Cover Story: What Do Your Residential Customers Really Want?
Knowing the trends and savvy marketing will enable smaller dealers to compete with the big boys
EPS prides itself on having customers or potential customers talk to a real, live person within 30 seconds. It is that kind of response that makes the homeowner feel secure and in touch with their local business operator. Even more important, Hood says, his company lets every customer know that they background check and drug test installers and assure they are not felons. "We do not subcontract our labor," Hood adds, noting that many people are uncomfortable with trusting a "cable guy" with their life safety system. "I would never slam the competition — just put the question out there for a customer to consider," he says.
Other Threats to Your Success
It is not all gravy — for one thing, there is a growing do-it-yourself (DIY) market for thermostats and other security and home automation equipment. For another, service and maintenance can be expensive. "I know we can get more RMR," Knox says. "The scary part is figuring out the right amount."
Knox fears that, even today, dealers are not charging enough. "I've been doing this for 10 years and I never felt we were charging enough," he says. "I know it is too low right now."
Operating expenses can eat an integrator's profits and then some. Where it takes one service tech to support a traditional customer, it can take five for the high-tech customer. Rather than a visit every year or two to replace a battery or add a door alarm, high-tech customers are apt to call every time there is a quirk with camera access or a router's lights flash. It is not just phone calls but truck rolls that can eat up revenue.
Customers can revolt, too. While most people will appreciate remote video — who hasn't been in a boring meeting and hopped on their smartphone just to see what the dog is doing downstairs — other features might not be the long-term winners they appear. Energy management is effective; but how often does one really need to change the thermostat from 500 miles away?
Whatever happens, Knox emphasizes that dealers and integrators have to keep in mind that their business is protecting the things most precious to their customers — their lives and their property. "Answer your phone. Be there for the client. Don't become a gadget seller," Knox encourages. While he admits they will have a tougher row to hoe, he says he doubts that firms that do not offer high-tech are dead as dinosaurs. "Remember to take care of the important things first and you can survive," Knox concludes. "It will be tough to continue as a traditional service provider and you are in danger of losing customers — but you can survive."

But I LOVE your recipes-- they are so easy and freeze so well, which makes cooking for one worth it! Thanks for helping me learn how to cook!

My feet sweat. And it is a problem! It gets worse when I have shoes on. My feet slide around on my flip flops and high heels. Tiny puddles form under my feet. It's gross.
I still wear cute shoes all the time, but it hurts my feet when they get sweaty and slip around in 5-inch heels.
I'm a dancer and sometimes my feet get so sweaty right before a performance I fear slipping on stage. Luckily this hasn't happened before. I do wish I wouldn't have to worry about this anymore though.
I've tried putting powder in my shoes and I even put prescription deodorant on my feet a few nights before bed, but nothing seems to really work.
Can you Lovelies please help me out? Any advice on how to stop my feet from sweating?

An Amagansett development scheme that was met with vehement and nearly unanimous opposition appears headed toward a more than satisfactory solution. A hearing is to be held in Town Hall this evening about whether to use just over $10 million from the community preservation fund to buy the so-called 555 property on Montauk Highway, where a luxury village of some 79 apartments and houses had been planned for those 55 and older.
One of the sacrosanct principles of East Hampton Town zoning is that no one gets more than one house per property. That is unless one happens to have a large parcel of land and an even larger bank account.

Hello - I just wanted to updated my personal stats, that is weigh in after one month of using MFP as well as measurements.
Whilst I can see my previous weight, it seems that the tool does not keep track of my initial measurements. Did I do something wrong?
Many thanks

WINK News Now This Morning is kicking off a new segment to save you money.
It's called "Common Cents".
We'll have a tip a day at 6 am in May to save you cash.
Our first tip is from thesimpledollar.com.
It's called the ten second rule.
Not the one about dropping food on the floor.
Instead whenever you pick up an item at the store stop for ten seconds and ask yourself why you're buying it and whether you actually need it or not.
If you can't find a good answer, but the item back.
If you do need it, put it in your cart.
This simple rule can help you avoid those impulse buys, especially at the checkout counter.

Paul Krugman's right: Austerity kills. "In an economy where we're all in the same boat, one person's spending is another person's income. So when the government cuts spending, it reduces people's income, leading to less business, more unemployment, and a vicious spiral of slowing down the economy." (salon.com)

@font-face Smoothing in Windows Chrome
You may have noticed the issue in which @font-face embeds rendered in Windows Chrome look mighty jagged. Fixes such as -webkit-font-smoothing barely do anything, so this hack relies on a fairly well known fact about Windows Chrome: putting text-shadow on anything makes it blurry as shit. Original implementations of the hack relied on a solid text-shadow colour, but this no longer works in recent updates. It is now vital to enter an rgba() value instead.
Hopefully you will end up with something like this:
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5 {
font-family: 'TodaySHOP-BoldRegular';
text-shadow: 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.01);
Real World Examples:
A real world example of this is best demonstrated on my own Front End Development Guidelines. My header tags were smoothed out with a solid hex colour, prior to the rgba() update. They're still broken to date. Oops.
But the problem is much more widespread. Consider this ironic blog post on IE font smoothing by @Koodoz, in which the Chrome problem rears its ugly head again. It leads to some interesting accidental changes, where "hate" has become "hale".
Be aware that this can modify the kerning of the text. There are also situations where the font is hinted in a way that this hack is detrimental. The over-used League Gothic, for example, does not bode well with this method at smaller font-sizes. There were also some comments that this makes Chrome on Mac even blurrier than usual.
I've been trying to track down who taught me this little trick for a while now. I originally assumed it was @Koodoz, as he invests heavily in @font-face in his designs - but it was news to him. I thought it might be @Rainerbird, as we both read the same kind of stuff online. No dice there either. This blog post also describes the method, but I have probably been using the method just as long and don't recall visiting that site. The comments and feedback on that blog post are great for further explaining the method and its shortfalls. ■

Dakota Durant singled through the right side to give Aledo a 2-1 win in the eighth inning over Birdville on Friday in the Class 4A Region I quarterfinals at Saginaw Chisholm Trail High School.The Bearcats (28-6-2), who beat the Hawks 8-3 on Thursday, swept the series and will play the winner of Wolfforth Frenship and Lubbock in the region semifinals next week. Aledo starter Taco Anderson dueled fellow right-hander Ty Engelhardt for the first seven innings Friday. Anderson would clinch the complete-game win, striking out five in eight innings and giving up five hits. Engelhardt struck out seven Aledo batters before giving way to Patrick King, who started the eighth. That's when trouble arose for the Hawks.Zane Scott led off the inning with a single off the glove of shortstop Robert Salazar up the middle. Leadoff hitter Tyson Mauser then followed with a bunt, and reached base on an error.King then intentionally walked Wade Raburn and got Zayne Willems to ground into a fielder's choice. But Durant, the Bearcats' cleanup hitter, needed two pitches to send a line drive into right field to score Mauser for the walkoff win. Aledo was down to its last strike Thursday against Birdville, trailing 2-0 when Raburn scored two runners on a Hawks error.Aledo coach Chad Berry said that momentum spilled into Friday. "For all intents and purposes, it seemed like Birdville was in control for most of the game [Thursday night]. They had a miscue and we were able to capitalize on it," Berry said. "I think that carried us through to today."

New Korean Ramen place
- d
- downtowngrll Sep 7, 2006 11:19 PM
Anyone been to the new Korean style ramen place in Koreatown? I think it's called TEUM SAE RAMEN?? If you have could you also let me know the exact location?
It's a Korean ramen chain. It's not bad but you don't get a lot. The spicy ramen if very hot.
Teumsae Ramen
4003 Wilshire Blvd, Wilton
Los Angeles 90010
see link:
wao! it's nong shim shin ramyun come to life!! i am headed out the door to try this as we speak. well, almost ^^.
From the (hysterical) website:
"Red pepper powder and seafood's burning hot taste. While two people eat it, nobody knows even if the other dies."
Can anyone offer a re-translation of this cryptic claim?
And, for those of us unfamiliar with this variation on noodle soup, is this basically like Japanese ramen with a bunch of red pepper and some dduk thrown in, or are there other distinctions? What's inside those cute heart-shaped "Love Jumockbap"?
re: PayOrPlay
"...While two people eat it, nobody knows even if the other dies."
that's a poorly put (overly direct) translation of an old korean saying. it basically means that you won't even notice if your dining companion dies in the middle of the meal because the food will have completely caught your attention since it's so good. something like that.
re: smssms
I would interpret it this way: it's so hot, you're both gonna bite it. That's why you can't tell if the other person dies ... because you'll be dead too.
re: smssms
Perfect translation, smssms!!!
it basically means that the food is damn good...
like a dutiful rameniac, i went there last night. it's good stuff (and open way late). the waiter, who hardly speaks a word of english, asked me how spicy i wanted it. i said 'medium'. when the bill came later it said "devil's ramen" on it. pretty scorchy - basically like korean instant ramen come to life, but a bit spicier even. next time i'll probably just ask for 'a little bit spicy' and i'm guessing that should be just right. noodles have that squiggly korean thing going on, but have a nice spring and chew to them unlike the instant version. mine also came with a perfectly poached egg and rice cakes inside the broth. go try it by all means.
Apparently this place has changed hands...? It's now known as Miljip Noodle House. Still no English menu, but they do have man doo and various types of noodles and soup (beef, chicken, kimchee.) They were unfamiliar with the ppalgyedduk (and its "burning hot taste") that looked so good on the Teum Sae web site. (Maybe my pronunciation was faulty. Maybe it's a trademark like Big Mac?) Anyway, I got a huge bowl of steaming, scalliony chicken and fresh-tasting noodles, two kinds of good kimchee and a great soy/garlic/pepper condiment that went nicely with the soup. $9 including tax and tip! I sadly missed the wackiness that Teum Sae promised, but I will be back to Miljip for lunch.

Unbalanced Britain: This Sorry StateOct 20th, 2014 | By Barry Winter | Category: Articles, Frontpage, Lead
BARRY WINTER assesses the work of David Marquand and considers what it can offer a left desperately seeking some answer to society's massive imbalance in power and wealth.
Let's begin with a quote: "In the name of individual freedom, economic liberalism ended up centralising power and control in the state and large corporations." It summarises many of the arguments in David Marquand's book, Mammon's Kingdom, on what is wrong with Britain today. But the words are not his. They come from the e-book, One Nation: Labour's Political Renewal, written by Jon Cruddas MP and Jonathan Rutherford.

No Indian has ever won gold medal in individual eventi in olympic.Answered by Varinder Talwar, 13 Aug '07 01:48 pm
From the 1948 Olympics through to the Sydney Games, India has had only five finalists in individual athletics events. Right from Henry Rebello in 1948, to Milkha Singh 1960, Gurbachan Singh Randhawa in 1964, Sriram Singh in 1976 and P.T Usha in 1984. Even the 1974 Asian Games saw a very good performance by Indian athletes and won 15 Medals including 4 Gold. These were the only Gold`s won by the Indian Contingent in the Asian Games at Tehran (1974) T.C. Yohanan became the first Indian to Jump over 8.00 meter barrier in this Asian Games. Apart from all these athletes, there are many others, who have etched their names in Indian history for their contribution in these sports. Many recent athletes have also been the centre of attraction for their immense contribution and their achievements at the international levels.Answered by LALITKUMAR RANA, 13 Aug '07 12:50 pm

For our birthdays, my very generous parents surprised my three sisters and me with a "bonding" vacation and carte blanche to travel anywhere to do so. We are living across the country from D.C. to San Francisco, range in age from 27 to 21 and with varied interests and athletic abilities. We're looking for a place that will provide some quality down time, but also some activities to accommodate both a medical student and an adventurous trail runner. We're hoping to travel during the Christmas holiday. Does such a place even exist?
Rachel Meyer, New York City
Indeed it does. The key is narrowing your options.
Given your desire for outdoor activities, winter weather will rule out Europe and most of North America. Instead, look eastward. Though it is Hawaii's high (and sometimes rainy) season, Oahu could be an ideal destination for both relaxation and active fun. In her recent "36 Hours" column (July 7, 2011), Jocelyn Fujii said Honolulu, on Oahu's south shore, "has never been hotter," with plenty of music-filled oceanfront lounges and new restaurants, like Masaharu Morimoto's Morimoto Waikiki (morimotowaikiki.com). About 10 to 20 minutes south of the city, you can hike or jog in Kapiolani Park (honolulu.gov/parks), at the foot of Diamond Head, a volcanic tuff cone, or surf Waikiki Beach (waikikibeachservices.com).

Nobody Lyrics - Shakin' Stevens
Who taught the birds to sing in the trees? Nobody
Who taught the flowers to dance in the breeze? Nobody
Just like a sea washing on the sand
I just naturally take your hand, I wanna be your loving man
Who can love you like this man can? Nobody
Who got the bees to gather in honey child? Nobody
Who taught the sunny day to be sunny now? Nobody
Just like the stars glowin' in the sky
You got the natural look of love in your eye
You can't deny there ain't no lie
Who can love you as good as I? Nobody
Who got the girls to walk like they walk yeah? Nobody
Who got the girls to talk like they jive yeah? Nobody
A natural woman just turns me on, just like the sun comes up at dawn
I want to see you keep on keepin' on
I don"t know why you"re gonna be like nobody

More on Being Gay and Mormon: Some Simple Ways People Have Been Supportive
I'm not going to sugarcoat it: being a gay Mormon often feels like being in an impossible situation. But I also have to say that there are ways in which I consider myself quite fortunate. My family has been fabulous, and I have a lot of truly amazing LDS friends. So as a follow-up to my previous post, which as one commenter pointed out was mostly "don't"s, I'd like to mention some of the things people have said and done that have been particularly positive.
1) Simple, genuine expressions of love. When I came out last November, I was blown away by how many people responded simply by telling me that they loved me. It meant a lot to me that for so many, that was the first response. I wish every gay person could have a similar experience.
2) An emphasis that I'm a part of the church, that I'm wanted and needed. Some of the comments that have most touched me have been ones along the lines of, "it matters to me that there's room for you in the church."
3) Being matter-of-fact about the whole thing. I told my bishop's wife I would tell the story of how I told her. We were sitting in Peet's Coffee (probably while skipping Sunday school), and we had a conversation along these lines. Me: "I'm gay." Her: "Okay. What would you like to drink?" That sort of simple acceptance is something I also appreciate.
4) Speaking up. It means a lot to me when other people mention in Relief Society that the church's position on this is something they've struggled with, or when I hear someone questioning casual generalizations about gay people.
5) Willingness to learn. I've had people admit to me that they weren't sure how to react, or express the concern that they weren't sure what to do or what to say. I've appreciated the honesty, and the openness to conversation.
6) Letting me know I'm not alone. One of the things that helps me the most is that I don't feel I'm in this on my own. When I hear crazy things, I know that I have a whole network of people who don't think that way. I really need that.
7) Willingness to let me find my own path. This is huge for me. I'm figuring this out as I go, and I so much appreciate the people in my life who aren't pushing me to go in any particular direction, and whom I trust to be there regardless.

6 Responses to "More on Being Gay and Mormon: Some Simple Ways People Have Been Supportive"
Excellent. Thank you. (I appreciated both posts.)
I'm so glad to hear of so many positive responses you've gotten, Lynnette. Your bishop's wife's response is my favorite!
Even though I have some reservations about 4 and 7, I really like the other suggestions.
Thanks, all! Ziff, I thought that was pretty classic. For some other great responses, one of my sisters said, "well, I love [Ziff''s wife], and I've always wanted another sister-in-law." Another sister said, "to tell you the truth, I have no idea how to process this." (I said, "it's totally fine, I have no idea how to process it, either.") I loved that for its simple honesty.
Jeff, this may not help with your reservation, but I actually did want to clarify something about 4. I don't mean that you have to speak up along the lines of, the church's teachings are challenging, if you don't think that (I was simply pulling examples from my own life). But you could nonetheless speak up if you heard it asserted that gays were anti-Christian baby-killers (for example).
And since I'm chattering away, a couple more thoughts on 7 as well. I feel pretty strongly that this is between me and God. I take that quite seriously, that I need to work out whatever decisions I make with God. (Which, I submit, is a very Mormon thing to do.) But it means so much to me that there are people in my life who aren't basing their acceptance of me on my following a certain path. From both directions–I was stressed that some of my non-Mormon friends would pressure me to leave the church, and I so much appreciated it when they didn't. And on the other side, the support I've gotten that has in some ways touched me the most has come from my more conservative friends, whom I know strongly agree with the church's position, but who also respect that it isn't their job to make these decisions for me.
That's absolutely fantastic to hear. Truly. While I do have some reservations about the normalization of LGBT in society and their proclivity to label anybody with such reservations as hateful or fearful, I sometimes need to remember that a lot of people really are hateful and fearful of LGBT's! While I can never pretend to share in the acute anxiety which you surely feel at church or amongst your friends and family, I most certainly can take just as strong a stand as you against any person who would demonize you in the ways you mention.
Wait, what? You're GAY? OMG!
(I kid, I kid. Love you, Lynnette.)

<SEA> Steelhead Diner
Checking out the new place Vivanda used to occupy, tomorrow. I'm interested in hearing about any experiences.
loved the beef short rib with grits (sort of like a faux bone marrow) and gremolata, although a bit pricey for what you get. will definitely be back.
Have been twice for lunch. Really liked the fried chicken spring roll--good textures; yummy, crisp, hot fried chicken. Salad with dried chukkar cherries was amazing the first time, overdressed the second time. Fried chicken sandwich was fine, but not impressive. BBQ pork sandwich was too vinegary for my taste. Liked the chocolate cake a lot, but it turned out to be too much for lunch. Was glad to be able to get fresh-squeezed lemonade. Space is nice, and service was fairly good.
re: not the bad Steve
they must've changed the recipe for the pork sandwich, cuz the one i had knocked my socks off (no vinegar that I could tell), has my vote for best sandwich in Seattle (topping even Matt's catfish sandwich). A wet dream on a bun. Was going to order a bowl of their yummy gumbo too but was too full.
re: barleywino
Good to hear!
re: barleywino
I had the pork sandwich today based on your stirring recommendation. And yes, I too love Matt's catfish sandwich. The pork sandwich was incredibly tasty. No vinegar, but nice roast garlic jus that gave it a wonderful flavor. Now if they could only do something about those fries.
re: barleywino
Perfect! When do you want to open our new place? :-)
Had dinner there last night. It's total comfort food. I think the prices and portions are in line with other restaurants in the area. Had a good buttermilk fried chicken sandwich and fried with Beechers cheese curd and a side of country sausage gravy. Also shared some pasta with a porcini sauce, but it really just tasted like mac and cheese. Damn good mac and cheese I might add. Good service, piping hot food, and a little kooky...so I'll probably be back for another sandwich sometime soon.
re: TruDiner
did you get that kooky waitress too? friendly staff including the chef.
re: blackjsus
http://www.steelheaddiner.com/menus/d... PS.actually i only thought the lunch short rib was a bit small, the dinner shortrib was more than generous. Be sure to try the "slice of caviar pie", a savory riff on lemon meringue pie (with chopped egg instead of lemon, and topped with various caviars)
Finally ended up here for dinner despite my Brooklyn-native wife's semiotic bias against a place with $20+ mains calling itself a diner. We stuck to shallow end of the menu - I got the pork sandwich, she the chicken. We shared a salad and the hominy cakes. The salad and mains were quite good (except for the worthless fries - they were "authentic" diner fries, like what you'd see at Denny's. In this case, authenticity is not a good thing.)
The real standout, though, was the side of hominy cakes. Terrific! I think we'll be back to try some other dishes just on the strength of that one item.
My only real complaint (besides the Maximilien-esque brunch prices and the blah fries) is the menu is not very well curated. Good combinations of starters, mains and sides are not immediately obvious. The menu offers no clue as to portion size beyond the handful of entrees apparently available in full- and half-price plates. Many of the entrees mention vegetables included (but in what quantity?), while the presence of sides on the menu suggests a strictly a la carte approach to ordering. If a la carte is the mode, it should be clear. Personally, while I'm glad I could order the hominy cakes at will, I prefer the 2-tier Palace Kitchen model of starters and small plates on one side and entrees that come with veg and starch selected for them on the other.
With the benefit of hindsight, I can't imagine a normal-sized human eating a side and full-sized entree in one sitting. We both walked out with half our mains in takeaway boxes because the side order of (scrumptions) hominy cakes was so large. Next time, we might go for a side and a half-entree to see if that works better. I don't know that every diner will have that patience, though - IMO, the upscale diner/comfort food concept would work better with a menu that didn't inspire so much confusion.
re: terrier
I love the hominy cakes. They alone would get me back there.
Those fries! Aren't they awful?! We were told that they chose to use Simplot (or the like) because they wanted consistency and couldn't control the starch content otherwise. Tell that to Sambar or any of the other places around town doing fantastic fries. They really need to fix that pronto.
Lauren, It's the sugar in the potatoes that determines if they will make good fries. I know of several top restaurants that test their potatoes with Diabetes testing kits to insure uniformity and quality. Using Simplot's dreck is a cop-out.
at the risk of starting a food fight, i hereby declare that steelhead diner has THE BEST CRABCAKE ON THE PLANET complimented by a luscious sauce and witty beet straw garnish. the superb collard greens demand bread to sop up the 'pot likker' and the heirloom potatoes manage the difficult job of getting garlic crispy without burning. the gumbo is wonderful (the chef worked at arnaud's) but, for my taste, it has insufficient liquid and is more stew than soup. our waiter was a bit confused but service has long been the bane of american restaurants. will certainly be back and with friends....
I had lunch today with a friend. Very attentive and well versed server. Lovely space, and a great view.
We shared the "Caviar Pie' and found it really tasty and well conceived. The Gumbo was good, but missing some depth of flavor. The Pork Sandwich was fine, but a little bland. Really needed the side of cherry peppers.Fries were as bad as previously discussed.
I'll go back but will try other items.
We're going out to Steelhead tonight. I am really looking forward to it. I might just report back.
they have fried smelts today! not sure how long the supply will last though. apparently availability is spotty.
Chef gave me a sample of the fried smelts today, and boy were they great. Light and crispy. I tried the roast pork sandwich and loved it. And I happen to really like the fries, I am sick of all those "hand-cut" fries that are not cooked all the way through. I think Chef makes pretty much everything else -- has the bread made to his specifications, and those sandwich rolls are sooooooo good.
Okay guys, how's the wine list? Apparently, they've picked up a Washington Wine Commission (WWC) 2007 "Washington Wine Grand Award". Since the restaurant has just recently opened, does this speak more to the merits of their wine list OR the questionable criteria of the WWC's selection process? Nothing against Steelhead, I just question an "award" coming this quickly?
re: fooddawg
I like the restaurant fine but the wine list is nothing special. It's fairly short and just has NW wines on it which umm aren't too hard to find at any local store. Sounds like PR hype.
It is an all Washington and Oregon wine list. This month, March, is Washington Wine Month, and I suspect that handing out this award to the recently opened Steelhead Diner is good PR and advertising. That said, it takes nothing away from a great local selection.
Went last night after hearing about it on here. I live just down the street and was looking for another good place to regular, but this isn't it. My crab roll had a lot of crab on it but was pretty mediocre for $16. Wife had the orzo with shrimp. The shrimp were very nicely seasoned but the orzo was a bad combination of too much cumin and too watery. Would not get that again. Friends had the beet tartare and the burger. Burger was cooked perfectly and they said it was very good. I have to say i am partial to regular rolls though for burgers and not the cut bagette idea.
In the end, i thought it was a bit overpriced and mediocre, but better than most things in the market. Certainly a lot better than Pike Place Brewery. I would go back for lunch or a beer and a sandiwch, but I don't think I'd order any of the mains.
re: Walters
For chicken fried steak, try Geraldine's Counter. It's much better than Steelhead's. The one I had at Steelhead had a soggy crust. Geraldine's is much closer to what I had in Austin.
re: Lauren
Geraldine's menu shows the chicken fried steak only for breakfast. Can you special order it for dinner, or is it a special?
re: jaydeflix
Hmmm, I'm not sure. I've only been there for breakfast.
re: Lauren
Darn. I've never been a big fan of eggs and prefer my chicken fried steak with mashed taters and something else =)
I know Bad Albert's in Ballard had a monday night chicken fried steak special for a while. Not sure if they still do.
re: Lauren
if you ordered dungeness crabcakes or steamed mussels in austin, would you be unhappy at receiving less-than-seattle quality or satisfied just to be served something vaugely edible? while i think the chicken-fried steak at steelhead (and at geraldine's) is quite good, comparing it to one from texas is like looking for good bbq here - or pastrami - or caldo gallego - or hoagies - ain't gonna happen so take joy in the incredible goodness that presents itself in our little culinary heaven - make mine a black cod kasusake on a bed of steamed fiddleheads....

Fantasy Draft Decision -- Brett Lawrie or Will Middlebrooks?
Which sleeper third baseman will step up?
Published: Feb 14, 2013
» Get updates via Sportsmail
Fantasy baseball owners will be tempted with several up-and-coming third basemen in 2013.
Toronto's Brett Lawrie and Boston's Will Middlebrooks are at the forefront of that group. Lawrie and Middlebrooks are ranked No. 9 and No. 11, respectively, in our 3B rankings.
It's a case where owners need to choose between the draft-day darling from last year (Lawrie) and this year (Middlebrooks). Let's make a case for each player:
THE CASE FOR LAWRIE: Yeah, we drafted Lawrie too early last season. He didn't exactly live up to the overhyped 30/30 billing. Lawrie's season ended with a fractured middle finger in September, a fitting end for his owners. But it's not like Lawrie, 23, is downright awful. Take his totals from 168 games in his first two seasons, and you get a .273 average, 20 homers, 20 stolen bases and 73 RBIs. Lawrie also had an impressive -- but not alarming -- .311 BABIP. Like most young hitters, he needs to draw more walks, but that shouldn't be a problem hitting in a stacked deck that features Jose Reyes, Melky Cabrera, Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion. And in case you haven't noticed, Lawrie is ranked ahead of Middlebrooks.
THE CASE FOR MIDDLEBROOKS: Lawrie also was taken four rounds ahead of Middlebrooks in our experts' mock draft. Middlebrooks, 24, has just as much sleeper appeal at a cheaper price. If not for a broken right wrist in August, Middlebrooks might have hit 20 homers last season. Middlebrooks isn't going to steal 20 bases, but he had a .280 or better average in each of the six major splits. Boston's lineup isn't what it used to be, but Middlebrooks figures to be a major factor in the heart of the order.
VERDICT: Draft season will be interesting for Lawrie and Middlebrooks. The market for Lawrie might not change much, but Middlebrooks' average draft position might continue to climb as we get closer to April. There are injury concerns with both players, but that shouldn't deter you from tapping into their potential. It's a close call, but the stolen bases and lineup upgrades make Lawrie the slightly better bet. Don't be surprised if last year's bust is one of this year's stars at third base.

I have survived another trip around the sun.
{ Comments on this entry are closed }
No, it's going well, really. The last bits of Lovecraft Country are coming into focus and the stuff that's already finished, works. Now I just gotta stick the landing.
Last weekend I left the house for the first time in days and went with Lisa to see Guardians of the Galaxy. The early trailers made it seem like a Marvel version of an Adam Sandler comedy, so I really wasn't expecting much, but after all the good buzz and reviews we decided to give it a shot. We ended up really liking it. Feels more like a (good) Star Wars movie than a Marvel superhero flick, but that's fine.
Meanwhile, back at Marvel HQ, studio president Kevin Feige is twisting himself into knots over the question of why he hasn't yet greenlit a film centered on a female superhero like Black Widow. My guess: When you're responsible for hundreds of millions of dollars of studio money and you like your job, even minor deviations from established formula can seem terrifying. I'm sure they'll come around on this eventually because the potential profits are just too big to ignore, but in the meantime there's a niche here for somebody who can figure out how to do a superhero film on an indie-film budget.

Still hard at work on Lovecraft Country.
This week I finished a section of the novel called "The Narrow House," in which my protagonist's father, in the course of parleying with a ghost, tells the story of how his own father was murdered during the 1921 Tulsa Riot. Next up is "Horace and the Devil Doll," in which corrupt members of the Chicago PD wage an unusual campaign of harassment against a 12-year-old boy.
In other news:
* Ta-Nehisi Coates' Atlantic article "The Case for Reparations" dropped a couple weeks ago. I found it particularly interesting because it covers a lot of the same historical ground as Lovecraft Country, albeit with fewer Necronomicon references.
* On Netflix streaming, Lisa and I stumbled across The Loving Story, a documentary about Mildred and Richard Loving, who were convicted in 1959 of violating Virginia's anti-miscegenation laws and given a choice between prison and leaving the state. While in exile in D.C., Mildred Loving wrote to Bobby Kennedy asking for help, and he directed her to the ACLU, whose lawyers eventually argued the Lovings' case all the way to the Supreme Court. The story is fascinating, but what really makes the documentary is the archival footage of the Lovings themselves, which gives you a sense of who they were and how deeply they cared about each other.
* In the idle diversions category, I've been having a lot of fun with Dream Quest, an iOS game app that combines elements of a Rogue-like RPG and a deck-building game. Review here. Strategy tips here.

It's available in both hardcover and ebook editions. As you can see, Deutscher Taschenbuch Verlag did a really nice job on the jacket design. The German translation, as with my previous novels, is by Ditte and Giovanni Bandini.
Unfortunately I won't be coming to Germany on book tour this time around. Maybe for the paperback.
Meanwhile, I'm still hard at work on Lovecraft Country, currently writing the "Jekyll in Hyde Park" portion of the story. More news soon…

Just got my complimentary author's copies of the Polish translation of The Mirage. Aren't they sexy?
They had a rough time getting here. The first batch got stolen or eaten in transit, and all I received was an empty mailsack with a big hole in the bottom. (Fun fact: the U.S. postal service will still deliver parcels that are obviously missing their contents, even if what's left of the packaging resembles windblown debris.) The folks at REBIS Publishing very kindly sent a second round by special delivery, heavily armored in multiple layers of cardboard, and this time the books arrived safely.
The translation is by Zbigniew A. Królicki and the cover design is by Michał Pawłowski.
(P.S. The long-awaited German translation of The Mirage is due on March 1.)

I let the actual anniversary slip by unnoticed, but 2013 was my twenty-fifth year as a published novelist.
When you've always known what you want to do with your life, and you're fortunate enough to actually be able to do it, there's a tendency in hindsight to think of the breaks you got as inevitable. It's not true, of course. I've been very, very lucky and I know it.
So as the sun sets on 2013, I want to say thank you to everybody who helped me get this far, most notably my parents, my wife Lisa, my teacher and mentor Alison Lurie, my agent Melanie Jackson, my publishers and editors, and of course my readers.
Thanks, guys. And have a great 2014.

Holy crow, it's the end of November already. How'd that happen?
Work on Lovecraft Country continues apace. I've passed the halfway mark, and more importantly, the remaining gaps in the story arc have been filling themselves in neatly. I'm not yet at that magic point where I've got the complete novel in my head, but I can see it off in the distance now and know that I'll get there.
In other news:
* Wednesday's New York Times had a story from the granddaughter of a Bronx landlord who claimed 13-year-old Lee Harvey Oswald liked to shoot at the neighbors with his BB gun. Reading this, it occurred to me that I've never seen a film about the JFK assassination that unambiguously portrayed Oswald as acting alone. But once you admit the possibility, he seems like exactly the sort of character who'd decide, on his own, to try to murder a public figure.
* Laurie Anderson wrote an incredible piece for Rolling Stone about her life with Lou Reed, and their last moments together.
* A Buzzfeed staffer ranked all 144 episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. This is great if you're in the mood to waste huge amounts of time debating the opinions of a stranger. But what else is the Internet for, amirite?
* Now that the Seattle weather's turned cold, I put out the hummingbird feeder, and almost immediately got a customer. This led to a breakfast-table conversation with Lisa about whether this was the same hummingbird who visited us last winter. Then, while I was checking hummingbird lifespans on Wikipedia (3-5 years on average, so yeah, it could be the same guy) I noticed that our Anna's hummingbirds are described as "medium-sized," which begged the question, "If that's medium, what does a small one look like?"
Like this:
This is a bee hummingbird, the smallest bird in the world. Wish we could lure some to Seattle, but seeing as they are native to Cuba I doubt they'd like the climate much.

For the next
two four weeks, The Mirage English-language ebook is on sale for just $1.99 from all the major U.S. outlets, including Google, iTunes, Kindle, Kobo, and Nook.
From what I can tell, the sale extends to at least some international markets as well—I'm seeing an equivalent reduction in Kindle edition prices in continental Europe, Japan, India, Brazil, and Mexico.
Also, the Polish-language edition of The Mirage has just been published by REBIS. Cool cover!
UPDATE: The Mirage has been chosen for the Kindle Big Deal, so the sale has been extended through October 28th.

Sandi Gateman's Event Journal
Tuesday December 15, 2009 / 7:30pmXanadu
2 tickets

How was your experience?
Being a fan of the 1980 movie, I was very disappointed. Xanadu does not translate well to the stage and a lot was lost in trying to make it a comedy. The jokes weren't funny at all, the stage set was boring and never changed. The music and singing, however was great.

Amazon and Redbox will provide competition.
Comcast will not. People HATE Comcast. I don't, but I know of no one else who doesn't hate them.
lol..if anyone thinks Comcast is competition for Netflix than they obviously haven't tried both services.
also, $4.99 + a Comcast subscription is significantly more expensive than $8.99 last time I checked.
hgh 1
Comcast already has "on-demand" and their movie selections are weak as compared to Netflix; Comcast can't even currently maintain their own customer churn so who would think they could compete against Netflix given they are across the globe and growing with better selection; Comcast treats their customers as if they are in an oligopoly (which they are vs. satellite and antennae-only services); their customer service is awful; Netflix wins out in the short, mid and long-term!
Life is so lonely .I need a man who can love me back .I also uploaded my hot photos on affluentlove.C 0 M under the name of judy100..It's the largest and best club for meet rich and wealthy singles for friendship, dating and romance, photo personals, instant messages, chat and more. I am a rich and single woman at present.Please Check it out
Just a ploy to gobble up the stock cheap. Buy, Buy Buy, Netflix is working on newer releases and this is going to take off. Cheaper than Comcast IF YOU'RE A SUBSCRIBER, add that cost in too.
Believe it or not, it took TWO clowns to write this riduculously false "article," and that's the best they could produce!
what these guys don't get is that most of us is Netflix growth will come from us cord cutters..so these cable, dish tv add ons are not competition
Although I haven't been impressed by the very stupid and heavy-handed approach of netflix management in rolling out decisions like splitting the dvd and online streaming, I still find netflix to offer the best possible value. If you watch more movies and dvd like I do, you would find the choices like redbox not to be cheap at all.
Like others who have rightly pointed out, those who think that comcast is serious contender to netflix are clueless. Price alone does not at all offer the complete picture of the competitive landscape. If Steve Jobs were still around, he might've been able to coerce movie studios in signing over their content library to apple store, and that would be the most serious contention in online streaming. As it is now, even hulu isn't as interesting as netflix.
Still, I'm one of those discontent with netflix that I go back to dvd-only subscription plan after the split. I didn't ask for instant viewing anyways, and I don't want to pay another eight bucks for something that I don't use often enough.
One needs to look six months ahead. Will Amazon untie its service from Prime? What will the Verizon/Redbox service look like and cost? Content costs for Netflix may be much higher than their estimates creating cash flow issues, and how many of the 600,000 new subscribers over the holidays will stick once their free month trial expires? And when will Apple and Google announce their streaming serices? Too much uncertainty in my mind despite Neflix's clear superiority today.
Someone's kicking himself over that attempt to split streaming from DVD.
This has to be one of the most inaccurate and foolish reports I have ever read about Netflix. Are these two writers children? And by the way, losing or reducing a dying concept, DVD rentals delivered to your home has also significantly reduced operating costs which will help their bottom line and allow them to focus on the growing business of streaming infrastructure and content. Also, Comcast only offers this sub standard streaming service to their "corded" customer base which will be falling drastically in the upcoming months and years….."cord cutters".
Next time, I suggest you spend more time researching a business or industry than the time it takes you to write such a false and misleading article!!
As long as Amazon and the premuim networks refuse to stream closed captioning, those of us with hearing issues will stay with Netflix and Hulu.
Hope you guys enjoy holding that bag for the investment banks. It's not that Netflix doesn't have a good product. It's that they don't have a sustainable business model. There's a big difference, and just because you don't like Comcast as much doesn't mean NFLX stock isn't going to crater.

I love the way these guys convince you to sign up. 'Less than your lunch' and then why not save 20%? The small size of the boxes helps to make signing up less of a big deal.
The way we dealt with this complexity was by pushing the burden of knowledge onto a few experts within the company. These folks distilled customer desires into features and wrote up a implementation plans. When they vetted this with the others on the business-side, they gave what amounted to a very specific todo list to engineering.
This is harmful because, as a business, you're trying to hire the best and brightest folks across your organization. By not allowing your employees to operate on the same data across the organization, you breed a culture of assembly-line workers: folks who don't ask questions, just do what they're told. This is not what you want the best and brightest to be doing!
The key behind solving this issue is sharing the whys behind decision. By coloring in some of the context around why a feature is necessary, you allow lateral thinking among your employees. If I, as an engineer, can accomplish the same "why" for a given story but with dramatically less work than the proposed implementation plan, that's better for everyone involved.
This talk is bloody fantastic for anyone working in sofrware development, but particularly for anyone in a big organisation.
Love it.
Broken windows are the reason most large software projects suck to work on. A little technical debt here, a few shortcuts there, and pretty soon you've got a codebase so full of broken windows that no one even cares if they throw another pile of broken glass on the heap.
But just as broken windows are contagious, so is a dedication to quality. Carve out a little piece of a messy codebase and clean it up. Sharpen the edges, polish the surface and make it shine.
