "The prophecy," he answered, "next May, will be a Coup d'État. Some of your friends will tell you that in a week the Assembly will declare itself in danger; appoint a guard of 40,000 men, under the command of one of its members, and use it to take the President to Vincennes. "Others will assure you that the news which you may expect every morning is, that during the night the Palais National has been occupied by the troops; that the walls are covered with placards, declaring the Assembly dissolved; and that all the leading members of the majority are arrested or concealed. And I will not venture to predict that neither of these events, or, at least, that no event similar to one of them, will occur. "In the present state of feeling," he continued, "nothing would be easier than for the President to make himself a constitutional king. It is the form of government under which France has been most prosperous, it is the one which has the most friends, and the most effective ones. If one of the Orleans' princes were president, we should slide into it almost unconsciously. But this is a rôle utterly repugnant to all Louis Napoleon's prejudices and tastes. He cannot bear to be controlled by an assembly, to take his ministers from its majority, to submit his conduct to its criticism. I am convinced that he had much rather remain President of the Republic, with a vague, undefined, and, as he thinks, independent power, than become a constitutional king, acting under the advice of his ministers and with little real power of choosing them. "Of course I do not mean to say that he is satisfied to be a mere president. What I affirm is, merely that he prefers it to being a constitutional king. "What he would wish, is to be a king like Henry IV. or one of your Tudor sovereigns. He would not object perhaps to a senate, which might always pay him compliments, and sometimes give him advice, which might take on itself the details of legislation, and register and promulgate his decrees. "But, like his uncle, he wishes to govern." Tuesday, February 4, 1851. We expected, in the evening, letters and papers from France; but a continuance of easterly winds has delayed the packet, and none arrived. Tocqueville is very uncomfortable. "I voted," he said, "against Louis Napoleon, partly for the very reason which induced the great majority to support him, because he is a Bonaparte, and partly from my deep distrust of his character. But when we had him, I was anxious that we should keep on good terms with him. To be sure he is essentially Prince, the rôle of Washington would have no charm for him. He has believed for twenty years that it is his destiny to be the permanent ruler of France, and his rashness is equal to his confidence. Still, I think that it would have been possible, for a time at least, to avoid a rupture, and I have done all in my power to avert one. In all my letters, I have urged my friends to endeavour to conciliate him. "But now that the conflict has come, I earnestly wish that the Assembly may get the better. If the President succeeds, if his powers, already perhaps too large for a representative government, are prolonged and consolidated, he and his court will become the masters of France. . . . The late debates have shown us for the first time a party, calling itself the President's friends. They are endeavouring to form into a permanent party, the minority of 286.* "That minority consisted originally of as many shades as the majority. There were those who wished merely to blame one portion of the conduct of the ministers there there were those who did not intend even to blame, but merely to express regret I trust that it will dissolve now that the accident which created it has passed; but if it does not, if it crystallizes into a party, such a minority, opposed to such a disunited majority, will soon become the most powerful body in the Assembly. "The people, too, are now in a state of mind in which whatever be its follies, or its usurpations, they will side with the executive. They are thoroughly sick of revolutions, and would sacrifice the constitution to avoid a contest." "It is lucky," I said, "that if your constitution is in danger, it is not a more valuable one. If we were to lose ours, we should think our loss irreparable; but you could run up one as good as this in a few weeks." "The constitution," he answered, "is detestable; but it gives us shelter. "There is no saying what might happen in the interregnum. It is of some importance, too, to consider what is the character of the man who aspires to be our ruler. You think in England, I know, that he is essentially pacific; that he represents the party of order, and that it is safer to have to deal with him than with the Assembly. Just at present, while he is thinking only of the means of buying friends and crushing enemies, he is quiescent; but he has notions about the part which France ought to play in the affairs of Europe which might make him a very disagreeable, perhaps a very dangerous, member of the political world." Sorrento, Sunday, February 9, 1851. The papers brought us in the evening the meagre result of the "interpellations" addressed to the new French Ministry on the 28th. "The Assembly," said Tocqueville, "has acted as a large heterogeneous body may be expected to act. It has made an attack, and recoiled—shown its anger, and perhaps its impotence. I have no fear that what may be called the liberties of France, such as they are, will be diminished. We have now enjoyed legal government for thirty-two years; and we shall retain it. But I fear that the monarchical element in our institutions will gain more strength, and that the representative body will be made weaker than has been the case with either of them since the Empire. "As for the Assembly, the probability seems to be that until it is roused in May by the great question of the revision of the constitution, it will sink into inactivity. It has, indeed, much to do if it chooses to employ itself. There are the laws respecting mortgages to be almost re-made—there is a poor-law to be invented—there are municipal institutions to be created; but I fear that after the excitement of this struggle, it will be disgusted by its ill success, be unable to act cordially with the President, or with ministers whom it despises, and will fritter away the next two months on trifles, or in undignified disputes between the Royalist parties and the Montagne." "Will the revision of the constitution," I said, "be a matter of earnest debate? I thought that everybody was agreed as to its necessity." "Everybody," answered Tocqueville, "is agreed as to the badness of the constitution; but not only will it be a matter vehemently debated, but I doubt whether the requisite majority, three-fourths, will be obtained. All the parties who fear that it will be altered in a manner unfavourable to themselves will oppose the revision. "The Montagnards, of course, will oppose it. They know that the next constitution will be less republican than this is; and I am not sure what will be the conduct of either the Legitimists, the Orleanists, or the Imperialists, if any one of them should fear to be a loser." Sorrento, February 10, 1851. The ladies on donkies, the men on foot, walked to the mountain over the Cape, and thence home by a sort of staircase cut or beaten out on the face of the precipice. We talked of the great writers of the eighteenth century. Les quatre, it was agreed, were Voltaire, Montesquieu, Rousseau, and Buffon. "Whom," said Ampère to Tocqueville, "do you put highest?" "Voltaire," answered Tocqueville. "Nothing can exceed the clearness, the finesse, the gaiety, and yet the simplicity of his style. He had a right to answer as he did, to a lady who talked to him about the beauty of his phrases. 'Madame, je n'ai jamais fait une phrase de ma vie.' "* "Next, perhaps as to style, comes Buffon, sometimes indeed a little on stilts; the reader easily believes what we are told, that he never wrote except full dressed, and bien poudré, but brilliant, and flowing, and sometimes even poetical. Montesquieu is a little artificial; and Rousseau in his earlier works, indulged in long sentences, managed it is true, with wonderful skill, but still giving to them a laboured air.—It is on his 'Confessions' that his fame will rest." We talked of Talleyrand. I said that he appeared to me, to have been very indiscreet—that nothing could be more indiscreet than his celebrated aphorism, "that language was given to a man to disguise his thoughts." "I do not know," answered Tocqueville, "that he is to be called indiscreet; for indiscretion is the frankness of a man who does not know that he is laying bare what ought to be kept covered. Talleyrand knew perfectly well that he was talking imprudently; but he yielded to the temptation of a bon mot, a temptation which no Frenchman resists; and perhaps he was right in doing so, for the charms of his conversation were among the means of his success. It was principally through them that he captivated Bonaparte." "Had Bonaparte," I asked, "good taste in society?" "Better," answered Tocqueville, "than in most other things. His feelings were all aristocratic. He liked people of birth and refinement. He never forgot that he was gentilhomme himself; and though there was something brusque in his general manner; he could be delightful when he chose." "The empire," I said, "must have been an amusing time." "Not very much," answered Tocqueville, "for civilians; they were obscured by the military reputations; and military life passed away almost too rapidly to be called amusing. I have heard of whole regiments which in a few years were killed three times over. It seems absurd to say so, but one gets accustomed to being killed. A short time before I left Paris, I was talking to an old friend, Rulhières, who passed through most of the campaigns of the Grand Armée. He told me that at Friedland his men stood motionless for two hours before a Russian battery; the only sound heard was the voice of an officer, who, whenever a man was struck cried, 'Emportez le, et serrez vos rangs.' Nothing but twenty years' of war, that is to say, the traditionary rules of conduct formed during twenty years' of war, could enable men to exhibit this patient self-devotion. "Our revolutionary armies were fanatically daring; but they had not this passive heroism. They would have dashed at the battery, and have been blown to pieces. "Rulhières," he added, "told me a characteristic story of a Russian. He was a man of high rank, who had been sent to our head-quarters on a mission, and lived for some time on intimate terms with our staff, particularly with Rulhières. At the battle of Eylau Rulhières was taken prisoner. He caught the eye of his Russian friend, who came to offer his services. 'You can do me,' said Rulhières, 'an important service. One of your Cossacks yonder has just seized my horse and cloak. I am dying of fatigue and cold. If you can get them for me, you may save my life.' "The Russian went to the Cossack, talked to him rather sharply, probably on the wickedness of robbing a prisoner; got possession of the horse and cloak; put on the one, and mounted the other, and Rulhières never saw him again." Thursday, February 13, 1851. We walked and rode to the Camaldoli convent, and returned by the eastern side of the mountain. Tocqueville talked of the resemblance of the present state of affairs in France to that which existed under the constitution of l'an 3, or of 1795, before the coup d'état of the 18 Fructidor. "In each case," said Tocqueville, "the constitution was made by a single Assembly which had succeeded to a constitutional monarchy, and had ruled despotically, comprehending in itself absolute legislative and absolute executive power. "In each case an attempt was made to keep the powers separate—to have an executive totally deprived of legislative authority, not possessing even a veto, and a legislative body confined to the business of legislation. In the constitution of 1795 the separation was made complete, for members of the legislative body were excluded from all public functions. The present constitution allows them to be ministers. "At this instant, however, when not a single minister is a member of the Assembly, the practical result of each constitution is the same. And even when the ministers were taken from the Assembly, the number is so small that more than 740 members had nothing to do but to make laws. "Now this is not enough to occupy them; and, even if it were, an Assembly elected by the people, and believing itself to be the supreme power, cannot resist the temptation to take part in the actual government of the country. "The least that it requires is that the government should be carried on by ministers in whom it has confidence. But the supreme executive power has the same pretension. Not only the power, but the duty of selecting the ministers belongs to it. Under the constitution of 1795, therefore, as under that of 1848, the choice of ministers became a subject of quarrel between the executive and legislative authorities. "The Directory was in appearance far less formidable than our President is. It was a composite body, and a fluctuating one. What was more important, it was nominated not by the people, but by the legislature; and what was more important still, the nation was against it. "The nation, at least that part of the nation which then possessed political power, was royalist. Not, perhaps, Bourbonist, but, as it showed two years after the 18th Fructidor, monarchical. And yet the executive then trampled under foot the legislative, almost without a struggle. It did so, simply because the army was on its side. The mobs of Marseilles and Paris, and the army, were the only democratic bodies in France. "We had conquered Europe, under the cry of war against kings. Every soldier hoped that, under democratic institutions, he should become an officer; and almost every officer who was a roturier, dreaded that if the ancien régime was re-established, he would lose all hope of advancement, perhaps even his commission. The army, therefore, sided with the democratic executive against the aristocratic or monarchical legislature. And it was irresistible—who can say that it would not be so now? "Perhaps the best defence of a national guard is the enormous power of the army. It is seldom that a national guard can be relied on against a mob; but it is a great protection against the army, for the soldiers are not easily induced to fire on persons in uniform." [*]"The assembly declares that it has not confidence in the ministry, and passes to the order of the day."—Tr. [*]On M. St. Beuve's amendment.—Tr. [*]"Never wrote a phrase in my life." |

goBalto, Inc. expands Tracker 2.0′s analytics and submissions features
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — goBalto, Inc. announced today that the latest release of its signature product, Tracker 2.0, is now available.
With its 9th release, Tracker adds critical path reporting and a submissions manager. Now, clinical study managers can view the percentage of sites activated and the milestones blocking study startup completion, without having to wait for status reports that normally take up to a week.
The new critical path reports show all the documents and submissions along the critical path to key company milestones, and the overall status of all milestones for a study. There's a version that's suitable for country managers and another for printing and sending to sponsors.
The submissions manager allows specialists to plan and track documents to be included in an ethics or regulatory committee submission. A submission status report shows which study country and site documents are complete for a submission, and which ones are still in progress.
Jae Chung, founding CEO of goBalto, stated, "The life sciences industry is continually seeking ways to be more efficient in how they get their clinical studies started. Our new release focuses on innovation, going to the heart of how we can best help our partners quickly identify and resolve bottlenecks. In this critical phase of the process, our customers can't afford to wait multiple days for status or wonder how ready they are to complete a submission."

Our flagship product, Tracker, is a purpose-built software-as-a-service clinical research platform.

Se tirar uma meia dúzia de frases de efeito e coloca-las em um outro contexto, parecem que significam muito mais do que o autor realmente queria. Ele queria fazer um livro de arte da guerra. É quase como pegar o livro de receitas de Dona Benta e interpretar a frase "a qualidade dos ingredientes faz o bolo" como algo super profundo. Inspiration comes from many places and The Art of War is one of those books mentioned frequently in my circles. It's one of those books I've been meaning to get to for years and, while I am not sorry that I finally got to it, its usefulness to me is limited. Most of the non-strategic advice is good leadership advice. Things such as being a leader means setting the standard for how the work should be done, including getting one's hands dirty with the lowliest tasks. I've read plenty of stuff about leadership, and setting the example, that there really wasn't anything new for me here. Since I'm not interested in military strategies, the rest was dry. From a strictly historic perspective, I can understand the importance of this treatise. But as an outstanding example of leadership and strategy in the 21st century? I'm not seeing it. Don't like this edition. The history is boring and confusing (chi, Ch'i, ch'i all mean different things) 1 star for the edition and history part. The actual Art of War is good. 3 stars.
Sun Tzuova knjiga Umeće ratovanja, je jedno od najznačajnijih klasičnih kineskih dela. Ova knjiga ne sadrži ni jednu zastarelu maksimu ili nejasno uputstvo. Najbolje je pobediti bez borbe, rekao je Sun Tzu. Za njega je rat bio sastavni deo života. Pažljivo pročitajte ovu knjigu, i sve savremene knjige koje govore o upravljanju državom više vam se neće činiti dostojne pažnje. Ralph Sawyer has produced a lively translation, with a historical essay and explanatory notes, of Sun-tzu's classic work. [...] Sun-tzu has nothing to teach us about the technological aspects of war or the logistics required to feed a modern army, and his work obviously cannot speak to certain complex political relations between modern nations. But Sun-tzu's book has much value, for it says a lot about how a commander should approach his enemy, how he should decide to attack or to retreat, how to outsmart an enemy, and what it takes to be victorious. He presents his ideas in a logical, principled way that is consistent with his deeper philosophy of nature.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0195014766, Paperback)Like Machiavelli's The Prince and the Japanese Book of Five Rings, Sun Tzu's The Art of War is as timely for business people today as it was for military strategists in ancient China. Written in China more than 2,000 years ago, Sun Tzu's classic The Art of War is the first known study of the planning and conduct of military operations. These terse, aphoristic essays are unsurpassed in comprehensiveness and depth of understanding, examining not only battlefield maneuvers, but also relevant economic, political, and psychological factors. Indeed, the precepts outlined by Sun Tzu regularly applied outside the realm of military theory. It is read avidly by Japanese businessmen and was touted in the movie Wall Street as the corporate raider's bible.Providing a much-needed translation of this classic, Samuel Griffith has made this powerful and unique work even more relevant to the modern world. Including an explanatory introduction and selected commentaries on the work, this edition makes Sun Tzu's timeless classic perfectly accessible to modern readers. (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:18:33 -0400) This new translation of the Chinese masterpiece of military strategy helps readers apply the principles of military victory to the relationships in their own lives and teaches how to bring about the desired outcome in all the challenges of life. |

As mentioned in the previous 36 installments of this feature, I am deathly allergic to horses, a fact that Seymour found delightful as he split into several hundred copies and began plowing the field. I stood on an unplowed portion of the field in a suit and hat and contemplated how long it would take me to rid myself of this boring magical horse. When I was promised a magical horse, I was really expecting something more along the lines of Twilight Sparkle.
Please tune in next week for another exciting installment of my adventures with Seymour the Magical Plowing Horse. For now, it's time for a word from our sponsors about WRUP. Several words, in fact, contained in list form past the break. Words that describe what the Massively staff will be up to over the weekend. It's probably more interesting than this bizarre horse thing, so you should stick around for that.
@nbrianna: I'm predictable. Guild Wars 2. Torchlight II. Skyrim. Modding the roaches out of Torchlight II. Modding the bad grammar out of Skyrim. And that thing I can't talk about. Good times.
@Eliot_Lefebvre: Aside from something I can't talk about, I'll be playing in Star Wars: The Old Republic and The Last Story. I'll also be getting ready for my Star Trek Online adventure starting next week.
@elixabethclaire: I'm uh, still playing Guild Wars 2. I bet you're all super surprised at that. I may even play it next weekend, too. I had kind of a quiet gaming week, so I'm hoping to spend the weekend checking out some of the new guild content and hopefully a fractal run or three.
@irljasmine: So much valor to earn in World of Warcraft, so little time. I'm sitting at roughly 5,000/6,000 valor in my legendary quest chain, and after I hit the weekly valor cap, I'll be hopping back into Renaissance Heroes to fulfill my growing desire to shooting people in the face with hearts. I want to get every last drop of entertainment out of my pink and red, heart covered, Valentine's Day crossbow. Deadly, yet fabulous.
@Sypster: "Dailies" is the operative word in my gaming life right now. Guild Wars 2's choose-your-own-dailies has made logging in a unique experience, and I've just begun to rebuild Hytbold in Lord of the Rings Online, which requires like 44 straight days of dailies. Fun? A chore? Probably a mixture of both.
@MJ_Guthrie: My game time is curtailed this weekend, but what I have available will be spent checking out the Yarruka's Dungeon Wars event in The Secret World (assuming it is still on as the post disappeared) and soaking up tons of giddy fun in Clone Wars Adventures. Just a few minutes in that browser game totally addicted me!
@mackeypb: Still League of Legends and Age of Wushu. Been slacking a bit on GW2, hopefully I'll get some time on it. No promises, though. Either way, just the daily grind on those; nothing really new or exciting just yet.
@RichieProcopio: The February patch for Guild Wars 2 is here and there's so much to do! I need to participate in the living story, run guild missions, do the pick-your-own dailies, run the revamped Ascalonian Catacombs dungeon, and continue to hoard materials for my eventual legendary. So that covers Friday night. On Saturday, I need to...
@terilynns: This weekend I will be enjoying my brand-new Kumari escort in Star Trek Online. I bought the three-ship pack last week and got to play with it for only a few hours and realized very quickly I was in love. She may not be as sleek as the Armitage, and she's a messy fighter, but dang is she fun to fly!
At the start of every weekend, we catch up with the Massively staff members and ask them, "What are you playing this week?" (Otherwise known as: WRUP!) Join us to see what we're up to in and out of game -- and catch us in the comments to let us know what you're playing, too!

Tabs back down under, but...
Yeah that seems to be becoming the trend - just keep pushing whacky UI decisions on us, and then just when we're getting used to the changes, pull the rug out from under us, and whatever you do, DON'T give any options!
Tabs back down under, but... Almost!
By enabling Safari Tweak menu, it seems that you can revert the Tabs on top (for what it worth)...
Tabs back down under, but...
If you hide the toolbar (like with Cmd-|, being Cmd-pipe), then hitting Cmd-L will make it pop down to allow for changing the location. Hit Enter and the toolbar disappears again. However, if you don't hit Enter (but, for example hit Cmd-R to refresh, or Tab to get out of there) then indeed it no longer seems hidden... :-(
Tabs back down under, but...
It also appears that despite the tabs being back down under the toolbar, the oval to collapse the toolbar at the right corner has not returned. The lack of that standard UI functionality was my issue with the change in the first place.
I totally agree with everyone who thinks Apple has a nasty habit of insisting on "their way of the highway" when it comes to UI issues. Preferences for a lot of different things about the OSX and Apple program UIs would make a lot of people happy, but that would "upset the vision," I guess.

I can't wait to get one next year!!!
Pros: can be very tame when haddled regulary great for chidren
Cons: can be flighty at first or when not handled
great birds i recomend to all ages shapes and sizes :D
Pros: Calm, friendly, precocious, smart, good layers and brooders
Cons: A hard-to find-breed, the eggs are small
I have light-brown variety. These birds are curious, very quick learners, and friendly. Great for kids, as pets or house chickens. They are small, even for bantams. Small enough so their scratching does not ruin the garden. Mine have been good layers and awesome brooders. The hens' coloration makes them harder for hawks to spot than many other breeds, and they demonstrate good defensive instincts when birds of prey are around. I adore these birds, really not interested in any others now! I have not seen them offered by hatcheries, have to get them from a breeder in the region.
Most wonderful rooster. Simply gorgeous. When crossed with Ameraucana hens (who he seemed to prefer) made GORGEOUS babies!

My Sports Rumors:
Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland is already up to his old tricks and having fun with reporters. Leyland spoke with reporters this morning before the Tigers first workout. Jim who has said in the past that he will never participate on Twitter did have his own iPad propped up on his desk. So you know they had to ask him about that.
"I FaceTimed with my wife this morning," Leyland said Tuesday morning. "She looked good."
Leyland was asked if he thought his wife said the same thing about him when their FaceTime session ended.
"She did not say that," he said. "In fact, when I see myself on this FaceTime, I see what everybody says about how old I look. I think I look pretty good until I get on that camera. I look like (expletive). The wrinkles I don't see in the mirror I see on there." (MLive)
Funny stuff there and it's what makes Spring Training fun at the beginning. Everyone is joking around and enjoying themselves before the long grind of the season.

For me, this has worked quite well. I really make little effort to monetize the blog, because most readers follow the links into the main site.
Blogs can be used for a wide variety of things. For example, one of my sites covers a niche that often has changes several times a week. I am able to use the blog format to provide a bit more detail (still very brief) of changes that have just been announced. Typically each such announcement contains several links back into my main site where folks can get more details and see the related histories, etc.
