The Cincinnati Reds have signed pitcher Scott Diamond to a minor league deal according to Darren Wolfson of 1500espn.com.
Diamond began the year on the disabled list after undergoing an offseason surgery to remove bone spurs from his elbow. Originally supposed to be a starting pitcher for the Minnesota Twins, he instead continued his rehabilitation. Once healthy enough to pitch, he fell short and went 6-13 with a 5.43 ERA before a demotion to Triple-A. Over the past two seasons, he has spend the majority of his time in the majors with the Twins. In his first complete season in 2012, he pitched in 173 innings where he compiled a 12-9 record in addition to an exceptional 3.54 ERA. That season he lead the league in walks per nine innings.
Scott Diamond to Reds, per source. Had a few offers. Will report to AAA. #mntwins
— Darren Wolfson (@DarrenWolfson) July 16, 2014
Once playing in Triple-A, Diamond played even worse. He posted a 6.52 ERA and 2.13 K/BB in eighty innings out of the rotation. He was then released over the past weekend to clear a spot on the roster.
In a rather short major league career, spanning from 2011 to 2013, Diamond has recorded a 19-27 record, while tallying 342 innings, along with a 4.43 ERA, 1.44 K/BB, 1.4 WAR and a 4.46 FIP.
Now with the Reds organization, Diamond has a chance to turn it around and make an impact in their Triple-A affiliate. The acquisition adds left-handed pitching depth to the roster, however he will need to prove he can pitch well again and for the time being is merely an average addition to the team.

One problem: These phones are most likely to reach the promised top speeds in just one town: Kankakee, Ill.
Sprint has said it will offer 4G LTE service by June in six larger markets—Kansas City, Mo., Baltimore, Dallas, San Antonio, Atlanta and Houston—and that the service will cover 120 million people by the end of the year.
But, for now, the Illinois town about 60 miles south of Chicago, with a population of 27,537, is the only spot Sprint will name where the service is up and running.
It's not clear why Sprint chose this town, whose average poverty rate between 2006 and 2010 was 31.2%, compared with 13.8% nationwide, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

The term "4G" is used to describe a new, much faster generation of cellular data on smartphones, tablets and other devices. But there are multiple varieties of 4G and conflicting claims by providers. WSJ's Walt Mossberg takes a look at who actually benefits from 4G and how it compares with other download methods.
The company says the lack of broad 4G LTE service shouldn't affect handset sales. But it could risk a backlash from customers who are drawn to one of the new devices only to find they can't exploit its full potential.

Apple has said in its defense that it disclosed where the device would and wouldn't work.
More broadly, Sprint's strategy risks further muddying the concept of 4G technology, which many consumers already find confusing. The wireless industry began numbering its networks in the past decade, when carriers upgraded to 3G—for third generation—which promised faster data connections.
The next step is to super-fast 4G, but the definition of 4G has blurred.

Despite its current status as a laggard, Sprint offered the first 4G network in the U.S., through its partner Clearwire Corp. , as well as the nation's first 4G phone, nearly two years ago. But that network, WiMax, has failed to get broad international support. Sprint instead decided to build out LTE to gain control of its own network and because it was gaining broader recognition through Verizon Wireless and AT&T.
Now, Sprint is trying to make up for lost time.
Wireless carriers say the LTE version of 4G offers speeds as much as 10 times faster than the more ubiquitous 3G networks. Sprint is hoping to have a complete nationwide 4G LTE network by the end of next year.
The carriers all are scrambling to beef up their networks to get ahead of their increasingly data-hungry customers, who are downloading movies, music and photos to their phones and other mobile devices as never before. Upgrading to 4G LTE helps relieve congestion because the service can handle data traffic more efficiently than previous technologies.
While customers in big markets such as Seattle, Los Angeles and Miami will have to wait for Sprint's new network to reach them, the carrier will begin national sales next week of the Viper 4G LTE smartphone, made by LG Electronics Co.

"People want to have a product with the newest and latest technology," said Fared Adib, Sprint senior vice president of product. "They'll have a product that's ready for the future."
AT&T, which today has 31 4G LTE markets, introduced its first two LTE-capable smartphones in November, the same day it expanded the service to four new markets, including Boston, Washington and Baltimore, giving it a total of nine. Verizon Wireless, a joint venture of Verizon Communications Inc. and Vodafone Group PLC, had 4G LTE in 38 markets when its Thunderbolt smartphone went on sale a year ago.
Despite the two carriers' efforts, 4G LTE has been slow to take hold, in part because Apple's popular iPhone doesn't yet operate on them. Verizon Wireless said recently a mere 5% of its customers were using devices designed for the technology. AT&T hasn't disclosed what percentage of its users are on its LTE network.
For Sprint dealers, the launch of the LTE phone means walking a tightrope: selling customers on the new technology without turning them off with the fact that they might not be able to tap its abilities right away.
"I find it interesting that they've launched the LTE product nationwide without the network more in place," said George Colonel, an independent Sprint dealer with four stores in the Cincinnati area. "But unfortunately, sometimes that's how it's done."
Mr. Colonel said he will likely encourage customers to buy LTE phones, rather than devices running on WiMax, while noting to them they will have to wait a few months before they can get 4G speeds. Mr. Colonel said he didn't know when Sprint would bring LTE to Cincinnati.
"The fact that people won't have LTE in their markets might not really be an issue, because they'll probably not even be aware of it," said Ramon Llamas, an IDC Corp. analyst, adding that many consumers don't understand the distinction between the various 4G offering. A study last year by the electronics review website Retrevo showed that 34% of consumers mistakenly thought their iPhone was 4G-capable.
"A lot of people don't know what 4G means," said Sprint's Mr. Adib.

Elderly Women Deserve Personal Touch
By R Swaminathan
Published: 08th March 2014 06:00 AM
Last Updated: 08th March 2014 01:53 AM
The status and plight of women will be discussed in several fora today but proper attention needs to be given to the plight of aged sisters and mothers who live in despicable conditions or total neglect. Some are active, alert and can provide deep insight into complicated issues. They deserve help in more ways than one. Their basic needs of nutrition and health care are not taken care of in many cases. Those who did not miss opportunities to succeed in their field of activity are missing something great today—it could be health care, attention from family, private time with others around them and more frequent interaction with their own children. Loneliness is the number one killer and depression aggravates all other ailments.
Due to compulsions of career and temptations of living abroad, most children only bother to send financial assistance for those who brought them into this earth. They scarcely have time to talk to them, not to speak of personal visits. The aged long for company, especially those who have lost their spouses. When the children move away, the aged woman looks upon her husband as the only companion for comfort, confidence and courage. When he too falls due to sickness and old age and the woman becomes crippled due to advancing age, losing her sense of sight or hearing, her world crumbles.
Women who have gone through a life maze full of twists and turns, ups and down, crave for love and attention. The elders need to prepare themselves 20 years ahead, on their own or with the assistance of those who stand by them.
Those with resources find an abode in old age homes, and the vast variety of creature comforts in such places are well advertised, bringing the well-to-do to park their mothers/sisters. Little do the children appreciate that what the elders need is personal care, words of solace close-up rather than long-distance phone calls or a conversation on Skype or viewing photo albums online. Even while living with parents and grandparents, the kids these days give little importance to human relationship/values. The younger ones feel gadgets can be a good radio collar and will provide instant contact with the elders. They are sadly mistaken just as those who think TV serials can replace the playing children in big homes of the distant past. Those admitted to old age homes fret and fume that they miss all social contact and cultural activity. Participation that they expect in important family events is totally denied or is unavailable.
There are those who, for family harmony and personal convenience, try to place the aged women in independent homes, with duly appointed caregivers. Even regular visits by the physician are arranged. The elderly women reminisce about their loved ones and the lovable past to spend their time. Sadly, compulsions of modern living go against them. Let us give a big salute to the women—aged, alone, afflicted or abandoned— this Women's Day.

Macabre Kingdom
Anmeldt av Jørgen Garmann(Xtreem Music, 2012)
Karakter: 5/6
Putrevore, the collaboration project between death metal master minds Rogga Johansson (Demiurg, Bone Gnawer, Paganizer, Revolting) and Dave Rotten (Avulsed, Christ Denied) is back with their second effort "Macabre Kingdom".
Both musicians have their plate full with various other bands/projects so it´s been four years since their first output, 2008´s "Morphed From Deathbreath" (the album title based on the fact that they called themself Deathbreath from 2004-2007).
Their musikal direction is of course pure unrelenting death metal in the veins of the old school formula. Deep and murky vocal based on simple but effective arrangements that are quite catchy and melodic. The production is top notch with all instruments prominent in the mix. The dark sound really fit´s the slower riff parts very well and again, the vocal fits those parts just perfect.
"Macabre Kingdom" contains nine tracks with just the kind of death metal I know you like. Recommended!

Hélène Grimaud proves again that she does music her way
A review of the Nov. 1, 2012, recital in Seattle by pianist Hélène Grimaud.
Special to The Seattle Times
It has been almost a dozen years since Hélène Grimaud played the President's Piano Series, and it is clear that those intervening years have not changed Grimaud's unique approach to music: She does it her way.
Her way includes an amazing technical ability, as the French-born pianist made clear in the huge Liszt Sonata in B Major that was the blizzard-of-notes centerpiece of the program. It also includes an approach to other works (particularly Mozart) that sounded harsh, clattery and just plain stylistically wrong.
You could practically feel ripples of dismay in Meany Theater during the Mozart Sonata in A Minor (K. 310), which was loud and overpedaled — as if Grimaud were channeling the spirit of Brahms or Liszt. The sonority sounded forced and stylistically all wrong for Mozart, as did the odd variations in tempo from bar to bar.
Grimaud has played this exact program (Mozart, Alban Berg, Liszt and Bartok) repeatedly over the last few years, so it's a mystery why she used a score and a page-turner for the Berg Sonata; that work should certainly be in her memory, as well as her fingers, by now. Turbulent and complicated, Berg's early one-movement Sonata moves in dozens of different directions, with its late-romantic tonality distorted as if reflected in a fun-house mirror. Grimaud gave it a surging energy.
After intermission came the Liszt Sonata, and the best playing of the night. This monumental one-movement work taxes the pianist in every way: it's a horrendous technical challenge, and its improvisatory feel makes a cohesive interpretation of the Sonata highly difficult. Grimaud made a great case for doing the Liszt her way, often at top speed, a tempo that sometimes defeated even her dizzying dexterity. This is all-out playing that holds nothing back, and Grimaud's white-hot intensity with all those parallel octaves and leaping chords is exciting to witness. Many in the Meany audience rose for an ovation after the final note died away.
Charming, but anticlimactic, was the brief set of six Bartok "Romanian Folk Dances" that followed the Liszt. Grimaud played two encores: Gluck's "Mélodie" ("Dance of the Blessed Spirits") from the opera "Orfeo ed Euridice," arranged by Giovanni Sgambati, and then a brief, ethereal Nouvelle Etude No. 1 in F Minor of Frédéric Chopin.
One nonmusical note: Perhaps it is time to reconsider the very lengthy preconcert announcements, which offer information that is usually (or should be) available in the program.

some of my favorite jeans! love the length! perfect for heels! they are a lower rise so sometimes they slip down, but all in all, flattering staple jeans! April 11, 2014
Great Jeans These fit great and wash/wear well. I would definitely recommend! April 7, 2014
Love, love, love Incredible jean... and I am a jean nut. I own Hudson, Seven's, Guess, BKE, Rock Revival, Paige, Rick & Skinny, MEK, Miss Me, Citizens, Victoria's Secret, DL1961 and this pair is incredible. A great medium wash for that crisp jeans and a button down look, tucked in slouchy tee, frilly blouse and blazer, sweater, anything. Not my go-to for the dark wash jean dressed up look, but that next step down. They are low, so don't be frustrated when you order them. I have a lean waist and a booty - 5'6" 134, muscly with some padding (36-27-37) and I wear a size 4 in most brands (or a 27). I just tuck a tank into it and I am all set. They give a little bit, but are not a stretch jean. They are not stiff like a standard yucky denim jean. This is something different. They never stretch out, the bootcut opening is a nice long lean look, not like a flare. I love these jeans. I will be ordering another pair just so I have a back up. :) March 29, 2014
Stella Jeans Thse jeans are great I love Express jeans, I have problems with jeans fitting my waist, these you can wear no gap in the waist. I live the length you can wear almost any heel length with these jeans. Dress them up or down. March 20, 2014
Perfect! Absolutely love these jeans! I usually have a difficult time with jeans because I have a small waist and a bigger rear end and these are amazing! Would highly recommend! Two pairs of these jeans I've had for about 8 years and they still look new! February 23, 2014

Diner Reviews
We visited N9NE for the second
time this year on 8/16/14. For our first course, I ordered French onion soup and my husband ordered a Caesar salad. The soup was very, very salty (I am a salt-a-holic, but it was too salty for me) and there was a LARGE amount of cheese. My husband's Caesar salad was a very generous portion and had an appropriate amount of dressing- not too much- not too little; they use mixed greens, not romaine. For our main meal, my husband ordered the bone-in ribeye, I had the scallops,. and shared jalapeno scalloped potatoes. We both agreed our meals were mediocre for the price. Very few wines on the wine list less that $100. Atmosphere was terribly loud; loud rock music and lots of people. But, service was great."

Steaks were amazing and lobster
was cooked perfect. Service was excellent and very friendly. To top off the night, Will Smith was dinning in the restaurant that night!"
Dined on 8/15/2014
We went on recommendation from a
coworker. He was not wrong at all. The Lobster Ravioli was much better than anticipated (my favorite part). The wife liked her fish just fine, and my steak was perfect. Service was great, always around if he was needed. I am by no means an upscale eater, and some of the food gave me pause with the ingredients list. But, if it is half as good as our meal was, then it has to be delicious. Finished it off with the s'mores, and they were much better than expected. Do not be afraid of the bill at the end, it is well worth it."

Have loved this place for years,
great to see it is still around with all the other changes and closures going on at The Palms. The gnochhi aren't to be missed."

To start off, I was with someone
and we were celebrating a birthday. Our waiter, Phillip was phenomenal... Took care of our every need. Ordered the Mac and cheese( AWESOME!!)... Stuffed mushrooms (pretty good)... And lobster ravioli( good but a lot of spinach fling, not enough lobster). Dessert was the smores( sooooo good!!!)"

Our waiters name was Robert and he
was wonderful!! Very nice very friendly and really prompt. This was our 2nd time at your restaurant and we will def be back."

We have been to NINE many times
while visiting Vegas and it is always wonderful. We brought our son and a friend out for the Aerosmith concert and wanted to introduce them this place. We all ordered steaks and everyone talked about them for the rest of our stay. Service is great and you usually spot someone who is currently famous or has been in the past. Cant wait to return."

My Birthday dinner was Amazing!
Service tops! Food Amazing!!!"
Dined on 7/31/2014
Staff was friendly and service
outstanding. Food was delicious and there was plenty of great menu items to choose from. Add the peppercorn to any steak for an over the top taste experience."

We celebrated my husbands 50th
birthday here. I was so glad we did. Steak was amazing,lobster mashed potatoes to die for, and special attention for his birthday! Couldn't have been better"
Dined on 7/31/2014
I went to Picasso for my birthday
for over a decade. Last year, I branched out to N9ne and repeated it again last weekend. It is still a tad loud in there, but I can't care about that because the food is amazing...all of it. I can't complain about anything. Buffalo chicken wontons, garbage salad, ribeye, filet, calamari, au gratin potatoes, gnocchi (pricey at $1 per gnocchi, but to die for) and you can't miss the smore's...those raspberry marshmallows blew my mind. It is pricey, so I don't go more than a couple of times per year. I highly recommend splitting steaks because they are huge. I don't know why I keep ordering the 22-oz ribeye, when I only eat 1/6 of it."
Dined on 7/26/2014
The service was outstanding as
well as the meal. I would definitely recommend the restaurant."
Dined on 7/23/2014
Great service...very
accommodating. We celebrated our anniversary there. Eric was an awesome server and made our night extra special."
Dined on 7/22/2014
We celebrated our 20th anniversary
with a fabulous dinner at Nine. Brian did a great job as our server, giving us great recommendations. It was a bit louder than I expected for an upscale steakhouse, but we got over that very quickly with the wonderful food and wine. I highly recommend the Tomohawk dinner for two. It was like Chateaubriand, but with rib eye and other surprises. We topped it off with a great visit to the Ghostbar on the 55th floor. Nine and the Ghostbar was a great combination for anyone that wants a high energy celebration."
Dined on 7/19/2014
Terrible place for a good dinner.
Nothing notable about the restaurant at all. To be perfectly honest, I was highly dissappointed with the whole experience."
Dined on 7/17/2014
I dont believe in reviews because
most of them I don't believe are real. I believe that that people who write reviews have way too much time on there hands. But let me tell you this is a real review. The food was amazing, resturaunt was beautiful, service was top notch. Overall a great experience. The sat us in the back of the restaurant away from the groups of people. The server brought us out complementary teriyaki beef kabobs from the chef. Food was excellent no complaints. Our server reccomended a surf n' turf that wasn't on the menu and I'm glad I chose that. My boyfriend has the bone in porterhouse cooked perfectly. We have been to A LOT of steakhouses and a few in Vegas and N9NE beat out all of them. Definitely a repeat customer."

Dined here for my anniversary, and
I have never been so pleased with my food and service at a steakhouse. My ribeye was cooked to perfect and the mushrooms are a must have!!!!"

Loved everything I ate. Amazing.
Went there the first time I was in Vegas and it's probably been like 5 years. Better this than last!!"

High quality food that looks as
good as it tastes. Creative menu options with something for everyone. Definitely worth the higher-than-average prices. Service was just as good. Would highly recommend trying at least once."

Get the spicy au grating potatoes! Server was slow to respond."

We went to N9NE for our 10 year
anniversary dinner. I ordered the French onion soup, my husband the lobster bisque. Both were excellent, but not heavy. A good thing. For main course, I had the small filet, med-rare and my husband ordered the porter house, medium. Both were perfectly cooked, not over seasoned and so tender you could cut them with a fork. We ordered two sides, but could have gotten away with just one because they are large. We went with a red wine as recommended by Phillip, our server. It was nicely paired. We were served a complimentary dessert for the occasion and also had 2 glasses of champagne. My husband and I both had dessert wines, a cognac and port. We highly recommend N9NE. Great food, service and ambiance."

My wife and I have eaten here
about 3 times because the food is so good. The couple that we took there for the first time said it was absolutely the best steak that they have ever had! The service is outstanding as well."

By choice, we chose to sit at the
bar for dinner. We liked the updates in the dining room from the recent remodel. Robert, the bartender/our server, was great. He greeted us right away and introduced himself and the bar staff. I ordered the seared scallop dinner and my husband had the prime rib sliders. My scallops were delicious served with fava bean risotto and smoky bacon. Everything was delicious."

Every bite of steak was like the

Aged ribeye was very delicious,
though not better than Carne Vino or Strip Steak when it comes to aged meat. Carpaccio appetizer was subpar. I had the dover sole and while it was a good meal, it was slightly over cooked and therefore lacking dover sole's quintessential, delicate texture. The service was awkward and unpolished. I am not sure if our server was ill-trained or egocentric, either way he was stand-offish and unwelcoming. The drinks were excellent. I ordered the Cucumber Martini which had both dill and ginger. I would go back just to for a cocktail, but not for a good meal or special occasion. There are many truly exceptional restaurants in Vegas, your money is better spent elsewhere."

We dined here Friday evening. We
had a 7:30 reservation and the place was fairly empty. We started with the rock shrimp. They were delicious. We skipped soup and salads and went right to the main event.y hubby ordered the 22 oz bone in ribeye and baked potato, I the 18 oz dry aged bone in ribeye an lobster mashed. My husband said his steak was one of the best he ever had, mine was just ok. I ordered it medium rare plus, and it was beautifully cooked, I just found it to have no flavor. The lobster mashed completely turned me off- they were swimming in lobster bisque soup. Neither of us cared for them. We shared the banana cream pie for dessert and that was delicious. Our server Robert was impeccable! Over all the experience was just ok."

Our ten year anniv. we take the
time to get dressed up, website says business casual. Group comes in with flip flops n t-shirts cussing and ordering shots. I let the manager know and he basically says they allow that behavior in the summer. Nothing like a fine steak and someone's bare feet! While we are waiting for a cab to go back to our hotel, the same group gets into the hotels limo! Guess this hotel takes money over class."

Great wait staff. Music was a

Everytime we dine here, the food

This is a go to place for us, when
in Vegas. Don't care for the post renovation. It's confused, loud (not energetic) and staff seemed out of sync. What was a work of art for foodies, floundered."

Marco took care of us and set a
new bar for expectations from a food server. The Garbage Salad is the best salad I've ever had in my life. The Bone-In Prime Ribeye was among the best steaks I've ever had. If you need a special place to take a special person, N9NE is the place to be!"
Dined on 6/18/2014
Great food overall but no ambiance
that I enjoy. It is gray, black and plain. The waiters looked like gangsters with their white coats and black shirts; ours seemed preoccupied even though we arrived at 6:00 on a Wednesday with hardly anyone there."

I had eaten here before and loved
this restaurant. Now they have redesigned it and it seems to have lost some of its sexy, vibrant vibe. Food was mediocre and overly salty. Waiter was very nice. Just felt like restaurant had seen better days."

We go to Vegas quite regularly and
enjoy eating at the nicer restaurants. N9NE is as good as it gets . The steak was fabulous and the sided dishes were just as good. The lobster mash potatoes were out of this world. You could make a meal of the side dishes alone but I would not recommend it. Barry the Head Chef came out and talked to us and could not have been any nicer. Definitely will go back in Ontober on our next trip"

Chocolate Liquor
Dark Chocolate
Dark chocolate can refer to a range of chocolates—unsweetened, bittersweet, semisweet —any that have no added milk. What we often think of as chocolate—the sugar-loaded coating of a candy bar—is worlds away from the bitter, deeply complex flavors of unadulterated chocolate products. Fortunately, more and more chocolate producers are creating bars with less sugar and... View Article
White Chocolate
White chocolate is made with a blend of sugar, cocoa butter, milk products, vanilla, and a fatty substance called lecithin. Technically, white chocolate is not a chocolate—and it doesn't really taste like one—because it doesn't contain chocolate solids. When cocoa beans are removed from their pods, fermented, dried, roasted, cracked open, and their shells discarded,... View Article

The Rockford IceHogs are proud to announce that Pat Mullane has been named the team's winner of the IOA/American Specialty AHL Man of the Year award for his outstanding contributions to the Rockford community during the 2013-14 season.
On a young IceHogs squad that has featured up to 11 rookies in the lineup throughout the season, including himself, Mullane came into Rockford and began to set an exemplary model of what it is to be a professional both on and off the ice.
During the week leading up to the IceHogs annual Pink in the Rink game to benefit breast cancer research and awareness, Mullane took it upon himself to add to the IceHogs contribution towards breast cancer research. Through a Twitter initiative sparked by the 23-year-old, over $5,400 was donated by Mullane and matching donors for each follower he gained leading up to the game. Add in the amount raised at the game ($17,000) and over $22,000 was donated to local charities for breast cancer research.
Additionally, Mullane has always jumped at the opportunity to represent the IceHogs in the community. Throughout the campaign, the Wallingford, Conn. native made numerous visits to area schools to read to students or talk about his road to professional sports and battling through adversity. During his visits with area students, Mullane even shared his own personal story of dealing with the loss of his father at a young age.
Mullane has participated in numerous IceHogs community events such as hospital visits, assisting with Jr. IceHogs hockey practices, school reading nights, and helping with the distribution of school workbooks as a part of the IceHogs Adopt-a-School program.
Mullane is now one of 30 finalists for the AHL's 2013-14 Yanick Dupre Memorial Award, honoring the overall IOA/American Specialty AHL Man of the Year. The league award is named after the former Hershey Bears forward and AHL All-Star who died in 1997 following a 16-month battle with leukemia. The winner of the Yanick Dupre Memorial Award will be announced by the American Hockey League later this month.
Next Home Game: Friday, Apr. 11 vs. Milwaukee Admiral. Puck drop is slated for 7 p.m. The IceHogs return home after three games on the road, finishing their season series against the Admirals on Friday night.

I had a fun email exchange with an investor I've worked with for almost 20 years in response to something a CEO send out from a board we are both on. I said "fucking awesome." He said "that's an understatement." I said "CEO is such a delight." He said "CEO is negative maintenance."
I loved this. So I'm going to use this post to think through the idea out loud and I'd love your feedback since it's still a messy / blurry concept in my mind.
My hypothesis is that the opposite of high maintenance is not zero maintenance but rather it's negative maintenance.
There are days that I'm high maintenance. Everyone is. But if you subscribe to my "give before you get", or #givefirst, philosophy, you are constantly contributing more than you are consuming. I've talked about this often in the context of Startup Communities, but I haven't really had the right words for this in the context of leadership, management, and employees in a fast growing company.
Suddenly I do. When I think about my role as an investor and board member, I'm often tangled up in complicated situations. I've often said that every day something new in my world gets fucked up somewhere. This used to be distressing to me, but after 20 years of it, if I don't know what the new fucked up thing is by 4pm, I start to get curious about what it's going to be.
We all know that creating companies from nothing is extremely difficult. The problems that arise come from all angles. Some are exogenous and some are directly under your control. Some are random and some are obvious. Some are compounded by other problems and mistakes, resulting in what my father taught me at a young age was the worst kind of mistake – one that was a mistake compounded on a mistake compounded on a mistake – which he called "a complicated mistake."
Personally, when I find myself in a complicated mistake, I stop. I step back and pause and reflect. And then I try to figure out how I can change the dynamic into something positive, not continuing to build on my complicated mistake, but instead getting clarity on what the right thing is to do to get out of the ditch.
Negative maintenance people do this. I've seen, been involved in, and made some epic mistakes. The CEO I'm referring to above has a great company, but has also experienced some epic mistakes. How he handles them, works through them with his team, and his board, is exemplary. There is work involved by me and the other board members, but it's not inappropriately emotional. It's not high maintenance. It's just work. Decisions have to be made and executed. And there are impacts from these decisions, which lead to more decisions. Ultimately this CEO is putting energy into the system as we work through the issue, which is where the negative maintenance (as opposed to high maintenance) behavior pattern arises.
I like this idea of negative maintenance people. I'm obviously trying to think it through out loud with this post, so weigh in and help me understand it better.
Recently I had a full day of meetings with chaotic juxtapositions of people.
In one meeting, the person I interacted with was awesome. He owned everything that was going on in his company – good and bad. He was clear minded. He knew what was working, what wasn't working, and what he needed to change. And he took responsibility for it.
Immediately after, I had a non-scheduled conference call to try to get something wrapped up. It was a total waste of 15 minutes of time where the person on the other end simply refused to take responsibility for something that should have been easy for them to take responsibility for. After 15 minutes of back and forth, it was clear that the other person had no interest in taking responsibility for something I thought he should. And he couldn't make the case for why, other than "because I don't want to."
I eventually gave up.
I then switched to a call with a CEO who was exploring something new. She asked a series of clear and direct questions, knowing that it was her responsibility to make a decision about what to do. It was easy to be on the receiving end of a series of challenging questions as she tried to get as much data as she could out of me as she formulated her point of view. Whatever decision she makes will be fine with me – it'll be a thoughtful one that she owns.
After a long day, I came home to an inbox with 200 emails in it. I spend two hours grinding through them. As I was reading, responding, and archiving, I started noticing that many of the strong CEOs I work with owned whatever was going on at their company. There was simplicity in this – no blame, no excuses, no justification. They just took ownership.
While there were lots of other emails where the person owned whatever was going on, there were many situations where this wasn't the case. This was especially true with a few entrepreneurs struggling to raise money, or asking questions about situations they had gotten themselves into, such as a poor allocation of equity to co-founders, where a co-founder had left, but there hadn't been any vesting. While more obvious in situations where things weren't working, this was also true in situations where there was ambiguity around what was going on.
When I step back and ponder this, the CEOs I respect the most are the ones who take responsibility for the actions of their company. Good or bad, successful or not, they don't shirk any responsibility, blame anyone, or try to make excuses. They just own things, and if they need to be fixed, they fix them.
What kind of CEO are you?
I spent the last few days at CEO Bootcamp – Leadership Reboot. It's run by my close friend Jerry Colonna with an awesome team of four. The next one is going to be in Tuscany, Italy from 6/4/14 – 6/8/14 and I expect it will be amazing. I encourage you to explore it and apply – the deadline for applications is 4/20/14. I arrived at Devil's Thumb Ranch on Wednesday afternoon.
The first evening was a wonderful dinner and introduction to each other (about 20 of us) along with an evening session with a taste of what was to come. I attended as a special guest (I'm the only non-CEO / entrepreneur here) but participated as a peer.
Thursday was extremely intense with the focus on what a CEO does and the five challenges of a CEO. Everyone opened up, the discussion was incredible, and emotions were high, and yes, there were tears, as one of Jerry's superpower's is getting the tears to flow.
If you need a taste of Jerry and haven't seen him in action before, the following TWIST Interview on The 6 Biggest Mistakes Founders Make is dynamite. By Thursday evening, we were deep into it. Some people were tired (I ended up taking a nap for 90 minutes during the late afternoon break), others were confused, and some were inspired. A word that was repeated regularly was grateful. Grateful to be with peers. Grateful to realize one wasn't alone. Grateful to be able to be human in the midst of a group of other entrepreneur/CEOs.
A magical thing happened after Thursday dinner. The gang from Playback Theatre West came and spent two hours with us. I'd experienced Playback Theatre West last year at Boulder Startup Week. I was one of the stories they performed – I shared my story of moving to Boulder with Amy and they re-enacted it – interpreting things in real time – magnificently. Since I knew what we were in for, I knew that once things started happening the collision of improv and entrepreneurship would be a wonderful capstone to the day.
After a warm up, Rebecca asked for volunteers. Sam, who had been with us all day (as he's one of the CEO Bootcamp founders as well as a member of Playback Theatre West), was one of the actors.There was a lull – everyone was unsure what to do next. So I stood up and went first.
When I stood up, I had no idea what story I was going to tell, so there was some meta-improv going on. By the time I sat down next to Rebecca to start telling my story, I decided I'd tell the story of my 50 mile race. The emotional fallout from the race, which I only mildly understood two weeks after I finished it, has had a profound impact on how I'm currently living my life given the deep depression that set in for me about seven months after the race and then lasted six months.
I told the story of the race. Rebecca and the gang asked questions along the way, pulling out pieces of my motivation for the race, along with the implications of the race. Some of the questions were simple, like "Why", but set me off on a tangent that had nothing to do with the race. Then I sat back and watched them perform for five minutes. I laughed. And then I laughed some more. And then I had tears in my eyes. And then a wave of emotion flowed over me as I made a connection to something I hadn't realized before. And then I settled down and smiled as they tied together some threads around my own motivations that had eluded me.
They did several more performances for different CEOs in the room including one about a hiring story that was happening and was unresolved and one about starting a company. Each was a hilarious and absolutely beautiful interpretation of the story told. After a super heavy and intense day, it was a perfect way to wrap things up. To realize we are all humans, by acting out the reinterpretation of our human stories.
I've become a huge fan of Playback Theatre West. I hope to do a lot more with them in the future.
I saw a great job title this morning when I was looking someone up on LinkedIn. It was "CTO Whisperer."
As I'm getting deeper into meditation. I hear the word "teacher" a lot. I'd never thought much about it before, but it's used in a similar way to how we use the word "mentor" at Techstars. When we started to use the word mentor in 2007, it required defining. Now mentor is getting overused by the broad entrepreneurial landscape. I have no idea whether teacher is overused as well, but the parallel got me thinking about the idea of a CEO Whisperer.
I've always been fascinated by the idea of The Horse Whisperer or a Dog Whisperer. A person who has a special, magic skill that certain animals respond to. A unique ability to calm and teach. A style about them that is unique, loving, and kind, even in difficult circumstances.
As I was mulling this over, my friend Jerry Colonna popped into my mind. While Jerry is referred to as a CEO coach, he most certainly is a CEO Whisperer. And for those who don't know Jerry's past, he was an extremely successful venture capitalist, founding Flatiron Partners with Fred Wilson in the mid-1990s before retiring from venture capital in the early 2000′s.
I count Jerry as a very close friend. As a mentor. As a teacher. And, with all great mentor / teacher relationships, we learn from each other. Which led me back to the idea of a CEO Whisperer.
In the 1990′s, Jerry and I worked together on several investments and were on a few boards together. Our styles were very complementary – we both had a soft touch and were supportive of the CEO, but had different things we could help with. I know that my involvement on these boards deeply shaped my role and approach as a board member and investor, as I thought Jerry was the best board member I'd ever worked with at that point in time.
I've met – and worked with – a few other people who I'd consider CEO Whisperers, but none compare to Jerry. And when I think about how I want to be viewed by the CEOs I work with, the idea of mentor and teacher immediately comes to the forefront of my mind.
The world of entrepreneurship needs more CEO Whisperers. Thanks Jerry for leading the way. On multiple fronts.
I'm on the receiving end of phone calls and video conferences with CEOs all day long. And, at least once a day, I can feel the intense stress on the person I'm talking to oozing through the phone or the screen. The conversation is often calm and rational, but below the surface is a bubbling cauldron of pressure.
Welcome to life as a CEO of a fast growing startup. Every day something new and unexpected comes at you. Often multiple things. Some are awesome. Some are ok. Some are bad. And some are awful.
Ben Horowitz wrote what I think is the best post ever on this called The Struggle. After I read it, I asked him if I could include it in my book Startup Life: Surviving and Thriving in a Relationship with an Entrepreneur. He graciously said yes, so I did.
I felt The Struggle regularly when I was running Feld Technologies in the 1980s. I put myself at a disadvantage – when something went wrong people often called for "Mr. Feld." My partner Dave carried a lot of the burden as well so I wasn't alone, but I was on the receiving end of a lot of unhappiness over the years.
While I got better at compartmentalizing it, I never mastered it. I still struggle with it today. I can absorb an enormous amount of stress from the CEOs I work with. But sometimes I get overloaded and end up far out on a deep tree limb trembling with anxiety. I like to refer to this as "inappropriate anxiety" because I know exactly what is at the root cause, but my obsessive mind has a difficult time letting it go.
So I do what I can. I talk to Amy. I walk Brooks the Wonder Dog. I take a bath. I try to sleep a little more. I run more. I let the obsessive thoughts roll around in my head, chasing each other like characters from SpongeBob SquarePants.
And sometimes I just go in a closet and scream for a little while. I let all the bad energy out. I put my all into it – expelling the stress. Trying to reset my mind. Knowing that the inappropriate anxiety will go away and I'll feel ok again.
When I hear this in the voice of a CEO I'm working with, I offer up myself as a release valve. While I don't invite it, I want them to know they can vent to me. That they can bare their soul safely to me. That I won't judge them on the pressure they are under. That I won't try to solve the problem for them.
But that I'll be there.
And I let them scream if they want to.

Once I wore the next size up the shoe was very comfortable.
very comfortable to walk around in.
all of the above
[...], however these shoes did live up to my expectations. Footwear, Etc. did offer the best price and had the shoes in stock for immediate shipment. Overall, I find the shoes very comfortable and I am happy with my purchase.
I was looking for a black casual shoe with excellent cusioning and quality and this definetely fit the bill. Its definetely a quality shoe, but I think the [$] price tag is a little steep for a walking/casual shoe. It better last for a long time!
Very nice looking & durable shoe for everyday casual work environment. I give it four stars instead of five only because for my foot the Ecco Cross is simply perfect, and this shoe is a bit stiffer both in the sole & upper. These seem more durable, though, and they have a very similar fit in the footbed--which for me is better than anything else I've tried. These two models of Ecco shoe top anything else I've tried.
I wore this shoe every day for 7 years before they wore out. Worn in rain, snow, and salty slush. Comfortable from first day until last.

Can anyone spell out the difference between a bock and a dark mild?
I'm looking a making the juniper rye bock from Radical Brewing, but not sure I want to deal with the time and hassle of lagering the beer. I could just use German Ale Yeast and ferment in the low 60s, but I was wondering if a Mild was similar enough to a bock that I could switch the malt bill and hops and come out with a moderately similar flavor - or at least a beer that would showcase the rye and juniper in the same way as the bock from Radical Brewing.
Any thoughts?
No, a bock and a mild are not very similar, except maybe in color. Bocks are much stronger than Milds and way more malty in flavor. Milds are low alcohol English brown ales with a very subtle flavor.
If you are using a German ale yeast instead of a lager strain, but keeping the grain bill the same, it's probably more of an Altbier than a Mild. Either way, you are brewing a Bock beer with juniper and rye, so you can call it whatever you want.
Here's a link to the BJCP style guidelines that should better explain the style differences: http://www.bjcp.org/2008styles/catdex.php
Bocks - Category 5 | Milds - Category 11 | Altbiers - Category 7
If you decide to go with a mild, I have three suggestions for you.
1. Keep the roast level low--maybe a pale mild rather than a dark? Or at least a lower lovibond chocolate malt & avoid black patent and similar grains. There's a chocolate rye malt out there , now that I think of it.
2. With the really low ABV,you'll probably want to keep the juniper additions modest as well. I intensify the maltiness of my milds by pulling off a gallon, boiling it down to 1/2 gal, and adding it background the main boil. Even with that, however, I think you'll want to keep the juniper kinda low.
3. Consider using wlp023 Burton Ale yeast. I tend to go with 007, but I think the faint sulfur notes & low fruitiness of 023 will play better with the juniper & rye.
Let us know what you go with & how it turns out, please!
Thanks for the feedback! Based on that, I think I'll stick with the bock style and just go ahead and lager the thing with a lager yeast - got to try it sometime right?
