"The trucks full of paperwork come every day," wrote the Washington Post in March, down a country road in Boyers, Pa., north of Pittsburgh, and descend "into the earth" to deliver federal retiree applications to the eight "supermarket"-sized caverns 230 feet below ground where Office of Personnel Management (OPM) bureaucrats process them — manually — and store them in 28,000 metal filing cabinets. Applications thus take 61 days on average to process (compared with Texas' automated system, which takes two). One step requires a record's index to be digitized — but a later step requires that the digital portion be printed out and filed. OPM blames contractors' technology failures and bizarrely complicated retirement laws, but no relief is in sight. (Fortunately, cave-bound paper-shuffling is a well-regarded job around Boyers.)
Democracy blues
Rep. Robert Andrews, D-N.J., announced his retirement in February, after 23 years, and in "tribute," the Washington Post suggested he might be the least successful lawmaker of the past two decades, in that he had sponsored a total of 646 pieces of legislation — more than any of his contemporaries — but that not a single one became law. He has not passed even the easiest of bills — to name a post office or a courthouse.
The Internal Revenue Service reportedly hit the estate of Michael Jackson recently with a federal income tax bill of $702 million because of undervaluing properties that it owned — including a valuation on the Jackson-owned catalog of Beatles songs at "zero." The estate reckoned that Jackson was worth a total of $7 million upon his death in 2009, but the IRS placed the number at $1.125 billion. (In 2012 alone, according to Forbes magazine, Jackson earned more than any other celebrity, living or dead, at about $160 million.)
News of the self-indulgent
Plastic surgeons have performed beard implants before, but only for men with facial scarring or for female-to-male transgenders. Recently, New York City surgeons report an uptick in business by men solely to achieve the proper aesthetic look. According to the website DNAinfo, the procedure is the same as for hair transplants — and takes eight hours to do, at a cost of about $7,000. Said Dr. Jeffrey Epstein, "Whether you're talking about the Brooklyn hipster or the advertising executive, the look is definitely to have a bit of facial hair."

I am old enough to remember Chuck Wagner and his father, who I first met at Caymus in the late seventies. This is clearly one of Napa Valleys iconic wineries, as well as one that, amazingly, never went through a bad patch. Obviously, no matter which generation is in the drivers seat (or should I say tractors seat), Caymus Vineyard knows how to deliver flavor and deliciousness. They appear to be immune to some of winedoms less than intelligent trends and fads that we see from time to time, and the result is a spectacular 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon 40th Anniversary offering. Its dense purple/black color is followed by copious quantities of crème de cassis and blackberry fruit, silky tannins, a voluptuous texture and stunning purity as well as length. This full-bodied effort is a fabulous example of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon as well as a tribute to this amazing family. It is so good now, why wait? However, Im sure that like most vintages of Caymus, it will last for 20-25 years. Amazing! (10/ 2014)
Lavishly oaked, with creamy mocha, vanilla, cedar and anise notes at the edge of a rich core of dark berry, plum and black licorice flavors. Tight, focused and persistent, showing a seductive character. Drink now through 2026. (11/ 2014)
With a special bottle and label for their 40th Anniversary Cabernet Sauvignon, Caymus is ready to celebrate this epic 2012 vintage. Charlie and Lorna Wagner with their son Chuck began this now iconic Napa Valley winery in 1972. Chuck is now the owner and winemaker, and has this to offer: "This wine exemplifies our style of Cabernet out of a great vintage: deep color, rich, concentrated and balanced. 2012 celebrates 40 years of producing our pride and joy, Caymus Vineyards Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon."
Below is a listing of the wine review scores we frequently reference in our notes. While these sources remain an excellent source of information, we always recommend that you trust your own palate.

Patrick Benson's exquisite illustrations give enormous charm to this story about the big questions of life. Wandering too far from home, a little boy meets Lostlet, Strangelet and Oddlet, three unusual creatures each in search of something, but they are not sure what. Posing their questions and pooling their responses, the creatures and the boy come to realise that the answers to all lies in love. Benson's understated text and spare illustrations deliver a satisfyingly uncloying resolution.

Due to symmetry, if angle ACE is 30 degrees, then triangle AGC is equilateral.
If we use the corners of the square as circle centres, with radius "x",
and using the fact that the angle at the centre of a circle is twice the angle at the circumference
for angles standing on a common arc,
then it follows that if angle ACE is 30, then the angles ADE and AED are 15 degrees.
Triangle AGC is equilateral as all sides are R.
The angles of AGC are all , so


text: #2435: PCRE-7.6 ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Reporter: randy at linuxfromscratch.org | Owner: blfs-book at linuxfromscratch.org Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 6.3 Component: BOOK | Version: SVN Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Comment (by Ag.Hatzim): Glib can use the system pcre instead of its internal pcre. But in order to do that it needs both unicode related switches to be enabled during pcre configuration/installation: {{{ --enable-utf8 --enable-unicode-properties }}} Another important thing to mention is that its possible for pcregrep to read compressed files (.gz and .bz2) by using zlib and bz2 libraries (both are present in a base LFS system therefore there is no need for additional dependencies). To add this kind of support two configure switches needed: {{{ --enable-pcregrep-libz --enable-pcregrep-libbz2 }}} Another Note: Pcre now can be built using Cmake. And a last one. Pcre versions prior to 7.6 are vulnerable because of a buffer overflow problem when run in UTF-8 mode. Many distributions using the pcre library (glib, zsh, and Python at least). Of all of these three, glib and Python needed to upgraded to newer versions because of the vulnerability, and that's because both of them are using an internal (old) pcre. -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/ticket/2435#comment:3> BLFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs> Beyond Linux From Scratch

Feeling Tuned Out? 9 Reasons Why Men Don't Listen
Improve Your Relationship With These Talking Tips

5 Stunning Centerpiece Ideas for Special Occasions
When you're sharing your day or a genuine crisis, is your man's response, "What's that, honey?" Yelling at him won't help him be a better listener. But these talking tips from relationship experts will...
You have so much to share with your man – from your boss's latest passive-aggressive move to the funny things your girlfriend said. But your partner's eyes desperately dart from your face to the game on TV.
He's just not listening.
Let's face it. We expect our partners to listen like girlfriends do.
But that's never going to happen. Not because men don't want to, but because they respond to different cues than women are programmed to provide.
"Seemingly senseless misunderstandings … can in part be explained by the different conversational rules by which men and women play," Georgetown linguistics professor and communication specialist Deborah Tannen points out in her article, "Can't We Talk?"
"Learning about different conversational frequencies [between the genders] can banish blame and help us truly talk to one another," she says.
How do we do that? By learning a few simple talking tips to bridge that gender gap.
Here's how to talk to men and really get them to hear you.
Why men don't listen reason #1: You expect him to agree with you.
When you started dating, your guy
a great listener. But then came that day he sided with your boss… and you tore him to bits.
That's because women think that agreement is a show of support, while men often like to play devil's advocate.
If he thinks you just want him to agree, he won't have any incentive to listen. Nobody likes suppressing their honest opinions or feeling compelled to agree with someone they think is wrong.
Relationship do:
Create a safe space for conversation, says Laurie Puhn, a couples mediator, lawyer and best-selling author of
Fight Less, Love More
(Rodale Books).
Tell your partner you want to hear what he thinks – and that you'll listen this time without criticism.
Accept that sometimes, you just won't share the same opinion. And because it may not come naturally to him, let him know that there are other times – like after a fight with your boss – when you really just want to know he's on your side.
Then do it. If you find yourself biting your tongue or wanting to argue, fight the urge.
Also, focus on what your man's opinion reveals about him, says
Alison Armstrong
, founder of PAX Programs, an educational forum for gender communication that helps women better understand and relate to men.
If you listen this way, you'll hear what's behind that opinion – like his commitments, passions, integrity and dreams, she says.
Why men don't listen reason #2: You get bogged down in the details.
Women often feel that sharing every detail of a story is a way of building intimacy, of helping your man understand what you're going through.
In reality, he's more interested in getting to the point.
From a man's perspective, women provide too many details, Puhn says. He's more interested in getting to the point.
You might be five minutes into a story before you ask him a relevant question. For some men, that's too long.
Relationship do:
Remember that he
interested in how you feel and what you have to say – but since you're coming to him for advice, he cares more about how to help you solve the problem than he does about hearing every detail of it.
If you notice him growing impatient, try keeping your comments clear and direct, focusing on the essential points, says Robert Leahy, Ph.D., clinical psychologist and author of dozens of books, including
The Worry Cure
Ask your question first.
Then, share the facts – limiting your story to two or three minutes. Pause, ask for his thoughts, and wait.
Changing your conversation style takes discipline, Puhn says. But this way, you won't lose him to the swirling pool of TMI (too much information).
Why men don't listen reason #3: You're trying too hard to impress him.
He's impressed. He must be: He's with you.
But feminism did something strange to love and dating: It got women talking about the stuff we do, says Donna Sozio, co-author of
The Man Whisperer
(Adams Media).
Men spend their whole lives jockeying with other guys for status and respect. He doesn't want to have to compete with you too.
So let him know when things are going well, but try not to brag too much about your new Mercedes or finishing your first Iron Man triathlon.
"It's impressive ... but it's not getting us love," she says, adding that men are programmed to woo us with
accomplishments, not the other way around.
Men need to feel like they're providing, she says, adding that they fall in love with our quirks – not our trophy wall.
And while lots of men are proud of their high-achieving partners, others are still intimidated by an accomplished woman.
Relationship do:
Do what you do. Stay your amazing self.
And at home, make sure you let him know you think he's amazing too.
"You can be masculine in the office," Sozio says. "But in a romantic situation,
the feminine energy and have him protect you."
Why men don't listen reason #4: He's doing something else.
He's watching the game or trying to finish an email.
But you need advice or an answer to a question, and he can multi-task, right?
Not always.
Relationship do:
Be patient. If you prompt him, you'll interrupt his thought process – and you might end up getting little, if any, communication, Armstrong says.
Make sure he's ready to listen before you start talking, Armstrong says.
If he's watching the game or trying to get to sleep, ask yourself if you really need to talk right then.
Men aren't as good at verbal multitasking as women are – and there are times when he wants to keep his mental focus on something else.
To find out, ask him: "Is this a good time to ask a question?"
If he says no, don't take it personally. Just try again later.
If you have a serious question, he might need time to think about his response. Ask your question and give him space. Then come back later.
Why men don't listen reason #5: You forget to use your "pause" button.
You have a lot to say about everything - the movie that won Best Picture, your son's day-care teacher, your husband's clothing choices and his mother.
You may think you need to get it all out "so everything is heard, or you fear your partner will jump in and take the floor" forever, says Leahy.
While men view conversation as a means to an end, some women (not all) just like to talk, and can go on and on without pausing.
Instead, many men will just shut down.
Relationship do:
Remember that a conversation goes two ways.
Slow down, edit yourself and ask for feedback.
If you want your partner's help solving a problem, be direct.
Ask questions, and give him a chance to contribute, says Leahy, or he'll start tuning you out.
Why men don't listen reason #6: Your emotions are running high.
Your girlfriend made you angry today. You know she means well, but how could she think that was the right thing to do?
To you, it's venting. You want him to listen, nod his head, give you a hug and make you feel better.
To him, it's scary. He doesn't know how to calm you down or give you advice. He can barely even follow your train of thought.
"It's scientifically proven that when men get emotionally aroused, their pulse rates go up," Leahy says.
Their responses might make you angry: Some men think listening to a rant means validating what they perceive as whining.
Or they'll rush to solve the problem just so the conversation can end, he adds.
Relationship do:
Before he shuts down or offers solutions you don't want to hear, let him know you appreciate having his ear.
Men naturally respond to problems by trying to fix them, so if all you want is for him to listen, let him know.
Your tirade probably isn't fun for him, but he
listening. So remember to thank him for caring enough to hear and support you, Leahy says.
And then, maybe switch to a lighter subject.
Why men don't listen reason #7: You expect him to be interested in everything you're interested in.
He's into beer, fantasy football and classic rock. You're rambling on about wine, "Dancing With the Stars" and Lady Gaga. He yawns and doesn't bother to suppress it.
Relationship do:
Embrace your differences. Strong relationships happen between people with different interests.
It's OK if he's not interested in every aspect of your life.
You're not the same person, and you can't expect to share everything, Puhn says.
Why men don't listen reason #8: He can't keep up.
You start out talking about one thing, and it reminds you of something else, so you launch into that topic, then another and so on.
Along the way, you've lost your guy. For him, it's like tracking a mouse in a maze – unnerving and exhausting.
Relationship do:
Stop "tangent talking," Puhn recommends. Stick to one topic at a time.
"Men's brains tend to be single-focused," Armstrong explains.
For them, almost everything is an interruption.
When talking to a man, "avoid most of what women do when we talk to each other," Armstrong says.
That means agreeing verbally, rephrasing your question, prompting the answer and nodding excessively, Armstrong says.
Why men don't listen reason #9: He feels like he's being nagged.
You don't think of yourself as a broken record. But when your guy goes out to buy milk, you remind him – again – to get organic 2%.
Once again, he brings home the non-organic whole milk, and once again you're fighting.
Relationship do:
Instead of phrasing your reminder as a request, turn it into a question. You could say, "Do you know which kind of milk to get?"
Few people remember by hearing. They remember by thinking through to get to the answer, Puhn explains.
Or better yet, encourage him to download the phone app, "
Remember the milk
," a reminder and task scheduler all in one.
It works because the only thing most guys love more than their phones are new apps. He can enter the milk type once and have it in his phone for good, ending that argument so you can talk about more important things, like what he's getting you for your anniversary.
How Well Do You Understand Men?
They say men and women are from different planets. You have probably had a relationship or two where it was more like different galaxies and are well aware that understanding men is a little more complicated than being able to guess what he wants for dinner.

A city with a haunted heart. Literally.
Tallinn is a city of contradictions, Christian with a pagan soul. Haunted houses, goblins and devils are more real to Tallinn's inhabitants than anywhere else in the world. These beliefs reveal a city with a rich cultural heritage, alive and mysterious. Cobblestoned streets, hidden courtyards, churches and temples make some of the main attractions, but Tallinn is also famous for its beer and vodka and the subtle and delicate beauty of the countryside.

Hi there, I'm looking for some help with BLW. DS is 8 months old. I know I am to just feed him food from my plate but I'm not sure my food is appropriate. Most of what we eat is organic. DS has had avocado, banana, apple, sweet potato, yellow potato, lettuce, cucumber, pickle, everything in large wedges. Some of the meals Hubby and I eat are chicken quesadillas, salmon patties, mac and cheese, burgers, meatloaf, steak, pizza, ham and scalloped potatoes, beef and veggie chili, made-rites, hot dogs, sides we have things like peas, glazed baby carrots, salad, mashed potatoes, homemade spicy fries, green beans. Breakfast is usually oatmeal, and lunch is salad and an egg sandwich. I also do fruit and yogurt every day. I just don't know if these foods are okay for him to eat or how to turn them into foods he can eat. The food we eat is not in large wedges/pieces.
I hope that made sense, I'm really tired. Thanks for your help in advance!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Benchmarking is the process of comparing one's business processes and performance metrics to industry bests or best practices from other companies. Dimensions typically measured are quality, time and cost. In the process of best practice benchmarking, management identifies the best firms in their industry, or in another industry where similar processes exist, and compares the results and processes of those studied (the "targets") to one's own results and processes. In this way, they learn how well the targets perform and, more importantly, the business processes that explain why these firms are successful.
Benchmarking is used to measure performance using a specific indicator (cost per unit of measure, productivity per unit of measure, cycle time of x per unit of measure or defects per unit of measure) resulting in a metric of performance that is then compared to others.[1][2]
Also referred to as "best practice benchmarking" or "process benchmarking", this process is used in management and particularly strategic management, in which organizations evaluate various aspects of their processes in relation to best practice companies' processes, usually within a peer group defined for the purposes of comparison. This then allows organizations to develop plans on how to make improvements or adapt specific best practices, usually with the aim of increasing some aspect of performance. Benchmarking may be a one-off event, but is often treated as a continuous process in which organizations continually seek to improve their practices.
In 2008, a comprehensive survey[3] on benchmarking was commissioned by The Global Benchmarking Network, a network of benchmarking centers representing 22 countries. Over 450 organizations responded from over 40 countries. The results showed that:
Benchmarking, originally described by Rank Xerox, is usually carried out by individual companies. Sometimes it may be carried out collaboratively by groups of companies (e.g. subsidiaries of a multinational in different countries). One example is that of the Dutch municipally-owned water supply companies, which have carried out a voluntary collaborative benchmarking process since 1997 through their industry association. Another example is the UK construction industry which has carried out benchmarking since the late 1990s again through its industry association and with financial support from the UK Government.
There is no single benchmarking process that has been universally adopted. The wide appeal and acceptance of benchmarking has led to the emergence of benchmarking methodologies. One seminal book is Boxwell's Benchmarking for Competitive Advantage (1994).[4] The first book on benchmarking, written and published by Kaiser Associates,[5] is a practical guide and offers a seven-step approach. Robert Camp (who wrote one of the earliest books on benchmarking in 1989)[6] developed a 12-stage approach to benchmarking.
The 12 stage methodology consists of:
The following is an example of a typical benchmarking methodology:
The three main types of costs in benchmarking are:
The cost of benchmarking can substantially be reduced through utilizing the many internet resources that have sprung up over the last few years. These aim to capture benchmarks and best practices from organizations, business sectors and countries to make the benchmarking process much quicker and cheaper.[7]
The technique initially used to compare existing corporate strategies with a view to achieving the best possible performance in new situations (see above), has recently been extended to the comparison of technical products. This process is usually referred to as "technical benchmarking" or "product benchmarking". Its use is well-developed within the automotive industry ("automotive benchmarking"), where it is vital to design products that match precise user expectations, at minimal cost, by applying the best technologies available worldwide. Data is obtained by fully disassembling existing cars and their systems. Such analyses were initially carried out in-house by car makers and their suppliers. However, as these analyses are expensive, they are increasingly being outsourced to companies who specialize in this area. Outsourcing has enabled a drastic decrease in costs for each company (by cost sharing) and the development of efficient tools (standards, software).-
Benchmarking can be internal (comparing performance between different groups or teams within an organization) or external (comparing performance with companies in a specific industry or across industries). Within these broader categories, there are three specific types of benchmarking: 1) Process benchmarking, 2) Performance benchmarking and 3) strategic benchmarking.[8] These can be further detailed as follows:
Benchmarking software can be used to organize large and complex amounts of information. Software packages can extend the concept of benchmarking and competitive analysis by allowing individuals to handle such large and complex amounts or strategies. Such tools support different types of benchmarking (see above) and can reduce the above costs significantly.
Another approach to making comparisons involves using more aggregative cost or production information to identify strong and weak performing units. The two most common forms of quantitative analysis used in metric benchmarking are data envelope analysis (DEA) and regression analysis. DEA estimates the cost level an efficient firm should be able to achieve in a particular market. In infrastructure regulation, DEA can be used to reward companies/operators whose costs are near the efficient frontier with additional profits. Regression analysis estimates what the average firm should be able to achieve. With regression analysis, firms that performed better than average can be rewarded while firms that performed worse than average can be penalized. Such benchmarking studies are used to create yardstick comparisons, allowing outsiders to evaluate the performance of operators in an industry. Advanced statistical techniques, including stochastic frontier analysis, have been used to identify high and weak performers in industries, including applications to schools, hospitals, water utilities, and electric utilities.[12]
One of the biggest challenges for metric benchmarking is the variety of metric definitions used among companies or divisions. Definitions may change over time within the same organization due to changes in leadership and priorities. The most useful comparisons can be made when metrics definitions are common between compared units and do not change so improvements can be verified.

Geometric screensaver
Add colorful swirls to your display when your computer is resting with this program.
MBSS Starfields is a stunning program featuring beautiful swirls of colors at your command. However, that command may require a mathematics degree to master. Regardless, it quickly pretties up a display.
The program's interface is regrettably complicated, but does not really need to be dealt with too deeply. The actual screensaver has default settings that should be good enough for most users. Digging deeper to make adjustments, though, is a confusing tangle of geometric and mathematical terminology that will have a limited appeal. The Help file actually does a better job of explaining the scientific principals this program works on, than helping users operate it, which makes it pretty much a waste. The star-filled screensaver is a delightfully changing stream of colors and patterns. Looking like a rainbow twisting its way through outer space, users will enjoy how this screensaver doesn't stay in one place for long and is always providing some surprises. The program's default settings will be fine for most users. However, those wanting more control can dig into its features. This gets off to a rough start, since its configuration options are hidden and are accessed only by right-clicking the desktop icon. Within, users will find a clutter of adjustable settings, revolving around complex mathematical terminology (such as Solar Wind Adjustment, Vertical Gravity, and more) that is best ignored.
The program's trial places a watermark across the screensaver. While it is best to keep the default settings, this program offers an impressive way to let your computer sleep.

Jefferson, TX (KMSS) — Just a few miles outside of Atlanta stands Tara, a place loved by many Gone with the Wind fans.
Oh wait, did you think I meant Atlanta, Georgia?
No, Atlanta, Texas, and the Tara I'm talking about is made of fondant.
It's at the Scarlett O'Hardy Museum in Jefferson, Texas.
Owner and director Bobbie Hardy has been a Gone With the Wind fan her whole life, collecting memorabilia throughout the years. It's only natural, that she needed a place to store her keepsakes, saying "it just evolved you know through the years, my collection did. And never in my wildest imagination did I think I would have a Gone With the Wind museum."
She does though, and what a museum it is.
Walking in I was greeted by Melly the dog, although her costume would make people think her name is Mammy. Then, looking up, I saw a Christmas tree with every imaginable Gone With the Wind ornament. It's up all year long, so everybody can see it.
The museum isn't the only breathtaking part of the museum. There is a dollhouse that incorporates parts of Twelve Oaks, Tara, and the butler's Atlanta mansion.
I say fiddle dee dee to anybody who says doll houses are just for little kids; this one is absolutely amazing.
What else is amazing is that the museum has editions of the book in almost every language imaginable. That's not the only foreign part of the museum according to Hardy; "I always greet people and ask where they're from, and they said slovakia. And I mean, I have cold chills now just thinking about that."
I still have chills when I wonder if there is any way that any other museum could ever live up to the awesomeness of this one.
I'll tell you the truth though, in the words of Rhett Butler, frankly my dear, I don't give a- well, you know how the rest goes.
And that's just another reason I Love the Ark-La-Tex.

Similar Items:Celebrating 50 years of the most iconic amplifier brand in the world.
Gibson Custom and Marshall Amplification are proud to introduce the very limited edition "50 Years of Loud" Goldtop Les Paul. Based on the highly sought after 1957 historic reissue and hand-aged by Tom Murphy, these very special instruments are limited to 50 pieces worldwide and will only be available through a select group of Gibson Custom and Marshall dealers.
This limited run of 50 guitars is the ticket to Marshall's limited edition 50th Anniversary Bluesbreaker amp. Together, the guitar and amplifier represent what is likely the ultimate acquisition for fans of these two iconic brands, which have gone hand-in-hand for the last 50 years.
Tasteful in every detail, the 50th Anniversary Marshall Goldtop Les Paul is first and foremost a player's guitar. It comes loaded for loud with a matched set of Custom Buckers, lightweight aluminium tailpiece, Plek-d neck and the world-renowned combination of two-piece maple top joined to a single piece mahogany body.
Each instrument is hand aged by legendary Tom Murphy, creating the look and feel of a guitar that's been on the stage for decades.
Marshall's 50 years as the loudest, rowdiest and most played amplifier in the history of rock and roll is commemorated in the guitar's subtle details including the 50th Anniversary medallion on its headstock, inlaid Marshall script at the 12 fret and Jim Marshall's signature on the truss rod cover.
Combined with 50 of Marshall's limited edition Bluesbreaker, hand-wired 50th Anniversary amplifiers, it's quite possibly the most powerful and memorable guitar and amplifier marriage the world has ever seen.
Each guitar comes with a leather-bound Certificate of Authenticity and is serialized #1-50.
Marshall 1962LE, The Consummate British Blues Combo
According to the late, great Jim Marshall, this amp was first designed following a conversation with a young English guitarist who used to practice in Jim's music shop and later went on to international stardom. "He was one of the first guitarists to ask me for a combo version of the JYM45," Jim recollected, years later. "He wanted something that'd be easy for him to get in and out of the boot [trunk] of his car, you see. That's how the 1962 came about."
Are you one of the few? Order now.

Comments about Gibson Custom Limited Edition Marshall 50th Anniversary Les Paul Goldtop & 1962LE Bluesbreaker Amp Package:
So, i went out on a limb purchasing this, and i am pleased with the guitar, and the amp, but this is terrible overpriced. The guitar is basically the exact same as my les paul custom. And the amp has great clean sound, but is extremely muddy oerdriven. Id say you are better off getting a regular les paul custon and a nice amp of your choice, because this is definately not worth the 20,000+ price tag.

Hotels, Booze and Drugs Headline This Week's Earnings
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- It seems that every week includes companies of interest reporting quarterly results. Today I provide my buy-and-trade parameters for eight stocks in six sectors; one in the basic materials sector, one in the business services sector, one in the construction sector, two in the consumer discretionary sector and one in the consumer staples sector.
The basic materials sector is 1.1% undervalued, but has an underweight rating with 68.9% of the 402 stocks in this sector rated sell or strong sell.
The business services sector is 22.4% overvalued with an equal-weight rating.
The construction sector is 17.6% overvalued with an underweight rating with 60.9% of the 161 stocks in this sector rated sell or strong sell.
The consumer discretionary sector is 23.5% overvalued with an equal-weight rating. The consumer staples sector is 16.7% overvalued with an overweight rating with 50.9% of the 265 stocks in this sector rated buy. The risk / reward for the stock market is not favorable in the fourth quarter, and today's monthly and quarterly closes will result in new monthly pivots / risky levels and new quarterly risky levels. This week's value levels lag at 14,696 Dow Industrial Average, 1641.5 S&P 500, 3695 Nasdaq, 6318 Dow transports and 1034.93 Russell 2000.

"Sometimes it was 2-1/2 or three hours," Santana said Tuesday. "I feel good. We worked a lot on my shoulders and my legs."
Santana added he didn't do any outfield work this offseason and spent all of his time working on drills at shortstop, as he will be competing with Eduardo Escobar for the starting shortstop job this spring.
"It's probably been one of the more awkward things for me this winter in dealing with that situation," Molitor said, per MLB.com. "Obviously, I have to go in there open-minded about how it will play out. I can't say Santana will be the shortstop because things can change. Escobar deserves an opportunity to play and whether it's spotting around the organization or he has to go back to shortstop, I can't tell you it all will work out."
Escobar started a team-high 86 games at shortstop in 2014 for Minnesota. He made it clear he wants to play every day, but is willing to play where Molitor needs him.
"This season is important for me," Escobar said. "I'm coming in ready to play. I don't know if I'm going to be the starting shortstop or not, but I've been working hard to be ready for spring training. If Molitor wants me to play shortstop, or wherever, I'm ready for it."
Santana said he is excited he is moving back to shortstop after making a team-high 62 starts in center field last year. He's been fielding 200 grounders per day in the Dominican Republic to get ready for the season.
"I'm very happy about playing shortstop. I was waiting for that moment," Santana said. "Shortstop is my natural position. I just need to keep working and I can do the same thing as last year."
Santana returns on a roll. He had 13 hits in 33 at-bats with five multi-hit performances in seven games before going down.
Santana has been sidelined since Saturday with a back injury. Perkins hasn't pitched since Thursday with a neck issue.
Santana has not played since suffering the injury Saturday, and remains day to day at this point.
Aaron Hicks will patrol center field in Santana's absence on Sunday.
Santana injured himself while making a throw in the outfield. He remained in the game initially, but was taken out for a pinch hitter before his next at-bat.
Find out why in the latest Start and Sit Hitters.
Santana was moved off shortstop after suffering a knee injury, making 25 starts in centerfield since his return. He has appeared in 43 games in center and 18 at shortstop this season.
Santana smacked four singles and scored a key run in the eighth inning to help his team win. He is 14 for 28 in a six-game hitting streak that followed an 0-for-11 slide.
Granted, he owes much of his production during that time to a five-hit effort Sunday, but even in the 14 games preceding it, he still managed an .821 OPS, continuing to showcase the extra-base power that eluded him for much of his minor-league career but isn't totally far-fetched for a still-developing 23-year-old. And of course, no one doubts he can run.
I'm still skeptical of his batting average (which isn't to say he can't provide a respectable one, but .325 for a 23-year-old who strikes out four times as often as he walks is begging for correction), but factoring in the power, Santana's skill set isn't so different from the one that's made Arismendy Alcantara such a popular pickup over the last few weeks. And Santana is the hotter hand right now.
So fittingly, I've moved Santana up to 18th in my shortstop rankings (17th in Rotisserie), one spot ahead of Alcantara. And that's a risk-averse ranking. I'd say both he and Alcantara have more upside than Alcides Escobar, Jhonny Peralta, Erick Aybar and Jed Lowrie, so if you can afford to gamble, you might want to bypass those safer types for one of the up-and-comers.
Santana scored in the first inning when a batter was hit with the bases loaded. He then drove two home with a double in the sixth inning. Santana racked up two hits during a nine-run eighth inning, first driving one home with a triple and plating another on an infield single. Santana has hit .325/.362/.497 with five home runs, 27 RBI and eight stolen bases in 197 at-bats.
Santana had just one hit in the game, but he made it count, clubbing a two-run home run in the eighth inning in a failed effort to spark a rally. He went 1 for 3 overall with one strikeout in addition to his two RBI.
Santana hasn't provided much power this season, as he is hitting .325/.361/.465 with three home runs in 157 at-bats.
Santana tripled and scored in the first to tie the game, then singled and scored in the fith to give Minnesota a lead it would not relinquish.
Santana, who struggled during a rehab assignment, has continue to scuffle at the plate. The rookie is 1 for 9 since the All-Star break, but still owns a fine stat line of .315/.351/.427.
Santana has been out since June 25 with a knee injury, He had just one hit in 11 at-bats on his rehab assignment, but is hitting .328/.366/.448 in 134 at-bats in the majors.
Santana was able to play seven innings in the field Wednesday, but is still hitless over seven at-bats. He's struck out twice and has hit one ball out of the infield during that period. Santana is attempting to come back from a knee injury.
Santana has been out since June 25 while recovering from a bone bruise on his knee. He had hoped to return before the All-Star break, and as long as he doesn't suffer a setback over the next few days, he should find his way back on the Twins' active roster soon, potentially this weekend.
Santana was aiming for a weekend return, but will need a rehab assignment first. Santana is hitting .328 over 134 at-bats.
Santana was placed on the disabled list Wednesday, so he should be able to rejoin the team late next week. He has hit .328/.366/.448 with two home runs, 16 RBI and six stolen bases in 134 at-bats.
Santana will be on a four-game hitting streak upon his return. He has been a surprise this season with a .326/.366/.448 stat line and six stolen bases.
Santana is not playing Thursday against Anaheim.
Santana, who is scheduled for an MRI on the knee Thursday, was removed from the game Wednesday. His potential loss would remove a strong bat from the Minnesota lineup. He owns a stat line of .328/.366/.448.
Santana was removed for a pinch runner after smacking a double Wednesday. He's day-to-day until the team learns more about the injury.
Santana is undergoing further evaluation in the training room during the game Wednesday. He was 1 for 2 with a double before being removed for a pinch runner. He has hit .328/.366/.448 with two home runs, 16 RBI and six stolen bases in 134 at-bats.
Santana has hit wherever he has played for the Twins this season. His sample size has grown, yet he still owns a stat line of .356/.396/.478.
For one thing, I don't trust the playing time just yet. He has emerged as the Twins primary center fielder in recent days, but that's at least partially because of Aaron Hicks' shoulder injury. The Twins also have Eduardo Escobar to man shortstop, Santana's natural position, which could condemn the rookie to a platoon role in the long run.
That is, assuming he doesn't wind up back in the minors first. Again, he has speed and seems to be developing gap power at age 23, but the underlying numbers -- most notably his 20 strikeouts to just four walks in 77 at-bats -- suggest he's in for a major correction in batting average. He was hitting just .268 at Triple-A Rochester prior to his promoiton and has hit only .274 over his minor-league career.
That's not to say he can't improve and doesn't have a future in the big leagues, but the attention he's getting in Fantasy might be a little too much too fast. I'd look to Eugenio Suarez first if I had to dig that deep into the shortstop pool.
Santana smacked three singles and a double, driving in a career-high five in the process. He singled in two in the second, doubled in a pair in the fourth and singled in another in the seventh while sweetening his stat line to an impressive .373./.408/.493.
Santana is dealing with an eye issue. He left Friday's game due to the injury and was unable to play Saturday. Santana is hitting .375 in 40 at-bats.
Santana, who got stitches after sustaining the laceration stealing a base, is off to a strong start to his major league career with a stat line of .375/.432/.475.
Santana was available Thursday, but is not in the starting lineup Friday. He is off to a strong start in his major league career with eight hits in 21 at-bats and some sterling plays in the field.
Santana is off to a 7-for-17 start with two RBI in six games.
That leaves promosing rookie Danny Santana as the last man standing. His strong start to his career and quick bat could lock him in as the starting shortstop going forward. Santana has four hits in his first nine at-bats and has fanned just once. He is 3 for 5 in his last two games with two doubles.
"Whoever is out there that day is my shortstop," Gardenhire said, per MLB.com. "I have confidence in anybody I put out there."
Gardenhire said he wants to give Florimon as many opportunities to start because of his defense, but his poor start offensively has kept him from being the everyday shortstop.
"He's been fighting it a little bit [offensively]," Gardenhire said. "You watch him with that glove and the way he makes it easy out there, and that's why you love him so much. But Esco has been swinging good, and Santana is ready to rock and roll. I can promise you that."
The move was expected, and was reported by FoxSports late Friday. He's hitting .268 in 97 at-bats at Triple-A.

The Pea asked me last night what I wanted for Mother's Day. I told her I would be happy with some of her lovely artwork or a nice card. No, besides a card! , she insisted. Then how about something homemade, like the lovely beads that your brothers made for me at preschool? No, something else!
My next thought was to say, I want a day to window shop all by myself. But I didn't really want to tell The Pea that what I want most is a day without her. And besides, if I spent Mother's Day window shopping, I'd probably end up eating some junky treat from the mall food court.
So I told her I'd love to get a spa manicure. And sweet girl that she is, even though her life savings amounts to just $40, her face lit up and she said, "OK mommy, I'll use my own money to pay for a manicure for you!".
I tell you, spending Mother's Day with the Pea and her brothers beats window shopping any day.
(but for my real wish list -- take note, Alfie!! -- click here)

Life Technologies Announces SFDA Clearance For Its 3500xL Dx Genetic Analyzer In China And The Launch Of 10 Assays From Its Joint Venture With Daan Gene
SHANGHAI, March 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Life Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: LIFE) today announced that its Applied Biosystems 3500xL Dx Genetic Analyzer has been approved by China's State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) for clinical diagnostic use in China and the launch of 10 Assays from its joint venture with Daan Gene. The development marks a major extension of Life Technologies' capabilities to serve the clinical end market in China with Sanger-based solutions.
The 3500xL Dx is an automated 24 capillary-based Sanger Sequencer designed for a wide range of sequencing applications. It delivers high quality performance, higher throughput and increased productivity for clinical laboratories around the world.
Together with Life Technologies' genetic analyzer 3500 Dx that was approved by SFDA for IVD use in 2011 in China, the 3500 series genetic analyzers are intended for use in a wide range of applications in the process of clinical research, including de novo sequencing and mutational profiling as well as HLA typing. The newly expanded offering of both the 3500 Dx and the 3500xL Dx provides hospitals of all sizes the flexibility they need to meet their unique throughput demands.
Based on the 3500 Dx series platform, ten assays have been developed or licensed by Guangzhou Life Technologies DaAn Diagnostics Co. Ltd, a joint venture that established in 2012 between Life Technologies and Daan Gene Co. Ltd. of Sun Yat Sen University. These assays will be used for genotypic and drug resistance testing, cancer mutation identification and the prenatal chromosome disorder detection. Currently, nine out of the ten assays are Research Use Only kits and the other one that can be used in Trisomy 21 prenatal screening for Down syndrome is SFDA registered. The company is currently conducting clinical trials and is actively seeking the SFDA approval for the remaining nine kits.

You take mouthfuls of me
Huge, selfish as they are
Leaving morsels of me behind
Teeth my words and chew up my heart
Bite through my spine with shark like jaws
I am used, you explain, damaged,
Dirty for existing.
Dirty for loving you.
I ask you why you like to hurt me.
"I love you most when you ache on the inside."
I have never hated myself more.

SEATTLE (AP) - Juan Uribe got the big hit San Francisco had been missing, a two-out bases clearing double in a five-run eighth inning, and Matt Cain tossed his first complete game this season in the Giants' 5-1 win over the Seattle Mariners on Saturday night.
On a maddening streak of failing to come up with a clutch hit, Uribe gave the Giants just that. With two outs and the bases loaded, Uribe lined a 1-0 pitch from Seattle reliever Mark Lowe (0-2) to the wall in right-center field, scoring all three runners just when it appeared the Giants were destined for another low-scoring loss.

Concierge.com's insider take:
Trinidad's 430 species of rare and exotic birds, including the scarlet ibis and the oilbird, draw a big binoculars crowd. Caroni Swamp Bird Sanctuary, a short drive from Port of Spain, is the place to spot flocks of ibis. They come to roost in the swamp's rookeries around sunset; 4 pm tours with Nanan's Bird Sanctuary Tours take you to watch them swoop in by the flock-full. The island's rainforest harbors a host of birds and other animals, including agouti, iguanas, howler monkeys, and armadillos. Asa Wright Nature Centre allows easy access into the mountain forest and, along with Aripo Caves, is a prime location for spotting cave-dwelling oilbirds.
