We are still in the process of developing a workable format. Your participation and feedback has been very helpful! The last meeting where we tried to build a small but very complicated mallet in two hours...maybe not the best way to unwind after work. However we had glimmering moments of discussion, individuals applying their own creative thinking style, and some exposure to new tools. You had better believe the shop was a whir of activity and mechanical noises. For this upcoming meetup we are thinking of dividing the time into three segments. After 15 minutes of chatting and getting to know each other, we will hold a technical discussion, followed by group show and tell, and finally a skills demonstration. The more experienced members will have a sort of public technical discussion about ther current projects, business/client experiences, and present challenges. For an hour after that we will have an open discussion about current projects, past work, and new ambitions. Everyone is encouraged to bring in pieces they have made, works in progress, or clippings from a magazine if you haven't yet made anything - any prop which helps you to share your ideas. The skills demonstration is yet to be determined, waiting on your feedback. I would like to keep it light and simple.
Looking forward to hearing from you~
Enjoyable conversation all. Thanks for starting the group, looking forward to the next meetup.

When I joined DDW in 2010 right about during Diwali, they gave the creative team a brief to come up with gift ideas. Something that they could send to their clients in order to either 'bribe' them, like you mentioned or to simply say 'hey, we're alive & kicking!'
I had something different on my mind. Which is why I suggested we take all that money spent on client gifts (which will in all probability end up in the trash or under a pile of other dusty gifts) that Diwali…

Ok, let me ask this, what do you think made Steve Jobs or Apple great? innovative? superb? Many will say their products, their technology, maybe Alok will also say their packaging, right Alok? even their pursuit of wow or their meticulous ways of working!

Here's a nice IKEA hack from Joachim in Stockholm. The project uses the good old Bjarnum brackets and Jarpen shelves (in oak) topped off with pieces of an IKEA wool carpet. On the very top shelf sits an IKEA Bastis cat bed, which is, I'm guessing, the most coveted spot in the house.

And expanded: There are now 14 categories, for coaches and players, all based on advanced stats rather than the typical criteria. Which tends to be ... nebulous, or whatever the punditry deems important in any given year. These awards come without hardware, but they at least have parameters. Coaching Awards 1. EFFICIENCY KING: Rick Pitino, Louisville He took a Final Four team from 2011-12 that already ranked No. 1 in defensive efficiency -- and made it 14.9 points per 100 possessions better in '12-13. The Cardinals won a national title while finishing No. 1 overall in adjusted efficiency on kenpom.com, and Pitino had the top after-timeout efficiency of any coach in the NCAA tournament (minimum three games played). 2. BIGGEST TURNAROUND (one-year variety): Jim Baron, CanisiusThe Golden Griffins went from 5-25 to 20-14 in Baron's first season, in large part because he brought along his sharpshooting son Billy, who had previously played for pops at Rhode Island. Still, getting a team to improve 23.8 points per 100 possessions -- the largest one-year gain in the nation -- is a remarkable feat. 3. BIGGEST TURNAROUND (two-year variety): Roman Banks, SouthernHe took over one of the nation's worst teams two years ago, and presided over an absurd, 35.1-points-per-100-possessions gain -- and the school's first trip to the NCAA tournament in seven seasons, finishing off with a near-upset of Gonzaga in a 1-16 game. 4. ADJUSTED ATO KING: Mike Krzyzewski, DukeI took Synergy Sports Technology's after-timeout efficiency data, adjusted it for defensive strength of schedule, and Coach K's Blue Devils came out on top, at 1.017 points per possession. In second place was a decidedly less famous name: Eastern Kentucky's Jeff Neubauer, whose Colonels had the best raw ATO PPP of anyone in the nation. 5. BEST NCAA TOURNEY VS. EXPECTATIONS: Gregg Marshall, Wichita State At the outset of the tourney, kenpom.com's log5 projections gave the No. 9 Shockers just a 1.0 percent chance of reaching the Final Four -- even longer than the 2.1 percent odds that No. 15 Florida Gulf Coast was given of reaching the Sweet 16. Marshall's team proceeded to reach Atlanta by blazing the toughest trail of any Final Four team in the past 11 years. 6. BEST OFFENSIVE NCAA TOURNEY (min. four games): Rick Pitino, Louisville I enlisted Crashing the Dance's Andy Cox to calculate Net Efficiency Margins for the Elite Eight teams -- essentially, a measure of how well they played vs. what the average D-I team would be expected to against each opponent. As good as Pitino's Cardinals were defensively all season, they won the NCAA tournament because of the quality of their offense, which was a full 28.5 points per 100 possessions better than an average D-I team's expectations. (Michigan came in second). 7. BEST DEFENSIVE NCAA TOURNEY (min. four games): Jim Boeheim, SyracuseThis race wasn't close. According to Cox's NEM stat, the Orange's tourney defense was more than twice as good as Louisville's, and 34.4 points per 100 possessions better than an average D-I team's expectations. The praise for Boeheim's 2-3 zone during March was entirely justified. Player Awards 1. BEST HIGH-USAGE SCORER (major-conference category): Trey Burke, MichiganBurke had one of the greatest point guard seasons of the past decade, combining high efficiency and high usage while piloting the nation's best offense ... and barely ever coming off the court. He posted a 121.2 offensive rating while using 29.0 percent of the Wolverines' possessions, and played 35.3 minutes per game. 2. BEST HIGH-USAGE SCORER (mid-major category): Nate Wolters, South Dakota StateAmong the reasons Wolters is an attractive second-round pick in the upcoming NBA draft: The 123.5 ORating he posted on 30.3 percent usage, coupled with a high assist rate, compares favorably to the numbers of a few recent mid-major point guards who made the leap to the league (Weber State's Damian Lillard, Hofstra's Charles Jenkins and IUPUI's George Hill). 3. TRANSITION KING: Russ Smith, Louisville Smith, who often saw 1-on-4 breaks as prime rim-attacking opportunities, averaged a nation-high 8.4 transition points per 40 minutes. He and Peyton Siva also served as the primary ball-pressurers in the Cardinals' press, and Smith led the team in turnovers-forced percentage during the NCAAs. 4. TOP ALL-AROUND DEFENDER: Arsalan Kazemi, OregonWhile there's no perfect stat for evaluating overall defensive quality, there are strong numbers supporting Kazemi's case. Last season, while the 6-foot-7 forward was still at Rice, the Ducks ranked 158th in defensive efficiency; this year, with him in their lineup as a senior transfer, they ranked 10th. Kazemi led the nation in defensive rebounding percentage, at 29.0, ranked 52nd in steal percentage, at 4.1, and proved capable of guarding all five positions. 5. GLASS-CLEANER EXTRAORDINAIRE: Jack Cooley, Notre DameThe flat-topped Irish power forward was the closest thing the sport had to a 20-20 rebounder: He finished with an offensive rebounding percentage of 17.4 (quite the feat in the Big East, and the third-highest rate in the nation) and a defensive percentage of 24.0. Michigan's Mitch McGary, judging by his NCAA tournament performance, may be ready to inherit this crown in '13-14. 6. RUTHLESS RIM PROTECTOR: Jeff Withey, KansasThe 7-footer ranked fifth nationally in block percentage, at 13.7, but that doesn't tell the whole story. His presence in the paint helped KU lead the nation in two-point field goal percentage defense (39.3) and, according to hoop-math.com's data, hold opponents to the nation's lowest at-the-rim shooting percentage (52) as well. 7. THE ONE-NOTE SCORER: Ethan Wragge, CreightonHow one-dimensional was Wragge in '12-13? So much that 93.6 percent of his shot attempts (175 of 187) were from beyond the arc, making him the most three-point focused role player in the nation. It's an excellent role for him, though: He made 44.6 percent of those treys, and was the most efficient scorer in the Valley's best offense. Promoted Stories Comments More College Basketball

Most fault GOP for shutdown in new WSJ/NBC poll |
| Print | |
Thursday, October 10, 2013 |
The Wall Street Journal: The government shutdown has eroded public support for Republicans more than Democrats and most think the showdown is not in the best interest of the country., according to a recent Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll. The poll of 800 Americans found scant confidence that President Barack Obama and Republicans in Congress can find a way out of the morass, with nearly eight in 10 saying the country was on the wrong track—the highest number since the worst of the recession in 2008. At a time of weak confidence in the economic recovery, the government impasse in Washington has delivered an unusually sharp blow to public faith in the elected leaders and their stewardship over the economy, the poll found. |

What I'm learning from two red balloons stuck in the tree outside my window. What else can I learn?
Here are some pictures for reference.
This past weekend, a realtor held an open house at my neighbor's condominium. To advertise, she attached two red balloons to her realtor sign in the walkway in front of our building. When the open house was finished, she removed the balloons from the sign, and either accidentally let them go, or purposefully released them. Now they're stuck in the tree outside my third story balcony in perfect view from every window in my home.
I like to leave my window shades open, so I can take advantage of the great natural light they provide. It's one of the major reasons I selected this place to live. There is a forest across the way, and the sun sets behind it. The sunsets are glorious, and I have a great view of them from the large glass sliding doors that cover the entire wall of my living room. Now, I have a view of two entangled red balloons, right in the middle of it all.
My first thoughts were, Great! Now I'm going to have to watch these damn balloons slowly rot away, looking like crap, probably for years until they're ever completely gone. Yet, I do not want that kind of thinking to take hold. It could make for a long-lasting bitterness that ruins my view for as long as they're there.
Here are some things I've learned so far from these two red balloons. Is there anything else I could learn?
Nothing is perfect. Desiring perfection leads to dukkha.
Some problems can be solved, and some have no obvious solution. (I e-mailed the realtor, partially to vent my frustration, partially to see if they could remove them. It doesn't seem like it's possible within reasonable expectations.)
Be nice to people when you ask if they can correct their mistakes. (My e-mail was pretty polite, and the realtor responded politely, with a nice apology and promise to try to remove them. She could have been nasty even despite my politeness, but either way, it still felt better to be polite. I learned as much from her polite response, as I did from my polite request.)
No matter how much I don't want to be disturbed by their presence, my initial reaction was one of displeasure. I want that feeling to go away, but it still pops up every time I catch a glimpse of the balloons. I'm learning to go easy on myself, while I walk the path toward acceptance.
Red balloons can look pretty photographed amid bare branches.
I have looked at the same view for several years. It changes with the seasons. The balloons are another reminder to look at things as they are in the present moment. They're like a chime or gong rung during meditation.
Everything changes. One balloon has already popped, the other is a bit deflated. Soon they will both be dangling from their tangled red ribbons. Who knows what the future will bring? Maybe they will leave before my expectations. Maybe I will miss them when they're gone.
Edit: spelling

What color is this dress? and emptiness.
So this has been blowing up on the Internet since yesterday:
And I think it's pretty interesting how so many people are freaking out about it. And I think that sheds a bit of light into emptiness vs. how we normally view reality.
The common view is that the photo exists in the real world, and therefore has to have inherent qualities, like color. The photo has to be a particular color, the dress in the photo has true particular colors, etc. So when half of people see the photo and see a blue/black dress and another half of people see the photo and see a white/gold dress - something breaks in how we normally view the world. They need to find the dress to know what color it really is, that there has to be some existing inherent quality there because the real world is real.
Emptiness is in direct conflict with this worldview, and the photo presents that really clearly. The dress (and photo) do not have any inherent color -- it's entirely up to how we perceive the dress/photo. That lets it appear to some of us as white/gold and to others as blue/black. It's entirely up to our perception, and that's uncomfortable to many people. But that's what emptiness is all about.

What is the Buddhist viewpoint on ignorance?
Not personal ignorance (even though it is my ignorance that has lead me to this) but ignorance of others? How can I learn tolerance to not think someone should be any other way then they are, even if they live in ignorance?

Awareness of Short Term Memory (or is it Becoming)?
Yesterday, I read an article that – for lack of a better term – triggered my anxiety about terror attacks. Boarding the subway uptown, I brought a copy of Ajahn Sumedho's The Way It Is. On the way back, I read the chapter on Kamma and Rebirth, and how every moment there is a birth – how we get bored of watching the television and then we go to eat something, and then we get bored of that and then we go for a run, and so it goes.
I had, and continue to have, an awareness of what seems like short term memory. As in, I am looking at something – there is a sort of subtle "urge" or "pulse" where the awareness that was there immediately before ceases to be and a new awareness takes it place. Then after about six seconds, that awareness gets drawn into the next pulse. Each one is distinct from the other. Of course, it's very hard to explain, as it's very subtle and it's a new experience.
But this is a very curious insight that appears to tie into the stream of dependent origination as birth or becoming or something else. Have others experienced this before?

What is a good non-biased website to study Buddhism.
There are so many forms that Buddhism takes on. Some have become cults of personality where they chant dear great master and sing praises for 15 minutes before latching onto every word the "Enlightened One" speaks. So many Buddhists have simply become followers of cults of personality.
Where can I go to find the authentic teachings that are not funded by branches that have degraded into institutionalized religion.
All too often there is a hidden agenda behind a website so where does one go to find the unbiased teachings. I am just starting to seriously study Buddhism so a source that is easy to understand would be ideal.
Thank you

UNBELIEVABLY lucky, coincidental and serendipitous day yesterday
Let me preface this by saying I don't know a whole lot about buddhism.
I am an agnostic. Spirituality, to me, comes from within your subconscious mind - if you think about what you're going to accomplish and visualize that goal, your brain will work on it harder and it will happen. For example, if you tried to swish a basketball from the 3 point line quickly, you'll probably miss. But if you visualize how the ball will travel into the net as you throw it and take your time and concentrate, there's a much better chance that it will happen.
Like I said, I am an agnostic but I like to take the good parts of every religion and incorporate them into my own life. But yesterday was just too good to be true.
Every single thing seemed to fall right into place, each puzzle piece perfectly oriented and positioned in the puzzle. There were too many to count, but I remember one in specific - when I got on the bus, my friend I just made gave me 3 bucks because I needed to borrow it to get to the next city up.
Then I found $3 in my back pocket that I knew I had at some point but lost track of. I tried to give it to the guy who loaned me the money but he said to just keep it.
Oh, and there was a big sign in red on a street only 2 turns away from mine called LYLE NAILS. Which is interesting because I just got a manicure/pedicure at a place in Boulder.
Also, I had never seen my name on a sign ANYWHERE.
Also, it was relevant to me because earlier in my life my band wouldn't let me paint my nails on stage, which fucking sucked but I'm past it now.
I have bipolar, so I had to stop myself from getting paranoid, but I'm pretty good at noticing that now, so it worked out and I'm gonna go check out the nail place today.
What is this? Where does it come from? And why did I have so many on the same day? My answer would be a scientific approach to manifestation - your subconscious helping your conscious mind by remembering important information and what not. I've been feeling happy, confident, excited, motivated, ambitious, slightly risk-taking, adventurous , and everything else that comes with genuine happiness. Is this just what life is like when you're happy? I don't think so, because I've been happy for about 2 months and this is the first day that REALLY stood out to me.
But I wanna know the view of people on here. Please someone tell me what's going on!

How do we know samsara really exists?
If samsara has no beginning, how has everything not already happened including all of us becoming enlightened? Given the infinite monkey theorem and no beginning to the universe, every being should have reached nirvana. Also has there always been an imbalance in karma? Because if no one deserved anything karmically, how could anything have happened to anyone?

My girlfriend and I disagree about our different beliefs need advice
A little bit of back story for me; i have been studying and following Buddhism for the last ~4 years and have been dating my girlfriend for about the same time (~3.5 years) and for the first two years of our relationship she would read books on Darma/meditation/etc. and she would meditate with me. Recently for about the last 6 months she has started to get into seeking answers that are not addressed in Buddhism such as a creator and the creation of life and the universe and all of that. She now regularly attends a Jahova's Witness bible study (she doesnt believe in Jahova's Witness-ism but enjoys their take on the bible). But ever since she started attending these bible studies she has made me feel so terrible about my beliefs, she belittles Buddhism to make it sound like its just a pointless philosophy, then after she makes me feel bad about not necessarily believing in a creator (I don't rule it out but i don't necessarily believe in one) she attempts to make me feel like my life will be potentially incomplete if I don't seek out the answers of a creator. The reason i decided to finally post this is because I just got off of the phone with her and had an intense talk about this exact stuff and just felt down on myself and just thought i really needed advice from like minded people as to what i should do/say/think/etc. I love her dearly and we have really no other problems besides this, we actually get along and live in harmony quite well besides this whole calamity of an ordeal. Please lend me your guys input and advice. Thank you, Om mani pedme hum

Anger over emotional cheating / disrespect
The back-story here is long, so let me reduce it as simply as possible: my current girlfriend has/had an emotional dependence on one of my close friends. This manifested the following things: (A) though they were past casual sex partners before I came into the picture, they did have sex again after I had made it clear to her that I would be uncomfortable with her hooking up with my friend again, and my friend did already know I was essentially infatuated with her and had sex with her anyway, (B) she confided in him a lot of private details well into our relationship, including hinting she wanted him in a bedroom threesome scenario, (C) I found this out during a period when she locked me out emotionally and was messaging him a lot online -- I pulled a subset of their conversations and learned A/B.
This hurt deeply. All parties agree at this point that it was disrespectful to me, it was predictable it was going to hurt me, and my own girlfriend has just recently come to admit she knows she has a dependence on my friend that becomes unhealthy at times (it's hard to explain, but it is a third-party confirmed need for validation from him).
I made up with him shortly after, but the weaker insecure parts of myself mounted against me, armed with the very real reality that my girlfriend is dependent on my friend, and the "analytical perspective" that unhealthy conversations (or drunken activity?) could happen again. The worst part in accepting the weakness of others is to know it can happen again and their weakness can hurt me -- this is one of several blocking points for me.
I regressed and withdrew. I no longer spoke with my friend, and left our mutual friend circle. They did not like this, and my girlfriend was a part of it, so manifested pressure on me to resolve it. I did. I lashed out (via email!) at my friend, detailing his prior moral misgivings (he's facilitated cheating in the past), and in the most hurtful way possible, explained he and my girlfriend were weak and I have no desire to re-initiate friendship, but would remain amicable in social situations.
That's kinda where I am still at. Less pain/hurt, but people pry on me to re-initiate friendship and I embody the aggressive, quick-thinking, overly-analytical guy that sees nothing to gain in friendship with him. I become something of a narcissist, seeing the weakness in others and putting myself above them when they seek the higher ground of "just get over it" (granted, in their own reasonably positive ways). I am well-armed in that I am a pretty good guy -- I had even asked my friend before every hooking up with his casual sex partner (my now-girlfriend) if it was ok with him. I have a wonderful mountain to defend from.
Naturally, this is more complex than I make it out to be -- it may be colored by some innate resentment toward him (he's a good looking guy and can embed deep emotional hooks in women -- the kind of guy competitive males love to hate). We've presumably been "best friends", which I seem to not waiver on when describing my past relationship with him. I have over-idealized women in the past and been hurt by an irrational perspective on them and my own nice guy delusions. I am still finding my place in this world, and have the usual spotty childhood/teenagehood.
The thing is this: I have compartmentalized the problem to the degree that it does not needlessly hurt anymore. I stick to my contract that I will not make it uncomfortable for anyone in social circumstances, though it is an elephant in the room. I move to intercept the darker sides of me that try to respond when I am pressured by anyone to any degree to re-initiate the friendship. My best strategy is to defer with a "oh, yes, I see and accept your perspective" I'm-ok-you're-ok kind of vibe.
But, I can move no further. I do not want my friend in actual physical proximity to my girlfriend. I could almost hang out with him 1 on 1, but to think about mixing them together activates pain, followed by an aggressive form of myself that has impenetrable rationalizations to keep him away. To know her weakness (and his own passive acceptance of her weakness and facilitating it in the past) is to guard her from the thing that I suspect would be her undoing (him). He's genetically superior to me (insecurity), has the deep emotional hooks established that she's only just now undoing (more insecurity), and needs the sexual validation of women (passive, but perceived motive to do it again). The cold-hearted warrior in my head says he's best left in my past -- and in doing so, I protect the part of me that hurts the most at the thought of what happened.
The thought game of letting them together again as friends extends another interesting direction: if it happened again, I am really afraid of what it'd do to my psyche. It is part fear of it happening again (i.e. fundamental distrust), and part not wanting to be the naive boy-like figure I was before (I blame myself partly for not seeing this was going to happen, and not being quicker to embody the part of me that is willing to call people out on things that bother me -- i.e. her dependence on him).
I can comprehend the strategies laid out to forgive, but as I continue to receive social pressure to forgive, I cannot really do it. I cannot tell if the sometimes seemingly wise voice in me that wants to keep these two people apart is driven by the depths of unhealthy insecurity, or of real, sound advice.
It seems to reduce to this: as I learn to control my emotional being and choose to embody certain versions of myself that seem healthier, is it so wrong to compartmentalize my ex-friend away, knowing that in time the pain may fade? To put him in a holding pattern with no real decision as to the fate of our past relationship? To choose not to confront that part of me that's almost child-like and is the one that feels the deep betrayal / hurt / pain?
I can willingly embody the part of me that sees the grand perspective and how little this matters, but I cannot hold on to this. The other parts of me have excellent analytical skills to rationalize away this feel-good facade. The wise warrior tells me to protect myself from the potential for more pain, and to live the relatively happy life where I am in love with her. The happy life where I don't have to see my old friend. To see him and my girlfriend joking together or reminiscing about old times. To pick a reality that brings less pain and positively appease those who seek to draw me out of it with soothing words, but avoid coming back into contact with our mutual friend I've cast out.
I feel intuitively I will come to a place where it does not hurt anymore. It will sink on that the reality of the world is that we do hurt each other, and sometimes it's going to manifest as sex between two people, or sexual conversations between them (sort of how the insecure social-development-lagged nerd I once was found insecurity in the idea that women could lust after <insert pop star who isn't you here>, or the even more deluded reality where you can't cope with the ex-boyfriends your girlfriend had, trapped in the insecurity of wondering if you satisfy her well enough -- things I am semi-familiar with). I just don't know if it is wrong of me not to take up the old sword and shield of personal development and rebuild our friendship as my friends/girlfriend suggest I should. I feel like I don't owe that to anyone, including myself. I do not know if I am wrong.
Sorry, clearly super confusing for me, but hopefully this is coherent. Thanks for any perspectives.

Best way to handle exes?
So GF breaks up with me, says some very hurtful things. We were both at fault I won't try to act like it was all her, probably 50/50. Breaks my heart, but says she still wants to be friends. What would be the best way to approach this using a Buddhist perspective?
Put my own thoughts aside and appease her with friendship? Cut her out and wish her the best and move on? Other option...?
I try to be the best person I can be, so the thought of cutting her out, while at the moment sounds great, doesn't feel right. But giving her what she wants (friendship) when it's not what I want (relationship back) just seems like it would lead to more heartbreak. Any thoughts, comments, questions are all greatly appreciated. Thanks!

13 yrs old, interested in Buddhism with hardcore Christian parents. NEED HELP.
TL;DR: 13 and want to go to a Buddhist temple. Have hardcore Christian parents that don't know. Unsure of what to do.
Hello, I am currently 13 and have always been very interested in Buddhism. I remember when I was little, whenever I saw pictures of Buddha I would point to them and say "daddy I want to be in that religion". He would always so NO, we believe in God, and any talk of other religions would end immediately. On the topic of parents: My parents take me to an orthodox church every Saturday and Sunday averaging about 3 hours per week. They have no idea I don't believe in God and that I am interested in Buddhism, and I do not plan on telling them. So here's the dilemma; I am interested in going to a Theravada Buddhist temple near my house, however I am very nervous. I have been researching Buddhism thoroughly for about a week now and I really want to see what it's really like. They have a website and it says they have monks and nuns frequently visit there to do meditation sessions and such. My concerns are: a) It's Viatnamese so they won't understand me b) People might tell me to go away because they think I am a trouble maker c) I'm shy when it comes to new people so I would have a hard time explaining why I'm there d) They will tell me to go away because I do not have my parents with me
So what should I do? Should I just wait until I am older? Should I take my chances and go? Or should I do something else entirely? Any and all feedback is appreciated.
EDIT: Thank you SOO much everyone for the feedback. I will consider every bit of it and try to put it into use.

I'm having trouble keeping up the habit of meditation. Advice?
I've been Buddhist for a while now and I really enjoy meditation. I have gone on a couple of walking meditations which were fantastic and really suited me but are very time consuming. I try to meditate every morning before school but I just fall asleep when my alarm goes off. Side note not related to meditation really but having issues with smoking also which I think gets in the way of my practice.

Tips for taking my meditation and spiritual practice less seriously?
I realize some people don't take it seriously enough, but it seems to weigh too heavily on me. Especially because I have a lot of repressed pain. What are some tips to put it into perspective, so that I can enjoy it more? Would hate (oh noes aversion, you get my point now? :P) to maintain a bad relationship with my practice.

MLB: Josh Hamilton's wife calls security during Rangers return
'Inappropriate' comments by Texas fans near ex-Ranger's family spark concern.

ARLINGTON, TEXAS—Katie Hamilton, the wife of Angels right fielder Josh Hamilton, was forced to call stadium security because of fan abuse Friday during the Texas Rangers' home opener.
The former Rangers all-star said his wife and kids remained in their seats the entire game, with a security guard present throughout.
"It's cool to get ragged on about normal things," the slugger said, "but when you get a little swearing and jawing back at Katie, and saying inappropriate things, it's a little different story.
"They were saying personal stuff, stuff that was inappropriate with kids around. It's a good lesson for the kids, just about people in general, and not putting faith in them, but the man upstairs."
Hamilton, in his first game since leaving the Rangers and signing a five-year, $125 million contract with the Angels, was vociferously booed and taunted by the sellout crowd. Hamilton conceded that he was upset by the taunts, but grateful that they didn't appear to upset his kids.
"It was cool. They weren't upset when they got home," Hamilton said. "They kissed me and hugged me and brought friends over. They played on a trampoline and I jumped on the trampoline with them. It was just like any other game coming home, and I was treating it like that."

Righthanded 22 yr old (Aug 17 bday) pitcher was a 4th round pick out of Cal Irvine.
First 2 yrs in college uneventful...27gm 4st 2w 2L 37.2IP 50h 35er 8.36ERA 38k 23bb
Jr yr took off...15gm all starts 10-2 2CG SHO 103.2 IP 64h 20er 1.74ERA 90k 30bb
Spent first pro yr @ ELIZ all out of pen 20gm 20.2IP 11h 2er .87 ERA 36k 5bb
Assigned to Beloit, he struggled in April....5gm 4st 1w 2L 20.1 IP 20h 15er 6.64ERA 13k 10bb
Next 13 starts have been great 7w 2L 1CGSHO 82.2 IP 74h 26er 2.83ERA 54k 23bb
Averaging 6.1 IP per start since May 1....looks like he could be one of organizations best pitching prospects
Would like to see more strikeouts 5.87/9innings
Posted 29 July 2012 - 08:17 PM
When promoted to FtMyers...he had 19 gm 18 st 109IP 103h .249BAA 3.55ERA (2.84 after first 5gm 4st) 71k 34bb
First 3 starts for Miracle....all went 5IP....so 15IP 19h .310BAA 3.60ERA 9l 6bb
Best guess is that with 124IP, the Twins will monitor his innings over Aug to keep him around 150IP (5 more starts of 5IP w/30gms left??)

Kate Moss at Book Signing in London | Pictures
Kate Moss Toasts to Her Book Launch in Leopard and Gold
Kate Moss looked sleek and stylish while celebrating her book launch in London yesterday. First, she matched husband Jamie Hince in an all-black ensemble for lunch at The Wolseley, and then she slipped into a leopard-print Marc Jacobs number to sign copies of Kate: The Kate Moss Book at Bookmarc that evening. The model sported another Marc Jacobs creation, this time in gold, for the publication's big afterparty, which brought out celebrity pals like Stella McCartney, Donna Karan, and Boy George. The 350-page tome follows Kate's illustrious 25-year modeling career and features some of her most famous photographs. One of them, a black-and-white photo from Kate's first shoot in 1988, was unveiled recently and is set to go up for auction in London next week.

Smile Brilliant Review
/Smile Brilliant is a total DIY, at-home, teeth whitening kit. The Tray Creation Kit has everything you need to get started. You create the molds yourself (which was super easy, btw), send the molds in to Smile Brilliant where the professionals create your clear whitening trays. They ship them back to you within a week and you're ready to go!
The Desensitizing Gel is used before the Whitening Gel to minimize the sensitivity. I used the Desensitizing Gel for 30 minutes to an hour before whitening and I still experienced some major sensitivity. If you normally have pretty sensitive teeth (I don't), I would not recommend using this product. I also want to disclose that I experienced some gum irritation an inflammation due to not wiping off the excess gel around my gums during the whitening process. The Whitening Gel is serious stuff and you will see results after only a few treatments so definitely make sure to wipe off any excess gel around the gum line!
If you're looking for a new and effective way to whiten your teeth, give Smile Brilliant a try! It's much more affordable than having it done at the dentist and the results will not disappoint!
*Thank you to Smile Brilliant for sponsoring this post

Governor Signs Ed Reform Bill
Updated: Monday, June 3 2013, 12:11 PM CDT
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- Gov. Terry Branstad has signed an education reform bill into law at a Des Moines high school.
Branstad chose the stage at the Des Moines North High School auditorium as the location of the bill signing.
The education plan approved by the Legislature includes more basic school funding for the next two academic years, as well as increased money for districts that adopt a program to raise minimum teacher pay and offer leadership incentives. A task force will review teacher evaluations and some restrictions on home-schooling will be lifted.
Branstad made education reforms a priority of the legislative session, arguing that Iowa's public school system has gradually fallen from among the best in the nation to middle of the pack due to years of complacency.

US Department of Energy grants Pangea LNG Project permission to export LNG from its South Texas LNG Project, Corpus Christi Bay.
The U.S. Department of Energy has granted Pangea long-term, multi-contract authorization to export liquefied natural gas (LNG) to free trade agreement (FTA) nations.
Pangea LNG will be authorized to export up to 8 million metric tons per annum (mtpa) of LNG produced from domestic gas fields for a 25-year term commencing on the date of its first export. That amount is equal to 1.09 Bcf/day of natural gas. Pangea LNG has also filed an application with DOE requesting authorization to export LNG to any country with which the U.S. does not have a free trade agreement in effect. That application, which was filed in December, is pending. "Approval by the US DOE is a positive step forward for this project, which represents a significant investment in the development of the LNG market in the U.S.," said John Godbold , Pangea LNG project director. "Exporting LNG will help stabilize U.S. natural gas prices, grow and sustain drilling and production jobs, and stimulate additional investment in developing the country's gas reserves." DOE approval of FTA authorization is part of the regulatory process necessary to develop Pangea LNG's new LNG export terminal on a 550-acre site. The site is located on the 45-foot deep La Quinta Ship Channel which is part of the Port of Corpus Christi, the sixth busiest U.S. seaport in terms of tonnage. The South Texas LNG Project is subject to federal, state and local regulatory approvals with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) acting as the lead federal agency. Pangea will begin the FERC pre-filing process by the second quarter of 2013 and expects the project to be in operation by at least 2018.

Randy Jackson Reacts to L.A. Reid's 'X Factor' Exit: 'What? No!'
"He's got two amazingly tough jobs," the "American Idol" judge tells THR.
Word of L.A. Reid's exit from X Factor came as a shock to many viewers of the Fox show. Among them: Randy Jackson.
The Hollywood Reporter broke the news to the American Idol judge on Thursday afternoon, who responded with his trademark, "What?! No!" Jackson said that Reid, the chairman of Epic Records, is a "dear friend." And as a music-maker himself, he sympathizes with his fellow judge in understanding the difficult position of being a TV star and running a major music company. "He's got two amazingly tough jobs," said Jackson adding, "I can't even imagine."
Reid made it official on Thursday evening, announcing that he would not return for a third season of X Factor (Fox has already green-lit the 2013 run) and was "looking forward to getting back to my core business and the responsibility of running Epic Records." The Sony Music label is home to Ciara, Avril Lavigne, The Script and Fiona Apple, who recently scored a Grammy nomination, among other artists.
Jackson seemed genuinely surprised, and maybe even a little disappointed, to hear that his pal -- who orchestrated Mariah Carey's massive comeback in 2005 (she being Jackson's management client and Idol panel-mate) -- would no longer be seen on his TV Wednesday and Thursday nights. "He was great -- he's gotta come back," said Jackson. "I gotta call him."
