This team doesn't know how to quit
OMAHA, Neb. -- Baseball is not supposed to work like this.
It's a game predicated on inconsistency and unpredictability, of highs and lows so extreme and wildly swinging that even the best of the planet's athletes sometimes flunk themselves out of a career virtually overnight.
So, can you blame South Carolina's staff and players when a few of them offered realistic assessments a week ago, on the eve of the College World Series?
"We're just happy we made it this far," one said, rolling his eyes.
"Well, I'm not expecting to be here long," another said with a straight face.
You have to appreciate that honesty. Baseball is not supposed to work like this. Right?
Normally, no. But we've learned in three years' time that this South Carolina team isn't exactly normal.
This year, the players borderline hero-worship a Betta fish named Reptar, the pet of newcomer LB Dantzler. Two years ago, they fashioned the mystical "Avatar Spirit Stick" by taping a baseball to a fungo bat.
The relievers have done a Rockettes routine in the bullpen during tense moments. The dugout swayed and danced last week as everyone sang "Don't Stop Believin' " when the team trailed in the middle innings.
They're weird. And they win.
Still, there surely had to be some limit to this magical run. Even those on the payroll, salary or scholarship, thought so.
After claiming national championships the past two years -- the first men's NCAA titles in the school's history, mind you -- the reachable, reasonable goal for the Gamecocks in 2012 was to just get to this round of eight. If they pulled that off, with a mostly new crew of arms and bats, that would be a remarkable accomplishment.
And it was. But they don't know when -- or how -- to quit, evidently. True to what earned them the past two trophies, they have continued to find a way to defy logic and history books. The Gamecocks have won anyway -- despite mounting circumstances against them.
How about facing the most talented team in the field, Florida, to start the event? The result: a 7-3 come-from-behind victory in which the Gators (three errors) melted down.
How about having to play two games in one day, the first time that's happened in Omaha since 1980? The result: The opponents scored a run on five hits in those 18 innings, and South Carolina became the first team since 1952 to win two games in one day in the College World Series.
The Gamecocks made it three wins in two days, defeating Arkansas 3-2 in a grind-it-out, lose-years-off-your-life sort of elimination game Friday night.
"Unbelievable," was all ace Michael Roth could muster in a text message after the victory that again launched the Gamecocks into the championship series.
Should they find a way to win two more games -- against very capable Arizona, granted -- they'll join the Southern Cal teams of the early 1970s (1970-74) as the only teams to win three consecutive College World Series.
Ray Tanner, who arrived at South Carolina in 1997, already had established the school as one of the recognizable contenders in the sport, but what the past three years have done is lift the Gamecocks to the game's top tier. They might not be LSU, Texas or USC yet -- but they're gaining ground quickly.
Don't believe it? In addition to the very real possibility of a three-peat, South Carolina had won 22 consecutive NCAA tournament games -- 12 straight in Omaha -- until Arkansas ended that streak Monday night in a 2-1 result. Texas previously held the record, with 15. These Gamecocks, even with the names and faces changing each year -- and especially in 2012 -- are lapping the field with what they're doing.
That's where a tip of the cap is merited for Tanner and his staff of Chad Holbrook, Jerry Meyers and Sammy Esposito. They are baseball coaches who have dabbled in chemistry the past two years, fusing together the remaining pieces with new ones. They push the parts together, step back and hope there's no explosion.
It looked for a time this season when the whole thing was going to go nuclear, when the Gamecocks started 1-5 in the SEC and the brash and sometimes-immature newcomers were frustrating the older guys. (Roth and one of the freshmen had to be separated when the youngster refused to take part in the dugout antics.)
But winning has a way of ironing out differences and bringing guys together. At one point, South Carolina won 12 consecutive conference games. Despite the start, it won its division and fell just a win shy of the outright league title. Those impatient fans who were howling in March were cooing in familiar joy by Memorial Day.
Travis Haney
Haney is the author of three books -- including Gamecock Glory and Gamecock Encore, which chronicled the South Carolina baseball team's run to the 2010 and 2011 national championships.
The closer June drew near, the more the Gamecocks played as they did the past two summers. Now that it's here, it's as if nothing's changed, even though there are five new position players in the everyday lineup. Give the rookies respect: With a new third baseman, shortstop and second baseman, the team has committed just one error in the five CWS games.
With Roth and closer Matt Price leading the way, pitching again has been the team's calling card. Its current 2.95 ERA is incredible, right in between the 2011 (2.45) and 2010 (3.45) versions.
In the three years, South Carolina pitchers have held opponents to a .224 batting average while they have batted .288, getting just enough timely hitting to scratch out close wins. The team has won a total of 37 one-run games the past three seasons, including seven in Omaha.
It's silly, all of it. An athletic program known for choking in big moments, long held as the Chicken Curse, is now recognized as clutch because of what the Carolina 9 have done during these summers.
Baseball is not supposed to work like this. Given the Gamecocks' track record, however, it sure seems like it could for at least two more games.

Island Global Yachting will manage Croatian marina
Posted onIsland Global Yachting and Nautical Center Prgin, one of Croatia's leading marine industry companies, finalized a joint-venture agreement and released plans for development of the marina.
Renovations will include the addition of 65 megayacht berths to the existing 350 wet slips, transforming the facility into the new Mandalina Marina & Yacht Club — Croatia's first dedicated megayacht marina.
Under the agreement, the current marina, which already provides berthing for multiple megayachts, is co-branded IGY and NCP and is now managed by IGY.
The new Mandalina Marina & Yacht Club is situated in Sibenik on Croatia's Dalmatian Coast.
IGY offers a collection of marinas in the Caribbean, as well as properties in the Americas. In addition, IGY is also involved in the emerging marina market in the Middle East.

First, calculate the chances of a disaster vs. where you can actually find customers and IT talent. There are not too many highly trained systems administrators in rural New Mexico. Also, can you get enough customers to pay the bills for your multi-million dollar co-location facility? Seems to me the location is worth the risk. If you are well prepared, you can mitigate the damages. It is more of a risk to have a crappy business location.

I have seen this as well. It's not uncommon for someone coming from Windows to ask "What is a good Linux distro to learn on?". Some knucklehead will pipe up with Gentoo, LFS, or Slackware so that they "learn" linux.

In other words, Mr Shuttleworth, so long and thanks for all the fish.
Actually, I would say thanks for spending a lot of money to create and promote a Linux distribution that even non-linux geeks have heard about. He has done more to increase exposure of Linux than most anyone. It's unfortunate that Canonical isn't doing well since I think most people would say that building a sustainable model to keep Linux in the spotlight is a good thing for the community as a whole. Guess what?... servers and bandwidth cost money. Advertising and putting on events cost money. When was the last time you contributed to your local LUG to keep it afloat?

Re:High Ambition (321 comments)
You are right about this one. I recently listened to a podcast with Kevin Smith interviewing Mark Hamill and the Star Wars franchise is more of a blip in his career path.
He has a lot more going for him than just being typecast as Luke. He was doing voiceover before Star Wars as well as after. And he's really good. Listen to the podcast for proof.
Re:If somebody compared me... (336 comments)
I guess if I had to pick the comparisons (Jobs Rockefeller, Hughes, or Stark)... I pick Stark.
Hughes wouldn't be that bad if the guy didn't have that "saving my pee" habit.
Re:As I sit here typing on a 28 year old keyboard. (201 comments)
I miss my old clicky keyboard. I have been meaning to pick up a modified USB model, but have not gotten around to it. PS2 to USB adapters don't work that well at boot time. We still use them for some of our lab equipment. I agree they are the best keyboards ever made.
I just got back from LinuxWorld Expo in San Francisco. The overall trip raised some questions (for me) about the future of Linux. I attended the show mainly because I am "working" the booth for my employer. I am a developer, so I am on hand to answer technical questions. (ya know.. Stump the Chump) This was the 5th LinuxWorld I have attended. It appears that the attendence was down yet again.
The show started this year with a whimper instead of a bang. Usually there is a mad rush throughout the exhibit hall. A mixture of hardcore Linux/Free Software geeks and System Administrators for companies. Mixed in with some "schwag hags" (people who do not even know what linux is, but are there for the free stuff). I know it may seen harse to label the attendees, but they are easy to spot. The sysadmins have green conference badges. The geeks have exhibit only passes and look like...well....geeks. They are hard to miss. The schwag hags are walking around with huge bags full of t-shirts and backpacks.
This year, the conference attendees were harder to spot than bigfoot. The geeks were very few. (even in the
Another oddity was the absence of Red Hat. When the largest Linux distribution decides to not show up....something is a miss. Not only were they not exhibiting, but all other exhibitors were using SuSE for their demos. The HP, IBM, Intel, and Oracle booths were all running SLED 10. That is great for Novell, but it was as if RedHat no longer existed. I later found out that they decided not to attend because they have their own RedHat specific trade show.
So has the bubble of Linux hype burst? Are the community efforts are getting lost in the shuffle? Contributing to a major linux distribution is about as easy to get code into Microsoft Vista. With SuSE, RedHat, Ubuntu, Mandriva all fighting for a slice of the corporate pie, quality control is preventing "Joe Geek" from getting any code changes implemented. So the answer to this is usually, go out on your own. Well, creating a new project these days is like creating a website and expecting a huge crowd of people go there. You are a needle in a stack of needles. Just look at sourceforge and you will find thousands of abandoned projects. They can't all be crap.
As far as the corporate world, is Linux really the money saver that was promised? Sure you can download Debian, put Apache on it and you have a webserver for free. However, most corporate environments need some sort of guarenteed support plan before they will agree to a new implementation. So they end up purchasing RHEL, along with the maintenance contract. They pay to get support for MySQL or Oracle, they hire System Administrators that know Linux. You add in the cost of the transition (person hours for retraining) along with the loss of productivity (because the sales team has trouble moving to OpenOffice Calc) and are you really saving money? I think that left to the community, Linux was a money saver for some things. However, now that SuSE and RedHat (as well as Canonical for you Ubuntu fanboys), are so bent on being the next IBM Global Services, Linux no longer the savior of the IT budget.
So as you see, I don't have any answers, but a lot of questions. I don't know if I will be at LinuxWorld SF next year. But if I am not going for my company, I sure won't go on my own. The feel of LinuxWorld a few years back can only be felt in small shows like SoCalLinuxExpo or LugradioLive. Although older than Linux, maybe FreeBSD is the next unspoiled frontier.

Also a lot of the dispalays in the open area of the pavilion were not working, if you think about not all that many people came in for any one of these aspects but when you add them all together they not only bring more people in but keep them there longer once they get there If they are only going to open it again in this same sad state I'm afraid it's a case of "why bother"

Object Culture
For small parts storage, I use the cheapie Stack-On containers we covered here. They're useful and inexpensive, but their design also dates back at least several decades. For a more modern-day solution, check out industrial design and manufacturing engineer Jeffrey Bean's Twist Tubes.
Bean's background comes with heavy tooling experience, yielding a specialty in "the rapid design and build of plastic injection molds." He's used his skillset to create a series of storage tubes that open from the side, via rotation, and feature both colored and clear polycarbonate in the same package (for color-coded organization and visibility, respectively). And his Twist Tubes are designed to avoid the one thing that's happened to all of us at some point: Dropping the container and spilling its contents everywhere. Although cylindrical, the toothed design of the cap means the Tubes will lie flat on their sides, preventing them from rolling off of a table; the sealed design (unlike a Stack-On drawer) means the Tubes won't spill their contents even if dropped; and the polycarb ought to withstand the impact of an accidental bench dive.
Bean has also designed a variety of holding mechanisms for the Tubes, addressing multiple needs: Permanently mounted, toteable, and hangable on-site. He appears to have funded most of the tooling himself, but has turned to Kickstarter for the final leg of the product's development. The funding target was a surprisingly low $7,500, which Bean easily cleared over this holiday weekend. Here's the pitch video:
While I'm somewhat iffy on cylindrical storage devices because they're not as space-efficient as rectilinear ones, I (and you) have another 30 days think on it and get in on the Kickstarter.

Hi all, once I heard that it was a common japanese practice, long time ago, to grow the lawn and wait until people walking on it leave worn grass and footprint marks in order to properly trace the best pathway based on the path that people actually already use before building stepping stones pathways... is it a fact? are there any references, texts or books I can use to guide a research I've being doing on this premise? It seems a really interest concept and a really remakable philosophy... Thanks in advance... |

The Problem With LinkedIn Groups
Posted on July 12th 2013
It would appear that LinkedIn has a problem.
Some LinkedIn group moderators are refusing to approve content from an awful lot of people. Having contributed to a variety of different LinkedIn groups over the past year or so, in the last 3 months I've noticed that none of the posts or comments that I made were actually seeing the light of day, so I decided to dig a little deeper.
The content published in LinkedIn groups is completely at the whim of moderators
When I reached out on Google Plus I was contacted by several other people for whom the exact same thing had happened. They are respected professionals, curating high quality content and yet they are also routinely finding that their posts are blocked and never get past the moderators.
If it is happening to me and to them – how many people is this really affecting?
The first thing you will be thinking when I state my posts are blocked is that I am spamming. I'm not. I pride myself on my integrity and have no interest in continually self promoting myself or bombarding any site with posts. I am active in supporting many other marketing and social media professionals and always post content from a broad range of sources.
Consider this scenario. I am part of a social media marketing group, after a 2 week gap I visit the group, read some articles, comment on a couple to thank the author and give some additional input, I share an article and like 3 or 4 others. I then post a recent article i'd enjoyed reading from Social Media Today, about – social media. 3 weeks on and the post still hasn't been approved (and neither have the 4 others i've posted in the last 3 months).
Why should I take time to read, comment and share group content when i'm not afforded the same opportunity back?
Now, that alone doesn't sound like too much, but when I returned to the group a few hours later I saw a lot of new content had been approved and was live on the Group page. One article caught my eye in particular as it was about how to get your own back on a cheating husband. It had nothing at all to do with social media and read like a personal blog post more suited to a women's gossip magazine. The thing that angered me however wasn't the fact that a totally off-topic post had been approved, it was the fact the article dominated the front page as it had been posted multiple times one after the other.
Now that is pretty poor moderation by anyone's standards.
- As far as I am aware, I adhere to all the LinkedIn groups laid out rules and guidelines
- I post approximately once every 2-3 weeks
- The content I post is always bang on topic
- I share a variety of content from a wide variety of quality sources
- I always visit the groups more frequently than I attempt to post in order to actively contribute by liking, sharing and commenting on other content i've read and found useful
- The articles of my own that I share have always been positively received on my own blog and on other social networks
- Contacting moderators has given me no joy and they've not contacted me back to let me know what I am doing wrong (which I suspect is nothing)
- Many of these groups approve content that is low quality, totally off topic and extremely spammy
So why is this happening? So called LinkedIn 'influences' are clearly being given top priority whilst the content from would-be influencers is actively hidden. How does one hope to become an influencer if their content is never approved and published? If someone is breaking rules that are leading to their posts not being approved, then fair enough, but when that clearly isn't the case and your attempts to contact a group moderator is ignored – what then?
LinkedIn groups are the absolute antithesis of freedom of speech
It has also been theorised by others who are current victims of this kind of group moderation, that LinkedIn moderators clearly have their own agendas and aren't putting content live from individuals who they see as a threat or competition. It's just a theory but does seem entirely plausible, I really don't understand why quality content from authoritative sources would be routinely suppressed. This makes me question the quality and authenticity of the content on LinkedIn.
As a direct result of this I have made the decision to simply remove myself from these groups and continue doing what I do in the far superior Google Plus communities I am a part of. LinkedIn groups do not allow freedom of speech and they seem to be letting the views of only a select few be known.
What is your experience of LinkedIn groups? Perhaps you've experienced similar or you are a LinkedIn group moderator wanting to put your side of the story across? If so, I'd love to hear from you!
I don't disagree with you, but the same is being done right here on the SocialMediaToday.com website, correct? Is it censorship or is it the responsibility of the moderator to set communication standards for the community? I've got something to say about social media, but I can't do it here freely on this site. I'm not confused nor upset about my inability to do so. In fact, I'm thankful that I have a knowledgeable and credible party who filters message relevance for me. I suspect that LinkedIn groups were intended to do much the same, allowing the moderator to set editorial standards and letting the market's engagement determine whether the group is successful or not. Free speech vs. free market is the debate here. I, for one, would subscribe to free market, where my choice to be in the group or not is my own, even at the peril of my ability to have every post published. LinkedIn groups are not a right, but, rather, a privilege. And, while social media seems to suggest unabated openness, I don't think that the LinkedIn "community" benefits from the concept that everyone's personal editorials are worth posting. You seem to be a credible author worth posting to social media forums, but shake it off and don't take it personal. These groups are not open and the choice to leave the group is yours. That, to me, is the right worth defending.
You write: "but it is a real shame that the moderators afford no sort of fairness or recognition of an individuals extensive contributions to a group and refuse to even provide a warning or responss when contacted."
LI's written help requires the moderator to notify the individual that they have been SWAMMED.
But, since LI has never formally announced the program, most LI group owners remain clueless about block and delete.
It is also possible that you could have been accidentally blocked and deleted.
Re: "but it is a real shame that the moderators afford ...... refuse to even provide a warning ..."
As the manager of a supegroup with 200,000+ members, I'll weigh in on it. Our group used to consistently provide friendly reminders, etc. As the group grew, it became more challenging and when they did take the time, members were extremely rude. We took sending reminders to members away as a responsibility of the moderators. It is up to each moderator to decide if content is strong enough to send a reminder if, for example, the member posted the content in the wrong subgroup or included some promotional conent in the post. As the group manager and assistant manager (we created that position once the group became really large), we have continued to provide reminders but I am at the point that I will be fewer sent. This week alone 4 members have been extemely abusive. Why would anyone send warnings and friendly reminders and have their day disrupted by unpleasant interactions? H
Group Manager and Moderator positions are volunteer posts and the members who fill these positions dedicate many hours each and every week without compensation to ensure that groups run smoothly. Putting up with rudeness and abuse is not what people sign up for. Personally, I would not tolerate this degree of abuse from a paying client. I am not about to set myself up to be abused for free. onestly, it's simply easier just to hit the delete button.
Great article.
This past Wednesday we started a #NOSWAM movement. Please tweet with that hashtag.
SWAM policy has done what I call:
They maximised the occurences of False Positives: i.e. those have great content and and are non-spammer not only group moderators are stopping them but any group member can flag and jam the moderation queue by which moderators don't even bother but just "select all" and delete all.
They maximised the occurences of False Negatives: As fake profiles and SPAMMERS continue to go undetected.
LI's response so far, they blacklisted the word "SWAM" from the search bar, you will never find anysearch results on "Updates" search about it.
Another article to consider reading http://scs-connect.com/have-you-been-swamd/
Also you can join the LI SWAM support group SWAM (Site Wide Auto Moderation) Support -- A Spam Free Group.
I'm so glad to see this post. I agree with you especially how moderators basically control what they want published even if it's not spammy. I myself am using less of the "groups" and have experienced more support in Google+.
We really like G+ too -- please check out our page if you haven't already:
We also recently started a G+ Community and are looking for more engagement there -- so come find us!
Incidentally, when I posted the comment above, SocialMediaToday.com sent me to a page that read, "Your comment has been queued for moderation by site administrators and will be published after approval." Not only are the originals posts have to pass through a gatekeeper, so are the comments. It would appear that this site is more restrictive to its community than LinkedIn, but I'm a fan nonetheless.
Sean -- we certainly appreciate the support! This method of comment moderation is how we most successfully keep out the spammers, but we are currently exploring other avenues that will ease the flow of conversation and community feel while still keeping out the junk. Anyway, thanks for weighing in.
My simple rule. I avoid sites that don't support conversation. There is so many things to read, why bother with a site that works to be an #oldmedia property... vomiting out contsupport get eyeballs on ads?
if comments are closEd, moderated, ignored, they are doomed and don't need our support to keep them on life ssupport on linkedin, the #oldmedia influence has always been there, active groups mve elsewhere. And the current promotion of hand picked articles is turning the front page into Yahoo/national enquirer tabloid journalism
I did see this post there first, had to remember the trick to avoid their idiot reader that locks up comments and sharing and put this in a browser. Hardly the preferred way to get content n my iPad.
@Sean and @Myong Joh: The symptoms that the author is facing may OR may not be due to moderator's behavior.
It is possible this is due to LI instituting this automatic functionality "sitewide automatic moderation" by which 1 or more persons flagging a post for whatever reason and based on settings of group's moderator (whose queues are jammed) AND with OR without group moderator's knowledge, the author is getting into moderation in ALL groups she belongs. This functionality and policy is called SWAM. Premium subscribers including me are dropping subscriptions in droves after being stung by it. We are not spammers or fake profiles in any way or shape.
@Myong: Is there a way to find out from the author if she is experiencing this in ALL the LI groups she belongs or just the one she discusses?
Here are few blogs discussing it and you can find more googling "SWAM" and "LinkedIn"
http://scs-connect.com/have-you-been-swamd/ (Barbara Giamanco is a LinkedIn Insider and has not been SWAM'd)
These are LinkedIn's own info. on it.
Rini, Shell is keeping tabs on this comment thread. I'll double check to make sure she's still keeping track! Thanks for the great info you're contributing.
SWAM is an abusive, disrespectful and libelous abuse of many LinkedIn members who are nothing other than victims and have done nothing wrong.
I have been a paying Premium member of LinkedIn for ten years.
I REFUSE to give LI anymore of my money unless they repair my SWAM victimization. I will NOT renew my Premium membership unless SWAM is eliminated and the full, complete and normal functionality for victims like myself is reinstated.
SWAM peer support group for those of us who have been victimized
LinkedIn 10-K 2012 Annual Report (filed Feb 19, 2013)
I quote from this report
"Our core value of putting our members first may conflict with the short-term interests of our business."
"One of our core values is to make decisions based on the best interests of our members, which we believe is essential to our success in increasing our member growth rate and engagement and in serving the best, long-term interests of the company and our stockholders. Therefore, in the past, we have forgone, and may in the future forgo, certain expansion or short-term revenue opportunities that we do not believe are in the best interests of our members, even if our decision negatively impacts our operating results in the short term. In addition, as part of our philosophy of putting our members first, as long as our members are adhering to our terms of service, this philosophy may cause disagreements, or negatively impact our relationships, with our existing or prospective customers. This could result in enterprises and professional organizations blocking access to our services or refusing to purchase our Talent or Marketing Solutions or Premium Subscriptions. Our decisions may not result in the long-term benefits that we expect, in which case our member engagement, business and operating results could be harmed. "
"If we do not continue to attract new customers, or if existing customers do not renew their subscriptions, renew on less favorable terms, or fail to purchase additional solutions, we may not achieve our revenue projections, and our operating results would be harmed."
You have more than likely been SWAMed. Had "Site Wide Auto Moderation" applied against you.
Good overview of the problem is in the following link:
The SWAM problem is currently causing a great deal of grief to a number of long term and responsible Linkedin members, including those with (or that had) paying membership.
To-date the response from Linkedin has been a deafening silence. LinkedIn may be monitoring and addressing the problem however there has been no indication that this is the case.
In addition to not addressing the problem, LinkedIn have even appeared to have blacklisted the word SWAM from their search bar.
This has the potential to destroy LinkedIn. A number LinkedIn group managers are urging their very large membership to migrate over to Google +. Watch closely as LinkedIn disappears through their own ineptitude and arrogance.
I guess the purpose of groups on LinkedIn (and maybe even the purpose of LinkedIn itself) has confused me for quite some time. How do groups like the Britney Spears Music Lovers or Despicable Me align with the purpose of LinkedIn and what is that purpose?
We want to inform you about a new 'feature' that was implemented by LinkedIn near the beginning of 2013. They did not announce this new procedure to group owners or to LinkedIn membership at large. If you are blocked or blocked and deleted by any group manager/owner, you are placed in Site-Wide Automatic Moderation (SWAM) in the rest of your groups. That means that each of your posts will be pended until someone in the group's management team approves it. This can take days or weeks, depending on how involved the managers are, or, it may not happen at all.
This has created problems for people. It may result in a loss of revenue or leads for those using LinkedIn to conduct business, and difficulty maintaining connections. Participation in discussions in a timely manner becomes an impossible task. There is no way to reverse the procedure, and if you contact LinkedIn Customer Service, you will be told to contact each group's owner/managers and request that they remove you from moderation. They also do not inform you which group blocked you. Many group owners still don't know about SWAM, and people continue to have great difficulty getting themselves removed from moderation in all/most of their groups. Being SWAM'd, as it is called, will not cause you to be placed in moderation in any groups you join after you have been SWAM'd. We think members of the site should be made aware of this issue.
In my groups we generally use the remove feature rather than the block feature for members, unless someone has really pushed the boundaries.
Individuals who have been SWAM'd and wish to join a peer support group that is working on eliminating SWAM might want to check out
SWAM (Site Wide Auto Moderation) Support - A SPAM Free Group
Hello Shell -- A quick question, are you on moderation in every group or just that one group?
Thanks for your blog -- very well communicated.
If it is more than one group, you might have been a victim of SWAM functionality of LinkedIn? Do you know about this policy?
To learn more http://scs-connect.com/have-you-been-swamd/
Site Wide Automatic Moderation (SWAM) is a huge issue. I have had the unpleasant experience of a competitor marking one of my comments as spam. Following that action, I found that LinkedIn automatically put all of my future comments, posts and groups under moderation. Further - each new group I attempted to join is provided with the flag as well. The damage to my reputation is serious, though could have been worse. Fortunately, the high quality of my engagements has made the process of having the moderation lifted group-by-group has been fairly simple wherever I'm known. Where I'm not known is a completely different story. (Typed on iPhone. Apologies for any typos.)
Randy, I agree that due to the high calibre of my contribution in my groups, the mods would have all taken me out of moderation (all 46 of my groups) BUT, how do you know which one originally SWAMed you, hence you will send them the request, too?
Also, say I go through all of that work and get back in, and then BANG, I am SWAMed again for any reason never to be made known to me?
Answer: I DELETED MY LINKEDIN PROFILE AND MOVED my helpfulness to G+.
This SWAM police should be illegal.
G+ isnt any better, I spent ages on a profile for a client, looking for the right communities to join, then one day I came to use G+ and nothing worked- I have a linkedin account with 2k+contacts and 60 groups and I now think its a question of "when" rather than "if " I get blocked . I will open up a new account for the use in groups only - WHAT A PAIN
LinkedIn has officially not reacted to the SWAM discussion, nor shared data of how many effected. We are trying to collect stories aka data to understand the extent of the problem that LinkedIn members are facing similar to @Shelly. Please share your story: http://swamsupport.org/
We can do it. Share and spread the word.
Linked in have the most useless customer service I've ever had the misfortune to use. I've been blocked from all groups I suspect by someone who took a dislike to something I said (because I'm not a spammer. I understand being blocked from one group - but the policy to ban you from every group to which you belong is a linked in policy and one I consider defamatory. I am now flagged to all as a spammer - with the absence of any evidence. I am guilty as charged, I can't defend or put forward my case. What's more this prison sentence is forever. thanks for your article - it's great to feel I am not alone!

Title: Becoming Dante
Author: Day Leclaire
Publication Info: Harlequin 2012
Genre: Contemporary Romance
This RITA® Reader Challenge 2013 review was written by Melanie. This story was nominated for the RITA® in the Short Contemporary Series category.
The summary:
A secret Dante
All his life, Gabe Moretti has denied his Dante heritage-but when he meets Kat Malloy, his late wife's cousin, the Dante Inferno cannot be ignored. He tells himself it's only business-her hand in exchange for a necklace his mother created.
But when one touch leads to another-and a kiss leads to more-Gabe realizes he's in over his head. Because Kat has secrets he needs to uncover.
And now he'll have to do the one thing he's sworn never to do-go to his Dante relatives to find out the truth about this powerful passion….
And here is Melanie's review:
This is me, Chapter 1 of Becoming Dante: oh, dear.
Can I tell you what happened when Kat stormed into Gabe's office?
(Do you need to know why? She had a Plan for Restoring her Good Name with her Beloved, Estranged Grandmother.)
(Do you need to know why he was resistant? She was the Evil Harlot who Shamed her Beloved Cousin, his Future – now Tragically Dead – Wife.)
Right. So in storms Kat, and my 'oh, dear'-o-meter goes off: "She's yours, came an insidious whisper. Take the woman!" (Italics, sadly, not mine.)
A couple pages later, the "insidious whisper lashed at him. Take her. Make her yours. Brand her with your touch."
I am not so fond of this insidious whisper. I mean, they're in his office. Shouldn't the insidious whisper (yes, I love typing 'insidious whisper,' why do you ask?) want to preserve a modicum of Gabe's professional dignity? (I'm not sure I caught what Gabe does. Big Powerful Businessman with Important Corporate Whatnots, okay?) Shouldn't it not be encouraging sexual aggression?
Now, it turns out – and if I'd been up on this series I'd surely have known this – that the whisper is part of a magic soulmate-predicting power (the Inferno) that the Dante family has, and Gabe is the unacknowledged bastard son of a Dante who ignored his own whisper and married for money and had an affair with his whisper-ee later and now Gabe has legitimate half-siblings who all seem to work for the family's fancy jewelry firm.
Which happens to be the exact company that Kat is hoping to design jewelry for some day, but she doesn't know about Gabe's connection to them until later. All she knows is that her cousin framed her back when she was 19, and no one ever believed her, so she ran off to Europe, where I guess there's no internet to keep her abreast of developments, and when she returns with the Plan (you do remember the Plan?) she also feels the Inferno, but doesn't get what it means.
The Plan is 'let's pretend we're in love and engaged so Grandma will forgive me and in return I'll give you the fancy diamond necklace your mom designed back when she worked for Dante and was Inferno-ized then dumped by Dante Sr., which my grandma will leave for me in her will since she's dying.'
Gabe agrees, but counter-plans of course to completely ruin her freshly-restored name as soon as the necklace (the only thing in the world he covets) is his. Meanwhile he harasses her into some power-lust-bomb kisses that make their eyes cross and their palms burn (it's an Inferno thing, the palms), and decides that he is going to get the necklace and some great nookie while he's at it.
Kat's all "no, no sex for me, thanks anyway," which you can imagine lasts until about half-way through the book, as these things so often do.
By then, I wasn't quite so 'oh, dear' about the book. I liked Gabe's journey as he learned to deal with his dad's family, and the whole Kat-Grandma thing packed a punch.
The Happy Ever Aftering of Gabe and Kat? Not all that amazing. Kat wasn't a character that needed to grow particularly, just to have everyone realize how perfect she is and always has been, the better for us to admire her kindness, spirit, resiliency in the face of slander, etc. And she was way passive about a lot that happened in their relationship. Sometimes internally she questioned what Gabe was up to, but seemed to just think her way into acceptance and understanding without much trouble. Although I suppose the Inferno-Power thing was to blame for it, because of the InstaLove and all.
Gabe, though, had to grow. But it was a series of making assumptions, holding grudges, having the assumptions overturned, and instantly being grudge-free and moving forward. Not much of it was driven by wrestling his internal demons or whatever. I felt like a lot of what happened with him (other than whispers of the insidious variety) happened off-page, and I was just told about it. Leclair writes smoothly; I wish she'd toned down the magic-soulmate thing and gotten a little rougher with Kat and Gabe as they fought their way to palm-burning-bliss.

The one that I did find hadn't had new posts in months, and was specifically for lovers who are overseas, this is for all cases.

The Bharatiya Janata Party will hold a national convention in the city in December to bring pressure on the Centre to formulate national fishing policy so as to address the concerns expressed by the fishing community.
BJP national secretary P. Muralidhar Rao, who is on a tour of coastal areas on a fact-finding mission, told reporters on Wednesday that the party leadership was in favour of drafting a policy and later bring pressure on the UPA Government to adopt a similar policy for the welfare of fishermen and all others dependent on fishing.
Mr. Rao, who is a close aide of BJP president of Nitish Gadkari, earlier visited fishing areas in Vizianagaram and Srikakulam and interacted with fishermen at the fishing harbour here. He is scheduled to visit Gangavaram and Mutyalammapalem on Thursday.
Meeting held
At a meeting with fishermen conducted by AP Mechanised Boat Operators' Welfare Association (APMBOA) and Dolphin Boat Operators' Welfare Association (DBOWA), he said the party was committed to take up the cause of the fishermen at the national level.
He promised to oppose displacement of fishermen due to Special Economic Zones, allotment of lands indiscriminately to private parties on the coastal areas and construction of private ports.
Stating that the livelihood of fishermen all along 7,000-km long coast was under threat due to the policies followed by the UPA Government, Mr. Rao said it was a pity that even at the Visakhapatnam fishing harbour, there was no provision for clean drinking water.
He said fishermen were suffering for want of infrastructure like cold storage, technical know-how and bank finance. Most of the fishermen depend on moneylenders to meet their requirement for boat purchase and repair. The BJP leader strongly opposed the draft coastal zone management and said it was aimed at granting exemption of coastal regulation zone restrictions to the corporates, hotels and big businessmen.
BJP national executive member K. Haribabu, former city presidents Bandaru Rangamohan and T. Subbarami Reddy, city president M. Nagendra, fishing boat owners' association leaders P.Ch. Appa Rao and Ch. Satyanarayana Murthy were present.

One Colorado Survey Aims to Improve LGBT Healthcare
August 15, 2011 by Tony Wagner, Western Regional Field Director
The following post comes from HRC Regional Field Organizer Trevor Chandler:
It comes as no surprise that the LGBT community faces unique and serious challenges in today's healthcare system, and while there have been recent efforts to collect data detailing these issues we remain very much behind where we need to be. Whether it be how knowledgeable your doctor is about LGBT specific health issues or discrimination in the exam room, the more we know about the state of LGBT healthcare the better.
That's why a survey just put out by our partners at One Colorado is so important, this information will have a direct and intimate affect of the lives of LGBT Coloradans allowing them to advocate to policy makers and healthcare professionals on the changes that need to happen now. If you are living in Colorado, please take time to fill this out and help make the Centennial State that much more welcoming and fair.

I recently purchased my first home and wanted to replace the existing countertops. In the master bath the countertop is notched around the door molding and slathered in caulking (attached picture). I am installing these: http://www.homedepot.ca/product/37-inch-w-x-22-inch-d-walnut-cultured-granite-vanity-top-with-wave-bowl/813936. How do I cut this out around the same molding? Or should I cut the molding to the height of the counter and push the counter into the hole? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by musicteacher (My Page) on Thu, Jul 4, 13 at 15:57
I would notch the wood not the countertop. Wood molding is easy to replace and to work with. I don't think regular tools would work on the counter either. |
I've not worked with "cultured granite" before, so I don't know if it's more stone of more resin. ie, do you cut it with a diamond blade or with carbide. And does it cut cleanly, or if you move slowly will you get a bit of melt? Regardless, I'd pull the side casing on the door, install the vanity, then scribe a cutout on the casing to the edge of the countertop. So what musicteacher wrote. Notch the wood, not the countertop. |
- Posted by williamsem (My Page) on Thu, Jul 4, 13 at 20:18
Ok, I know you are purchasing a standard size top. But just in case, have you already measured? It may fit fine. Maybe the current one is 24 in deep. I've seen stranger things in my own home, measuring is free :-) I'd also notch the wood for my own sanity. |
