Shows > Music Video Premieres
Zambri - "All You Maybes" (Official Premiere)
New Music
Jessica and Christi Jo, the sisters behind ethereal pop project Zambri, have been making music together all their lives, which is unsurprising given that their sound straddles the line between something nostalgically familiar and something fiercely new. "All You Maybes," from the duo's debut LP release House of Baasa, swells with pop-sensibilities-gone-rogue and recalls the eerie, fitful dreams of ghost story sleepovers.
Check out the maybe-NSFVertigo video, directed and animated by Johnny Woods, and catch Zambri at their first ever London shows:

Pantry Project Completed
I finally had the carpenter who renovated my walk-in closet help me with building my pantry. Like many of you, my pantry was a complete disorganized disaster. You'd think we were stocking up for a nuclear attack or the apocalypse with all the stuff I have, especially since it is only my husband and I in this house! LOL
After my closet was done, I was amazed at how clean and organized it stays (it was a mess too). That was such a weight off my shoulders, I decided I needed the same organization in my pantry.
Having a carpenter build what I wanted was much more economical than the "custom" closet companies. This was "really" custom. After using it for a few weeks I realized I really liked drawers so I had him make me some extra drawers, in place of shelves. I also had him build a pull out shelf for a basket that I really love. If I had it to do over again, I would have more pull out shelves. Of course, it's not too late...but then I would have to paint them all.
Here are my before and after pictures. My new pantry has made my life more organized. I feel less stressed and I can easily locate my items. In the "Before" photos, I have the can consolidator, but I hated the plastic construction. My carpenter made custom shelves to help hide the plastic parts and now I love it and the functionality it provides.
Hopefully I attach the photos correctly.
Yes it thrills me to the bone. Like my closet, whenever I open my pantry door, I just smile. As you can see, I still have a lot of stuff, but still have empty drawers and shelves. My carpenter was great. Once we got the design down, it was done in 4 days. I just had to get my painter in and then wait for that to dry before I could put my items back in. In the before pictures, it was pretty standard builder grade and shelves were sagging due to the weight.
The cost for my carpenter to pull out all the old shelves, build everything from scratch with real wood shelves, drawer pull-outs, vertical storage, raising the upper shelves (non-functional before since they were about 3 feet tall and could only hold a layers of items and making the shelves deeper cost about $950. Well worth the cost.
I think I am going to have him tackle my garage next. I just have the find the energy to clean out that catastrophic area. LOL
Wow! You and your carpenter did a great job! Thanks for sharing your pictures to inspire those of us who still need to reorganize. Can you tell me what kind of door is on the pantry (i.e. is it a bifold) and how large the interior of the pantry is?
Hi Ontario Mom. The door is a regular door, 24" and the measurements of the pantry are 5'8" x 4'6".
Hi Mustangs, glad I could help. I know prices are different in various areas of the country, but I was really happy with the price. I thought it was reasonable for the peace of mind. Also, it was much less expensive than the "custom closet" companies.
Sonepi, The guy was here today to install pull-out shelves in my base cabinets. He made them versus the other installers who ordered them pre-made from another company. For 8 shelves he charged $600. I showed him your project (making sure he saw the price you paid) and asked if that was something he could do. He said yes but suggested the systems they have at Ikea then he would install and make necessary adjustments. He said that was what he did in his house.
Hi Mustangs,
That sounds awfully expensive $600 for 8 shelves. I think my drawers were $30-35 and the pull-out shelves were maybe $15. I found my guy on Angie's List, under Carpenters. I think you should get some additional estimates. I haven't really checked out the Ikea store to look at their systems.
timberframe...I think they are the Cansolidator Series. I've always been interested in something like this, too. I'll link it below.
We'll be building a house next Spring & will have a fairly large pantry so the free-standing system is very interesting. We live 300 miles from Anchorage & this would work well for us since we really stock up.
GREAT job on your pantry! Very effective use of space & your carpenter did a great job listening to your needs. How do you like using the rotation can organizer? Do you always use the same can in each slot?
Here is a link that might be useful: Cansolidator Series

Comet ISON is now closer to the Sun than Earth, having crossed Earth's orbit on Wednesday. The comet is behaving a bit strangely as it aims for its first-and last high-speed pass across the surface of the Sun.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Around Oct. 19, amateur observations of Comet ISON revealed the once-lauded "Comet of the Century" was brightening quickly. Now in the past several days, as it sweeps past Earth, observers have gone so far as to report the object dimming slightly. What gives?
Comet ISON, it appears, is behaving more like a solid body than a traditional comet. While it is very much a comet, it isn't emitting as much dust as comets normally do. It is still emitting gas and will continue to do both as it approaches the Sun and continues to warm.
Perhaps because of its lackluster performance, not many people have made mention of it recently. Certainly the media has been relatively quiet about this icy visitor from deep space.
On Nov. 28, Thanksgiving day in the U.S., ISON will pass just three-quarters of a million miles above the surface of the Sun. Tidal forces could rip the comet apart. Alternatively, the comet could survive, having been heated enough to cause it to spew more dust and gas than ever before. That outgassing is expected to make the comet bright enough to see with the naked eye.
ISON should appear as a naked eye object in late November, being visible to casual observers in the first week of December.
The composition of the comet has much to do with how it performs. It is possible that the comet is more rocky than is typical, a fact that could make the object dimmer because it might not cast off as much dust and gas.
For anyone wishing to view the comet now, a telescope is your best bet. Binoculars may make out ISON, if you know what you're looking for. In most observations, it will appear as a small, fuzzy patch. The bright tail and other famous features of comets will not develop until December. Often those features require long-exposure images to reveal the fine and impressive detail.
Most of us will experience ISON for the first time in a little less than a month now, as it rises into the eastern sky after dark.
How bright it will eventually become, and if it will survive its close encounter with the sun is a mystery we are all anxious to see resolved. However, one thing is clear. Comet ISON probably isn't going to be the Comet of the Century. That distinction will belong to another freezing visitor from deep space that is already well on its way towards the Sun, but remains distant and undiscovered for now.
This chart shows the path of Comet ISON in the sky through December.

River Day Medford May 5th
Expand Messages
- I am looking forward to your event April 24th.
Please see the notice below, and lets look to connection with the
walkways on the Medford side in the future!
I am coordinating a new community/school event here in Medford. Its
called "River Day." This is a simple, fun filled walk in the park;
and it could be the place where the future meets the present and
children get involved.
On Wednesday May 5th over 500 students from The Andrews Middle School
in Medford will visit the Mystic Riverbend Park and sample events and
activities that are related to the river, and to the waterways in
our area.
I am seeking educational and public affairs contacts within your
organization. We need to join with the neighboring towns -so you are
invited to attend. Perhaps you can contribute a display on the
Crossing? I hear there is a nice poster? Can you bring it or can we
borrow it?
Please review the attached program outline- its still being created-
so ideas are welcome. The big picture is to create an enriching
experience for these kids, and bring people together for the good of
the environment and community. The immediate need is people, in place
on that day, showing their stuff off to kids.

You read that on CNN, didn't you?
Well, he won't be reading Slashdot, 'cos he's an arsehole.
And now neither will anyone else from Thailand...
Well, he won't be reading Slashdot, 'cos he's an arsehole.
Since when has that ever prevented anyone from reading slashdot?
Well, he won't be reading Slashdot, 'cos he's an arsehole.

Hell, we insult sitting Presidents, so why shouldn't we insult dead ones?
Because it's just not nearly as much fun. Try it yourself and see -- "Grover Cleveland was a fucking pussy." "Andrew Jackson was a racist prick."
Hey, I think I was wrong; this actually does have its appeal. Millard Fillmore was so fat....
Well, the money has the king's picture on it, and the caddies were horrified that his image had been placed on the ground.
But they're just fine with him being in your pants?
Why would you watch CNN if you have Fox?

5 reasons to be wildly excited about content marketing
Mar 27th
The other day I was a guest on Dr. Jon Buscall's very fine podcast and we chatted about the marketing challenge of fighting through information density on the web. It was a fun and intense discussion but then he interjected a comment that caused me to twitch:
"I hope our listeners aren't frightened off by this discussion!"
It made me pause. Could that be true?
I have written and talked a lot lately about wrestling with the challenges of attention and content overload (aka "Content Shock"). Has this discussion frightened people off?
There is no question that the tsunami of content in the face of an increasingly limited attention span should be the number one concern, the number one discussion, and the number one source of innovation in our field right now. You just can't pretend this is business as usual. Our job is hard and it will be getting harder.
But I ended that post (and each discussion) by emphasizing that content marketing is not over and expressing optimism about the opportunities ahead. And yet, reactions from some fellow bloggers have been along the lines of "Schaefer said we are doomed!"
So I have a need to present some balance here.
This natural evolution of a marketing channel by no means defines the opportunity ahead of us. In fact, content marketing is driving some incredibly important trends. Here are five reasons I am wildly excited by the future of content marketing:
1) Focus on human engagement
The smartest marketers realize that simply dumping content on the market doesn't optimize the opportunities for a business. For content to be powerful, it has to MOVE. People need to share it, spread it, and engage with it.
Now let's step back and think about the behaviors that goal will drive in a company. What do you have to achieve to not only create content but move it?
- The content has to be valuable enough to be shared.
- The company has to consistently, actively, and ambitiously find and nurture an engaged audience who is willing to share that content.
- The organization must continually measure and fine-tune this process so that it delivers increasing business value.
When I compare this to how we pushed marketing materials around 20 years ago, I think this is absolutely focusing attention on the right customer-centered activities!
2) The wide open opportunities
If you are working for a top brand locking horns in a very competitive national market like mobile phones, fast food, or automotive you are probably thinking, "Dude, content shock occurred for us years ago!"
But the fact is, for the majority of businesses, content marketing is still a wide open space.
With the increasingly personal and local nature of search results, you don't need vast resources and millions of dollars to make an impact with your content if you are a small or regional business. The key to success is to find an un-saturated niche and dominate it. Right now, almost every niche is un-saturated so find your spot and go for it!
3) The possibilities for content creators
In the history of the world, there has been almost no opportunity to make a decent living as an artist (what we now call content creators!) unless you had a rich patron or you somehow were elevated to an elite cultural status.
There has never been a greater opportunity to monetize your writing, your design skills, your love of video and editing than right now. And we're just at the beginning.
The Internet's appetite for quality content is insatiable.
4) Open source marketing
Here is another content marketing trend that is just so exciting to me … if we do this right, we are really establishing a channel for "open source marketing."
Only a small fraction of the stories about our businesses come from our own company. People love you and they are blogging about it, tweeting about and Instagramming about it (yes, that is a real verb now!). Most of the stories are OUT THERE, not on our website. How do we capture those amazing stories, amplify them and celebrate them?
It's truly open-source marketing. Every person who loves your product, university, non-profit, hospital or cause can move and promote your message. Find them. Help them.
I'm convinced that the most exciting opportunity for content marketing rests with THEIR stories, not OUR stories.
5) Setting the stage for an amazing future
In the hurricane of our daily jobs, it is easy to be pre-occupied with today and the here and now. It's hard work, it's a grind, and there is a lot of pressure to compete.
But I love to get people to look up now and then and picture what is going to be happening in the next five years. With wearable technology and augmented reality, we are on the brink of a marketing world without boundaries!
What will content marketing look like when the Internet surrounds us like the air that we breathe? How do we connect with our customers when there is a digital layer on top of the "real world," when every wall, window and table top becomes a canvas for our story?
My gosh. The possibilities are endless, inspiring, breath-taking!
See? Now you have me all wound up! Just thinking about the possibilities of content marketing get my juices flowing. Are you with me?

10 Strategies to Battle Content Shock
Mar 17th
In January, I wrote a post called Content Shock which explained that we are entering a new phase in the evolution of content-based marketing. There are primarily two dynamics driving this change:
- The amount of content on the web is literally exploding. By 2020, the amount of web-based information (most of it consumer-driven) is expected to increase by 600%. Think about that for a moment. If you can imagine the vastness of the Internet today, in six years we will have six of those.
- Today an average American spends about 10 hours a day consuming content, a number that has risen steadily year by year. But there is a threshold to the amount of attention we will be able to devote to content, which will further challenge a marketer's ability to get messages through to their audience and stakeholders.
I wrote about a third factor — the development of advanced content filters — as another emerging issue that will make it harder to get our content to emerge as the signal instead of the noise.
My conclusion was that these pressures are bound to thin the herd. Content marketing as we know it will not be a sustainable strategy for some businesses, and it will become more difficult and expensive for almost all of us.
But I concluded this post with a tantalizing question …
Where do we turn to win in an era of Content Shock?
It's hard to deny these facts or the implication that in an eco-system of way too much stuff, SOMETHING is going to have to change. But what?
How do we break through this information density and win in a hyper-competitive content market?
First, I need to emphasize that the affects of this trend are going to vary wildly by industry so this is not necessarily a doom and gloom scenario or the "end of content marketing" as some have contended. I explained that in detail in a follow up post on Arguments Against Content Shock. I also explained that content shock can be seen as a positive for many consumers.
However, many businesses are already struggling with the cost and complexity of competing in a world being covered up in content. Here are brief descriptions of 10 possible strategies to break through.
1) Shock and Awe
The only sustainable content strategy is to find an unsaturated niche and overwhelm the web with so much quality content that search engines only discover you. Effectively, you are creating content shock for your competitors.
You don't necessarily have to be the best content creator if you are in this situation, but you have to be first and overwhelming. This is an uneasy fact we don't often discuss but it is true. The strategy is:
- Find an unsaturated niche.
- Produce a volume of quality, helpful material aimed at relevant platforms.
- Never stop producing content.
Dominating a niche early has extremely important long-term value because the search engines will continue to recognize and reward the authority you accrue. Great content does not rise to the top. Great content from dominant websites with an established audience rises to the top.
2) Content Partnerships
If our "pipeline" to consumers is being strangled, create new content partnerships through innovations such as:
- Brandscaping — Combining audiences by cooperating on co-branded content.
- News jacking — A term coined by David Meerman Scott, newsjacking describes a process to align your brand message with breaking news events so you ride a wave of traditional media coverage.
- Sponsored content — A range of alternatives ranging from paid news placements to paying bloggers for editorial space
- Native advertising — Techniques that embed commercial messages in the editorial copy of news and information channels.
I'm not sure how sustainable these strategies are in the long-term, and they are not without controversy. There is a danger when you cross that line and turn your content/news site into an infomercial. Still, this trend is going to heat up because traditional news sites are desperate for revenue streams and marketers need new ways to cut through the content clutter.
3. Content as social currency
There is an entire science behind associating content with self-identity of your content consumers. In other words, we consume and share content if it reinforces something about our self-identity. We choose our content like we choose the clothes we wear or the car we drive.
Here is a small example. I noticed on the web that many people I admire were watching Breaking Bad. I began to watch this show because I emotionally associate with these friends.
I posted about my progress with the show as a type of social currency to demonstrate that I am part of the cult around this television series. It was not even a conscious act but the content I consumed and shared subtly became part of my identity.
4. Atomizing content
If people don't have time for long content, can you get smaller chunks of content through the pipeline? This would explain innovations such as Vine, Pinterest and infographics.
5. Understanding and working through advanced content filters
Jeff Domansky described the current state as "a drunken frat party" of content. Every search algorithm is going to be working hard to personalize the delivery of content and advanced new filters like Zite will make it even more difficult to break through with new ideas and products.
The content marketing formula used to be pretty straight-forward: Create useful, relevant content and optimize it in every way so it shows up at the top of Google search.
That is about to become infinitely more complex. In addition to personal filters, cognitive computing platforms like Apple's Siri or IBM's Watson use content as "fuel." What does marketing look like in that environment? How do we align ourselves with these filter and produce content in forms that can be absorbed and displayed by these algorithms?
6. Eyes on entertainment
In my classes, I emphasize that a focus on consistently producing content that is RITE — Relevant, Interesting, Timely, and Entertaining — will drive the right behaviors to produce shareable content. Of these, I think the big word for the future is "entertaining." But this is not necessarily going to be easy.
Look at what Chipotle is doing to sell burritos — producing multi-million-dollar mini-movies featuring popular songs and entertainers like Coldplay. That kind of multi-million-dollar quality is not sustainable for most businesses and will hasten the exit of marginal content producers. I think this partially explains why Chipotle's leading competitor Qdoba just filed for bankruptcy, a victim of Content Shock.
7. The paid imperative
As Christopher Penn recently wrote, success in the future probably can't depend on organic reach alone — we will have to have some paid component of a content strategy.
This hand is already being played for us, isn't it? With Facebook's organic reach diminishing year by year, companies have no choice but to pay for sponsored posts that can reach a larger audience. New platforms that integrate with traditional advertising and media will be a key idea.
8. Hit 'em where they ain't
If your competitor has overwhelmed the market with blog content, try videos. If videos are saturated for your business, start a podcast. Are there alternate platforms like Slideshare, Instagram, Pinterest or Google+ where you can make a mark?
In other words, look for alternate delivery channels. Should your business be on the lookout for the next big thing?
9. Borrow a Bigger Pipeline
Most people only look at "paid media" or "earned media" but there is an increasingly powerful third alternative: Borrowed Media.
In a recent Marketing Companion podcast, my co-host Tom Webster commented that the top search results for a new shoe he was looking to buy were all blog posts. Not articles in trade magazines. Not content on the shoe company's website. Not organic news results. Blog posts.
Let that sink in.
As I wrote in my book Return On Influence (a thorough tutorial on this emerging channel), we are in the era of the Citizen Influencer where passionate, trusted experts wield an incredible amount of power over loyal audiences. Companies are now beginning to recognize this as distinct marketing channel and must develop a core competency in the art and science of influence marketing.
In the past 12 months we have seen the beginning of influence marketing departments and even boutique agencies working this niche.
10. Human Connection.
Every week I receive heart-felt messages from members of the blog community like this: "Each morning I sit down with a cup of coffee and your latest blog post. I feel like you are a friend sitting across the table from me giving me a daily marketing lesson."
I work hard to create a true connection with my readers, and it is not something I can fake. I really do care about you and I work hard to write in a way that earns your trust every day.
Connecting in a human way is what leads to that trust. Trust leads to loyalty. And I believe that loyalty trumps everything else I have written about in this blog post.
I sincerely believe that "be more human" is the killer app for Content Shock. The best way to build long-term relationships that lead to business benefits isn't going to be through backlinks, sponsored posts, or native advertising. It is going to be through authentic human connection.
Be. More. Human.
Isn't that the ultimate goal for a person, a business, or a brand? What ideas did I miss here?

Content Marketing and the challenge of radical filters
Feb 17th
I have seen the future and it is ZIte-like.
Zite is the best utility I have seen so far to actually "learn" what content I enjoy. It customizes an evolving delivery system based on what it is learning about me. The more I use it, the better it gets.
In fact, it is doing such a good job delivering intensely amazing content it has become addictive. I've already abandoned many other sources of online news and insight.
But this is not an ad for Zite, which is just one of many innovations we will see to help us navigate through our information-dense world. Today, I wanted to have us think through together the marketing implications of a new wave of radical content filters.
Five years ago when you or I did a search on Google for the best deal on an automobile or a review of a new car model, we would get similar results … probably the same results. But over time, Google has made its search results highly-tailored to your environment. Where are you? Who are you? Who are your friends? This has resulted in an ever-tightening bubble of personalized results. The results you would get today are almost certainly different than what I would get.
Zite is an even more extreme example of this as it actually pushes content to you and only you, constricting the scope of possible content that you see.
Let's say you are trying to create content about automobiles that will be organically discovered by a high-potential customer like me. To get through this filter, you won't just have to somehow push it to the top of Google, you may also have to get it through the Zite algorithm … and all the Zite competitors crowding into this increasingly important space.
Will that require different strategies? Perhaps we won't just be concerned with SEO. We might also need to consider Zite Engine Optimization? : )
Let's twist this one more time. Zite is owned by the American news network CNN. What are the commercial implications of that? Maybe we won't be working on backlinks to please Google. Perhaps content marketing of the future will include advertising with parent companies so our content gets preferential treatment in its filters?
Settling into same-dom
This new era of mega-filters will also present a challenge to any organization or brand trying to introduce a new idea or product. Today when I read an online newspaper or news feed, I am also presented with many alternative content choices. This content might be way out of my normal comfort zone but interesting to me nonetheless. I like reading about new things. I mean, how else would I learn about twerking?
But as information density increases in my busy world, I could definitely see a day when I spend almost all my time with my own personalized filter. I would rarely see things outside my comfort zone because keeping me IN my comfort zone is exactly what these filters are trying to do! If Zite figures out I'm politically liberal, it is probably not going to offer an editorial with a conservative viewpoint. That would be a Filter Fail.
Every online organization is collecting data about us and determining what we are going to view and hear based on the stereotype they are creating for us.
While there are obvious benefits to this, the diversity of my content stream is also being strangled by every search and social media platform into same-dom. Interesting implications for how we learn and discover (or not discover) new ideas, no?
Providing fuel, not content
Let's push this idea of radical filtering to an even higher level.
Siri presents a particularly interesting type of content filter and a plucky problem for marketers. If you ask Siri a question, you might get a verbal answer, not necessarily a list of attributed, optimized content (and ads) to choose from.
I recently had a chance to see where this kind of precise search is heading when I met some people who work with Watson, IBM's amazing cognitive computing technology. This might be the ultimate filter because it is not just tailoring CONTENT for you, it's tailoring one precise ANSWER for you, even if is highly complex. It can process billions of bits of content and solve even the most difficult query in a heartbeat.
When I asked a Watson team member about the importance of content to this breakthrough technology, she paused and said, "It's not just content to us, it's fuel."
Isn't that interesting? What are the implications for content marketing when we're tasked to provide computer fuel instead of merely blog posts and YouTube videos? Will visual and video content even "count" in that kind of environment?
In less than 18 months, IBM developers reduced the size of the first Watson computer from "a bedroom to the size of three pizza boxes." And at the same time, they increased the speed by 24X! Is there any doubt that in the foreseeable future we will be carrying this power in our pocket or wearing it on our wrist?
Adjusting content strategies to a cognitive computing environment will be here soon. This will certainly hasten the demise of marginal content producers and up the game for good ones as precision content becomes a highly-prized resource.
Are you thinking about this now?
In my recent Content Shock article defining the problem of becoming the signal in a world that is insanely dense with information noise, I ended with an open-ended question. What next?
Certainly, this new wave of radical filters is a development worth considering. If you are still of the mindset that Google is the only barrier between your content and a buying customer, think again. It's getting a lot more interesting.
Radical personal filtering. A strangulation of the content stream. Content as fuel. Discuss, won't you?

Plenty of big names passing through waivers
From Freddy Garcia to Darin Erstad, a slew of players have cleared waivers and can be traded at any time.
All those trade rumors that kept us all so mesmerized in the hours before the trading deadline might be springing back to life any minute now.
Many of those same names that were flashing in bright lights on many a GM's bulletin board before the deadline are now back in play, because they were among the group of players that cleared the first flurry of waivers this week.
We've gathered a partial list of players who can now be traded this month, from a variety of baseball sources. Here are just some of the players who maneuvered through waivers:
|Waivers 101
Warning from the surgeon general: Trying to make sense of baseball's waiver system can be hazardous to your mental health.
There are all kinds of waivers for all different occasions. But essentially, here is how waiver deals can be made between Aug. 1 and the Aug. 31 deadline for setting potential playoff rosters:
-- Jayson Stark
Starting pitchers
Livan Hernandez (Expos)
John Thomson (Rangers)
Freddy Garcia (Mariners)
Sterling Hitchcock (Yankees)
Rick Reed (Twins)
Relief pitchers
Jose Jimenez (Rockies)
Mike DeJean (Brewers)
Antonio Alfonseca (Cubs)
Rafael Palmeiro (Rangers)
Tony Clark (Mets)
Adam Kennedy (Angels)
Darin Erstad (Angels)
Among those who didn't clear: Joe Kennedy (Devil Rays), Kerry Ligtenberg (Orioles) and Ben Weber (Angels). Keep in mind that hundreds of players haven't even been through the process yet. So there will be more players out there in the days ahead.
Prospect Rumblings
We now present scouting reviews of some of the higher-profile prospects dealt before the trading deadline:
LHP Brandon Claussen (to Reds from Yankees, for Aaron Boone): "I saw him in his first game (in the Reds' system), and his fastball was 86-88 mph," says one scout. "If he gets back to 90-92, then they've really got something, because his makeup is good, his knowledge of pitching is good and he throws his curve and change to both sides of the plate." But another scout says Claussen's velocity has steadily declined since early in the year, when he made one of the quickest returns from Tommy John surgery in memory: "It doesn't surprise me to see him go through a period where he has kind of a dead arm. He was back pretty quick from that surgery. I think it'll be a year before you see where he's really at."
2B Freddy Sanchez (to Pirates from Red Sox, for Jeff Suppan and Scott Sauerbeck): "I see him as being a dangerous, table-setter type hitter. Ideally, he'll be a No. 2 hitter, that type guy. He's turned out to be a lot better than what I initially thought. He can get on base and hit for average. I don't see him being a big-time power guy, but he'll hit a few home runs. The big worry is, he won't get the protection in the Pirates lineup he would have gotten in Boston."
RHP Scott Proctor (to Yankees from Dodgers, for Robin Ventura): "As a starter, he was just a fringe guy. But they converted him to short relief, and his velocity jumped unbelievably. He's up there at 95-97 now. Last two times out, we had him in the mid- to upper 90s, and he's got a good breaking ball. They might have gotten a sleeper there."
LHP Ryan Hannaman (to Orioles from Giants, for Sidney Ponson): "Here's a guy not many people are aware of who could really be something special. He's had biceps tendinitis this year two times, and it's affected his velocity. But when he regains that, probably next year, you're talking about a power left-hander who throws in the mid-90s. And how many guys like that are out there?"
LHP Mike Gonzalez (to Red Sox from Pirates in the Sauerbeck trade, then returned to the Pirates in the Suppan deal): "I couldn't believe they gave him up in the first place. This guy isn't far from being a big leaguer, and when he gets there, he's got a high ceiling. He runs it up there at up to 93 mph, with the makings of an average slider and changeup. Left-handers with that kind of arm are hard to find."
LHP Royce Ring (to Mets from White Sox, for Roberto Alomar): "I've always liked him. Big left-hander with a plus fastball and the makings of a good breaking ball. Projects as a setup guy, but I wouldn't rule out closing. Should be at least a Mike Remlinger-type, and might be better than that."
2B Victor Diaz (to Mets from Dodgers, for Jeromy Burnitz): "Better-than-average hitter with excellent bat potential, but doesn't look comfortable in the field. Good natural ability with the bat, but finding him a position is a problem."
RHP Joe Valentine (to Reds from A's, for Jose Guillen): "Some people think he can close, but command is the issue. At least he's got a fastball he can throw by some people. It could all come down to developing that second pitch. I don't care if he can get his splitter over the plate. If he can just get it in front of the plate, he can get guys chasing it."Fire-sale Rumblings
Littlefield won't comment on that deal, but he admits it's "confusing" to people in Pittsburgh to see his team trading away players they theoretically ought to be trying to build around.
On the subject of trading away 25-year-old Aramis Ramirez, he says: "I understand it's a confusing message to send to our fans, but at this point, in our analysis of where we're at ... with the ($6-million) commitment we would have made to Ramirez, we can address four or five issues, instead of committing all that money to one guy to play third base."
|Pete Rose Rumblings
The Cincinnati Reds have a managerial vacancy these days -- and a general managerial vacancy, as well. They're just beginning to line up GM candidates. But two baseball men who are friendly with Reds owner Carl Lindner say Lindner already has a first choice as manager:
Pete Rose.
No one would ever admit that publicly, of course. But rumblings about Lindner's passion to hire Rose as his next manager have bounced around baseball since last winter, ever since word got out that Rose could get unsuspended by Bud Selig one of these months.
"Pete is still a folk hero in Cincinnati," says one friend of Lindner. "There is no doubt that if it were up to the ownership group and if it were up to the people of Cincinnati, Pete would be managing that team next year."
Trouble is, they won't get to vote on this one. It isn't up to them, and it probably never will be, even if Rose is reinstated this winter.
Sources close to this situation now say they expect the matter to pull out of Selig's parking lot again following the World Series. Selig clearly has no interest now in upstaging the pennant races or postseason by allowing the Rose circus to set up its tents in the near future. But once the championship tickertape settles to earth in late October, you can expect Rose's furnace to heat up again.
The first order of business is getting Rose back on the Hall of Fame ballot. Because a player has to appear on that ballot within 20 years of the end of his playing career, Rose doesn't have much time left. His ballot clock runs out after the 2005 election, after which he'd be in limbo until at least the 2008 Veterans Committee election. And both Rose and Selig are well aware of that.
So if Rose is reinstated, the only instant benefit for him figures to be clearance to appear on the ballot. But beyond that, as much as Rose wants to headfirst it back into baseball employment, there is no indication that Selig plans to allow him to accept a job as significant as manager, at least in the short term.
There will be a probationary period preventing that type of employment initially. But even once the probation expires, there is expected to be a clause requiring the commissioner to approve any job Rose is offered inside baseball.
So is Pete Rose going to manage the 2004 Reds? No shot. But is he going to end up working for the Reds some day? That appears almost inevitable. The Reds know he can sell tickets and make them money. Rose knows there is no better forum to make himself more money. So it's a dual marketing bonanza just waiting to happen. And as always, the only remaining question is when.
A baseball source outside the Pirates' organization says owner Kevin McClatchy has been under pressure by his partners to reduce losses. Which is one thing. But it's not out of the realm that the Pirates could have a payroll next year that's lower than their revenue-sharing income. And that could raise a massive stink among teams paying into the revenue-sharing pool.
Selig will say only that he's confident the Pirates' owners "will be investing a lot of money in building that club back up." But he also promises that the commissioner's office now "monitors every dollar clubs spend, down to the last quarter. We know exactly what they take in and what they spend it on ... and if it's not spent on baseball operations, the commissioner moves in and makes sure they do. They have to. That's part of the labor agreement."
All we can advise people in Pittsburgh is: Remember those words.
Selig's response: "The same rule was, and is, applied to everybody. There was one matter (the Williamson deal) which we missed, but that was an oversight and it's been dealt with."
Selig won't reveal how that "oversight" has been resolved, but it's believed the clubs will be required to include a second, lesser player in the trade this month to account for the extra dollars. The commish calls charges that he has different standards for the Yankees "beyond ludicrous."
Where the Reds went wrong was having COO John Allen say, at the press conference announcing the firings of Bob Boone and Jim Bowden, that the Reds weren't giving up on the season -- and then dealing away their closer (Scott Williamson), their hottest hitter (Guillen) and their most popular player (Aaron Boone).
Allen also claimed these were baseball deals, not budget-slashing. But money was at the heart of all of them. Besides the salaries the Reds moved, they also raked in more than $3 million in those deals -- and asked, by several accounts, for considerably more.
So could the Reds trades eventually help them upgrade their pitching? No doubt. But were they honest about their plans or the reasons those deals were made? There isn't a jury in America they could convince of that.
Miscellaneous Rumblings
Four months into the season, Mesa's WHIP number (1.73 walks and hits per inning pitched) was higher than any current closer's in the major leagues. And while pitching coach Joe Kerrigan thinks Mesa's only problem is that he has gotten too hunched over -- a habit Kerrigan believes he can undo with a few side sessions -- the longer it takes Mesa to get back to the closer's job, the less chance there is he'll have the same job next year.
Mesa would guarantee himself a $5.95-million option for next season by finishing 55 games this year. But he has been stuck on 40 games finished since July 30 and, through Wednesday, had finished only five of the Phillies' 21 games since the All-Star break. At that rate, he would wind up with just 52 games finished -- and place the decision on his future in the Phillies' hands instead of his own. Stay tuned.
"My guess," says Buddy Biancalana, his manager this year at Lakewood, "is that, if you put him in the big leagues right now and gave him 36 starts and he held up mentally -- which I think he would -- he could probably win 12 games. But certainly, there's no need to rush him."
"He's back to being the old Soriano. He swings at everything," says one AL scout. "He's been expanding the zone, and it's in his head now."
|A Giant pickup?
The Giants are combing the waiver wire, looking for one more bat -- most likely an outfielder.
Should Reggie Sanders clear waivers, it wouldn't be out of the question for the Giants to take a shot at bringing him back for another October appearance.
"He just has not made progress," says one scout who has seen Henson extensively. "He's been stalled for three years. I haven't seen one ounce of progress. It's one thing not to read a breaking ball. Some guys are always going to be worse at that than others. But he swings at pitches that make you shake your head. He's a great kid. I root for him. But I think that if the money wasn't there, he'd be playing football."
Every indication is that the Houston Texans are running the old Columbus sweep to give him the opportunity to do that, too. But Henson can still earn more than $10 million from the Yankees over the next two years without having to worry about a single 345-pound lineman squashing him. So you can understand why he hasn't shown much interest in the NFL.
One major-league official said recently that Rose was helping his chances by being on his best behavior in recent months. And in an appearance this week at a Joliet Jackhammers Northern League game (the team his son, Pete Jr., plays for), Rose spewed so much praise for Selig, he even joked: "If I went to Milwaukee, I might buy a car from him."
Asked by reporters what he would change about baseball if he were commissioner, Rose quipped: "I'd put me back in baseball. Wouldn't you?"

Dear Hockey Guy,
Whether from lack of effort or just poor execution, it seems like the NHL does an awful job of promoting the league and its players, which makes it kind of hard for the casual fan to jump onboard. When its hard enough to even find a game on TV, it doesn't help matters that once one does they have virtually no idea who's who or what they should be looking for.
I want to learn more about hockey, so I was wondering if you could answer some questions for me to help me get my hockey sea legs. Some of these questions may seem very "Duh!" to you, but remember, not everyone knows your beloved sport like you... help us.
What are the traditional rivalries? NFL fans all know about bad-blood rivalries like the Cowboys/Redskins, Broncos/Chiefs, and Bears/Packers. What are the big rivalries in the NHL? Who absolutely hates each other and why?

As she glides through the water, Winter the dolphin appears to be completely normal. But she is the world's first bionic sea creature after being fitted with an artificial tail. Only closer inspection reveals the dolphin's rear end is entirely prosthetic. Winter, an Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphin, lost her own tail after being caught in a harsh crab trap.
She was found at just two-months old in 2006, floating in distress off the coast of Florida. Rescuers rushed her to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, in Clearwater, Florida, where they battled to save her life. David Yates, the director, said: "For the first few days, we really didn't think she'd live at all. "She had 24-hour around-the-clock care by our veterinary staff, our animal care staff, and our volunteers. "We literally watched her every second of the day."

Like a fine wine, Tod Howarth (Frehley's Comet, Cheap Trick, Ted Nugent) demonstrates with his new CD Opposite Gods that in the 10 years since his last solo rock CD West of Eight was released he has improved with age, becoming ever more nuanced and complex.

There would be silence, but cold has a sound of its own. The branches of trees freeze solid and crack under the weight of the snow with sounds like muted gunshots. – Kari Vaara
Set in Lapland, Northern Finland during Kaamos, the time of year just before Christmas when temperatures plunge to -40° and night never gives way to day, Snow Angels marks the stunning English language debut of author James Thompson.

...and all through the league, the Vikings, Broncos, Bucs and Jets wanted a playoff spot, they didn't care what seed. Unfortunately, they all fell flat on their faces and failed to lock up those coveted playoff spots.
Despite putting up a 10-0 fourth quarter the Vikings, who lost at home to Falcons, were simply unable to climb out of the 24-7 hole they had dug for themselves through the first three quarters. They now go into Week 17 needing to beat the defending Super Bowl Champion Giants to secure the NFC North. The Buccaneers, also at home, managed to let a 24-20 lead and an NFC Wild Card berth disappear when their defense allowed the Chargers to score 21 unanswered points in the fourth quarter. They now need a win, and a Dallas loss to Philly, to get in.
The Broncos also had fourth quarter issues; up 20-16 heading into the final 15 minutes they were outscored 14-3 and let their chance to lock up the AFC West slip away. Now it's winner take all in a head-to-head showdown with the Chargers in Week 17. The Jets didn't have fourth quarter issues. No, they just stunk period. Managing only a field goal in the first, they went on to lose to the Seahawks 3-13, wrapping up a perfect 0-4 West Coast record for the Jets this year and setting up their own win and you're in (and AFC East champs) head-to-head with the Dolphins.

What We've Been Up To
For several issues, I have sacrificed the space reserved for this column to include more interesting and useful articles, but it is time to give you an update on what is happening at Linux Journal.
Despite several setbacks, including my computer dying, LJ has improved over the past few months, as we are told over and over again in letters to the editor. However, we see much more room for improvement—and the more subscribers we have, the faster we are able to improve. Our thanks to all our subscribers!
Our greatest improvements will come from our readers. There is only so much that we can write; you, our readers, use Linux for things that we haven't thought of yet. In this issue, for instance, you'll read how Vance Petree at Virgina Power has implemented a system for managing large amounts of data using Linux systems (see page 23). In our September issue, Greg Wettstein wrote about using Linux to manage patient care for a large cancer research center. It is our policy to print at least one article each month about how Linux is being used in the real world, but we are dependent on you, our readers, to keep us informed.
We have hired several new staff members to process all our new subscription orders and to spend more time editing the articles. We have designed short monthly features with useful information, including ftp sites where information about Linux is available. Over the last few issues, we have instituted a policy of including a guide to available applicable resources of all types (including Internet sites, WWW URLs, and books) with most articles. We are now in the process of publishing a book called The Linux Sampler, filled with a mix of articles from Linux Journal, with sections on Linux history, systems administration, resources, and real world applications.
We exhibited at Unix Expo, as was covered in last month's Linux Journal, and helped make technical contacts between Linux developers and hardware and software vendors interested in Linux. We sponsored a two-day Linux Conference at Open Systems World in December, which included several short classes on a variety of topics and one full-day tutorial introduction to Linux.
Also, we like having fun with Linux just as much as the rest of you do. Many of you have seen our "My Other Computer Is a Linux System" stickers and t-shirts; we are now offering a Linux bumpersticker, and we sell other Linux-related products through our catalog. If you have other ideas for fun Linux-related items, feel free to send them to email@example.com.
Michael K. Johnson is the editor of Linux Journal, and is also the author of the Linux Kernel Hackers' Guide (the KHG).

Applications Integration — Core HR And Talent Management
By Naomi Bloom on December 2, 2014
There is a tremendous need for deep and robust integration between the traditional HRMS processes,
being built organically, on top of a common architecture and object model. The heyday for standalone talent management suites is over.

Why I'm Against Succession Planning at Startups
By Dave Kellogg on October 3, 2014
I have to admit I'm not a fan of succession planning in general, at startups in particular, and especially when the successee is involved in the process. Why? Because the process quickly ends up presumptuous and political. In my experience, the successee is more concerned with being a "good guy" on the way out than […]

Where did the 'Human' in Human Resources go?

Twice in my career, I've hired Connie Laughlin. She's a great HR and Resource Management executive. Interestingly, her last employer has had to downsize and now she's on the other side of the fence. Instead of hiring others, she's the one looking for a job. And, she's noticed something I've heard a lot about lately: […]

21:2–20 The historian supplements the record of Jehoram's reign in Kings (2 Kin. 8:16–24); in Kings the assessment is negative. Jehoram reigned as co-regent with Jehoshaphat 853–848 b.c. (2 Kin. 1:17; 3:1), and by himself 848–841 b.c. He murdered his brothers (21:2–7); Edom and Libnah rebelled against him (21:8–10); he fell into idolatry (21:11); and Elijah prophesied an impending judgment (21:12–20).

Van Engelen 40% off
Woo hoo!! Not that I need anymore to plant but am gonna go look anyway!! Judy
Hey don't be too quick to bump this kind of important sale info down!
I'm wondering how people made out on this sale. I got a bit carried away last year, but this year I'm holding back.... Other interests this fall, not because the 40% off isnt awesome!
I bought some bulbs and lillies right after I got the email notice from Van E. What I really like about them is their swift order processing. I ordered last thursday morning, when I knew friday's weather was forecasted to be nice, and they arrived the next morning. I don't get this fast delivery on bulbs from anyone else that I know.
Hey Kato, I didn't think anyone was interested so I just bumped it to mooooove it along. lol!! I got carried away last year too but ordered from Scheepers because I forgot all about VE. Anyway, I know they are sister companies or something like that but with the big quantities I buy you get a better deal at VE and now 40% I had to refrain but wanted to share with everyone.
Wow Paula, next day delivery. It takes them a few days to get to me here in Georgia. But love them when they do get here!!

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Buhler Recreation Park organizing equipment drive
Buhler Recreation Park is spearheading an effort to get sports equipment into the hands of kids who need it.
Facility manager Steve Mymko started up the North-East Kids in Need drive with help from area councillors Jeff Browaty (North Kildonan), Thomas Steen (Elmwood-East Kildonan), and Russ Wyatt (Transcona), as well as Elmwood-Transcona MP Lawrence Toet.
Mymko said he is seeking new or gently-used equipment from any sport for the drive.
"It could be soccer cleats, it could be golf clubs, baseballs, soccer balls, soccer equipment, hockey equipment — it doesn't matter," Mymko said, noting the drive doesn't have a set figure for how much it expects to receive. "We know that the people in the northeast part of Winnipeg always rise to the occasion to help their own, so we're counting on their support."
Mymko, who has volunteered with Christmas Cheer Board, has seen the need in the area, and figured the park had a chance to be at the centre of a movement.
"With us, having a park, we'd act as a good place to have a depot," he said. "It goes along with our business statement of being part of the community."
Mymko said the involved politicians have been in contact with local organizations, and will help to determine where the equipment will best be distributed. He noted a large influx of the equipment will go to the Clara Hughes Recreation Centre in Elmwood.
In addition to the park, located at 135 Murdock Rd., other drop-off sites include the Transcona Nationals clubhouse (875 McMeans Ave. E.), Toet's office (127 Regent Ave. W.), Guertin Equipment (35 Melnick Rd.), and Transcona Centennial Square during the Transcona BIZ Farmers' Market (held every Thursday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.). Equipment will be collected until Sept. 21.
Mymko said local businesses interested in becoming a drop-off site can contact him at the park at firstname.lastname@example.com or 204-777-2255.
As well, he said individuals or organizations looking to make a bulk donation can contact the park to arrange for a truck to pick it up. He said equipment should be ready to go if a pick-up is requested.
"People have got to realize that we are volunteers, too, and we're not there to clean anybody's basements or garages," he said.

Comment: Re:people are going to be saying (Score 1) 727
so this copilot is a complete scumbag
You do not know enough to conclude this.
How often do suicidal bus drivers drive off a cliff? Suicidal operators of huge industrial machines take down their workplace? Pretty rare, even if there are hundreds of times as many bus drivers / heavy machine operators as compared to airline pilots.
Many countries have zero effective regulation on bus driver / machine operators sleep cycles. Lots of drivers / operators work without any social interaction which could have helped detect and even prevent suicidal tendencies. This pilot was at least working along with another human being. Was in Europe - which at least on paper had good sleep cycle regulations, and knowing Europe, regulations would have had some force of effect too.
There could have been other reasons for this event. Your ignorance of them do not make those reasons stop existing.
